Chapter 662: Chapter 662: It’s About Deceiving Him for Money and Sex

No matter whether Quan Sicheng was willing to admit it or not, he was very clear about one thing.

After Shi Yaoguang had changed, he had paid much more attention to her.

Attention is often the beginning of love.

To this day, he couldn’t clearly say whether his attention to Shi Yaoguang was because of the attention itself, or if his feelings for her had taken on a different nature.

Either way, it wasn’t necessarily a good thing for him.

He didn’t really want to experience this feeling of being out of control.

But...

Now, Shi Yaoguang stood in front of him, telling him that she did not like Quan Jinbei.

To him, this was no less than a surprise.

How could such a surprise allow him to remain as calm as if nothing had happened?

"I went to Quan Jinbei because he could protect me."

Shi Yaoguang seemed to have finally prepared herself mentally and started to explain the reason she was with Quan Jinbei.

"He is a sickly person, and all he wants is to get better. After I had that dream, I just so happened to know how to cure him."

"I know how to heal him, and that is my bargaining chip."

"I used this chip to threaten him, to have him act out a play with me..."

After Shi Yaoguang finished speaking, she looked at Quan Sicheng with a firm gaze, "That’s everything that happened. What I did before, it was all for self-protection."

Quan Sicheng pressed on, "You haven’t yet said what that dream was about. Why did you think Shi Yiqing and I would not break up?"

"That dream was about a book." Shi Yaoguang closed her eyes briefly, her tone touched with a bit of tragedy, "In that book, I am the malevolent antagonist, and Shi Yiqing is the innocent and naive protagonist, while you... are the male lead."

"It is precisely because you two are the male and female leads, a match made by destiny."

"Knowing full well that I couldn’t tear you apart, I thought if I can’t have it, I might as well destroy you both."

Having heard her statement, Quan Sicheng felt as if his entire worldview had shattered.

It wasn’t because of what Shi Yaoguang said about her dream.

It was...

She seemed to really like him!

What Shi Yaoguang said was actually very sensible.

She did like him, but liking someone doesn’t mean you have to possess them.

Neither does it mean she has to do something for him.

All in all, from any angle, Shi Yaoguang’s explanation was impeccable.

"Had I known you would give up on Shi Yiqing, I would never have taken such aggressive actions against you."

As she spoke, her eyes filled with uncertainty, "I’m telling you this now, not because I want you to do anything, but just to let you know my feelings."

"If you find this version of me too frightening, or if you can’t accept it, I would understand."

Quan Sicheng shook his head, "I won’t."

Shi Yaoguang looked puzzled, "Won’t what?"

Quan Sicheng earnestly said, "I won’t be unable to accept you."

"No matter what you are like, I can accept you."

As he spoke, he even thumped his chest, "I am willing to accept you, what about you?"

"You..."

He also started to feel nervous, "Do you still like me?"

Shi Yaoguang began to smile lightly, "Of course I like you! Otherwise, why would I be telling you all this?"

All at once, Quan Sicheng felt like he had achieved a dream, but he remained vigilant.

Even though he had fallen for Shi Yaoguang without even realizing it, and now Shi Yaoguang was telling him that she liked him,

The events that had happened before were not things he could immediately forget.

So...

He still needed to ask clearly, what exactly was going on.

Shi Yaoguang raised her finger and pointed to the sky, "It’s all the Heavenly Dao’s mischief."

"You must have met Heavenly Dao before."

Quan Sicheng nodded.

He had indeed met Heavenly Dao, who told him what he should do.

Without Heavenly Dao’s help, it would have been impossible for him to be possessed by Demonic Qi.

Before the possession, the words that Heavenly Dao said to him felt very reasonable.

But now...

He glanced at Shi Yaoguang, and silently put aside the Heavenly Dao’s warnings in his heart.

He felt he should trust Shi Yaoguang once.

Moreover, Shi Yaoguang didn’t seem to harbor any malice towards him, he didn’t believe Shi Yaoguang would deceive him.

Even if he was deceived, that would be his own problem.

If Heavenly Dao knew how foolish he was, letting Shi Yaoguang deceive him out of money or charm...

Cough cough, anyway, when Heavenly Dao and Quan Sicheng discussed matters, they surely did not anticipate Quan Sicheng being so lacking.

In his view, the enmity between Quan Sicheng and Shi Yaoguang was already established, Quan Sicheng scheming against Shi Yaoguang was possible, but genuinely being with her was impossible.

Therefore.

Heavenly Dao never worried about the possibility of Quan Sicheng being deceived by Shi Yaoguang.

This resulted in Shi Yaoguang being able to easily employ her tricks.

However, talking about it again.

There’s no need to make it sound so unpleasant, whether it’s deceit or not, it’s not a big deal.

Shi Yaoguang was merely carrying out a friendly "exchange" of feelings with Quan Sicheng.

As for other things...

Didn’t nothing happen after all?

The reason Quan Sicheng believed Shi Yaoguang liked him was not only due to his carelessness, but even more so because he had feelings for Shi Yaoguang.

When it was impossible for him to be with Shi Yaoguang, he was working hard to suppress his feelings.

Now that he finally had the opportunity to release these feelings, wouldn’t he give it his all?

Again, this is a perfectly normal reaction, there’s no need to feel any pressure or anything.

In his eyes, he was the protagonist of this world, and he had fallen into evil but could still cultivate.

Wouldn’t it then be up to him to decide who he wanted to be with?

So, he made a decision on his own, going beyond what Heavenly Dao decreed.

He wanted to be with Shi Yaoguang.

Not in that broad sense of being together.

But truly being together.

...

When put like that, it may sound a bit complicated.

Quan Sicheng’s mindset is probably a lot like the ancient Lu Bu...

Lu Bu, who fell in love with Diao Chan, wanted to be with Diao Chan...

Diao Chan was controlled by her godfather, while he was controlled by Heavenly Dao.

Although the details differ, the essence is similar.

Right now, he had only one thought.

He must resist Heavenly Dao to the end.

Naturally, Shi Yaoguang supported his thought.

Besides, he didn’t need to put too much effort into resisting.

As for expressing any dissatisfaction, it was better to wait for her to come to him.

Shi Yaoguang admitted, she did it on purpose.

She wanted to deceive Quan Sicheng out of money and charm him, so what about it!

Having seen through the charade between Heavenly Dao and Quan Sicheng, she couldn’t just let the enemy knock on her doorstep without fighting back, nor could she keep a smiling face to meet them, right?

As for scheming, it’s not only Heavenly Dao who can do it—she can too.

It’s all about whose skills are superior!

Heavenly Dao was still unaware that Shi Yaoguang had confessed to Quan Sicheng; he was currently with Quan Jinbei, working hard to purify the Demonic Qi.

The Demonic Qi was of his own doing, and that he couldn’t resolve it himself was true as well.

If left unchecked, the Demonic Qi would continue to grow, and the affected area would inevitably expand.

Once the area expanded, the number of people falling into evil would naturally increase.

By then, to resolve the issue, it would be necessary to have the Demonic Qi restrained, meaning more people would need to cultivate immortality.

In the Age of Dharma Decline, the desire to cultivate immortality would inevitably deplete the already scarce Spiritual Energy in the air.

Once the Spiritual Energy was exhausted, this world would come to destruction.
