Chapter 6: Winner is King
What a two-faced crafty man. Wait…. He referred to himself as this king, so was he a duke?
( This king = arrogant way of referring to oneself, but is most commonly used for by high nobles)
"Come." The demonically enchanting low voice in front of her passed through the side of her ears.
Su Luo slightly knitted her brow. Come? If she came after he had told her to come over, wouldn't she lose a lot of face?
What's more, the forking branch on that tree barely had any space, where would she sit if she went over there? Could it be that he wanted her to sit on his lap?
But before she reached a conclusion, the scene before her suddenly blurred, her body moved, and in another blink of an eye, she was already atop the tree. Not only that, she was actually settled within the arms of this man she had just met!
How could Su Luo possibly let someone else take advantage of her whenever they pleased? She subconsciously lifted her dagger to slice at the other party's artery in the neck —— However, Nangong Liuyun's reaction ought to be considered to be quite fast. Su Luo's hand had not even streaked across, and he had already single-handedly forced her hand behind her back.
This posture, caused Su Luo's well-rounded bosom to stand erect as it impressively bulged and swelled.
Su Luo had never expected such a large discrepancy between her martial arts and this guy's. She was right in front of him, but she could not even deal one blow!
Nangong Liuyun laughed with unrestrained wickedness. His slender and smooth finger leisurely stroked Su Luo's creaming complexion. His elegantly pink lips lifted into a wicked smile as it carried a hint of unbridled arrogant air.
"Girl, the current you is no match for this king. What, do you still want to continue?" Nangong Liuyan's rich and low voice carried a trace of wicked charm that was extremely pleasant to hear.
"Let me go!" Su Luo warned in a stern but low voice because in the corner of her eyes, she saw that the approaching people had almost arrived.
"Girl, we're free and bored, how about we play a game?" Nangong Liuyun happily asked in his enchanting low voice as his eyes filled with pure interest.
Su Luo cautiously thought about it and thought that it wouldn't be different from what was happening now, so she coldly nodded: "Speak."
"Then let's gamble on the two in that pond, if they could hide without being discovered, it would be your win. If they cannot avoid discovery, it would be this king's win. How about it?"
"What would be at stake?" Su Luo was extremely poor, so she couldn't gamble with money, but she could use a sleight of hand.
"Winner is king, loser…. warms the bed?" Nangong Liuyun's eyes pricked in extreme interest at his own proposal.
Su Luo's expression chilled. She coldly glanced at Nangong Liuyun with an frank expression, as if she was looking at an idiot.
Nangong Liuyun looked hurt as he covered his chest and weakly suggested: "Winner lies down…. loser falls down?"
Su Luo was completely speechless! Was this man not the least bit ashamed? It's only the first time they've met, alright? It was the first time they have ever spoken, but how could he be so frank? Even she, a modern woman, felt herself blush.
"This won't do, and that also won't do."
Nangong Liuyun languidly fiddled with the hair beside her ear as he spoke in a calm and composed manner, "Could it be that you insist on the winner being king… and the loser becoming queen? If you insist, that is also something not impossible."
Su Luo rolled her eyes in displeasure.
"Become king, become queen. You're not the crown prince right? Yet you're not worried about the wind of rumors cutting your tongue." Su Luo coldly ridiculed him with a roll of her eyes and bluntly said: "Is it really that complicated over there? If I win, you'll have to owe me a favor. If I lose…."
"Then you'll have to give this king a kiss." Nangong Liuyun quickly answered with not one bit of loss.
Why does this man act as if he'll die if he doesn't get to take advantage of me? I seriously want to give him a good thrashing!
Su Luo glared and as a result, allowed him to clearly see her rage.
His eyes laughed with careless leisure, but at the same time, it contained a kind of incomparable sharpness that he was unable to conceal. This person effortlessly released an air that suppresses another and exuded an aura of a domineering king.
Chapter 7: Then Give This King A Kiss
"Okay." Su Luo slowly agreed after quite a long time.
