Reborn as a Villain? Then I’ll Rule This World!

Chapter 5: Please... We'll Be Discovered

At this moment, outside the bridal chamber.

The disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect had been lurking for quite some time, yet there was only silence within.

Their eyes were filled with concern and impatience, clearly eager to know the outcome.

"Senior Sister Ye has been in there for so long without any news. Could something have happened to her?"

A disciple who had always greatly admired the goddess voiced his worry.

At these words, many present showed expressions of concern.

Almost all the young disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect admired the goddess.

"How could that be? He's just a scheming villain. There's no way Senior Sister Ye could fail!"

"Even if she didn't want to feign civility, she could have easily suppressed him by force and made him confess!"

"No news is the best news. Otherwise, how could there be not a single sound from inside the room?"

At that moment, one of them, seemingly more intelligent, analyzed the situation.

Instantly, the previously unsettled hearts of the group calmed down.

"That's right, Senior Sister Ye is a prodigy. How could a mere court favorite be her match?"

"We were simply too worried. Senior Sister Ye is unmatched. She's probably interrogating him right now!"

The disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect all nodded in agreement, deeply convinced of their reasoning.

They evidently had absolute faith in Ye Xueyi.

But right now, what was the goddess really going through?

She hadn't extracted any answers. Instead, she had become the one being interrogated.

The pearl of the Heavenly Dao Sect had now fallen into disgrace, descending into the mortal world.

Her fair skin bore a faint flush, and the cold and aloof expression she had struggled to maintain had slowly melted away.

Her fiery eyes, half-lidded, held an undeniable hint of allure.

Her watery gaze alone was enough to ignite the flames in any man's heart.

Ye Xueyi had no idea what she looked like at this moment, nor could she control her own state.

The only thing she could do was bite her lip, refusing to let out any sound.

Her raised head was a silent declaration that no matter what, she would never submit to this villain.

This stubborn refusal to comply only added to her cold and enchanting charm.

Su Qing, seeing this, was even more eager to continue.

His hand reached behind her, grabbing hold of the goddess's ice-blue hair as if grasping reins.

"Mmm..."

Under the slight pain, Ye Xueyi finally couldn't hold back and let out a soft moan.

And just like that, a crack was made, escalating this battle to a new level.

Soft moans became frequent, even as she tried to suppress them, they were still painfully clear.

"Madam Ye, your body is far more honest than your spirit."

At times like this, Su Qing would let out a mocking chuckle.

His intention, of course, was to wear down her spirit.

Unfortunately, it didn't seem to be working well.

Even in such dire circumstances, the goddess remained composed and graceful.

It was as if she hadn't heard a word he said, unaffected just as before.

"Impressive, truly impressive. Even when completely defeated, you still refuse to make too much noise."

"Holding out so stubbornly... The only thing that remains firm is your mouth."

Su Qing couldn't help but praise her perseverance.

He understood perfectly well that people were keeping watch outside; after all, this was a group operation.

And the reason the goddess was holding on so desperately was precisely because of that.

If anyone heard her voice, she would be utterly ruined within the Heavenly Dao Sect!

She had to hold back, no matter what!

But Su Qing had already placed a sealing talisman over the room, isolating it completely.

No sound could escape, and the outside world couldn't see anything inside either.

As a normal person, he had no intention of sharing such a feast.

This kind of delicacy was meant to be savored alone.

Initially, he had thought about informing Ye Xueyi that no sound could escape.

But seeing her proud and aloof demeanor, showing no willingness to communicate with him, he decided otherwise.

Watching her struggle desperately to maintain her image, he thought for a moment and chose not to warn her.

After all, this could be seen as a form of training her willpower.

After enduring this hardship, her resolve would surely become even stronger!

As a considerate person, he even added a bit more difficulty for her.

With a silent movement, he pushed the window open slightly, revealing a sliver of the outside world.

Ye Xueyi, who had resolved to remain completely silent, instantly tensed to the extreme.

The very thing she feared had happened—she absolutely couldn't bear the thought of anyone seeing her like this!

Now, the goddess was truly on the verge of tears, her body stiffening with panic.

Her eyes instinctively darted toward the window.

She could see nothing... or perhaps, just maybe, someone was peeking through the gap.

"Hmm, madam's reaction is quite interesting. This is unexpected."

Feeling everything firsthand, Su Qing took a deep breath, asserting his complete control over the situation.

It was clear—she cared about her dignity even more than he had imagined.

That was a weakness he could exploit, making future interactions all the more enjoyable.

"No... please, don't do this... We'll be discovered!"

Ye Xueyi finally couldn't take it anymore, letting out a pleading whisper.

The more righteous and noble one was, the more they cherished their reputation.

She was willing to sacrifice herself for the world, but that didn't mean she was willing to be seen in this state!

Forcing herself, she turned her head, her eyes red, filled with urgency and shame.

At this moment, the goddess no longer cared that the man before her was a villain. She could only plead.

Such sincerity, such a delicate and pitiful sight—who could possibly refuse her...?

White Jade Pavilion.

This was the highest tower in the capital, and also the exclusive palace of the Empress.

A figure sat at a table, sipping tea while gazing at the night sky.

She seemed to be waiting for something.

This regal and peerlessly beautiful woman was known throughout the entire capital.

The reigning Empress—the highest authority.

Her face was stunning, yet her sharp, cold eyes exuded an intimidating presence.

Just her expression alone was enough to make people uneasy.

Her gaze carried an unmistakable majesty, making others too afraid to meet her eyes.

Her long white hair cascaded freely down her back, while her flawless figure was wrapped in a dark dragon robe.

The upper part of the robe was form-fitting, while the lower part featured a slit design.

Through the slit, one could glimpse the black silk stockings and high heels beneath.

Even while seated, her long legs hinted at her tall and graceful stature.

"Hmm?"

The Empress set down her teacup, her previously lazy gaze sharpening instantly.

Her noble and icy face revealed a hint of obvious confusion.

Was the crisis already resolved?

That seemed... far too simple, far too easy.
