Chapter 589: A Secret Betrothal
‘What a captivating little enchantress!’
Song Qingshu’s heart skipped a beat as he was swayed by her syrupy sweet voice. He quickly said, “Speak properly, don’t use that tone.”
“Seductress,” Li Mochou, who was nearby, also felt her heart flutter and couldn’t help but curse inwardly with a term she never thought she’d use.
“Fine, I won’t,” Zhao Min replied, a sly glint flashing in her eyes upon seeing Song Qingshu’s reaction. However, under the gaze of other women, even someone as bold and fiery as her, born on the Mongolian plains, felt slightly embarrassed to use such a tone. She quickly returned to normal. “Am I beyond saving now?”
Zhao Min still had many aspirations unfulfilled and much left to accomplish. If she had perished earlier alongside the Ming Zun, she might have accepted it. But now, with Ming Zun escaping successfully, dying silently here on Blackwood Cliff felt utterly unsatisfying.
“Ming Zun inflicted severe injuries on you to buy enough time for himself. However, he couldn’t afford to let you die outright, so he held back slightly. Because he restrained his strength, I may be able to heal your internal injuries…” Song Qingshu had already evaluated her condition and briefly explained the treatment.
“Oh?” Zhao Min’s face suddenly flushed, revealing an odd smile. “I thought you were going to suggest that… method again.” With Li Mochou present, she felt too embarrassed to say “dual cultivation” directly.
Song Qingshu straightened his face. “Do I look like someone who would take advantage of others?”
Zhao Min tilted her head, scrutinizing him for a moment before laughing. “You do! Didn’t you trick me like that last time?”
