Demoness, where are you Fleeing to?
Chapter 297 - 252: Fox Demon?_1

Chapter 297: Chapter 252: Fox Demon?_1

When Li Xuan regained consciousness, he found his body tingling all over, with slight twitching in some places, as though he had undertaken some extreme physical exercise.

When he opened his eyes, he found himself lying on a strange bed. Jiang Hanyun was sitting on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at him with her head lowered, whispering to herself, "——He doesn’t appear to be that charming, how is it that he’s so adept at bewitching women?"

"Clear this up, how did I bewitch women?" Li Xuan felt uncomfortable. He gave Jiang Hanyun a stern look, "And, why are you staring at me like that? You’re too close, is there something on my face?"

It was only after he finished speaking that he noticed Jiang Hanyun’s breath smelled fragrant.

Unfortunately, the silver-armoured girl’s face immediately flushed. She quickly distanced herself from him, "Why did you have to wake up just now? Without any prior warning."

After hearing her comment, Li Xuan couldn’t help but retort, "Xiaowei, do you usually alert others when you wake up from sleep? I wish I had such skills."

He then scanned his surroundings, "Am I at your house? Why didn’t they take me home?"

But shortly afterwards, Li Xuan remembered fragments of the moments before he passed out, and tensed up immediately.

That’s right. He had to stay in the Jiang estate for three months, or else he would face ’impotence’ in the future.

"This is a guest room in our family’s side courtyard. Auntie Li brought all your clothes over. For the next three months, you will have to stay here,"

Jiang Hanyun said as she brought a bowl of freshly brewed medicine to Li Xuan, "This is a concoction my father made specifically for revitalizing Yuan Qi. You’ve exhausted a significant amount of your life force, you need to recuperate well to make up for the loss. Can you sit up and drink it yourself?"

Li Xuan attempted to sit up, but found himself still weak and unable to move. He looked helplessly at Jiang Hanyun, "Xiaowei, what do you think?"

Jiang Hanyun made a reluctant ’tsk’ sound, then ladled out a spoonful of the medicinal soup, blew on it to cool it down, then held it up to Li Xuan’s lips, "Be careful, the medicine was just brewed, it’s a bit hot."

Seeing her with her hair pulled back to one side, moving so delicately and cautiously, stirred emotions within Li Xuan. Jiang Hanyun, at this moment, was the epitome of femininity. Her exquisitely beautiful face was even more captivating under the candlelight.

After finishing a bowl of medicinal soup, Li Xuan’s stomach let out a series of rumbling sounds, and he felt a serious pang of hunger.

Li Xuan knew this was due to a major depletion of his body’s energy. In his previous duel at the Wenxin House, his Great Rectitude was pouring out without restraint, causing great loss to his Primordial Spirit.

Even though ’Hao Qi’ is a form of spiritual energy, it originates from the physical body.

After the battle, his Primordial Spirit certainly needed replenishment from his bodily energy.

Li Xuan was so hungry he could barely stand. He looked pitifully at Jiang Hanyun, who responded plainly, "My father had anticipated this. I cooked ’Sanyuan Dragon-Turtle Soup’ for you. He has just caught a Dragon Alligator and a Xuan Turtle, which are very nutritious. I’ll serve it to you now."

Li Xuan couldn’t help but ask, "Didn’t I ask Uncle Jiang to go easy on the Turtles the last time I greeted him?"

"You were referring to the Origin Turtle at the time, but now he’s caught a Xuan Turtle not an Origin Turtle, they are different species. He has given you much respect. In order to nourish your body, my father has wreaked havoc up and down the Yangtze River. Many big demons from Turtle and Alligator Clans came to the Liudao Division to complain. They said they would cause major flooding along the Yangtze River if my father doesn’t stop."

Jiang Hanyun said this as she walked out of the room. She returned shortly with a large bowl of meat soup and began to delicately feed Li Xuan.

