Gu Jian would naturally think so.
But at this point, I won't say anything that might spoil the mood.
Whether it was casual or not was unimportant to Gu Jian; he simply wanted to subdue the person in front of him.
Looking at the person he was holding in his arms, Gu Jian smiled. "How could that be, Queen Shiyu? Seeking pleasure is the nature of all living beings. It's just that I'm very curious about something."
"What's up?"
Lin Shiyu asked in a soft voice, her body rising and falling gently as she was held in Gu Jian's arms.
Her gaze towards Gu Jian was dreamy, and her red lips almost touched his face.
Looking at her stunningly beautiful face, Gu Jian asked, "With Queen Shiyu's status and abilities, finding an excellent partner would be a piece of cake. Why then did Queen Shiyu hold a poetry gathering to recruit her confidants?"
Lin Shiyu was immediately surprised.
I didn't expect Gu Jian to ask such a question.
These questions are somewhat presumptuous for a queen.
However, Lin Shiyu was not angry.
She smiled and said, "To be honest, Mr. Zimei, there is another reason for inviting you into my inner circle this time."
"Before this, I had never thought of taking in any guests."
"Oh? Never?"
This time it was Gu Jian's turn to be surprised.
Looking at Gu Jian's surprised expression, Lin Shiyu's eyes held a hint of resentment. "Mr. Zimei, in your heart, is Shiyu such a casual person?"
"Forehead."
Looking at the person he was holding in his arms, at the shy face so close to his, Gu Jian didn't know what to say.
That was what he originally thought.
He was still thinking that he had subdued this fickle and promiscuous woman without feeling any guilt.
But things weren't as I thought?
Unaware of Gu Jian's thoughts, Lin Shiyu parted her alluring red lips and explained, "This time, Shiyu actually wants to find a great sage with extraordinary talent and wisdom."
"I planned to introduce him to my sister and have him be her right-hand man. But I didn't want to attract attention, so I held a poetry gathering instead."
A capable assistant?
Gu Jian was surprised and asked, "The purpose of Queen Shiyu's poetry gathering is to help the Empress?"
"Um!"
Lin Shiyu nodded gently and said, "My sister has great ambitions; she wants to unify the entire human realm."
"But with the current strength of our Demon Kingdom on the Other Shore, it is simply impossible to do so."
"My sister often suffers from insomnia, and Shiyu sees it all and feels sorry for her."
"Shiyu once suggested that we follow the example of the Demon Kingdom and recruit some human cultivators to help alleviate her worries, but she refused."
"My sister is arrogant, but I'm afraid she doesn't trust anyone."
"I had no choice but to come up with this method. If the person is talented and trustworthy, my sister will definitely accept my help."
"That's why Shiyu organized this poetry gathering, not only to select talent but also to personally oversee the process..."
"So that's how it is."
Gu Jian suddenly realized and continued, "So, Queen Shiyu, do you want me to help the Empress? But writing poetry and managing state affairs are completely different. A person who writes good poetry may not necessarily be good at managing state affairs."
Lin Shiyu said in a soft voice, "Mr. Zimei is too modest. Shiyu trusts her own judgment and believes that with Mr. Zimei's abilities, he can definitely help my Other Shore Demon Kingdom."
"But now, some minor accidents have occurred."
"What accident?" Gu Jian asked in surprise.
Looking at Gu Jian's handsome face, Lin Shiyu blushed slightly and said leisurely, "Originally, Shiyu's purpose in organizing this was only to help my sister select talents. But now... Shiyu has become entangled in it."
"I'm not afraid of Mr. Zimei making fun of me, but every poem that Mr. Zimei wrote at the poetry gathering deeply moved Shiyu."
"Shiyu feels that Mr. Zimei is a gift from heaven to Shiyu."
Gu Jian's body trembled slightly.
Lin Shiyu continued slowly, "Once, when I dreamt, I always dreamt of someone. When I was in danger, he would come to my rescue, riding on a seven-colored cloud..."
"The dream was hazy, and Shiyu couldn't see his face clearly, but he was definitely her destined one. The moment Shiyu saw Mr. Zimei, she felt that he was the person from her dreams..."
"Shiyu's dream has come true!"
Her soft voice carried a hint of shyness.
Her words were also very subtle.
But Gu Jian understood what she said.
She said he was her soulmate.
Gu Jian found it unbelievable that Lin Shiyu would say such a thing.
Does this mean she's fallen for him?
Even if it hasn't happened yet, there's probably already a strong sense of goodwill.
This made Gu Jian feel embarrassed.
He came with a specific purpose in mind.
Subduing her was his goal.
But she actually had such feelings for him?
In addition, Gu Jian also thought of his good junior brother Ye Chen.
In almost all novels, the trope of beautiful women and serendipitous encounters is that they are meant for those destined for greatness.
Without a doubt, if he hadn't come to the Netherworld City...
The person standing here right now should be Ye Chen.
So, does that mean Gu Jian stole Ye Chen's destined lover and also gave him a huge, sexy green hat?
Thinking about this made me feel a little smug.
After a moment of sympathy for Ye Chen, Gu Jian smiled and said, "Queen Shiyu, I didn't expect you to think so highly of me. In that case, I will do my best to help you."
"Mr. Zimei, thank you."
Queen Lin Shiyu was overjoyed upon hearing this. She looked at Gu Jian's handsome face, her alluring beauty slightly flushed, and said, "Mr. Zimei, can Shiyu... kiss you now?"
