Chapter 72: I''ll Marry You Too


    In the spacious outer chamber, by the sandalwood tub, a few candles on the table dispersed the darkness.


    The little foxy on the ground in a thoroughly disheveled state. As she looked up at Lu Xun before her, amidst the extreme turmoil within her heart, apanied by her chaotic emotions, Xuan Shi knew just how embarrassed she looked at this moment. She had shown him a moreplete side of herself than even their first meeting, a more thorough one.


    "Ah—"


    "You… you… go back!"


    The little fox was so anxious she was on the verge of tears, her small body curled up into a ball.


    Lu Xun didn''t take advantage of her vulnerable state. He silently returned to the bedroom and then came out again, holding a nket in his arms. He gently covered the fair and delicate body of the little fox and said helplessly, "I heard a startled cry, so I hurried out. I didn''t expect it to be like this. Don''t worry… I didn''t see anything, and even if I did, I wouldn''t be interested."


    The little fox ignored him, wrapped in the nket, still curled up. Her adorable little face was filled with a sense of injustice. Her cherry-like mouth was tightly shut, as she tried not to let herself cry, but the tears still betrayed her and streamed down her cheeks.


    "Shall I carry you to the bed?"


    Before the little fox could agree, Lu Xun gently lifted her from the ground.


    Looking at her heartbroken appearance, Lu Xun, who was ustomed to her mischievous and yful demeanor, found himself at a loss for words. Compared to the big and little demonesses… facing this little fox, he couldn''t quite figure out how to interact with her.


    Taking slow steps, he carried her x to the bed. Instead of leaving, Lu Xun sat at the edge of the bed and gently asked, "Did you hurt yourself from the fall?"


    The little fox didn''t respond. She turned her back to him, but the faint sounds of sobbing indicated that she was still crying.


    "You really…"


    "Why would you fall out like that?" Lu Xun said with a hint of bitterness. "Are your two little legs too short to reach the ground?"


    "…"


    "Ask knowingly…" The little fox pouted her lips, her voice choked as she said, "The tub was so high, and I… I''m naturally short in stature. When I wasing out… I slipped with a thud."


    As her words fell, she tightened the nket around her, and continued to sob, "When we get back… I''ll definitelyin to Sister Xuan Yin, saying that you used force on me…"


    Lu Xun had long understood that the reason the little fox fell was due to the slip. He let out a helpless smile and said, "Alright, alright, don''t be angry anymore. Let''s go to sleep."


    Knowing the little fox''s personality, all three of them were of the type who were tough on the outside but soft on the inside. Lu Xun smiled and said, "Alright then… I''ll marry you too. That way, you and your sister can always be together."


    Hearing his words about marrying her, the little fox, who was curled up in the nket, couldn''t help but tremble inside. A strong sense of embarrassment ran through her, and she clenched her lips, annoyed, "You… you dare say you''re not lusting after my body?"


    "Huh?"


    "I was just going along with what you said…" Lu Xun said helplessly, "Alright… can we just consider that a one-time ident? Don''t tell Xuan Yin about this either. It''s taken a lot for her and me to fall in love, and right now, your sister Xuan Yin is in the stage of yin energy eruption. If you cause amotion like this… she might lose her life."


    The little fox opened her mouth, but the words she wanted to say hovered there for a while before she swallowed them back down, murmuring, "I… I was just angry."


    "But…"


    "But after you''ve seen my body, you can''t just let it go like this." The little fox pouted her small mouth and said in a sulking manner, "In the future… I want to go down the mountain to y, and you… you must apany me."


    "Are you afraid of being scolded by Xuan Yin and Immortal Miao Feng? That''s why you''re forcibly dragging me along." Lu Xun smiled slightly and gently said, "Alright, alright, if you want to go down the mountain to y, then I''ll stay by your side. But don''t go out all the time. You know your Master''s personality."


    The little fox pouted her mouth, grumbling, "I know… you don''t need to tell me."


    Lu Xun raised his hand and lightly patted her little head, then got up to leave the bedroom. Just as he was about to pull the curtain aside, he turned back to the little fox on the bed and said, "I''ll be in the outer chamber… call me if you need anything."


    With that said, he left, leaving the little fox lying alone on the bed.


    Xuan Shi turned around, looked towards the outer chamber, and then gazed at the bed curtains in silence. Her nimble little mouth was tightly pursed, her eyes shimmering with a hint of tears. Her mind was already nk, and waves of grievances crashed against the dams of her heart like sea waves.


    What should I do?


    He saw the mostplete side of me by ident… even though I was lying on the ground. But… it''s already so embarrassing.


    Ashamed!


    Master said that if a man were to see her body, there were only two choices: kill him directly or fall in love with him. As for killing him, leaving aside whether she had the strength to do so, if he were to die, Xuan Yin would be in danger. If her yin energy erupted, it could im her life at any moment.


    As for falling in love…


    Complex emotions filled the delicate face of the little fox.


    In truth, Xuan Shi had a secret she couldn''t reveal, even Xuan Yin and Immortal Miao Feng were unaware of it. The three books she had stolen from Lu Xun''s room that night, she read them veryte… until she fell asleep. She had an inexplicable dream, where she became the woman in a drawing, and the man was… it was Lu Xun.


    Suddenly,


    The curtains of the bedroom were lifted, and Lu Xun walked in from the outside.


    "What are you doing here?" The little fox tightened the nket around her body and looked at him warily.


    "Do you want to hear ‘Journey to the West''?" Lu Xun asked.


    "I…"


    When the little fox heard about ‘Journey to the West,'' her face was filled with eagerness and anticipation, but she also didn''t want to lose face. She answered hesitantly, "If you''re willing to tell it, tell it. If you''re not, it doesn''t matter."


    "I''m willing, I''m willing."


    "Why wouldn''t I be willing?"


    Facing the little fox in front of him, Lu Xun waspletely coaxing her. When it came to dealing with the other two, he had two different approaches. For the elder one, he needed shamelessness and flirtation to open her heart that had been closed for thousands of years. As for the younger one, it was about gentleness and yfulness, gradually melting her heart.


    "Hmph…" The little fox gave a cold snort, turned her body away from him, and perked up her ears.


    "Cough, cough!"


    "Let''s continue the story…" Lu Xun sat in a chair and began to tell the story of ‘Journey to the West''.


    In the silent night.


    In the brightly lit bedroom.


    Lu Xun was telling the story of ‘Journey to the West,'' a captivating tale with interconnected plots. On the bed, the little fox was listening with relish, and she even identally revealed her smooth, fair back.


    This time, Lu Xun didn''t keep suspense. He continued to tell the story until the little fox fell asleep. Then he put down the teacup and moistened his throat.


    Gently covering her with the nket and blowing out the candles in the room, Lu Xun carefully left.


    At that moment, the little fox secretly opened her eyes and watched his blurry silhouette in the dimness.


    In that instant…. her heart seemed to be fluttering.


    …
