Spring and Autumn (V)

Sandy knew the mating season of the nine-tailed fox clan. After reaching adulthood, the mating season occurs once a year and lasts for a full month. The lust and love for the partner will reach the extreme.

The nine-tailed foxes will gradually start families after reaching adulthood, and most of them will have families before they are in their twenties. After that, they no longer have to endure the estrus period alive, but can spend it in caves with their Taoist partners.

But Su Xuan never got married after he became an adult, and he just survived every year for all these years. As a demon cultivator in the Mahayana realm, he had to endure the estrus period for more than a hundred years, a whole month. Sang Dai felt horrified just thinking about it.

"Su, Su Xuan, please let me go first, and let's talk it over."

Sandy turned her head away and didn't dare to look at him, exposing her red ears to the monster.

Su Xuan wanted to laugh when he saw this, so he pressed the man even closer: "What are you discussing? How can you help me get through my estrus period?"

Sandy: "...I'm not!"

Su Xuan: "Then don't let it go."

"Let go!"

"No."

"Su Xuan!"

"Yeah, I'm here."

Sandy turned around and looked at him fiercely, but only she knew how embarrassed and annoyed she was, and it was clearly a blush caused by embarrassment.

The moment she looked at Su Xuan, Sang Dai heard the aggrieved voice of the Demon King.

[Daidai, the estrus period is really uncomfortable. I can't even maintain my human form. It's like being thrown into a furnace.]

Sandy opened her lips, but no words came out.

The nine-tailed foxes have hot blood and high body temperature, especially during the estrus period. Sandy knows this.

"Su Xuan..."

Su Xuan sighed lightly, hugged her tightly, and rested his chin on the hollow of Sandy's neck.

He knew he was a little impatient, but whenever he saw the swordsman, he always wanted to get closer to her. He was extremely grateful that Sandy allowed him to get close to her, so he felt secretly happy, but also more dissatisfied.

He wanted to have her, to be with her, to be by her side as a husband.

Regardless of whether he was teasing her with words or getting closer to her with actions, in the final analysis, he wanted to see a swordsman with emotions and feelings, rather than the cold and indifferent person in the past who kept all his emotions hidden in his heart.

He felt that Sandy wasn't the right person to be like that.

He hoped that Sandy was as bright as this, that she could blush, get angry, laugh and cry.

Su Xuan's chin rested on her neck, and the hot air he exhaled sprayed on Sang Dai's skin. She felt itchy, and also felt that the body temperature of the nine-tailed fox clan was really high.

After a struggle, one of the foxes hugged Sandy tighter, almost holding her in its arms.

"Don't move, let me hug you, just a hug will do."

His voice was dull and they were so close that Sandy could even feel his changes.

It was too obvious and couldn't be covered up at all. Even if she didn't understand anything, she still knew these basic physiological common senses. The nine-tailed fox tribe was not only tall in stature. Sandy felt like she was suffocating just by noticing it.

Sandy turned her head away, took a deep breath, and asked, "You...you...you..."

She was trembling and couldn't speak clearly. She felt that all her courage in this life was gone.

Su Xuan pecked at the soft flesh on Sang Dai's neck, nuzzled it, and asked in a muffled voice, "What's wrong?"

Sandy pushed him: "I am the one, do you want to..."

Su Xuan was now enduring until his head was aching, so he hugged her tighter. He didn't quite understand what she was saying, so he asked, "What's wrong with me?"

Sandy: “…”

Do we really have to let her say that?

Her face flushed, she closed her eyes and said in a low voice: "You, that..."

“…”

Su Xuan raised his eyes and glanced at Sang Dai, whose face was flushed red.

He finally understood what the swordsman was saying.

Su Xuan grabbed the soft flesh on her neck and bit it gently, and all the hairs on Sang Dai's body stood up.

"What do you want me to do? I have endured all these years of estrus since I turned 18."

"…Let go a little."

"Hold me again."

“…Hey.”

