284: Chapter 284 Going Against the Grain

Little Yue, who had run back to her room, dove headfirst into her bed, wrapping herself tightly in the quilt like a wriggling caterpillar.

She no longer remembered why Qin Ge had called her over.

Nor did she care about the argument that had occurred.

She was even less envious of Lin Xiaojin receiving Qin Ge's favor.

In her mind, there was only one thought.

"Young Master Qin, he likes me!"

"Young Master Qin, he wants to marry me as an Equal Wife!"

"Yes! Father owed money outside, and those creditors were always threatening to break his legs or burn down our thatched hut. But when I owed Young Master Qin money, he not only gave me the chance to earn it by doing laundry, but he also gave me free food, a free place to stay, and free clothes."

"Young Master Qin must have liked me from the very beginning!"

Little Yue rolled around shyly on the bed, re-wrapping herself in the quilt.

After an unknown amount of time, she poked her small head out from the quilt, her face flushed like a sunset, a hint of panic surfacing in her eyes. "Wait, it seems Lin Xiaojin hasn't married Young Master Qin either!"

"Even the Primary Wife hasn't married Young Master Qin yet they've already shared a bridal chamber. Even if I marry Young Master Qin, I'll only be an Equal Wife, yet I rejected him."

"What if Young Master Qin gets angry with me and stops liking me?"

Little Yue's heart tightened with anxiety.

Should she go back and agree to Young Master Qin?

But she had just rejected him; running back now would be so shameless, wouldn't it?

But if she didn't go back, what if Young Master Qin was angry with her?

...

While Little Yue was fretting next door, Qin Ge had already straightened his clothes and called for the person waiting at Qiao Yingzi's place to come over.

He was in no rush to 'consume' Little Yue.

Given Little Yue's personality, once the relationship was established, she would never have any other thoughts; her whole heart would be devoted to him.

Besides, he had indeed harvested a vast amount of villain points from Lin Xiaojin this time.

For a moment, he was indeed a bit exhausted.

As for Little Yue saying they should wait until after marriage for the bridal chamber?

That was just talk.

With Little Yue's submissive personality, how long could she hold out?

Under an offensive of sugar-coated bullets...

She would be easily handled.

Knock, knock—

A knock sounded at the door.

Qin Ge said calmly, "Come in."

Jiang Ling, wearing a pale green robe, slowly entered the private room. Seeing Qin Ge sitting on the sofa sipping tea, she lowered her head and approached, whispering, "Qin Ge~"

Qin Ge glanced over. Perhaps due to the stark contrast, his gaze was immediately drawn to Jiang Ling's dizzyingly large chest. He said with a calm expression, "Yingzi told me you had something to discuss with me?"

Jiang Ling nodded, her small head trembling slightly. She bit her lip and said with difficulty, "It's still about Lin Yu!"

"That guy actually has a backer in Qingyuan City!"

"Under the joint pursuit of our martial sisters, Lin Yu was at his wit's end, but he managed to escape into the Yue Family manor!"

"I don't know what's going on with that Yue Family in Qingyuan City, but the entire Family is shrouded in terrifying ghostly Qi!"

"Even though I gathered five Junior Sisters, we didn't dare to move against the Yue Family rashly. After all, Ghostly creatures can't be killed."

"Furthermore, I don't know what kind of terrifying existence is hidden within the Yue Family."

"Just the aura alone is enough to make one tremble with fear!"

Qin Ge crossed his legs and took a sip of tea. "So, you want me to step in and help you?"

Jiang Ling said awkwardly, "I know that asking you to help out of the blue is indeed asking too much!"

"But as I've dealt with Lin Yu more, I feel more and more that what the Ghostly creatures of the Nine Chrysanthemum Sect said is true!"

"It must have been that dog, Mysterious Mechanism Master, who betrayed the Celestial Master Sect, causing my sect to wither away, until now only I remain as the last Bloodline in this world!"

The Golden Light Incantation was a secret technique of the Celestial Master Sect!

Let alone Lin Yu, a Disciple of the Xuanji Sect.

Even the Mysterious Mechanism Master had no right to use it!

Moreover, she discovered that the bastard Lin Yu didn't just know how to use the Golden Light Incantation; he was also well-versed in many secret techniques of the Celestial Master Sect.

He was even more proficient in some of those secret techniques than she was!

After all, the Mysterious Mechanism Master was her Celestial Master Grandfather's Junior Brother!

And since she was a child, she had been placed by her Celestial Master Grandfather in the Bright Moon Sect.

After the Celestial Master Sect withered, she no longer had her Celestial Master Grandfather to teach her personally.

In terms of certain techniques, she naturally couldn't compare to Lin Yu, who was guided by the Mysterious Mechanism Master.

When Jiang Ling thought of the Mysterious Mechanism Master and Lin Yu—those traitors who caused the downfall of the Celestial Master Sect—using the sect's secret techniques to swindle people and remain at large, her heart burned with unbearable rage!

Presumably, when her Celestial Master Grandfather placed her in the Bright Moon Sect, he must have foreseen the desperate situation of the Celestial Master Sect and tried to find a glimmer of hope for survival.

At that time, she lacked the ability to save the collapsing sect.

Now, knowing that the Xuanji Sect was the mastermind behind the destruction of the Celestial Master Sect...

If she couldn't take revenge, what was the point of Jiang Ling living in this world?

"Qin Ge, I know about your relationship with Junior Sister Huanhuan, and I also know that Yu'er and Junior Sister Yao Yao are fond of you."

"I hope that for the sake of our sisterly bond, you will help me this once."

Jiang Ling clenched her small fists awkwardly, her moist lips trembling. On her baby-faced countenance, she murmured with a look of utter embarrassment, "I know it's despicable and shameless of me to say this!"

"But I, Jiang Ling, truly have nothing else to offer as a price for your help."

Qin Ge scanned the baby-faced Jiang Ling before him with great interest and said with a chuckle, "How can you belittle yourself like that?"

"In terms of looks, all seven of your martial sisters are top-tier beauties."

"In terms of figure, even Su Yaoyao's proportions would be completely outclassed by yours!"

Gulp!

Noticing Qin Ge's gaze sizing her up from head to toe, Jiang Ling swallowed hard.

She remembered Third Junior Sister's warning:

Don't get close to Qin Ge!

Don't get close to Qin Ge!!

Don't get close to Qin Ge!!!

Qin Ge is a total lecher!!!!

At this moment, she was beginning to believe Third Junior Sister's warning.

After all, Qin Ge's gaze was predatory and completely undisguised.

On one hand, there was the Disciple of the mastermind protected by the Yue Family, a despicable person who stole the secret arts of the Celestial Master Sect!

On the other hand, there was her own pure body.

She couldn't bear to part with either.

But when she thought of Lin Yu healing his injuries under the protection of the Yue Family...

Once his injuries were healed, it would be even harder to kill him.

"Qin Ge..." Jiang Ling said with an embarrassed and troubled expression, "Consider this as me owing you a favor. Can you please not force me?"

"Force you?" Qin Ge feigned ignorance. "What am I forcing you to do?"

Jiang Ling bit her lip shyly, her face turning red as she murmured, "Aren't you only agreeing to help because you want my body?"

Qin Ge smiled and shook his head. "Look at what you're saying. Just based on your relationship with Luo Li and Huanhuan, I couldn't possibly just stand by!"

"After all, if you were in danger, Luo Li and the others wouldn't just sit back and watch."

"As for your body?" Qin Ge looked at Jiang Ling's curvaceous and exquisite figure with great interest, deliberately saying against his true feelings, "You're thinking too highly of yourself. I have no interest in your body."