Whatever you say, these conditions favored her. Just a mere kiss can't hurt right? The modern her played around sometimes, so it wasn't as if she wasn't experienced.
The current her didn't have anything and just happened to need a sucker to drop in her door.
Thus, the two treacherous male and female with ulterior motives began their first confrontation.
Su Jingyu's party hurriedly approached.
Su Jingyu was the eldest son of the Su Family. Born from the first lady with a not too shabby innate talent; he was twenty years old yet was already a third step expert, a level that most of the younger generation wished to be at.
He didn't come alone but instead brought along a formidable group of people. The spectacle was quite grand.
Su Xi was mad to the point of no return but there was no way out of the situation. Fearful of exposing any clue of her being there, she hid her entire body behind the lotus flowers. In her heart, she had already yelled at Su Wan to within an inch of her life.
She never expected that she, Su Xi, would one day be put in such a difficult situation!
If the one coming was only Su Jingyu, then it was fine, but he just had to bring along His Highness, the crown prince, and other sons of various noble families. If she were to go out now and was seen by them while looking like this, it was guaranteed that not even a quarter of an hour would pass before news of this would spread throughout the entire imperial capital. When that time comes, how could she, Su Xi, ever intermingle with others in the imperial capital?
Su Xi furiously glared at Su Wan and pledged that after she goes out, she would never let this Su Wan bitch get away with it!
Su Wan was also mad to the point of being half dead. She too, never expected that her luck to take a turn for the worse.
The situation before her eyes was taking a turn for the worse and the people who were coming were increasing by the moment. If they were to be discovered like this…. should they say that they were taking a swim?
But it was spring, and not even summer.
What to do, what exactly should she do? Su Wan's anxiousness was comparable to disorderly ants.
Su Luo curled the corner of her mouth into a contemplating smile as she looked at the entourage of youngsters in bright clothes.
This was actually unexpected. She never would have thought that the crowd of people who came over would actually let Su Xi and Su Wan rack their brains, to then stealthily shrink back behind the lotus flowers. Su Luo then understood that the status of those in that group ought to be considerably high.
The one at the head ought to be the crown prince. He wore a brocade robe of canary yellow with a soaring dragon on his belt. His eyebrows seemed to be meticulously groomed, and his high bridged nose was above thin pale lips that were curled up to display an incomparably privileged air of haughtiness. As he wore this unbridled arrogant flair, he appeared to be both cruel and soft. It only took one look to see that his temper was not good.
Su Jingyu wore a dark green brocade robe with a crystal jade belt. He had a bright handsome face, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, but at the moment, his eyebrows were tightly knitted into an unpleased expression.
The crown prince bursted into laughter after seeing the small fire: "Jingyu, what is your manor doing? Isn't this just playing with fire?"
This was not limited to just the crown prince. The younger male generation of various noble families that were behind the crown prince also began to laugh immediately afterwards.
Because what was before them was a truth that was indeed worthy of being called a joke. Not only that, it only took a glance to clearly see that it was deliberately done on purpose.
Where was the fire here? It was clearly a hoax.
What was present before their eyes now, was just a medium sized bonfire. It was burning atop a pile of withered grass that was easily combustible, and was covered with a layer of fresh green leaves. It was known to all that if wood was not completely dried in the sun, the plume of smoke would be especially large after a period of ignition. And in doing so, it was obvious that the other party had done this to lure them here.
At this time, Su Jingyu also had some suspicions in his heart. The pretty space between his eyebrows opened up as he broke into a smile and said to the crown prince, "It's probably a servant who accidentally started this."
The crown prince stroked his chin as his gaze swept back and forth at the scene before him: "Oh? The General Manor's servants are actually this heaven-daringly audacious?"
Su Jingyu's heart stopped, and then hurriedly explained: "It could also be the result of my younger sister's playful mischief. Since it is alright now, let's go back? Jingyu is a bit unsure of the homework Teacher assigned today, and it just so happens that I could ask Your Highness, the crown prince, for a bit of guidance."
