Without Me - Chapter 30 Oceanic Depth Of Monstrous Eyes 2
And she hated the part of her being who gave in to this look.. A look that was the look of Satan himself. She hated herself so much …
When Li Ye Han reached her bed, Yao Xi used every, even the smallest, ounce of her being, praying in spirit to all the saints for some divine support and help in freeing herself from this psychopath.
She knew that as soon as he was closer to her, Yao Xi would be eaten alive and no bones would remain.
She did not know how, but suddenly, as if her prayers were answered, Yao Xi managed to move her head.
It was a slight twitch, as if she suddenly had got a nervous tic, but it allowed her to free herself from the mesmerizing influence of the binding forces of darkness.
Though still in a daze, Yao Xi shouted in thankful prayer to all the gods, angels and saints that had come to her mind. In the state in which her empty mind was currently staying, it was an enormous feat that she had managed to make at least one living cell that was still conscious.
Yao Xi gestured mentally, wiping the cold sweat that flooded her forehead. For a moment she thought that she would die – this time for sure and irrevocably, without the possibility of returning.
She felt the withering look of Li Ye Han on her face, as if he wanted to suck her up to the whole being. He was like an inexorable emperor who was considered the right and had power over absolutely every living being on earth.
Through the eyes of the imagination, Yao Xi saw Li Ye Han handsome and full of aristocratic dignity watched her in silence, scanning every centimeter of her body, and the way he looked at her made Yao Xi feel as if he was undressing her layer by layer . She felt as if Li Ye Han did not just stop at the clothes, but he went on, dealing with the skin he was tearing off piece by piece, enjoying the view of naked bones.
Yao Xi closed her eyelids, struggling with tears falling to them. She couldn’t cry. She didn’t want to show her weakness; not before this man who is just waiting to find a weak point of his enemy and attack in the least expected moment, dealing a lethal blow.
She bit her lower lip, pretending it was due to discomfort caused by the pain after the operation, and she prayed in spirit that Li Ye Han would not guess the truth.
She thought that if Ruo Yan did not kill her personally, she can die in horror at any moment. Li Ye Han’s presence alone almost caused a heart attack in Yao Xi.
Earlier in the villa Li Ye Han, when she had exchanged a few words with him, she didn’t feel so scared. Yao Xi was firmly convinced that she was in this state through these hellish eyes, which had a strange property of paralyzing and invoking the innermost fears.
Yao Xi did not know how long she was in this state, but when she forced her mind and body to cooperate with all her resolve, she felt much better. Yao Xi even thought that in addition to finding someone who would help her in physical training, she should also look for someone with whom she could also work on mental strength. Otherwise, she would not survive another unexpected confrontation with the devil.
She expressed a short prayer in her thoughts, sincerely hoping that the saints would not leave her this time too and would give courage to deal with this incarnation of evil.
Yao Xi took a few calming breaths, and when she made sure that her voice would not betray how nervous she was, she tried to get the most innocent and indifferent tone that she was able to do at the moment: “What an unexpected visit.” Yao Xi patted herself mentally in the chest, congratulating on her courage when she heard how nonchalantly sounds her voice. She was proud of herself. “What did I deserve for this honor, Mr. Li?”
She didn’t dare look at Li Ye Han, afraid that she would be trapped again in the depths of his gaze. She tilted her head slightly, looking pensive, but she did not receive an answer. The man stuck his piercing eyes at her, as if he wanted to look into her head.
Once she wanted to take a chance and see if his presence was just a product of her tired mind, she heard a familiar, icy voice who whipped her like a whip: “What are you playing in?”
One brief sentence caused shivers on Yao Xi’s body, and her eyes were covered with a mist of bitterness. She did not forget how cruel he was for her and how much he hated her, but in the heart of Yao Xi there was still a microscopic glimmer of hope that for once he would treat her differently, like a human being, not like an irrelevant insect. This spark that somehow managed to take root somewhere inside her immediately went out, and Yao Xi gave a quiet bitter giggle. “Mr. Li, I don’t understand what you’re talking about”
The atmosphere in the room was getting tense, and the aura emanating from Li Ye Han’s body was so intense that Yao Xi wondered for a moment whether he was a human at all.
“Why did you go to this party?” He drawled, and Yao Xi’s eyes rolled with barely perceptible sadness.
She knew that Li Ye Han came here to seek justice for Ruo Yan. What else did she expect? Nevertheless, she could not force her hopelessly stupid heart, so that it would not hurt.
