Chapter 47: Damn It, Do You Really Take Me as a Pet?
"Master, please tell me, I... I'm willing to meet all your conditions!"
Han Jin Xiu's voice was soft and weak, making anyone who heard it feel a strong sense of accomplishment.
"Oh? But I don't see your sincerity."
Su Qing took a sip of tea and spoke leisurely.
"Is this still not enough?"
Han Jin Xiu's tone carried a hint of grievance.
She had already lowered herself enough, even willing to call him 'Master.'
Such a great honor—how could he still not be satisfied?
"Is that how you talk to your Master? Have you already forgotten your place?"
"You may call me that with your mouth, but what's truly in your heart? Only you know."
Su Qing's tone was lazy.
Her acting skills were indeed quite good, but that in itself was a problem.
I came to see your true self, yet you're putting on a show in front of me? That's just disrespectful.
"Master, I... I was just..."
Han Jin Xiu realized her earlier attitude and hurriedly tried to remedy it.
"No need for excuses or justifications—I don’t want to hear useless things."
"You only need to remember your identity and how you should face me!"
Su Qing's casual expression disappeared, replaced by an undeniable authority.
"I-I understand, Master! I won’t dare again!"
The princess seemed startled, instinctively speaking in a submissive tone.
Then, she realized something was wrong, a trace of shock flashing in her eyes.
The so-called Scorpion Queen had actually acted like an obedient baby because of a mere boy.
Stolen story; please report.
Her heart was filled with humiliation and resentment.
No... that’s not what this is!
There’s no way I was frightened. It was just an instinctive act, part of my performance!
Yes, this was a necessary sacrifice to obtain information!
After a round of self-deception, she felt much better.
Once she got what she wanted, she wouldn’t have to endure this humiliation anymore!
"Very well. Then come here and lie across my lap."
Su Qing was very satisfied with her reaction and patted his lap.
The first step in taming a pet was increasing their affection through touch.
Han Jin Xiu hesitated for a moment before finally giving in and obeying.
Without paying a price, she wouldn’t get the information she sought.
The weight on Su Qing’s lap instantly increased.
Clearly, the queen before him had a much higher level of understanding than a certain goddess.
From this angle, her proud curves were in full view.
Her long legs were wrapped in black fishnet stockings, only revealing the lower part of her calves. Her delicate feet were slightly arched in her high heels.
Su Qing’s gaze showed satisfaction as he gently stroked her back.
Her purple hair, tied up neatly, had not been messed up at all from her earlier movements.
Her smooth, flowing hair, once the hairpin was removed, could be stroked from the top all the way down—it was a delightful sensation.
Han Jin Xiu naturally felt disdain for this kind of petting behavior.
What was this, a slap followed by a treat?
Ridiculous. Did he really think she was some easily manipulated little girl?
Her lowered gaze flashed with a trace of contempt.
Next, he should speak gently and coax her, right?
She was very familiar with this tactic.
However, the expected sweet words never came.
The young man simply repeated the same action, and she could clearly feel his enjoyment.
This... this felt off!
Su Qing had no intention of giving her any rewards.
He was simply stroking her, like a pet, showering her with a master's affection.
Han Jin Xiu finally realized this.
Her eyes widened, and her face grew hot with shame.
She liked treating others like dogs, but only as subordinates to command—never like this!
Even though her mind was filled with resistance, her body betrayed her.
Before she realized what was happening, she had maintained a calm demeanor.
But now that she had understood his intent, everything felt different.
Every time his hand caressed her, her body shuddered slightly.
That hand seemed to have some kind of magic, its touch sending a sensation straight down her spine.
Her body was heating up, and she couldn’t stop herself from letting out soft, comfortable whimpers.
Even though her mind constantly screamed at her to resist, her body lacked the strength to do so.
Her once-dignified gaze turned misty with haze.
No matter how one looked at it, the princess was now obediently enjoying herself.
"Aunt, you really have potential. Just from appearances alone, I wouldn’t have guessed."
Su Qing watched her reaction and sighed in admiration.
She seemed like a strong queen who wanted to dominate others, but deep down, she longed to be dominated.
With a little guidance, she had limitless potential.
Hearing such praise, Han Jin Xiu only felt more humiliated.
How could she... how could she behave like this? It was utterly disgraceful!
The queen naturally wouldn’t surrender so easily.
She opened her mouth to rebuke him, but before she could speak, she was silenced.
"Your performance pleases me. As a reward, I’ll treat you to some ice cream~"
Su Qing’s smile was gentle.
Of course, this ‘ice cream’ wasn’t referring to his fingers.
Han Jin Xiu’s eyes widened in realization.
Moments later—
Su Qing left, satisfied, leaving behind a coughing princess.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
It took her a long time to regain her composure, wiping the sweat from her forehead.
Once she had shaken off that dazed state, she suddenly realized something was wrong.
Where was the information? The valuable intel she had paid such a heavy price for?!
Her eyes blazed with fury.
She had been completely fooled by that scoundrel and had even forgotten to demand the intelligence she needed!
Her mind had gone blank, and she hadn't even noticed when he left!
Just as she was about to erupt in rage, she saw an envelope on the table.
He left this behind!
Could it contain the information she wanted?
The moment that thought crossed her mind, she hurriedly picked up the envelope and read it carefully.
After finishing, her face remained expressionless as she shredded it into pieces.
As expected, she shouldn’t have held any illusions about that little thief.
The message inside read: If you want to know more, show even greater sincerity.
With a loud bang, her sharp high heels struck the ground, leaving a cracked imprint.
Damn it, played again!
She had already given so much, yet he still wasn’t satisfied!
What did he mean by ‘true sincerity’? Was what she had done not enough?
Just what else did he want...?
A sudden realization hit her, and she could no longer hold back her fury—
With a sharp slap, she struck the table.
The priceless table instantly shattered into pieces.
