Coming to Su Jingyi's residence, Immortal Miao Feng had made a significant decision. After all, just last night, she was thinking that her little thief didn't need her help, but she couldn't think of any other way to help him with his sword flying. So she reluctantly ca.
Su Jingyi looked at the enigmatic and sotis friendly demoness before her, finding it hard to accept the situation. The decisive and ruthless Immortal Miao Feng had actually co to seek her help for a man. This was sothing she wouldn't have even dared to imagine in the past.
"Your transformation… I can hardly believe it," Su Jingyi said, sitting up from the couch. She wore a plain robe with no sash tied around her waist, leaving the robe's front open. One could even see her flat stomach, though she still wore undergarnts underneath.
"After all, I have a man now," Immortal Miao Feng replied casually, her tone light. "You don't know the happiness of having a man."
"…"
"What happiness can there be?" Su Jingyi rolled her eyes and said nonchalantly, "Regarding matters of love… I'm not ignorant. These shaful and absurd things, I really can't see any joy in them."
Immortal Miao Feng sighed. "So things can't be understood through imagination alone. They require firsthand experience. Anyway, did you have any information about what I asked you?"
"About a flying treasure?" Su Jingyi asked softly. "I do have a divine weapon that allows sword flying without needing Innate Realm cultivation. But why should I give it to your little lover?"
Immortal Miao Feng frowned, speaking coldly, "I only ca to inquire, not necessarily to ask for it. I can look for a solution myself. I don't need you to solve his problems for . In that case, I'm leaving."
As she spoke, the proud demoness stood up and walked toward the door without looking back.
Watching her departing figure, Su Jingyi's heart remained unmoved. She understood the character of her opponent all too well. This was just an act for her benefit. As long as she counted down three tis, the demoness would definitely return.
One, two, three…
Immortal Miao Feng turned around and ca back, her face dark as she returned to her previous seat.
For a while, in the spacious palace, there was a silent atmosphere. The two most powerful won in the world remained silent.
"Let's forget it," Su Jingyi finally sighed. "Let find that sword and you can give it to your lover."
"I didn't ask you for it; you gave it yourself," Immortal Miao Feng said coolly.
Su Jingyi was sowhat speechless, but she couldn't say much. After all, she had indeed offered it herself. She pursed her lips and casually remarked, "Just don't push your luck. I'm not asking for anything in return."
Immortal Miao Feng remained silent, not even looking at her. She poured herself a cup of tea from the teapot in front of her and started drinking.
Su Jingyi approached her slowly, her graceful steps exuding an extraordinary charm. After all, she was only wearing a robe, and it wasn't even fastened with a sash. When she reached the big demoness, she gracefully took a seat, causing her already perky figure to appear even more alluring.
"When are you going back?" Su Jingyi asked.
"Tomorrow," Immortal Miao Feng replied, her cold deanor from before changing as if she was chatting with a friend. She answered softly and poured a cup of tea for Su Jingyi.
Su Jingyi picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and then said thoughtfully, "I'll tell you sothing as well. I'm starting to lose the desire to continue protecting the Zhao imperial family. If possible, I want to wander the world with a sword."
Immortal Miao Feng looked puzzled and asked, "Why?"
"There's not always a ‘why' for everything. It's like why you fell in love with a man. So things can't be explained with just a single ‘why,'" Su Jingyi said calmly. "But even if I no longer protect the Zhao imperial family, I won't let you do as you please."
Immortal Miao Feng smiled faintly and replied gently, "Actually, you know deep down that you can never escape . Without , you are nothing. Without , the source of calamity in the world will fall on your shoulders."
Su Jingyi didn't argue with her because every word she said was true. She silently raised the tea cup, looked at the clear tea inside, and mumbled softly, "The demon slayer eventually becos a demon."
Immortal Miao Feng glanced at her and said softly, "I think you might just be too lonely. Why not find a man and enjoy love for once? Of course, you can't set your sights on my little thief."
"…"
"There's no man in this world who can have ," Su Jingyi said impatiently. "Besides, your little lover is out of the question. I could practically be his mother given our age."
"Age doesn't matter. I'm practically his ancestor."
Su Jingyi rolled her eyes at her and continued, "I don't know what's on your mind. On one hand, you're trying to prevent from having a relationship with your ‘little thief', and on the other hand, it seems like you're trying to matchmake us. Anyway, no matter what you think, I still stand by my words: no man in this world can have ."
