I Got Together with the Goddess [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 101

Seeing her speak so solemnly, Jiang Yiqing suddenly found it amusing. She walked over, pulled Luo Shuyu into an embrace, and said, “Sister Luo, you really are amazing! Thank you!”

“…” Luo Shuyu initially thought of withdrawing her arms, feeling at a loss regarding the sudden physical proximity. However, seeing Jiang Yiqing’s triumphant smile, she realized the girl was doing it on purpose. If she became shy now, wouldn’t she be falling right into this little fox’s trap?

Thus, feeling the fragrance emanating from her body and holding the girl who felt like a fluffy little animal, she tightened her arms, instead pinning Jiang Yiqing back into her own embrace.

Finding herself locked in Luo Shuyu’s arms, Jiang Yiqing was somewhat surprised. She tilted her face up; the distance between the two had unknowingly become very close. She whispered, “Sister Luo?”

“Yiqing, don’t let my appearance fool you; I am actually exercising a great deal of restraint.” Luo Shuyu gazed quietly into her eyes and said, “Whatever you do, do not test my patience.”

Having her intentions exposed, Jiang Yiqing became much better behaved. She asked, “Sister Luo, someone as pure as ice and snow, unstained by a single speck of dust—do you also have impulses and thoughts that require restraint?”

Pure as ice and snow, unstained by dust—that was actually the girl in her arms. Luo Shuyu could not imagine how the girl would judge her if she ever saw the darkness within her heart.

Luo Shuyu took Jiang Yiqing’s actions as her taking the initiative. Having finally obtained the initiative she desired, it meant that her feelings were not one-sided, and she could further advance their relationship.

Luo Shuyu looked up at the sky. The moon had emerged from the clouds at some unknown moment. Jiang Yiqing looked at the sky as well and said, “What a beautiful moon.”

“But it does not compare to you,” Luo Shuyu sighed. She lowered her head and kissed the “bright moon” in her heart that had fallen to the human world.

Jiang Yiqing was caught completely off guard by the sudden kiss. Her eyes widened slightly, and she had no time to react. On her lips was something slightly cool and soft, slowly rubbing against her own. Yet, it felt hotter than fire and somewhat tingling; every small probe seemed to trigger an infinite chemical reaction. Heat spread outward from her lips, causing her entire face to instantly turn scalding hot.

Seeing that she did not resist and even seemed to enjoy it, Luo Shuyu deepened the kiss. Originally, she had intended to stop while things were going well, but the girl was simply too enticing; she truly could not control herself.

Jiang Yiqing had not expected the seemingly pure Luo Shuyu to actually grip her waist so tightly, preventing her from moving. Unknowingly, she had been completely trapped in Luo Shuyu’s arms. Jiang Yiqing found it difficult to breathe, yet her eyes remained calm, though burning thoughts flickered within them. Luo Shuyu parted her lips and lightly licked her teeth; Jiang Yiqing’s mouth felt itchy, and she subconsciously opened it. Realizing what she had done, her face instantly exploded in a deep red flush.

“This is an invitation, Yiqing,” Luo Shuyu praised, diving into the oral cavity filled with a sweet and crisp fragrance.

Throughout the entire process, Jiang Yiqing remained in a daze. She didn’t know why Luo Shuyu’s kissing technique was so superb; she felt as though she had been tricked.

Finally, she pushed her away abruptly and accused, “Liar!”

“What do you mean, liar?” Luo Shuyu asked, puzzled.

“Why are you so skillful?” Jiang Yiqing asked.

This was Jiang Yiqing’s first kiss. Although it was indeed very comfortable—even a level of comfort she had never experienced before, making her feel as if she were melting between Luo Shuyu’s lips and teeth—it was also somewhat frightening.

“That’s a compliment, right?” Luo Shuyu also felt a bit embarrassed. However, she couldn’t exactly say she had imagined these many times in her mind; she was afraid of scaring Jiang Yiqing. At a time like this, she could only keep moving forward.

She grabbed Jiang Yiqing’s hand, pulled her back into her arms, and said, “Not everyone needs a vast amount of practice to learn something. Kissing is the same, do you understand? Yiqing.”

Jiang Yiqing felt bewitched by her voice. Realizing the girl was starting to feel lightheaded, Luo Shuyu pressed her advantage. She leaned close to her ear and coaxed, “This was my first kiss as well. However, I like your reaction very much.”

“…” Jiang Yiqing was stunned. Was this the Luo Shuyu of her imagination? How could such a cold goddess be so flirtatious?

“I like you, Yiqing,” Luo Shuyu said. “I truly like you.”

Those three words—”I love you”—were too sacred; Luo Shuyu couldn’t bring herself to say them yet. However, she believed the day would come when she would.

Jiang Yiqing also felt a wonderful sense of atmosphere—the unique fragrance of love. She hugged Luo Shuyu back and said, “I like you too, Sister Luo.”

“…Call me Shuyu.”

Jiang Yiqing immediately corrected herself, saying, “I like you, Shuyu.”

The two of them embraced quietly in the cold winter night. It was a long time before they left hand in hand. Even though the night wind was cold, their hearts felt as though a furnace had been lit, burning warm and cozy.

With Jiang Yiqing’s birthday approaching, Aunt Qin stayed up late to finish the hat before then. The hat was a vibrant orange with two subtle deer antlers, looking exceptionally cute.

Taking advantage of a moment when Jiang Yiqing was not in her room, Aunt Qin placed the hat in a gift bag, tucked a greeting card inside, and pressed it under Jiang Yiqing’s pillow.

