Chapter 256 – Prince Jin’s Royal Manor (7)
Not waiting for Su Luo to answer, Nangong Liuyun chuckled roguishly again as he leaned close to Su Luo’s ears and leisurely exhaled a breath before he added another sentence: “Or else, this king can warm your bed as an apology instead?”
Su Luo’s small face reddened as she glowered at him: “Nangong Liuyun, is it even possible for you to be more shameless?”
As expected, Nangong Liuyun laughed even more shamelessly.
He bewitchingly hooked up the corners of his mouth as he reached out a hand to brush the tip of Su Luo’s nose.
The corners of his phoenix eyes raised slightly: “You prefer being on top?
This king can also lower his pride a little and voluntarily lie down for you, yes?”
This person was certainly shameless to an extreme!
There was simply no limit!
If she had a contest with him of who was more thick-skinned, she herself would definitely be the loser.
Once Su Luo realized the situation, she resolutely decided to change the topic.
She pulled a bathrobe from the rack and threw it fiercely at his face.
She raised her brow and coldly said: “Speak only after you’re dressed.
Being His Highness Prince Jin and behaving this way, what kind of scandal would this cause?”
Nangong Liuyun was startled at her words.
After a blank stare, he started to laugh uproariously, while he expressed extreme delight, “Little Luo Luo, don’t you feel that talking this way——is more frank?”
Nangong Liuyun gestured at the situation between them right now.
Nangong Liuyun was undoubtedly naked and the current Su Luo, due to falling into the hot spring pool, was drenched from head to toe.
Her clothes were stuck onto her body, revealing and accentuating all her exquisite curves.
The fifteen year old Su Luo was already displaying some qualities that were worth looking at.
Nangong Liuyun’s pair of charming flirtatious eyes firmly locked onto Su Luo’s.
He imprudently eyed Su Luo’s softly drenched chest and his gaze darkened, a lecherous atmosphere brewed…
This person……
Su Luo regretted that she couldn’t use a single slap to knock him unconscious!
Huffing angrily, Su Luo snatched away the bathrobe in his hands and immediately tightly wrapped herself in it.
The large robe wrapped her entire petite yet fine and delicate body.
Only a very small head and that pair of clear large eyes were exposed, which made her appear rather innocent.
Nangong Liuyun chuckled before he pulled Su Luo and had her sit down beside the pool.
He scooped up water in both hands and gently began to wash her ink-black hair.
Seeing such, Su Luo’s eyes wrinkled.
Being pampered like this felt very unfamiliar, very strange, but also felt rather nice.
His sudden tenderness was a little bit too much for her, but Su Luo did not interrupt his thoughts because she understood Nangong Liuyun.
Everything this man did always had a motive.
As expected, while Nangong Liuyun tenderly washed Su Luo’s soft black hair, his fingers moved in slow, indescribably gentle and meticulous strokes.
The corners of his lips once again curled with devilish severity as he said: “Silly girl, you didn’t even realize that someone had imprinted you, so stupid.”
“Ah?” Su Luo lifted her head and her puzzled eyes met Nangong Liuyun’s pair of heavenly black eyes, she inquired soundlessly.
“Wasn’t it that no matter how you disguised yourself or hid, you were still found by that Liu family’s boy?” A murderous intent flashed across Nangong Liuyun’s eyes, yet the large hand that stroked through her hair was still exceedingly gentle.
“You knew?” Su Luo was indeed extremely curious.
To be honest, during this whole time, she had been constantly analyzing this problem.
Why was it that regardless of how she disguised herself or hid, Liu Chengfeng could always find her?
This question had indeed perplexed her greatly.
Nangong Liuyun’s large heated palm brushed over her soft white skin as his charming eyes lowered a little and the corners of his lips lifted into a bloodthirsty sneer.
However, his gentle voice bore not a thread of smoke nor fire from his anger: “Silly girl, you don’t even know about tracing imprints, how are you even going to survive on this continent?”
Chapter 257 – Prince Jin’s Royal Manor(8)
There were actually people who dared to put a tracking imprint on his girl!
Good, very good, extremely good.
Even though Nangong Liuyun was smiling, his smiling expression never reached his eyes.
People who understood him knew that at this moment, he was truly angry.
And once His Highness Prince Jin became angry, the consequences would absolutely be exceptionally grave!
“Tracking imprint?
What kind of thing is that?” Su Luo’s head was raised like a curious baby.
