Chapter 24: Little Demoness Loves To Argue
After a hurried knock on the door, the door slowly opened from inside, and Lu Xun stood there, staring at the aloof little demoness in front of him. She looked slightly nervous, which made him find it amusing. He grinned mischievously and said, "My dear wife, you don't seem to be here to study; it looks more like you've come to have a secret rendezvous with me."
A faint blush appeared on Xuan Yin's cold and charming face as she replied icily, "Stop with the nonsense and get out of the way. Let me in quickly. If my master sees me, I'll chop off your head!"
"If she sees, then she sees," Lu Xun shrugged and moved aside, saying, "Come in, come in. I specially cleaned the room and lit some incense I bought from Quanzhou City. You'll surely like the atmosphere for studying."
Xuan Yin rolled her eyes and walked straight into his room. Indeed, the room had been thoroughly cleaned, but compared to her own boudoir, it was a bit shabby with just a bed, a table, and two wooden chairs, which made her feel a bit distressed.
"Sit here."
"I'll light the candles." Lu Xun pointed to a wooden chair and then took out two candles and lit them with a match. He then sat next to Xuan Yin, and under the bright flames, the room became even brighter.
At this moment, Lu Xun looked at Xuan Yin beside him, perhaps because of the candlelight. Her stunning face had a touch of blush, combining feminine softness with a hint of elegance. Her long and thick eyelashes cascaded like upturned fronds, elegantly draping over her eyes. Her straight and delicate nose was perfectly curved at the tip. Above all, her cherry-like lips outlined all the beauty in the world.
Xuan Yin also noticed his dazed expression, and her heart was stirred by the indescribable emotions. She pursed her lips slightly and her eyes flickered with annoyance and helplessness, but more than anything, there was an inexplicable excitement. She coldly said, "Aren't you going to teach me?"
"Sorry…"
"I lost my composure just now." Lu Xun awkwardly and politely said, "Blame it on my wife's extraordinary beauty. She made her husband momentarily enchanted. My wife is truly indescribably gorgeous, with looks that can make all the beauties in the world pale in comparison. I feel like you embody the wisdom of heaven and earth, truly an immortal descending to the mortal realm."
Even if Xuan Yin was slow-witted, she understood the meaning behind his words. Her alluring face turned even more radiant, and a strong shyness washed over her, occupying every part of her body. At the same time, a strange feeling seemed to be about to burst.

The audacity of this insolent fellow! He's actually teasing my desire at a crucial time. I'm already on the verge of being in heat, and now my heart is being stirred up by him. If I'm not careful… No, I must resist!
Xuan Yin forcefully bit her lip, the slight pain constantly stimulating her nerves, trying to use this method to keep herself awake. Fortunately, it works. She gradually returned to a state of no desire.
"Sweet talk."
Xuan Yin said coldly, "Have you not used this on other women before?"
"No!"
"I'm a very principled person and never engage in casual relationships between men and women," Lu Xun said with a smile, "Alright, let's get to the main topic. Since you've passed the stage of learning characters, we'll move on to the next phase. These are all about poetry. I'll explain them to you one by one, and when you have a solid foundation in these, I'll teach you other things."
Xuan Yin looked at the two thick books in front of her and felt an overwhelming headache and exhaustion. Memories of her past suddenly started haunting her. She pursed her lips and asked softly, "So much to learn? How long will it take?"
"Depending on your absorption rate, under normal circumstances…" Lu Xun glanced at the anxious little demoness, his voice tinged with bitterness, "Don't worry, I'll keep teaching you until you learn."
Xuan Yin didn't say anything, looking dejectedly at the two hefty books before her, her adorable lips slightly pouting, revealing a hint of cuteness.
"Don't worry."
"As long as you study with dedication, you'll surely grasp it," Lu Xun picked up a poetry collection and handed it to Xuan Yin, saying earnestly, "Let's start with the simplest and most basic. Come, follow your husband and recite."
Meanwhile, Immortal Miao Feng, wearing a light pink dress, stepped out of her room. Her skin was fair as snow, and her beautiful eyes glistened like dewdrops. She exuded a mature and enchanting charm, especially with her graceful figure, which had a captivating and soul-stirring quality, making people enchanted at first glance.
Initially, she intended to cross the courtyard and sit in the hall. However, she noticed that a room was illuminated by candlelight. She couldn't help but remember when Xuan Yin mentioned that she would go to Lu Xun's room to study during the day. It seemed Xuan Yin was already studying.
Her delicate lips curved into a subtle smile, and a hint of satisfaction appeared in her expression. She then took slow steps towards the hall but changed direction and walked towards that room. She stood in front of the door, eavesdropping on the sounds inside.
"Guanguan, the ospreys are on the river's islets. Graceful and virtuous ladies, gentlemen admire them."
"What does ‘Guanguan' mean?"
"It's a word describing the sound, in this context, the calls of the male and female birds responding to each other."
"Oh."
"It sounds so unpleasant. They must be ugly birds."
"My goodness."
Immortal Miao Feng's smile grew even wider, but at the same time, a sense of hysterical despair welled up inside her. Xuan Yin was undoubtedly a rare genius in cultivation, but when it came to studying, she was just too foolish, and on top of that, she loved to argue.
After laughing, she became a little curious about how the two inside the room were studying. Were they sitting on chairs or lying on the bed? Were they sitting close together or hugging each other? Were they studying with clothes on?
Although she was curious about what was happening inside, Immortal Miao Feng restrained her curiosity and quietly left.
Inside the room, Xuan Yin sat in front of the table, feeling distressed. Her elbows rested on the wooden surface, and she supported her chin with her palms. Her face was filled with melancholy and helplessness as she muttered, "Lu Xun, is there any quick way to instantly grasp all this knowledge?"
Faced with the demoness's question, Lu Xun pondered for a moment, calmly analyzing the situation. He silently stood up, cupping a bunch of air from the book in his hands, and pounced it toward Xuan Yin's delicate face.
"Can you feel a large amount of knowledge coming at you?" Lu Xun asked seriously.
"…"
"Do you really take me for a fool?" Xuan Yin glared at him, annoyed.
