A Street Ruffian and an Unreasonable Little Woman

Arriving at Su Jinxuan's room, Lu Yang gently knocked on the door, and soon he heard footsteps coming from inside.

The door didn't open, but Su Jinxuan's voice came from inside. "Lu Yang, what's wrong?"

Lu Yang chuckled and said, "Let's see your cultivation progress. Did you fully understand what I told you yesterday?"

Su Jinxuan's voice followed. "You've almost grasped the essence."

Lu Yang raised his eyebrows. "Shall we continue with the explanation?"

There was a brief silence inside the door, then the door opened, and Su Jinxuan stood inside.

Today, she wasn't wearing a gorgeous golden phoenix-patterned robe, but a simple, loose white dress, which made her look more gentle and charming than her usual dignified and sharp demeanor.

She looked at Lu Yang, her slender phoenix eyes darting around, and said softly, "Come in."

Lu Yang looked at Su Jinxuan, a smile appearing on his face, and sighed softly, "This is the first time I've seen you dressed like this, Jinxuan. It's completely different from your usual style, but... you're still beautiful."

Su Jinxuan's eyes flickered as she glanced at Lu Yang, her tone stiff as she said, "... smooth-tongued."

However, Lu Yang could still detect a hint of lightness in his voice.

Lu Yang chuckled and stepped into the room. Su Jinxuan glanced at Lu Yang's room, saw that the lights were dim, then looked away and closed the door.

Watching Lu Yang sit down on the edge of the bed with practiced ease, Su Jinxuan felt helpless and went over to ask, "It's so late, aren't you going to keep your girlfriends company?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang couldn't help but laugh and say, "What's wrong? Are you worried they'll think you stole me away?"

Su Jinxuan paused, then said irritably, "I was just asking, don't overthink it."

Lu Yang explained softly, "They cultivated together all night last night, they're too tired, let them rest tonight."

Even the worldly-wise Su Jinxuan felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this, her face flushing slightly. She glanced at Lu Yang and said, "There's no need to tell me about something like this."

Lu Yang looked completely innocent. "Didn't you ask me why I didn't go with them?"

Su Jinxuan fell silent and quietly sat down on the prayer mat.

Seeing this, Lu Yang shamelessly walked over and sat down next to Su Jinxuan.

Su Jinxuan glanced at Lu Yang: "What are you doing leaning closer?"

Lu Yang chuckled, "Show me your hand, let me check your Spiritual Qi."

Su Jinxuan pursed her red lips and silently reached out her hand.

Lu Yang carefully sensed Su Jinxuan's Spiritual Qi circulation and nodded in satisfaction. "It's indeed much better than yesterday; she's made rapid progress."

Su Jinxuan raised her long, slender eyebrows, a hint of pride appearing on her pretty face. "My natural talent is already quite good, and I also have the Dao Comprehension Tea to help me."

She paused, then looked at Lu Yang and said, "Besides, you've put in so much effort. If I don't make any progress, wouldn't I be letting you down?"

Seeing Su Jinxuan's serious expression and sincere tone, Lu Yang's heart fluttered. He grabbed Su Jinxuan's hand and pulled Su Jinxuan into his arms unexpectedly.

Before Su Jinxuan could react, her slender waist was already embraced by Lu Yang, and she was sitting in his arms, enveloped by his cool and warm breath.

She froze for a moment, then struggled to her feet. "Lu Yang! What are you going to do now?"

Everything that happened last night has left her in a complete daze. Just now, she was even a little hesitant to open the door, unsure how to face Lu Yang.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yang went even further, pulling her directly into his arms.

Feeling the warmth behind her, Su Jinxuan felt a sense of panic for the first time.

She had cultivated the Dao for many years, spending hundreds of years in seclusion to comprehend its mysteries. In her daily life, she was dignified, aloof, and self-reliant. How could she have ever gotten so close to a male cultivator?

