There’s Something Wrong With These Demonic Women!

Chapter 23: You Can Read In Bed

Immortal Miao Feng looked at Xuan Yin's fidgety appearance and thought she was about to confess her feelings of infatuation. Subconsciously, she hid the small wooden box in her hand even deeper, afraid that Xuan Yin might see it and misunderstand.

"That… Master," Xuan Yin bit her lips, showing a hint of hesitation in her eyes, and said softly, "Master, I want…"

"You want a man, don't you?" Before Xuan Yin could finish her sentence, Immortal Miao Feng interrupted her directly, wearing a smile on her face. "Master noticed that you had the thoughts of spring long ago. I just didn't want to make it explicit before, but seeing how you act so coyly, I decided to give you some face. Now you can't hold it anymore, and are you planning to share a bed with him tonight?"

"Master!"

"How can you say such things!"

Hearing Miao Feng's words, Xuan Yin became anxious and frustrated, stomping her foot in anger. "I came to find you just to tell you that I want to read some books! It's not me thinking about love. Can you please stop jumping to conclusions?"

"Read books?"

"Why the sudden interest in reading?"

Immortal Miao Feng looked at Xuan Yin with a bewildered expression and murmured, "I remember you used to hate reading. When I taught you how to read, it took me so much effort for just a little content. When it takes ten years to become a top scholar, you spent ten years just learning how to recognize characters."

"I…"

Xuan Yin was momentarily speechless. Her heroic and spirited face had long turned red, and she stammered, "Lu Xun keeps talking with all those literary expressions that I can't understand. So, I want to read some books to understand what he's saying. Otherwise, when he teases in front of me, I wouldn't even know."

"Is that so?"

Immortal Miao Feng furrowed her brows tightly and gazed at Xuan Yin, saying thoughtfully, "That's a laborious task. It took you ten years just to recognize characters, and understanding poetry and prose… I'd say it's impossible without a hundred years. I don't have that much spare time, and as for Xuan Shi and her limited knowledge, I don't think she's suitable to teach you either."

"I won't ask you or the little fox. I…" Xuan Yin pursed her lips and hesitated, "I'll ask Lu Xun then. He can teach me poetry and literature, and he even bought the relevant books."

Hearing Xuan Yin's words, a sense of relief filled Immortal Miao Feng's expression. A faint smile bloomed on her tender lips. This girl really knew how to deceive herself. She even came up with the excuse of reading just to be with him.

Reading, I'm afraid it will eventually lead to something else on the bed.

"Do you really intend to study?"

"Or are you eyes set on a distant horizon?" Immortal Miao Feng asked with a smile.

"?"

Xuan Yin raised her head, her face full of question marks, and slightly annoyed, she said, "Master, why are you also teasing me? You know I'm not that smart, yet you talk just like him."

"…"

"You should indeed read some books." Immortal Miao Feng said unkindly, "Master's point is that you might be using reading as an excuse to engage in other activities. Are you planning to get in bed with him while using reading as a cover?"

"Master!"

"Why are you saying such things!"

Hearing her master's words, Xuan Yin became flustered and agitated, and her once cold and enchanting face was now red with anger. She said, "I am serious! I really want to read books!"

"You can read in bed too."

"Master has met many talented scholars and beautiful women, and in the end, their reading ended up in bed," Immortal Miao Feng said with a teasing smile. "I already see through it. When a single man and woman study together, the final result is lying in a bed."

Xuan Yin rolled her eyes and muttered, "I am a snake demon. I'm different from other women."

Seeing Xuan Yin still arguing and refusing to admit anything, Immortal Miao Feng lightly pursed her lips and murmured, "Alright, do as you wish. However, he is your husband, and I can't control it either."

"He's not my husband." Xuan Yin bit her lip and whispered softly.

Immortal Miao Feng gave her a blank look and said gently, "Let's drop the subject of reading. Xuan Shi might be coming back soon. Keep an eye on Lu Xun and Xuan Shi, and don't let them quarrel. I can't stand such a commotion; I prefer a quiet environment."

"Okay, I will." Xuan Yin nodded. She looked at her master cautiously and asked, "Master, will Xuan Shi and I really become enemies?"

"This…"

"Your destinies might be at odds with each other," Immortal Miao Feng sighed, "but I could be wrong. After all, you two are so close, and I can't see any signs of enmity between you two. Anyway, let's talk about it later. Also, as the older sister, try to be more considerate of her."

"I understand." After agreeing, Xuan Yin gently said, "Master, then I'll go back to my room."

"Go ahead." Immortal Miao Feng waved her hand and spoke tenderly, "Since you want to read, go ahead. But don't read so much that you start fighting. Of course, if you end up fighting in bed, I have no objections."

Xuan Yin pouted but didn't argue further. She left dejectedly, leaving Immortal Miao Feng sitting in the hall.

After a while.

Immortal Miao Feng took out the small wooden box from behind and her eyes were filled with complex emotions and a bewildered expression. At the same time, there was an imperceptible touch of emotion flowing deep within her heart.

What should she do? How should she handle this box of rouge?

She contemplated and decided to dispose of the rouge to avoid any unnecessary trouble in the future. Slowly, she walked to the courtyard intending to crush the box of rouge and let the wind carry it away into the deep mountains and forests.

However, Immortal Miao Feng hesitated and couldn't bring herself to act. She looked at the exquisite wooden box in her hand, and doubts surfaced in her mind again. Maybe… Maybe he was just being kind and didn't really mean to have me involved.

But what if he did?

Miao Feng furrowed her embroidered eyebrows, and in her mind flashed images that were difficult to describe—shameful scenes that made her curvaceous body blush and even caused her cheeks to turn red and veins to bulge.

"No, no, no!"

"I will never let this happen!" Immortal Miao Feng firmly said to herself while tightly clutching the box of rouge.

With that, she put the box of rouge away; she ultimately couldn't bring herself to discard it.

…

As the hour of the rooster approached, Xuan Yin sneaked out of her room, looking around stealthily. Then, she hurriedly ran towards Lu Xun's room and anxiously knocked on his door.

"Bang, bang, bang—"

"It's me!"

"I came to read books!"
