Chapter 4: No Choice, I Have to Ask the Goddess to Assist My Cultivation
Smack!
"Do you understand now? Confession will be met with leniency, resistance with severity!"
Smack! Smack!
"You really are stubborn. As expected, you have a strong will!"
Smack! Smack! Smack!
"Are you going to talk or not? Speak! Refusing to comply will only bring you more suffering!"
"I advise you, madam, to cooperate with me obediently."
Su Qing interrogated with a stern expression, occasionally raising the small leather whip in his hand and striking down.
At the same time, the graceful and curvaceous figure of the extraordinary goddess flickered before his eyes.
The whipping continued without pause.
At first, the goddess remained silent.
After more than ten minutes, even she started to show signs of emotion.
What kind of interrogation was this? This was pure nonsense!
Because... he hadn't asked a single question!
Finally!
"Ask! What exactly do you want to ask?!"
Ye Xueyi couldn't bear it anymore and shouted in anger.
He kept demanding that she confess, yet he hadn't asked a single question. What was this supposed to be?!
He was just using it as an excuse to whip her!
"What's this? Already losing patience? I thought you could hold out a little longer."
"As a goddess, you should maintain your cold and aloof persona. No matter what I do, you shouldn't even flinch."
Su Qing's face showed a hint of boredom as he spoke.
Hearing the slight contempt in his tone, Ye Xueyi was seething.
Lose patience? As if she would!
He was a shameless villain, yet he dared to humiliate her like this!
"Right now, you look quite good, but I don't particularly like it."
"Compared to this, I much preferred the way you were calling me 'big brother' in that sweet, whimpering voice earlier."
"After all, it was the first time I'd ever heard a woman speak such deep words of adoration!"
Su Qing immediately followed up with another jab.
"You... You villain! What exactly do you want?!"
Ye Xueyi's fair and delicate face turned bright red, and she directly cut him off.
Thinking back to the words she had forced herself to say earlier, she was overwhelmed with shame and fury.
At the time, he had surely been secretly mocking her, knowing full well what she was doing!
It was like a public execution.
"It's simple. I want you, the goddess, to become my subordinate."
Su Qing spoke with a kindly smile, yet his words were even more humiliating.
"Delusional!!"
"A treacherous villain like you, flattering those above while trampling those below, isn't even worthy of carrying my shoes!"
Ye Xueyi rejected him without a moment's hesitation, her tone filled with disgust and resistance.
In fact,
If not for the strict upbringing she had received since childhood, she might have spat out even harsher words.
"Ah, madam, since you refuse, I have no choice but to take the lesser option and ask you to assist me in my cultivation."
Su Qing shook his head helplessly.
This goddess might look cold and alluring, but she was also sharp-tongued and impossible to tame!
Even if she could be subdued, it would take far too long.
Since that was the case, he might as well take advantage of the immediate benefits.
"I won't help you with anything!"
Ye Xueyi spoke coldly.
She had already made up her mind—she would never cooperate, no matter what.
"I don't need your help. I can do it all myself."
"I know that your physique is the Fire Virtue Dao Body, a rare and extraordinary dual cultivation furnace."
"You possess the Merit Fire that rivals the Nirvana Flames. Through dual cultivation, the other party benefits greatly."
"So, I shall reluctantly step in as your husband and consummate our marriage tonight."
Watching the growing panic in her expression, Su Qing spoke with a calm demeanor.
"You wretched villain, do you really intend to continue down this path?!"
"Do you even understand who I am? As the chief true disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect... If you dare to touch me, there will be no turning back for you. Don't bring about your own destruction!"
Ye Xueyi's face showed a flicker of panic before she forced herself to remain composed and issued a threat.
She had never imagined that this scoundrel would know her so well.
Tonight's plan had been flawless. She had never considered such an outcome.
Now, all she could do was make a desperate attempt to dissuade him with an empty threat.
"Madam, are you actually concerned for me? Should I feel honored?"
Su Qing flashed a satisfied smile.
There wasn't a hint of panic on his face. Instead, his gaze grew even more aggressive.
Ah, what a classic moment—a proud heroine, disgraced!
If he didn't follow through, he'd be wasting the opportunity.
"You... shameless scoundrel!"
Ye Xueyi looked at the young man's smiling face and felt a chill run down her spine. Weakly, she let out a reprimand.
It was the only thing she could do now, as the only part of her body still free was her mouth.
And right now, that was the only thing she could keep firm.
"Please don't praise me, madam. I might get arrogant."
Su Qing raised a finger and wagged it slightly.
His finger traced along her delicate collarbone, slowly descending into the depths below.
As his finger slipped inside, countless bold thoughts flooded his mind.
It seemed like this could hold wine, and it probably wouldn't spill.
But for now, although he had the wine, the person involved wasn't cooperating. He could only put it on hold.
There would be plenty of chances later.
"You will regret this."
Ye Xueyi's crimson eyes darkened with a chilling haze.
She fixed her cold, hateful gaze on the villain before her, her voice thick with warning, hoping to make him reconsider.
However.
"If I do nothing now, that would be my real regret."
Su Qing responded honestly.
The moment he knocked out the protagonist, there was no turning back.
A villain had to see things through to the end—hesitation would only turn him into an expendable side character.
Ye Xueyi was only bound from the chest up, leaving everything else unrestricted.
His hands effortlessly undid the sash of her wedding dress, loosening the fabric below her chest.
"If you stop now, I will let the past go. Nothing is more important than your own life."
Ye Xueyi felt the cool air against her exposed skin, her breath growing slightly unsteady.
"Let the past go? Madam, I think you're mistaken. You were the one who attacked me first."
"I did no such thing—"
"Oh? Do you need me to go over everything that just happened?"
"...."
"So, why not reconsider becoming my subordinate?"
"In your dreams!"
"What a pity."
Despite his regretful sigh, Su Qing's smile only grew brighter.
His hands closed around her long, shapely legs, her toned thighs smooth and firm beneath his touch.
The goddess knew exactly what was coming.
Desperate, she raised her leg in an attempt to kick him away.
But all it did was add to the moment's intensity.
It wasn't long before her body went limp, drained of all strength.
Sensing the impending disaster, the goddess abandoned her panic.
"I will have my revenge."
Ye Xueyi gritted her teeth, her voice icy with hatred.
And after saying that, she resolved to remain silent, refusing to respond further.
But as Su Qing truly began, despite her resistance, a stifled moan escaped her lips.
Within it, traces of shame and pain could not be concealed.
Thus, the goddess quietly fell from grace!
