Chapter 493: Chapter 493: Future Empress: Direct Confession! (Please Follow)

Watching Xiao Ye’s distant movements, Gu Qingcheng felt an inexplicable stab of pain in her heart and became unbelievably disappointed.

Her mood sank, and she gazed at him with a trace of grievance in her eyes.

*The one I like is clearly you.*

*Just now when you said you wanted to introduce me to some outstanding geniuses, I thought you were going to set me up with someone else, that’s why I refused. I never imagined you’d actually recommend yourself to me!*

Divine Soul Gu Qingcheng was in the Sea of Spirit, her soul at this moment more solid than a normal person’s soul.

She sat atop the Treasure of Space-Time, leisurely swinging her long, smooth, white legs. On her delicate, stunning face was a look of pure delight as she cheered,

"Xiaogu, it’s a good thing, a great thing!"

"Why aren’t you happy?"

Gu Qingcheng’s mouth twitched as she replied in her mind, "Look at him, he’s being so distant now, he won’t even hold me anymore. You call this a good thing?"

"You have to know, Xiao Ye said he wants to keep his distance from me, and he said it’s out of respect!"

"I don’t need that kind of respect at all, what I want is for him to be a little less decent with me."

Divine Soul Gu Qingcheng was stunned, actually shocked, *Goodness, the man’s respecting you and that’s not what you want, you want him to take advantage of you instead.*

*What kind of logic is that?*

*Oh, Xiaogu has totally turned into a hooked-mouth fish!*

*This pretty, pale little fish Xiaogu wants to bite the hubby’s hook, but hubby doesn’t want to catch this little fish, so Xiaogu is freaking out!*

Divine Soul Gu Qingcheng covered her mouth, giggling softly.

Gu Qingcheng rolled her eyes and said, "Laugh it up, go ahead and laugh. But if I can’t win over our hubby, do you really think the future you will ever manage to be together with him?"

"What are you so happy about, hurry up and help me think of something."

When it came to romance, she, the Hang City Empress, was basically a complete rookie, a spotless, crease-free, brand new blank sheet of paper.

Divine Soul Gu Qingcheng giggled forever, and only after half a minute did she finally say,

"I told you, you should actually be happy about what our hubby just said."

"Not moping around by yourself like some tragic, resentful woman."

Gu Qingcheng rolled her eyes again, grumbling, "If our hubby wants to keep his distance from me from now on, how am I supposed to be happy?"

"I wanted to win him over, now it’s going to be even harder, hmph!"

Divine Soul Gu Qingcheng chuckled and said, "Don’t forget, what hubby just said was, he wants to recommend himself to you, to help you settle down."

"That means he’s into you, that his heart’s been moved by you."

"Otherwise, with his personality, there’s no way he’d ever say something like that!"

Gu Qingcheng’s beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, glowing with excitement. *All her disappointment and gloom vanished in an instant.* She exclaimed in surprise,

"Really?"

"Our hubby is really into me?"

Divine Soul Gu Qingcheng nodded with a smile and said, "Yeah, trust me, with what I know about hubby, he has definitely fallen for you. Well, even if he hasn’t, he at least wants your body, or your Destiny Template."

"But don’t worry too much, there’s a high chance he’s genuinely into you."

"Hehe!" On Gu Qingcheng’s breathtakingly beautiful face, a delighted smile appeared. *She was so thrilled, feeling smug inside, and replied in her mind,*

"That’s fantastic!"

"I’ve been waiting for this day for so long."

Divine Soul Gu Qingcheng started counting on her fingers. "You’ve only known him for, what, half a month? Waiting so long? Xiaogu, you’re really turning into that hooked-mouth fish for our hubby. You’re not even together yet, and every day already feels like a year?"

Gu Qingcheng’s cheeks flushed, her gaze dodged a little, but she replied bluntly, "Yeah, just like you. We’ve both turned into hooked-mouth fish."

"Only, in the future you’ll have waited a hundred years as a lonely woman, while for me, it’s only been half a month!"

The smile on Divine Soul Gu Qingcheng’s face froze, "Wow, so we’re both hooked, and you’re teasing me now?"

Gu Qingcheng huffed, "That’s what you get for laughing at me. Now hurry up and tell me, what should I do? Our hubby wants to keep his distance!"

Divine Soul Gu Qingcheng crossed her arms, confident and calm, and said,

"Put that anxious heart of yours back in your belly!"

"With the future Gu Qingcheng here, you’re still worried you can’t win him over?"

"Even if you don’t believe in yourself, at least believe in me!"

"Let me think." She frowned slightly, pacing back and forth on the flat surface of the Treasure of Space-Time, deep in thought.

Gu Qingcheng didn’t interrupt her. *Let Old Gu figure it out!*

*I might be emotionally clueless, a blank page, but Old Gu isn’t. Old Gu is the ultimate tragic woman who’s waited alone for a whole century. Who knows how many schemes she’s come up with over all those years. She must have tons of tactics for seducing Xiao Ye.*

Outside, Xiao Ye was looking at the scenery inside the Secret Realm, his heart a tangled mess.

*So, the Hang City Empress already had someone she loved.*

*And here I was, thinking about contracting the Destiny Template.*

*Now, it turns out, I don’t even have a chance!*

That’s right, Xiao Ye never once considered that the Hang City Empress’s beloved could be him. He’d only known Gu Qingcheng for less than half a month, so how could she possibly fall for him?

That tiny bit of time, for someone like Gu Qingcheng who was around fifteen hundred years old, was like a sneeze, gone in an instant.

He just never believed someone could fall in love with him that fast, especially Gu Qingcheng.

Xiao Ye turned his head and saw the Hang City Empress, whose face was lit up with uncontained happiness.

She wore a formfitting white robe, and her explosive, demon-like figure made the snug robe look like a cheongsam, perfectly outlining every curve.

*I just said I want to keep my distance from her, and she’s actually this happy about it.*

Xiao Ye could tell that she was genuinely happy, her joy written all over her face.

At that moment, Xiao Ye was absolutely certain that Gu Qingcheng already had someone in her heart—and that someone definitely wasn’t him!

*Yeah, looks like from now on, I have to keep my distance from Sister Qingcheng.*

*No more close contact, probably shouldn’t even hold her hand...*

*After this massage, I’ll just solve Sister Qingcheng’s Template thing straight up, settle it all at once.*

*Since Sister Qingcheng already has her ideal man, it’s not right for me to keep making her strip for massages.*

"Got it!" In Gu Qingcheng’s mind, Divine Soul Gu Qingcheng’s crisp, pleasant voice rang out.

"Since our hubby’s already into you, you should just find a chance and confess straight up!"

"Tell him how you feel, say you want to be his Beast Girl."

"As long as our hubby isn’t a total idiot, he’ll definitely take the hint and say yes."

"That horny old perv, the moment he hears a goddess like you confessing, there’s no way he’ll say no."

Gu Qingcheng heard that, and a rosy flush swept up her delicate face.

"Confess? That’s way too embarrassing..."

"What if I just can’t get the words out?"

Divine Soul Gu Qingcheng’s mouth twitched, "So you’re planning to just bottle it up? For a lifetime? You’d better think twice. If you don’t show your feelings, our hubby will just keep his distance—and after a while, you might lose your chance altogether."

"Once hubby gets involved with that person in the Rule Realm, even confessing might be pointless."

"!" Gu Qingcheng’s heart clenched in panic, and a sense of urgency flooded her chest.

"Screw it, I’ll confess!"

The playful smile returned to Divine Soul Gu Qingcheng’s face, "That’s more like it. Even a block of wood can be carved."
