Chapter 8 I Became the Goddess's Son-in-Law?! (Part 8)

After bringing the Golden Dew Cicada home, Jiang Yiqing wanted to give it to Madam Si to raise, but Madam Si gave the flower to her instead, saying that since she had won it, it was better for her to take care of it. So Jiang Yiqing...

After bringing the Golden Immortal Dew Cicada home, Jiang Yiqing wanted to give it to Madam Si to raise, but Madam Si gave the flower to her instead, saying that since she had won it back, it was better for her to raise it.

So Jiang Yiqing took the Golden Immortal Ruilu Chan back to Xiangzhu Courtyard. Madam Si also gave Jiang Yiqing a luminous pearl, praising her as "a pearl that can illuminate the eldest sister's night in the Si family."

Peonies are flowers that truly test a craftsman's skill; novices often fail to grow them within a few days, let alone the prized Golden Immortal Dew Cicada peony. Jiang Yiqing was somewhat afraid of killing the plant, but the system assured her it was alright; she could buy jade dew from the shop every day to water it, and it wouldn't die. This put Jiang Yiqing at ease.

The cicada that had been brought back was placed on the railing in front of the door. Its lush green leaves made the pink flowers appear even more vibrant. The maids in the courtyard stared blankly at the beautiful flower, speechless. Si Xuansu also stopped in front of the cicada, a hint of doubt between her brows.

Seeing this, Jiang Yiqing leaned closer and asked, "Xuansu, what are you thinking about?"

Si Xuansu turned to look at her and said, "That Taoist priest said that ordinary people can't see the golden threads, but I can see them now. How is that possible?"

"Where? Where?" The maids all crowded around to look when they heard her say that the flowers had golden threads, but they saw nothing.

They shook their heads and said, "Young master, are you seeing things? There are no gold threads on it."

Jiang Yiqing said, "Yes, I saw it too."

"Really? Young master." Everyone's eyes widened, but they still couldn't see it.

Jiang Yiqing said to Si Xuansu, "Xuansu, your spiritual power is quite strong, so I can see the golden threads."

“Really? I don’t feel anything,” Si Xuansu said.

“Young Master can wield a sword that startles the clouds and whose blade energy soars to the sky. He was invincible in the capital at the age of twelve. Those young masters from noble families think they are all that, and they have a little martial arts skill. They all get their noses in the air. Which one of them didn’t get a good beating from Young Master?” Zhi Gui said from the side. “So it’s certain that your spiritual power is strong. Young Master, you don’t need to be modest.”

She had no rivals at the age of twelve, which shows that her kung fu was extraordinary. She never expected that the goddess was even more powerful than she had imagined! She looked at her with admiration, which made Si Xuansu look away shyly.

"Zhi Gui, you're exaggerating."

No way.

"Young master, you can see that your spiritual power is also very strong?" Returning to the previous topic, the maids vied to ask Jiang Yiqing.

Jiang Yiqing was too embarrassed to boast in front of them, so she took out a bottle of vision spray from her space. This spray could make people see things that were not normally visible, but the effect only lasted for a dozen seconds.

She sprayed some perfume around their eyes, and they smelled a pleasant fragrance. Their eyes didn't feel uncomfortable, and their surroundings seemed to become brighter. At that moment, they could see the golden threads on the Golden Immortal Dew Cicada.

"Wow, it's real! There are gold threads!" everyone exclaimed.

"Young master, you always have some strange and wonderful abilities, but they're really amazing!"

Jiang Yiqing smiled but didn't say anything.

...

That night, Jiang Yiqing tucked the luminous pearl into her bed, genuinely showing interest in the precious gem.

At night, it emits a soft, white light, with a refreshing and cool feel. Jiang Yiqing caresses the bead, reluctant to let it go.

Si Xuansu was still reading at the table when Jiang Yiqing peeked out from under the covers and said to her, "Xuansu, if we had ten luminous pearls, you wouldn't need to light a lamp to read at night."

Si Xuansu thought to herself, "I don't want to read either, but it feels awkward to rest too early and share a bed with Yi Qing."

