Therefore, even as murderous intent surrounded them and under circumstances where a moment of carelessness could prove fatal, Su Luo was completely protected within Nangong Liuyun's embrace. Confused from the lack of air and with her vision blocked, Su Luo was completely unaware of the truth despite sensing that something was not quite right.
It was only after the battle had settled that Nangong Liuyun unhurriedly released her. Seeing Su Luo repeatedly inhaling large mouthfuls of air, he smiled with demonic charm. "Do you like this king kissing you?"
Su Luo was infuriated to the point that she was speechless. In the end, she just glared at him and picked up her dagger to leave. However, all of a sudden, her figure stood still.
When did such a large amount of fine powder accumulate in the hot spring pool? Moreover, it looked like the powder was actually black iron?
Additionally, its original shape could be vaguely seen to resemble that of an arrow.
Su Luo's line of sight shot towards the window.
A finger-sized hole could be seen there. Its notch was smooth and round, not too big or small and just the right size for an arrow to enter.
Su Luo rolled her eyes and fixed them decidedly on Nangong Liuyun. She stared at him coldly and solemnly, yet she did not speak a single word.
Nangong Liuyun stood up from the hot spring pool, completely exposing his slender and youthful body before Su Luo.
Conspicuously messy long hair as pitch black as ink draped over his broad shoulders, dripping rivulets of water droplets. Crimson Cornelian cherries decorated that refined white porcelain-like chest. Broad shoulders, narrow buttocks and a pair of straight and slender legs drew a perfect outline, tempting others to sin. He was so captivating that it was almost criminal.
His unique and incomparable face bore an enticing smile that could only have been made by heaven and beautiful profoundly mysterious eyes as pitch-black as an abyss. When these orbs gazed into Su Luo's eyes, they were filled with intense tenderness that was hard to describe. It was completely intoxicating. He caressed her white and porcelain-like face and with a charmingly deep voice and demonic smile carrying a touch of playfulness, he said. " Are you satisfied with this king's body?"
He had changed the subject!
The corner of Su Luo's mouth perked up into a shallow smile of distinct meaning and lightly pushed away his hands. "What does it have to do with me?"
Nangong Liuyun's expression sunk and become slightly dark. His eyes carried a hint of cold-blooded cruelty. "Luo girl, what are you angry about? This king will give you justice, okay?"
Simply hypocritical!
A taunting and sarcastically cold laugh flashed through Su Luo's eyes.
He clearly knew that the opponent had been aiming for her, but persistently pretended nothing had happened right to her face and tried to mislead her. Did Nangong Liuyun think that she was an idiot? Did he really assume that she could not see that the arrow launched through the window had been shot at her? Did he mistakenly deem her as a good-for-nothing that understood nothing?
Who was he protecting? Who was he defending? Did he really believe that she knew nothing?
"Nangong Liuyun, right now I won't look into this because I don't have the ability. However, don't you dare go overboard with bullying me!" Su Luo did not want to be entangled with this issue.
He could protect that person without distinguishing between right and wrong, but he should not assume an adoring manner in front of her to lure her in.
Nangong Liuyun's complexion momentarily darkened and although those eyes contained a callus and stern expression, they could not conceal that passing flash of doting. Why couldn't his Luo girl just be slightly stupid, a little less intelligence would be good?
"Luo Luo, do you trust me?" They were tender and soft words that though cruel, carried a hard to describe hopefulness.
Nangong Liuyun stared at Su Luo, his deep and bottomless eyes contained so many words he wanted to say but couldn't.
Nangong Liuyun knew this proud and independent woman in front of his eyes was strong. She was proud and aloof. She clearly distinguished between love and hate with a non-sentimental cold-bloodedness. She was intelligent, wise, and farsighted. She had thorough and careful observation skills. Her pair of eyes shone too brightly, as if she could see through to a person's heart. All secrets in front of her would be exposed.
Su Luo looked at Nangong Liuyun. His pair of bright eyes revealed too much, too much information, almost too much for her to bear.
