Chapter 19 My Wife is a Vixen 19
"It's nothing." Zhou Lixing handed the money bag to her after leaving, saying, "I can't accept something for nothing. I already owe you too much."
"Why are you so rigid?" A Ning frowned.
Thinking of something, A Ning reached out and took the jade pendant from his hand: "If you feel you owe me too much, then give me this."
Seeing Zhou Lixing's surprised expression: "This thing is..."
What is it?
“It’s nothing. Since you like it, I’ll give you this jade pendant.” Zhou Lixing’s eyes clearly showed his happiness.
"Judging from your expression, this thing is very important, isn't it?"
“Hmm.” Zhou Lixing remembered his mother saying that if he found a girl he liked, he could give her this jade pendant as a token of their love.
Seeing her look at the jade pendant and then hang it on her waist, Zhou Lixing's expression softened considerably.
When they called her Miss A Ning, their tone became more affectionate.
Ji Huaizhi poured a cup of tea for the two of them.
Ah Yuan listened intently: "So you two got together without knowing each other's identities?"
Ah Ning's vertical pupils changed: "We were never together."
"How can an exorcist be with a demon?" Qing Shuang sat cross-legged in the damp water prison, her eyes filled with sorrow: "We spent a long time together."
"At that time, I forgot the hatred and the rules of Jiutai Mountain."
"I feel relaxed when I'm with her; that's when I feel truly alive."
Chizuru lay to the side and said, "Is it because you knew each other's identities that you didn't end up together?"
Qing Shuang looked ahead, as if she saw A Ning from many years ago: "I will always return to Jiutai Mountain, but that time I was preparing to go up the mountain to resign."
"Zhou Lixing!" Ah Ning, holding a letter, ran out of the inn and called out to the man.
"What do you mean by leaving a letter without saying a word and then leaving?"
Seeing his reddened ears, A Ning became angry without saying a word: "What do you mean by 'Just wait, I will surely return'?"
Zhou Lixing: "A Ning, you clearly knew that."
"Then why didn't you tell me to my face?" A-Ning crossed her arms. "You don't even have that much courage?"
"Then, A-Ning, can you wait for me to come back and tell you in person?"
Zhou Lixing's eyes revealed seriousness.
He stared blankly at the other person.
Even the usually generous A Ning started to act coy: "Then don't take too long. I've never waited for anyone before. If you make me wait too long, I'll skin you alive."
Zhou Lixing smiled, and A Ning looked at him with her bright, watery eyes.
"I promise I won't keep you waiting too long." I will put aside my hatred and become a pair of carefree knights with you.
Enjoy the scenery.
A Ning handed Zhou Lixing a red string with a pair of bells tied to it: "Let's meet at our usual spot when you're done with your work."
"You can ring this bell when the time comes."
Zhou Lixing took it as a girl's little whim, put it away, and returned to Jiutai Mountain.
When I went to pay my respects to my master after doing what he had instructed, I was surprised to find that all the elders of Jiutai Mountain were there.
"You've arrived?" The deep voice carried an air of authority.
Zhou Lixing went in and knelt down straight: "Master, Elder."
"I am deeply grateful to my master for saving me from the clutches of the demons. He also taught me talisman magic and how to identify demons. I will always remember this kindness and never forget it."
"But now, while I was training at the foot of the mountain, I met a woman I want to protect for the rest of my life. I only ask to grow old with her."
"I have failed the sect's cultivation, but I dare not betray my heart."
"I beg my master and elders to allow me to descend the mountain."
After Zhou Lixing finished speaking, he kowtowed heavily.
The council chamber was so quiet you could hear a pin drop in an instant. Zhou Lixing knelt for quite a while before he heard a sigh from above.
"You can get up now."
Zhou Lixing didn't move, and the elder next to his master was exasperated:
"Do you even know what kind of woman she is? And you're willing to leave the sect for her?"
"Elder, she is very good, and I love her."
"You...you...you...you're hopeless."
The master raised his hand, looked at him, and asked, "Do you know the sect's second rule?"
Zhou Lixing recited: "Those who exorcise demons must be irreconcilable with demons. Those who collude with demons shall be expelled from their sect and killed without exception."
Suddenly raising his head, Zhou Lixing's eyes were filled with disbelief: "Master?"
"The girl you love is a demon, Lixing, are you still going to be so stubborn?"
"Impossible." Zhou Lixing's eyes were red as he shook his head repeatedly. "It's impossible."
“She is a fox demon.” His master directly shattered his illusions: “We have calculated that in addition to the calamity that befell your family back then, there is another calamity in your life that is on that fox demon.”
Zhou Lixing looked like he was about to shatter.
Stunned.
"Lixing, your master has high expectations for you. How can you let him down?"
"Have you forgotten how your parents died?"
“That’s a demon! Your parents and brother all died at the hands of demons, and you actually say you’re in love with that fox demon? And you’re even willing to leave your sect for her.”
"you....."
They spoke one sentence after another, but fell silent when they saw the tears streaming down Zhou Lixing's face.
Master: "There are some things you need to figure out for yourself."
"Come find me again when you've thought it through."
"Lixing, think of the spirits of your parents and your younger brother in heaven."
The doors of the council chamber opened and closed, much like Zhou Lixing's inner world.
He knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face, seemingly asking, "Why? Why?"
"Why are you a demon?"
"Why is it that you have to be a demon?"
"A-Ning...A-Ning..."
Why?
"How could you be a demon?"
Then came a sobbing voice: "Father, Mother, your child is unfilial, it's all your fault, brother, I'm sorry."
A Ning sat idly in the teahouse listening to a storyteller, when she happened to hear about a love story between a human and a demon.
"Smack!" The man slammed the object in his hand: "How can a human and a demon be together? That's against all reason!"
"So in the end, the two were separated, the demoness met a tragic end with her soul scattered, and the man..."
Hearing this, A Ning couldn't hold back any longer. She flung her sleeves and said angrily, "What are you saying? Why can't humans and demons be together?"