This was the first time she had ever been held in a man's arms like this!

Moreover, this person is Lu Yang, who has thrown her heart into turmoil!

She just wanted to break free as soon as possible, otherwise she was afraid she wouldn't be able to control herself and would let him bully her at will.

However, Lu Yang wrapped his arms around her slender waist, preventing her from using too much force so as not to hurt Lu Yang.

Lu Yang rested his chin on Su Jinxuan's shoulder, gently leaned close to her neck and took a sniff; the fragrance was delightful.

Su Jinxuan trembled slightly when Lu Yang smelled her, her neck flushed pink, and goosebumps rose on her skin.

Her breathing quickened, and she said with a hint of embarrassment and anger, "Lu Yang! You've been so disrespectful to me, I'm angry!"

Looking at Su Jinxuan's pretty face, which showed a hint of embarrassment and annoyance, Lu Yang chuckled and said, "You can break free."

Upon hearing this, Su Jinxuan glanced at Lu Yang with a hint of resentment.

However, when she met Lu Yang's deep eyes, which seemed to hold the stars, Su Jinxuan saw her own reflection in them, a shyness she had never seen before.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she silently looked away, saying somewhat irritably, "What if you hurt yourself while you're holding me?"

Lu Yang said pitifully, "What's the big deal? It's just an injury. I'll take it, I won't blame you."

Su Jinxuan: "..."

She was both annoyed and amused by Lu Yang's helpless expression. After struggling a couple more times, seeing that Lu Yang wouldn't let go, she whispered, "You're such a scoundrel!"

Lu Yang said earnestly, "Jinxuan misunderstood me. I just felt that holding you like this would make it easier for me to guide you in circulating your Cultivation Method using Spiritual Qi, and it would also benefit your comprehension of the Cultivation Method!"

Seeing Lu Yang's righteous and indignant demeanor, Su Jinxuan's chest heaved twice, her voice tinged with a hint of gritted teeth. "... Should I thank you?"

Lu Yang said smugly, "No need to be polite. Of course, if you really want to thank me, just give me a kiss. Ouch..."

As soon as Lu Yang finished speaking, he felt a sharp pain in his waist. He glanced down and saw Su Jinxuan twisting the flesh around his waist.

Lu Yang was speechless, his face darkening. "Jinxuan, you're a Nascent Soul True Lord, why are you acting like a little woman, being so petty?"

Su Jinxuan smiled slightly, gave a soft snort, and said, "If our young master Lu can be a street rogue, why can't I, Su Jinxuan, be an unreasonable little woman?"

Seeing Su Jinxuan's haughty smile, which resembled that of a young girl, Lu Yang was stunned.

This was the first time Lu Yang had ever seen Su Jinxuan, who was usually so dignified and aloof, appear so youthful.

Seeing Lu Yang staring blankly at her, Su Jinxuan realized what she had done, and her heart sank.

Su Jinxuan... what are you doing?!

Are you being affectionate with Lu Yang?

You are his supreme elder!

You're not a little girl anymore!

As Su Jinxuan's thoughts were racing, she suddenly felt a warm breath on her face. The next moment, she felt herself being held tighter and her red lips were kissed.

Su Jinxuan's eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings, and then she silently closed her eyes.

A moment later, Su Jinxuan was suddenly lifted into the air and picked up by Lu Yang.

Seeing Lu Yang walk towards the bed, Su Jinxuan immediately understood. A hint of panic appeared on her usually dignified face as she exclaimed, "Wait! Wait! Weren't you supposed to instruct me on Cultivation Method?!"

Lu Yang looked at Su Jinxuan and chuckled, "Jinxuan, you've cultivated more than just the 'Golden Radiance Sword Canon,' haven't you? How's your cultivation of the 'Hidden Return Dragon and Phoenix Secret Canon' coming along? Perhaps I could offer you some guidance."

Su Jinxuan's eyes widened. "????"
