Chapter 37: The Goddess Suddenly Realized That She Wasn't That Important

  The goddess, in extreme anger, had already displayed an aloof and condescending posture.

  Her eyes carried a scrutinizing gaze, trying to find a hint of guilt or amusement in this scoundrel’s expression.

  Due to her emotional turmoil, she failed to notice that her ample chest was already pressed against his hand.

  Not only that, but she was also completely unaware of how intimate her posture had become.

  If someone familiar with the goddess saw this scene, they would undoubtedly be dumbfounded.

  The dignified Heavenly Dao Sect's goddess—how could she possibly act like this toward a man?

  Even… even exuding an inexplicable charm!

  “Madam, please have some self-respect! Why did you do this to me the moment you walked in?”

  The righteous gentleman, Su Qing, had not the slightest trace of guilt on his face, his voice stern and serious.

  “Heh, it’s only been a short while, and you’re already pretending in front of me.”

  Ye Xueyi’s tone carried a faint hint of sarcasm.

  “I don’t understand what Madam means by this. Your words and actions tarnish my upright reputation.”

  Su Qing looked completely innocent.

  That serious and pure expression was truly convincing.

  And it was precisely because of this that Ye Xueyi felt even more frustrated.

  It made her feel as if she was some kind of seductive demon shamelessly trying to lure him!

  This scoundrel—he was still as detestable as ever!

  The goddess gritted her silver teeth, her hatred making her jaw ache.

  She was filled with resentment and wanted to turn and leave, but then she thought of her martial aunt Yun.

  That deeply affectionate martial aunt of hers—how could she possibly be a match for this vile scoundrel?

  If she gave up now, her martial aunt would undoubtedly follow in her footsteps sooner or later!

  This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

  Since she was already in this predicament, she had to save her martial aunt from the abyss!

  So, she had no choice but to keep up the act with him.

  “Now you’re trying to act like a righteous gentleman? Did you set your sights on some other woman?”

  Ye Xueyi’s tone was filled with disdain.

  She said this with the intention of probing him indirectly.

  “Madam, you’ve always been so dishonest, from the beginning until now.”

  “Oh? You only drop your mask when you’re not wearing any clothes.”

  “You came to me today just to beg me to spare your martial aunt, didn’t you?”

  Su Qing smiled slightly, directly exposing their relationship.

  His straightforward words completely caught the goddess off guard.

  Could this so-called righteous gentleman not keep up the act a little longer?

  “Sigh, looks like I was right. You’re the type who only seeks me out when you need something.”

  Su Qing sighed and leisurely leaned back.

  His expression was that of an official handling business, as if he were looking at someone coming to offer bribes for favoritism.

  Ye Xueyi’s emotions fluctuated again.

  Her fists clenched tightly, and she wished she could punch that detestable face in the next second.

  If she could, she truly wanted to grind him to dust!

  But as someone who knew his depths better than anyone, she forcibly suppressed this urge.

  Her past experiences had taught her that using force was useless against him.

  Moreover, her naive martial aunt had already fallen for his tricks!

  Under such circumstances, not only could she not attack him, but she couldn’t even consider a desperate gamble.

  Looking at the young man’s indifferent expression, Ye Xueyi realized something.

  The only solution left was to sacrifice herself willingly—to humble herself and please this scoundrel!

  Otherwise, he would undoubtedly go after her martial aunt without hesitation.

  If her naive martial aunt fell into his hands, who knew what would happen?

  The goddess didn’t dare to think about it.

  For the sake of her loved ones, her only choice was to swallow her pride, endure humiliation, and curry favor with him, hoping he would change his mind.

  If she could satisfy him, he might spare her martial aunt.

  The goddess, who had just been aggressive, slowly knelt beside the young man.

  Her fair, jade-like hands rhythmically massaged his legs, her face adorned with a fawning smile.

  She had completely withdrawn her sharpness, replacing it with meek obedience.

  Su Qing raised an eyebrow but remained silent.

  In truth, his heart was already filled with a sense of accomplishment.

  If it had been at the beginning, how could she have performed such actions so smoothly?

  Turning this rigid goddess into what she was now was indeed something to be proud of.

  “Master Su, my martial aunt is a good person. Can’t you let her go?”

  Ye Xueyi tried to make her voice as sincere as possible.

  “Is that all?”

  Su Qing’s face showed a disappointed expression.

  The jade-like hand that was massaging him paused for a moment before slowly retracting.

  Following that, an incredibly soft, delicate body pressed against him.

  “Master Su, don’t be so hasty~”

  Ye Xueyi murmured coquettishly as she threw herself into his arms.

  Her blue hair cascaded down, her red pupils misted with moisture, making her already stunning face even more alluring.

  Then, she closed her eyes, tilting her head slightly, her rosy lips exuding a seductive sheen.

  The peerless beauty’s face was tinged with an enticing blush, presenting herself as if awaiting his touch.

  In reality, she was simply afraid she wouldn’t be able to maintain the act and reveal her fury-filled eyes.

  The goddess kept convincing herself, urging herself to remain still.

  Come on!

  Just think of it as being bitten by a dog!

  Yet, after a long moment, the expected sensation never came.

  Puzzled, the goddess opened her eyes, only to be met with the gaze of a composed and unmoved righteous gentleman.

  Su Qing, the man who should have been unable to resist, remained unshaken, his eyes filled with indifference.

  His lips curled into a slight smirk, carrying a hint of mockery, yet he said nothing.

  His expression conveyed a clear message: With just this? You think you can please me? Ha!

  Seeing this soul-crushing look, Ye Xueyi felt utterly humiliated.

  In the sect, even a mere smile from her would leave the disciples ecstatic.

  Yet, this damnable scoundrel didn’t even bat an eye at her seduction!

  She felt her dignity trampled upon, an inexplicable fury rising in her heart.

  Although she rarely spoke about it, she had always taken great pride in her beauty.

  But now, something she was so proud of was deemed worthless in someone else’s eyes.

  A mix of anger and frustration swirled within her, and suddenly, a realization struck her.

  She… might not understand him at all.

  At first, the goddess thought he was merely an opportunistic, lustful scoundrel.

  Every time he approached her, it was just to fully claim her, the prized jewel of the Heavenly Dao Sect.

  But… his gaze now completely shattered that assumption.

  If he were truly that kind of man, how could he possibly look at her like this?

  Deep within, Ye Xueyi felt a strange discomfort.

  Perhaps… she wasn’t as important to him as she had believed?
