Chapter 695 The confused demon girl - I Became the Rich Second-Generation Villain

Wang Haoran was well aware in his heart that Hua Jieyu's passionate demeanor was largely feigned. If Hua Jieyu used such an approach on a proper gentleman, success would be inevitable. However, Wang Haoran wasn't such a person. "Young lady, since that's the case, please forgive my offense!" Wang Haoran said, his hand moving with lightning speed as he grabbed forcefully forward. By the time Hua Jieyu reacted, she already felt herself being grasped. She was momentarily paralyzed, as if struck by lightning, even her feigned seductive smile froze. Beside them, Su Xuan's eyes nearly bulged out, but what followed was a wave of intense jealousy. [Ding, the host caused damage to Su Xuan's mentality, earning 8000 villain points, Su Xuan's protagonist halo -400, host's villain halo +400!] Although Hua Jieyu seemed frivolous, in reality, during her time with Su Xuan, he hadn't even held her hand. Yet now, Hua Jieyu was taken advantage of... The scene was undeniably a blow to Su Xuan. Hua Jieyu herself was baffled. Wasn't he a gentleman? How could he use such a lewd move? Feigning shock, Wang Haoran let his hand linger intentionally before retracting it as if scalded: "Why didn't you dodge, young lady?" You moved so fast, how could I have dodged? Hua Jieyu internally grumbled, but since the deed was done, she could only bite the bullet and continue with her act, smiling sweetly: "Didn't I just say, I would not resist, my lord?" Seeing Hua Jieyu's shameless behavior, Xu Qingtong became infuriated, leaning close to Wang Haoran, she whispered: "Use force directly, subdue her, and then we'll leave." "No, this is the territory of the Yin Moon Sect. If we really start a fight, we'll be the ones at a disadvantage," Wang Haoran whispered back. Upon hearing this, Xu Qingtong found it reasonable and didn't push the issue further, instead signaling with her eyes for Wang Haoran to make the decision. Wang Haoran pretended to ponder for a moment, then said to Hua Jieyu, "Since the young lady is so welcoming, Qing Tong and I will stay here for a few days. If we impose, please forgive us." "How could it be an imposition? If the lord is willing to stay, it would bring glory to our Yin Moon Sect. You can treat this as your own home without any formality. You are free to visit any part of the Yin Moon Sect," Hua Jieyu paused, then tossed a suggestive glance: "Even, if the lord wishes to visit my boudoir, it’s not an issue." Keep flirting, I'll teach you a lesson sooner or later! Wang Haoran inwardly scoffed, but maintained a facade of seriousness: "Please maintain your propriety, young lady!" "My lord, you are always welcome, even if you visit late at night," Hua Jieyu blinked, then instructed a nearby female disciple: "Prepare the two best guest rooms for our esteemed guests." "Yes, Young Sect Master," the female disciple complied, leading Wang Haoran and Xu Qingtong away. Soon, Wang Haoran and Xu Qingtong were out of Hua Jieyu's sight. Hua Jieyu exhaled deeply, feeling cold sweat down her back. She was always at ease dealing with men, but in front of Wang Haoran, she felt an immense tension. Nevertheless, Hua Jieyu managed to conceal these feelings. Watching Wang Haoran depart, Hua Jieyu instinctively clutched her chest with her slender, fair hand. It seemed that the residual warmth and faint sensation of being held lingered on her chest. Hua Jieyu's heart fluttered, and her pretty face flushed red. Meanwhile, Su Xuan observed everything. [Ding, the host caused damage to Su Xuan's mentality, earning 10000 villain points, Su Xuan's protagonist halo -500, host's villain halo +500!] "Shameless enchantress!" Su Xuan gritted his teeth, letting out a muffled grunt. Though his voice was low, Hua Jieyu caught it. Hua Jieyu snapped back to reality and instructed another waiting female disciple: "Find any guest room for Young Master Su, and have Yu Po Po arrange a time to heal Su Xuan's injuries." Then she turned to Su Xuan and said plainly: "You previously helped the Yin Moon Sect a little. Having someone heal you is our way of returning the favor." Hearing this, Su Xuan felt terribly unbalanced. They were giving the best guest rooms to Wang Haoran, but for him, just any room would do? The difference in treatment was too blatant. Moreover, for his healing, they summoned an old granny? Though he didn't expect Hua Jieyu to heal him personally, shouldn't they at least find a beautiful female disciple from the Yin Moon Sect? What does it mean to send an old granny? Yet, under eaves, one cannot raise their head. Su Xuan had no choice but to acquiesce to Hua Jieyu's arrangement. Because he was in no position to negotiate terms now. However, Su Xuan deeply noted this situation in his heart. Fortunes change; one day, Hua Jieyu would regret betraying him, Su Xuan! As for Xu Qingtong, when he acted as her bodyguard, he endured countless grievances. He once believed that once the flaw in his Grand Mystical Art disappeared, he could finally 'retaliate' against Xu Qingtong. But who knew Xu Qingtong would move on so swiftly. All of you, just wait! Su Xuan screamed inwardly but maintained silence as he followed a guiding female disciple out. With no outsiders around, the female disciple who had earlier brought Wang Haoran and Xu Qingtong from the mountain gate—now punished by Hua Jieyu to sweep the gates for two months—came respectfully before Hua Jieyu. "Young Sect Master, I was right, wasn't I? This gentleman is indeed exceedingly handsome, akin to an exiled immortal," the disciple said. Hua Jieyu detected the hidden meaning in the disciple's words, silently indicated for her to continue. The disciple hesitated for a moment before cautiously saying: "Young Sect Master, can any leeway be given on the gate-sweeping punishment?" "No, as a female disciple of the Yin Moon Sect, you absolutely cannot be charmed by a man. The punishment is to ensure you don't forget this lesson," Hua Jieyu replied sternly. "Young Sect Master, you speak so, yet weren't you also somewhat unnerved in front of that gentleman?" the disciple muttered resentfully. "I was just trying to deceive him!" Hua Jieyu quickly corrected. "Really... was your performance entirely fabricated, or did you truly feel something?" the disciple probed. Hearing this, Hua Jieyu was startled, feeling a cold sweat breaking out on her back. Deep inside, she questioned herself, realizing she did have genuine emotions in her performance before. It was the first time Hua Jieyu had been taken advantage of, or even had such contact with a man. Had it been someone else, Hua Jieyu would surely have killed them. But she hadn't done so to Wang Haoran. There were two reasons: first, she considered herself no match for Wang Haoran; second, she was more shy than angry about the incident. This posed a dangerous signal for Hua Jieyu, whose Yin Moon Profound Arts had yet to achieve perfection. Feeling a jumble of emotions, Hua Jieyu couldn't calm her internal turmoil. Taking a deep breath, Hua Jieyu left the side hall, intending to seek guidance from her mentor, Hua Feixuan. Her master, highly skilled and emotionally unbothered by men, surely had a solution to this plight. (End of chapter)
