Rebirth: After Becoming the Villainess-Chapter 350: Little Lady, Were You Waiting for Me?
When Song Lianhe woke again, the scent of Xixun Incense filled her nostrils, but something about it was different.
She instinctively sniffed the air and finally realized what was wrong. Mixed with the Xixun Incense was a trace of Heavenly Immortal!
Heavenly Immortal had analgesic and nerve-numbing properties. When used in combination with Xixun Incense, it would relax a person’s mind, making them feel particularly blissful during... certain activities. To put it plainly, it was a high-grade aphrodisiac incense.
She opened her eyes. She had a good idea of where she was.
The room was small but elegantly furnished. The door and windows were sealed. As far as she could see, she was alone. Ah Jun was nowhere to be found.
Song Lianhe felt weak all over. She fumbled around, trying to find medicine in her satchel, but when her hand reached for it, the bag she always carried was gone!
Song Lianhe’s heart clenched. It was filled with things she needed to save her life!
She felt for her waist—her Willow Leaf Darts had been taken too...
Just then, the door creaked open.
In her panic, she pulled the pin from her hair and clutched it secretly in her hand.
Song Lianhe looked up warily. It was Mrs. Liu’s lover. He had an effeminate face, and his smile was particularly sinister. "My dear lady, were you waiting for me?"
Song Lianhe couldn’t help but lean back, watching him with caution.
"Where is my brother?"
"Heh heh, my men are taking good care of your brother. But as for whether he’ll lose an arm or a leg... well, that’s hard to say. It all depends on your performance, my dear lady."
He was absolutely captivated by Song Lianhe’s face.
Gazing at the woman’s delicate and beautiful face, he found her stunning eyes were especially soul-stealing when she was angry.
Having frequented pleasure quarters, he had seen many stunningly beautiful men and women, but a vibrant and lovely young woman like Song Lianhe was the one who truly captured his heart.
He was so used to seeing married women that the beauty before him now made his heart itch with unbearable desire.
’Granted, she overheard something she shouldn’t have. Even the most beautiful woman will eventually become a rotting corpse. But before that, I am determined to have my fill!’
He stepped forward, raising a hand to touch Song Lianhe’s face...
Song Lianhe’s gaze sharpened, and she thrust her hand forward to stab him—
SMACK.
The pin in her hand was knocked away.
The man was very strong. The blow made her entire arm ache, and her hand trembled uncontrollably.
"Heh heh, I told you. If you don’t cooperate, I’ll give the order, and your brother’s life won’t be guaranteed."
His hand finally caressed her face.
Song Lianhe gritted her teeth, enduring the psychological and physical revulsion. Her eyes looked ready to shoot fire!
Evidently, her angry expression was even more irresistible.
His breathing grew ragged and his eyes changed as he moved to undo his sash.
"If you serve me well, I will naturally spare your brother’s life..."
Song Lianhe’s mind raced. ’He’s a trained fighter; I stand no chance in a direct confrontation!’
The man had already taken off his long robe. "Don’t worry, my dear lady, I’ll be very gentle..."
In a few quick motions, he was completely naked.
When Song Lianhe saw him, she froze.
"You..."
The man had been anticipating her screams, or even her curses and pleas, all of which would have made him lose control.
But the woman across from him was just staring intently at him, without a hint of the shyness or modesty expected of a woman.
"...You’re a eunuch?"
The man was struck speechless.
The air seemed to freeze. The man stood there, naked and motionless.
’To be honest, this is the first time I’ve ever seen one.’
Song Lianhe, on the other hand, observed him with the serious, studious attitude one might have when examining a cadaver for medical research.
The woman’s gaze was far too strange. Not only was she unafraid, but her eyes held a faint glimmer, as if she had spotted a rare specimen.
’...Huh? It doesn’t look like a palace castration. The knife work isn’t professional... It looks more like it was self-inflicted...’
Under her bizarre gaze, the man’s expression shifted constantly. He clenched his fists, his mind flooded with all sorts of humiliating and unbearable memories...
Finally, with a sudden cry, he grabbed his clothes and ran out.
Only then did Song Lianhe dare to let out a breath. She then ran to the window as fast as she could.
’Ah, I’m screwed! I’m going to get a stye!’
’I’ll have to wash my eyes out one way or another when I get back!’
She reached the window, pushed it open with all her might, and glanced down. Her heart instantly sank.
This was the third floor. A jump from this height would result in broken bones, if not death!
She wanted to turn back to find something to climb down with, but just then, footsteps sounded outside the door, followed by a shout. "The Young Master has given an order! Bring her out!"
"Yes, sir!"
’My success just now was pure psychological warfare, a stroke of luck.’
’Once that man comes to his senses, he definitely won’t let me go!’
’This is my only chance!’
Gritting her teeth, she climbed out the window. Fortunately, the second floor had an eave ridge, not wide enough to turn around on, but just enough for her feet.
She wanted to turn and close the window, but the door was slammed open.
Frightened, she squatted down, her back pressed tightly against the outer wall. She desperately grabbed a nearby pillar to keep herself from slipping.
"Where is she?"
"She’s gone!"
"Find her! The Young Master wants her alive!"
Just then, the window above her was thrown open, slamming against the sides.
Song Lianhe flinched, shrinking back. When she looked up again, her eyes met those of the guard looking for her—
"Found her! She’s here!!"
As soon as the guard spotted her, he immediately reached out to grab her.
Song Lianhe’s heart nearly leaped out of her chest. She immediately ducked her head and shuffled to the side. The large hand missed her by an inch!
Soon, all the windows above her were pushed open, and several guards leaned out to try and catch her.
Song Lianhe was like a bird trapped in a cage, panicked and frantic. She had to dodge the people trying to grab her while being careful not to fall!
Seeing they couldn’t reach her, one of them started to climb out of the window.
Song Lianhe’s heart skipped a beat. Her reddened eyes stared at the ground below. She had no choice but to jump!
’I’d rather break my legs than be dragged back inside!’
’But... but...’
’Ah! My legs feel like jelly!!’
As she watched the guard climb out of the window, about to grab her, Song Lianhe gritted her teeth, squeezed her eyes shut, and leaped—
Unexpectedly, the guard managed to grab her by the shoulder of her dress.
Song Lianhe was left dangling in mid-air. The thin, soft fabric of her dress couldn’t possibly withstand such a violent pull!
RRRIP—
The sound of tearing fabric rang out.
Song Lianhe screamed, but her instincts took over, and she reached out to grab the man’s arm tightly.
"Ah! Damn you! Let go!"
Seeing that he was about to be pulled down with her, the man decided to go all in, pulling out a dagger and raising it to stab her—
"SCREECH!"
With a sharp whistle, Chun Hua descended from the sky and pecked down at him!
When the other guards saw Chun Hua, they all retreated in fear, not daring to approach the window.
"Ah! What is this thing? Help me!"
Startled, the man no longer cared about Song Lianhe. He dodged frantically and violently shook his arm free!
"AHHH—"
The sudden feeling of weightlessness made her shut her eyes in terror, her limbs flailing powerlessly.
At the same time, the rapid sound of horse hooves approached.
A man in a cape, one hand on the reins, arrived with the sound as if he were a god descending from the heavens. He gathered his energy, leaped from his horse, and flew forward, extending his arms to catch her securely in his embrace...
