Chapter 17 I Became the Goddess's Son-in-Law?! (Seventeen)

Back at the General's Mansion, Si Xuansu didn't ask Jiang Yiqing why she wanted to go to the hot spring area. She cooperated with her without saying a word, which moved Jiang Yiqing deeply.

She would occasionally do some strange things, and although the results were always good, those around her probably still found it quite odd, especially Si Xuansu, who was by her side. However, Si Xuansu never asked her why, but instead let her do as she pleased.

Jiang Yiqing naturally wanted to reciprocate the trust placed in her by this goddess. She made a decision: to tell her her secret.

However, such a topic needs a suitable setting, so Jiang Yiqing decided to invite Si Xuansu to soak in a hot spring together, and then tell her about the collection of fragments, the space, and her own background.

As expected, the snowflake-shaped stones flew into the General's Mansion and landed on the open ground. Jiang Yiqing stored all the stones in her spatial storage and arranged them neatly next to the swirling fairy spring.

After she returned to her room, she saw Si Xuansu heading towards the bathhouse. Thinking it was perfect, she quickly called out to her, "Xuansu, let's soak in the hot spring together."

Si Xuansu looked puzzled: "Hot spring?"

“It’s the high-quality spring water I mentioned during the day,” Jiang Yiqing said with a smile.

"Yi Qing, it's your doing again, isn't it?" Si Xuansu was used to it.

Jiang Yiqing smiled.

"But... I don't like soaking in hot springs."

"Why?" Jiang Yiqing asked.

Si Xuansu was still a little embarrassed because she felt her body wasn't pretty. She usually fought real battles, and for a long time, no one had been able to hurt her. But having trained since childhood, how could she possibly have no scars on her body?

Yi Qing wanted to go to the hot spring with her, which made her very excited, but being face to face with her without any cover made her feel scared.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Jiang Yiqing grabbed her sleeve and said, "This hot spring of mine is newly developed. It's the one from during the day. I've already moved it into my space. Xuan Su, I want to tell you more about me."

Jiang Yiqing had mentioned the system before. As for other things, Si Xuansu could probably find out by spending time with her, but this was the first time Jiang Yiqing had spoken to her directly.

“I’ve always felt that you, Yiqing, are blessed with extraordinary luck and good fortune, and now it seems that I was right.”

Jiang Yiqing thought she would be even more surprised, but she didn't expect her to accept such an unbelievable thing so quickly. The goddess is really smart. She said, "But I guarantee that there are still things about me that you don't know."

"Isn't Yiqing from here?" Si Xuansu asked with a smile. She knew this when Jiang Yiqing returned to the manor. The feeling of unfamiliarity she had towards her parents was something that could not be hidden no matter what.

"Wow, that's unbelievable! How come you know nothing about this?" Jiang Yiqing exclaimed. "Then what secrets do I have to hide?"

Si Xuansu was amused by her, patted her head, and said, "Yi Qing and I don't need any secrets between us."

Jiang Yiqing smiled back at her and said, "Then let's go soak in the hot spring in the space together."

Si Xuansu hesitated for a moment, then decided to agree.

"good."

Jiang Yiqing already had a feeling she was going to be incredibly excited about going to soak in a hot spring with her goddess later.

Anything she touched could be brought into the space, so Jiang Yiqing grasped Si Xuansu's hand and brought her into the space.

The space uses the mall's fantasy backdrop as a background, and now it features a landscape of lush bamboo groves and flowing green water. The two main elements are the silver silk spirit tooth and the swirling fairy spring.

“This is the original form that produced the Spirit Fang Fruit,” Jiang Yiqing explained as the two approached the Silver Thread Spirit Fang, which was drooping its branches and leaves and appeared to be asleep. “The Silver Thread Spirit Fang only bears fruit once every hundred years, and only ten fruits are produced at a time. This is one of the nine fragments, but it ended up bearing two fruits. Isn’t that amazing?”

Si Xuansu nodded, showing great interest in these behind-the-scenes stories she didn't know: "So, our Yiqing is quite an excellent gardener."

Jiang Yiqing coughed lightly, blushing slightly, and quickly walked to the front of the Whirlpool Immortal Spring, saying, "This immortal spring is complete, composed of nine fragments. I think soaking in the spring water here will be very beneficial to the body."

Seeing the snowflake-shaped stones, Si Xuansu looked at her with some surprise. Jiang Yiqing said, "It's just as you think. I managed to transport the stones over."

Si Xuansu strolled around the hot spring and nodded in approval: "The scenery here is quite nice."

Jiang Yiqing was overjoyed to receive her praise and bought two hot spring sets from the mall, giving one set to Si Xuansu.

"Yi Qing, you really have everything here." Si Xuansu looked at her and smiled.

A simple smile and a simple compliment made Jiang Yiqing blush. She turned her head away, her eyes darting around, and said, "It's...it's alright."

Since the goddess said so, Jiang Yiqing couldn't help but show off her wealth, so she bought an artificial moon from the mall and placed it in the sky above her space.

Si Xuansu looked up at the "moon" in the sky, its light so bright that it was no less beautiful than the real moon.

However, Si Xuansu quickly withdrew her gaze from the moon and instead stared at Jiang Yiqing, making Jiang Yiqing feel embarrassed.

Just as Jiang Yiqing was about to look away after giving up, Si Xuansu chuckled softly.

"I need to change my clothes."

So you wanted her to turn her head away?!

Jiang Yiqing finally understood, her cheeks flushed red as she turned away and changed her clothes.

She didn't know if Si Xuansu had turned her head, but she didn't dare to look back. Even though she didn't look, Si Xuansu's figure had already automatically appeared in Jiang Yiqing's mind.

Having spent every day together, Jiang Yiqing had seen it countless times, but she had never truly understood it.

She felt like a pervert, but isn't it only human nature to be attracted to a beautiful woman?

Honestly, it would be a shame not to sneak a peek at such a great opportunity.

Jiang Yiqing quickly changed her clothes and turned around casually, only to see that Si Xuansu had already changed her clothes.

Jiang Yiqing felt a little regretful, but there was nothing to regret, because this scene was picturesque enough.

Ripples rose from the nearby green water, and the bamboo grove rustled softly. In the gentle light, Si Xuansu stood a step behind her, her white gauze dress barely covering her thighs, her skin radiating a clean glow, as if she were glowing.

The hot spring water was too hot, and Jiang Yiqing was afraid of getting a nosebleed. Fortunately, the steam made her cheeks flushed and covered in fragrant sweat, so there was no visible sign of a nosebleed.

She looked down and realized that her situation was also a bit bad. She tugged at the hem of her clothes, but the top slipped down, scaring her so much that she dared not pull it any further.

Jiang Yiqing looked around and said, "This is my first time soaking in a hot spring, just like you, Xuan Su."

"Is that so?" Si Xuansu looked away and said in a low voice.

They were so close that Jiang Yiqing noticed when she fluttered her eyelashes; she thought she heard the sound of a butterfly taking flight. And those eyes beneath those eyelashes, bathed in the moonlight, appeared somewhat profound.

"I...I'll go down first." Jiang Yiqing said, carefully bending down and slowly sliding her body from the bank into the spring water.

She had to be very careful with her movements, otherwise she was really worried about exposing herself. After finally getting into the hot spring, Jiang Yiqing breathed a sigh of relief. She felt her face was a little hot, so she submerged her head in the spring water, washed her face, and then came up again.

Si Xuansu had arrived beside her without her noticing; he was so fast that Jiang Yiqing didn't even notice.
