My Wife Is A Sword Immortal-Chapter 114 - 99 Scholar and Fox Demon

Chapter 114: Chapter 99 Scholar and Fox Demon

The night was somewhat noisy tonight.

If the night at the Lin family’s estate in Lanxi could be likened to a serene girl in white,

then the night within Liangjing City was like a lively bride who had just changed into her wedding dress.

But the liveliness belonged to the outside world.

Beside the window, the two of them felt as though they had returned to that night in Zhongnan Country, where a river of stars flowed through the room.

“Was it done by your people?”

The young Fox Demon turned her head and gazed at Zhao Rong.

She shook her head.

Zhao Rong immediately said,

“It’s that Great Demon your people want you to marry.”

This time, he spoke in a declarative tone.

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao’s pupils contracted slightly. She bit her lip, buried her face between her knees, revealing only a pair of stunningly beautiful fox eyes.

Her eyes sparkled as she looked at the young Confucian Scholar in front of her.

How could he be so smart, and Xiaoxiao so foolish, can they still be… good friends? Xiaoxiao is bullied by him every day.

Zhao Rong sighed softly. The foolish girl had mentioned this to him casually once before.

She had proudly said then that she had plucked up the courage to flee from her marriage and descend the mountain, just like the tragic heroine in stories of scholars and beauties who defied their parents’ and matchmakers’ arrangements.

Back then, he sincerely said, “Is this Su Huxian? Truly impressive, my apologies…”

But he had still wondered how this lazy, foolish girl dared to pluck up courage to run down the mountain by herself.

If it weren’t for some forceful change pushing her forward, he figured she would probably have happily remained in place, contentedly clinging to what she already had.

So it turned out.

Someone had taken away something she cherished.

Zhao Rong’s heart softened, but he soon turned to look out the window.

“Sorrow is tough, but it will eventually pass.”

Su Xiaoxiao stared unblinkingly at him.

This bad person, his heart must be in even more pain, right? Liu Sanbian and his relationship was so good, they drank together daily… How could he not be sad? Maybe I’ve misunderstood him a bit.

Great-grandmother said, a man must be strong when a woman is vulnerable.

When Xiaoxiao was sad, he must have thought the same, right?

Great-grandmother also said that men have their moments of vulnerability too, and when that time comes, it’s up to the woman to be strong and provide support.

Has this bad person ever had a moment of vulnerability?

The young Fox Demon studied Zhao Rong’s profile, her thoughts adrift.

After a long while.

Su Xiaoxiao sniffled, “Zhao Rong, I’m hungry~”

Her voice was soft and whiny, drawn out with a cry.

Like a little kitten that had run away from home for half the day, returned on its own, famished and plaintively waiting to be fed.

Zhao Rong slowly turned his head, slightly stunned, then smiled, “I knew it, you glutton. I told you to eat more at dinner but you didn’t, and now you cry hungry in the middle of the night. Isn’t this tormenting? Luckily this young master is prescient…”

Zhao Rong teased as he handed over the pastries he had bought when he had gone out earlier in the evening to the eagerly waiting “little kitten.”

He suddenly felt like he was playing the role of both father and mother.

Su Xiaoxiao happily took them, not even uttering a thank you, and started eating as if it was her absolute right.

Zhao Rong, supporting his head with his hand, watched her with a light laugh.

Seeing her wolf down the food, he felt somewhat helpless.

“Eat slowly, don’t swallow your tongue.”

“Huh?”

“Little kitten” Su Xiaoxiao paused her nibbling, tilted her head slightly, and stared blankly at Zhao Rong.

At that moment, her lips curled up, her mouth slightly open, revealing a row of pearly teeth and the not-yet-chewed milky-colored pastry inside.

“Huh? Zhao Rong, what did you say?”

Zhao Rong blinked.

His gaze shifted upward, observing the pure face and naive expression of the little fox demon, feeling somewhat guilty.

Zhao Rong cleared his throat and averted his gaze, “It’s okay, eat slowly.”

“Mm, mm-mm!”

After gobbling up the food like a whirlwind, Su Xiaoxiao licked her “paws” contentedly, leaned back against the chair, and smacked her lips.

Seeing that it was about time, Zhao Rong slightly raised his eyebrows, ready to take his leave, as this was Su Xiaoxiao’s room.

But before he could speak, Su Xiaoxiao’s voice had already sounded.

Her face full of curiosity, “Zhao Rong, how did you guess?”

Zhao Rong was startled, then understood that she was referring to the incident just now.

Zhao Rong curled his lips.

“Such a silly little fox demon, whatever little schemes you have in your heart, this master can see through them in a glance, is there even a need to guess? Are you underestimating my intelligence, or are you completely unaware of your own silliness?”

The latter half of the sentence took a while for the little fox demon to process in her head.

Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened, her delicate nose wrinkled, as she straightened up and leaned forward.

She was dressed in moon-white male attire…

Zhao Rong was about to speak again when he suddenly caught a glimpse of something inadvertently.

Tsk.

What’s so great about this little girl…

He unconsciously peeked again.

No, can’t look anymore, this is the last time…

Su Xiaoxiao raised her pink fist, ready to punch Zhao Rong.

Just seeing him zoning out for no apparent reason, she was a bit puzzled, but after looking at Zhao Rong’s face, her eyes lit up.

She loosened her little fist, reached forward with her right hand, and pinched the nose of the absent-minded Confucian Scholar in front of her.

“Zhao Rong, why is your nose so big? Giggles.”

The little fox demon’s eyes curled into crescents, filled with the image of Zhao Rong getting his nose pinched.

“Zhao Rong, you look so ugly like this, giggle—”

As Zhao Rong had been sneakily glancing around, being pinched by her suddenly, he didn’t react immediately, stumbled forward, stood up, bent forward and looked up as Su Xiaoxiao led him by the hand.

“Zhao Rong Zhao Rong, like a little bull.”

“Stop pinching, let go! Stop pinching!”

“Not letting go, not letting go, giggles.”

The little fox demon not only didn’t let go but also started humming a song.

Out of urgency, Zhao Rong used one hand to stabilize himself on the table and lifted the other hand to grab Su Xiaoxiao’s wrist.

Su Xiaoxiao, seldom having a chance to bully the bad guy in front of her, was unwilling to stop. Moreover, with her cultivation as a second realm member of the Demon Race, she was naturally strong. In a rush of emotions, she clenched her silver teeth and exerted force with her right hand, which Zhao Rong had grabbed…

“Clang!”

“Crack!”

“Splash!!”

After a tumble of bodies and chairs falling over,

the room suddenly became quiet.

Slowly.

Still no sound was heard.

An eerie silence began to pervade the air.
