Chapter 935 - Insanity Won't Make Me Die.
Crouching down to the height of Li Xue, Su Ce drew himself close to her, slightly sniffing her fragrance. One says that one's fragrance tells enough about their personality. But when Su Ce tried to guess her fragrance it was kind of different for him. Something that made him pause in thoughts for some time.
He has lived off with many women but had never smelled something like hers. Pausing for some time, he tried to guess about it but no matter however he tried he simply wasn't able to pinpoint it. She was different. Different like no other.
Li Xue felt odd about his actions. She was already sensitive at the moment and his sudden closeness like this wasn't doing any good to her. It was making her go more sleepy, forcing her to give up both her consciousness and control of thoughts and actions.
"Wh-at are you trying to do?" She asked in an irritated voice, trying her best to hold the last string of control she has on her senses. Shaking her head internally, again and again, she tried her best to remember that though she had escaped, she was not yet safe.
"What am I doing?" Su Ce drew back and raised his brows at her, he said, shrugging his shoulders in innocence. "I am just checking on your condition. It seems you are drugged heavily. Do you need some help? I am quite a helpful person, I won't hesitate if pretty ladies like you ask for it."
Li Xue looked at him and her expression changed. As if something inside her recognized the second meaning the man had in his words. Moving her hands, she reached for the man and seeing her act like that Su Ce smiled almost guessing what her such action was for. But just when he thought that lady was attempting to reach him, her actions went totally the opposite.
She pushed him back, making him stagger a little on his stand. "You can leave. I will manage myself." Li Xue said as she lifted her hands up to show the sharp arrow-designed lapel pin she had tucked out from his suit jacket. "As for your help, I think your lapel pin would be enough help for me. Thank you for this" She said, her voice sounding more like a slow buzz of incoherent words.
Su Ce didn't understand what she said but seeing his lapel pin in her hand he could already make out that she was thanking him for that. His eyes squinted at her as he asked, "You are rejecting me but taking this lapel pin. Do you think this could be a better help than me?"
"Based on your eyes and hue of redness, I could already say, it's not just the weakening drug that is given to you. But it was also mixed with a sedative that would make your strength go weaker. Though not now but later you will surely need a man. I am not a bad option for that. Ask me, I won't refuse you." He blabbered a little and his blabbering amused the assistant behind. Usually, the Prince of East Chiboa prefers to be less talkative. Was he drugged instead?
Li Xue didn't mind his talks; rather looked at the thing she got in her hand; it was sharp enough for the requirement she wanted it for.
"Later if I leave and you lose your consciousness, it would be a pity for you to not get a good guy." Su Ce added more in a tone of seriousness and finally lifted her head up to say.
"Don't worry for me. I got the way for myself." She said and the next moment, sharply scratched her palm to make it bleed. The blood oozed out her palm as the stinging pain inflicted on her skin, but no expression of remorse came on the face of Li Xue.
Su Ce didn't understand her action and stepped forward to ask in a tone of worry. "What are you doing? Are you insane?" But before he could reach her, Li Xue shook her head, getting back on her feet.
"Insanity won't make me die. This cut would be enough to keep me awake for the time I leave this place. Thank you. For your lapel pin. Here you can have it." She said giving him back what was his. Tinges of her blood kept the sharp blade stained but she didn't mind wiping it.
Su Ce took back his pin, looking at the stain of blood still on it. "Do you think that would help you? The loss of blood will only weaken you, making you faint soon." He said but Li Xue didn't wait to hear him more. She knew she would faint soon. But before she faints she wants to get away from the place so that she doesn't do something that's not suitable for her.
Stumbling slightly on her footing, she made her way to walk straight down the corridor to get out of the place. Behind Su Ce just remained to stare at her. He knew this wouldn't be as easy as she had said. He was already expecting her to faint just after a few more steps. But what troubled him more to think was …
Was he that bad choice that instead of having the relief with him the woman got herself hurt to the point of bleeding? Until now, it was his first time to find a woman that was so resistant to him.
Flowing with the sway of wind, Li Xue made her way distancing from the initial point. The drops of blood dripped off her hand, staining little by little on the floor. Though she was pretending to be strong-willed, she knew her strength as well to know that she won't be able to take any longer. Her head dizzied as her legs finally gave up for the best.
Seeing her take the expectant fall all of a sudden, Su Ce raced his way to reach her with his assistant following behind. But just then …
Another pair of feet speedied his way past him to catch her in his arm, at once making her comfortable in his embrace.
Though Li Xue had fainted, her eyes still opened with some consciousness to see, not quite believing her sight.. "Mr. Beelzebub, a-are you real?"
