His arms were stronger than a steel clamp. They firmly imprisoned Su Luo, and under their command she was unable to budge
"Let go….wuhhh….,"Su Luo just opened her mouth when a full-bodied strong alcoholic drink was forcefully poured into her mouth.
The bright-red grape wine was following the corner of her mouth, and drop by drop, it tumbled down.
Nangong Liuyun's appearance, from head to toe, emitted a majestic and imposing manner. No matter how much force Su Luo employed, he still had not moved a whisker's width.
Su Luo's struggle in front of him was as negligible as dust.
The feverish kiss was earth-shattering strong and overbearing.
Su Luo's mind became an area of blank space, and in a split second, she almost lost herself.
Forcing Su Luo to swallow that mouthful of red wine, Nangong Liuyun intimately closed in. He tenderly touched the edge of her lips and wandered there, lingering.
The soft kiss was as if a feather was caressing along her mouth.
The tip of his tongue's scorching heat burned her, and removed any resistance to the red-colored drops of wine at the corner of her from mouth being sucked clean.
Both of their extremely beautiful faces were almost within reach; close enough to feel one another's scorching, hot breath.
All around them, there was nothing but quiet and silence.
The only thing that could be heard was the Dragon Scaled Horse's rapidly running gallup that gave rise to a biting, cold sound of the wind.
Nangong Liuyun tenderly cupped the palm sized small face in front of his eyes, scrutinizing every delicate detail, with his obsidian eyes radiating a fascinated expression while leaving behind a strong sense of passion.
This kind of passion and intimacy made Su Luo feel very uncomfortable. It made her involuntarily think about the betrayal in her previous incarnation.
Su Luo clearly and coldly turned her head, suppressing the severe waves of nausea in the pit of her stomach. Little by little she adjusted to the extreme ****
Nangong Liuyun, however, did not let her go. A pale, moist finger detained her bright, clean, and tapered lower jaw. His voice carried unprecedented seriousness, stressing each syllable to asked, " Am I that loathsome?"
His gaze from the beginning was firmly locked upon her face. As a result, he couldn't have missed the disgust that flitted around inside of her eyes and her feeling of distress, just a moment ago.
Abruptly the mood dropped until it had reached the freezing point.
Su Luo slowly pushed him away. Her gaze went through the window curtains that had been tossed aside…Looking towards the distant and remote sky.
"I'll ask again, am I really that loathsome," Nangong Liuyun asked persistently from behind her back.
Was he loathsome? Su Luo asked herself honestly. Ever since waking up in this world, Nangong Liuyun's assistance toward her has been an undoubtedly enormous boon.. Although he sometimes liked to 'raise and lower his hand'*, towards her, there was never any malice.
But, how could she tell him about that matter from her previously life.
That matter, that person, she really doesn't want to mention it.
A trace of sadness, difficult to perceive, emerged from Su Luo's dimly lit eyes as she said, "My broken heart has nothing to do with you, so don't ask anymore."
She did not expect that this sentence would act like a fuse, as all of a sudden, it had ignited Nangong Liuyun's fury.
He pulled Su Luo in one grasp, an action that was rude and unreasonable, seized her chin, and let her look at him face to face. He very fiercely interrogated, "If your broken heart had nothing to do with me, then who was it related to?"
A moment ago, as the sadness that flited by her eyes, he seemed to understand but also not understand. But what he was confident of was, that those words to Nangong Liuyun, definitely was not a good thing.
Su Luo's certainty and air of arrogance was aroused. Her stare obstinately forged ahead, "Nangong Liuyun, who are you to me? Isn't your control rather too wide?"
Nangong Liuyun smiled instead of being angry. a pair of beautiful, star-like eyes were cold as ice. As he resumed detaining her lower jaw, he stressed each syllable, making a vow. " You are this king's wife. This point will never change!"
"Did I agree to this?" Su Luo's thin eyebrows had been incited, and her eyes held a shallow, mocking smile.
Su Luo's long hair fluttered in the wind. Her face faintly smiled. Her meaningful glance lacked both stormy waves and swelling water. Neither joyful nor sad, the depths of her eyes hid a horrifying expression.
Nangong Liuyun stared blankly, as he became stumped for words. After just a moment, a mysteriously cold look emerged from its serene and hidden depth. A resplendently light smile appeared from a pair of brilliant red fulsome lips, which emitted a gem like luster. The corner of his mouth hooked up into devilish flattery. He emphatically and self-confidently said, "You, Su Luo this lifetime must be mine, Nangong Liuyun's wife!"
