She dared not let the conversation continue. If Xia Yan continued, she was afraid that she would really disregard everything and leave with him.
After all, the reasons she had given Xia Yan before were just castles in the air, like bubbles that would burst at the slightest touch. They were just ways of fooling herself.
No great demon would really care about these things.
For a great demon, its own strength is the guarantee of everything.
Palaces, power, and wealth are all things that Xia Yan, a powerful figure among great demons, can easily obtain.
As long as he reveals his name, countless little monsters will flock to him, submitting to Xia Yan and becoming his followers.
Xia Yan didn't have it simply because he was too lazy to organize it.
After all, if he becomes the leader of a force, he will naturally have to bear the corresponding responsibilities. The simplest requirement is to protect the little monsters who come seeking Xia Yan's protection.
The development of his power will inevitably require him to make many decisions.
In this situation, developing these things would actually be a burden for him.
There's no better way to enjoy life than being able to freeload and go wherever you want.
"I just saw her lying on the ground looking like she was about to starve to death on my way here, so I brought her along. Actually, this is the first time we've met."
Xia Yan turned to look at the girl, and their eyes met as the girl, who was busy shipping the couple, made eye contact.
Eyes as blue as the sky, sparkling with a clear folly.
She was wearing a distinctive red and white shrine maiden outfit. At about 1.4 meters tall, she looked exceptionally petite and charming. Her long, jet-black hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, and her hair was tied into a bow with red thread.
She wore a pair of exquisitely crafted straw sandals, her snow-white feet exposed without any restraint, adorned with red ropes that were particularly eye-catching.
He was wearing many strange accessories and had a large bag full of all sorts of random things on his back.
She has a delicate and charming appearance, but for some reason, she always seems a bit simple-minded and not very smart.
Seeing Xia Yan's gaze, the girl, caught shipping the couple, gave an embarrassed, silly smile and lowered her head to continue eating.
"Do you think I would believe such a thing!?" Upon hearing Xia Yan's explanation, Ling Yue Xian Ji gave him an expression that seemed to say, "I don't know you at all."
Xia Yan blinked innocently.
What he just said wasn't made up to deceive anyone.
Although there was a large element of lust involved, this naive girl really was someone he picked up on the roadside today.
At that moment, the silly girl was lying on the ground in a slumped position, and when she saw Xia Yan arrive, she pitifully begged him for food.
He claimed he hadn't eaten for three days.
Xia Yan thought she was quite pretty, and since he was just there to freeload, he decided to bring the girl along as well.
"Moreover, whether they were found or hidden away before, now that I am your legal wife, everyone from now on must be personally inspected by me!"
Lingyue Fairy said, revealing her true intentions.
This is one of the reasons why she suddenly steered the conversation towards that girl who only eats rice.
Although her tone was serious and she seemed to have an overbearing air about her, her eyes were somewhat unfocused.
Whether it's insisting on staying in the Heavenly Palace on the Cloud Top instead of wandering the world with Xia Yan, or bringing up the topic of that girl and putting on an arrogant attitude, there's only one reason in the end.
Lingyue Fairy felt a sense of crisis.
It wasn't a life-threatening situation, but rather an emotional crisis.
In fact, she was always well aware that her arrogant attitude and sharp-tongued behavior when she was with Xia Yan in the past could easily make people lose her favor.
But for some reason, even though I always try to control myself, I can never change when I see Xia Yan.
Therefore, Lingyue Xianji always felt anxious and uncertain whenever Xia Yan left.
She was afraid that if he left this time, he would never come back to find her.
The so-called guarding the palace and helping Xia Yan manage this foundation is nothing more than giving Xia Yan a reason to come back and visit more often.
After all, you got such a huge palace for free, with such a beautiful wife inside, and quite a few businesses under your control. You can't keep coming back only once a month like before, can you?
Ultimately, Fairy Lingyue didn't really care much about this palace.
After all, such external objects are far too easy for a great demon to obtain.
In this world, it's not that the great demons crave to be kings and dominate, but rather that the lesser demons yearn for the protection of the great demons.
Lingyue Fairy really wanted to go with Xia Yan.
Whether it was out of a woman's heart or the nature of a dog demon, she wished she could be with Xia Yan day and night.
But she didn't dare.
She was afraid that even if she spent every day with Xia Yan, she still wouldn't be able to get rid of her habit of saying one thing and meaning another, and of speaking with veiled barbs.
She was afraid that her arrogance and sharp tongue would annoy Xia Yan and cause her to drift further and further away from him.
