Chapter 634 - A Piercing Pain
Chapter 634: A Piercing Pain
The Persian cat seemed to have been angered by Su Wan. It bared its teeth at Su Wan, its jade-like eyes flashing with a demonic light!
Facing the Persian cat that suddenly pounced on her, Su Wan was shocked!
Her balance was unstable. She staggered and fell straight toward the ground!
At this moment, a thick hand suddenly held onto Su Wan’s back. It immediately controlled Su Wan’s body while the other hand forcefully swept at the Persian cat!
Although the palm did not touch the cat, it seemed to be frightened and instantly ran back to its master’s feet.
It clung to the high priest’s slender white ankles and looked at Jiang Xuecheng timidly. Its previous imposing manner was instantly defeated.
The people at the side looked at this scene and could not help but sigh in their hearts–this cat was really intelligent. It even knew how to pick on the weak. It was indeed worthy of being the high priest’s pet.
Su Wan knew that it was Jiang Xuecheng that had saved her. She was grateful and was about to raise her head and smile at Jiang Xuecheng to express her gratitude.
However, before she could thank him, she suddenly felt a piercing pain.
It was as if something was following the hand that Jiang Xuecheng had just extended over and ruthlessly pierced into her back.
Not only was there blood, but there was also skin and flesh!
Hiss, it hurt!
Su Wan could not bear the pain and could not help but let out a low cry. Her previously calm breathing suddenly became hurried!
Her originally plump lips had lost all color and turned pale!
Su Wan’s slender body trembled. The man who was holding her back felt Su Wan’s trembling and immediately realized that something was wrong.
This painful look was obviously not faked.
“Su Wan, what’s wrong?”
The emperor’s expression changed slightly. He could not care less about the public’s gaze. There was a high priest waiting to be answered, and his eyes were completely focused on Su Wan.
Su Wan bit her lips hard. She raised her eyes to look at Jiang Xuecheng. Her almond-shaped eyes were filled with tears due to the pain.
“My back…”
The man glanced at Su Wan’s pained expression and felt his heart ache for some reason.
He even felt like he couldn’t bear her suffering.
“Back?”
The man widened his eyes in surprise and repeated the word.
Following Su Wan’s words, the emperor shifted his gaze to Su Wan’s back. His hand was already there, so he couldn’t help but press down hard.
It would have been better if he did not press down. Once he pressed down, Su Wan’s beautiful brows instantly furrowed tightly.
“Let go–”
Su Wan shook her head violently like a cat whose tail had been grabbed!
“Don’t touch there!”
The man looked at Su Wan’s exhausted expression. There were faint tears in her reddened eyes.
Sweat dripped from Su Wan’s forehead. She bit her lips slightly and felt a sharp pain on her back.
It was as if there was a hot and wet liquid spreading along her back.
It was blood!
This answer popped up in Su Wan’s heart. Her eyes darkened, as if she could smell the stench of blood.
She clenched her fingers tightly. Her face was pale, and even her voice seemed to be filtered through an hourglass, becoming a little breathless.
“I… have something on my back.”
A sharp pain came from her back, and it was getting stronger and stronger. Su Wan only felt cold sweat on her forehead, and she did not even have the strength to speak.
Her voice was very low. If it were not for Jiang Xuecheng’s good hearing, he would probably only be able to make out a few vague words.
Su Wan blinked her eyes with great effort. The sharp pain spread from her back to her bone marrow, until her limbs and bones were filled with pain.
It was so painful, as if something was gnawing at her flesh and blood.
She wished she could pass out just like that.
The man’s eyelids drooped slightly. He carefully let go of the palm on Su Wan’s back and exerted force on her shoulder. Under the faint moonlight, there seemed to be nothing on Su Wan’s back.
The lavender dress was very appropriately worn on Su Wan’s body.
Because the color of the dress was dark enough, the material was thick enough, and the lights in the garden were not bright enough, the blood that had seeped out climbed on Su Wan’s back, but it was not particularly clear.
Looking at Su Wan’s eyes that were blurred with tears, a trace of pity flashed through the man’s eyes, followed by a heavy and ruthless aura.
—This dress belonged to Diya. That’s right, how could he trust that woman so easily? It could be that Diya had done something to this dress.
For some reason, he knew that this was not the right time. He knew that the high priest was standing right next to him. He should have been prepared.
However…
He picked her up directly. At the same time, he placed his hands on the ground very carefully, avoiding the part where Su Wan said it hurt.
The man lowered his head and looked at her. Although his face was as gloomy as water, his phoenix-like eyes had lost their original coldness. There was an indescribable gentleness hidden in them.
However, at this moment, Su Wan’s eyes were hazy, and her vision was completely blurred. She could not see the expression of Jiang Xuecheng at all.
She could only see Jiang Xuecheng’s cold and determined chin, which was no different from before.
Waves of pain assaulted her. Su Wan powerlessly buried her head in Jiang Xuecheng’s shoulder. Leaning against his thin shirt, she could feel the refreshing and indifferent aura coming from it.
There was also the sound of his heartbeat. It sounded like it was pounding on Su Wan’s heart. It was calm and steady, making her want to rely on him.
Su Wan’s nose was sore. She habitually reached out to hold his steady shoulder.
She almost wanted to overlap the scene in front of her with the time on Earth.
The tears in Su Wan’s eyes kept accumulating. Soon, they condensed into big teardrops and seeped into his skin through his shirt.
“Su Wan, I’ll bring you back first.”
She heard him say this.
Su Wan Wanted to nod but realized that she did not even have the strength to do so. However, a man did not need this answer.
Seeing Jiang Xuecheng walking over, the crowd instantly dispersed and subconsciously wanted to make way for him.
However, there were still people who could not stand this scene.
When Diya saw that Su Wan was in so much pain that she was about to faint, she was initially extremely happy. However, when she saw the emperor carrying her up, she felt a piercing pain in her eyes when she saw this near-heartwarming scene.
What right did she have!
Without thinking, Diya immediately stood up.
What right did this woman have! She actually made her highness ignore the high priest and directly leave the banquet!
Moreover, she even made her highness carry her!
The more Diya thought about it, the more upset she became. Her expression was extremely sincere, and every word she said seemed reasonable.
“Your Highness, the high priest has just arrived. Are you going to leave the banquet for Miss Su? Even if Miss Su is not feeling well, she can find a doctor to see her. How can you abandon the high priest for her?”
Her tone was gentle, but the content of her words was like a needle hidden in cotton.
As soon as Diya said that, some people immediately echoed her words.
Su Wan could not hear what they were arguing about. She only felt that it was very painful.
She bit her lip hard so that she did not make any painful sounds.
The emperor glanced at Diya coldly. Immediately, Diya’s smile froze on her face.
The man carried Su Wan and nodded slightly at the high priest. Then, he walked out without looking away.
“Apologies, please excuse me.”
