Chapter 258: Angara: I Still Have This
In an exquisite attic, Miao Fengxian and Su Jingyi, for once, weren't arguing. They sat on the top floor, sipping tea, chatting, and enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Western Regions.
"Do you still want to seize the Heavenly Dao Diagram of the Zhao royal family? Even if you defeat me, do you think he'll leave me?" Su Jingyi casually said while lifting her tea. "My little scoundrel is so stubborn, I bet he'll be in distress, and then all kinds of turmoil."
Miao Fengxian furrowed her brows, initially wanting to correct Su Jingyi's mistake in her words, but after a moment's thought, she chose to stay silent and said lightly, "Whether he leaves you or not is his matter; whether I can defeat you is mine. These aren't conflicting. In any case, I will definitely kill you."
Su Jingyi rolled her eyes but didn't say much. In fact, the demoness in front of her had already compromised; it was just a matter of face. She calmly said, "I already know about your matter with Zhao Yueyan."
"Uh-huh."
Miao Fengxian wasn't surprised and softly said, "What do you want to do about it?"
"Do whatever you want. Anyway, it's not my business, and I'm too lazy to bother. But, you're not allowed to harm Yueyan," Su Jingyi said sternly. "That's my bottom line. If you dare touch her, I will turn against you."
"I understand."
"You and those sisters are like mother and daughter, so I won't do anything." Miao Fengxian picked up a grape with her tender jade-like fingers, elegantly placed it into her mouth, "However, the path to seize the throne is treacherous. You need to maneuver carefully; otherwise, I might let Lu Xun handle it. Are you willing to see him in danger?"
"Hmph!""Don't use him to pressure me. Deal with it yourself." Su Jingyi said unkindly, "If I take action, it will stir trouble in the court."
Without saying much, Miao Fengxian continued eating grapes while gazing at the scenery beyond. She softly said, "Keep an eye on your two goddaughters. Don't let them develop feelings for Lu Xun. The allure of the pure Yang physique is not something they can handle."
"Don't worry."
"You don't need to remind me about this." Su Jingyi shrugged, glanced at the demoness beside her, and asked, "Has he met Xuan Yin and Xuan Shi?"
Miao Fengxian hesitated for a moment, not wanting Su Jingyi to know. Both of them were the same in this regard. She bit her lip and casually said, "Whether he met them or not is none of your business. Anyway, I'll take care of it. You don't need to worry."
Su Jingyi ignored her, busying herself with a pomegranate, popping the seeds into her mouth one by one.
At that moment, light footsteps approached, and Angara strolled up to the attic.
"Found you here, indeed."
"There's something I need to discuss with both of you," Angara sat between them, speaking seriously. "You need to take Lu Xun and leave immediately."
"Why?" Miao Fengxian felt extremely reluctant and asked in annoyance, "Are you tired of us?"
"Angara."
"Is there something you can't say?" Su Jingyi wasn't as direct. She felt that Angara must have some urgent reason; otherwise, she wouldn't be in such a hurry, "Is it those righteous folks coming to besiege you again?"
As the words fell, Miao Fengxian arched her brows lightly, smiling playfully. "If that's the case, it's even better. I haven't had a good killing spree in a long, long time."
".."
"This matter... is..." Angara didn't know how to explain. She couldn't straightforwardly tell them that their lover had an irresistible charm for her due to his pure Yang physique. Continuing to let him stay might inflame her desires.
"What exactly is going on? Can you be straightforward?" Miao Fengxian asked impatiently.
"Angara, let's not hide between us. Just say what's bothering you," Su Jingyi said softly.
Taking a deep breath, Angara finally made up her mind and said earnestly, "Before, I was careless. I underestimated the effect of the pure Yang physique. Unexpectedly, in just a few days, I... I've been feeling my heart racing. If it goes on like this, I might be affected."
In an instant, there was a silent and tense atmosphere. Miao Fengxian and Su Jingyi stared at her in disbelief, their eyes filled with confusion and unexpected expressions.
Heavens! How could they forget this? The pure Yang physique was a bane to all women, and Angara, a resentful beauty alone for hundreds of years, was certain to spark something extraordinary.
"Oh no!"
"I've been worried about his safety, and I forgot about this!" Miao Fengxian stood up abruptly, exasperatedly addressing Angara, "Control your impulses and desires, don't wade into this mess. It's already chaotic enough."
"Yes, yes!"
Su Jingyi stood up too, speaking anxiously, "Angara, there are countless men in this world. Don't follow our lead, hanging on one tree. You have plenty of choices. What I mean is, you're not allowed to fall for him."