Su Xuan held her waist and held her to sit beside the hot spring pool: "This way you won't get scratched. Let me hold you, don't move."

He squeezed between her knees and buried his face in her neck again, sniffing her scent.

Sandy's legs were spread on both sides of him, and her legs felt a little itchy from his breath. She subconsciously hooked her legs and touched his waist, and she felt something that shouldn't be there.

"You, you are wearing pants..."

Su Xuan laughed in a muffled voice: "Why, Miss Sang, do you feel regretful? If you want to see it, I am willing to do so."

When he knew she was behind the screen, Su Xuan immediately picked up the pants he had just changed and put them on again.

He dared to be presumptuous in front of her, because Sandee was a timid little turtle, and if he didn't take the initiative, he would never be able to marry her in this lifetime, but he didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

Until she truly agrees, any excessive behavior would be an offense to her.

Sandy coughed lightly and closed her eyes, not daring to look at him: "No... I didn't..."

It was so adorable that Su Xuan felt that he could spend the whole day enthusiastically just teasing her.

She was too shy and easily embarrassed. She seemed to be stumbling over her words and finally didn't say anything. Fortunately, he understood her well enough.

Worried that a certain sword practitioner might get too hung up on himself, Su Xuan explained:

"Sande, I am a man."

"I...I know..."

Although it was difficult to connect the adult Su Xuan with the boy in his memory after recovering his memory, Sang Dai also felt dazed. It turned out that one hundred and twenty years had passed, and the slender boy in the memory had grown into a tall and upright young man who could truly stand on his own.

Su Xuan added: "The etiquette of the relationship is also a way for couples to express their love, so these things are very normal, and you will also have normal desires."

Sandy retorted: "I, I don't need it. I'm not as, as..."

"So what?"

“…not serious.”

Su Xuan laughed muffledly again, his chest was shaking, and Sang Dai also shook a few times.

Sandy really couldn't say anything too vulgar.

Su Xuan smiled and said, "How can this be improper? I am already an adult. My father had several children when he was my age. Sandi, didn't the Sword Sect teach you those common sense?"

"...No, they don't care about me."

She even figured out her menstrual period on her own.

Su Xuan was silent for a long time, holding her without saying a word, and the air pressure around them suddenly dropped.

Sandy smelled the rich herbal scent on him and felt his hot body temperature.

She thought he was unusually quiet and pushed the fox that was leaning against her neck.

"You...what's wrong with you..."

Will I fall into a coma if this matter is not resolved?

The fox said sullenly, "It doesn't matter. Whatever they don't teach you, I will teach you in the future."

Sandy: “…”

She pushed him hard: "Who wants you to teach me?"

Su Xuanran remained motionless and refused to let go, "If I don't teach you, who will? Do you want someone else to teach you?"

"I don't want anyone to teach me - No, why should I learn this?"

Sandy's face turned red as if blood was dripping out.

Su Xuan raised his head, looked at her, and suddenly smiled: "Yes, there is no need to learn."

[You don't need to take the initiative, I will do it. I will serve you. You will naturally learn it with more practice.]

Sandy: "Get out of here!!!"

Su Xuan said coquettishly: "Hug me again."

"I won't hug you anymore!"

"I want a hug."

"You don't want to!"

"I am still feeling uncomfortable."

"You figure it out yourself!"

No one knew how this man got so much strength. Sandy tried to push him but couldn't move him. She also didn't dare to use her spiritual power for fear of hurting him.

She pushed him randomly with her hands. The muscles under her palms did not make her feel shy. However, when she accidentally pressed his left shoulder, the unusual bulge made Sandy stop suddenly.

Su Xuan hadn't realized her abnormality yet. He noticed that the swordsman in his arms had stopped moving. He closed his eyes to suppress his passion, and held her in his arms, ready to slowly send her out. He had been a little too intimate tonight, and the distance between them had shortened a lot, but he couldn't be too impatient, or she would really get angry.

