My Super Beautiful Lady Boss-Chapter 584 - 579 Time is Tight
Chapter 584: Chapter 579 Time is Tight
Su Xuan, having coveted a bit of feminine allure, regretted deeply that he was wounded by Qiuyue’s poisoned Flying Knife. It seemed that from now on, he would have to change his ways regarding women, or it would hinder important matters.
"You’ve been hit by my poisoned Flying Knife, your death is certain,"
At this moment, although Qiuyue was at a disadvantage, she was incomparably joyful.
Su Xuan really wanted to kill this despicable woman, suddenly a plan came to mind—since she wanted him dead, he would make sure she died as well.
Bang bang bang!
The two were locked in an embrace, but their hands were constantly moving, fighting desperately for the brocade bag.
Su Xuan thought of a devious trick, cursing, "Today you dared to use your body as a condition to poison me, such a vile method, I no longer care about face."
"Ah! What are you doing?!"
Su Xuan reached swiftly toward Qiuyue’s lower area, his speed unforeseeable, causing Qiuyue to scream continuously—this truly showed the vile side of a man, and Su Xuan was really going all out.
This time, the place where their palms struggled moved from the vicinity of the brocade bag on the thigh to Qiuyue’s lower secretive area.
This was the result Su Xuan wanted, this time he successfully seized the brocade bag. His hand was incredibly powerful, subduing Qiuyue with one hand, while effortlessly opening the brocade bag with the other.
By now, Qiuyue had no strength left to resist. With one hand, Su Xuan rifled through the brocade bag, while his other hand was mischievously positioned beneath Qiuyue, who could only prepare to protect her core at any moment.
Qiuyue merely thought that Su Xuan was seeking a potion to alleviate his condition. She was thinking too simply; Su Xuan’s intentions were not that benign.
"Found it!"
Finally, Su Xuan found what he was seeking in the brocade bag, brimming with excitement, his eyes even sparkling with joy.
"Ah!"
This time Qiuyue screamed again—a sound that Su Xuan wanted to hear.
Su Xuan plunged a poisoned blade into Qiuyue’s body. Regrettably, the blade was too short to kill, but the poison on it was enough to leave a body without a resting place.
"Su Xuan!"
Qiuyue, furious and unable to turn her body, twisted her head around, utterly hating Su Xuan, never having expected him to stealthily use her own poisoned blade. Qiuyue felt a despair she had never known before.
"Fight fire with fire—this was all your own doing, don’t blame others."
Su Xuan said coldly.
Qiuyue, not showing any weakness, retorted, "My death is trivial, but having you and Li Yuanyuan join me wouldn’t be bad either!"
Slap!
Su Xuan slapped her across the face. Such a malicious woman was like a cancer on the earth, a scourge on humanity.
"Hmph, what good does hitting me do now? We’re both going to die anyway. Wouldn’t it be better to enjoy what little time we have left? Don’t you think?"
Qiuyue said bleakly.
"How should we spend it? You tell me," Su Xuan was quite interested in this question.
"For instance, we could book a room. I’ve lived for thirty years and have never experienced what it’s like to be a woman, and you, you haven’t experienced what it’s like to be a man, have you?"
Qiuyue said with a sheepish smile.
Of course, Su Xuan was very interested in booking a room, but he thought about how his lust had just led him to get hit by a poisoned Flying Knife, wondering now if it was too reckless.
Then he heard Qiuyue provocatively say, "What’s the matter? Can’t even function as a man anymore? If that’s the case, then I’m really disappointed, hehe."
Su Xuan watched her closely, unsure if she would pull any tricks, although he had no objections to going out and having a final fling.
Fearing she might resort to some ploy, Su Xuan took out the poisoned blade from her brocade bag for safety’s sake and stabbed Qiuyue several times. Counting them, there were over a dozen stabs—this way, Su Xuan felt somewhat more secure.
"Su Xuan, you’re so heartless, can’t you be a bit gentler with women?" Qiuyue said with seductive eyes, at that moment she seemed like a delicate little wife, even slightly shy.
"Remember, you’re an assassin, those dozen or so stabs are nothing to you."
Su Xuan stared at her and said, although he heard Qiuyue say she had no antidote, Su Xuan still didn’t believe her, and since he was in a hurry, he could no longer afford to check into a hotel with her to experience Qiuyue’s cold body.
Deep down, Su Xuan had his own plan, he intended to release the tiger back to the mountain tonight. If Qiuyue really left, she would likely go to retrieve the antidote for herself, and then Su Xuan could seize the antidote later. If he gave her time and she didn’t leave, then Su Xuan really had no other choice but to try to find the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus.
At this point, how could Su Xuan afford to waste precious time by checking into a hotel with her, even though Su Xuan had always liked Qiuyue’s well-nurtured body for decades, but saving people came first.
To prevent Qiuyue from escaping at this moment, he tied her up tightly with a rope, planning to let her escape intentionally once they reached where they were staying, then he would follow her.