Li Xuan found the situation unusual. He had never seen Jiang Hanyun act so tenderly towards him. She was like a servant girl attending to her master, or like a wife caring for her ill husband, catering to his every need.

After finishing the meat soup, he glanced at her and tried to probe further, "I am thirsty and would like some water. Could you fetch me a cup, Xiaowei?"

Jiang Hanyun actually brought him a cup of water and even helped him drink it meticulously.

So, Li Xuan pushed onwards relentlessly on his path to self-destruction, "Oh, my shoulder feels really sore. Hanyun, can you rub it for me——No, my thighs are also aching. Could you please give it a rub too? Hmm~ particularly the inside of my thighs, give it a squeeze. Remember, be gentle."

Jiang Hanyun shot him a sideways glare, fire flashing in her eyes.

But she then remembered what Yue Qianqian and Tingtian Ao had told her about Li Xuan possibly having limited time left, and how his recent duel in the academy might have reduced his lifespan significantly. She, therefore, swallowed her anger.

But Li Xuan had no intention of backing off, "I want to eat some fruit. How about some grapes? Could you peel them for me, Yun? Remove the seeds too."

The fun thing was that Jiang Hanyun’s irritated but unable to vent expression was irresistibly cute. It made him more eager to tease her.

As a result, Jiang Hanyun’s lips twitched, and her face turned red.

What did this guy just call her? Yun? This was truly overstepping the boundaries! He also wanted her to peel grapes? Even her father never treated her like this.

However, in the end, she still held back, thinking about the powerful ’backer’ standing behind this guy, the ’Demon King’.

"The taste is great, especially the lingering scent from your hands."

Li Xuan, eating the grapes peeled by Jiang Hanyun, was even more smug. He thought that his life in the coming days would be quite comfortable and not at all boring.

"Isn’t it the Hour of Mao now? Don’t you need to report to work, Xiaowei?"

Jiang Hanyun coldly glared at him, "Are you bothered? I took a leave of absence, I will be at home for the next few days."

In fact, it was her mother who made a personal trip to the Liudao Division and forcefully requested a leave for her, implying that she should take good care of Li Xuan at home for the next few days.

Just at this moment, she saw Li Xuan suddenly frown, his face turning strange. Jiang Hanyun’s heart tightened immediately: "What’s wrong again?"

Li Xuan glanced at her, his voice hesitating for the first time: "It’s all your fault, I’ve drunk too much water."

"Drunk too much water?" Jiang Hanyun was initially confused, then her anger welled up, and she instinctively swung her small fist: "Then hold it back! If you continue to push your luck, believe it or not, I’ll beat you half paralyzed?"

A martial cultivator of the fourth house level can certainly endure for a day or two. She estimates that Li Xuan can move around after a day of rest at most.

But just as Jiang Hanyun was raising her hand, the curtain was lifted, and Lady Jiang appeared at the entrance with a teacup in her hand and a stern face: "Jiang Hanyun! Who are you trying to beat? Half paralyzed? You’re quite angry!"

Jiang Hanyun’s delicate body stiffened slightly. She quickly lowered her hand and said sheepishly: "No, I’m just trying to scare him. He’s injured now, how could I really hit him?"

"That’s not acceptable either. Is this how a girl should talk? If Lady Li sees it, she will think that my Jiang Family has not taught you well."

Lady Jiang snorted, placed the teacup on the table, and said to Li Xuan with a warm smile: "Xuan, this is Jinsi Xueyan Soup, from your uncle’s treasure. Not only can it replenish your Life Element, but it can also prolong your life. Drink it while it’s hot later. Besides, you can’t move now. Whatever you need, just tell Hanyun. Don’t hold back. In this house, she can’t overstep her boundaries!"

While she was glaring at Jiang Hanyun, her tone was fierce: "Hanyun, if you dare to act recklessly again, beware of our family law!"

Li Xuan felt complicated in front of her.

