Chapter 18 I Became the Goddess's Son-in-Law?! (Eighteen)

Now that they were so close, Jiang Yiqing became so nervous that she didn't dare look at Si Xuansu, her eyes fixed on the whirlpools in the hot spring. The Whirlpool Immortal Spring, as the name suggests, was filled with whirlpools…

When they got this close, Jiang Yiqing didn't know where to look. The reflections in the water were mesmerizing, and the beauties on the water were like rainbows. One goddess was already enough to dazzle people, but now there were two. Who could resist?

Whirlpool Spring, as the name suggests, is a hot spring with whirlpools all over it. The ripples are very fine and the shapes are varied, adding to the beauty and charm of the hot spring.

The hot spring water is milky white and doesn't have the pungent smell of sulfur. Instead, it has a faint fragrance. The moment you enter the water, you feel completely relaxed, which is more effective than any massage.

She didn't speak, and neither did Si Xuansu. Fearing the silence would deepen, Jiang Yiqing asked, "Xuansu, do you find this hot spring comfortable? How's the water temperature?"

"The water temperature is just right, it's very comfortable," Si Xuansu said.

"That's good." Then Jiang Yiqing couldn't think of anything to say, and racked her brains to come up with a sentence, "You usually practice martial arts and military training, and I feel that it is hard for you. You must have accumulated a lot of fatigue. Why don't you soak in this hot spring more often? I think it can relieve your fatigue."

"Thank you." Si Xuansu met her gaze but didn't say whether she agreed or not.

Jiang Yiqing froze, unable to move, as she was being stared at. She saw something unspoken in her eyes.

Si Xuansu sighed softly and said, "Yi Qing, come here, let me wash your hair."

"?" Jiang Yiqing was a little stunned, then shook her head, "How could I trouble you?"

“It’s no trouble at all,” Si Xuansu insisted.

Jiang Yiqing felt embarrassed to refuse her, so she moved closer and sat down in front of Si Xuansu.

The swirling spring water can cleanse the body of all impurities, so the so-called hair washing was nothing more than using his fingers to comb Jiang Yiqing's hair.

Jiang Yiqing felt her fingers stroking her scalp, bringing a tingling sensation. She didn't know that her scalp was so sensitive.

Si Xuansu was incredibly strong, yet extremely gentle at this moment. After massaging the acupoints on the top of her head, Jiang Yiqing felt so comfortable that she wanted to collapse into the hot spring.

She leaned against the rock behind her to keep herself from slipping.

The originally glossy black hair in Si Xuansu's hands became even more lustrous and smooth, making it irresistible to hold and caress.

Jiang Yiqing was almost asleep when she opened her eyes and saw Si Xuansu's body very close to hers, practically trapping her on the shore and leaving her with nowhere to retreat.

The clear water revealed every part of her body; some pink wounds added a touch of disheveled yet fragile beauty. Jiang Yiqing looked up and saw water droplets condensing at the ends of her hair, like gemstones. However, when she met her eyes, Jiang Yiqing realized they were the most dazzling gemstones, made even more alluring by the moisture.

Si Xuansu helped her drape her hair behind her back. This was the first time she had seen Yi Qing's wet hair up close. She had thought it was so beautiful before, how could someone be so beautiful right after taking a bath?

Just like a lotus emerging from clear water, as if it were created by his own hands, Si Xuansu stroked the ends of her hair, gazing at her unguarded face, her heart growing increasingly uneasy.

Jiang Yiqing blushed even more as she watched her stare at her without saying a word.

Finally, Si Xuansu let go of her hand and told Jiang Yiqing that she was done washing her hair. Jiang Yiqing quickly said, "I'll wash your hair for you too."

Si Xuansu looked slightly awkward and said, "I can do it myself."

Jiang Yiqing was surprised to be rejected. Why? She had already washed her hair, so why couldn't she?

"Xuan Su, you've already helped me wash, so I want to help you too!" Jiang Yiqing said somewhat spoiledly, insisting on going around to her back.

Si Xuansu looked helpless, but she did not refuse her.

Jiang Yiqing had only taken two steps when her foot slipped. It turned out that the ground of the hot spring was made of stone, and some of it became very slippery due to the flow of water. Jiang Yiqing stepped on a large stone and fell into the water.

Si Xuansu reacted quickly and reached out to pull her up, but in the water, her body couldn't be as agile as it was on land. Jiang Yiqing's fall was so sudden that she fell down with her.

Jiang Yiqing felt as if her whole body was immersed in water. She subconsciously closed her eyes, but it was very quiet around her. When she opened her eyes, she saw Si Xuansu staring at her intently.

They were so close at that moment, their bodies pressed together, their long hair intertwined. Logically, they should have surfaced as soon as possible, but Jiang Yiqing froze and did nothing. She stared at her quietly for a few seconds, and Si Xuansu's expression changed.

There was an indescribable feeling in her eyes, as if she were gazing at her body and soul from the depths of her being.

None of them moved, but Jiang Yiqing belatedly noticed that small bubbles were rising in front of her.

She couldn't hold her breath any longer; she felt the water pressure coming at her from all directions. To breathe, she had to float to the surface.

She tried to lift her arm upwards, but her arm was quickly pulled back.

Jiang Yiqing looked down and saw that Si Xuansu had grabbed her arm.

She was surprised, but Si Xuansu was much stronger than her, and she was pulled into her arms.

Before Jiang Yiqing could react to what was happening, Si Xuansu wrapped her arms around her waist. Jiang Yiqing was so surprised that she swallowed a mouthful of water.

She felt a stinging sensation in her nose and panicked. She struggled a few times in Si Xuansu's arms, but soon her lips were sealed by soft lips.

Jiang Yiqing's eyes widened. A glint of light flashed in the depths of Si Xuansu's eyes. Due to lack of oxygen, Jiang Yiqing's lips parted, and Si Xuansu immediately and nimbly slipped inside.

From the point where their lips met, the air they needed to live on flowed in. Like a fish desperately needing air, she nestled against her greedily, absorbing it with abandon.

The two exchanged breaths underwater, their bodies pressed close together. Jiang Yiqing was no longer afraid, forgot about time, and stopped thinking about anything.

After a long while, Si Xuansu swam to the surface with her. The two of them surfaced, their hair clinging to their necks and shoulders, like two mermaids, intertwined, gazing at each other in fascination, neither of them speaking.

When she regained consciousness, Jiang Yiqing suddenly realized what had happened.

She... actually kissed the goddess underwater! And now, they're in direct contact!

"Do you like what you see?" Si Xuansu asked.

Looking at the wounds on her body, Jiang Yiqing thought that the hot spring could help her heal these wounds and make her never get hurt again. She felt that these wounds gave her an impulse to protect her and ignited her desire.

"I like it." Jiang Yiqing pressed her lips to her skin with tenderness and passion, and said, "Xuansu, my wife, I will always protect you."
