Chapter 578: The Bewitching Lady
After her attacks were twice thwarted by Song Qingshu, Li Mochou immediately realized Zhao Min’s importance in his heart. Knowing it was impossible to k!ll her, Li Mochou felt a sense of despair. Her voice took on a faint hint of sorrow and resignation.
“If it weren’t for the fact that you’re gravely injured, this princess would’ve already cut out your tongue for spouting such nonsense.” Zhao Min’s face reddened as she quickly distanced herself from the two, standing by the window with her back to them.
Song Qingshu looked equally embarrassed. Extending a hand to help Li Mochou up, he infused her with True Qi and asked, “How are you feeling now?”
If it were any other time, being held in his arms like this would have made Li Mochou turn hostile. However, in her current state, she lacked the energy for such thoughts. She replied weakly, “You don’t need to waste your True Qi. I know my body better than anyone.”
Song Qingshu looked apologetic. “This is all my fault. If not for encountering me, you wouldn’t have gone into Qi deviation.”
Li Mochou shook her head and smiled faintly. “If I hadn’t met you, I’d have died three times already. I’ve done countless evil deeds in my life, and this is merely karma catching up to me. If you truly feel guilty, can you do something for me?”
Hearing the implication of death in her tone, Song Qingshu was startled and quickly asked, “What is it?”
“Years ago, the Matriarch prepared a stone coffin for each of us disciples in the Ancient Tomb Sect. Even though I left the sect, I still wish to return to my roots. I believe the Matriarch’s spirit wouldn’t mind. Can you take me back to the Ancient Tomb in Mount Zhongnan? I just want to see the place where I grew up one last time.”
Having roamed the martial world for years with an aura of ruthlessness in her phoenix eyes, Li Mochou now appeared unusually fragile, her gaze filled with pleading.