In her memories, this kind of high level information indeed didn’t exist.
Nangong Liuyun was tenderly washing her hair, as a grim and murderous expression flashed through his eyes.
However, his voice was still incomparably soft and gentle: “ Tracking imprint ah.
It is a kind of tool, and only a seventh rank or higher expert could make such an imprint mark.”
“Liu Chengfeng’s family had a seventh rank or higher expert?” Su Luo’s heart was slightly startled.
“That they don’t have.
However, this tracking imprint in fact can be purchased at an auction with a lot of gold coins.” Nangong Liuyun’s slender fingers gently wrung her hair dry.
Afterwards, he used a clean embroidered towel to wipe Su Luo’s jet-black long hair, “Do you know where the opponent had placed the tracking imprint?”
A light bulb suddenly lit up in Su Luo’s mind, with a distracted and stunned expression, she pointed to her own hair: “Here?”
Nangong Liuyun indulgently and in a spoiling manner hooked her nose a few times, his eyes were filled with tender sentiments: “You are still not considered very dumb.”
Su Luo helplessly sighed: “It’s no wonder!
It’s no wonder that Liu Chengfeng could dispatch people that followed my trail.
As it turned out, it was because of this.
But since now it’s washed off, would it be fine just like this?”
“That will depend on who is washing it.” Nangong Liuyun’s pair of flowery eyes were giving off soft waves of an intoxicatingly spoiling expression that could drown a person, “If you were to wash it yourself, it would take you until you reach the seventh rank before you can wash it away.”
What?!
At this moment, Su Luo was practically fuming with rage between gritted teeth!
Damn you Liu Chengfeng, you actually planted such a malicious tracking imprint on this lady!
If this lady didn’t reach the seventh rank, if she didn’t have the seventh ranked Nangong Liuyun’s help in washing it off, then even if she was buried under the mud, she would still have been found?
At this moment, with regards to this unknown world, Su Luo had a kind of unprecedented reverence in her heart.
“No need to be afraid, you have this king here.” Nangong Liuyun stood up while speaking, his strong arms bringing her into his embrace.
His eyes were firmly locked onto her, resolutely not allowing her to escape, “With this king present, who dares to not grow eyes and bully you?
Wants to court death?”
Su Luo lightly returned his look, the corner of her mouth rose slightly.
She quietly and coldly said: “I don’t need your borrowed kindness, my own hatred, I will avenge personally.”
The light in Nangong Liuyun’s eyes dimmed for a split second, but very quickly, it once again restored its dazzling luster: “This king actually forgot, You, this girl’s talent is at the pinnacle of the best.
Come over, let this king have a look.
How much progress has this king’s little princess made in her cultivation.”
Before Su Luo could react, her wrist was already being held by him.
She also didn’t know how long Nangong Liuyun was going to test her.
He merely placed his white, jade-like lanky finger on her wrist.
In merely a split second, Nangong Liuyun’s beautiful pair of eyes which used to looking down on the world, became serious, then started blankly as if in complete disbelief….
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
After taking a deep breath, he then fixed his gaze on Su Luo.
His eyes were full of shock: “You…you are already now at the second rank?”
She was not only at second rank, but also at the peak of the second rank.
It was very possible that in the next second, she would break through to the third rank.
This, how could this be possible?
Obviously just half a month ago when they parted, she was still a little good-for-nothing.
She didn’t have a bit of spirit strength back then.
How could there be a person who, in such a short period of half a month, from nothing to having it, from zero, immediately jumping up to the second rank?
Chapter 258 – Prince Jin’s Royal Manor (9)
Even the genius among geniuses, the legendary His Highness Prince Jin, was stunned stupid by Su Luo’s kind of promotion speed.
“In the end, how did you practice?” A touch of astonishment passed through Nangong Liuyun’s normally indifferent gaze.
Even Nangong was surprised by this, so her cultivation speed was really so amazing?
Thinking up to here, Su Luo inevitably became somewhat proud of herself.
She raised an eyebrow, smiled and very innocently said: “Just causally practiced some and was promoted, was it supposed to be very difficult?”
Nangong Liuyun speechlessly patted her head.
A faint tender expression appeared on his face, he let out a sigh: “Exceptional talent is only just like this.
I really want to know, girl once you grow up, what kind of alarming and extraordinarily splendid person you will become.”
Su Luo looked at him with an somewhat inquisitive expression, her beautiful pupils lit up and quickly roamed around: “Don’t tell me my cultivation speed is faster than yours?”
