Su Jingyi opened her eyes and looked towards her rival not far away. She didn't feel surprised at all that Immortal Miao Feng could bypass the palace guards and appear here without anyone noticing. This wasn't the first ti it had happened, and it wouldn't be the last.
The relationship between Su Jingyi and Immortal Miao Feng was very complicated. Despite being sworn enemies, they were also confidantes. There were certain matters that only the two of them could confide in each other about, and they were both certain that the other would never reveal their secrets to anyone.
Immortal Miao Feng gazed at Su Jingyi, her friend and foe, as she reclined gracefully on a couch. Her white robe cascaded down, with the sides open. Although she appeared expressionless and sowhat aloof, her elegant and languid posture exuded mature charm.
"I wanted to have a chat with you," Immortal Miao Feng said as she sat at the table. She gently lifted a teapot and poured herself a cup of tea, taking a small sip before placing the cup down. She mumbled, "Is the current emperor close to death?"
"Yes, at most within two years," Su Jingyi replied calmly. "Perhaps even less than two years."
"Is there a successor?"
"This matter has nothing to do with . It's their own affair, and they can solve it themselves," Su Jingyi said, pursing her lips. She continued, "Why are you so concerned about these things now? You left your little lover behind and ca here to discuss these matters with , disrupting my peaceful sleep."
Immortal Miao Feng frowned slightly, feeling a bit puzzled. What's going on with her today? She ntioned my little thief twice in just a few sentences. Could it be that our unexpected encounter last ti left a deep impression on her? Is she starting to miss him day and night?
"Why are you so concerned about my lover?" Immortal Miao Feng asked coldly.
"Concerned? ?" Su Jingyi sat up, looking at her with annoyance and disdain, "Don't think of the way you think of yourself. I won't fall into the trap of love, especially not for your man. The mont I saw your little lover last ti, I knew he wasn't a decent person, let alone a suitable match for ."
"That's for sure."
"If he were a righteous gentleman, I might not have liked him," Immortal Miao Feng said with a hint of a smile. She stared straight at Su Jingyi and said in a soft voice, "My little lover adores won like you, mature and alluring. Now, I'm worried that if you two et alone, you won't be able to resist his sweet words, and he won't be able to resist you."
Su Jingyi was montarily taken aback but then unexpectedly smiled lightly. She calmly said, "I didn't expect you to be so lacking in self-confidence. It's making curious about your lover. What kind of man can make you so uncertain?"
Curious? The road to curiosity ultimately leads to developing feelings. Immortal Miao Feng rolled her eyes and said coldly, "I won't let you et him alone."
"You're quite protective," Su Jingyi replied without getting angry, finding Immortal Miao Feng's caution sowhat amusing.
With that, Su Jingyi stood up and walked towards Immortal Miao Feng, her hips swaying slightly. Although a green ribbon was tied around her waist, it wasn't fastened tightly. Coupled with her attire of just a robe, her every step exuded unmatched allure. Her coquettishness rivaled that of Immortal Miao Feng herself, and every move she made could drive n crazy.
Su Jingyi slowly sat across from her, poured herself a cup of tea, lifted the cup, took a small sip, and put it down. She quietly watched the tea in her cup. At this mont, she exuded an astonishing charm from head to toe.
"Sigh," Su Jingyi sighed, raised her head, and looked at the big demoness blankly. She mumbled, "We've known each other for twenty years, during which we've had countless battles, big and small. Now, I find that the one who understands the most, who knows the best, is actually you."
"I'm different from you; I have my little thief," Immortal Miao Feng said indifferently.
"That man… is he really that good?" Su Jingyi asked with a puzzled expression. "I can't see it. Although he has a handso face, he exudes an air of impropriety, especially his eyes. They seem quite wicked, like the most lascivious person in the world."
"I happen to like that about him. What's it to you?" Immortal Miao Feng rolled her eyes. Although Su Jingyi's words accurately depicted the true nature of the little thief, she didn't like hearing it. When had her little thief beco a subject of discussion for Su Jingyi?
With that, she couldn't help but start complaining again.
"He's indeed not a good person, both lewd and mischievous. Over the past thousand years, I've t many young talents, so of whom were talented in both literature and martial arts. However…" Immortal Miao Feng couldn't help but laugh. "But for so reason, he's the one who has captured my heart, despite his flaws. Perhaps it's fate."
As she spoke, she looked at Su Jingyi across from her and said in a calm tone, "Don't think that I'm the only one. If you had t him first, you would be just like ."
"Hmph."
"Maybe not!"
Su Jingyi was full of resistance.
In the ti that followed, these two experienced and shapely won each sipped tea and contemplated their thoughts. Occasionally, they exchanged a few words, but not much. A few sentences were enough to conclude their conversations.
"Is Xuan Yin and Xuan Shi doing well? I haven't seen them in a long ti," Su Jingyi thought of the two demon won and asked in a soft voice.
