A day passed quickly, and there was only one hour left before he had to be handed over.

Su Jingyi watched the young man not far away as he played with the formation. At that moment, she had an inexplicable urge to go talk to him. However, she didn't know what to say to him. Besides some questions about the formation, it seemed they had no common topics.

"Perhaps it's just an illusion," Fairy Su muttered to herself, lightly biting her lip. "Maybe it's just dissatisfaction with the demoness being happy. Why does she get to have the happiness that I can't? Well, it should be like that."

As she said this, Su Jingyi took out a wooden comb that he had personally made. She looked at the comb in her hand, then glanced at Lu Xun. Silently, she turned her back to him and smelled the comb. A faint fragrance of sandalwood wafted from it.

"Is it really made by him?" Su Jingyi had some doubts. She gently touched its smooth surface, feeling that something was off but not quite sure what. She pursed her red lips, then secretly placed the comb back into her sleeve.

At the same time, Lu Xun pretended to be diligent, fiddling with the several long swords and then standing with an absorbed expression. In reality, his thoughts had long drifted elsewhere. If only they had stockings… the ladies at home had slender, shapely legs, perfect for black stockings. As for the little fox… her short legs would look good in white stockings.

After a moment of contemplation, the corner of his eye discreetly looked at Fairy Su beside him. He gazed at her round and shapely buttocks, which were wrapped in her Taoist robe, and her incomparable generous bosom. He suddenly felt a little restless. However, considering some practical issues, Lu Xun suppressed this impulse.

Indeed, she was quite attractive and tempting. But when it came to Fairy Su, he couldn't use the same tricks he used on the big demoness on her. They were different types, and the circumstances were slightly different. Fairy Su was better suited for a genuine, lasting affection to develop over time.

But then again, this woman was probably no pushover. Those more than forty years of solitude were quite terrifying. Moreover, both Fairy Su and Miao Fengxian were at the seventh realm, and her endurance was certainly not weaker than the demoness. Besides, with her around, there would be no peace in the house.

However, with Fairy Su, the two demonesses and the little fox might be able to coexist peacefully. After all, there would be a common enemy.

Following the traditional approach of defeating external enemies before dealing with internal strife, the three demonesses would likely join forces to resist the enemy. In this case, Fairy Su might end up a little pitiable, as she would be alone, needing to contend with three demonesses. It was unfair to her.

It would be perfect if it could be three against three, plus one neutral party.

Lu Xun licked his lips, and by now, he had already woken up from his daydream. He cleared his throat and said with a serious tone, "Fairy Su, may I ask you a somewhat personal question? Of course, I won't ask anything too private or embarrassing."

"Go on," Su Jingyi replied coldly.

"Have you ever thought about the future? If my wife decides to stay at home to take care of the family and no longer participates in worldly conflicts, then you won't have any value anymore, and you might even become the second Miao Fengxian," Lu Xun asked in a soft voice. "What do you plan to do? Where will you go from here?"

Su Jingyi furrowed her brows slightly and looked at the vast mountains in the distance. She said calmly, "Wandering the world with my sword."

"Autumn frost and jade sword, the robe adorned with the bright pearl in the setting sun," Lu Xun also looked at the mountain range and said with emotion, "I used to be like that too. Wandering the world with my sword, vanquishing demons and leaving no trace, until I met my wife. Among a thousand and hundreds of people, I suddenly turned around, and there she was, in the dim light."

"It's good to have someone in your heart," Lu Xun turned his head to look at the graceful Fairy Su, smiling as he said, "Having someone to care about gives you the motivation to keep going, and having someone who thinks about you is a kind of happiness."

Su Jingyi didn't say anything, she stood there quietly. A hint of emotion flickered in her eyes. She lightly bit her lip and mumbled, "But some people have wanderlust in their blood. They are destined to roam. In this vast world, everywhere is home."

"Although our time together is short, and who knows if we'll meet again in the future, but if that day comes…" Lu Xun paused for a moment, looking at the endless mountain range before him, he said softly, “I long for you like the full moon, but it fades like….”

Su Jingyi listened quietly to his words, especially the latter half of the sentence. An indescribable emotion surged deep within her as she was engulfed by an inexplicable feeling. Just as this unnamed emotion permeated her whole being, her expression suddenly changed. She immediately interrupted him.

"Your wife is here," Su Jingyi said coldly, with a trace of displeasure on her face. It was more of a sense of helplessness and annoyance. Why did she have to arrive at this moment? Couldn't she let him finish the sentence? ‘I long for you like the full moon, but it fades like…' What is fading? Why is it fading?!

