Chapter 530: Jiao Wan’er
Huang Rong pulled out a dagger from somewhere and made a few threatening gestures at Song Qingshu’s face and neck. Seeing that he still didn’t react, she couldn’t help but scoff, “Sleeping like a pig. Fine, considering your contribution in resisting the invaders, I’ll let you off today.”
However, recalling the fright she just experienced, Huang Rong felt that letting him go so easily was too lenient. She glanced around the room and spotted an inkstone and a brush on the table, her eyes lighting up instantly.
“It’s not easy to fool you once; I’m not confident I can trick you again next time. Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, fleeing is the best. Better leave a note.” As she spoke, Huang Rong picked up the brush and began doodling on his face, mumbling to herself.
After a while, satisfied with her handiwork, Huang Rong nodded approvingly, “Young and irresponsible, messing with women—this is your retribution.”
She tossed the brush aside and wiped the ink on her hands onto Song Qingshu’s clothes. Grabbing a pre-packed bundle from the bedside, she made sure no one was watching outside and then sneaked out on tiptoe.
Song Qingshu was highly skilled in martial arts, and Huang Rong had no idea when he might wake up. She dared not linger, so she hurriedly packed her things and left in the dead of night.
Not long after Huang Rong’s departure, Song Qingshu, who had been lying on the bed like a dead pig, suddenly opened his eyes—completely sober.
He touched his neck, as if still feeling the chill of the dagger, and muttered to himself, “Good thing you couldn’t bring yourself to do it. Otherwise… heh heh.”
Earlier, Ah Jiu had suggested that he find a way to get rid of Huang Rong, so Song Qingshu came up with this idea. Instead of trying to chase her away, it was easier to scare her into leaving on her own.
