Su Qing had moved a little farther away and was inspecting his masterpiece.
Hmm, he really was quite talented in this area.
What else needed to be added to the next part?
The young man began thinking seriously.
Goddess Ye struggled not to make a sound, expressing her resistance through silence.
Pretty Maid stood silently to the side, doing her best to become invisible.
In this silent atmosphere, Goddess Ye increasingly felt as if thorns were pricking her back.
After thinking it over just now, he had turned her into this state.
Who knew what he was thinking now, or what he intended to turn her into?
The unknown was the most terrifying thing of all.
"Enough. What exactly do you want?"
Ye Qinglan finally could not endure it any longer.
Her taking the initiative to speak meant that she had already lost this silent confrontation.
Goddess Ye had ample justification for it... For example, wasting time like this was meaningless.
"You can't take it anymore? I was still thinking about adding something else to you."
Su Qing's tone carried a hint of subtle disappointment.
She really wasn't much fun. He had thought she could keep her composure and remain calm the whole time.
But thinking about it, it was understandable.
Although her mind could be called resilient, she had not experienced many setbacks after all.
It was only normal for her to lose her patience a little.
In a sense, he really had helped her undergo a transformation.
"If you have something to say, just say it. Why go out of your way to do this?"
After a brief silence, Ye Qinglan spoke in a low voice.
Feeling the young man's contemptuous gaze, she rarely experienced a sense of frustration and indignation.
"Then I'll say it plainly. I want you to be my underling."
"Do you think I'm worth following?"
Su Qing asked with a warm smile on his face.
Looking at that smile, Ye Qinglan found it especially grating.
After he finished speaking, she finally understood what he meant.
Does he think capturing me means he can make me submit?
Who does he think he's looking down on?!
Earlier, she had deliberately used the Qi Observation Technique to observe him.
But the result had been quite disappointing.
Although he possessed excellent external conditions, he himself was no remarkable talent.
Whether in terms of fortune or destiny, he was the sort of person fit only to be a chess piece.
From every angle, the young man before her was worlds apart from the True Dragon she intended to assist.
Still, ending up in his hands was an unexpected turn of events.
Even when facing a mediocre talent, she had to take him seriously.
With that thought, Goddess Ye simply and decisively shook her head.
"Mm. In that case, our negotiations must have broken down."
Su Qing nodded indifferently.
"Young Master Su, there has never been any conflict between us. Why must you act this way?"
"If you want people to assist you, I can find some talented individuals for you."
"My wish is to relieve the people and save the world. I want to work with people who harbor the greater good of the world."
"Young Master Su is indeed somewhat clever, but you are not someone I can work with."
Ye Qinglan spoke sincerely.
Even after being bullied into this state, she did not display any anger.
Her voice remained as cold as ever, like that of a compassionate Goddess Ye who wished to relieve the people and save the world.
Even now, she still wanted to move him with her rhetoric.
Since you want talented people, I can give you some. Wouldn't that solve everything?
Of course, they would merely be a few random good-for-nothings, completely useless.
As long as she could leave this place, making a promise first would not matter.
"Goddess Ye, didn't I already make myself perfectly clear?"
"I'm a bad person. What meaning does any of this have when you say it to me?"
"Be realistic. Don't waste everyone's time."
Su Qing smiled as he spoke.
While talking, he had already thought of what he needed to do next.
Ye Qinglan had been about to say something else when she saw him bend down and extend his hand.
The next moment, a sudden change occurred.
Su Qing's movements were very slow, carrying an air of seriousness and concentration.
His orderly manner left Pretty Maid staring in fascination.
That serious look... really is quite charming!
Of course, that was on the condition that one ignored what his hand was currently doing.
"You... What meaning is there in doing this?"
Ye Qinglan's voice trembled as she fully displayed her flexibility.
No, if you want me to follow you, shouldn't you be showing respect for talent and treating me courteously?
But what you're doing now is simply as outrageous as it gets!
"It's just nice to look at."
Su Qing spat out four words, then added solemnly,
"You don't understand beauty. That's perfectly normal."
"...!!!"
In an instant, Goddess Ye, who could now stand on only one leg, became so furious that her chest hurt.
"Why are you glaring at me? When your master made you stretch your legs, did you have this same reaction?"
"Put plainly, you just can't treat everyone equally. You're a hypocrite!"
"You?!"
Ye Qinglan completely broke down.
When it came to tormenting someone's state of mind, Su Qing was undoubtedly a professional.
Ye Qinglan was both embarrassed and furious, and her body began to tremble slightly.
Treat everyone equally?
You think you're worthy of comparing yourself to my master?!
The proud Goddess Ye wanted to resist.
Unfortunately, after struggling for a while, she had no choice but to accept the fact that she could not touch him.
Su Qing quietly admired the scene before him, without the slightest intention of stopping.
How should I put it... Seeing you so humiliated really gives me a sense of accomplishment.
Lian Yin watched Goddess Ye with a strange expression.
The little bit of awe she had previously held had completely vanished at this moment.
So Goddess Ye isn't actually that unreachable?
Looking at Ye Qinglan in her current state, all the halo surrounding Goddess Ye in Lian Yin's heart completely shattered.
"Making such a fuss will disturb the others."
In an instant, Ye Qinglan, who had finally managed to steady her emotions, lost control again.
After hearing those words, her Dao Heart surged violently, unable to calm down.
Goddess Ye looked at the smiling young man in disbelief.
At that moment, she truly realized something.
Even if no one could take advantage of you in any way, that did not mean you were absolutely safe.
Someone like him could always think of a way to deal with you.
The human world really is too treacherous!
