Alas, she screamed until her throat was raw, but no one paid her any attention.
Finally, a drunken Little Eunuch came.
He leered at her like a ravenous wolf.
"Lady Xi, if you make this servant happy, this servant will move you to another cell so you can spend your last moments comfortably. How about that?"
Lady Xi turned pale with fright.
"Ah!"
"Get lost! Don't disgust me! Get out!"
The Little Eunuch gave a sinister smile.
"Lady Xi, that's not very nice of you. This servant is human too, so how can I be disgusting?"
Lady Xi stepped back and picked up a brick.
"Are you going or not? If you don't leave, I'll scream for help!"
The Little Eunuch smirked lewdly, feigning fear.
"Oh dear!"
"My beautiful little thing, scream all you want! No one will come even if you shatter the heavens!"
He added,
"I've seen plenty of people on their deathbeds!"
"You are the first such fiery one! Since you won't live long, why not make your last moments comfortable?"
