Chapter 554: Poisoned
“Ah!”
Meanwhile, Song Qingshu cried out in agony, staggering forward as he flailed toward Mu Wanqing.
“Ah!” Mu Wanqing exclaimed in surprise. Seeing him charge toward the tip of her sword, she instinctively shifted her blade to the side. This slight hesitation caused her to miss the perfect chance to dodge. Before she could react, Song Qingshu had already collided with her, sending them both tumbling.
Mu Wanqing’s vision darkened as she lost her balance and fell backward. Just as she tried to get up, a sudden weight pressed down on her chest—Song Qingshu had landed on top of her.
The girl’s soft and fragrant body left Song Qingshu reluctant to move. He closed his eyes, pretending to be gravely injured and murmured dramatically, “Ah, I can’t… I can’t take it anymore… I’m going to die… I can’t breathe…”
Mu Wanqing, furious and humiliated, could feel the heat of his breath on her chest. “Get off me! I’m the one who can’t breathe!” she yelled, shoving him repeatedly, but Song Qingshu wouldn’t budge.
Song Qingshu hurriedly explained, “Miss, I swear I don’t mean to take advantage of you! That scoundrel struck me with his palm just now—I’m completely shattered and can’t even move!”
Mu Wanqing had witnessed Qinghai Yixiao’s palm strike. With his level of martial arts, an ordinary person wouldn’t have survived. Song Qingshu’s mere survival was already a stroke of fortune.
Although she understood this, accepting it was another matter. Regret filled her heart—had she known things would turn out like this, she would have pierced him with her sword earlier, sparing herself the indignity.
