Chapter 43: Living in Different Beds, Dying in the Same Grave

Song Qingshu chuckled, rubbed his hands together, and let his fingertips explore the highest points of Mu Wanqing's body, moving back and forth. "But I don't know how to unblock the acupoints. Should I press here or here?"

"Don't touch me!" Mu Wanqing cried out, quickly closing her eyes, her face losing its color.

"Since you're already my wife, what's the harm in me touching you?" Song Qingshu's fingers moved closer to Mu Wanqing's body.

"If you dare to touch me, I'll bite my tongue and die!" Mu Wanqing glared at him with her beautiful eyes, her teeth lightly biting her red lips.

"But how can I unblock the acupoints without touching you?" Song Qingshu's expression seemed innocent.

"Find a branch over there and bring it here, and I'll teach you." Mu Wanqing was almost in tears.

"Okay!" Song Qingshu happily ran to the side, and after a few breaths, he returned. "Wife, do you think this stick is thick enough?"

Hearing him call her "wife," Mu Wanqing didn't have time to get angry before she saw Song Qingshu holding a branch as thick as a thigh. She felt like she was about to go crazy!

"Don't use such a thick one, find one as thick as a finger." Mu Wanqing wished she could shoot this hateful person with an arrow.

"Oh, your body can't handle such a thick stick, you should have said so earlier." Song Qingshu muttered as he turned around.

Mu Wanqing almost broke through her acupoints from anger, suspiciously looking at him a few times. Seeing his silly expression, she couldn't help but say fiercely, "Dog Egg, if I find out you're deliberately teasing me, I'll kill you."

"Wife, what does 'teasing' mean?" Song Qingshu turned his head, looking at her with a puzzled expression.

"You..." Mu Wanqing was momentarily speechless, then said impatiently, "Never mind, just find the branch."

"Oh~" Song Qingshu picked and chose, finally finding a suitable stick. "Wife, what should I do now?"

"I was hit at the Yaoyu point. You can unblock it by hitting the Jixia point with the branch." As Mu Wanqing spoke, her ears turned red.

"Where is this... Jixia point?" Song Qingshu asked with wide, innocent eyes, though he actually knew very well from the Nine Yin Manual. He was just teasing her.

Mu Wanqing hesitated for a moment, then said, "On the inner side of the thigh..." Her voice grew softer, and she turned her face away in embarrassment.

"Ah, I see~" Song Qingshu seemed to be thinking. Just as Mu Wanqing was about to speak, she saw him poking around her inner thigh with the stick.

"Wrong place!" Mu Wanqing's voice was tinged with tears. "It's three inches above the knee."

Seeing Mu Wanqing's tears falling like pearls onto the grass, Song Qingshu felt a lump in his throat and slowed down his movements.

No man could bear to tease her when she looked so tearful. Song Qingshu was a man, so he was no exception.

He properly used the branch to hit her Jixia point. As soon as Mu Wanqing regained control of her body, she jumped up, raised her sleeve arrow, and aimed to shoot Song Qingshu.

She had already planned how to deal with this hateful boy, but seeing his innocent and silly face, she couldn't bring herself to do it.

Tears welled up in her eyes again, and Mu Wanqing squatted down, burying her head in her knees and crying.

"Wife, why are you crying?" Song Qingshu asked, seemingly oblivious to the danger.

"Go away! Sob~" Mu Wanqing cried even harder, initially sad about the humiliation of the day, then thinking about her unrequited feelings for Duan Yu, feeling that the heavens were too cruel.

Finally, her sobs gradually subsided. Mu Wanqing, with red and swollen eyes, looked up and saw that Song Qingshu was still there, leaning against a tree and snoring.

"Ha ha!" Seeing his drooling face, Mu Wanqing couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

"Wife, you're awake~" Song Qingshu opened his eyes and laughed foolishly.

For some reason, Mu Wanqing wasn't angry this time. She was naturally reclusive and had few friends due to her upbringing. After learning that Duan Yu was her brother, she had completely broken down, with no one to confide in, making her feel especially lonely in the world. This Dog Egg, though silly, seemed to genuinely care about her...

"Dog Egg, what's your real name?" She wiped the tears from her cheeks with the back of her hand and looked up at him.

"You already know I'm called Dog Egg, why ask again? You're so silly." Song Qingshu grinned.

"Do you really call yourself Dog Egg?" Mu Wanqing was surprised. No parents would name their child that.

"Yes, my mother named me that, but she's no longer with us." Song Qingshu thought of his mother from his past life, feeling a pang of sadness.

Mu Wanqing, wanting to comfort him, found herself at a loss for words. Her prideful nature took over, and she remained silent.