A pair of glittering obsidian eyes, flashed an expression. That disdainfully look at all living things, revealed a regality, insufferable arrogance and overbearing haughtiness.
"Let's wait and see. Walking to the end of this road, what the final result will be." Su Luo's pink lips rose up a little.
The Dragon Scaled Horse was really worthy of its accolades. The entire way it traveled at lightning speed, so what originally would have been a ten day journey, unexpectedly ended when they arrived within two days instead.
The Sunset Mountain Range was the Eastern Ling Empire's largest forest containing magical beasts. It was located in the northwest part of Eastern Ling Empire, and covered an area approximately as large as the size of a province.
Inside the forest, trees have undergone countless years of nourishment. These ancient trees were not only lush and flourishing, they also reached high into the sky. The magical beasts roamed this land, without fear, and people without martial art skills would not dare to enter inside.
But the Sunset Mountain Range's arteries were not completely devoid of life. Inevitably there were martial artists who went inside. Perhaps to learn through experience and cultivate, or maybe even to hunt magical beast or to forage for medicinal herbs.
The extravagantly gorgeous horse carriage slowly came to a halt. Stopping at a small village on the northern edge of the Sunset Mountain Range called Bridgehead village.
Normally people who wanted to enter the Sunset Mountain Range would rest for a night in Bridgehead village. Here they could replenish and prepare the supplies necessary to enter Sunset Mountain Range.
"Eat more green vegetables, because once we go in, there will only be roasted meat ." In a private room, Nangong Liuyun's chopstick picked up slices of chicken and placed it in Su Luo's bowl. Inside his eyes, they were nearly overflowing with a dazzling smile.
The argument from two days ago, as far as he was concerned, already seemed like a puff of wind. Once it had been blown then it was gone like a puff of smoke. After the events of that day, he quickly returned to acting the way he was before, scheming about the hunting trip, such that Su Luo could not lift her face.
Su Luo glanced at him and said, " you should also eat."
"If you get it for me, then I will eat it." Nangong Liuyun leaned close to her, with a shameless smile on his face.
However in that very moment, a noisy scuffling sound came through from the outside. Among the noise was also accompanied along with the yells and cryings of a little girl, who seem to have lost her head out of fear.
Su Luo looked down from the open window.
At that time a dispute was breaking out on the first floor lobby.
One could only see a thirteen to fourteen year old girl really crying miserably. And at her side, her white-bearded grandfather had just been grabbed by the collar and hoisted high into the air.
"You guys let go of my grandpa. You guys quickly release my grandpa. Grandpa will quickly be strangled to death by you guys…waaaa…." The little girl was crying so hard that she almost was unable to breath.
Yet the person choking her old grandpa was a wealthy young noble. Though his entire body clothed in splendid brocade garment, it was a pity he had been born a sharp beak and monkey cheeks on his face.
He dragged on the final sound of a syllable, and leisurely sneered. With a face that held a very ferocious appearance, "Dead old man, you see clearly right? Our plate of food has a fly in it. Come now, tell me, how will you deal with this?"
That elderly man being strangled was already around 70 to 80 years old. His hair white as frost, and he had a face full of wrinkles. With his eyelids drooping, his answer did not come quickly.
Misery filling his eyes, he trembled, swayed, while he entreated the man, " My lords, our inn is always clean, how could we have flies? This…this surely was a mistake somewhere."
" A mistake? Is this not a fly? Speak you! How are you going to deal with this?" That wealthy young noble, with one foot on top of the bench was still grasping the old man's collar with one hand.
Behind him was a row of hired thugs, each and every one of them with a dragon's vitality and a tiger's ferociousness. Their gazes opened wide as a circle. They were extremely formidable. So much so that they gave off a powerfully deterring aura.
"These dishes….just regard it as this little old man's gifts to all of you, free of charge. What do you think?" The old man's face had an unspeakable sadness.
"Gifted to me free of charge? What do you mean? Is this not acting as if we are freeloading?" That wealthy young noble was very dissatisfied. "You see clearly it's your house's dish that has a fly! Ah, See? Did you see it?"
He lifted the elderly man's head and pressed it down onto the table, almost burying his entire face into the dish full of food.
Misery filling the elder man's eyes. "Yes, yes, yes, you lords say how it should be handled, and it will be done in that way…"
The frequent sound of the wealthy young noble's cold laughter could be heard as it resounded. "You know, this is not because we deliberately extorted you. It's because your food had a problem. So, upon seeing that you provide 50 tael* of silver, then this matter will end from this point on."
"50 taels?" An expression of such shock flashed across the elderly man's entire face that it was almost hard to believe.
*1 tael = 50 grams (very heavy)
