Chapter 931: Chapter 578: Unfamiliar

Lady Wan’s estate with four courtyards was not very large, without the luxury of spare space to build separate dwellings for guests; merely six guest rooms were all concentrated in this side courtyard.

The silhouette of the woman in plain clothes was slender and graceful; her serene eyebrows and eyes held a charming allure, alluring yet not demonic. She walked through the archway of the side courtyard, her footsteps on the stone pavement seemingly causing lotuses to blossom with each step.

Xu Yuan pushed the door open and came out, just in time to be met by her gaze as she looked up.

In the moment their eyes met, like peach blossoms over water, Xu Yuan felt as if he were in a forest witnessing a sky filled with fluttering, colorful petals.

The illusion vanished abruptly, and Xu Yuan took a slight, cold breath as he remembered the visual illusion just now.

Such a fierce charm.

As the possessor of the Charming God Dao Domain, he was clear that he hadn’t fallen into an Illusionary Realm.

The cherry blossom illusion that appeared was more of a subjective filter.

Like how an ordinary person encountering their beloved, the brain would automatically and infinitely beautify the other’s visage.

A very curious feeling.

However, having a beauty-enhancing filter as an effect was probably just her passive skill at the moment.

The woman in plain clothes seemed to be accustomed to the way others looked at her. She gave a slight nod to indicate her acknowledgement and then paid no more attention to Xu Yuan as she went to her own chamber.

Observing Su Jinxuan’s actions, Xu Yuan pondered briefly, then suddenly called out to her:

"Maiden, hello."

"...."

With a slight furrow in her brows, she stopped in her tracks and looked back with her eyes, Su Jinxuan’s expression considerably cold, but still unable to conceal the beguiling charm between her eyebrows and eyes as she stared at Xu Yuan:

"Do you need something, sir?"

This time, with his guard up, Xu Yuan did not experience that kind of filtering illusion again, and he jokingly remarked with a smile:

"Your allure seems natural; a single glance feels like an eternity, carelessness could lead to one sinking into it. Maiden, you truly possess a remarkable technique."

"....." Su Jinxuan remained silent, gazing indifferently.

"....." Xu Yuan was a bit surprised.

His words were both a compliment and an implication. There should be some kind of reaction.

However, he soon reasoned it out.

During the time she had been in hiding, there must have been many who used such approaches to strike up a conversation. Often seen, it naturally becomes immune.

As the thought passed, Xu Yuan’s voice changed slightly, becoming earnest as he said:

"Maiden, you... must be an Enchantress Divine Physique, right?"

Su Jinxuan furrowed her brows slightly but responded this time, nodding her head a bit, still with a cold tone:

"Yes, the earlier rudeness was not intentional. Is there something else?"

Seeing her cold reaction, Xu Yuan also unconsciously raised an eyebrow, puzzled, and courteously clasped his hands, saying:

"I heard from Lady Wan that there was another guest dwelling here whom I had not seen, and out of curiosity, when I finally meet you today, I’m greeted by such a beauty."

"Now you have seen."

The Little Demon, who had not been seen for a long time, was like a porcupine, giving a brief response and then politely bowing:

"Sir, I am feeling a bit unwell, so I must take my leave first."

With that said, she did not wait for Xu Yuan to respond, turned her head, pushed open her room, and with a bang, the door closed behind her.

"....."

Sunlight cascaded down like a waterfall,

The beauty had departed, and Xu Yuan stood frozen in the courtyard for a moment, his indifferent eyes gradually darkening.

Something was wrong.

It wasn’t strange for Su Jinxuan to maintain a cold facade; with her constitution, being too enthusiastic could easily lead to unnecessary troubles.

But the issue was,

During their conversation, he had been speaking his true feelings.

...

...

...

As the sun rose, the warm red sunlight spread over the entire estate, yet the inner chamber and rear hall remained as dark as a rainy day.

An Eight Immortals Table stood at the center of the hall, with several ancient chairs beside it, bearing traces of antiquity.

A slender woman in coarse linen clothes sat there, fine tendrils of blood-red patterns extending from under her feet, spreading like a spiderweb across the entire inner chamber, flickering and twisting, mysterious and mesmerizing.

Everything around was very quiet, the pregnant woman gently stroked her slightly protruding belly, her features obscured in darkness and indistinct, but at this moment, her eyes should bear a hint of maternal love.

As if a moment, as if eternity.

A young boy’s tender voice unexpectedly broke the silence within the room, with a hint of barely discernible excitement, he crisply said:

"Mommy, Su is back."

The young woman continued to caress her belly, her voice gentle and pleasant:

"Mommy knows, what about it?"

The tender voice carried a touch of grievance:

"I thought Su wouldn’t come back."

The young woman’s slender fingertips gently tapped her belly, her voice tinged with a hint of amusement:

"How could Su possibly not come? Didn’t she say she liked you very much before?"

Hearing this, the child seemed somewhat happy, his tender laughter echoing softly:

"I thought I had made her angry last time... Su is really nice indeed."

The young woman’s tone was matter-of-fact, with a bit of chiding:

"Whose fault is it that you, silly billy, were so impatient last time? Of course, Su would have been frightened, but it’s also that strange woman’s fault. Who would have known that she could remain completely unaffected by us, and even bewitch Su?"

"Oh... I understand now."

The boy quietly responded, his voice carrying a sense of anticipation:

"Mommy, if I... if I can hold back, then I should be able to eat Su this time, right?"

"Of course, you can."

The conversation, as casual as regular chatter, the young woman naturally replied: "Su likes you so much, Nuonuo, she would certainly be willing."

The boy’s voice was tinged with an impatient excitement:

"Then today..."

"Not today."

"Tomorrow..."

"Tomorrow won’t work either." The young woman’s interrupting voice was calm and measured.

The boy felt somewhat dejected and unwilling:

"Mommy, haven’t you prepared everything already?"

Speaking of this, the boy seemed to recall something, his tender voice now carrying a thick loathing:

"Is it because of that wretched woman who almost hurt you?"

The young woman gently shook her head, her voice very soft:

"Of course not, that woman has run off, she probably won’t dare to come back."

The boy was silent for a moment, then his voice suddenly became excited again:

"So, Mommy, you want those two new sisters and brother to be eaten by me, right?"

"Nuonuo!"

Mentioning those three, the young woman’s voice carried a touch of sternness:

"Mommy has already told you, don’t talk like that again!"

The suddenly stern voice sank the boy into silence, and after a while, he spoke again in a subdued and aggrieved tone:

"Why... they should be happy to be eaten by me, right? That’s how it was with all those uncles and aunts before..."

The young woman sighed softly, caressing her belly, her words earnest:

"Nuonuo, that gentleman, he seems to be of the same kind as Mommy."

"Ah?" The boy.

The young woman’s voice was soft as she asked:

"Nuonuo, during our last encounter, could you see that gentleman’s face clearly?"

"Face... I.. I don’t remember."

"Mommy’s the same, I can’t see that gentleman’s face clearly either, so I can’t make him grow fond of you, Nuonuo."

"...."

Hearing this, the boy’s tone lost its earlier assertiveness, now carrying a hint of fearful panic:

"Then.. what do we do? Mommy, you’re so weak right now, and this brother is so dangerous. Couldn’t you have just asked him to leave that day?"

"We must always try."

The young woman’s eyes hidden in the darkness carried a trace of indistinct greed and affection:

"If that gentleman grows fond of you, Nuonuo, then you can eat him and all these sisters together...

"Then Nuonuo would be able to be truly born."
