Free Web NovelChapter 817: Chapter 817: Getting Away with It
Han Qingjue pressed her lips tightly together. She knew that Xia Ji was not to be questioned, and she could no longer dawdle with her. Otherwise, Xia Ji might start to suspect her.
Han Qingjue took a deep breath and handed the silver needle that Xia Ji gave her to Xia Ji.
The silver needle Xia Ji gave her appeared to be just an ordinary silver needle, but in reality, it was a miniature space artifact. The space was not large, just enough for an artifact refiner with some skills to make. Han Qingjue also had such a silver needle.
And now, the silver needle was filled with blood,
Xia Ji took the silver needle, placed it near her nose, and lightly sniffed, slightly raising the corners of her lips.
Though Han Qingjue, who was a few steps away, showed no expression on her face, her heart was pounding violently, nearly making her lose her balance. She clenched her teeth to hold on.
Fortunately, Xia Ji hadn’t noticed anything amiss.
She indeed had drawn blood. The amount of blood that could be drawn with the silver needle Xia Ji gave her was not under her control but was determined by the size of the space within the needle. Therefore, from the beginning when she planned to take blood from Xiao Xue, she was cautious and did not use the silver needle Xia Ji gave her. Instead, she used an ordinary silver needle she had to take a tiny amount of blood from Xiao Xue’s wound.
Then, as she turned to leave, she pricked her own arm with the silver needle Xia Ji gave her.
That’s when she realized how ruthless Xia Ji truly was.
So much blood, even she couldn’t handle it, let alone Xiao Xue, who was just a child. Drawing so much blood would definitely cause him to die from blood loss.
Xia Ji was basically trying to kill Xiao Xue.
Or maybe, she never considered Xiao Xue’s life at all. From the moment she planned to use her to draw Xiao Xue’s blood, she intended to let Xiao Xue’s death fulfill her dream of becoming a god.
To disguise that she was suffering from blood loss and not let Xia Ji notice, Han Qingjue had to quickly swallow a pill that could temporarily sustain her strength. But even so, her body was reaching its limit and couldn’t hold on much longer.
She used her power to catalyze that tiny bit of Xiao Xue’s blood she had taken. Fortunately, Xiao Xue’s blood was quite special. Even just a little was enough to completely mask the aura of her own blood. This way, Xia Ji would find it hard to discover the truth.
After all, no matter how extraordinary Xia Ji was, she hadn’t encountered Xiao Xue’s blood. As long as the aura matched, she couldn’t tell the real from the fake.
It was by seizing upon this opportunity that Han Qingjue deceived Xia Ji, though she knew she would eventually get caught.
But she couldn’t care about that anymore.
Han Qingjue may be shameless, but in the end, she couldn’t use a child’s life to fulfill a wish she couldn’t realize.
She truly liked Su Yu, really liked him a lot, but no matter how much she liked him, that was all she could do. If there was even a sliver of a chance, she wouldn’t be willing to give up, but sadly, years ago, she already saw it clearly. She had no chance at all, not even a tiny bit.
Su Yu was probably the most heartless man in this world. His feelings were too clear. If he didn’t like you, even a glance seemed redundant. No matter how desperately you flailed and struggled in front of him, he treated you like air, like you didn’t exist.
In his eyes, not even once, there was an image of her.
You can never move someone who doesn’t love you.