"They're fine," Immortal Miao Feng replied.
Despite her influence, Xuan Yin and Xuan Shi harbored hostility towards Su Jingyi. But Su Jingyi didn't mind. She cared for the sisters, especially Xuan Shi.
"This pill is for Xuan Shi." Su Jingyi took out a pill and handed it to Immortal Miao Feng, saying, "This pill will help her break through her current bottleneck."
"Mm." Immortal Miao Feng accepted the pill without refusal. As she looked at Su Jingyi, she had words she wanted to say, but she swallowed them back. She couldn't let Su Jingyi et the little fox just yet. If they t and my little thief was ntioned, everything would be exposed.
…
Zhao Yueyan stood by Lu Xun's side, silently watching him converse with an old woman. Deep inside, she felt a slight ripple, and her curiosity about him grew. What kind of man was he really? He was powerful enough to conquer the thousand-year-old demon Immortal Miao Feng, yet he didn't exude any aura of dominance, almost like an ordinary person.
When Lu Xun finished giving away all the gold, he felt a sudden relief, even though this matter had nothing to do with him. He couldn't explain why he wanted to get involved in it. He turned to look at Zhao Yueyan beside him, who appeared lost in thought. Curiously, he asked, "What are you thinking?"
"…"
"You stand at the pinnacle of this world, but yet…" Zhao Yueyan furrowed her brows and mumbled, "You seem so ordinary."
"That's what you think is the pinnacle. In reality, I've been an ordinary person from the beginning to the end," Lu Xun shrugged and replied casually.
"If you're an ordinary person, then there are no ordinary people in this world," Zhao Yueyan said with a disdainful expression.
Ignoring her, Lu Xun turned back and walked in the direction they ca from. Seeing him disregarding her questions, Zhao Yueyan felt a bit resentful, but she didn't dare to confront him. She could only stomp her foot in place and reluctantly followed.
"Now that the succession is settled, what should I do next?" Zhao Yueyan asked.
"Well," Lu Xun replied, "observe the situation for now. Currently, your father, your older brother, and your second brother almost monopolize all discussions. Trying to break into their circle would be a fantasy. However, there is a thod you might not have heard of, the ‘Nine-Turn Intestine Strategy.'"
Huh?
The Nine-Turn Intestine?
Zhao Yueyan was puzzled.
"This strategy is one of the most brilliant sches in the world, involving the manipulation of three wise n through a single plan," Lu Xun paused before continuing, "The best way is to use a similar strategy to make the father and sons turn against each other while you reap the benefits."
With that, Lu Xun smiled and added, "Everything is still early. There's no need to rush."
Hearing his words, Zhao Yueyan didn't bring up the matter again. She walked alongside him aimlessly, but every road had its end. After a long ti, they arrived at the inn where Lu Xun was staying. After bidding farewell, Zhao Yueyan left on her own.
However, after just a few steps, she couldn't help but turn back, watching the place where he disappeared, silently wondering; what kind of man is he, really?
Back in his room, Lu Xun found the two books he had acquired the previous night. He opened one of them, titled "Record of the Tastes of Noble Won in the Capital," and beca engrossed in reading. To his surprise, he found it quite interesting. There were so many noblewon in the capital!
Wang Shi: Wife of the Minister of Revenue, currently approaching forty-two but appears in her thirties, with two sons and a daughter.
Zhang Shi: Wife of the Right Deputy Minister of Revenue, currently approaching thirty-seven.
Tian Shi: Wife of the Right Deputy Minister of Personnel, currently fifty-three.
Lu Xun flipped through the pages for a long ti, feeling overwheld. This little book was a bit too brutal. It should have been titled "Records of Milfs in the Capital" instead. What's more, there were even won in their seventies included. This… is a bit too much.
"Hmm?"
"This…"
Lu Xun reached the last page, which imdiately piqued his curiosity.
Lady Crescent Moon (Special): The late Crescent Moon King's virgin widow, currently at the age of forty-one, with no children. Rumor has it that Lady Crescent Moon has a private relationship with the contemporary immortal, Su Jingyi. Be extrely cautious, or else the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Lady Crescent Moon."
"I rember she doesn't reside in the capital."
Lu Xun actually wanted to et this Lady Crescent Moon. After all, he had the conditions to et her, especially since the little fox had a good relationship with her. It seed quite simple to arrange a eting, but the image of the mischievous little fox with her sharp teeth and claws crossed his mind, making him instinctively shake his head.
Maybe he should think about it later.
Putting away the book titled "Record of the Tastes of Noble Won in the Capital," Lu Xun then took out the book titled "Learn Invincible Iron Crotch Kung Fu from Scratch." As he touched the cover of the book, an indescribable excitent and anticipation surged through his entire body.
Iron Crotch skill.
If he could master it and combine it with his strengthened waist, wouldn't that an he could reach heaven from right there?
With this thought in mind, he eagerly opened the booklet and imrsed himself in studying it.