Nangong Liuyun really didn’t want to speak to her anymore.
His poised and noble handsome face had a complex expression.
He finally answered after a long time: “This king cultivated to the second rank using a period of six months.
Still remembered at that time the teacher said that this king’s cultivation speed, since time immemorial, is ranked first.
Now you have smashed this record.”
His straight, ink-black hair gave off a slight gloss.
His body had a faint aromatic fragrance.
He unblinkingly stared at her with a mysterious and bewitchingly hypnotizing gaze that was as bright as the starlight.
Even Nangong used a period of six months before reaching the second rank, she herself merely needed about half a month…the arc at the corner of Su Luo’s mouth started to expand.
It continued to expand until finally she simply couldn’t suppress her happiness anymore and almost let out cheering sounds.
“Bang——” Nangong Liuyun lightly tapped her head, his deep black eyes carried a touch of seriousness and prudence: “Girl, no matter how you did it, but bear in mind, you must followed the right path.
Cultivation is not something that happens overnight and it requires endless years of time.
The further you go, the harder the demons in your heart will be to overcome, do you understand?”
Could it be that Nangong thought she had strayed to the demonic path of cultivation?
In fact, she was clearly practicing the Great Dimensional Imprint given to her by the Venerable divine dragon.
Furthermore, she had matched it with the slowed time in her space to achieve such a fast practice speed.
Su Luo once again stopped her words, should she tell him the matter concerning the Venerable divine dragon?
If she told him, then she might not be able to protect the little divine dragon’s identity…Nangong Liuyun, did he deserve her wholehearted trust?
At this moment…Su Luo hesitated.
Nangong Liuyun’s dazzling star-like eyes dimmed for a split second.
His lazy expression also had a touch of hurt, he vigorously rubbed her head.
His tone was brisk and blithe: “What are you thinking about?
You can be at ease, would this king really covet your cultivation methods?”
“I….” In a split second, Su Luo almost blurted out the words, however suddenly, an incomparably beautiful and delicate face flickered through her head.
That was his childhood sweetheart, his cherished girlfriend that he indulgently pampered.
She really wanted to ask, if she told him, then if one day the Jade Lake’s fairy interrogated him, would he tell her?
In just a split second of time, the words on the tip of Su Luo’s tongue stopped.
She really didn’t want to think a person’s heart would be so sinister, and she also couldn’t bear to use this secret to probe Nangong because it would be too cruel.
She still couldn’t wholeheartedly give her trust to him, ah….Nangong Liuyun turned his head away.
Outside, the warm spring had arrived with flowers blooming, the sunlight was just right.
But he was unable to feel the warmth, this him that was feeling dejected had his mood instantly hit the bottom.
“Nangong…” Taking note that his mood was not good, Su Luo wanted to step forward to comfort him.
“Silly girl, tidy up your things, then you can go out so as to not catch a cold.” Nangong’s pleasant manner was like a temperate cloud and gentle wind as he rubbed her head.
His actions were as gentle as before and his eyes still carried the same indulgent spoiling manner.
However, this made Su Luo’s heart tightly clench in pain.
Chapter 259 – Prince Jin’s Royal Manor (10)
Watching the scene of Nangong Liuyun’s back as he took large strides to walk away, Su Luo’s hands clenched tightly into fists.
She knew, her split second of hesitation hurt him.
However, was she wrong?
If Nangong Liuyun was simply Nangong Liuyun, based on him protecting her and her trust in him,there shouldn’t be a lot of misunderstandings and doubt between them.
However, in reality, facts weren’t always that simple.
At least from what she knew, that Jade Lake’s fairy could influence Nangong Liuyun…Even though he knew the other party sent people to chase after her to kill her, he was still able to fool her without changing his expression.
This kind of him, how could he ask her to bet all her trust on him?
She could believe him, but she could not guarantee her secrets between Nangong Liuyun and the Jade Lake’s fairy.
Therefore, in order to protect herself, she hold to fast to her secret.
This way, she wasn’t wrong…
She shouldn’t have done something wrong right?
The great bathing hall had a dense mist with rising steam.
Taking into account Su Luo’s current mood, the dense layers of mist confused her and she couldn’t find a way out.
Since her fake identity was already unmasked by Nangong, she didn’t need to act as a fawning lowly servant again.
Now, there was have no need for her to stay at Prince Jin’s Royal Manor.
