Chapter 289 - Numb
Luo Chenxi watched Su Wan falling from the cliff, instantly a gush of sweetness spurted in her heart. Finally! Finally! She finally got rid of this annoying obstacle in her path, with this b.i.t.c.h gone, Lin Rui have to marry her even if he didn"t want to, now that Su Wan was gone sooner or later she will drag Lin Rui in her bed. Once she gets her hand on him let"s see how he will escape from her clutches!
Men, they were all same without Su Wan, it wouldn"t take long for Lin Rui and his bothers to roll in bedsheets with her.
Luo Chenxi never once thought that the Lin brothers were different from the men she usually accompanied. They would rather live their entire lives as virgins and widowers than touch a filthy woman like her who has no qualms about whom and when she slept with, if they married her who knows the top of their heads might go greener than a green perrier pasture.
Not to mention she wasn"t their type and the Lin brothers would never look at her way whether Su Wan was with them or not.fr???e??oν??. c??
However, Luo Chenxi was someone who
believed that she was the most beautiful girl in the village, with her loose disposition and character, many men in the village liked to kiss her a.s.s, increasing her vanity to another level. Thus, even though Su Wan was more beautiful and capable than her Luo Chenxi still believed that she was better than Su Wan who was brought by Lin Brothers unlike her who was sorted by so many men.
What Luo Chenxi didn"t know was that those men only sort her out was because she has a good figure and she was the daughter of the village head nothing more, they didn"t fancy her for her qualities or because she was capable.
Su Wan who was flailing her arms to reach the cliff had no idea that the one who pushed her down was already dreaming about replacing her, if she did - Su Wan might have chopped Luo Chenxi up with the cleaver in her hands without even bothering to ask questions. However, currently, she couldn"t pay attention to the culprit of her fall, mainly for two reasons, first - she couldn"t see who it was because the forest in the mountain was too dark with snow-filled clouds covering the sky, the only thing she caught on was that the culprit was a woman who smelled strongly of roses mixed with morning dew.
Su Wan didn"t know who that woman was but she swore that once she got out of this valley alive, she would catch hold of that woman even if she has to sniff around the village like a sniffer dog! But she will get her hands on that woman who dared to push her down the cliff!
And secondly, she couldn"t bother about the woman right now when she plummeting down all the way to her early death. Su Wan didn"t want to die and she wasn"t willing to let go of her second life without fighting for it, so she tried her best to thrust her body forward to the side of the cliff as long as she got closer to the cliff, she could decrease the speed of her fall by embedding the cleaver in the wall of the cliff.
It would have been impossible if this happened in summer but right now the cliff was covered in a rather thick layer of snow, Su Wan was certain that she could use this layer of snow to her advantage thus she madly twisted in midair trying to push her body closer to the cliff.
Thankfully, Su Wan"s core strength was rather good so she was able to bring her plan in motion somehow. Once she got closer to the cliff wall, Su Wan rooted her cleaver in the layer of the snow that was covering the cliff wall, slowing down her speed. Though Su Wan slower down her acceleration by embedding both her hands in the snow layer, her speed was still incredibly fast but with the cliff wall acting as a frictional force, it wasn"t that dangerous as before at least she wouldn"t fall to her death.
" It hurts" muttered Su Wan as her body continued to fall, her hands that were deeply rooted in the snow, stung and fell numb after a short while making her realise that both her hand must have gotten frostbite. But no matter how badly it hurt, Su Wan gritted her teeth and endured it.? This was her decision and all the consequences were hers to face, she couldn"t leave Lin Jing in this valley without any medicinal herbs or treatment if by chance he was alive but badly injured Su Wan wanted to make sure to grab on to that one chance! Lin Jing was strong and resilient as long as he had his wits just like her, he would not die! So for the sake of Lin Jing, Su Wan endured the spreading numbness in her hands and feet.
BANG!
Finally, Su Wan reached the end of the cliff after falling for G.o.d knows how many hours. Her numb legs buckled under her weight and she fell on her back, she was exhausted after clutching on the cliff for so long. Even her hands and feet have gone numb, she raised her right hand after a lot of jerky movements and sure enough her fingers were swelling to the size of sausages.
Su Wan hurled a diatribe of curses at the woman who pushed her down as she somehow got to her fours, her legs were wobbly and she couldn"t stand up, but since she needed to find Lin Jing, somehow she managed to crawl up to her feet.
Then with shaky steps, she somehow pushed herself to walk forward, the weather was taking a turn for the worse, snow was falling heavily covering her head and shoulders with a pile of snow in no time, with the looming dark clouds over her head Su Wan couldn"t see anything, in the end, she had to resort to the most stupidest way to search for Lin Jing.
" Ah, Jing! Jing ge? Can you hear me if you can answer me! It"s Wan Wan" Su Wan knew that her shouts might attract wild animals but she had no choice! It was snowing so badly how was she supposed to look for Lin Jing when she can"t even see? Though she didn"t know whether or not her voice could reach Lin Jing in such a heavy snowfall with cold winds echoing around the valley " Lin Jing! Can you hear me? Lin Jing are you there?"
Su Wan kept shouting Lin Jing"s name every once in a while on the top of her lungs, once or twice she almost triggered an avalanche, it was only through sheer luck that she managed to escape.
"Jing ge?" this time Su Wan shouted even louder and she indeed received a reply but not from a human but a growling animal.