In the blink of an eye, a silver streak of light landed next to Lu Xun. Following that, an enchanting figure emerged from the dust and smoke. She glanced at Su Jingyi not far away, then directly dove into Lu Xun's embrace, gently wrapping her arms around his waist. Her seductive face rested on his shoulder, displaying an expression full of yearning and tenderness.

"Miss me?" Miao Fengxian raised her head, her alluring gaze fixated on her little thief, exuding a variety of charming gestures.

Lu Xun, who had been frolicking, was a little tongue-tied at this moment. After all, there was Fairy Su standing right next to him. He couldn't help but awkwardly respond, "I missed you."

"That's good. I thought you were charmed away by her." Miao Fengxian's voice fell, and she leaned close to his lips, giving a quick kiss, stopping just short. When she moved away from his lips, she noticed that the other woman was still standing there, and she immediately furrowed her brows, expressing her displeasure. "Why are you still here? You have nothing to do here. Please return to the capital as soon as possible."

"Demoness…"

"Don't go too far!" Fairy Su looked at her coldly, annoyed as she said, "Besides, it's not time yet. At least there's still an hour."

Miao Fengxian nudged closer to Lu Xun, pressing even tighter against him, and casually said, "Alright, I'll follow our agreement. I'll embrace my little thief for an hour like this, and I'm sure there will be a couple of kisses during that time. If you want to watch, I won't chase you away. But I want to remind you. Don't get too tempted. There are no other men around you, and the taste of temptation won't be pleasant."

As she spoke, she wore a proud and provocative smile on her face.

For a moment, Lu Xun felt like he was about to explode. This seemed like the prelude to a fight. These two were about to go at it again!

Fairy Su's face darkened, her eyes filled with anger. She calmly said, "According to the agreement, your man still belongs to me. Release him immediately."

"Indeed, as per the agreement," Miao Fengxian nodded. She couldn't help but look at the little thief who was close by and gently said, "I'll let go first, but whether you want to hold on or not is up to you."

After saying that, she silently released Lu Xun, but her body still remained closely pressed against him because Lu Xun was currently holding onto her waist.

"Oh my."

"My little thief doesn't want to leave me, Su Jingyi. What should I do?" Miao Fengxian provocatively looked at Su Jingyi, continuously stimulating her with her words. She continued, "You saw that I've already let him go, but he's still hugging me tightly, hugging my waist."

Su Jingyi was about to go crazy. Her anger was nowhere to vent, after all, the demoness had already complied with the agreement. But that damn man was hugging her. In theory, she shouldn't be upset about such a thing, but seeing the triumphant expression on Miao Fengxian's face, she felt extremely displeased.

"Let go!" Su Jingyi said coldly. "Next, I'll teach him some things you can't."

This is a mess!

I'm stuck in the middle, and it's unbearable.

Facing the relentless pressure from Miao Fengxian and Fairy Su, Lu Xun was momentarily at a loss. If he continued to hug the demoness, the delicate connection he had established with Fairy Su would likely be gone forever. But if he let go of the demoness, he would probably face a severe beating when he returned home. He might end up lying in bed for quite some time.

Just as Lu Xun was in a dilemma, Miao Fengxian was touched by a competitive spirit. She said irritably, "I can't teach him? Besides those minor formation techniques that you understand better than me, what else don't I know? Su Jingyi, don't be so self-righteous. You haven't reached the pinnacle yet."

"That means you don't know,"

"I gave him two secret manuals, the ultimate skills of Taoism. Can you teach him that?" Su Jingyi asked.

"…"

"She gave you two secret manuals, and you didn't tell me about it?!" Miao Fengxian didn't pay any attention to Su Jingyi and instead glared fiercely at Lu Xun, staring at him with wide, angry eyes, and asked in annoyance.

It's over, it's over.

Now I'm completely in hot water.

"Well, you see…"

Lu Xun stammered while trying to explain but didn't know what to say from beginning to end. He couldn't even form a coherent sentence.

"I told him to keep it a secret. Do you have any objections?" Su Jingyi looked at the demoness with an intimidating gaze, as if saying: What can you do to me!

"You!"

Miao Fengxian glared at Su Jingyi, gritting her teeth and said, "I don't want to fight with you today. Just get out of here!"

"Get out?"

"The one who should get out is you, right?" Su Jingyi calmly said, "You arrived an hour late and came an hour early, simply unreliable."

In the scene, the two of the most fierce and formidable women in the world were currently at odds, not giving in to each other, and even the air was beginning to be filled with a gunpowder-like tension.

"Tell me! Who do you want to stay with?" Miao Fengxian suddenly pointed her finger at Lu Xun, looking at him coldly.

At the same time, Su Jingyi's gaze also shifted to him.

The pressure had now shifted entirely onto Lu Xun.

Hmm, can I suggest a different scenario? How about letting me have both of them in my arms!
