Chapter 154: Sister-in-law's Plea, Goddess Captured; Sudden Twist, the Witch Devoured (2)
In that instant, the fury and despair that had filled his heart vanished almost entirely.
His heart surged with fighting spirit. He silently vowed that no matter what, he would take her away from here!
He would break out with her, no matter how difficult it was!
All his negative emotions disappeared completely. His tolerance turned into silent endurance and patient waiting.
Su Qing caught every subtle change in Tang Xuan's expression and couldn't help feeling a little speechless.
As expected of a protagonist full of love and ideals—so naive and easy to manipulate!
Of course, this kind of manipulation only worked when it came to women—especially beautiful ones.
If it were a man in that position, Tang Xuan wouldn't have had all these dramatic internal monologues.
This protagonist surnamed Tang was, without a doubt, a complete double-standard dog.
But Su Qing didn't say anything to further strike at him.
He knew full well the dangers of overdoing it and was also keenly aware of the identity of the fragile widow before him.
Truthfully, she was the most dangerous person present!
Only the restrictions of the Dao Oath prevented her from acting before her enlightenment.
If he insisted on suppressing Tang Xuan any further, the outcome might backfire badly.
What if he pushed her too far and provoked her into acting?
Compared to that risk, teasing this powerful and high-standing woman was the safer, more calculated approach.
Yeah, it also suited his preferences.
"Since you've said all this, it'd seem heartless of me not to agree."
"But I need to see some sincerity first. Why don't you give me a kiss…"
Su Qing hadn't even finished his sentence before someone acted.
"I'm willing!"
The widow, seemingly afraid he might change his mind, immediately rose on tiptoe without hesitation.
Her stunning face was now tinged with bashfulness, and the beautiful blush only added to her seductive charm.
Su Qing was momentarily stunned by the sight.
He had only meant a kiss on the cheek—what was she planning, a full-blown kiss?
If she were truly a frightened, weak woman, this reaction might be expected.
But she wasn't that kind of person at all!
Which raised the question—was this really a self-sacrificing act of desperation? Or was there something more calculated?
Nong Ying certainly had her own thoughts.
She had wanted to temper Tang Xuan, but that didn't mean she wanted to see him tormented so terribly.
She wasn't happy about it, and naturally, she wanted to make that known.
Take this moment, for example.
It looked like she was kissing him out of desperation, but it was a deliberate move with multiple layers!
After all, his many other lovers were all right here!
They were standing together peacefully now, but clearly, there were unspoken tensions.
She suspected they had already been harboring dissatisfaction toward each other for a while—and wouldn't miss this opportunity.
There's no way a man could come out of this without suffering some serious chaos!
She was basically handing him a perfect storm on a silver platter.
And on top of that, it would surely fuel Tang Xuan with renewed passion and motivation.
He must be burning with fury now, desperate to rescue her!
In short, the goddess's plan was thoughtful and flawless!
As she entertained these thoughts, Nong Ying leaned in for the kiss.
During the process, she naturally used illusion to conceal herself.
Even so, she still felt a bit uneasy.
Despite the illusion, their proximity made her feel awkward.
Face-to-face from such a short distance—anyone would feel a bit off.
But this should be enough. The others should be feeling the heat by now, right?
While she was thinking this, she saw Su Qing slightly frown.
"No feeling at all. Aren't you supposed to be a married woman? Why does your kiss feel like a clueless amateur?"
"Totally unprofessional. Guess I'll have to teach you myself."
As he spoke, Su Qing wrapped his arm around her waist without hesitation and pressed a kiss on her lips.
French kiss, anyone?
This time, it was completely different from earlier.
The earlier sensation was no better than a kiss on the skin. The goddess clearly lacked experience, so her simulation felt off.
But this time—it was the real deal.
Gone was the awkward stiffness. It was warm, soft, fragrant, and absolutely delicious.
Clearly, the goddess hadn't expected this at all.
As a seasoned veteran, he wasn't about to give her time to react.
He had to take advantage of every moment before she activated her secret techniques!
This was something he earned—she had already agreed to it!
Nong Ying didn't even have time to process what was happening before her mind went hazy and unfocused.
She had let her guard down and fallen for it!
She hadn't activated her illusion in time because she was too shocked by what he said.
No one had ever dared call her weak or inexperienced before!
She was a genuine genius—no one could deny that.
To make matters worse, the scene she had anticipated—other women pulling her away—never happened.
With so many factors combined, the goddess finally showed a rare side of herself.
Once she snapped out of it, she clumsily pushed the boy away.
Always calm and composed, today she was finally broken.
Her prideful moment of illusion hadn't even activated—her purity was truly stolen!
But… why had this happened?
She had accounted for everything—so why did nothing go as planned?
Weren't his other women supposed to be furious and drag her away?
Why didn't they interfere? Why did they even let him do it twice?
And even after that… they still didn't react?
They just stood there watching in silence? Really?!
The women were indeed watching the drama unfold, each with different thoughts.
The candy-like goddess just gave a soft "hmph," clearly used to this sort of thing.
There was nothing she could do about it anyway.
