Chapter 281 - Su Ci Yi's Predicament

Su Ci Yi had fallen asleep. 

Amidst the cold and rough ground, she fell asleep deeply. She really admired this quality of hers in the middle of chaos and struggle. Either way, she hadn't had eaten for an entire week. She could already feel her nerves lagging. She only had her half of her foot stuck in the cultivation world. A part of hers is still a human and one basic requirement of being a human is to eat and drink.

It seemed that the man had no interest in letting her out sooner. He also forgot the fact that she still ate human foods. Did he assume that she is already a cultivator of a highest level?

" What are you thinking? Planning of escaping again? Better stop it. I haven't gained my stamina the reason I can't go out. So you better stay in my side first." The man warned.

If she ever stay, she will starve to death! How could this man so uninterested in this matter?

"I am hungry. I don't see anything to eat here." For the first time, Su Ci Yi spoke.

This is the first time that the man had heard Su Ci Yi's voice. When he first heard it, he was stunned. 

Su Ci Yi saw him in dazed and thought: 'Is her voice really that ugly?'

"I'll let you eat but I have a request."

The man snapped out of his dazed and swiftly flew on her side. Snatching her face and vividly gazed at it.

"What it is?"

Su Ci Yi swatted his hand and turn to the side.

But the man forcefully turned her around by breaking a few of her bones in her shoulders. 

Su Ci Yi could only hissed in pain as she glare at him.

"I'll give you food to eat if you sing me a song."

Su Ci Yi: ... Are you kidding me?!

What could Su Ci Yi respond? She just smirk at him, turn her back and mope at the corner. In her entire life, she will never sing again! Last time was her last time.She will never do it again!

When she was still in her Sect back then, she sang a song. And the result was embarrassing.

Su Ci Yi didn't want to talk about that embarrassing moment at all. It was horrible! Too horrible!

When she was sulking on the sideline, she heard the footsteps of the man going further and further away. She didn't need to look to it because next moment; she heard a loud thump on the ground. Followed by a boisterous snoring.

Snoring?

Wait, what?

Yes, he is snoring loudly. She didn't know if he intentionally let out this loud irritating noise to annoy her or if he really had this habit. Su Ci Yi could only mutter on the sideline. She didn't know how time had passed. Maybe it's been a week here. 

There's no way that she can know since she was stuck inside this dark and conspicuous room.

Su Ci Yi's stomach growl. She also felt the numbing of her whole body. Aside from being hungry, Su Ci Yi was also thirsty. She didn't know what she was feeling, anymore.

She only directed her mind in cultivating. However, when she was about to enter into her meditation state and going through her cultivation, she realized that she couldn't just cultivate at all!

The surrounding isn't the type and suitable to cultivate with.

When she thought she can escape her hunger and thirst through cultivation but she was dissapointed of the result.

Guess there was no choice at all...

Su Ci Yi stood up, went over to the snoring man. Looked at him menacingly and gulp down. Since there was no one here, and it was only him and her... why not do the job? It won't hurt at all. She can't just die here. 

Fighting head-on this man is like a suicidal move.

Su Ci Yi swallowed her pride. This is the second time that she will go out of her character for the sake of her food!

Her intention is to get out alive. No sense in preserving her pride if she end up a corpse and live with the piles of bones here.

Su Ci Yi cough up twice, clearing her throat... and started to sing--

Argh!

Su Ci Yi didn't really want to sing!?

"Aren't you going to sing?" The man who was supposed to be asleep spoke.

" T-twinkle, twinkle little star... how I wonder what you are?"

The man: ... She's definitely tone deaf.

"... Twinkle, twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are?"

The man who was listening has no reaction at all. Hence, Su Ci Yi abruptly ended the song in just two lines.

" Do you really wanted to know what I am? You don't need to sing it if you want to ask. Find another song, this isn't applicable."

What applicable is he saying?

It's the only song that she could remember in the mortal realm!

Su Ci Yi glared at the man. How come she could sense the same vibe as that man? Is this his long-lost twin brother? Did Qin Yu had a relatives? How come whenever she's in front of him, she wanted to tear that hateful face of him!

"I won't sing."

This time, Su Ci Yi had drawn her swords and directed to him. If she didn't want to die here, then she should win this fight. There's no room for loosing.

"Is this a declaration that you will go against me?"

"How was it? I have been too docile lately yet I've reach my limit. How about this, you let me out of this place, I'll let you off the hook this time? However, I can't turn a blind eye to your abode. Do you know that it causes disturbance up there?"

The man only raised his hand and grip her sword. The sharp edge of the weapon cut through his palm.

" I will be happy to accept your challenge. This time, don't blame me if I accidentally snap out your neck in the fit of the battle, huh?"

A sarcastic smile appeared on Su Ci Yi's face. " Show me your actions then? I'm ready when your ready."