"Finding even one luminous pearl is difficult enough, where are we going to find ten?"

Hearing her say that, Jiang Yiqing felt a little bored, as if Si Xuansu was still angry.

“Xuan Su, how about I visit you at the military camp another day? I don’t know if it will bother you, but I’ve never seen how soldiers are trained before. It must be very interesting.”

"Do you still want to present yourself the same way as before? Yiqing said she wasn't used to it." Si Xuansu put down her book, came to the bedside, looked down at her, and said, "Or do you want to appear in the barracks dressed as a woman? With so many men, does Yiqing enjoy being fawned over?"

Jiang Yiqing was just curious about what Si Xuansu looked like when she was training troops, but after hearing what she said, she lost interest. However, she felt like she had been misunderstood.

“Xuan Su, you can do it, so why can’t I?” Jiang Yiqing looked up at her with a stubborn expression.

“…I’ll tell you why you can’t.” Si Xuansu reached out and put his arm around her waist, then kissed her lips deeply. When he saw her eyes widen and look at him in a daze, with tears welling up in them, Si Xuansu reluctantly let go of her and said, “Yi Qing is always like this. It’s like she likes me a lot, but it’s also like I’ve misunderstood her.”

Jiang Yiqing looked at her with a flushed face.

"So you still like it after all?" Si Xuansu smiled and touched her cheek, feeling the silky smooth texture. His mood improved noticeably. "Then I can finally rest easy."

“Xuan Su, just say what you want to say, why do you have to…” Jiang Yiqing hesitated.

"Want to force a kiss on you?" Si Xuansu continued, "Yi Qing, I am your wife. I work hard outside every day. It's not unreasonable to ask you for some compensation."

"You...you..." Jiang Yiqing looked at her, speechless. She had never imagined that the goddess in her heart, who seemed untouched by worldly affairs, had such a side. She said defiantly, "You said you were my wife, so shouldn't I be the one to take the initiative? What are you angry with me for?"

"I had no choice but to show my face in public, but you seem to be enjoying it, Yi Qing," Si Xuan Su said coolly.

"I just want to go to the military camp, why can't I?" Jiang Yiqing asked, deliberately mustering her courage.

"You still don't like me enough. If you could accept me, you wouldn't think like this." Si Xuansu stroked Jiang Yiqing's lower back and used acupressure techniques to make Jiang Yiqing's whole body hot and her mind blank.

"Why?" Jiang Yiqing asked.

A dizzying sensation spun around Jiang Yiqing, and she found herself lying on the pillow with Si Xuansu's face above her. Si Xuansu placed Jiang Yiqing's hand on her waist and said, "Don't ask. I just want to know, would you like me like this?"

Jiang Yiqing looked up and saw her deep and ardent gaze, making it difficult to meet her eyes. But when Jiang Yiqing looked down, she caught sight of her slightly open chest, her beautiful collarbone, so delicate...

Jiang Yiqing blushed instantly. Her hand was still touching Si Xuansu's stomach. When she wasn't using any force, the goddess's abdomen was so supple. Her other hand touched her arm. Due to her profession, Si Xuansu's body fat percentage was relatively low, but she smelled incredibly good. It wasn't just the scent that was fragrant, but also an indescribable sexiness.

That's a foul! It's way too exciting!

Before she could reply to Si Xuansu, Si Xuansu kissed her again.

Jiang Yiqing moaned softly as Si Xuansu gently and tenderly touched her mouth, from the outside in. Jiang Yiqing's brain cells instantly went offline, immersed in the pleasure Si Xuansu gave her, as if she were drowning.

"Breathe, Yi Qing," Si Xuansu whispered in her ear.

Jiang Yiqing's ears were itchy, and her brain was tingling. Her eyes were glistening with something, whether it was tears or sweat, she didn't know. Just as she remembered to breathe, Si Xuansu's hands were already stroking her body.

"I...I..." Jiang Yiqing became completely incoherent.

"Do you like me, Yi Qing?" Si Xuan Su asked.

"..."

"..."

"……like."
