Attacking the Heart First, the Heroine's Heart of Submission
Attacking the Heart First, the Heroine’s Heart of Submission
It had to be said.
As the heroine matched with the Fortuitous One.
Su Qingge’s appearance was truly without flaw.
Her features were exquisite and breathtakingly beautiful.
Her eyes were like autumn waters, her brows like distant hills.
Her dark hair was soft and smooth, her lovely face fair and crystalline, shimmering with a moving luster.
Dressed in flowing white robes, she exuded an otherworldly, transcendent air.
Her temperament was ethereal and serene, difficult to describe in words.
Like a celestial maiden from the Nine Heavens who had accidentally fallen into the mortal world.
Yet her current expression was somewhat uneasy.
After all, she had requested an audience with Gu Changge for a full three days before finally being summoned, which made it truly hard for her to fathom Gu Changge’s true intentions.
The men she had encountered before were all like Ye Chen, filled with boundless admiration for her.
As if facing a goddess, to be admired from afar but never touched.
Someone like Gu Changge, who cast her aside without a care, was a first for her.
So Su Qingge still felt somewhat uneasy, afraid of hitting a wall.
But this could not change her resolve.
Over these three days, she had conferred with her other soul, and they had already figured out what to do next to salvage the current situation.
“May I ask what business Saintess Qingge has with me?”
In the great hall, Gu Changge sat cross-legged at the head, opened his eyes, and spoke indifferently.
His expression was profound and cold.
Like a deity looking down upon all things.
He naturally knew Su Qingge’s intentions.
But he did not point it out first.
At a time like this, if he wanted her to submit.
His attitude could not be too gentle.
The Fortuity points on Su Qingge, in the end, were also tied to her status as the heroine.
If the heroine “willingly” submitted to him, the great villain?
What exactly would happen?
Gu Changge was actually somewhat curious about this himself.
Moreover, compared to Ye Chen, Su Qingge’s weakness was in his hands, making her much easier to take down.
“Qingge has come, in truth, to apologize to Young Master Gu for the matter three days ago.”
At this, Su Qingge looked at Gu Changge and said.
This was something she had actually wanted to do all along, but Gu Changge had never given her the chance.
“Oh? What wrong has Saintess Qingge committed?”
Gu Changge’s expression remained unchanged as he asked in return.
“The matter of Ye Chen actually arose because of me, yet I did not mention a word of it to Young Master Gu. In this, Qingge was at fault...”
It had to be said, Su Qingge was very clever. Her explanation at this moment was poised and graceful, without the slightest hint of pettiness.
Many things could not be hidden from Gu Changge, so it was better to be frank.
She also took the opportunity to recount how she had come to know Ye Chen.
As for Ye Chen’s admiration for her, she did not conceal that either.
Before an existence like Gu Changge, the only thing she could do was confess everything to demonstrate her sincerity.
“This woman is quite interesting.”
At this moment, a look of genuine interest could not help but appear on Gu Changge’s face.
Honestly, he was somewhat surprised.
Perhaps even Ye Chen himself never imagined that Su Qingge would reveal all of this to him.
Such a clever woman—truly worthy of being the heroine.
This kind of temperament was completely different from those mere pretty faces out there.
She understood how to seek fortune and avoid calamity.
Now that her Sect was in trouble, she knew very well what to do, and would not do anything foolish.
To the entire Supreme Stygian Holy Land, Gu Changge was the greatest backer.
Compared to Ye Chen, she was even less willing to offend Gu Changge.
This was what was meant by circumstances being stronger than the individual.
At this moment, even Gu Changge could not help but feel some admiration for her.
Pure admiration, of course.
Not lusting after her body.
<*Ding!* Su Qingge’s disposition has shifted. Ye Chen’s Fortuity is damaged by forty points. Fatums plus two hundred.>
And at this moment, the System’s notification came.
Gu Changge could not help but narrow his eyes.
Interesting.
So changing the trajectory of people connected to the Fortuitous One could also damage his Fortuity, thereby earning Fatums.
In that case, things became much simpler.
“You tell me all this—what is your goal? Do you think I’m interested in you?”
“Do you want me to take this chance to spare Ye Chen?”
But Gu Changge’s words were merciless, cold, carrying a trace of mocking laughter.
Though Su Qingge had long anticipated this.
Her face still paled slightly, and she hurriedly explained, “I wouldn’t dare. Qingge knows her willow-like, humble looks could hardly catch Young Master Gu’s eye. All of this is only to show Qingge’s sincerity, in hopes that you will not hold that day’s events against me.”
“As for Ye Chen’s matter, Qingge is powerless to change it. Young Master Gu is overthinking.”
“Oh? Ye Chen is so devoted to you that he would break with the Supreme Stygian Holy Land for your sake. With an attitude like yours, are you doing right by him?”
Gu Changge’s expression was somewhat playful.
These words made Su Qingge’s expression turn pained.
“For the Sect—this is my father’s life’s work—none of that matters anymore.”
Su Qingge’s eyes dimmed.
Gu Changge’s expression remained cold, and he said nothing.
But inwardly, he was already laughing in mockery.
Attacking the heart first.
This method was truly brilliant.
“Young Master Gu, there is actually one more matter to speak of. Qingge’s physique is the Mysterious Nine Maiden Physique. Aside from myself, no one knows of this.”
At this, seeing Gu Changge’s expression, she spoke again.
To demonstrate her sincerity, she revealed this secret.
The Mysterious Nine Maiden Physique?
A supreme Human Cauldron physique?
Gu Changge’s memory naturally contained records of such a physique.
Only, Su Qingge had actually taken the initiative to reveal all of this.
That surprised him somewhat.
But quickly, Gu Changge somewhat understood her meaning.
This was Su Qingge’s leverage, and by voluntarily handing her leverage over to him, she was showing full sincerity behind her earlier apology.
Was this not also the first step of this heroine’s submission?
<*Ding!* Su Qingge’s heart of submission begins to emerge. Ye Chen’s Fortuity is damaged by forty points. Fatums plus two hundred.>
And at this moment, the System’s notification sounded again.
Even Gu Changge had not expected it.
The process of making Su Qingge reveal her intent to submit would go so surprisingly smoothly.
With this, Ye Chen’s Fortuity points had already dropped to just over three hundred.