Without giving her a chance to respond, the demoness and the fairy hurriedly left.
"Where are you going?" Angara looked at their hurried figures, curious.
"Taking him away!"
The demoness and the fairy shouted in unison.
".."
"Is it necessary to be so nervous?" Angara frowned, muttering to herself, "I just had a few heart flutters. Look at how you two are reacting."
Speaking of which, should she tell them about the spiritual mirror she gave to Lu Xun?
Meanwhile, Lu Xun lay on a bamboo chair, a table with a teapot and a plate of fruit beside him. He hummed a cheerful tune, crossed his legs, and leisurely enjoyed the tea and fruits. His relaxed demeanor was quite something.
"Worldly affairs are so ridiculous, infatuation is the most boring, looking down on everything is also good." Lu Xun closed his eyes, singing a song from his past life, "This life isn't troubled, I just want half a lifetime of freedom!"
"Wake up, forget everything in dreams, sighing that the day turns dark too soon. The next life is unpredictable, love and hate are all erased with a stroke. Toast to wine, I just want to be happy till old age!"
He sang about invincibility, love, hate, and vendettas. Yet, at this moment, Lu Xun only wished for this carefree life. But it was just a beautiful dream. With the complicated situations he faced now, he was bound to be entangled and struggle throughout his life.
"Ah..."
"My life is a mess."
Lu Xun picked up a pomegranate, looked at the azure sky, "I'm stuck in a constant Shura Field. I wonder what Su Jingyi and Mu Qingshuang will do once they find out they share the same man. And..."
"And if Xuan Yin finds out about my involvement with the big demoness and the little fox..."
Lu Xun pursed his lips, overwhelmed with endless shame. In truth, he felt most sorry for the little demoness.
Suddenly, hurried footsteps reached his ears. Following the sound, he saw Miao Fengxian and Su Jingyi rushing over with urgent expressions.
"What's wrong?" Lu Xun, still unaware of the situation, casually ate his fruits.
Miao Fengxian and Su Jingyi looked at the young man, watching him enjoying himself. At that moment, all their complaints vanished. They realized it wasn't his fault; he didn't provoke Angara. It was Angara's inability to resist the allure of the pure Yang physique.
"Have you made any moves on Angara?" Miao Fengxian inquired.
"Huh?"
"No, even if I were daring beyond belief, I wouldn't dare play with fire right under your noses." Lu Xun replied innocently, rolling his eyes.
Miao Fengxian and Su Jingyi exchanged glances. Su Jingyi continued, "In these past days, when she occasionally visited your room, aside from inquiring about injuries, did you discuss other topics with her?"
"Uh..."
"Asked her help to stop your fighting," Lu Xun shrugged, "She seems fond of poetry, and I, upon seeing her, spontaneously composed a poem, mostly praising her beauty. Well, that shouldn't cause any trouble."
Miao Fengxian and Su Jingyi both clenched their fists. They knew Angela was quite obsessed with poetry, and Lu Xun was knowledgeable and capable of creating top-notch poems. The poem he crafted might have struck a chord with Angara's heartstrings.
"You!"
Miao Fengxian glared at him, unable to express her countless words of frustration.
"Alright!"
"It's not suitable to stay here. Let's leave first," Su Jingyi restrained her anger and said to the demoness.
Miao Fengxian nodded and said calmly, "I'll take him back."
"Okay."
Su Jingyi didn't argue and agreed with her plan. Until the situation with the alchemist was resolved, they would proceed as before.
"Are we leaving now?" Lu Xun pouted, cautiously saying, "Isn't this a bit rushed? I wanted to take some fruits with us."
"Buy them on the way!" Miao Fengxian summoned a flying sword and urged Lu Xun, "Hurry, get on!"
"Oh."
Lu Xun obediently boarded the flying sword, gently holding the slender waist of the demoness and pulling her plump figure close.
Su Jingyi, feeling sour and regretful, watched them with jealousy. She grumbled, "You scoundrel, don't hold her so tightly; I'm a bit unhappy."
"Don't worry, Aunt Su, next time I'll hold you like this too," Lu Xun comforted.
At that moment, Angara slowly approached. Seeing the demoness and the fairy preparing to leave, she hurriedly spoke up, "Wait, I have something..."
Before Angara could finish, Miao Fengxian and Su Jingyi flew away, disappearing into the clouds in the blink of an eye.
Angaluo pursed her lips, summoning a spiritual mirror and carefully examining it.
