The Secret of the Goddess

Chapter 2 Follow closely

"What do you want to do? I'm warning you, it's best not to mess around!" Xiao Qingruo looked stern but pretended to be calm.

"My subordinate offended the eldest lady today. With the eldest lady's temper, he will definitely send someone to kill me when I go back." Xue Yi forced her to have no way to retreat, with her back pressed against the wall.

"I can promise that as long as you let me go, I will never embarrass you after you get out." Xiao Qingruo said immediately, with a serious tone that seemed very credible.

But Xue Yi didn’t believe it!

He shook his head: "How much is the promise worth? Without a third person to testify, even if you break the promise, I can't do anything about it."

"Then what do you want?" Xiao Qingruo's chest heaved.

Xue Yi stared at her elegant and proud face, already having a complete answer in his heart.

But he couldn't say it directly, otherwise it would be wrong.

"Whether it's for you or me, today's matter is a secret related to life and death. I don't want to die, and I believe the eldest lady does too," Xue Yi said.

Xiao Qingruo nodded, completely agreeing with this statement.

Xue Yi continued: "You are far more powerful than me. It's easy to kill me. I can't believe you. Therefore, if you want to walk out of this abandoned garden safely, you must agree to a condition and save me from worries. Otherwise, I would rather kill you first and then try my best to escape from Shengwei Mansion, at least with a 10% chance of survival."

"10%? You overestimate yourself. This is the Shengwei Mansion. If you dare to kill me, you will die without rebirth!" Xiao Qingruo said.

"Maybe."

This is not important.

"Tell me your conditions and I'll think about it." Xiao Qingruo breathed calmly to calm herself.

Xue Yi took a breath, sniffed the faint fragrance of the eldest lady, moved the corner of his mouth, and said: "As long as the eldest lady gives me an identity that can stay by your side all the time, let me make sure that you have no chance to order me to be killed. I believe you."

"Stay by my side all the time? Do you want to..."

Xiao Qingruo's expression changed.

Being followed all the time, doesn't that mean she is being watched?

And it’s the kind that works 24 hours a day!

"Welcome me as your wife, and I will be your man." Xue Yi said.

"Impossible! You're dreaming!" Xiao Qingruo refused without even thinking.

She couldn't even look down on the prince, let alone a bodyguard?

She is a woman who will become the Emperor of Heaven. She will never have close contact with any man in this life, especially this kind of shit!

Xue Yi was not disappointed: "I knew you would refuse. There was nothing I could do. I had to do it myself, be your man for a while, and then kill you and escape."

As he spoke, a big hand fell on Xiao Qingruo's shoulder and slid down.

"Stop! Wait!"

Xiao Qingruo clenched her fingers. She was already panicking in her heart, but she still managed not to show any vulnerability on the surface.

She stopped Xue Yi and said, "I have another way!"

"What solution?" Xue Yi asked.

Xiao Qingruo gritted his teeth, feeling a hundred reluctances in his heart, but he still said it: "If you want to follow me all the time, you don't have to marry me. I can let you be my personal bodyguard, and you will be inseparable. And... it can save a lot of trouble. . You also know that I have many suitors. If you marry me directly, not to mention how the Sixth Prince, Prince Shenwu, Emperor Yan and others will make things difficult for you, even the master of Shengwei Palace will not let you go!"

"Personal bodyguard?" Xue Yi frowned, as if he was embarrassed.

In fact, this is the answer he wants!

Being the personal bodyguard of the eldest lady not only allows you to monitor her, but also relieves you of the hard work of ordinary bodyguards, giving you a lot of time to practice.

This would be the perfect identity for him!

The reason why he didn't directly propose to be a personal bodyguard, but proposed to marry into the family first, was actually just to raise the bargaining chip and increase the probability of successful negotiation.

According to the "house-breaking effect" in psychology, if you directly make a small request, the other party may disagree. If you first make a big request that the other party cannot accept, and then make a smaller request, the probability of agreeing will be much greater.

If Xiao Qingruo said it herself, she would have no reason to refuse anymore.

"Make a decision quickly, I can't stay here for too long!" Xiao Qingruo urged.

Xue Yi: "The personal bodyguard seems pretty good, but I am a man after all. Sometimes it is inconvenient for me to follow you. What should I do?"

Xiao Qingruo thought for a while and replied: "I'll just let you follow. Wait...you don't even want to sleep with me, right?"

Xue Yi shook his head: "That's not necessary. You can sleep on the bed and I can sleep on the floor."

Xiao Qingruo:......

Isn't this the same? I still have to enter her house!

"You can refuse. Anyway, the worst thing you can do is die. I don't mind rolling with you on the grass before I die, my eldest goddess." Xue Yi said with a faint smile as he had the winning ticket.

"You... okay, I agree."

Xiao Qingruo gritted his teeth. There was really nothing he could do, so he had to agree first.

From now on, Xue Yi is her personal bodyguard.

"You have to keep my secret and maintain my safety. You must not offend me in front of others, otherwise we will both perish together!" she said.

"That's natural. We are all smart people and no one wants to get into trouble." Xue Yi nodded.

Calculating the time, it was almost time for him to go back, otherwise the captain of the guard would cause trouble for him.

He let go of his hand, swept away the grass clippings from Xiao Qingruo's clothes, and said: "After walking out of this abandoned garden, whenever you meet other people in the house who ask about my new identity, you will immediately reveal my new identity. You can choose your own wording, and it must be reasonable. . I will follow you within three steps. If you say anything against me or want to use any reason to get rid of me, I will kill you immediately. "

"Okay, I understand." Xiao Qingruo nodded.

Although she was filled with hatred and wanted to chop Xue Yi into 100,000 pieces, she could only obey now.

Within three steps, it would be too easy for a Gang Qi realm master to kill her. Even if there were other masters nearby, there would be no time to save her.

"Miss, please." Xue Yi moved out of the way.

The two walked out of the abandoned garden one step behind and two steps apart.

…

Not long after leaving the abandoned garden, they encountered a group of patrolling guards.

"Miss."

"I've met the eldest lady."

When the guards saw Xiao Qingruo and Xue Yi coming from behind, they saluted quickly.

At this time, Xiao Qingruo had adjusted her mental state, and her previously aggrieved expression had disappeared, replaced by her previous calmness, nobility, and indifference.

When she met the patrolling guard, she walked over without even looking at him.

The guards didn't think it was strange, they all knew that she didn't like to talk to others.

But seeing Xue Yi behind me...

"Xiao Xue, where were you just now? Why are you with the eldest lady?" asked the leading guard captain.

This captain is Xue Yi's immediate boss, the first-class guard of the Shengwei Mansion, named Li Qing. His strength has reached the first level of the Cave Heaven Realm, which is very powerful.

Guard levels: commander, first class, second class, third class.

There are only 24 first-class guards in total, and each one has considerable power.

"I was in a hurry just now, so I went to the abandoned garden next to me to relieve myself..." Xue Yi replied slowly, his eyes always focused on Xiao Qingruo.

According to the rules, Xue Yi did not need to answer at this time. Xiao Qingruo should speak to show that Xue Yi would follow her from now on.

But Xiao Qingruo deliberately didn't speak at this moment.
