Chapter 1280: Chapter 1277: Torment (Part 2)
Song Xiaodong opened his eyes, rubbed his lower back, looked at Qingluan standing there, and said, “Your way of waking people up is quite unique.”
“Go find something to eat.” Qingluan said coldly.
“Can’t you go find it yourself?” Song Xiaodong rolled his eyes and sat up.
Qingluan approached Song Xiaodong, speaking coldly, “Are you going or not?”
Song Xiaodong suddenly sprang up and attacked Qingluan with a fierce palm strike.
“Overestimating yourself.” Qingluan easily dismantled his attack, then within three moves, landed a palm on Song Xiaodong’s chest.
Song Xiaodong, however, did not dodge or evade, just looked at Qingluan with a smile.
“Hmph!” Qingluan’s hand was already pressed against Song Xiaodong’s chest, but she did not unleash her force, saying, “If you don’t find food within an hour, I’ll go to your house and kill all the women there.”
Then she flicked her palm, sending Song Xiaodong flying away.
Song Xiaodong twisted in the air, landing steadily on the ground, and said with a grin, “So you can’t bear to hurt me now, huh? This relationship is developing quite fast.”
“Scram!” Qingluan shouted angrily, pouncing directly at Song Xiaodong.
Song Xiaodong, with a burst of laughter, did not evade, and directly exchanged two moves with Qingluan, only to be knocked flying again.
Chapter 1278: Whipping
Song Xiaodong knew Qingluan wanted him to lift the Restriction that bound her, but her pride wouldn’t allow her to bow down and plead with him.
So this woman was trying various ways to torment him, to make him beg for mercy and release her voluntarily.
But Song Xiaodong was not a man of weak will; the more Qingluan tortured him, the less he was willing to lift the Restriction for her.
In fact, Qingluan’s approach was completely wrong. Song Xiaodong had a firm mind and wouldn’t yield, and his greatest skill wasn’t Kung Fu, but medical skill. Although Qingluan’s methods were unique, for Song Xiaodong, they weren’t too hard to undo.
Moreover, when resisting Qingluan’s True Qi erosion, Song Xiaodong was also honing his own True Qi, and there was absolutely benefit in the pain.
What’s more, knowing that Qingluan wouldn’t kill him, encountering such a master, how could Song Xiaodong miss the opportunity? So whenever he got the chance, Song Xiaodong would spar with Qingluan a couple of moves, even if defeated, he would gain something each time.
So now Song Xiaodong didn’t want to run away or anything. After being knocked flying by Qingluan again, he directly went to find some food and came back to share it with Qingluan.
The scenery in this small valley was quite nice, and Qingluan had no intention of leaving. After they finished eating, she looked at Song Xiaodong, and a flash of anger suddenly appeared in her eyes as she pounced straight at him.
Song Xiaodong didn’t say much, directly clashed with her again, and was quickly subdued. This time, Qingluan not only sealed Song Xiaodong’s True Qi, using her own True Qi to torment him, but also pulled out a vine whip.
“What the hell are you doing?” Song Xiaodong felt a bit uneasy looking at the vine whip in Qingluan’s hand.
“Whoosh…” Qingluan swung the vine whip in her hand, which produced a whistling sound, saying, “You think I don’t dare to kill you, but that doesn’t mean I can’t torment you.”
“Hey, it’s better to die in battle than suffer humiliation!” Song Xiaodong’s face turned dark; getting whipped with a vine would surely be hard to accept.
“What about when you humiliated me?”
“I…” Song Xiaodong’s face darkened immediately, unable to retort. That time he touched Qingluan had definitely been the greatest insult to her.
“Take this!” Qingluan raised the vine whip in her hand again, swinging it down onto Song Xiaodong’s body.
“Crack!” With a clear sound, Song Xiaodong’s clothes were immediately shredded open, leaving a bloody welt on his skin. Now that his True Qi was sealed, he had no True Qi to shield himself.
Moreover, Qingluan’s strike was infused with True Qi, even though she used very little, it was still enough for Song Xiaodong to bear.
“Hiss!” Song Xiaodong’s mouth twitched drastically, the pain was indeed extreme.
Seeing Song Xiaodong’s pained expression, a feeling of pleasure rose in Qingluan’s heart as she said, “That one was for touching my head, now this is for touching my face.”
Another lash came down, Song Xiaodong clenched his fists, sweat pouring unstoppably from his head.
“This one is for touching my leg!”
“This one is for touching my chest.”
For the chest touch, Qingluan’s whip clearly had a bit more force, causing Song Xiaodong’s body to quiver from the strike, yet he still gritted his teeth and endured.
“This one is for touching my foot!” Qingluan said, lashing down once more.
“Ah!” Song Xiaodong had been enduring, but the last strike was too heavy, causing him to let out a muffled groan, almost fainting from the pain.
“For touching my foot!” Qingluan surprisingly lashed down with the vine whip again.
Song Xiaodong’s eyes rolled back and he fainted directly.
When Song Xiaodong finally woke up, his first reaction was the intense pain all over his body.
Fortunately, the seal on his True Qi was lifted; he didn’t know whether he undid it himself or Qingluan helped him.
But he couldn’t worry about that now; he quickly struggled to sit up, seeing Qingluan sitting on a large rock by the stream, with her back to him.
Song Xiaodong didn’t pay attention to her, quickly started taking off his clothes, but Qingluan turned around at this moment, her face cold, and said, “What are you doing?”