He let out a long breath, the veins on his forehead throbbed, and his body was in great pain, but he still stood up and let go of the swordsman.

"I won't tease you anymore. Are you cold? I'll help you dry it—"

Before he could finish his words, he noticed Sandy's blank gaze. She stared directly at his bare chest without any concealment.

Su Xuan frowned slightly and looked in the direction she was looking.

The scar on his shoulder silenced both of them.

The scar on Su Xuan's shoulder was too clear. He was white, and the scar was too hideous.

That was many years ago when they had a fight and she stabbed him with a sword. Su Xuan was busy with the affairs of the demon royal family and did not heal the wound, leaving a scar.

The self-healing ability of those who have awakened their heavenly spiritual roots is very strong, but Sandy's sword is a world-famous sword, different from ordinary weapons. If he is stabbed with the sword, it will definitely leave a scar if he does not take good care of the injury.

I only had a quick glance at it before, but now seeing it from such a close distance, the scar that is three fingers long is horrific and hideous.

That bit of enthusiasm was instantly extinguished by a bucket of cold water. Su Xuan suddenly covered her eyes and didn't dare to tease her anymore: "Sang Dai, it's all over, don't look at it."

But Sandy held his hand, gently pulled it apart, and stared at the scar on his shoulder, which ran across his entire shoulder and almost reached his chest.

Seeing her like this, Su Xuan felt a little regretful. He had forgotten about this and should have known not to tease her.

"Sandy, close your eyes and don't look."

Su Xuan took the outer robe that fell into the pool and was about to put it on, but Sang Dai suddenly reached out her hand, and her soft fingertips touched his scar.

"Su Xuan, I'm sorry."

The outer robe that Su Xuan had just picked up fell down again.

The slender, white fingers on his shoulder gently stroked the scar, and the swordsman's eyelashes drooped slightly.

Su Xuan held her hand and said, "I have said before that you never need to apologize."

"…I thought you were going back to recover from your injuries."

"It's my fault. I didn't take care of myself. I don't blame you. It has nothing to do with you. Don't apologize."

"……Feel sorry."

"Sandy, this is the last time you will apologize to me. Don't say such things again."

Sandy stared at the wound on his shoulder without moving.

Su Xuan sighed and leaned over to look into her eyes.

I didn't cry, but my eyes were red.

"Sandy, it's all in the past. We need to move on."

Sandy raised her eyes and they looked at each other.

Su Xuan's eyes were filled with heartache.

[Daidai, don't cry. I shouldn't tease you.]

Sang Dai rubbed her eyes and whispered, "Su Xuan, I will never hurt you again."

Su Xuan wiped her tears and coaxed her in a soft voice: "I know everything that this deity knows."

They are no longer the same as they were in the past. Now Su Xuan can get close to Sandy, and Sandy allows him to get close and will no longer draw her sword against him.

The opposing positions of the past have changed, and what happened before will never happen again.

Worried that Sandy would feel guilty seeing the scars, Su Xuan ignited the fire to dry her clothes.

"Do you want to go out?"

Sandy nodded: "Yes."

Su Xuan closed his eyes and rubbed her neck gently, sniffing the fragrance on her body, and said in a hoarse voice: "I won't send you out, go out by yourself, and wait for me to pack up and come out for dinner."

Sandy felt his hot breath, realized something, and responded vaguely: "Yeah."

Su Xuan let her go: "Go ahead."

He turned around and faced away from Sandy. His loose hair was still dripping with water and his ears were red. From this angle, Sandy could see the hidden veins on his forehead and neck. Facing Su Xuan's desire for her for the first time, Sandy didn't dare to look at him and quickly got up.

"Su, Su Xuan, I'm going to leave first. You, take care of yourself."

Su Xuan: “?”

He looked back, but Sandy had already disappeared.

Su Xuanqi laughed.

Let him take care of his health?

He is almost suffocating. If I really feel sorry for him, I should have agreed to be his wife earlier. Why would he have to endure this?

