I Got Together with the Goddess [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 18

Being at such proximity, Jiang Yiqing became so nervous that she didn’t dare look at Si Xuansu; she kept staring at the whirlpools in the hot spring. The “Vortex Immortal Spring,” as the name implied, was covered in whirlpools…

Truly at such a close distance, Jiang Yiqing didn’t even know where to look. The reflection in the water was blurred and dreamy, and the beauty above the water was like a rainbow. One goddess was already enough to make one’s eyes overwhelmed; now that there were two, who could possibly withstand it?

The Vortex Immortal Spring, true to its name, was covered in whirlpools throughout the spring. The ripples were very fine, and their shapes shifted in a variety of ways, adding a layer of beauty and grace to the hot spring.

The spring water was slightly milky white and did not have the pungent smell of sulfur; instead, it carried a faint fragrance. The moment one entered the water, it made their entire body feel relaxed, more effective than any massage.

Since she didn’t speak, Si Xuansu didn’t speak either. Fearing the atmosphere would fall into silence, Jiang Yiqing asked, “Xuansu, do you think soaking in this hot spring is comfortable? How is the water temperature?”

“The temperature is just right, very comfortable,” Si Xuansu said.

“That’s good.” Then, Jiang Yiqing couldn’t think of what else to say, racking her brain until she came up with one sentence: “You are always practicing martial arts and training troops; I feel exhausted just watching you. You must have accumulated a lot of fatigue, right? Why don’t you soak in this hot spring more often in the future? I feel it can relieve your tiredness.”

“Thank you.” Si Xuansu met her gaze, neither agreeing nor refusing.

Being watched by her, Jiang Yiqing’s body froze; she couldn’t move. She saw something in her eyes that she wanted to say but hadn’t spoken aloud.

Si Xuansu sighed softly and said, “Yiqing, come here. I’ll wash your hair for you.”

“?” Jiang Yiqing was somewhat stunned and shook her head. “How can I trouble you?”

“It’s no trouble,” Si Xuansu insisted.

Jiang Yiqing felt embarrassed to refuse her, so she moved closer and sat in front of Si Xuansu.

The Vortex Immortal Spring could eliminate all impurities from the body, so the so-called “washing hair” was merely using her fingers to help Jiang Yiqing comb through her hair.

Jiang Yiqing felt her fingers stroking across her scalp, bringing waves of tingling sensations. She hadn’t realized her scalp was so sensitive.

Si Xuansu possessed immense strength, yet at this moment, she was extremely gentle. As she massaged the acupoints on the top of her head, Jiang Yiqing was so comfortable she felt as if she was about to collapse into the hot spring.

She leaned against the rock behind her just to keep her body from sliding down.

The originally dark and bright hair in Si Xuansu’s hands became even more lustrous and supple, making it hard for one to let go, unable to resist playing with it carefully in her hands.

Time passed for an unknown duration until Jiang Yiqing, nearly falling into a deep sleep, opened her eyes. She saw that Si Xuansu’s body was extremely close to her, almost circling her against the shore, leaving her with no way to retreat.

The clear surface of the water allowed every part of her body to be seen clearly; there were some pink scars, which added a touch of chaotic and fragile beauty to her. Lifting her head, Jiang Yiqing saw water droplets condensing at the tips of her hairlike pearls. However, when her eyes met hers, Jiang Yiqing found they were the most brilliant gems of all, appearing exceptionally alluring due to the mist.

Si Xuansu helped her drape her beautiful hair behind her back. This was the first time she had looked at Yiqing’s wet-haired appearance at such close range; she had thought before that she was too beautiful, but how could someone be this beautiful just after bathing?

It was like a lotus rising from clear water, emerging from her own hands. Si Xuansu stroked the ends of the hair, gazing at her completely defenseless face, her heart growing increasingly restless.

Seeing that she kept staring without speaking, Jiang Yiqing’s face turned even more crimson.

Finally, Si Xuansu let go and told Jiang Yiqing it was finished. Jiang Yiqing hurriedly said, “I’ll wash your hair too.”

Si Xuansu’s expression looked a bit unnatural as she said, “I can do it myself.”

Jiang Yiqing hadn’t expected to be rejected. Why? She had washed hers, so why couldn’t she do the same?

“Xuansu, you’ve washed mine, so I must wash yours too!” Jiang Yiqing spoke with a bit of coquettish stubbornness, insisting on moving behind her.

A helpless expression appeared on Si Xuansu’s face, though she did not refuse her again.

Jiang Yiqing had only taken two steps when her foot slipped. It turned out the floor of the hot spring was made of rocks, and under the action of the water flow, some had become very slippery. Jiang Yiqing stepped on a large rock and fell headlong into the water.

Si Xuansu reacted extremely quickly and reached out to grab her, but one’s body cannot be as flexible in water as it is on land. Jiang Yiqing’s falling momentum was too fierce, and she dragged her down with her.

Jiang Yiqing only felt her entire body submerged in the water. She instinctively closed her eyes, but the surroundings were very quiet. When she opened her eyes, she saw Si Xuansu staring intently at her.

At this moment, the distance between them was so close; their bodies were completely pressed together, and their long hair was entangled. Logically, they should have surfaced as quickly as possible, but Jiang Yiqing was stunned and did nothing. She quietly gazed at her for a few seconds, and Si Xuansu’s expression changed.

There was an indescribable feeling in her gaze, as if her body and soul were being stared at—stared at from the very depths.

Neither of them moved, though Jiang Yiqing belatedly noticed small bubbles rising in front of her.

She couldn’t hold her breath any longer; she felt the water pressure pressing in from all sides. To breathe, she had to float to the surface.

She paddled her arms to rise, but her arm was quickly grabbed.

Jiang Yiqing looked down and found that Si Xuansu had seized her arm.

She was very surprised, but Si Xuansu’s strength was much greater than hers, and she was pulled into her embrace.

Before Jiang Yiqing could react to what was happening, Si Xuansu wrapped her arms around her waist. Because she was so startled, Jiang Yiqing swallowed a large mouthful of water.

Her nose felt stinging and she began to panic, struggling a few times in Si Xuansu’s arms. However, very soon, her lips were blocked by a pair of soft lips.

Jiang Yiqing’s eyes widened. A flash of light flickered in the depths of Si Xuansu’s eyes. The lack of oxygen caused Jiang Yiqing’s lips to part, and Si Xuansu immediately and skillfully slipped inside.

From the union of lip to lip, the air she needed to survive was transmitted. She was like a fish desperate for a breath of air, leaning against her somewhat greedily and drawing from her obliviously.

The two exchanged breath underwater, their bodies pressed tight. Jiang Yiqing no longer felt afraid; she forgot about time and even stopped thinking about anything at all.

After a long time, Si Xuansu led her toward the surface. The two emerged, their hair clinging to their necks and shoulders like two mermaids, entwined with each other, gazing at each other infatuatedly, neither of them speaking.

When her consciousness returned, Jiang Yiqing was suddenly shocked by what had just happened.

She… had kissed the goddess underwater! And now, they were in zero-distance contact!

“Do you like what you see?” Si Xuansu asked.

Jiang Yiqing looked at the wounds on her body, thinking that the hot spring could just happen to help heal these scars and make her so she would never be hurt again. She felt these wounds gave her an impulse to protect her, while simultaneously igniting her desire.

“I like it.” Jiang Yiqing pressed her lips against her skin with pity and passion, saying, “Xuansu, my wife, I will definitely protect you forever.”
