Volume 1, Chapter 20 – What Can Girls Do Together?

After leaving the Red Spring Pavilion, that pungent fishy-sweet smell gradually faded.

Song Shiyuan’s originally taut nerves also relaxed slightly.

That six-tailed fox demon who made no effort to hide her hostility had actually just let her leave like that.

She’d thought this time she’d at least be severely humiliated by that fox demon.

In the end, she was only struck by two tail swipes.

Sword cultivators were thick-skinned and hardy. Although Song Shiyuan had been struck hard enough to spit blood, for her it was merely a light injury.

She was originally at early Nascent Soul stage cultivation. That fox demon was only one major realm higher than her. Combined with the fact that the strikes weren’t particularly heavy, it just made her look somewhat disheveled, but there was actually no major harm.

This degree of injury would heal after a few days of recuperation.

Compared to her own injuries, she was more concerned about the condition of the little fox demon beside her.

“Are you really okay? Little fox?”

Song Shiyuan noticed the little fox demon’s complexion seemed somewhat poor.

Song Shiyuan herself was a Nascent Soul stage sword cultivator. Being struck once by Hu Xian’er’s tail wouldn’t cause any major problems.

But this little fox was different.

Fox demons themselves were delicate.

A single-tailed little fox demon being struck by a six-tailed great demon, even if the other party didn’t strike with full force, wasn’t something she could withstand.

“Sister Shiyuan, Axi is fine. I just feel a bit tired,” the little fox demon said weakly.

Her face was pale, cold sweat pouring down.

Even Song Shiyuan, this steel-hearted straight girl, could see that this girl’s words didn’t match her condition.

The little fox demon forced herself to say with spirit, “Sister Xian’er showed mercy. She held back when striking Axi, so it’s just a minor injury.”

“I’ll be fine after going back and taking some medicine.”

Song Shiyuan looked at her steadily for several moments.

In the end, her heart still softened.

It was because she was using this little fox demon that she’d brought trouble to this foolish little fox demon.

The little fox demon’s injury was her responsibility.

Even though she’d already made up her mind not to trust fox demons or get too close to them.

When the little fox demon blocked that attack for her, Song Shiyuan knew she couldn’t be heartless enough to pretend she hadn’t seen it.

“I’ll carry you on my back,” Song Shiyuan said.

Hearing this, the little fox demon’s small face reddened slightly. She waved her hands repeatedly. “No need! No need! Axi is really fine.”

Song Shiyuan had already crouched down in front of her.

“Get on. I’ll carry you back.”

A firm tone.

The corners of Lu Zhuxin’s lips curved slightly.

She slowly pressed against the female sword cultivator’s back, her small chest intimately rubbing against the female sword cultivator’s back, first pressing hard before slowly moving upward.

Song Shiyuan’s body stiffened slightly, her elegant brows rising.

Feeling the stiffness of her body, Lu Zhuxin showed a smile of successful scheming behind her back.

Lu Zhuxin stretched out both hands, softly lying on Song Shiyuan’s back, a pair of lotus-root arms hooking around Song Shiyuan’s neck.

Her small face drew close, and she gently blew a breath of warm air toward Song Shiyuan’s earlobe.

One could see Song Shiyuan’s fair skin quickly stained red.

The warm, tingling sensation made Song Shiyuan very uncomfortable.

Her body tensed stiffly. Frowning, she questioned Lu Zhuxin, “Little fox demon, you…”

Don’t mess around!

Lu Zhuxin preempted, predicting Song Shiyuan’s reaction.

She leaned close to Song Shiyuan’s ear, using a suppressed, low voice to whisper.

“Sister Shiyuan, did Axi make you feel uncomfortable?”

“I’m sorry. I know fox demons shouldn’t get too close to sword cultivators…”

“Let Axi get down. Axi doesn’t want to make Sister uncomfortable…”

“…” Song Shiyuan just opened her mouth but said nothing.

The words she wanted to say were all blocked by this little fox demon.

Forget it. Why argue with a little fox demon who just took human form? This foolish fox demon doesn’t understand anything.

“It’s fine.” She lowered her eyes. “Just don’t lean close to my ear when you speak.”

The little fox demon’s soft, sweet whispers made her entire ear tingle.

From the ear root all the way to her heart.

Tingly and numb.

