54: Don't you feel any remorse?

"What?"

Chen Qingxuan's mouth hung open, thinking he had misheard.

"I told you to take off your clothes... and come inside with me!" Jiang Susu repeated, her cold tone carrying an overbearing authority that brooked no argument.

"Wait... what?"

Chen Qingxuan was even more bewildered.

He couldn't help but swallow hard, forcing a smile. "Susu, this is... Brother doesn't understand what you mean."

"Don't understand? Or... do you still look down on me?"

Jiang Susu asked in return.

She walked toward Chen Qingxuan, the corners of her mouth curling up... but paired with that piercing gaze, it couldn't be called a sweet or gentle smile.

Instead, it gave off a sense of... déjà vu, as if she were inspecting her prey!

*Gulp.*

Chen Qingxuan couldn't help but take a step back.

He was all too familiar with this look. Back then, the reason he had been so eager to send Jiang Susu to Yihua Palace was precisely because she had looked at him like that.

For some reason, it always gave him a chilling sensation down his spine.

Especially now, the aggressiveness in Jiang Susu's beautiful eyes... seemed even more intense than before.

It would have been fine if she were like this with everyone... but she only showed it in front of him!

Chen Qingxuan's heart raced. "Susu... what are you talking about, looking down on you... Brother doesn't understand... Did your Revered Master tell you the truth?"

"You heartless man... do you still think I'm the same fool I was back then?"

Jiang Susu asked herself rhetorically.

heartless man?

Chen Qingxuan was completely baffled.

Before he could ask, Jiang Susu began to speak with a face full of grievance, "Toying with my feelings when I was young, doesn't your conscience hurt?"

"Wait, wait, wait... Big Sister, what are you talking about?"

Chen Qingxuan looked like he was questioning his very existence.

What did she mean by toying... with her feelings when she was young?

If someone who didn't know the truth heard this, they'd think he was some kind of inhuman beast!

He hadn't done anything!

"Heh~" Jiang Susu sneered, staring at Chen Qingxuan like a tiger watching its prey. "When it was just the two of us, you called me your 'dear little sister.' Now that you're surrounded by women in Hundred Flowers Tower, you call me 'Big Sister'..."

"Wait a moment."

Chen Qingxuan hurriedly cut her off.

Facing Jiang Susu's baseless resentment, he was getting scared. "Susu, is there some misunderstanding between us? There must be a misunderstanding, right?"

"Misunderstanding?" Jiang Susu sneered and asked back, "Back then, you sold me to Yihua Palace..."

"I didn't sell you... that was just playing along with your Revered Master."

"What a fine 'playing along'!" Jiang Susu gritted her teeth and said resentfully, "You repeatedly said you'd wait for me to grow up and take me as your wife... but just to get rid of me... you were willing to bear the infamy of selling me just to push me away... I wish you really had sold me for profit... rather than because you were disgusted by me!"

"Since you look down on me so much... why did you toy with my feelings in the first place?!"

"?"

Chen Qingxuan was dumbfounded.

Heavens have no eyes... when did he ever toy with her!

"Susu, listen to me... Yihua Palace is a Cultivation Holy Land that countless Cultivators dream of... I didn't send you there because I was disgusted by you, I did it for your growth... Brother isn't disgusted by you!"

"Are you sure you aren't disgusted?"

"I'm sure!"

"Fine then... take off your clothes and come inside with me."

"Huh?"

Chen Qingxuan was stunned.

Looking at the beautiful face of the stunner before him, he swallowed. "This, this, this... Susu, it's not that Brother is disgusted by you... it's just that we haven't seen each other in so many years, and as soon as we meet, you say such bizarre things... Setting aside whether I'm afraid of a honey trap... I'm not the kind of beast who is ruled by his lower half!"

"Heh... still acting all upright with me, are you?"

Jiang Susu was so angry her teeth itched.

"I've always been an upright person!" Chen Qingxuan said solemnly. "Don't look at the fact that I opened Hundred Flowers Tower; we really aren't a Brothel. Formally, it's called the Socialite Cultivation Office. Our main business is Cultivation, and our secondary business is art... Being a playboy is just the world's misunderstanding of me. Surely you aren't that ignorant too?"

"Then what about Qingxue?"

Jiang Susu interrupted coldly;

Meeting Chen Qingxuan's startled gaze, she said chillingly, "Back then, you fooled me by saying I was too young and wouldn't even let me hug you. I foolishly thought you were an upright man... but as it turns out, Qingxue was clearly just as young as me... yet you forced her to be your Cauldron... while throwing me away to Yihua Palace."

"Answer me... why can't I be that Cauldron?!"

"..."

Chen Qingxuan was speechless.

A Cauldron... is that supposed to be something good?

Besides, he never used the Little Pitiful One as a Cauldron!

Hearing this from Jiang Susu now, he didn't even need to think to know... the Little Pitiful One must have been venting about his 'crimes' behind his back.

But as for these crimes... only he knew how wrongly he was being accused!

"Susu... if Brother says all of this is a misunderstanding... would you believe me?" Chen Qingxuan looked up at her, speaking with a hint of weariness.

"I do!"

"You... you do?"

"Yes, as long as you do to me everything you did to Qingxue... I'll believe you!"

"Wait... I'm not joking with you."

"I'm not joking either."

Jiang Susu raised a jade-like hand and pointed threateningly at Chen Qingxuan. "You only have two choices today. Either you take off your clothes voluntarily... or I strip them off you by force. Choose!"

"..."

Chen Qingxuan's lips twitched violently.

He looked at her face, which could only be described as that of a stunner, her graceful and curvaceous figure, and especially her long, snowy-white legs that reflected the shimmering light... like the most beautiful jade pillars in the world!

To be honest, as a normal man, facing such a stunner who wanted to give herself to him for free... it would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted.

But when this beautiful stunner was acting like she was going to take him by force and harbored deep resentment... it would also be a lie to say he had no concerns.

There was no guarantee that... something might not get snapped in the middle of it.

While Chen Qingxuan was feeling conflicted, Jiang Susu urged him coldly, "Have you decided? Which one do you choose?"

*Gulp.*

Chen Qingxuan snapped back to his senses and said tentatively, "Susu, if you really want this, Brother isn't a stingy person... but we haven't seen each other in so many years, can we develop our feelings first? With your current posture... to be honest, Brother isn't quite in the right state... Do you understand that feeling of being unable to perform?"

*Swish—*

Jiang Susu didn't waste any words, tossing a jade bottle at him. "Take the medicine!"

"?"

Chen Qingxuan was so shocked his tongue dropped out; he slowly rolled it back up with his hand and stuffed it back into his mouth.

Before he could speak, Jiang Susu spoke first, "I don't have time to flirt with you. I've waited over ten years for this moment... today, you must give it to me!"

"..."

Chen Qingxuan was stunned.

Wait... shouldn't those be his lines?

But the more urgent Jiang Susu acted, the more anxious he felt... he felt like a wife cornered in a park by her husband's friend.

"I'll choose for you!"

Seeing Chen Qingxuan's hesitation, Jiang Susu lost her patience.

In the next moment, several purple jade bottles were thrown by her, exploding in the sky above the courtyard. Immediately after, colorful powders showered down.

Sensing the special aura contained in the medicinal powder, Chen Qingxuan reacted instantly.

"Wait? You learned this kind of Aphrodisiac Technique... just to deal with me?"

"Come take your medicine~"
