Chapter 90: Burst

Song Qingshu tightly closed his lips, showing no intention of answering.

"Little lady, are you mute?" After a one-sided conversation, Dongfang Bubai found it somewhat boring and couldn't help but say, "Are you upset by what I said just now? Don't worry, I was just joking with you."

Song Qingshu gave him a strange look, wondering why Dongfang Bubai suddenly became so talkative and so greedy for his 'beauty.' Did he still have that function?

"Since you won't speak, I'll pull off your veil and see if you are beautiful or ugly." As soon as Dongfang Bubai finished speaking, a silver needle slid between his fingers and he flicked it lightly.

With a ting, Song Qingshu felt a powerful force from the Golden Snake Sword, almost losing control. However, the Golden Snake Sword was deflected by the silver needle, and Dongfang Bubai took the opportunity to close in within three feet of Song Qingshu.

Song Qingshu quickly used the Emei Sect's Golden Summit Cotton Palm and the Nine Styles of Intercepting Hands to block and parry. Dongfang Bubai casually deflected his moves while praising, "To use two ordinary Emei Sect martial arts so skillfully, your martial arts cultivation is truly impressive, little lady."

Song Qingshu frowned deeply. With every move, it was like a game to Dongfang Bubai. Using only the Golden Summit Cotton Palm and the Nine Styles of Intercepting Hands, he was already struggling, but he had no intention of using more powerful martial arts like the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. He kept using women's techniques.

If not for Dongfang Bubai's constant attempts to lift his veil, Song Qingshu would have died many times over.

Understanding Dongfang Bubai's intentions, Song Qingshu completely abandoned defending the rest of his body and focused entirely on protecting his face.

After more than twenty moves, Dongfang Bubai became increasingly frustrated. The veil was guarded so tightly that several attempts failed. "Little lady, your fighting style is too unfair. This is your fault, you know. If you keep fighting like this, I'll touch other places."

Song Qingshu shuddered but, thinking of the slim chance of survival, he had to endure the disgust and remain vigilant.

"Still not defending the rest of your body?" Dongfang Bubai sneered, "Do you really think I won't touch you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Qingshu felt a slap on his buttocks, his heart racing as he continued to guard his face.

"How ugly are you that you won't let me see your face?" Seeing that touching his buttocks had no effect, Dongfang Bubai felt a bit angry. He thought, as a woman, you let me touch your buttocks, but surely you won't let me touch your chest?

Deciding, Dongfang Bubai changed his moves, both hands directly aiming for the other's chest, thinking that the gap created by her blocking would allow him to pull off her veil and see her true face.

Seeing his move, Song Qingshu's eyes flashed with joy. Not only did he not dodge, but he also pushed his chest forward.

"Poof!" A crisp sound, Dongfang Bubai felt his hands drenched in fluid, his eyes wide with disbelief, muttering, "Burst... burst?"

Song Qingshu had been waiting for this moment of Dongfang Bubai's shock and wouldn't miss such a good opportunity. He immediately used ten layers of power, striking Dongfang Bubai's chest with the Dragon Subduing Palm.

Dongfang Bubai spat out a mouthful of blood and rapidly retreated.

Song Qingshu's palms struck the other's chest, feeling an incredibly soft sensation, he was momentarily stunned. His lower abdomen was immediately kicked by the other's counterattack, his true qi scattered, almost destroying his dantian. He quickly suppressed his injuries and used the Sand Walking Technique to escape as far as possible.

Watching the other disappear into the darkness, Dongfang Bubai stood there, his face flushed, whether from his injuries or something else, he said, "Brat, don't let me find out who you are, or I'll tear you to pieces."

Song Qingshu ran wildly, realizing he had shaken off Dongfang Bubai, he hurriedly ran back to the palace.

After last night's assassination attempt, the guards in the Forbidden City were especially vigilant. Song Qingshu dodged dozens of patrols and finally returned to his room.

As soon as he pushed open the door, a cold, sharp dagger was placed at his neck, his heart sinking to the bottom.

"Song Qingshu, I'll kill you to avenge Brother Yuan..." Before Xia Qingqing could finish speaking, Song Qingshu spat a mouthful of blood onto her clothes and fainted.

"Hey, what are you up to now?" Seeing him collapse onto her, Xia Qingqing was startled and quickly pushed him away.

Seeing Song Qingshu lying motionless on the ground, Xia Qingqing frowned, feeling his pulse, which was extremely weak. Her fingers touched his nose, and his breath was barely there.