“Okay, Sister Shiyuan.” Lu Zhuxin’s eyebrows curved. She quit while she was ahead, not continuing to tease.

If she really made this girl anxious and she refused to continue, Lu Zhuxin would have to work hard to coax her back.

“System, I’ve discovered something happy,” Lu Zhuxin communicated with the System cheerfully.

[What is it?]

“The female lead I wrote has been successfully bent by me.”

“A truly straight girl wouldn’t have such a big reaction to same-sex touching.”

[Heh… are you sure it’s not that she’s bent but unaware of it?] The System directly tore down the act.

“Hehe, I never wrote any yuri-flavored settings.” Lu Zhuxin was confident. “In today’s climate, adding yuri to a harem novel is a major taboo, just like marrying a man in a yuri novel. You’d get crucified for it.”

[Heh heh… just because you didn’t write something means it doesn’t exist? Are you really that confident?]

What was with this dog System? Why did it like to contradict her so much?

The System and Lu Zhuxin argued about whether Song Shiyuan was naturally gay or not.

Song Shiyuan, who’d been labeled as naturally bent by the System, breathed a sigh of relief.

The little fox demon was very light. Carrying her on her back, she barely felt any weight.

Small, soft, and thin.

Song Shiyuan carried her back, a faint sweet fragrance constantly drifting to the tip of her nose.

This fragrance inexplicably calmed Song Shiyuan’s spirit.

She knew this was the little fox demon’s pheromones.

While Song Shiyuan was carrying the little fox demon, the little fox demon was also quietly soothing her emotions in her own way.

This little one, does she think I’m troubled by what just happened?

Song Shiyuan smiled inwardly.

She wouldn’t be troubled by such a thing, but she was indeed reflecting on what had happened earlier.

That six-tailed fox demon Hu Xian’er she’d encountered before, her behavior made Song Shiyuan feel somewhat off.

She clearly had hostility toward me, and she caught me with grounds for punishment, yet she didn’t strike heavily.

Song Shiyuan had felt strong killing intent from Hu Xian’er before. She wouldn’t have been surprised if that fox demon had directly tried to kill her.

However, in the end, she hadn’t done so.

She seemed to have concerns, deliberately holding back when she struck.

Is it because I’m the Fox Monarch’s female consort, so even the Fox Palace steward can’t casually punish me severely?

Thinking it over, Song Shiyuan felt this possibility was the greatest.

She couldn’t help but mock herself inwardly.

Looking at that fox demon’s performance today, it seemed that preventing me from approaching the Red Spring Pavilion was more important than punishing me.

What exactly was that Red Spring Pavilion?

Song Shiyuan pondered. Her thought of finding an opportunity to investigate the Red Spring Pavilion became even stronger.

How about… tonight?

Thinking of the little fox demon on her back, Song Shiyuan’s thoughts became more active.

Worth a try.

Before long, Song Shiyuan carried Lu Zhuxin back to her own courtyard.

The little fox demon’s residence was right across from hers.

However, Song Shiyuan had no intention of sending the little fox demon back.

“Little fox demon, stay at my place tonight,” Song Shiyuan said.

“Eh?!!” The little fox demon’s eyes widened, her face full of surprise. “S-Sister Shiyuan, that’s not appropriate.”

Has this girl finally realized her sexual orientation and wants to do this and that to me?!

“You were injured because of me,” Song Shiyuan said. “Come to my place so I can take care of you.”

“Sword cultivators focus on combat. During normal cultivation and sparring, injuries are common.”

“So I’m fairly experienced in treating external injuries.”

“If you stay at my place, I can help treat your wounds.”

Song Shiyuan seemed to think of something and looked at her, patiently explaining, “Don’t worry. You and I are both girls. I won’t do anything to you.”

“What can girls do together?” Song Shiyuan smiled.

There are many things girls can do together.

Lu Zhuxin complained internally.

This little sword cultivator was openly coaxing a naive, innocent little fox demon.

Did she really think she didn’t understand anything?

Scheming sword cultivator!

“That’s not what Axi means.” The little fox demon covered her small face and hurriedly said.

“If Sister Shiyuan doesn’t mind Axi, Axi is willing.”

Seeing the little fox demon didn’t object, Song Shiyuan took her small hand and entered her room.

Click. The door locked.