"You are such a heartless person."

Su Xuan looked down, gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and mobilized his spiritual power to lower his body temperature.

It's really hard.

Sandy ran to the yard, still feeling hot and uncomfortable. Cuishao just came in with some food and was a little surprised to see Sandy standing in the yard.

"Madam, why is your face so red? Do you have a fever?"

She thought Sandy's meridians were disordered again. She was anxious and quickly put down the tray and walked towards Sandy. She reached out and touched her forehead: "It's not hot, what's wrong?" Sandy dodged her, walked to the stone table, picked up the teacup, poured herself several glasses of water, and drank them in one breath.

"I'm fine, I'm just a little hot."

Cui Shao whispered, "But it's already autumn, and the temperature has been OK lately."

Sandy: "...I, I just practiced backsword, it's hot."

Cui Shao understood: "Madam, please drink tea here first. I will go downstairs to prepare the meal."

Sandy nodded: "Okay."

As soon as Cui Shao left, she drank the water in the teapot. The bathroom was silent without the sound of water, and she didn't know what Su Xuan was doing.

Sandy thought back to the time when she was in the hot spring, and the heat on her face that had just subsided rose again.

She closed her eyes and breathed in and out, but she still couldn't get over her embarrassment. She opened her eyes and glared fiercely towards the bathroom.

It's all his fault.

Sang Dai sat down at the stone table and waited for nearly an hour. Cui Shao reheated the food several times before Su Xuan finally came out of the bathroom.

He was still wearing a loose black robe, not the one she had carried in, nor the one he wore during the day. A certain fox liked cleanliness, so clothes that had been worn for a day had to be sent for washing, and the same went for clothes that had fallen into the water.

Sandy thought that he should have new clothes stored in the bathroom.

Their eyes met, and Sang Dai heard Su Xuan's angry voice.

[You are such a heartless person. I am so upset and you don’t even feel sorry for me. ]

Sandy clenched her fists helplessly.

She didn't know how Su Xuan solved it, but anyway he looked fine now. Apart from his fierce eyes, everything else seemed fine.

Sang Dai smiled embarrassedly. After seeing the big scar she left on Su Xuan, she felt somewhat guilty.

She walked forward and took the initiative to hold Su Xuan's hand to transmit spiritual power to him.

Sandy whispered, "Let me dry your hair."

The little fox seldom dries his hair after bathing. As the nine-tailed fox is born with the fire of karma, his hair can dry quickly.

But this was the first time Sandy dried his hair.

Su Xuan let her hold his hand, turned his head away and looked at her coldly as if he didn't want to pay any attention to her, but the corners of his lips were raised wildly, and Sandy looked at him with a complicated expression.

The hair dried very quickly. Just as Sandy was about to withdraw her hand, a fox held her hand in its backhand and naturally led Sandy to the kitchen: "I'm hungry, let's go eat."

Sandy: "...There's no need to hold hands when eating."

Su Xuan didn't even turn his head: "I'm cold, I need you to warm me up."

Sandy: "...You are a nine-tailed fox."

"So what?"

"The nine-tailed fox was born with the fire of karma."

"My bloodline is impure and my karma is useless."

Sandy: "I'm not stupid, nor am I blind."

A divine beast with impure bloodline cannot have a divine seal on its forehead. However, Su Xuan's original body has a golden divine seal on its forehead. His bloodline is extremely pure, and both his parents are genuine nine-tailed foxes.

He turned around and looked at her, then he said "tsk", and shook his head: "No, you are stupid and blind."

“…That was once.”

"I don't care, I will take care of it."

A fox started to act like a rogue.

Sandy added another adjective for him.

Three years old at most.

Sometimes she acts like a little princess, acting unreasonable, frivolous and naughty, and likes to act coquettishly.

Princess Su was so happy that she was beaming with joy.

Pulling Sandy to the kitchen, Cuishao was about to serve the rice and heat it up again. Sandy saw that she was running around several times and hurried to stop her.