He treated the Jade Lake Fairy with such an indulgent, doting manner. Did he truly love her or was there a hidden reason?
Everybody had a right to their own secrets.
He did not explain and she did not ask.
Hidden in Su Luo's eyes was a flash of pride. "You want me to believe you? Keep working hard."
This lady's trust, how could it be given to just anybody?
Hearing that, Nangong Liuyun was surprised momentarily. An instant later, he gave a hearty laugh and looked extremely pleased. "Good, good. This king will continue working hard, you just wait and see."
After the incident that had previously occurred, his Luo girl did not flatly refuse him. She had given him some leeway. This was excellent, it was very good.
After Nangong Liuyun and Su Luo had stayed at the hot springs for ten days, they headed towards the Capital.
The Capital.
Due to being delayed by the incident with Nangong Liuyun, Su Luo still had not returned home. However, Liu Ruohua had already arrived back at the Capital.
Liu Ruohua's team had been completely annihilated and she had also lost an arm. This made Liu ChengXiang particularly angry.
Liu Ruohua told her father everything. After she mentioned what had happened with His Highness Prince Jin, Liu ChengXiang's face turned ugly. His eyes flickered and were unsettled.
Finally, with a pale face, he commanded, "His Highness Prince Jin is cunning and unfathomable. If he takes action to help, it's out of friendship. When he doesn't take action, then that's to be expected as that is his normal behavior. Even if you bring the issue right in front of His Highness's face, it would still get the same response. Forget it, go back and sequester yourself at home. From now on, be good and stay at home. Don't go out and cause trouble."
When Liu ChangXiang's eyes landed on Liu Ruohua's cut-off arm, his eyes flashed with a cold, cruel look.
Losing that arm, how could she still marry into the royal family? This daughter...has already been abandoned by him.
In the manor, Liu Ruohua who had lost all future prospects began a life of being bullied by her sisters. Living through such days was driving her mad. Her originally troublesome heart grew angrier by the day.
When Liu Ruohua remembered that the person beside His Highness Prince Jin was Su Luo, it made her missing limb ache with jealousy!
Su Luo, if I can't enjoy good days anymore, you had better not dare to think about living well! If I'm going to hell, I'll drag everybody along with me!
That same day, Liu Ruohua made an appointment with Su Xi. She thought to inform Su Xi about Su Luo and His Highness Prince Jin's relationship.
However, Su Xi had been sent away by her school to learn through experience. Therefore, it was Su Wan, the third Miss from Su family, that arrived at the restaurant.
Liu Ruohua did not beat around the brush and got straight to the point. "Su Wan, has your family's Su Luo returned home yet?"
Su Wan felt this was a strange question. Su Luo clearly was grounded at home and not allowed to set foot outside. How could she return when she had never left?
Just mentioning Su Luo, Su Wan wanted to grind her teeth.
Last time, it was clearly Su Luo who injured her. In the end, her own father did not take her side. He had even grounded her along with Su Luo. If not for her past few days of good behavior, it would be hard to say whether or not she would have been grounded for the entire three months.
Su Wan only coldly smiled. "Miss Liu, your words are laughable. My family's fourth little sister behaved improperly and was grounded as punishment by our father. Unless three to five months have passed, it would be impossible for her to leave home. Where could she have come back from?"
Liu Ruohua heard what was said and immediately became stumped. She stared blankly at Su Wan. Suddenly, Liu Ruohua's eyes glistened radiantly. She excitedly grabbed Su Wan's hands, then urgently and loudly asked. "Is what you have said the truth? Su Luo really was grounded by the Great General Su?!"
Liu Ruohua, with her entire body trembling continuously, had stood up in excitement. When Su Wan saw this, she felt that this situation was exceedingly strange, so for a period of time could not reply.
Liu Ruohua was so anxious that she had started to stamp her feet. "Reply quickly! Was Su Luo really grounded by the Great General Su? Is this true?"
