Title: After the Villainess Awakens

Chapter 9 - They're a couple! (1)
This was a fatal question. Xiao Mian's expression cracked for a moment. He pursed his lips and didn't speak.
Realizing that the painted skin demoness was serious about wanting him to make a choice, he leaned slightly forward while holding his spiritual sword. His expression was unprecedentedly cold. His posture showed that he would fight her to the death if she insisted on forcing him to choose.
He was the only one that knew the truth. He had almost turned to look at Leng Mushi.
He was shocked by his instinctive response. His hand was slightly shaking as he held his sword so tightly that even the veins on his joints were visible.
Not choosing wasn't a choice. The painted skin demoness looked like she was about to bend down. With her stature, she could easily slap them to death.
They were already inside the painted skin demoness's mouth. This was probably just a puppet clone of the actual demoness. They were in danger, and it was just luck that they could delay their impending death.
Leng Mushi turned to look at Xiao Mian. From the side, she could see that he looked tense. His overly delicate eyebrows looked like they were permanently furrowed. His sword was pointed towards the painted skin demoness. He looked very imposing and ready to attack and die rather than surrender.
Since ancient times, heroes were as lofty and unyielding as cold plum flowers. It was normal for Xiao Mian to be like this. Even if he didn't surrender, he wouldn't die.
If the sky fell, it would leave a space for the protagonists to stand. However, the sky would fall onto the rest of the ground and crush the supporting characters like herself and the two shixiongs into pulp.
"Why aren't you speaking?" The painted skin demoness was a bit impatient. "Are you not going to choose?"
Leng Mushi thought; fine, the hero would rather die than submit. She would submit in his place.
She saw that Xiao Mian was about to attack and mustered her courage to say, "Why does he get to choose? That's not fair!"
Xiao Mian turned his head to look at her. Leng Mushi waved her hand at the painted skin demoness to get her attention.
"Beautiful sister, look at me, the way I look now, no one would choose me over my beautiful sister. That's not fair."
The painted skin demoness's attention was attracted by Leng Mushi. The demoness seriously hesitated for a moment.
And then, she said, "Hmm, but his scent is on your body. It's a smell that comes from within his body. Other than when a pair couples, how could a person be stained with such a strong smell from another person? This must mean that you two have already gotten together. Based on that, that gives you an advantage over your sister. You're even."
As soon as the demoness said these words, the other three gasped. The two shixiongs looked at Leng Mushi and Xiao Mian in shock. Leng Tianyin covered her mouth and was the most exaggerated. She hiccupped so much as if she was going to die.
Xiao Mian's ears suddenly turned redder than the blood pool. Leng Mushi slowly turned her head to look at him.
With trembling lips, Leng Mushi said, "Didn't I tell you not to put that inside last night?"
"I didn't! I…I…. How could I… " Flushed with embarrassment, he replied.
He pleadingly looked at his two shixiongs and defended himself, "Shixiongs can see that my cultivation…"
He bit back the latter half of his words. In front of everyone's shocked eyes, he angrily pointed his word at the demoness.
"Stop deluding people with lies! Shixiongs, let's form the evil-killing formation. Don't bother talking to this demoness. We'll kill our way out of here!"
Even though he was extremely angry, he knew that Leng Mushi was just saying nonsense to give them more time, so he didn't blame her.
He was too embarrassed to reveal what happened last night. He had peed over the edge of the cliff recently, and Leng Mushi insisted on jumping down from there. She had dragged him down with her. They had rolled over that spot… He had clearly used the cleansing technique so many times. How did this demoness still smell that out? Could it be that this demoness was originally a dog?
The two shixiongs didn't hesitate after hearing this. They raised their swords and were about to seriously go all out.
However, Leng Mushi knew that the painted skin demoness was one cultivation realm higher than Xiao Mian and his two shixiongs. There was no chance they could win against her. They would die.
The plot had already gotten so messy. Instead of letting them die, it would be better to struggle a little longer.
Thus, Leng Mushi said, "Beautiful sister, you think too highly of men. It's true that we spent the night together, but now that my appearance is completely ruined, he won't choose me. Moreover, I saw him exchange flirty looks with my sister yesterday during the daytime. He's a womanizer."
Xiao Mian, who was about to fly up and raise his sword, slipped and looked at Leng Mushi in shock. Leng Mushi quickly blinked at him.
The past two days have been the most outrageously colorful two days in Xiao Mian's life. He almost choked to death after hearing her words.