Lingyue Fairy did not have the idea of possessing Xia Yan exclusively, but if Xia Yan became increasingly intimate with other women because of her personality, she was afraid she would not be able to bear it.
To put it bluntly, it's a lack of security.
After all, pride often leads to defeat, not to mention that she herself is a dog demon.
Rather than being together every day but gradually drifting apart, she would rather endure the loneliness of separation.
At least we can still look forward to the joy of reunion in our hearts.
Chapter 284 Arrogance Never Fades
'Is this what tsundere is? I love it...'
Looking at Lingyue Xianji lying in his arms, her pretty face unusually serious, seemingly aloof and elegant, but with a conflicted and tender heart, Xia Yan secretly read her thoughts and his lips curled up wildly, revealing a wicked smile like that of a dragon king.
To be honest, Lingyue Xianji's concerns were not without merit.
If it were Xia Yan before today, that kind of situation might really have occurred.
After all, people need feedback.
If you don't know what the other person is really thinking, you'll always hear their harsh words, their belittling of you, and their repeated denials of your feelings for each other.
One or two times, you can comfort yourself by saying that being tsundere is also a cute trait.
If this happens too often, even if you think the other person is just being aloof and know they actually care about you, you'll still inevitably feel annoyed.
However, after returning from the [space], all these problems no longer exist!
When you can always understand the other person's true feelings, no matter how arrogant they are, even if all they show on the outside is "arrogance" and not "cuteness," they are still adorable.
Watching the other person say such hypocritical things, spewing venomous words while secretly regretting it.
He even imagined how he should apologize later, but his face remained calm and he pretended not to care, stubbornly sticking to his guns.
The more stubborn they were, the more intense their guilt and self-blame became.
This feeling is just too adorable; just thinking about it makes Xia Yan feel irresistible.
Xia Yan watched the fun unfold without making a sound, but Ling Yue Xian Ji, who didn't get a response from Xia Yan, began to panic.
Why aren't you saying anything...
Did I mess it up again...?
Is she angry with me?!
Was the request just now too unreasonable...?
Honestly! Why do you have to say it like that? You clearly don't think that way, so why not be more honest?
We just made the wedding arrangements, and we haven't even had the Mikazuki no Yomochi yet!
No wonder, normally speaking, even if someone finds another wife outside, they have no obligation to tell me, let alone let me see her...
I should apologize after all. I should tell Xia Yanjun that I was just joking before, and that he just needs to remember to come back and visit me more often.
"Heh~, you can't even meet such a small request? All you ever do is spout vulgar nonsense to fool girls. Now that you've finished eating, take that stupid woman and get out of here." Lingyue Fairy chuckled, speaking in her distinctive tone.
Huh—what am I saying?!?!?
This is a complete disaster! What on earth happened today?! They never used to be aggressive or say things like that before!
Is it jealousy?! Am I jealous of that woman?!
In the end, it's all Xia Yan's fault! Why did he bring a woman here to freeload?!
Seriously, what are we going to do now...?
Calm down. We've already made a vow and are engaged. Even if Xia Yan is really angry, he'll be back soon, right?
He'll come back next month at least to fulfill our engagement...
Oh right! Anyway, he's always been a bit lewd and likes to get handsy. If I satisfy him properly, he won't be angry with me anymore!
It's perfectly normal for couples to have sex; it's an obligation they should fulfill, and there's no need to feel ashamed about it.
Looking at Ling Yue Xianji, who remained outwardly aloof and stubbornly defiant, but inwardly had already conjured up a long, dramatic tale of chasing after her husband, Xia Yan had only one thought in his mind.
happy.
Is this what tsundere is like? I love it!
No, usually, people who are arrogant feel great when they are arrogant, and they only regret it when they lose it.
Is Lingyue Xianji the kind of person who knows she's a tsundere and understands her true feelings?
Thinking about it this way, I suddenly love it even more!
"Lingyue-chan~" Xia Yan said in a lighthearted tone, uttering the nickname he had given Lingyue Fairy.
"What is it?" Fairy Lingyue calmly replied.
"Lingyue-chan is so cute~"
Looking at Lingyue Fairy, whose heart was still screaming and churning inside, but who remained outwardly calm and composed, her words and actions as aloof as an immortal untouched by worldly affairs, Xia Yan gently pinched her chin and slowly leaned down...
At this moment, Lingyue Xianji's pupils dilated violently.
My heart rate soared, my body temperature skyrocketed, my cheeks turned bright red, even the tips of my ears turned rosy, and I almost forgot how to breathe.
She could only watch helplessly as Xia Yan drew closer and closer to her, and then...