He felt guilty about Lady Jiang’s meticulous care in the past. After setting his heart with Xue Yunrou now, he becomes more uneasy.

Li Xuan clearly knew what his aunt was thinking, but the problem was that his feelings for Yunrou could no longer be severed.

When Lady Jiang left, Jiang Hanyun’s face hardened.

Just when Li Xuan thought that she was about to settle the accounts after autumn, Jiang Hanyun asked with a serious gaze: "Li Xuan! I’m asking you, are you serious about your cousin Yunrou?"

"Of course, I couldn’t be more serious." Li Xuan was equally solemn: "She has treated me so kindly, if I still betray her, I wouldn’t be a human being."

After hearing this, Jiang Hanyun’s eyes were somewhat complicated, admiring, relaxed, and a slight but hard-to-detect disappointment. She looked out the window: "Then you must treat Yunrou better! Since her father passed away when she was a child, and her elder brother is always critically ill, she has developed an extremely strong personality. Yet I can see that she really hopes for a man like a father or a brother, who can protect her from the wind and rain.

In short, if you dare to treat her badly or to make her sad in the future, I will never let you go. As for mother’s side, there is no need to worry too much. I’ll handle it myself."

Li Xuan was a little surprised and then relieved. His boss was not really a fool. Many times she just didn’t think about it.

First, he breathed a sigh of relief, then felt a sense of loss, followed by a sense of confusion, and asked: "Speaking about this, it’s actually been bothering me. Why your mother insists on forcing you into blind dates and marriage? Considering the condition of the high-ranking officer, wouldn’t it be okay to wait a few more years? Besides, I find your Uncle Jiang to be quite open-minded."

If it is for the continuity of the family line, then the Jiang family should seek a son-in-law.

Jiang Hanyun hesitated slightly after hearing this and then beckoned to call little Lei, the Four-Tailed Spirit Fox, from her sleeve to her shoulder.

"This has to do with an old incident of mine. I was severely injured in my childhood due to a family incident, almost to the point of death. Even my father couldn’t save me. So he sought help from taoist techniques, letting me form a symbiotic spirit contract with little Lei, who has the bloodline of Baize, which saved my life."

Li Xuan was stunned after hearing it and looked doubtful: "This symbiotic Spirit Contract, are there any hidden dangers? Would you have to get married anyway?"

Could it be that she will die when she reaches a certain age?

"It’s not as serious as you think," Jiang Hanyun noticed Li Xuan’s expression and laughed: "It’s because after the symbiosis, little Lei’s bloodline and demon element will affect me, causing my body constitution to transition to a half-demon. During this process, only another extremely close person can reverse it and help stabilize my human body through a Secret Technique similar to Dual Cultivation."

Half-demon?

Li Xuan couldn’t help blinking in surprise.

— So his commander would one day transform into a fox-spirit?

Thinking about Jiang Hanyun transforming into a fox, he felt a surge of heat in a certain part of his body.

Normally, Li Xuan would be thrilled instead of shocked. But at this moment he was too stunned, staring at Jiang Hanyun in a daze.

"— I used to care about this a lot, but now I’ve moved on. Whether I become a half-demon doesn’t affect me in any way. The Liudao Division doesn’t have such concerns. My future lies only in the heavenly level. People’s opinions to me are just fleeting clouds."

Jiang Hanyun had a carefree expression while smiling with a tinge of sadness: "However, my parents couldn’t accept this. They feel they owe me, they don’t want their daughter to become half a fox, a half-demon. Especially my mother, she thinks that the grave injury I got when I was a child was her fault."

Upon hearing this, Li Xuan’s face relaxed. So that’s how it is, it’s no wonder Lady Jiang is so eager to marry off her daughter, while Jiang Hanyun herself doesn’t care about the marriage.

At this moment, he looked at Jiang Hanyun differently, with a slight admiration in his eyes.

It’s indeed the high-ranking officer! This girl is really tough—