Xia Qingqing stood up, looking at the dying Song Qingshu, her face showing hesitation. She gritted her teeth and said, "Since you're about to die, our grudge is settled. You can live or die as you wish."

Song Qingshu and Dongfang Bubai had been chasing each other, and after a fierce battle, he returned just as dawn was breaking. Song Qingshu had only intended to distract the imperial guards and hadn't expected it to take so long, so he had used a light force when striking the pressure points. By the time he returned, Xia Qingqing's pressure points had already naturally released. She found a piece of clothing in the room and had been lying in wait to strike Song Qingshu unexpectedly.

Knowing that it would be harder to escape the palace once it was light, Xia Qingqing retrieved the Golden Snake Sword from Song Qingshu's hand, pushed open the door, and disappeared outside.

After a while, Xia Qingqing returned, looking at Song Qingshu, who was still lying motionless on the ground, her face changing. Finally, she stomped her foot in anger, gritting her teeth, "I must have owed you in a past life."

She bent down and helped Song Qingshu onto the bed, took out a Poria and Polygonum Pill from her pocket, and fed it to him, using her true qi to help him digest the medicine.

After an hour, Xia Qingqing, exhausted and sweating, jumped off the bed, as if trying to convince herself, she muttered, "Last night you saved me and bandaged my wounds, so I'll consider this as repaying you."

After an unknown amount of time, Xia Qingqing, who had fallen asleep at the table, was suddenly awakened by a groan. She quickly turned around and looked at the bed, seeing Song Qingshu muttering, "Water... water..."

Xia Qingqing instinctively poured a cup of water, sat by the bed, and slowly fed it to him.

As she was feeding him, she suddenly realized why she was serving him. Her expression changed, and she abruptly poured the entire cup of water into Song Qingshu's mouth.

"Cough... cough!" Song Qingshu was suddenly choked awake, seeing Xia Qingqing by the bed, a hint of helpless smile appeared on his lips, "Yoyo, I didn't expect you to save me."

"Don't call me that name," Xia Qingqing stood up, her face cold, "I'm just repaying the favor of saving my life."

Song Qingshu struggled to sit up, looking at her with a smile, "Didn't you want to kill me before?"

"I, Xia Qingqing, clearly distinguish between kindness and enmity. I won't take advantage of someone in distress. When you recover, I'll take your life," Xia Qingqing coldly snorted.

"But I didn't fight with Master Yuan, why do you want to kill me?" Song Qingshu felt extremely wronged.

"I don't care, you're one of the accomplices." Thinking of Yuan Chengzhi, Xia Qingqing's nose tingled.

"Uh, okay, but considering our relationship, can you put me last?" Song Qingshu looked at her with a playful smile.

"What relationship do we have!" Xia Qingqing angrily said, but after a moment's thought, she hesitated and said, "If you help me avenge my brother, I might consider not killing you."

"You said we don't have a relationship, why should I help you?" Song Qingshu's eyes twinkled, and he smiled, "Unless you promise to be mine."

"You!" Xia Qingqing was both shocked and angry, about to draw the Golden Snake Sword, but suddenly paused, her face softening, and she said in a gentle and alluring tone, "Okay."

"Are you serious?" This time, it was Song Qingshu's turn to be surprised.

"Of course, if you can help me avenge my brother, I... I will naturally be your servant," Xia Qingqing said, looking embarrassed, but in her heart, she had decided that once she avenged her brother, she would commit suicide to follow him.

Song Qingshu looked at her as if he were seeing her for the first time, then smiled frankly, "Mrs. Yuan, to avenge your husband, you are willing to make such a great sacrifice. I admire you greatly. Although I don't know what you're planning, considering our past, I will help you avenge your brother."

"Are you serious?" Xia Qingqing looked at him in surprise, subconsciously running over and grabbing his arm.

"Of course, but if you don't stop shaking me, my only helper might die soon," Song Qingshu said. Xia Qingqing blushed and let go of his arm.

"To avenge your brother, you must first know who your enemy is. Have you really thought about who your enemy is?" Song Qingshu asked.

"Emperor Kangxi and Dongfang Bubai!" Xia Qingqing said through gritted teeth. After the battle on Jade Emperor Peak, someone finally remembered the true identity of the young man who looked like a woman.

"Am I not your enemy?" Song Qingshu looked at her with a smile.

"Of course not." Xia Qingqing's face turned red, and she replied awkwardly.

"Okay, then what do you think of my martial arts?" Song Qingshu asked.

Xia Qingqing thought for a moment, recalling the scenes where he had displayed his martial arts, and finally said, "Very high, Chapter 91: Dongfang Bubai Comes to Check the Room
