Chapter 179: A clever wager

Lan Fenghuang was taken aback and said, “Didn’t the Cult Master ask me to treat him well?”

With a flash of red shadow, Dongfang Muxue approached Song Qingshu, grabbed his wrist, checked his pulse, and said angrily, “Song Qingshu is seriously injured now, how could this seat tell you to treat him well with a woman!”

“You didn’t join in the fun yourself, did you?” Dongfang Muxue suddenly looked suspiciously at Lan Fenghuang.

Lan Fenghuang felt a chill in her heart, and quickly explained, “This concubine is the Cult Master’s woman, how dare I serve other men.”

‘Vixen, you are shameless!’ Qu Fei, who was beside her, muttered in her heart.

“Then throw that girl from last night into the Spirit Snake Cave.” Dongfang Muxue’s face sank, and ordered as if she was talking about a trivial matter.

Song Qingshu was deeply angry when he heard her. No matter if he did something to Zhong Ling last night or not, it should already be clear to everyone that she was now his woman. But, Dongfang Muxue decided her life and death without even asking him. Wasn’t that extremely unreasonable?

“You don’t seem to have asked for my opinion?” Song Qingshu couldn’t stop sneering.

“No need.” Dongfang Muxue replied lightly.

“Really? If you don’t ask me, how would you know who the woman was last night?” Song Qingshu decided to act according to the situation.

“Huh?” Dongfang Muxue gave Lan Fenghuang a puzzled look.

Lan Fenghuang looked puzzled, “Wasn’t it the little girl who was captured yesterday?”

“Of course not…” Song Qingshu shook his head, “And she’s not just a little girl, she is the daughter of Duan Zhengchun of the kingdom of Dali, and the Five Poison Cult is situated in Dali. It would be better for you to win her over.”

As the leader of a faction, Dongfang Muxue, of course, could clearly distinguish the priorities of things. If it was an ordinary little girl, it would be alright to just kill her and be done with it, but if the other party was the daughter of the King of Dali, it would make things much more inconvenient. Now Dongfang Muxue was injured, her strength has been greatly damaged, and she planned to return to Heimuya one day, so she was naturally unwilling to give up any potential help.

“After a night of work, you should have figured out her situation clearly.” Dongfang Muxue chuckled, “Since you want to protect her, it seems that the two of you have a good relationship, so I will hand her over to you. No matter what method you use, you must train her, make her join the Five Poison Cult and make her our ally. Otherwise, one day, she will go back to the palace and talk to the King of Dali, which would not be a good thing for the Five Poison Cult. It would’ve been much less troublesome to kill her off.”

“Uh, don’t use the word “train” if you don’t know how to use it.” Song Qingshu’s face had a black line, “I’ll try to make it work.”

He knew in his heart that for Zhong Ling was a quirky little girl, in order to save her life, he had to make her join the Five Poison Cult, and it was not impossible for her to recognize Lan Phoenix as her master.

“Let’s talk about that woman last night.” Dongfang Muxue smiled maliciously, Qu Feiyan and Lan Fenghuang who were standing beside her all pricked up their ears, and the fire of gossip was burning in their eyes.

“I think it’s better for us to talk about how to treat my internal injuries first. Didn’t Cult Master Dongfang say that I’d know after we reached the Five Poison Cult?”

With Lan Fenghuang and Qu Feiyan present, Song Qingshu wasn’t sure if they knew her identity as Dongfang Muxue. So, he did not dare to call her elder sister and dear sister.

“You speak first.” Dongfang Muxue’s tone meant that she would not compromise.

Looking at Dongfang Muxue dressed in men’s clothing, Song Qingshu became a little absentminded for a moment. Although conquering this kind of woman gave him a sense of accomplishment, her personality was a bit too strong. When it came to a wife to marry, it was better to choose a more gentle and considerate woman like Shuang’er. She was so soothing to the soul.

“Young Master Song, shouldn’t you reply to the Cult Master?” Lan Fenghuang saw Song Qingshu just standing there frozen, she didn’t know what he was thinking, so she couldn’t help getting worried for him.

Song Qingshu came back to his senses and  lightly replied, “She is your superior, not mine. You need to listen to her words, but I don’t need to.” Seeing Dongfang Muxue twisting her brows, he thought that his treatment was still in her hands, so he quickly changed the conversation, “But if you women want to hear some gossip, I can say it and share it with you to satisfy your curiosity.”

Lan Fenghuang and Qu Feiyan didn’t realize the mystery in his words, they thought the woman he was talking about was just referring to them, and they didn’t think much about it, so they quickly said, “Young Master Song, please tell us, we really want to listen!”

“This is a bit of a long story, in order to talk about…” Before Song Qingshu could finish speaking, Dongfang Muxue interrupted him directly, “Then make that long story short.”

Song Qingshu didn’t get angry, and quickly said, “Simply put, I was rap*ed.”

“Pfft!” Qu Feiyan just sipped a cup of tea into her mouth. Hearing Song Qingshu’s words, she couldn’t hold back and spit it out.

Dongfang Muxue couldn’t help but glare at her, then turned to look at Song Qingshu, “Be more clear.”

