Married the Second Generation Fox Demon with a Baby in a Flash Marriage - Chapter 46

“Hey, hey, hey! Are you planning on buying her adult toys? She’s still so young; using them too much is bad for her. She’ll develop a dependency, and it might even lead to sexual dysfunction… A contracted demon is still a demon, made of flesh and blood! I’m much more useful than those gadgets! Ah!” Shen Yuexi shouted from behind the door. She wanted to say more, but a streak of golden spiritual energy—infused with Righteous Qi—snaked out from the crack in the door. Shen Yuexi scrambled back several steps in terror to dodge it.

She watched the golden energy pursue her like a serpent, forcing her to flee far from Ye Xinyu’s villa.

Only after running quite a distance and seeing the energy dissipate did Shen Yuexi stop. Looking back toward the villa, she was fuming. She hadn’t found a suitable partner or a girlfriend in years; she had been relying on those “gadgets” and was truly sick of them. She had finally found someone interesting, only to be this unlucky. But there was nothing she could do—she couldn’t afford to provoke the woman inside. Craving her was useless.

As Shen Yuexi left dejectedly, Ye Xinyu stood behind the door. Though her face appeared calm, her ears were flushed a deep crimson.

She circulated her spiritual energy for one full cycle to steady her breathing before turning back into the villa.

“Xinyu, how exactly are you planning to help Mengmeng through that… period? Going in with your real body? That’s a huge sacrifice! You’re a member of the Ye family; if your grandfather finds out you’re with a demon, he’ll be furious,” Gu Yiying teased, leaning against the doorframe as she watched Ye Xinyu walk in with a frost-covered expression.

Since the moment Hu Mengmeng appeared, Gu Yiying had felt their relationship was unusual. Her observations over the past few days had only confirmed it. Though the others couldn’t hear the conversation at the door, Gu Yiying’s cultivation was high enough that she heard bits of it without even trying.

“Mengmeng and I have already registered. We are legal partners,” Ye Xinyu said flatly, her expression unchanging.

“Cough! What did you say? Registered?! Are you joking?!” Gu Yiying’s eyes nearly popped out of her head; she choked on her own saliva.

“If you have time to gossip about me, you should spend it managing the Gu family. I saw people from the Gu family’s second branch today. They tried to arrest Mengmeng and had a hand in framing her. Once I uncover the full truth, I will not be polite,” Ye Xinyu added before walking away.

“Damn, those useless idiots only know how to cause trouble!” Gu Yiying cursed under her breath and immediately grabbed her phone to make inquiries. She knew Ye Xinyu didn’t make jokes and never spoke without reason. If she said it, it was true. Gu Yiying was well aware of whether Hu Mengmeng was involved in that case or not. Things were finally going well between her and Ye Xinyu; if the Gu family caused more trouble, it would ruin everything.

Ye Xinyu ignored Gu Yiying and returned to her room to check on Hu Mengmeng.

Hu Mengmeng, having been bathed and dried, was sleeping soundly to recover her strength. A Spiritual Gathering Talisman—the kind Tao Tao had been practicing—hovered over her, accelerating the flow of spiritual energy into her body. After days of practice, Tao Tao’s talismans had improved from a 10% efficiency to 15%. The effect was quite good.

Ye Xinyu didn’t cultivate. She simply stayed by Hu Mengmeng’s side, watching her.

Images of Hu Mengmeng from the past few days flashed through her mind. Telling Shen Yuexi she would handle it wasn’t an impulse; if this period had to be navigated, she was the only one who could be by Hu Mengmeng’s side.

The suppression pills only worked for four or five days, and Mengmeng had already partially lost control once. Although her reason had returned enough for her to exhaust her energy and stamina through extreme physical exertion, Ye Xinyu didn’t know what would happen next time when the urge grew stronger. She had to help Hu Mengmeng. Without the “little one,” it would be simple, but for the baby’s safety, she had to make perfect preparations.

Ye Xinyu began listing items to prepare: reinforcing the villa’s protections, setting up scent-isolation arrays, upgrading the binding arrays in case Mengmeng lost control, preparing pills to induce immediate unconsciousness, and powerful Clarity Talismans. It was as serious as preparing for a major battle. After all, Hu Mengmeng had six tails—an existence stronger than Ye Xinyu even at her peak.

Hu Mengmeng slept for an entire day and night, consuming four talismans. Her exhausted body gradually recovered. On the second evening, while Ye Xinyu was in the bathroom, Hu Mengmeng finally woke up.

Her head still throbbed with a dull, bloated ache. Her spirit felt refreshed, but her body was heavy, her limbs sore and weak.

With a light hiss of breath, Hu Mengmeng opened her eyes. Seeing the familiar decor, she realized she was in Ye Xinyu’s room. The sound of splashing water came from the bathroom. Knowing Ye Xinyu was showering, and with the familiar scent wafting through the door crack, Hu Mengmeng’s mind involuntarily conjured images—Ye Xinyu under the spray, washing her body, her long hair soaked.

A sudden, jarring thought rose up: Go in. Take her…

Hu Mengmeng shook her head violently to pull her gaze away, circulating her spiritual energy several times. She remembered what had happened. She had been so bold as to kiss Ye Xinyu in the bar. Ye Xinyu had clearly been unwilling, pushing her away the whole time.

