Chapter 29: Master Seems A Bit Strange?
Immortal Miao Feng had been deliberately teasing him, finding an excuse to embarrass him. In reality, she did not want to withhold teaching him. Just as she was secretly enjoying this, she suddenly felt her hand being tightly grasped, and the powerful grip caused her soul to tremble.
Caught off guard, she heard his voice echoing in her ears.
"Sister, don't go."
"Teach me a bit more, please."
Like a bolt from the blue, Immortal Miao Feng was stunned on the spot, overwhelmed by a strong sense of shame. It nearly consumed all her rationality. How can this man be so audacious and dare to grab her hand like that!
Ah— He even intentionally squeezed it a few times!
As a big snake demoness who had lived for a thousand years, she quickly regained her composure from the bewildering emotions. She swiftly shook off his hand, turned her body around, glared at him with wide-open eyes, and felt an urge to end him with a single sword strike, yet she couldn't bring herself to do it.
He was the husband of her dear disciple, and she had played a role in bringing them together. If she killed him, her disciple, Xuan Yin, would surely hate her. Though Xuan Yin always acted indifferent, it was evident that she had developed feelings for him.
"Sister? Sister Demoness?" Lu Xun looked at her pitifully, pleadingly.
Immortal Miao Feng tightly pursed her lips. She found it hard to deal with him, and this was all caused by her. After hesitating for a long while, she asked, "Did you intentionally grab my hand just now?"
"Just now?"

"Just now, it was just an impulsive reaction. I saw you were about to leave, and I felt a bit flustered, so… it's just a matter between ordinary people. Let's not dwell on these details," Lu Xun explained cautiously, shrinking his head.
"Who said we are ordinary people? I am a demon, and you are a human. Since ancient times, demons and humans stand opposed to each other," Immortal Miao Feng retorted angrily.
Lu Xun stared at her, observing the somewhat embarrassed big snake demoness, and said softly, "I am already Xuan Yin's husband, so what's the point of differentiating between demons and humans? Moreover, you once taught me that there are so many wondrous things in this world. Shouldn't we explore and try new experiences?"
That was a reason to force you and Xuan Yin to cultivate together, not… not an excuse to lust after my body!
Immortal Miao Feng was about to explode with anger, but she restrained herself and sternly warned, "I'll tell you again, don't harbor any ideas about me. I won't pursue it this time, but if you dare to make the same mistake again, I will chastise you properly on behalf of Xuan Yin."
After speaking, she walked towards the center of the courtyard with a fierce momentum. Lu Xun hurriedly followed her, silently muttering in his heart, No wonder the little snake demoness has such a bad temper. It turns out she learned it all from you. It's true that as the leader behaves, so does the follower.
"Continue."
Immortal Miao Feng handed her sword to Lu Xun and said impatiently, "Swing the sword!"
"Eh?"
"We're starting the sword practice already?"
Lu Xun received the sword from her and felt a bit at a loss. He awkwardly said, "I mean, Sister Demoness, can't we follow the proper procedure? I just took a look at your technique, and now you want me to practice it right away. I've never seen such rapid learning."
"Do you want to learn or not?" Immortal Miao Feng furrowed her brows, annoyed. "If you don't want to, forget it."
"I want to!"
"I want to learn!"
Pressured by the assertive big snake demoness, Lu Xun casually swung the sword, but his sword energy was noticeably weaker compared to Immortal Miao Feng's majestic sword energy. The key difference was that his sword energy was just that, while Immortal Miao Feng's could transform into a silver bird.
"Your mind is cluttered, and your sword energy is impure," Immortal Miao Feng said calmly. "Clear your thoughts and try swinging the sword again."
"Ah."
Lu Xun closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and calmed his mind. He slowly opened his eyes and swung the sword towards the sky.
"…"
"I don't feel any change."
Lu Xun looked at Immortal Miao Feng beside him, feeling dejected. "Sister… Sister Demoness, am I a bit beyond saving?"
However, compared to the disheartened Lu Xun, Immortal Miao Feng's face showed a hint of surprise. He… he actually learned it? He learned it faster than Xuan Yin back then. It took Xuan Yin half a day to learn this move, but he only swung twice, and the second one worked.
This Pure Yang Body is truly exceptional. Xuan Yin was already considered a genius in cultivation, but he turned out to be even more astonishing.
"You've improved a bit."
"Keep practicing like this."
Immortal Miao Feng pursed her lips and said softly, "Practice until your sword energy takes form." After saying that, she left without looking back, leaving Lu Xun holding her sword.
"Don't you need your sword anymore?" Lu Xun shouted after her.
"You can use it."
"I don't need this sword."
…
Yesterday, due to reading, Xuan Yin had exhausted herself and fell asleep in bed, a rare occurrence since she usually spent her evenings cultivating.
"Boom—"
A deafening sound startled Xuan Yin awake. She sat up abruptly, feeling angry and annoyed. She was certain that the loud noise was caused by her master, Immortal Miao Feng, probably fooling around in the courtyard again.
Though there were no more noises afterward, Xuan Yin couldn't fall back asleep. She pushed aside the blanket covering her and, dressed in silk trousers and a belly wrap, got out of bed. Her bare feet stepped on the wooden floor, and with a carefree demeanor, she headed to the wardrobe.
Today, Xuan Yin abandoned her previous heroic attire and instead put on a simple and elegant robe. Afterward, she sat in front of the bronze mirror, coiling up her lustrous black hair and securing it with the hairpin gifted to her by someone. As she was about to leave her room, her gaze involuntarily shifted to a box of rouge on the dressing table.
Why not put on a little? Just a bit!
Xuan Yin reached for the box of rouge and gently applied a touch to her face. Though she didn't like showing off, looking at her own reflection in the bronze mirror, the charming and pretty appearance couldn't help but make her feel a bit secretly delighted.
Actually, it couldn't be entirely blamed on Lu Xun for being so brazen.
Satisfied with her appearance, Xuan Yin left the room. As soon as she took a few steps, she saw her master coming out of the hall, looking burdened with something on her mind. It seemed like she encountered some trouble.
"Master?" Xuan Yin hurriedly called out and asked with a concerned expression, "Is there something troubling you?"
"I'm fine." Immortal Miao Feng glanced at Xuan Yin and silently walked toward her own room.
After seeing her master enter her room and firmly close the door, Xuan Yin finally snapped back to her senses.
Why does it feel like… Master seems a bit strange today?