Song Qingshu, paused for a moment, then explained, “Last night, because Cult Master Lan sent that beautiful girl to my room, although my reason told me not to be a beast, my body kept urging me to be no better than a beast. Under the torment, I decided to go outside to relax, and when I arrived at the Holy Beast Pool of the Five Poison Cult, I came across a fox spirit who was bathing.”

“Fox spirit?” Dongfang Muxue and the others exclaimed in unison.

“Yes, a fox spirit.” Thinking of He Tieshou’s endless tenderness and amorous gestures last night, a smile appeared on Song Qingshu’s face, “I am an upright man, so of course, I immediately closed my eyes and stepped back. But, I accidentally stepped on the dead branches on the ground, and was discovered by the fox spirit. The other party may have been enchanted by my handsomeness. Anyway, as soon as she saw me, her eyes flashed, and she rushed over to abuse me. Cult Master Dongfang, you also know that I have lost my martial arts, and I was powerless to resist, so I had to silently endure the humiliation she inflicted upon me. That goddamn vixen abused me a thousand times…a thousand times!”

“Do fox spirits also have men?” Qu Feiyan was stunned for a while, and finally couldn’t help but express the doubts in her heart.

“Why are you asking that?” Song Qingshu also felt confused, and suddenly his expression went through a great change, “Didn’t you hear what I said, did you think that it was a male fox?”

“Yeah.” Qu Feiyan nodded subconsciously, and glanced at his backside with a hint of pity on her face.

“Fox spirits are all women of course!” Song Qingshu almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, looked at Qu Feiyan fiercely, his teeth itching with hatred, ‘You are cruel, I will remember this, and one day, I will definitely make you taste the image in your mind!’

“Stop talking nonsense..” Dongfang Muxue suppressed her smile, “Who was that woman?”

“I don’t know. It was in the middle of the night, a woman stripped naked and was taking a bath in the water. When she saw a man, she took the initiative to attack. I’m still wondering which Miao woman would be so enthusiastic in the cult.” Song Qingshu did not reveal the name of He Tieshou. Although the two were enemies and not friends in any way, as the saying goes, a husband and wife for a day begets affection for a thousand years.

“Nonsense, although us Miao women have always been bold and enthusiastic, no one would be so lowly.” Lan Fenghuang’s face turned red.

“Cult Master Lan, how about we make a wager on whether she is a Miao woman from the Five Poison Cult.” Song Qingshu showed a clever smile.

Lan Fenghuang sifted through the women in the cult in her mind. She really couldn’t think of anyone who would do such a thing, so she nodded immediately, “Okay, I’ll bet that woman is definitely not a Miao woman from the Five Poison Cult. If you can’t prove it, Young Master Song will have to say ‘good sister, I was wrong’ to me three times, agreed?”

“No problem,” Song Qingshu simply replied, “What if you lose?”

“It’s up to you.” Lan Fenghuang thought about it, but she didn’t think she would lose.

“That’s not necessary.” Song Qingshu secretly praised the mellowness and sweetness of her voice, “I’ve heard for a long time that Cult Master Lan is unparalleled a blowing flute, just do that for me the next time we meet.” (G: Remember, ‘blowing flute’ can also refer to giving a blowj*b.)

“Okay!” Lan Fenghuang thought about it for a moment, but as it was just a simple matter of blowing a flute, she didn’t think there were any issues. She thought it was just Song Qingshu being a gentleman, and he deliberately put forward this condition that was also not a condition, and couldn’t help but have a more favorable impression of him.

“Miss…Cult Master Dongfang…” Song Qingshu almost called her ‘miss’, and quickly changed his words, “I have already answered your question, you should tell me what can I do to heal my internal injuries.”

“I called you here today to talk about this matter.” Dongfang Muxue nodded, then looked at Qu Feiyan and said, “Feifei, next, you will escort Young Master Song to a place, this trip may be full of dangers, you may even have to fight, and also protect him.”

Qu Feiyan was taken aback. She didn’t expect her master to give such an order. She wondered why the Cult Master would take Song Qingshu so seriously, but her master’s order was hard to disobey.

“Feifei, I know you’ve always been very good and listened to your teacher’s words…” Dongfang Muxue stretched out her hand and gently stroked Qu Feiyan’s hair, and said with an earnest expression, “However, teacher is not sure about the success or failure of this matter. So I need you to help Young Master Song wholeheartedly, you have to treat him as you do for me, no matter what he says or what he does, you must obey him unconditionally, you understand?”

Qu Feiyan’s face turned pale. Although she was not very old, she grew up in an unorthodox sect, how could she not understand what this order meant? Tears welled up in her eyes, she looked up at Dongfang Muxue, her voice was a little choked, ” Master…”

Dongfang Muxue was extremely smart, how could she not realize that Qu Feiyan had always had an inexplicable affection for her. It would be easier for everyone if she had a man. As the most powerful person in the world, no one would dare voice a complaint if she decided to ignore their status as master and apprentice. But she couldn’t ignore the fact that she herself was a woman. Qu Feiyan was so close to her, and was sure to know the truth one day, it was better to arrange another path for her in advance, and give her to Song Qingshu.