She must have been affected by that bit of Pink Seduction she inhaled. It hadn’t affected her demon form much, but the moment she switched to her human form, the reaction was immediate. Even after fainting, she had sensed the shifts in energy and heard Ye Xinyu’s voice, which finally brought her back.

But back then, her mind was a fog. Her body had been acting on pure instinct. After carrying Ye Xinyu away, she had only one obsession: to “devour” her.

Her heightened senses made Ye Xinyu look delicious from every angle; to her state back then, it was nothing less than a gluttonous feast. Even now that she was clear-headed, the memories remained vivid—the curves of Ye Xinyu’s body, her skin like a white lamb, the lingering “cold fragrance” of her scent, and the taste still on the tip of her tongue. The red light in Hu Mengmeng’s eyes flickered again.

Her boldness had been terrifying. Thankfully, she had regained a shred of sanity; if she had truly hurt Ye Xinyu, she would have killed herself.

She patted her cheeks with her front paws. Though she was in her small fox form, it was still a full-bloodline state. Even with suppression pills, it was far too easy to be triggered by shameful thoughts. Her ancestral memories told her exactly what was happening. In the wild, this period meant releasing a scent to attract mates. It was pure instinct, unrelated to love.

But she couldn’t do that. She only had Ye Xinyu. But Ye Xinyu was pregnant; her body couldn’t handle such exertion. Plus, she had made Ye Xinyu angry multiple times today. Would she even help?

Just as she was thinking, the bathroom door opened. Ye Xinyu emerged wrapped in a bath towel.

Hu Mengmeng saw her slender, straight legs step out amidst the steam. Because she had just showered, the scent of soap mixed with her natural fragrance was intoxicating. Hu Mengmeng felt her face and ears turn red beneath her fur.

“Little Fox, you’re awake? How do you feel?” Ye Xinyu noticed her immediately, lying on the bed with wide eyes. She walked over and stroked Hu Mengmeng’s head.

“Sister… my head hurts…” Hu Mengmeng said softly. She felt like she was going to have a nosebleed. Ye Xinyu was only wearing a towel and leaning close to her—it was a fatal blow.

Ye Xinyu scooped Hu Mengmeng into her arms. Hu Mengmeng’s fur bristled, and she suddenly leaped out of Ye Xinyu’s embrace onto a nearby sofa.

“Mengmeng, what’s wrong? Are you clear-headed now?” Ye Xinyu asked, her hands feeling empty.

“Sister, I’m clear now. About today… I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it. I… I’ll go to my room first and come back later!” Not knowing what to say, Hu Mengmeng scrambled away on her short legs.

Ye Xinyu watched her leave with a neutral expression, then undid her towel to dry her hair and change.

Hu Mengmeng ran back to her room and immediately reverted to her human form. She felt slightly better this way, but her suppressed fox bloodline was restless. The sealing array was fluctuating violently as if it might break at any moment. She had to add several layers of protection to the seal before it stabilized.

After showering and changing, she went back to find Ye Xinyu. She needed to apologize properly for the day’s events.

Hu Mengmeng knocked, and Ye Xinyu let her in. Sitting on the sofa and looking at the “girl-next-door” version of Hu Mengmeng, Ye Xinyu’s face showed no emotion. Hu Mengmeng was flushed, nervous, and consumed by guilt.

“What Gu Mingzhen said… that you like whoever saves you. Is that true?” Ye Xinyu asked before Hu Mengmeng could speak.

“Huh? No, it’s not…” Hu Mengmeng waved her hands frantically, startled by the sudden topic.

“So if someone saves you, you don’t like them?” Ye Xinyu pressed.

“No, that’s not it!” Hu Mengmeng’s eyes went round as she waved her hands again. Meeting Ye Xinyu’s calm gaze, she felt she was in deep trouble.

“Then what is it?”

“I like Sister! I only like Sister! The thing with Lin Yuanya was a mistake. I was only good to her because I thought she was the one who saved me as a child. She clearly hated me but pretended to be my friend. I gave her back the bell because she used it to blackmail me into giving up my spot for your guidance. When she threw the bell away, I picked it up. I have no feelings for her now. I only have Sister! I swear!” Hu Mengmeng’s face turned bright red, and her eyes began to well up.

“Oh. Is there anything else?” Ye Xinyu gave a soft ‘oh’ and gripped her cup a little tighter, her fingertips turning white.

“Sister… I came to apologize again for what I did today. I don’t know why, but I’ve entered my estrus period. During this time, I… I have trouble controlling myself. Until it passes, I might enter that state again. I… I want Sister to be my mate and help me through this. I promise I won’t hurt you or the baby.” Hu Mengmeng’s heart was pounding.

The words felt like they were dripping with blood as they left her lips. This was a blatant invitation. Would Ye Xinyu get angry and blast her with Righteous Qi?

“If Sister is unwilling, I… I’ll leave for a while. I’ll come back after the period is over,” Hu Mengmeng added, biting her lip when Ye Xinyu remained silent.

“Where would you go?” Ye Xinyu’s gaze turned dangerous.

“I’ll go to the mountains to cultivate… like I did during the day.”

“And if the Ou family comes again?” Ye Xinyu paused, her expression softening slightly.

“That…” Hu Mengmeng was conflicted.

“Fine. I suppose I can reluctantly help you,” Ye Xinyu said softly.
