Chapter 16: When the Son-in-Law Knocks
In the end.
Ye Xueyi ultimately went against her own will and was once again forced to submit to this villain.
She had no way to change the outcome and could only protest in the only way she could.
Her stunning face remained cold, treating this as a test of her Dao heart.
It was just a minor irritation; there was no way it could break her!
She would treat it as being bitten by a dog. At worst, she could expel it with her cultivation technique...
The goddess's thoughts began to drift, quickly spiraling into all sorts of wild ideas.
At this moment, Su Qing hadn't even touched her!
Yet, this seemingly serious Daoist goddess was already thinking about whether she might get pregnant.
Fortunately, Su Qing had no idea what Ye Xueyi was thinking. Otherwise, he would have found it utterly hilarious.
The young man had already made up his mind to go all in.
Same as before—don’t overthink it. This was purely for cultivation purposes!
Time passed in an instant.
Ye Xueyi remained motionless, perfectly controlling her emotions.
She was like an emotionless ice sculpture, completely unaffected by this villain.
Seeing this, Su Qing smiled meaningfully.
Yes, this made the desire to conquer her even stronger!
But… could she really maintain this demeanor for much longer?
He was looking forward to finding out.
Seconds ticked by.
Faint, intermittent moans drifted through the room.
Compared to the first time, Ye Xueyi, now mentally prepared, handled it much better.
She not only suppressed her shameful sounds to the lowest volume but also significantly reduced their frequency compared to before.

This truly made cultivation feel less enjoyable!
Su Qing felt rather troubled. All he wanted was to be a hardworking student—why wouldn’t she just cooperate?
Keep dreaming!
The humiliated goddess had a hint of defiance on her face, as if she had achieved some great victory!
And at that moment.
A soft knock came from the door.
In that instant, Su Qing could clearly feel the goddess tense up.
“Madam, I… I have something to say to you.”
The voice outside sounded hesitant and nervous.
A highly recognizable voice—who else could it be but Gu Qingzhou?
Clearly.
Someone had come to offer their warm regards.
Looking at Su Qing’s mischievous expression, the goddess’s mood was the complete opposite—utterly miserable.
She was filled with resentment.
Out of all the times in a day, why choose now to come over?
She had even felt a little guilty toward him, but now, at this critical moment, he was only making things worse!
“Madam, are you there?”
Gu Qingzhou knocked lightly again.
Having stayed at the Ye family for days, he had barely seen his wife a handful of times.
For a man, this was undoubtedly humiliating.
But no matter how much this immortal wife looked down on him, she was still his wife!
He knew he had married above his station, yet he still held onto a glimmer of hope.
He wanted to build a connection with Ye Xueyi. Like water wearing down a stone, he would never give up!
“…Mm.”
Inside, there was a faint, hazy response.
“Madam, are you busy? I… I just wanted to say something. I’ll leave as soon as I’m done.”
“I’m very grateful that you chose me as your husband. It’s my greatest fortune to have met you.”
“We barely know each other, and I understand that I don’t deserve you—you are exceptional.”
“But I wish to respect and cherish you, even if you don’t see me as your husband.”
“You can treat me as a friend. As long as I can stay by your side, I won’t ask for anything else.”
“If there’s anything I can do to help you, I’d be truly happy…”
Gu Qingzhou spoke slowly, pouring out his heart.
Such a declaration of devotion was something he could never say to an outsider, but here, there were no outsiders.
Confessing to his own wife—sure, it was a bit pitiful, but it was still a touching sentiment!
His voice was filled with sincerity and emotion, making it impossible to doubt his words.
At any other time, this might have caused a ripple in the goddess’s heart.
After all, she admired sincerity, especially when it came with a sense of propriety.
But right now was absolutely the worst timing!
Ye Xueyi was enduring an overwhelming ordeal—how could she have the presence of mind to care about such trivial ripples?
Outside, the son-in-law was finally voicing the words he had pondered for so long, hoping to touch her heart.
Inside, the goddess was silently suffering, biting her lip, terrified of revealing anything.
But… the presence of someone at the door only heightened her senses!
In just a moment, her composed ice sculpture-like demeanor completely crumbled.
Her fair skin turned a gorgeous shade of red, her fiery red eyes shimmered with unshed tears.
Her cool, flowing blue hair had become a chaotic mess.
Even her neatly arranged ceremonial robe had been soaked with sweat.
That pitiful, disheveled look made Su Qing even more motivated in his cultivation!
Yes, this was the most effective way to cultivate!
Finally.
The son-in-law’s heartfelt confession came to an end, though he still seemed reluctant to stop.
Ye Xueyi let out a breath of relief.
It’s over now, right?
“…Since you’re not speaking, I’ll take that as your agreement. Now that I have time, I’d like to tell you about myself.”
“When I was young…”
The voice outside paused momentarily before continuing.
Ye Xueyi’s body froze.
Her emotions plummeted from hope to despair in an instant.
He wasn’t planning to leave, meaning… she had to keep enduring this torment!
With her supposed husband standing right outside, the goddess felt like she was about to break.
This was torture in overdrive—she wasn’t even registering what he was saying anymore.
There was no room for sentiment, only sheer agony!
No, she couldn’t take this any longer.
Long-term suffering was worse than short-term pain. She had to get rid of him first!
“Enough! I have no interest in this… ugh, do you have anything else to say?”
Ye Xueyi’s voice rose, carrying a sharp chill and impatience.
The proud goddess deliberately pushed her husband away so she could escape this situation.
Why did he have to ramble on outside the door at a time like this? It was unbearable!
“Sorry, I… I just wanted to talk to you.”
Gu Qingzhou quickly responded upon hearing her cold tone.
Speaking every day and forming a habit—this was his plan to get closer to her.
“Did it have to be right now?”
Her voice turned sharper.
With such intense emotions, it was natural for her tone to shift.
Clearly, this was an obvious order for him to leave.
“…Are you mad? Did I… did I disturb you?”
Gu Qingzhou finally realized something was wrong and cautiously asked.
Ye Xueyi nearly passed out from frustration.
If it weren’t impossible, she would’ve suspected he was in cahoots with the villain!