Since Qiuyue’s outer garment was torn during the fight earlier, Su Xuan had no sympathy for such a villain, he tied her up directly using rope over her bra and hurriedly took her away, barely seen by anyone because of the fast pace.
Su Xuan checked into a hotel, settled Qiuyue in a room there, and loosened her ropes in the room, intentionally letting her escape, hoping she would run to a place where there was an antidote.
Who knew that just as Su Xuan untied Qiuyue in the hotel, she tightly hugged him and yelled, "Don’t go, I need you, do you really not like women at all? I can learn any trick."
Su Xuan wasn’t focused on this, so naturally, he ignored her.
Qiuyue watched despondently as Su Xuan walked away. To test whether she really intended to go back, he had booked the presidential suite of the local hotel and even prepaid for a whole week. Su Xuan had staked everything he had just to see if Qiuyue really intended to leave.
Su Xuan arrived at the corridor and called Li Yuanyuan, who had also been poisoned. Knowing she only had a week to live, she felt somewhat relieved because back in the labyrinth, Su Xuan had risked being hit by a poisoned flying blade to save her, along with his words, "As long as you produce the antidote, I’m willing to do anything!"
That completely moved Li Yuanyuan; she was conquered by Su Xuan’s righteousness and if there was an afterlife, she would definitely repay Su Xuan properly.
At this time, Li Yuanyuan was already lying in the hospital. Although she still looked almost normal, it was advised she stay there to prevent any sudden onset of her condition.
"So, did you catch the assassin?"
Li Yuanyuan asked casually.
"Yes, I caught her, but she really might not have any antidote." Su Xuan didn’t want to say so, but it was an undeniable fact, even the most beautiful lies must be punctured eventually.
"Hmm, I understand. I don’t have many regrets in this world, as long as the assassin is brought to justice. You all need to live well, for the world is still so fascinating. There are many places I have not visited yet, you can see them for me."
Li Yuanyuan could no longer bear to continue speaking. Being a young teacher in her early twenties who had just graduated, her life was only just beginning. She truly felt reluctant to leave this world, but she showed a strong front in front of Su Xuan. After she hung up the phone, her tears fell incessantly. Perhaps this was fate, a disaster beyond human control.
Su Xuan had wanted to say that he and the assassin were also poisoned and could keep her company to make her feel slightly better, but before he could say it, Li Yuanyuan, fearing she couldn’t control her emotions, hurriedly ended the call.
Su Xuan could more or less guess that Li Yuanyuan was suffering inside, but he did not mention it and continued his efforts to find the antidote.
Su Xuan spent the entire night in the hotel, during which he received calls from Liu Feilong, Tang Sisi, and even Ma Yizhu, the CEO of Tianyu Group. Su Xuan declined them all, as finding the antidote was his top priority now.
Su Xuan was almost driven mad by the need for an antidote. Although he himself needed an antidote that he had a month to acquire, the poison he was currently suffering from would only allow him a week to live. Fortunately, both required the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus for treatment. If two different antidotes were needed, Su Xuan’s head would explode with frustration.
Su Xuan spent an entire night in the hotel. Qiuyue did not show any sign of leaving, enjoying a luxurious stay that seemed like heaven.
Through the hotel staff Su Xuan found out that Qiuyue was very comfortable inside, even dancing while watching TV, which infuriated Su Xuan so much he almost wanted to storm in and confront her. However, he needed to maintain his patience, giving himself a two-day limit. If Qiuyue made no move by then, he would take her with him to find the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus.
As to why he would take her along, Su Xuan thought that if they encountered danger, he could use her as a scapegoat, as a means to an end, or call it recycling waste.
If they met an enemy on the ground, having Qiuyue there would also be good for defense, offering multiple benefits at a good price.
The next day, Su Xuan directly asked Liu Feilong for a week off, claiming he needed to clear his head due to feeling emotionally unwell. Liu Feilong considered it and agreed; being in a bad mood was a serious matter, and it would be counterproductive if Su Xuan ended up using a friend for Kung Fu practice.
Over the phone, Liu Feilong also urged Su Xuan to come back soon, saying they really needed him.
The Tang family of the Datang Restaurant, ever since Tang Tiantian returned home and told them about Su Xuan, Tang Fengyun insisted on finding Su Xuan and even wanted to take him to the hospital for a checkup. He told his daughter Tang Sisi, "Your future husband is in such a condition, and you won’t even visit him? A good husband like him is hard to find, even with a lantern. It’s as if I’ve raised you for nothing."
Deep down, Tang Sisi longed to visit Su Xuan, but she had no idea where he was currently. It was like a mute enduring the taste of coptis—suffering in silence.
Ma Yizhu, the beautiful CEO of Tianyu Group, also cared deeply for Su Xuan. Ever since Su Xuan had impersonated her boyfriend, Wang Fangqian, who drove a Mercedes, had been harassing her. He kept asking her to bring her boyfriend out again. Su Xuan was too busy to attend to her, and could only plan to come back after settling his own matters.
The next evening, Su Xuan’s patience was finally running out; it was time to take Qiuyue and search for the antidote.
