I am Guhuoniao, not an umbrella demon, please do not disturb me.

I'm going to win tonight!

If the monsters outside saw Bai Qingyu like this, and learned that she had dressed up so meticulously just for a female demon, a considerable number of them would be heartbroken on the spot.

Not all demons want to be sons. There are always some demons whose ambitions are sky-high. In their view, why should they be sons at their age? Wouldn't it be better to just marry her and take her home as a wife? With their "robust" bodies, they might be able to succeed. Even if they don't succeed, they can continue to try.

But who knew that the Divine Phoenix liked female demons!

There's no solution. You can't exactly undergo gender reassignment surgery and transform yourself from a big man into a little girl, can you?

She took off her fairy dress, went to the wardrobe, and found out her other favorite dress.

The last time she dressed up so meticulously was when she went to admire the cherry blossoms in the cherry blossom forest with Zhen Tian, ​​and even then she didn't dress up as much as she does now, and even used her demonic power to make her fragrance even sweeter.

In the courtyard, the kids were still gathered together talking about it.

As clever as Xiao Yao was, she revealed the secret of heaven in a single sentence.

"If you ask me, Mom will definitely go on a date with Sister Zhentian tonight. Who says a date has to be between a man and a woman? Just like Mom said, love is the most important thing, so I'm sure she'll be with Sister Zhentian!"

"Their relationship has always been good, and Auntie doesn't like such lively scenes, so maybe it really is some man, like that Lord of Arakawa?"

The little snake was even bolder in her remarks. In her opinion, the Lord of Arakawa was indeed quite charming, and more importantly, he could chat with her aunt.

“No, Auntie doesn’t like men,” Miketsu said.

Squatting next to Miketsu, Xiaoya peeked out but couldn't understand a word. All she wanted to know was why they were squatting there talking.

"Mom's going out to play, Xiaoya wants to go too!"

"No, no, no, tonight Xiaoya, you can only stay with your sister." Xiaoyao's eyes were serious.

Why?

"Because, because tonight is very important, Mommy is going to give birth to our little sister!"

"!" Bai Xiaoya's eyes widened in shock.

Just then, Bai Qingyu's soft voice sounded from behind Xiao Yao.

"Which mother of yours was going to give birth to your sister? How come I didn't know?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the group of children stood up almost simultaneously. Xiao Yao and Xiao She turned around stiffly and saw Bai Qingyu, who had dressed up carefully, standing behind them with a smile. They didn't know when she had appeared there.

Careful makeup can indeed make Bai Qingyu look even more beautiful, adding even more points to her already very high looks.

But at this moment, in the children's minds, Bai Qingyu's appearance was as frightening as a terrifying female ghost about to steal their soul.

"Haha, Mother, Mother, we didn't say anything."

Xiao Yao gave an embarrassed smile, and just as she was about to run away, Bai Qingyu grabbed her braid.

"Don't run away. You just said it yourself, I have something important to do tonight, so I'm leaving Xiaoya in your care. You watch her sleep carefully. You're all the same, stay home obediently and don't sneak out. Otherwise, if I catch you, hmph."

Bai Qingyu smiled radiantly, but to the children, that smile was somewhat terrifying.

"I understand, Mother."

"I'll keep an eye on my sisters," the little snake said with an embarrassed smile.

After saying that, Bai Qingyu disappeared. She went straight to the kitchen to find Zhen Tian, ​​leaving the children to breathe a sigh of relief.

In the kitchen, Masahiro was still making snacks for the children.

Seeing Bai Qingyu's current appearance, her eyes lit up.

Is it pretty?

"Mmm, it looks great!"

Zhen Tian put down what he was holding and looked Bai Qingyu up and down.

"Let's go out and have some fun tonight. I've already told the kids to stay home and behave."

"Tonight... um."

Upon hearing this, Zhen Tian's eyes darted away slightly. She wasn't stupid; how could she not understand Bai Qingyu's meaning? Bai Qingyu had dressed up so meticulously, and it was such a special occasion that evening, yet she had invited her out alone. Wasn't the meaning quite obvious...?

The more Zhentian thought about it, the hotter her ears became.

It all feels so sudden.

She had known about it for the past two days, and now that she had actually received Bai Qingyu's invitation, she started to panic again.

"Should I...should I get dressed up too?"

"No, no need. You can stay like this. You can change into a dress tonight."

Anyway, she's the one who's taking the initiative tonight. It doesn't matter if Zhen Tian dresses up or not; in her eyes, Zhen Tian will always be the most beautiful demon.

However, Zhen Tian still insisted on dressing up, even putting down the snacks for the children.

Her thoughts were completely different from Bai Qingyu's. In her opinion, since Bai Qingyu had taken the initiative, she should accept and face it in her most beautiful form. Otherwise, wouldn't that be disrespectful to Bai Qingyu?

Moreover, she felt that tonight would definitely be an unforgettable night for her.

She had so much she wanted to say to Bai Qingyu.

Great, let's set it for tonight.

Since we've already established this kind of relationship, there shouldn't be any secrets between us.

The two bird demons were each preoccupied with their own thoughts, both shy yet expectant.

Volume Two: Journey to the Demon Scroll: Chapter Sixteen - Confession to Zhen Tian

The city was brightly lit, and the streets were bustling with activity. Almost everyone in the city was young men and women, along with children running around. Each person carried a peach-colored lantern, which was quite special. The patterns on the lanterns were important; if they depicted birds or animals, it meant that the person was single and could be approached and pursued.

If the lantern in your hand depicts flowers and plants, and the person next to you is also holding a lantern with the same floral pattern, it means that the two are a couple. They are out together to strengthen their relationship and will not accept advances.

