Chapter Nine, Offering a Helping Hand
Xiao Ao certainly did not consider that she would be unable to stop in time. He looked at her as she fell to the ground with a gloomy and cold gaze. His five fingers slightly curled under his wide sleeves. When he saw her rapidly rolling downwards, his deep and restrained eyes suddenly widened, and an unusual sensation flashed through his heart, as if something had shaken his spirit.
A cold and dangerously menacing tone echoed in the room. Having lingered in the darkness for too long, the furnishings within were all absorbed into his unfathomable gaze. His large and robust figure stood in the center of the room with his hands clasped behind his back, emanating a chill that made one feel as if it were not the sweltering heat of summer, but the frigid depths of winter.
Among all sports, running is the one she is least skilled at; even during training, she barely manages to pass. I remember someone once said that when you can no longer run, you should imagine that someone behind you is chasing you with a whip, and this will naturally compel you to give it your all
Ah!
Feigning humility, she lowered her head and awaited instructions. After a while, noticing that the man remained silent, Ye Sha's eyes flickered, revealing a hint of triumphant amusement. In the cold, guarded gaze of the man, she calmly walked towards another room
The jade pendant is not on me. Don't you think it is too insulting to your noble status to search me like this? Moreover, there are three of you and one of me; even if it comes to a fight, I am no match for you, am I? Release my acupoints, and I will give it to you, as that item is of no use to me anyway
Xiao Ao's cold and piercing gaze flickered slightly. He had never been the kind of person with benevolent intentions, but at the moment that the plaintive and aggrieved voice reached his ears, he inexplicably trembled and lowered his hand that was suspended in the air. In the next moment, as the other party wished, he extended two fingers and lightly tapped Ye Sha's chest.
Return the items to this king, and I shall spare your life
Life is insignificant, a worthless life; it does not matter if one dies. She considers that she has already jumped off the cliff and died when that man sent someone to hunt her down
Suddenly, a streak of black flew over her head. Before Ye Sha could stop to see what it was, she crashed into a hard object.
This is outrageous, how can there be not even a single hiding place
Although this man exuded a formidable presence, capable of conveying through a single action or expression that he would not easily let her go, she never sensed the slightest hint of murderous intent. With this thought in mind, she quickly seized the opportunity to persuade him, adopting a demeanor of submission and speaking in a manner reminiscent of civilized discourse.
Without the time to ponder what that sudden feeling was, he sprang to his feet and headed towards the slope, fiercely pursuing his prey like a soaring eagle, swiftly and violently intercepting her figure as she rolled downwards
After a considerable amount of time, Xiao Ao's figure slightly moved, and his cold eyes suddenly narrowed. The half-closed black eyes emitted a bloodthirsty gleam in the darkness, while the five fingers behind him tightly clenched.
Perhaps he only cares about his jade pendant and does not wish for her life
Now she is not only imagining someone behind her with a whip pursuing her, but also countless perverts chasing her with bizarre adult toys.
A true hero does not suffer immediate losses. The last two individuals sought her out because of the jade pendant, and today it has fallen into the hands of others, again due to the jade pendant. Although she truly does not understand why a mere jade pendant causes everyone to treat her as if she were a sworn enemy, the most important thing at the moment is to find a way to escape.
In that instant, before she could steady herself, she rolled down the slope like a wheel.
The earthen house lacked window frames, and although he found himself in a room so dark that he could not see his own hand, he relied on his remarkable vision. With a sweeping motion of his wide sleeves, he strode purposefully towards another room. Upon seeing a beam of moonlight streaming through a crack in the originally sealed earthen house, he let out a cold snort and soared through the opening in the roof, his agile figure tracing a beautiful arc against the night sky.
This woman actually dared to deceive him
In an instant, the sand and dust rose, shrouded in the dim and profound night sky, as the enormous "wheel" caused the stones beneath it to clatter loudly, splashing down continuously with the speed of the "wheel"
Look at you, you have caught me without even making a move. Even if I wanted to play some tricks, it would be impossible. Considering that I saved you once, I kindly ask you to let me go. This young woman lost her mother at the age of 3 and her father at 7. My elder brother does not care for me, and my second brother does not love me. They all say I am a disaster and a bad omen, and no one wants me. I have left my hometown and am at my wit's end, which is why I momentarily lost my senses and became greedy. You see, my clothing and living conditions do not resemble those of a wealthy person. Even when I go out to beg, others spit at me, calling me a black monster. I have never had a full meal in my life; every day I scavenge for what others have thrown away and do not eat... ... Wuwuwu... ... Wuwuwu... ...
There is no way back, returning means being caught at any moment, the front is wide open with nothing to obstruct, the only option is to continue! ... Run ...
Although she felt resentment and anger in her heart, she did not dare to act recklessly again. She got up from the ground and pretended to be polite, cautiously saying to the man: "Please wait here for a moment, I will go get it for you, it is in the next room."
Yasha almost exerted all her speed, swiftly darting through the wild grasslands, like a nimble rabbit utilizing all its survival instincts when pursued by a ferocious beast
Breathing heavily like an ox, my heart seemed to be on the verge of bursting out of my chest. Finally reaching the summit, a quick glance revealed that Yesha was on the brink of collapsing, nearly spitting blood.
Ye Sha shifted slightly, feeling a piercing pain beneath her bottom, causing her to grit her teeth and grimace. She forcefully swallowed the searing sensation, and a flicker of surprise passed through her half-lowered eyes, which was then replaced by a cold glint of hatred
In a moment of silence, Ye Sha discerned his doubt
This collision was not serious; perhaps it was because she was running too fast, or perhaps it was due to the "massive hard object" being too solid. Her petite body was unprepared psychologically and was thus ejected outwards, not far, just a few meters away. One can only blame her "good luck" for rolling over twice upon landing due to inertia
Well done, daring to hit my backside, one day I will make you regret it
Big trees, little grass, why don't you grow one out!
The terrified cries instantly pierced the night sky, and everything felt so real, so unexpected, and also somewhat horrifying
As she spoke, the sense of grievance in Ye Sha's eyes grew increasingly profound, and two crystalline tears welled up in her eyes. Although the content did not align with her background, perhaps it was the oppressive atmosphere and her unfulfilled desire for revenge that evoked her feelings of sorrow and longing. Every word she uttered was imbued with genuine emotion, and her choked voice resonated with a touch of pitiful fragility in the darkness and silence.
However, integrity is paramount. Even if one cannot give oneself to the person they like for the first time, they must absolutely not allow themselves to be taken advantage of by those scoundrels who wish to violate her
Taking a deep breath, one cannot care less about how chaotic and troublesome the stones underfoot are, how they trip one up; the legs seem to be equipped with motors, once again sprinting at high speed.
