Chapter 44: Wanting to See the High and Mighty Goddess Kneel Before Me
At that moment, a gentle breeze swept through the courtyard, rustling the leaves.
Yun Rong quickly turned to look in that direction.
The faint rustling of grass and wind put her on edge.
She glanced around like a thief, terrified of being seen.
Like… a rabbit cautiously scanning for predators, an unexpectedly adorable sight.
Only after confirming that no one was around did she finally let out a sigh of relief.
Caution was necessary.
Her disheveled clothing, trembling legs, and voluptuous body quivering slightly all told the tale.
Her breathtaking face was flushed, her water-like eyes misty with lingering desire and haze.
There was no need to check her clothes—just looking at her expression made it clear what had just happened.
This was still the courtyard, and though it was quiet, distant voices could be heard.
"Aunt Yun, you seem very nervous."
Su Qing reached out and stroked her long hair, his tone as gentle as ever.
He knew for certain that no one would come, but he chose not to share this information.
"This… this isn't a good place. Let's go inside, okay?"
Yun Rong's voice carried an unmistakable urgency.
She had been caught off guard and bullied in such a setting—there was no way she wanted it to continue!
Before she could say more, her lips were sealed once again.
The soft and delicate big sister pushed at Su Qing, trying to put some distance between them.
"Aunt Yun, there's something I've wanted to tell you. I hope you won't mind."
Su Qing finally released her lips, still holding her in his embrace.
"S-Speak quickly."
Yun Rong struggled to suppress the strange sensations coursing through her.
Realizing they were still outside made everything feel even more intense.
"Actually, I've always wanted to see a high and mighty goddess kneel before me."
"Aunt Yun, would you grant me this wish?"
His voice carried an almost pleading tone.
"H-How can you say that?!"
Yun Rong gasped instinctively.
Kneeling… wasn't that just kneeling before him?
Such a request was far too excessive!
"You won't do it? That's fine. I would never force Aunt Yun to do something she dislikes."
Su Qing sighed lightly.
"I-I can do it!"
Yun Rong snapped out of her thoughts and blurted out.
He wouldn't force her, but what about her obedient junior?
If she didn't comply, he had no reason to hold back with Ye Xueyi!
To prevent that from happening, she had no choice but to suffer in her stead.
It was normal for young men to have such thoughts.
If fulfilling his wish could bring them closer, wouldn't that be beneficial?
Su Qing remained silent, his eyes filled with anticipation.
"Honestly, I just can't win against you…"
Yun Rong's earlier frustration faded as she met his gaze.
After all, he was just… a young man.
She smiled indulgently, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear.
The graceful and elegant motion carried an underlying hint of flirtatious allure.
This tenderness and charm—she gave it all to Su Qing alone.
It was incredibly fulfilling.
Seeing the boy's infatuated expression, an absurd thought flashed through Yun Rong's mind.
Did this count as an older woman preying on a younger man?
With that thought lingering, she slowly lowered herself to her knees.
Her eyes lowered, a flicker of guilt passing through them.
This wasn't just for her junior—it was also a perfect opportunity to infiltrate the enemy's ranks unnoticed.
After all, she wasn't merely an outcast of the Heavenly Dao Sect.
She was a double agent!
But wasn't she using him in the process?
He had been so sincere with her, yet she had kept so many secrets…
"Aunt Yun, I have a small request…"
Su Qing's voice carried a hint of awkwardness as he looked down at the kneeling beauty before him.
After hearing his request, Yun Rong bit her lip but eventually nodded.
It was excessive—but the guilt from her deception weighed on her heart.
If she refused, she would feel even worse.
The service began.
Though inexperienced, she was eager to learn.
Before long, a series of muffled coughs echoed through the courtyard.
A certain social-anxious bodyguard, for some reason, had exposed her presence.
She crouched at the corner of the wall, covering her ears like an ostrich, refusing to listen to the sounds coming from the courtyard.
I didn't hear it, I didn't hear it, I didn't hear anything—ahhhh!
Despite her attempts to block it out, the noises kept replaying in her mind.
Her delicate ears burned red, a flush impossible to hide.
Even with her mask on, her face was surely just as red.
For someone like Shenyue, who had never experienced anything like this, the scene was far too stimulating.
Inside the Ye Residence.
Ye Xueyi returned to her room, her emotions complicated, only to find someone already waiting for her.
A beautifully dressed mature woman had been waiting for quite some time.
"Did the goddess visit him again?"
The Fifth Elder's tone carried a hint of accusation.
"Is there a problem?"
Ye Xueyi's voice was as cold as ever.
"Not necessarily. But for the goddess to interact with the target so frequently—what progress has been made?"
"How is the plan unfolding? What stage are we at?"
The elder's skepticism was evident.
She suspected the goddess had developed unnecessary feelings for the boy.
If personal feelings interfered, how could the plan move forward?
"I…"
Ye Xueyi's usual cold composure wavered, her response hesitant.
Progress? Developments? The plan?
There was nothing.
She had failed to control Su Qing and couldn't even discern whether the intelligence he provided was true or false.
"Goddess, you haven't fallen for him, have you?"
The elder's eyes narrowed slightly.
Such doubts were reasonable.
Their interactions were far too frequent, yet nothing of value had been obtained.
The elder feared that the goddess was being drawn into mortal attachments, forgetting the plan entirely.
"How could that be?!"
Ye Xueyi immediately denied it.
But her denial lacked conviction.
Especially when she recalled Su Qing's reactions today, her heart was in turmoil.
Yet these matters… she could never speak of them.
The things that had transpired between them could never be known!
"Sigh, goddess, I hope you understand what's at stake."
"Remember, you do not carry this burden alone—the entire sect trusts in you!"
The Fifth Elder sighed.
Ye Xueyi remained silent.
Yes, she could not betray their expectations.
There was an old saying: Hesitation leads to disaster!
Now was the time to make a decision.
Her eyes clouded with uncertainty.
Unseen forces were already pushing her down a path she could no longer control.