She looked at the alarm clock in Jiang Yiqing’s room; there were only two hours left until midnight, and Yiqing had not yet returned to rest. She shook her head, imagining how Jiang Yiqing would feel when she discovered it. Since Jiang Yiqing had discovered her preparations beforehand, there wasn’t much of a sense of mystery left, but she still wanted this child to realize the moment her birthday began that there was someone in the world thinking of her.

Just as Aunt Qin was about to exit the room, she suddenly heard a startled cry from outside the window. Being very familiar with the voice, she immediately rushed to the window.

The window of Jiang Yiqing’s room faced the Lu residence next door, and the sound had come from there.

“This voice… is it Sister-in-law Wang?” Aunt Qin suddenly became uneasy.

She had always been worried that Sister-in-law Wang would do something, but nothing had happened—until she heard that scream tonight, which left her deeply concerned.

The two ghosts also emerged from the attic, though Aunt Qin could not see them.

“Heavens, the resentment in the Lu residence is growing stronger. Even though we’re fine staying here, if this continues, something terrible will definitely happen!”

“Sigh, we should tell the young girl and Master Luo; we can only ask them to solve this!”

As they were discussing this, they saw a wisp of black smoke drifting in through the window. This black smoke seemed to have a bizarre effect that caused people to faint; as soon as it made contact, Aunt Qin’s body suddenly went limp, and she collapsed to the floor.

Witnessing this, Ruoying almost cried out, but she was silenced by Wanqing, who covered her mouth tightly and pulled her into the wardrobe.

However, the ominous smoke drifted around the room, penetrating everywhere. It eventually discovered them in the wardrobe. Yet, it seemed its power was limited; even though it transformed into two hands and choked the necks of the two ghosts, it ultimately dropped away feebly and gradually vanished from the room.

Having survived the ordeal, Ruoying coughed violently and asked, “Is that a Resentful Ghost? It’s so powerful; we are no match for it at all.”

“Fortunately, Luo Shuyu has basically cleared the effects of the Resentful Poison Handprint. Most of its power cannot penetrate this place, otherwise, Aunt Qin and both of us would have died today!” Wanqing said.

“It’s a good thing the young girl wasn’t here; otherwise, I’m afraid she would have met with disaster.”

“By the way, where is Aunt Qin?”

The two ghosts stepped out of the wardrobe, only to find that Aunt Qin, who had been lying on the floor, was suddenly gone.

Jiang Yiqing was currently bathing. To be honest, she was a bit nervous as her birthday was fast approaching. This was the first birthday she would spend since coming to this world; previously, she had always spent them with her Imperial Sister, but this year, she would spend it with her new family.

Actually, regarding the matter of the Great Calamity of Birth, she wasn’t particularly afraid.

“With Shuyu by my side, what is there to fear?” Jiang Yiqing’s voice echoed in the bathroom.

Jiang Yiqing lit a scented candle and enjoyed a beautiful bubble bath, her mind and soul completely captivated by it—so much so that she didn’t even hear the knocking on the door.

Luo Shuyu hesitated for a moment before using a spell to open the door. She walked in and said, “Yiqing, something has happened.”

Jiang Yiqing was startled. Realizing she had been a bit too carried away, she hurriedly blew out the candle, grabbed a bathrobe from the side, wrapped it around herself, and stood up from the water.

There was a shower curtain separating her and Luo Shuyu, but her beautiful silhouette was still clearly visible. Luo Shuyu tried her best to divert her attention and said, “Wanqing and Ruoying said that Aunt Qin went to your room and was then taken away by a Resentful Ghost from the Lu residence.”

“What?!” Jiang Yiqing’s heart turned cold. She had thought the ghost would definitely come for her and hadn’t expected it to strike someone other than herself.

“What do you think we should do now?” Luo Shuyu frowned with some distress. “I think I should go save her immediately, but this Resentful Ghost is quite clever. I’m worried it’s a ‘lure the tiger away from the mountain’ tactic. If its true target is still you, you will be in danger once I leave.”

“But we can’t not save Aunt Qin.” Jiang Yiqing pulled back the shower curtain and said, “I don’t know what the Resentful Poison Handprint is, but even one handprint is so powerful, and it took Aunt Qin directly. If something happens to her… I…”

At this moment, Jiang Yiqing felt the steam in the bathroom was too thick. She had stood up too quickly, and combined with the distressing news, her internal heat surged. She felt as if she were about to faint.

Seeing that she couldn’t even stand steadily and was suddenly falling toward her, Luo Shuyu hurriedly reached out to support her, letting her collapse into her arms.

Jiang Yiqing propped her hand against her forehead and shook her head to clear her mind. She said, “I’m fine, Shuyu. How about this: let’s go find Aunt Qin together.”

“The enemy is in the dark. I’m worried that as soon as we go, we’ll walk into a trap. How can I feel safe taking you into such danger? Besides, your physical condition is quite worrying.” Luo Shuyu felt Jiang Yiqing’s pulse and realized that although the handprint hadn’t caused a major impact, the residual resentment was still placing a burden on Jiang Yiqing’s body.

Usually, it wasn’t noticeable, but at a critical moment like this, she realized how weak the girl actually was.

“This is truly the worst-case scenario.” Luo Shuyu let out a long sigh. “I thought I was well-prepared, but in the end, it turns out I’ve accomplished nothing at all.”

“Shuyu, don’t say that,” Jiang Yiqing said. “Let’s do this: we’ll tell Mom first and ask for her opinion. With one more person thinking of a solution, there’s one more glimmer of hope.”
