Chapter 259: Not unless I’m dead (2/2)
This wasn’t the first time that this woman had broken through his limits.
Han Yunxi turned her head aside, but still got a face full of dirt. Despite this, she didn’t mind Jun Yixie’s actions. How could a man who tried multiple times to kidnap a woman and threaten her really treat her tenderly? As if she could hope for kind words and a civil conversation from him? Han Yunxi wiped her face and looked at him just as coldly as before. Her expression put Jun Yixie on guard as he continued treating his injuries, afraid that she’d sneak attack him again. Though he didn’t want to admit it, he really didn’t know what to do against this woman.
This time, Han Yunxi didn’t make a move, but simply watched him until her gaze turned wooden. She seemed to have grown distracted. It looked like something was off about this woman, but he couldn’t figure out what it was. After finishing up with his injuries, Jun Yixie walked in front of Han Yunxi and extended his hand. Coldly he demanded, “Antidote!”
“Long Tianmo’s antidote,” Han Yunxi said, extending her hand in turn.
Judging by the skies, there were still a few more hours before it’d turn dark. Her bet with Third Elder would reach its deadline then. What could she use to save Long Tianmo, now that they hadn’t found the poison beast? What could be used to beat Third Elder while washing clean the crime on her and Gu Beiyue? She could run away from Tianning Country. In fact, she didn’t want to stay here anymore. But she couldn’t allow the name of ‘Han Yunxi’ to be disgraced in the medical community. Nor could she bear the burden of homicide for the rest of her life!
She was a doctor, one who had never failed in her professional career. She wasn’t satisfied with this!
“I’ve said it before, there’s no antidote,” Jun Yixie said angrily.
“Then why are you asking me for antidote?” Han Yunxi retorted coldly.
Jun Yixie suddenly grabbed Han Yunxi’s chin and pinched it between his fingers. “You have no right to discuss conditions with your lordship.”
“I’m not discussing terms with you. I just said that you have no right to ask me for antidote,” Han Yunxi disdained to refute him. At these words, veins popped out in Jun Yixie’s forehead. His grip tightened to the point that he almost broke Han Yunxi’s chin.
“Han Yunxi, don’t think that your lordship doesn’t dare to kill you just because the poison can’t be treated. If worse comes to worst, your lordship will get rid of this shoulder!” Though he didn’t know the identity of the poison in his shoulder, he was very clear that it hadn’t spread beyond that point.
“I’m guessing…that you wouldn’t bear to do it.”
Han Yunxi really did had the skills to infuriate people to death. Actually, she wasn’t trying to provoke Jun Yixie on purpose, but simply saying what she thought. Right now, her spirits were low, her heart in chaos. The one thing she knew for certain was that she didn’t want to go back to Tianning and see a certain somebody. She hadn’t taken Jun Yixie’s situation to heart at all, because she was trying to figure out what she should do next.
Long Feiye, it’s fine if you don’t like me, but you can’t treat me and other women well at the same time! Han Yunxi’s thoughts weren’t on the current events at all, while Jun Yixie’s rage had completely flared up.
“Han Yunxi, your lordship won’t kill you. But your lordship wants you to have a fate worse than death.” So speaking, he tore apart Han Yunxi’s collar, bringing her back to her senses.
She held onto the hand that tried to tear further down and raged, “Jun Yixie, show some propriety!”
“Propriety?” Jun Yixie smiled coldly. With a sudden show of strength, he tore Han Yunxi’s outer robes to shreds. Han Yunxi cried out in alarm and began to struggle.
“Jun Yixie, you’re shameless! You’re not a man at all!”
“You’ll find out very soon whether your lordship is a man or not!” Jun Yixie was so angry that his eyes had turned bloodshot. He wasn’t really planning to violate Han Yunxi and just wanted to scare her a bit so she knew the meaning of fear! But when he saw the primitive fear in her eyes, he couldn’t stop himself. So as it turned out, the woman who didn’t know the difference between Heaven and Earth could be afraid too? Would she submit herself to him if he actually ended up possessing her for real? Thinking up to here, Jun Yixie’s large hand began to reach downwards.
“Beat it!” Han Yunxi was really frightened. She never expected Jun Yixie to be such a brute, and her fear made her forget that she had assassination weapons and poison.
It was then that a white figure appeared from thin air. He was none other than the white-robed man, but his face veil had long been stained completely red with blood. As soon as he landed on the ground, it was to nearly topple over. He couldn’t even stand straight, but looked as if he’d just suffered through a severe illness that robbed him of all his strength. Despite this, he still took a large stride forward and grabbed Jun Yixie by the shoulder before ruthlessly pulling him aside! Then he took off his own outer robes and placed them on Han Yunxi’s shoulders.
It was clear that he couldn’t hold out for much longer. A gust of wind would be enough to topple him. Still, his eyes were shining with heinous killing intent that bore straight to the heart as he turned to look at Jun Yixie.
“Jun Yixie, don’t even think of touching a hair on her head unless I’m dead!”
