Chapter 272 *Lin Ruoxi got her eyes back but at what cost?*
"I can give you back your eyes," the mysterious voice murmured, "but only under one condition."
"What condition?" Lin Ruoxi's spirits soared with anticipation.
Little did she know, she was about to make a deal with the Devil himself!
"The condition," Xia Tian continued, his voice dripping with seduction, "... will be decided by me. Now it's up to you whether you want your eyes back or to live like this forever..." The whisper slithered near Lin Ruoxi's ears, its every word forcing her to confront a life-altering choice.
To make a decision in itself is to sever all other possibilities, Xia Tian was aware of this. He sought to trap her, to force her to forsake all other options...
Lin Ruoxi, caught in his web, momentarily lost herself. But her determination fueled her. "... I want my eyes back!" she declared after a brief pause, her resolve shining through.
Xia Tian's lips curved into a satisfied grin, his eyes sparkling with mischief, as he effortlessly stopped juggling.
With a mischievous glint, he instructed Lin Ruoxi to tilt her face upwards.
!!
In a heartbeat, a mesmerizing display of abstract movement unfolded before her eyes. Xia Tian confidently tossed her eyes into the air, each movement precise and deliberate.
As they floated back down, they seamlessly found their place in the empty sockets on Lin Ruoxi's face, as if returning to their rightful home.
A sense of wonder filled the air as her vision gradually returned, painting the world in vibrant hues once again.
"...."
Shi Yue stood there, stunned and speechless, not knowing what to make of the extraordinary spectacle before her.
The little diviner struggled to comprehend the sheer audacity of his actions.
Had he brought her all the way here just to showcase these mind-boggling trickshots?
But it wasn't just that.
How was he even able to do that?
She couldn't help but marvel at the way he effortlessly manipulated the very fabric of his cultivation.
She had never witnessed such an unconventional and masterful control over the elements.
This was a stark contrast to those who diligently followed traditional cultivation techniques. Xia Tian, with his boundless creativity, had surpassed the need for specific methods. He skillfully bent and molded qi to his will, each movement flowing seamlessly like a dance.
Every action he took became a technique in its own right, as if he was crafting a unique masterpiece every time.
If Shi Yue knew that this old fox was creating a new technique with each movement, she would have already strangled herself to death.
It takes billions of years to master one technique, and yet the old fox creates and uses them like it's nothing!
Lin Ruoxi's vision slowly started to flicker back to life, a glimmer of hope sparking within her. With an eager anticipation, she waved her hands through the air, feeling the warmth and reassurance of her own touch against her face.
As her sight began to clear, though still blurry, she could vaguely make out the figure of Xia Tian standing before her.
Just then, the air outside shattered with the piercing wail of sirens, their urgency pounding through the hospital walls and into the room.
Her heart racing, Lin Ruoxi couldn't help but exclaim, "What on earth is happening?"
??
With raised brows, Xia Tian stepped forward, his gaze fixated on the large glass window. There, he saw police vehicles, their flashing lights casting an eerie glow onto the surrounding darkness.
If his estimation was correct, time was running out. They had mere minutes before the authorities would forcefully intrude.
His eyes shifted towards the surveillance camera, its cold lens serving as a chilling reminder. It became clear to Xia Tian that the hospital had summoned the police already!
"We only have ten minutes," he suddenly announced, his voice cutting through the tense air.
Shi Yue's brows furrowed in confusion, wondering to herself, 'Why just ten minutes?'
Sensing the mounting danger, Shi Yue's eyes darted around, trying to piece the puzzle together. "Are we being ambushed?" she asked, her voice laced with trepidation. Xia Tian nodded, confirmation etched in his eyes.
Their attention now fixated on Lin Ruoxi, their gazes locked onto her as she radiated joy from the newfound return of her vision. The relief was evident on her face, oblivious to the impending threat that lurked around them.
A crooked smile slowly formed on Xia Tian's lips, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes. "It's time for you to pay the price," he declared, his voice dripping with a wicked undertone.
Caught off guard, a shiver ran down Lin Ruoxi's spine as he effortlessly lifted her up. "What price!?" she exclaimed, surprise and fear intertwining in her voice.
