Blood-Sucking Empress - Chapter 55

Qianhe Liyou was not angered by Qin Ning’s ignorance and couldn’t care less attitude, but rather she felt it was quite novel. She stood up from the boulder and walked towards Qin Ning, deliberately making a sound to let the other party notice. But, Qin Ning did not pay any attention to her and continued to close his eyes.

“If you ignore me, I won’t take you up with me and leave you here alone.” She knew that she was immature for doing this, but she just wanted to tease him.

Qin Ning’s eyes fluttered open abruptly, a trace of anger flashing in his eyes. He moved his lips to say something, but swallowed the words back in his stomach and closed his eyes again. But, his expression was no longer calm, but rather it seemed a bit awkward.

“Not speaking, ah, then I’m leaving.” Qianhe Liyou made a move to leave. But Qin Ning had already opened his eyes and stared at her. But, he stubbornly refused to admit defeat, clenching his fists tightly without another word.

Such a stubborn man, should she let him suffer a little bit or should she be kind enough to stop teasing him for once? The answer was obvious. Her patience had long run out, “Zhen will come back to see you.”

Qianhe Liyou really left, ascending into the air with an extremely strange rapidly moving figure. Qin Ning stood up, panic etched into his expression. He had not expected that the Empress would actually leave him here alone. Was she this cruel? Last time, she had thrown him into the water and this time she left him at the bottom of the cliff. Next time, wouldn’t she just kill him with a single sword strike?!

Qin Ning angrily looked in the direction where Qianhe Liyou disappeared and could not help thinking of the time when he had been thrown into the lake. He grew even angrier on the inside. However, as time passed, the sun set into the horizon and a cloudy wind gusted at the bottom of the cliff. Even Qin Ning could not help but feel a bit of fear!

The night was getting deeper and the cold was only getting more severe. He started getting the feeling that he was getting spied on by something. He felt that he was not alone here, but rather there were countless souls wandering around in the area. He even felt like he heard the roar of the beast, the cry full of resentment and pain, which made me feel like he was going to become swallowed headfirst!

Qin Ning’s complexion got uglier and uglier, his body involuntarily trembling, but he still stood obstinately straight, letting the cold wind blow. It appeared as if in order to hold on, the things he needed were all here.

After spending a day and night and another day and night, the ramrod straight figure had long been unable to hold on. At the bottom of the cliff, there was nothing to eat except for dried up weeds and grasses. Besides that, there was nothing else that was edible. Not only was there no food, there was also no water and adding onto the cold wind that blew at night infused with that gloomy aura, Qin Nin had long felt like he could not endure much longer. He sat weakly on the stone, his complexion pale, his lips chapped and his hair messy. It was embarrassing.

Not only was he emotionally embarrassed, but he was also physically miserable. Qin Ning already felt like his breathing was getting weaker and weaker. His chest felt tight, he had a shortness of breath and constant dizziness. He really had no strength to move and now two days and two nights had passed. The sunrays penetrated through the clouds and wist shined on his body, but he could not feel an ounce of warmth.

He never imagined he would die such a miserable death and he did not want to believe that the woman had been so ruthless and had truly left her at the bottom of the cliff. But, it turned out that he had been too naive, but he could not understand. Just what did he do wrong? Why was he being treated like this, why…

“Why…” Qin Ning seemed to reach the end of his life, but in his semi-comatose state, he was still unwilling…

“Why? Actually, zhen does not know why either. Just wanted to see how prideful you really are. After all, I am no longer the same person as before and spoiling others is something I cannot do…” Qianhe Liyou appeared like a ghost beside the rock and could not continue after seeing Qin Ning’s miserable appearance. 

She had said before that she had never been a good person and she was headstrong and willful. There was nothing that she could not do, the word “impossible” did not exist in her understanding. Human life seemed heavy but also fragile at the same time. What she had thought in the past, that was her thoughts when leaving that day. She clearly knew that this place brimming full of yin energy was not something ordinary people could bear, but she had still left without looking back. She had not hesitated at all. She did not think Qin Ning could hold on, but she never wanted him to die, so she left. She came back two days later.

Qin Ning heard the other’s voice in a dazed state. He tried to open his eyes, but he could only see a shadowy figure, but the familiar presence surrounded him. While he was half conscious, he felt someone picking him up. The cold touch made him wake up for a moment, but he sank into a deeper darkness.

Qianhe Liyou sent the sleeping Qin Ning back to his bedroom and left after leaving a few words with the attendants. The indifferent expression gracing her face made the attendants dare not to ask more. Although they did not know why their Master had been carried in by the Empress after disappearing for two days, and even in such a wretched state, this naturally was something between the master and the Empress, and it was not their place to care about this.

Qianhe Liyou returned to her Qin Palace and asked the attendants to withdraw. Anhui appeared and knelt on the ground, stating in a very solemn tone, “This subordinate did not know the Empress’ skill had gotten to this point, to the degree of being able to have no fear of life or death. But this subordinate requests that the Empress treat his life as the most important thing and never do such things to endanger your Majesty in the future!” He did not know his ability to withstand had been so low and when he stumbled upon the scene he felt like fainting. But how could the Empres do such a dangerous thing? At the moment, he had truly felt that the Empress would never come back. If it wasn’t for the thread of reason in remembering the Empress’ orders, he might have jumped down with her!

Anhui had been sent away when Qianhe Liyou jumped off the precipice last time and he had not seen it. But this time, he had followed her to the cliff the entire time. Qianhe Liyou casually threw out the phrase, “Don’t come near here and just wait.” And then she had just jumped off the cliff. Anhui’s heart had almost stopped beating from fright. At that moment, his entire body had turned cold and he was unable to move. He had difficulty breathing, his mind blank and he did not know how to react. When he finally reacted and stepped forward to check the situation, he saw the Empress holding Ning guifei, who was in a comatose state, flying up from the bottom of the cliff. At the moment, he felt like he wanted to cry. He had been extremely shaken by the possibility of loss, because finally he had recognized his own feelings. What status, what worthy and unworthy? The woman in front of him was his lifeline, his everything and he could lose everything, but she had to live well!

“Scared you?” Looking at Anhui’s poor complexion, Qianhe Liyou was not surprised that her actions had scared him. She still remembered that Anhui’s face had been extremely pale when she flew up with Qin Ning in her arms. At that time, Anhui’s face and expression had been as gaunt as blank as a dead person and the moment he saw her, she had even noticed a trace of tears in his eyes!

She did not like tears, but at the moment, she had only felt a thread of warmth. And this warmth was all because of this man’s care and concern for her.