"By the way, where do you live?" After a while, Mu Wanqing noticed it was getting dark. She was worried about encountering Yun Zhonghe and thought it would be safer to stay with Dog Egg, who could act as a free bodyguard. As for him being a man, Mu Wanqing glanced at him and automatically excluded him from that category.

"Home? After my mother passed away, I had no home. Later, I lived wherever I could find a cave." Song Qingshu's nose twitched. "Wherever there was a cave, that was my home."

Mu Wanqing looked at him with some sympathy. No wonder Dog Egg was so silly, living like a wild man, his intelligence...

Of course, it wouldn't be normal.

"Where have you been staying these past two days?" A cold wind had started to blow, and Mu Wanqing looked at the sky, estimating that a heavy rain was coming. She wanted to find shelter quickly to avoid getting wet.

Song Qingshu's eyes lit up, and he pointed to the cliff below. "I've been living down there these past few days."

Mu Wanqing suspiciously came to the edge of the cliff, grabbed a nearby tree, and leaned out to look. All she saw was mist, with no visible place to stand. She angrily said, "You're lying!"

"No, no," Song Qingshu waved his hands. "If you don't believe me, I can take you down there to see for yourself."

"How?" Mu Wanqing stared at him blankly.

"You hold onto me, and we'll jump down together." Song Qingshu grinned.

Mu Wanqing was furious but quickly calmed down. Thinking about her life with Duan Yu, she had lost all interest in living. Jumping down and dying would be a relief, but if people found them, they might think they were a couple who died together. The thought made her shudder.

Song Qingshu saw Mu Wanqing's face turn pale and then shiver, and he muttered, "Wife, are you coming?"

Mu Wanqing gave a sad smile, thinking that death was the end of everything, and nodded.

Song Qingshu laughed and came to her side, wrapping his left arm around her soft waist and holding her tightly.

Mu Wanqing realized what was happening and was about to resist, but Song Qingshu had already jumped off the cliff with her.

Chapter 44: The Five Mountains Divine Sword

Mu Wanqing closed her eyes in resignation, but the expected fall didn't happen. She opened her eyes in confusion and found that they were standing on a platform jutting out from the cliff wall. Looking up, she saw that it was several yards from where they had jumped, with mist swirling around the mountain, making it impossible to see this hidden spot from above.

Realizing she was in another man's arms, Mu Wanqing quickly pushed Song Qingshu away, awkwardly looking for a topic. "This is where you live?"

Savoring the unique scent of the girl, which was neither like orchid nor musk, Song Qingshu smiled. "Yes, it's going to rain, follow me."

Mu Wanqing cautiously followed him. When she saw the tombstone of Jin She Langjun, she was startled, her voice trembling. "Why is there a grave here?"

"What's so surprising about that?" Song Qingshu looked at her strangely, indifferent. "Judging by the elegant and refined burial site, this Jin She Langjun must have been a hermit sage."

"Enter my door, and bear the consequences." Mu Wanqing read the inscription on the wall, puzzled. "It seems this predecessor left behind some martial arts secrets..."

"When I first came here, there wasn't even a feather." Song Qingshu said resentfully, handing the dry food from his bag to Mu Wanqing.

Hesitantly looking at the large pancake in her hand, Mu Wanqing, out of a woman's natural caution, worried it might contain knockout drugs. But then she thought, since she had been immobilized earlier, this Dog Egg hadn't done anything... She brought the pancake to her lips and took small, gentle bites.

Being alone with a man, Mu Wanqing felt very uncomfortable and didn't want to spend the time in silence. She asked casually, "Dog Egg, what do you plan to do tomorrow?"

"Dig for treasure." Song Qingshu's answer completely surprised Mu Wanqing.

"Dig for what treasure?" Mu Wanqing looked at him in shock.

"I heard there's treasure on Mount Hua, so I came to dig. I found this place a few days ago." Song Qingshu thought for a moment and said.

"Do you mean martial arts secrets or gold and silver?" Mu Wanqing recalled the scene in the cave and felt a sudden realization.

"What martial arts secrets or gold and silver can you eat?" Song Qingshu said foolishly. "I'm looking for a wife. I heard there are fairies on Mount Hua. Although you're very beautiful, I still want to look for a prettier fairy."

Mu Wanqing rolled her eyes at him, too lazy to respond, and closed her eyes to rest, her right hand tightly gripping the sword hilt, secretly on guard.

After a long while, Mu Wanqing opened her eyes and saw that Song Qingshu was already lying on the ground, sound asleep. She couldn't help but smile and also fell asleep...

The next morning, Mu Wanqing looked at the several-yard-high cliff and wondered how to get up. Song Qingshu came to her side and said, "Hehe, leave it to me."
