Upon Song Qingshu’s sudden appearance, Madame Tang was first startled, but then recognizing his face, she was overjoyed. She rushed forward and hugged him from behind, burying her head deep into his back. “Young Master, I… I thought I would never see you again!”
Song Qingshu patted the back of her hand in reassurance. In truth, the reason he hadn’t informed her in advance that he was hiding nearby was that he wanted to see how she would handle Wanyan Liang.
The result had pleased him greatly. Though she had seemed to give in at the last moment, it wasn’t really her fault. She had tried every possible way to reject Wanyan Liang, far beyond his expectations. After all, in his mind, while Madame Tang was an alluring beauty, she still carried a hint of a courtesan’s fickle nature.
“It’s alright now. He won’t be able to bully you anymore.” Song Qingshu quickly comforted her.
“Really?” Madame Tang looked up at him in disbelief.
“Of course.” Song Qingshu smiled faintly. Earlier, when he used the Bewitching Technique, he had taken the opportunity to plant a mental imprint in Wanyan Liang’s mind, making him lose all interest in Madame Tang. If nothing unexpected happened, Wanyan Liang would never bother her again.
However, given Wanyan Liang’s high status and formidable willpower, he was no ordinary person like Ah Zi. While Song Qingshu could easily use the Bewitching Technique to turn Ah Zi into his devoted servant, he couldn’t do the same to Wanyan Liang. He could only issue him simple commands that wouldn’t trigger strong subconscious resistance.
For instance, Wanyan Liang had only ever viewed Madame Tang as a plaything. Since he had already had his way with her before, Song Qingshu’s command to abandon her did not meet much resistance. However, when he tried a similar command to make Wanyan Liang give up on Huang Rong, he encountered fierce subconscious resistance. Song Qingshu didn’t dare to push too hard, fearing it might shock Wanyan Liang back to his senses.
After consoling Madame Tang, Song Qingshu turned his attention back to Wanyan Liang. Though he had decided not to kill him, there was still information to be gathered. He seized the opportunity to ask, “Was the Jin Empire behind the disappearance of the Wudang heroes?”
Song Qingshu’s heart leaped with joy, and he quickly followed up, “Where are they now?”
“The Laundry Courtyard.” Wanyan Liang uttered an unfamiliar name.
“Where is the Laundry Courtyard?” Song Qingshu instinctively asked.
However, Wanyan Liang suddenly fell silent. Realizing that this place must be highly classified, Song Qingshu decided not to press too hard. If he pushed too much and caused Wanyan Liang to regain awareness, it would alert the enemy and make rescuing Song Yuanqiao and the others even harder.
Song Qingshu glanced at Madame Tang for confirmation, but she shook her head. “I have been in the Jin Empire for so long, yet I have never heard of this place.”
Memorizing the name carefully, Song Qingshu continued his interrogation, but the rest of the information he obtained was mostly useless. Noticing Wanyan Liang’s pale face and cold sweat, and worried that Murong Bo outside might notice something amiss, he quickly ended the questioning. “Go relieve yourself.” He issued his final command.
Suddenly, Wanyan Liang’s eyes lit up as if the alluring Huang Rong was lying on the bed before him, beckoning seductively. He eagerly tore off his pants and threw himself onto the bed, clutching the blanket.
Madame Tang’s face turned red. She spat in disgust and quickly turned away. Seeing the once-dominant Wanyan Liang reduced to such a state filled her with immense satisfaction. Her gaze toward Song Qingshu was full of admiration. “Young Master, you are amazing!”
To her, Wanyan Liang had always been a devil. She never imagined he could be dealt with so effortlessly. At this moment, Song Qingshu seemed almost godlike to her.
Song Qingshu smirked and whispered teasingly in her ear, “You already know what my greatest skill is…”
Madame Tang’s cheeks instantly flushed. She pouted and whispered, “You’re so annoying~”
Over the past two days, Song Qingshu had thoroughly indulged in the pleasures of her b0dy. Now that he had gained some clue about Song Yuanqiao’s whereabouts, his mind was at ease. Seeing her seductive glance made his heart itch with desire, and he longed to pull her into his arms and shower her with affection.
However, with Wanyan Liang panting nearby, he wasn’t about to indulge in such an unseemly act.
“You can’t stay here any longer. Although Wanyan Liang is under my suggestion and won’t bother you, if you keep appearing before him, something unexpected might happen. How about this? Go to my room and hide for now. Once he leaves, you’ll be free.” Song Qingshu said.
“Mm~” Madame Tang nestled against him like a delicate bird before suddenly looking worried. “My brother has always cared for me deeply. Yet, when Wanyan Liang came here tonight, he didn’t intervene. I fear something may have happened to him. Young Master, could you check on his condition for me?”
Recalling how Tang Kuo Bian had been severely injured by Huang Rong, Song Qingshu frowned slightly. Wanyan Liang and his men had seemed rather amused at the time. It was likely that Tang Kuo Bian’s situation was dire.
Even though Song Qingshu considered him more of a drinking companion than a true sworn brother, they had still formed a bond. He decided to at least check on him. “Alright, I’ll look into it. You go to my room first and clean yourself up for me.” ṛ𝘢Ꞑȱ𝖇Èṡ
Madame Tang’s eyes gleamed with desire as she leaned close, biting her lip and blowing softly in his ear. “Tonight, my b0dy belongs entirely to you, Young Master. You can do whatever you want with me.”
She deliberately spoke in a slow, sultry tone, her faint nasal voice sending a wave of heat through Song Qingshu’s body. He wanted nothing more than to take her right then and there. But knowing his priorities, he forced himself to stay composed, determined to complete her request first before indulging in the pleasures awaiting him.
Carrying Madame Tang, Song Qingshu floated out of the window. His Qinggong was now at its peak, and he could cover dozens of meters in a mere flicker of motion. Since the guards were focused on external threats and Murong Bo was stationed at the front, no one noticed their presence.
As for Wanyan Liang, Song Qingshu had implanted a deep suggestion—when he woke up, he would forget everything that had happened and assume that Madame Tang had simply served him and left on her own.
In a secluded spot, Song Qingshu and Madame Tang parted ways.
With graceful steps, Madame Tang quietly made her way to his room. As she pushed the door open, she was still contemplating the best way to serve her man.
But just as she stepped inside, she suddenly felt a numbness at her waist. Her vision went dark, and she collapsed to the floor, unconscious.
Watching Madame Tang fall, Huang Rong scoffed. “Shameless woman, sneaking into a man’s room in the middle of the night.”
After reuniting with the Beggar Sect spies, she had rushed back, concerned for Guo Jing’s safety. She had been waiting for Song Qingshu in his room, only to find an unfamiliar woman arriving instead.
Stuffing Madame Tang into a wardrobe, Huang Rong yawned as fatigue washed over her. She waited a little longer, but seeing that Song Qingshu had yet to return, she hesitated before deciding to get some rest. She needed to be in peak condition to save Brother Jing.
Lying on the bed, she felt uncomfortable in her Soft Hedgehog Armor. After some thought, she removed it and tossed it aside. Having spent so much time with Song Qingshu, she knew that while he was a flirt, he still had his limits and wouldn’t take advantage of her.
Exhausted from the night’s events, Huang Rong quickly drifted into a deep, peaceful sleep. (G: Sweet dreams~)
