Flower Stealing Master

Chapter 515: Rescuing a Beauty

After parting ways with Song Qingshu, although they had successfully set fires everywhere with their own martial skills, they were intercepted by the Qing soldiers before they had a chance to retreat. They darted and maneuvered in every direction but failed to break through. 

Instead, they were forced together by the encircling Qing soldiers. 

As the encirclement tightened, Xiao Feng made a decisive decision. Together with a few other men, he chose to stay behind and hold off the enemy, allowing the women to escape first.

However, the Qing forces were overwhelming. Although Xiao Feng and the others had drawn away most of the soldiers, there were still many pursuing the women. 

Huang Rong, Ah Jiu, and Yelu Nanxian, all top-notch experts in the martial world, were not accustomed to such dire situations.

The battlefield was fundamentally different from a martial arts contest. On the battlefield, enemies were everywhere, and evasive maneuvers were useless. One could only use the simplest and quickest techniques to deal with the enemies around them. Any intricate or deceptive moves would only lead to death. 

Huang Rong and the others excelled in refined and delicate techniques, which proved disadvantageous in this setting. Additionally, their inherent femininity meant they could only exert a fraction of their full strength amidst the sea of corpses and blood. 

The Qing soldiers, though not highly skilled, were well-trained and worked closely together. Any gap created by one soldier was quickly filled by another, putting the women in grave danger.

Among the three women, Yelu Nanxian performed the best. Having grown up on horseback, she was accustomed to battle scenes. Yet, her impressive display of skill attracted even more Qing soldiers, who surrounded her while some pursued Huang Rong and Ah Jiu. The encirclement grew tighter, and despite her efforts, Yelu Nanxian felt her arms growing heavier with each swing. Her sword seemed to be losing its edge, and she feared it might break.

After cutting through a dozen spear tips, Yelu Nanxian suddenly found it difficult to breathe, as if her breath had been stolen. She saw the spears converging from behind and, resigning herself to fate, closed her eyes.

Instead of the expected pain, she found herself embraced warmly. The screams of Qing soldiers filled her ears. When she opened her eyes in disbelief, she discovered that she was being held by Song Qingshu. Several steel blades, seemingly controlled by an invisible hand, spun rapidly around them, cutting down the attacking soldiers.

Having seen Song Qingshu’s display of countless flying swords at the Golden Serpent Camp, Yelu Nanxian understood that this was his doing. 

“Are you awake?” Song Qingshu looked down and smiled at her. “Let’s get out of here.”

With that, he casually walked towards the exit, holding Yelu Nanxian. The spinning blades continued to protect them, and any Qing soldiers who attempted to block their path fell before they could make a move. The soldiers quickly retreated, avoiding the deadly blades, and a clear path opened up for them.

“I wasn’t closing my eyes because I was asleep,” Yelu Nanxian replied with some irritation. Reflecting on the dire situation she had been in, she was taken aback by how calmly Song Qingshu handled it, as if strolling in his own backyard. She was momentarily dazed.

“Do you think I look very handsome right now and feel an impulse to fall in love with me?” Song Qingshu’s voice startled Yelu Nanxian, causing her to push him away.

“You’re the one being inappropriate,” Yelu Nanxian’s face flushed slightly.

“I’m rescuing you from a sea of soldiers, and you say I’m inappropriate?” Song Qingshu laughed, unable to contain himself. By now, they had broken through the encirclement. The morale of the Qing soldiers had collapsed, and chaos erupted in the camp. The soldiers exchanged glances and soon dispersed, no longer daring to pursue.

“You could have protected me normally, but you had to carry me the whole way,” Yelu Nanxian mused, feeling a bit disoriented. 

Was this what it felt like to be carried by a man?

“You saw through me,” Song Qingshu’s thick skin showed no sign of embarrassment as his little scheme was exposed. “Isn’t the hero saving the beauty trope supposed to be like this? Many heroic figures have done the same. I couldn’t be too unconventional, could I?”

Yelu Nanxian was left speechless. “You really are good at making excuses.”

Song Qingshu smiled slightly, not wishing to dwell on the matter. “By the way, I heard Xiao Feng, Ah Jiu, and Madam Guo are with you. Where are they?”

“Oh!” Yelu Nanxian slapped her forehead and pointed anxiously in a direction not far away. “They fled that way. Let’s go save them!”

“Let’s go!”

“Hey, why are you still holding me?”

“Your Qinggong is too poor.”

“……”

Finally spotting Ah Jiu and Huang Rong, who were back to back, fending off the surrounding soldiers, Song Qingshu was filled with urgency and leaped over with a loud shout. 

The two women were extremely beautiful, and for some unknown reason, the soldiers had surrounded them, trying to capture them alive. Had it not been for this, they probably wouldn’t have lasted this long. As they were about to be overwhelmed, dozens of steel blades suddenly descended from the sky, cutting down the soldiers in front before they could react.

The sudden change caught everyone off guard. The Qing soldiers retreated in panic, eyeing the man who had appeared in their midst. 

Seeing Song Qingshu, Ah Jiu ran up excitedly and embraced him, her voice choked with emotion. “Song Lang! Ah Jiu thought she would never see you again.”

“I’m sorry for putting you in danger,” Song Qingshu felt Ah Jiu’s trembling body and understood her emotional state. He gently patted her to comfort her.

Huang Rong, standing nearby, felt very awkward. She wanted to thank Song Qingshu but didn’t know how to start. Moreover, she was still shaken from the earlier events, and seeing Song Qingshu made her feel disoriented.

After a moment, the surrounding Qing soldiers regained their composure and charged at them again with loud shouts. Song Qingshu noticed that Yelu Nanxian was still standing in place and signaled her over, using his Dragon Capture Technique to pull her to him.

Despite Yelu Nanxian’s skill, it wasn’t easy for Song Qingshu to pull her from such a distance. However, for some reason, Yelu Nanxian hesitated for a moment before giving up her resistance and even used her Qinggong to float to his side.

‘No wonder so many young girls like the domineering CEO trope. Even someone like Yelu Nanxian looks so dazed,’ Song Qingshu thought with a subtle change in expression, already envisioning a little fantasy in his mind. ‘Being a domineering CEO isn’t so bad after all.’

As the Qing soldiers drew closer, Song Qingshu protected the three women and suddenly unleashed a Lion’s Roar. 

His powerful internal energy caused the soldiers to collapse and groan in pain. 

Looking at the stunned women, Song Qingshu smiled modestly, “AOE skills are the most useful on the battlefield. It’s a shame you didn’t learn them.”
