Chapter 577: Chapter 578: The Strange Woman

Having confirmed that no one was around the villa, Song Xiaodong cautiously emerged from the room, into a corridor lit by lights. Stepping out here meant having nowhere to hide if he encountered someone.

However, Song Xiaodong was not afraid, as he could easily overpower anyone he might meet.

The corridor was not long, and it led directly into a living room where he immediately smelled the fragrance of food—particularly enticing for the very hungry Song Xiaodong.

The food was laid out on the dining table, two delicate dishes, one meat and one vegetarian, along with a small bowl of rice. The plates and chopsticks were already set, but there was no one in the living room.

After looking around and seeing no one on the first floor, Song Xiaodong immediately went over and started devouring the food with the chopsticks.

He was indeed very hungry, and he ate with such speed that in less than five minutes, the two dishes and bowl of rice had been completely consumed.

Though still not fully satisfied, the food was enough to restore much of his strength.

Gently patting his stomach, Song Xiaodong felt that the small building was not bad at all and could be a good hiding spot. He speculated that this building could be similar to the house where Miao Xuanxuan’s mother lived—a woman who was also neglected.

Now he thought it might be good to talk to her, hoping perhaps to gain her assistance.

As Song Xiaodong stood up and turned around, he was startled to find a woman standing behind him, a beautiful woman who appeared to be about twenty years old.

What was most striking was that this woman’s beauty was unlike that of ordinary people. With her phoenix eyes that seemed almost capable of speech and a strong hint of allure between her brows, she looked like she was seducing him, even just standing there.

Song Xiaodong was startled, but also impressed by the woman. However, he quickly reacted, covering the woman’s mouth with his hand, his expression fierce as he said, "Don’t shout, or I will not be polite."

The coquettish woman’s eyes initially showed surprise, then turned into a smile.

Song Xiaodong was speechless and scowled, "Do you think I’m joking? I’ll have you know that today I killed four people from the Sun family. If you scream, I wouldn’t mind adding one more."

To save his life, Song Xiaodong now had to play the villain. But to truly kill a defenseless woman, he could definitely not bring himself to do it.

The woman’s expression finally turned to one of fear, and she nodded twice quickly.

"Don’t scream, or I really will kill you," Song Xiaodong emphasized again before slowly letting go of her, ready to cover her mouth again if she screamed.

The woman did not scream, but instead stood there looking at Song Xiaodong and even asked, "I was wondering why the Sun family’s place was in such a mess today. So, it turns out someone broke in and even killed people."

"Aren’t you afraid?" Song Xiaodong immediately glowered at the woman.

"Why should I be afraid? You won’t kill me," the woman replied, glancing at the dining table. Then, with a pout that was indescribably sexy, she spoke in a voice filled with a tone of grievance, "How could you eat up someone’s dinner? Now someone will go hungry."

The tone was just like that of lovers cooing to each other, especially the voice which was so soft and tingling it could send shivers from the top of one’s head to the soles of the feet.

"I’m sorry, I was just too hungry," Song Xiaodong reflexively apologized.

"You could have left some for me," the woman turned to Song Xiaodong, pouting a bit angrily.

Song Xiaodong’s mouth twitched. Knowing what kind of person he was, and she was still getting angry with him at this time, she really had a nerve, he said, "Then, do you have anything else here? Just make do with something for now."

The woman’s eyes lit up immediately, she clapped her hands, and said, "Ah, right, I still have some snacks, like beef jerky. Do you want some?"

Song Xiaodong instinctively agreed, and the woman quickly turned and walked upstairs, gesturing Song Xiaodong to follow, "Come on up, let’s eat together."

Song Xiaodong followed the woman upstairs, but after a few steps, he suddenly felt annoyed with himself. What was he doing, inexplicably following this woman’s lead? He said sternly, "You better not play any tricks, or I will not be polite."

"I am just a weak woman, what tricks could I possibly have? Just don’t bully me," she turned to Song Xiaodong with another look of grievance and continued walking upstairs.

Song Xiaodong had no other choice at this point, and it was at least safe here. As long as he was cautious, he truly did not believe this woman could do anything to him.

Deciding to go along, Song Xiaodong followed the woman into a room upstairs.

It was clearly a bedroom, decorated in soft pink tones that made it particularly cozy, and the woman turned around with a proud look, saying to Song Xiaodong, "My room is pretty, isn’t it?"

"Indeed, it’s very pretty," Song Xiaodong nodded.

The woman went to the bedside, crouched down, and opened the bedside table.

The woman was indeed too seductive, her naturally coquettish face and her every smile full of bewitching charm, making it all too easy to be tempted.

Hastily turning away, he took a deep breath, pressing down the restless emotions; he absolutely couldn’t do anything with this woman, otherwise he would end up like Sun Zi’ang.

When Song Xiaodong turned his head again, the woman glanced at him with an indescribable special look, her lips curving into a mischievous smile.

But when Song Xiaodong turned his head again, her face had resumed its deeply seductive allure.

I recommend the book "Clairvoyant Crazy Doctor in the City of Flowers," a fun and interesting read that you might want to check out.