"No need to run, go eat and rest, we will handle it ourselves."

Cui Shao glanced at the two people's clasped hands, lowered her head and suppressed her laughter, and said, "Yes, I will take my leave."

Princess Su sat down gracefully and used the karma fire to heat up the slightly cold food.

Sandy: "...Didn't you say that Hellfire is useless?"

Princess Su suddenly realized: "Really? Wow, how come it's useful again?"

Sandy: “…”

A rib was placed in the bowl. Princess Su said calmly, "You are too thin. Don't let them think that I don't give my wife good food when we go to Chunqiu Pavilion this time. The demon queen has become so thin."

Sandy looked at herself silently. She was actually a little fatter than when she first came to the demon world, but her frame was not big, and she consumed too much energy from daily sword practice. So she looked thin, but not as exaggerated as he said.

"Madam, eat." Su Xuan said, "Eat to gain weight."

Sandy: "I'm going to the Spring and Autumn Building tomorrow. Can I gain ten pounds overnight?"

It was originally a joke, but Su Xuan was obviously thinking seriously. He pinched Sandy's jaw and turned her face around, frowning slightly: "It seems unlikely."

Sandy rolled her eyes at him, glared at him, picked up the ribs in the bowl and took a bite.

But Su Xuan next to her kept staring at her. Sang Dai was not as shameless as Su Xuan and was easily shy. She couldn't eat at all when he stared at her, and even her chewing movements seemed particularly stiff.

Unfortunately, a fox didn't realize it and kept watching Sandy eat.

Sandy looked up at him, her mouth full and her cheeks puffed out.

[…So cute, how can you still be so pretty even when you’re angry! ]

Sandy: He knows she's angry!

[I should have been cheeky enough to give her a kiss just now. Dai Dai could only stab me with a sword at most. It’s too much to trade a sword for a kiss! ]

He mentioned what happened just now again, and Sandy's face turned red. She found it hard to accept that Lian Su Xuan was sitting next to her.

She moved her stool to the side, looking as if she didn't want to pay any attention to Su Xuan.

Su Xuan unconsciously moved closer to her.

Sandy moved again.

Su Xuan passed by again.

Sandy was still moving.

Su Xuan chased after her.

Sang Dai was almost moving around the table. Su Xuan finally couldn't bear it anymore. He stretched out his legs to hook the legs of Sang Dai's bench, and with a little force, he dragged her back along with the bench and placed her next to him.

"Eat your meal, I'm hungry."

Sandy swallowed the ribs in her mouth and muttered, "Then can you just eat quietly?"

Su Xuan: "What's wrong with me?"

He didn't say a word, okay?

Sandy: “…”

Damn, I really don't know what to say.

He really didn't say a word, he said it all in his heart!

She lowered her head, her heart beating wildly, and she didn't pick up the food. But she wasn't picky about food either. She ate whatever Su Xuan picked up.

Su Xuan's heart softened when he saw this, and he resisted the urge to rub Sang Dai's head. He was quite willing to help his swordsman peel shrimps, remove bones from them, and serve rice and vegetables. The demon king happily served people, and there was no sign of reluctance on his face.

After the meal, it was already dark. Cui Shao came over to pack up her things, and Su Xuan wanted to hold her hand again.

Once it happens, it will happen countless times. He is now quite complacent and is not aware of his own behavior and subconscious reactions.

Sandy reacted before him, and walked outside with her skirt lifted up, her steps hurried as if she was fleeing.

Su Xuan was stunned for a moment, and Cui Shao laughed softly beside him.

The little fox glared at her and Cui Shao immediately held back her anger.

Su Xuan stood in the kitchen for a while, so long that Cuishao had packed up everything. He suddenly called Cuishao who was about to leave.

"stop."

"My Lord, do you have any other instructions?"

Su Xuan asked: "You...what do you think of me towards Dai Dai?"

