Only the cult leader accepted my confession.-Chapter 17 - : Senior Sister Begins to Doubt Herself

"Big Senior Sister, have you lost your mind?!"

Ye Shu's eyes widened as he felt his throat go dry. He quickly slapped his hands over his face, leaving only a few suspiciously large gaps between his fingers.

"Senior Sister, stop joking! It's late at night!"

His voice trembled—not from excitement, but from sheer terror.

What is she trying to do?!

Coming to his room in the dead of night and unbuttoning her clothes as soon as she steps in—wasn't this the classic move of a femme fatale?!

If this were any other time, Ye Shu would have been more than willing to conduct some serious research into this scenario. But right now? No way! Not in the Tiansha Palace!

Especially not when he'd just caused a major scandal.

If word got out that Senior Sister Nie Qing had visited his room at this hour, he wouldn't even have time to explain before his master, Luo Jiuyan, threw him into a demon-sect disciplinary hearing—or worse, straight into a coffin!

"Junior Brother Ye, what's with that reaction?" Nie Qing froze mid-unbuttoning, her expression darkening.

She had put aside her pride, humbled herself to this degree, and even resorted to this method—yet he wasn't pouncing on her like a rabid beast?

This wasn't how things were supposed to go!

Wasn't this the same guy who had boldly confessed to seven senior sisters in a row?!

Where was the shameless pervert she had come to know and despise?

"Big Senior Sister, I should be asking you what's wrong!" Ye Shu kept his hands over his eyes but peeked through his fingers.

Nie Qing's face turned red. She hesitated for a second before blurting out:

"I came here... just to show you my new dress."

Ye Shu: "..."

'Oh yeah, because that's totally a normal thing to do at midnight.'

Before he could respond, Nie Qing—abandoning any remaining sense of dignity—dramatically tossed off her outer robe, revealing a stunning red dress underneath.

The fabric clung to her curves, emphasizing every lethal detail.

The proud peaks of her chest. The flat expanse of her stomach. The smooth lines of her thighs.

The whole thing screamed: Dangerous Woman, Do Not Approach (Unless You're an Idiot).

Ye Shu's brain short-circuited.

"Holy crap... Is this really Senior Sister?"

His mouth went dry, and his heartbeat went boom boom boom, like a war drum signaling the impending doom of his self-control.

In his mind, Senior Sister Nie Qing had always been a warrior—armored up, exuding raw battle energy, always ready to smack someone across the face.

Not this!

Not this beautifully dressed, graceful, utterly feminine creature standing before him!

For a moment, he genuinely forgot that she was the same woman who had once chased him across three mountain peaks with a sword for merely looking in her direction.

"Hmph, this scoundrel still has such a shameless gaze!" Nie Qing's lips twitched into a smirk as she caught Ye Shu's openly stunned expression.

But that was a good thing.

Because the more flustered he was, the more likely her plan would work!

Nie Qing leaned forward, "Junior Brother Ye, do you think I look pretty?"

"Yes!"

Ye Shu blurted out before he could stop himself.

Then his brain caught up to his mouth.

Wait. Wait.

Something's wrong.

The warning bells in his head started ringing like crazy.

Ye Shu immediately pinched his thigh—hard.

'Stay focused, idiot! There's no way she's acting like this for no reason!'

Calming himself down, Ye Shu took a cautious step back. "Senior Sister... what exactly are you doing here?"

Nie Qing blinked. Then, with all the subtlety of a brick through a window, she flicked her hair and purred, "What do you think?"

Ye Shu: "..."

'Oh no. She's lost it. She's actually lost it.'

This wasn't normal.

This wasn't the battle-crazed Senior Sister Nie Qing he knew!

His survival instincts kicked in.

"Senior Sister! If I did anything to offend you, just tell me! There's no need to torture me like this!"

Nie Qing's eyebrow twitched.

Torture?

TORTURE?!

She, Nie Qing, was offering herself up like this, and he thought it was torture?!

She fought the urge to just punch him in the face. "Hmph! Let's just forget about what happened before. I'm a magnanimous person, after all."

Ye Shu gasped. "Big Senior Sister... you're really so forgiving!"

Nie Qing: "..."

She had never been described as "forgiving" before.

But Ye Shu wasn't done being an idiot yet. He nervously glanced at her dress again.

"Um, Senior Sister, not to be rude, but why are you twisting your body like that?"

Nie Qing's lips curled into a smirk. "Why? Do you like it?"

Ye Shu gulped.

'Big Sister, please! I'm already struggling to hold back!'

"Senior Sister, you look... uh... very beautiful, but should I really be looking at these things?"

Nie Qing's eye twitched.

What the hell did he mean by should I be looking?!

Shouldn't he be saying something like Senior Sister, I can't resist you anymore! or I have fallen for your charm!?!

Nie Qing took a deep breath and smiled sweetly. "Junior Brother Ye, don't you have any... thoughts?"

Ye Shu blinked.

Thoughts?

Oh.

Oh no.

Did she just—she just asked him directly?!

His survival instincts SCREAMED at him.

Ye Shu frantically waved his hands. "Senior Sister! What are you saying?! I absolutely do not have any improper thoughts about you!"

His voice cracked slightly at the end.

Meanwhile, his eyes betrayed him as they continued darting back to ahem the areas of visual interest.

Nie Qing felt like flipping a table.

What kind of man is this?!

Wasn't this the same Ye Shu who had confessed to seven different senior sisters like a lovestruck fool?

Why was he suddenly acting like a chaste monk?!

Did she... did she not have any charm at all?

Nie Qing clenched her fists.

For the first time in her life, she began to doubt herself.

Was she... not feminine enough?{ Patreon has early release Chapters as well as extra Art }