The lantern Bai Qingyu was holding was naturally made of flowers and plants, specifically a peach blossom, exactly the same as the one Zhen Tian was holding.

When Bai Qingyu was buying the lantern, the shopkeeper saw that she had handed another lantern to Zhen Tian beside her, and her expression was quite surprised, even somewhat shocked.

When Bai Qingyu first came to buy lanterns, saying she wanted two peach blossom lanterns, he felt a pang of regret. Such a beautiful girl already had a partner. If he were twenty years younger, he would definitely pursue her. So when he saw that Bai Qingyu's lantern was actually a peach blossom lantern, he felt a mix of emotions.

Two stunningly beautiful girls, a chance to meet only once in a lifetime, ended up fighting amongst themselves.

Bai Qingyu glanced at the boss, snorted inwardly, and didn't bother to care.

Can't two succubi be together?

Compared to the outside world, the three prefectures of Jiangnan are relatively open. Outside, young ladies from respectable families rarely show their faces in public, but this is not the case in Jiangnan, especially tonight. Regardless of gender or social status, everyone can indulge themselves tonight, not only for courtship but also for intimate activities at home.

"A lot of people."

Zhen Tian walked beside Bai Qingyu, carrying a peach blossom lantern, gazing at the bustling street ahead. Only the cover of night would have revealed her blushing face and the undisguised shyness in her eyes.

The peach-pink lanterns added a touch of ambiguity. Zhen Tian felt her heart was beating very fast ever since she stepped out the door, just like in those books that don't offer any real substance. It was as if a little deer was running wild in her heart, causing her heart to race and her face to turn red.

But for some reason, she subconsciously wanted to get closer to Bai Qingyu.

"After all, today's festival is quite special. It only comes once a year, so men and women definitely want to take advantage of this opportunity to find their ideal partner."

Bai Qingyu was holding a lantern in her left hand, while her right hand was free. Just then, Zhen Tian was right next to her right, while her left hand was empty.

Her situation was almost identical to Zhen Tian's. Despite her seemingly strong voice, she was actually quite shy, and the uncontrollable embarrassment between her brows was completely hidden by the ambiguous peach-colored light.

Bai Qingyu had complained at home that half of her carefully applied makeup was hidden by the darkness of the night. However, she only realized how wonderful the night and the lanterns were after she and Zhen Tian stepped out of the courtyard gate.

The night blurred everything, like a thin veil, covering the shyness on the face and the panic in the heart, allowing people to remain calm. The appearance of lanterns could just soften the barrier brought by the night, maintaining mystery without losing ambiguity.

If this happened in broad daylight, she and Zhen Tian would probably both blush deeply, and they'd be too busy having a terrible time to go on a date.

Even though they've been married for a long time, they were still a little shy when they got to this point. Bai Qingyu seemed to be gazing at the starry sky with her head held high, but in reality, she gently moved half a body to the side, almost touching Zhen Tian. Then, she tried to touch Zhen Tian's hand with her right hand and slowly held it in her palm.

The atmosphere created by how you speak is what matters most.

They sleep together, and holding hands is the most ordinary thing they do. She uses Zhentian's chest as a soft pillow every day, but today, just holding hands makes her heart race.

That's so lame.

Zhen Tian tilted her head and stared at the ground, as if there was something on the ground that attracted her.

She gently pursed her lips, and her small hands gripped the lantern pole a little tighter.

Holding Zhen Tian's hand, Bai Qingyu coughed and said, "Zhen Tian, ​​how about we go out and take a look?"

They're still only in the vicinity of their home, meaning the kids are all kept inside by Bai Qingyu. Otherwise, she would definitely have secretly recorded this scene.

"Mmm," Zhen Tian's voice was weak.

With the help of the little snake, the full moon in the night sky was incredibly beautiful, its light pouring down. Only after Bai Qingyu took Zhen Tian's hand and came to the street did she realize just how popular the festival was.

Men and women were chatting and laughing on the street. There were ordinary people, wealthy young men, tourists who had come here specifically to visit, and cultivators from various sects.

In a large place like Jiangnan, there are quite a few cultivators.

Cultivators are human too, and they also need entertainment. With so many cultivators in the world, there are bound to be some who have nothing better to do.

The streets are lined with stalls, mostly selling small games that require two people to play. If two people cooperate successfully, they can get a corresponding reward. These are for couples. There are also small poetry competitions organized by the local gentlemen, where they can compete and have their poems judged by the ladies below, thus allowing them to show off their talents.

There were also those aimed at girls, but not with poetry or lyrics, but with musical instruments.

They're all essentially the same; it's all about showing off.

Bai Qingyu held Zhen Tian's hand as they strolled along the bustling street, the surrounding atmosphere gradually easing the awkwardness between them.

Not only did I see men and women dating and performing talents, but I also heard couples saying extremely sweet and ambiguous things to each other.

There were also some minor incidents.

At the poetry competition, Bai Qingyu stood outside and pointed at the men on the stage, analyzing for Zhen Tian which of these men were good and which were bad men who would start something and then abandon it. In the end, the conclusion was that none of them went on stage, but rather the good men were among the men with partners watching the fun below.

This wasn't something Bai Qingyu made up; it was something floating above the man's head.

She uses this to tell her fortune.

Passing by here, and then arriving at the women's instrumental competition, Bai Qingyu told Zhen Tian directly.

None of the girls above played the piano as well as her. I'll play for her when I get home. In short, she's no worse than the girls above.

This sight made Zhen Tian laugh, a rare occurrence for Bai Qingyu.

Bai Qingyu can be a little childish at times, but most of the time she is a mature person. It's strange that she was like this today. Anyway, I'm definitely happy. Who wouldn't want their lover to show such a cute side because of them?
