Chapter 181: If You Don't Mind, Qing Is Willing to Fulfill Nephewly Duties in Brother Gu's Place! (1)
"Mmm, do you feel it too? He's secretly watching us."
Su Qing thought for a moment and said.
The widow's expression was a little too calm—which didn't help the next phase of the plan.
"Mm."
Nong Ying replied.
Though her voice was flat, a faint blush appeared on her cheeks.
She too could feel the gaze from behind, and it naturally made her a little ashamed.
After all, no matter what, that was her brother-in-law in name!
He must be blaming himself right now, hating his own weakness, desperately wanting to grow stronger, right?
The gentle breeze stirred a sense of serenity within her.
At least, everything she was doing felt like it was paying off.
But Su Qing wasn't about to let things end here.
Such a golden opportunity—how could he not push further?
His hand gently pressed on her smooth forehead, lowering her head.
Nong Ying showed a trace of resistance and lightly struggled.
But with her considerable strength, even a light resistance was enough.
At least here, no one could force her to do anything she didn't want.
"Be good. Didn't we already agree? This is just a simple matter of opening your mouth."
"No man can resist such a stimulus—he'll grow rapidly from the pressure."
"Tang Xuan will gain immense progress, while I gain a formidable enemy. I'm the one losing here, aren't I?"
Su Qing wasn't in a rush. He opted for gentle persuasion.
As a proper gentleman, he always disliked using force.
After saying that, he applied a bit more pressure.
This time, her resistance gradually weakened.
Nong Ying's heart swirled with complex emotions as she slowly gave up resisting.
Why? She wasn't even sure herself.
Maybe it was to push Tang Xuan forward, maybe because of what Su Qing had just said…
She let go of the swirling thoughts and focused entirely on Tang Xuan.
No matter what the truth was, it had to be for the sake of the chosen one.
She firmly believed that the chosen one thrived under adversity—he wouldn't crumble.
All the pressure would only fuel his rise to greatness!
Especially with a life-long nemesis like Su Qing nearby—the effect was extraordinary.
She wasn't tormenting him for its own sake—this was a means to an end.
To sharpen the one she had chosen as heaven's mandate, she had no choice but to keep pressing him.
Once he hit bottom and rebounded, he would soar.
Her mission would then be complete!
Her intention was noble.
But she didn't understand men well enough to know what kind of psychological damage this would do.
Tang Xuan was in utter despair.
He'd been completely cuckolded!
Worse, the villain's method of threatening his sister-in-law was... using him!
He had intended to save her—but became her greatest weakness.
That pain far outweighed anything from her willingness to submit.
Tang Xuan now couldn't open his eyes for more than a few seconds before shutting them again in agony.
He kept praying the nightmare would end—but every time he opened his eyes, that hope was shattered.
The two didn't stop—in fact, they seemed even more intimate.
If he could, he'd rather take her place!
He didn't want his sister-in-law to suffer any longer—none of this should've happened.
He shouldn't have gone deep into enemy territory at night. He shouldn't have been so confident!
Now that he had dragged her into this, how could he ever face her again?!
"Ahhh!!"
He let out a painful roar, as if trying to stop Su Qing.
If he could lure the villain over, maybe his sister-in-law would suffer less.
He would feel better, too.
After that scream, Tang Xuan saw his sister-in-law's body twitch slightly.
But she didn't turn around—she kept going.
Su Qing turned his face this way and casually glanced over.
His eyes were full of contempt, seemingly dismissive.
Oh, wait—he didn't just look contemptuous.
He even waved.
He had no intention of walking over. In fact, almost mockingly, he placed his hand on her head!
The way he stroked her was just like petting a loyal pet!
Realizing that, Tang Xuan nearly blacked out from rage.
Villain—I will kill you, I swear I will!
"He seems a little worked up. You're not worried about overstimulating him?"
Su Qing chuckled.
"If the chosen one can't endure this, how can he hope to shake the world?"
Nong Ying answered calmly.
"True."
Su Qing nodded in agreement, ignoring the protagonist's renewed angry roar.
He lounged lazily in the chair, basking in the warm sun and soft body beneath him.
This was the life!
He even had a date tomorrow—maybe he should prepare?
Once again, the world had aligned in the villain's favor.
The next morning.
Su Qing headed out early to Bibo Lake, just outside the capital.
His appointment? With the aunt of his dear friend Gu.
The capital had its own charm—but the outskirts had a different beauty altogether.
Bibo Lake was hidden deep within towering mountains and rarely known to outsiders.
Only those with invitations had the right to enter.
As Su Qing stepped into the Bibo Lake area, mist began to rise around him.
Everything inside became hazy and indistinct.
Looking back, the path he'd come from was already lost.
It felt as if he had stepped into a dreamlike realm—completely unsure where he was now.
