Chapter 77: Use These Feet to Prove Your Sincerity (3)
Nice words, but if only he'd loosen his grip a little, it might be more convincing.
Yet, she couldn't voice these thoughts. Right now, she was undoubtedly at a disadvantage.
"Brother, I... I'm willing."
Long Ye bit her lip, pretending to struggle before finally speaking.
She sighed internally.
This was all to lull him into a false sense of security.
If negotiations failed and he turned into an enemy instead, she would be the sect's sinner.
Given the circumstances, even if he demanded her body, she wouldn't be able to outright refuse.
But he hadn't made such a demand. Compared to that, this request wasn't too excessive.
Using her foot? That didn't even require taking off her clothes. It wasn't a big deal.
Well... she couldn't say it was nothing, but it was still within acceptable limits.
Even if she had no experience and might not satisfy him, this was his idea, not hers.
And honestly, she found it amusing.
Though he had set her up, she could still be the queen!
If she could stomp on this arrogant, smug bastard, it would definitely be satisfying.
Moreover, she could make him willingly submit beneath her feet!
Wasn't this the same as using demonic techniques to control him?
In her mind, the little devil inside her cackled wildly.
The advantage was hers. He still couldn't resist her charm!
Just moments ago, she had feigned reluctance, but now, a mischievous grin flashed across her face before quickly disappearing.
A moment later.
Long Ye leaned back slightly, propping her hands on the table. One delicate foot lifted gently.
As her jade-like foot rose, the anklet on it let out a crisp, melodious chime.
Su Qing remained seated, unmoving, clearly planning to enjoy himself.
After all, it was about testing her sincerity, not about seeking his own pleasure. This was perfectly reasonable.
"Are you ready, brother? I'll make sure you're satisfied."
Long Ye turned her head, her exquisite face showing a sweet smile.
Her black hair slightly covered her earlobes, and her perfect profile was enough to make anyone's heart waver.
"Go ahead."
Su Qing nodded, signaling he was ready.
A minute later.
"Why is it turning out like this?!"
"I can't keep it steady! Can't you change back?"
"What do you mean you don't understand? I'm a witch! Witches know everything! Clearly, the problem is with you..."
Although she had initially struck a perfect pose, looking as if she were well-versed in such things, her actual execution was clumsy beyond belief.
Just moments ago, she had planned to dominate him like a queen. Instead, she was now fumbling like a complete amateur.
Her startled, helpless cries were enough to make any experienced person burst into laughter.
Su Qing was speechless but remained patient in guiding her.
He strongly suspected that if he did nothing, she wouldn't even be able to prove herself.
After some time.
The witch sat on the table, using a tissue to carefully wipe her flawless feet.
She examined them closely, wondering if they had been burned.
That warmth from earlier had been inexplicably intense!
As she recalled the entire experience, a deep frustration crept into her heart.
She had been fully prepared to step on him like a queen, but the reality had turned out completely different.
Her performance had nothing to do with being a queen. Instead, she had resembled a well-trained little toy.
Oh, and an automatic one at that. Just give an order, and it would move on its own.
Shame. An overwhelming, inescapable sense of shame!
But given the situation, she could only think positively.
For instance... at least she had successfully cleared her name. Now, he should finally support her, right?
Su Qing's expression had returned to the same calmness as when he first arrived.
He fastened his belt and regained his composure.
"Brother, now you should believe me, right?"
Long Ye smiled sweetly, her voice gentle.
"Mm, now that the private matter is settled, we can discuss business."
Su Qing nodded, speaking indifferently.
The witch stared blankly at the composed man before her.
Her cherry-pink lips parted slightly, and her eyes were filled with confusion, making her look adorably dumbfounded.
"What? Do you have a problem? Did you really think this meant we could cooperate?"
"That was just your punishment for earlier. Gaining my trust isn't that simple."
Su Qing shook a finger, his tone serious.
"Brother, you clearly said that as long as I showed sincerity, we could move forward!"
Long Ye finally reacted, hurriedly arguing.
"I said there was a possibility of progress. I never promised to cooperate."
"Are you, a member of the Demon Sect, as naive and gullible as a righteous sect's saintess? That's just embarrassing."
Su Qing's eyes were filled with disdain.
Witch: "..."
Her suppressed emotions finally erupted.
This pervert dared to play word games with her, a demon?!
And the worst part—he succeeded!
This was supposed to be her expertise, so how had she fallen for it so easily?!
Rage burned inside her.
Damn it, she couldn't hold back anymore!
Screw it, she was going all in!
Her weakened legs and crushing sense of defeat combined into a double blow.
Not one to have a good temper, the witch snapped. She no longer cared about consequences.
Today, she would make this detestable bastard regret everything!
As for what came after?
"First, clear your thoughts, then act. Who cares if the floodwaters rise?"
Rage surged, and with it, courage.
The witch unleashed her full strength, lunging at Su Qing's neck.
She wanted him to taste death, to regret everything completely!
Su Qing remained seated, motionless, even showing a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
Sigh. He had already given her a chance. They could have just talked this out properly!
Why did she have to fly into a rage and make things even more complicated?
This was not his fault.
To the witch, Su Qing's stillness was nothing more than fear.
A sinister smile curled her lips.
But just as she was about to reach him, a shadowy figure suddenly emerged.
Caught off guard, Long Ye flinched as her wrist was firmly grasped.
She instinctively tried to resist, only to be slammed onto the table with force.
An undeniable strength twisted her arms behind her back.
"The usual rules."
Upon hearing those three words, the witch suddenly felt something rough tightening around her wrists.
Upon closer examination, it was clearly a rope!