"Of course, an ordinary man won't do. But my little thief is far from ordinary. He's a man with desires and the courage to act on them. Even with his ager cultivation at the ti, he dared to covet my body, and he succeeded. Now, it's even easier for him to covet you. Despite your many assertions, you won't fall in love with anyone, but I'm still very worried. And my worries are not baseless; there are solid facts to back them up."
Glancing at the woman before her in a loose, plain robe, her attire so carelessly worn that it left her front exposed, revealing the mature allure beneath, especially when she inadvertently revealed her seductive charm. My little theif certainly loves this kind of thing. There's simply no resistance.
"Oh, by the way," Immortal Miao Feng said, "Mu Qingshuang is your confidante, isn't she? Twenty years ago, I killed her husband, and it seems like she's been living as a widow ever since. There were rumors that the Emperor had tried to arrange her marriage several tis, but it never ca to fruition. Is there your involvent in that?"
"Yes," Su Jingyi nodded. "Qingshuang is indeed a friend of mine."
As she spoke, she looked at Immortal Miao Feng and said quietly, "She doesn't hold any grudges against you. On the contrary, she's quite grateful to you. She didn't like her husband and thought she was going to have a miserable marriage. But then, you ca along and changed her fate."
Su Jingyi then hesitated for a mont and mumbled, "Xuan Shi and Shuang'er also have a good relationship."
"I know," Immortal Miao Feng casually remarked, "That little girl thinks she can hide things from , but I've known for a while."
"That…"
"Is Mu Qingshuang similar to you in terms of figure and appearance?" Immortal Miao Feng continued to ask.
Figure and appearance?
The image of Mu Qingshuang crossed Su Jingyi's mind. It was from a month ago when she had gone to see her. Qingshuang, wrapped in a long robe, was lying on a chaise lounge, lazily sunbathing. The afternoon sunlight illuminated her, and though her robe was modestly closed, it made her look even more graceful and radiant.
"She's a widow. Your little lover wouldn't be interested," Su Jingyi replied nonchalantly.
After all, how could her little thief be interested in a widow?
Immortal Miao Feng felt she might be overly suspicious and hurriedly picked up the teacup, pretending to take a sip to ease the awkwardness.
However, her actions didn't escape Su Jingyi's eyes. She couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of her slightly embarrassed expression. All this fuss for a man? It's as if every beautiful woman in the world is her rival, and she's worried about this and that.
Speaking of which, is that young man really that good? Why can't I see it?
Su Jingyi rolled her eyes and asked in a hushed tone, "How did you end up in this love affair?"
Immortal Miao Feng hesitated, and after a brief contemplation, she softly said, "Although he's a bit rogueish, playful, and quite the unfaithful type, I couldn't resist how good he was to . He's also articulate, every word of affection goes straight to my heart, and slowly… I fell into his tenderness."
After finishing her explanation, Immortal Miao Feng added with a touch of disdain, "Don't make fun of . If you were in my place, you wouldn't be able to resist either."
Su Jingyi didn't say much. She picked up the teapot and filled their cups with water, muttering to herself, "I think it's because there isn't a man in this world who dares to treat you like this. Then suddenly, soone fearless appears, and naturally, he breaks through your defenses."
"Perhaps," Immortal Miao Feng said coyly, "In a thousand years, every man who has seen is either trembling in fear or trying to take my life. Then, suddenly, a man appears who wants to love for a lifeti. It's indeed… hard to resist."
"It's just loneliness. You want a man. No need to say so much," Su Jingyi said rcilessly.
"Nonsense!"
"That's not the case." Immortal Miao Feng was getting angry, "If you keep speaking nonsense like this, don't bla for going on a rampage here."
Su Jingyi couldn't help but smile at this rare outburst of the demoness. She looked at her and asked, "Do Xuan Yin and Xuan Shi know about it?"
"They…"
"Why do you ask so many questions?" Immortal Miao Feng replied coldly. "Whether they know or not has nothing to do with—"
Before she could finish her sentence, the big demoness suddenly felt uneasy and beca nervous.
Oh no!
My little thief is in danger!
"What's wrong? Are you getting ready to leave?" Su Jingyi asked curiously as she watched Immortal Miao Feng abruptly stand up, her face filled with tension and worry.
"He seems to be in danger; I need to save him."
With those words, Immortal Miao Feng hastily rushed out of the door, leaving Su Jingyi sitting there alone.
"Do you need my help?" Su Jingyi asked.
"My little thief doesn't need you to worry about him,"
Leaving behind these words, Immortal Miao Feng swiftly flew away.