Cui Shao replied: "The Lord is very kind to Madam and takes very good care of her."

Su Xuan frowned: "Then she... does she like me?"

Cui Shao was stunned and met the inquiring gaze of her master.

To be honest, Su Xuan is indeed quite good-looking. His appearance is so outstanding that he is famous in the Four Realms. He is also highly skilled. He is the Demon King and a person with awakened heavenly spiritual roots. There are countless people in the Four Realms who like Su Xuan, but a certain fox is too fierce and too lazy. Except for going to see Sang Dai, he hardly ever leaves the Demon Palace, so it is difficult for outsiders to see him.

But the same is true for Sandy. She has outstanding looks, high cultivation, and is also a person with awakened heavenly spiritual roots. There are also male cultivators who like Sandy all over the four realms. However, due to Sandy's cold personality, she either goes down the mountain to eliminate evil spirits or cultivates in the Sword Sect. The only one who has been guarding Sandy for so many years and has been seriously injured many times but still has the nerve to go to her again with a smile is Su Xuan.

Cuishao felt that these two people could only belong to each other.

One is cold, but very gentle to him.

One is fierce, but very tolerant towards her.

Cui Shao stood up, looked directly into Su Xuan's expectant eyes, and said gently, "My Lord, Madam is shy. Perhaps it's because she hasn't had anyone familiar around her these years. She grew up alone in the Sword Sect, without any real friends or relatives. The Sword Sect didn't care about anything except teaching Madam how to cultivate. So Madam is a little dull and too cautious in dealing with feelings. But Madam is different with you."

Su Xuan pursed his lips and did not respond.

"She treats you, Master Liu, and even the servants completely differently."

Sang Dai is polite but distant to Liu Lixue, and trusts and appreciates Cui Shao, but she will not be too close to either, nor will she reveal her true self in front of them. At least in front of Liu Lixue and Cui Shao, she is stubborn and strong. She can survive even if her veins are broken. She can stand up countless times after falling down once. She will not cry and will not be fragile.

"But in front of you, she would cry, depend on you, get angry, and be happy. I feel that the master is different in the lady's heart."

Su Xuan lowered his eyes and murmured in a low voice: "Isn't it the same?"

"It's different." Cui Shao said firmly: "The Lord is the most suitable person for Madam. With her personality, only the Lord can enter her heart."

What Sandy needs is not an upright and kind person, nor a person with great talent and powerful cultivation.

What she needed from the beginning to the end was someone who believed in her unconditionally and accompanied her, who could tolerate her coldness and melt away her thorns bit by bit.

Cui Shao smiled and said, "After all, you are the only one who has persisted over the years. Every time you were beaten half to death by Madam, you would come back and tell us with a smile that Dai Dai's cultivation has improved again. You are really amazing."

These words sounded like a teasing, but now that she had been transferred to the Demon Palace by Su Xuan, Cui Shao had seen the real Su Xuan and felt that her own master was a very good person.

He has a cold face but a soft heart, a childish and violent temper, but he does not kill indiscriminately. He is very protective of his own shortcomings and protects the demon world very well.

He is a good demon and an even better monarch.

Very smart and strong, able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Sandy, they will stand at the top together, unmatched.

Cui Shao is not afraid of him, and Su Xuan will not really be angry with her.

"So, my Lord, I think she will definitely like you, just like how the people of our demon world are passionate about you. Your Majesty is shy, but she also likes you and will be soft-hearted. She really needs unconditional love."

"Similarly, your wife needs firm companionship and unwavering trust. You must always believe in her and stand by her side."

“So you can be bolder, like, more passionate.”

Su Xuan was silent for a long time.

Cui Shao stayed where she was quietly. Time passed by little by little and nearly a quarter of an hour had passed.

The person who was quiet just now suddenly moved.

"You are right."

Since Sandy has such a stubborn personality, he should pry open her shell little by little.

Su Xuan strode out in the direction of.

It is the main hall.

That's where Sandy lived.