Xia Tian's laughter filled the air, the sound sending cold chills down their spines. "Naturally, it's you. Time is slipping away, but the view from up here is truly mesmerizing," he taunted.
Lin Ruoxi's eyes widened in disbelief and fear, her mind racing to comprehend the situation.
But before she could react, Xia Tian sprung into action, his movements swift and decisive.
His eyes were transfixed on the breathtaking cityscape that stretched out before him, visible through the enormous glass window. With a sense of urgency, he firmly pressed his hands against the smooth surface and commanded, "Hold on tight."
!!
Suddenly, she was forced to rise onto her two legs, one of which throbbed with excruciating pain, due to being broken already.
Each passing second intensified the agony she felt.
"What on earth are you doing?!" Lin Ruoxi cried out, her voice laced with anguish.
Ignoring her desperate pleas, Xia Tian slowly lifted her hospital gown, exposing her alluring thighs and enticing buttocks.
"I already returned her eyes, so why can't she still see? Is she permanently blind?" Xia Tian feigned innocence, contemplating the situation.
Shi Yue's face twitched with his sattire filled words, she struggled to control the overwhelming urge to plummet him into oblivion, while Lin Ruoxi's face twisted in sudden realization.
"Ah!"
Then, she caught a glimpse of Xia Tian undoing his pants, hurling them aside, and in one swift motion, he forcefully separated her butt cheeks and thrusted himself into her depths.
Lin Ruoxi's fingers clenched tightly around the glass, her eyes squeezed shut in agony, and her face contorted with distress.
"C-Cover yourself!" Shi Yue desperately closed her eyes, her cheeks flushing crimson with embarrassment.
Xia Tian pondered to himself, 'Am I truly that handsome, that she fears she is undeserving of gazing upon me?'
Disregarding her reaction completely, he commenced a relentless pounding of Lin Ruoxi in that same position, the mesmerizing cityscape serving as the backdrop.
The colorful lights illuminated the panorama, presenting a breathtaking sight.
All Xia Tian desired was to witness a woman's tear-streaked face as he ravished her, savoring every moment while basking in the magnificent view.
Unfortunately, Lin Ruoxi became the prime target of his malicious intentions today, and now finds herself on the verge of tears as the searing pain in her leg intensifies with each passing second.
"Ahhhnnn~"
"Nnnoo~ let me go...."
"It hurts so much....auuu..."
The woman was very good at showing attitude to others, unfortunately, it appears she was not very adept at taking pain.
As Shi Yue observed Xia Tian relentlessly assaulting Lin Ruoxi, forcefully pressing her face against the unforgiving glass, she was rendered speechless.
A myriad of emotions flickered across her face - a mixture of bewilderment, helplessness, and frustration.
How could Xia Tian not see the excruciating pain Lin Ruoxi was experiencing?
But then, a disturbing thought crept into Shi Yue's mind.
What if he is doing this exactly because of that reason?
But why?
Can someone get pleasure from giving pain to others?
She had no idea what others were thinking, but Xia Tian was undoubtedly laughing like a maniac in that moment. He whispered a torrent of words into Lin Ruoxi's ears, his sinister amusement overpowering her ability to hear amidst the throbbing pain she felt.
Then, like a torrential storm, there came the deafening sound of people marching down the hallway, their footsteps echoing like a battalion on a mission.
"Tsk, a bit late..." Xia Tian muttered, abruptly ceasing his movements. However, a glimmer of anticipation flickered in his eyes, adding a dangerous edge to his expression. "Haha! It's perfect timing!"
How could a narcissist be late?
It defied everything she knew about him.
This was completely out of character!
But then, his next words soon cleared Shi Yue's confusion, he was only kidding!
Eveything was happening as he wanted — with perfect timing!
*Boom!*
"Crack..."
And just as those thoughts raced through her mind, a thunderous explosion reverberated through the air. Xia Tian's foot collided with the glass, shattering it into countless shards with a single mighty blow.
Lin Ruoxi's heart skipped a beat as the icy breath of the wind brushed against her face, draining color from her cheeks before she felt as if she were being forcefully propelled away from the window.
"Ahhhh!"
A screaming noise echoed - it was the second time she had fallen!
Since encountering Xia Tian, she seemed to only be falling!