Su Luo shook her head to wake herself up, afterwards, she began to tidy up her own clothing.
Here, there weren’t any women’s clothing, just Nangong Liuyun’s spacious embroidered robe.
No choice, Su Luo could only wear his clothes for now.
The clothes were made from the highest quality of heavenly silk.
It was extremely soft and silky.
Furthermore, it contained a little of the warmth that belonged only to him.
Su Luo felt somewhat uncomfortable, but since the situation that appeared now was like this, so she could only leave it as it is.
After she put on a hat, Su Luo directly walked towards the exit.
However, before she could walk out of Nangong Liuyun’s Manor, she was stopped by the people at the gate.
At the manor gate, stood a row of armored guards.
Every one of them had a dense cold and harsh expression, giving off a powerful deterrent force.
“Miss, please stop.” The chief guard among them said coldly with a solemn expression.
“I want to go out now.” Su Luo frowned, why could she not go out?
Who set up this rule?
Daring to directly say His Highness Prince Jin’s real name that was a taboo?
The chief guard stared at Su Luo with alarm and trepidation.
His face revealed nothing but merely blocked her path: “ Without His Highness’s orders, people without tasks and such are not allowed to come and go from the manor as they please.
Please, Miss Su, don’t make things difficult for us.”
Su Luo smiled: “ Didn’t I, a person without anything to do, just come in?
Now I want to go out, please step aside.
I don’t want to make things difficult for you people.”
The chief guard’s face was grave, not tolerant of any haggling: “Without His Highness’s written order, nobody could come and go as they please.
Miss Su, you had better go back.
If you insist on going out, then you only need to get His Highness’s written order.”
If she could get Nangong Liuyun’s written order, then why would she come here to try her luck?
Simpleton!
Su Luo secretly grinded her teeth!
When she entered, she was disguised as a lowly manservant, now going out, she had changed back to her real appearance.
If it weren’t for Nangong Liuyun letting them know earlier, how could the chief guard recognize her?
And to still say this wasn’t a sly plot by Nangong Liuyun?
“If I insist on leaving, will you people use force?” Su Luo glowered at them coldly.
“Then we could only offend, we will personally knock you unconscious and drag you back to deliver you to His Highness Prince Jin.” The chief guard lowered his eyes but responded matter-of-factly.
Moreover, his attitude appeared to be very firm.
Knocked unconscious, then dragged back to be handed to his Highness Prince Jin?
Su Luo was so furious she made a fist!
Without strength, then she couldn’t be firm!
Even such a small captain of the guard could firmly say out loud to knock her unconscious, such disgraceful words!
Su Luo pointed at them, practically fuming with rage between gritted teeth: “Don’t you people know, you must never casually offend a woman!”
“Don’t know!” The guards said in unison!
Su Luo almost fell over!
Chapter 260- Prince Jin’s Royal Manor (11)
Nangong Liuyun, this debt, I will carefully calculate for you.
Su Luo bit down on her teeth, with an expression like she was on the verge of exploding.
After asking a servant, she found out that Nangong Liuyun was in the dining hall.
Su Luo walked directly towards the hall.
When Nangong Liuyun saw Su Luo, the corner of his mouth was curved into a demonically enchanting smiling expression, and he briskly beckoned with his hand: “Little Luo Luo, quickly come over here.
Coming early is not as good as coming here in a timely manner, you came just in time.”
Su Luo stood firmly in front of him and indifferently cast a glance at him.
Nangong Liuyun appeared not to be aware of Su Luo’s anger.
He seemed to be in a cheerful mood as he pulled her over, pressing the taciturn her to sit down on a chair made from red sandalwood.
He spoke to the respectful servant standing on the side: “This king’s little Luo Luo is hungry, why have the dishes not been served yet?”
Faced with Nangong Liuyun’s enthusiasm, Su Luo seemed to be speechless.
This man was really strange, before, he was coldly scowling at her in the bathing chamber until they finally parted on bad terms.
He had a sad expression back then, but now it seemed as if that had never happened.
All the servants standing on the side had an incredulous expression as they looked at their master, His Highness.
Their gazes clearly expressed how unimaginable they found the situation, to the point that they almost didn’t hear Nangong Liuyun’s order.
“Why haven’t you quickly left?” Nangong Liuyun’s voice was clear and moderate, but it had a slightly furious might that was powerfully threatening.
The servants looked at each other in dismay with terrified expressions.
They nervously and tensely withdrew to bring the dishes without delay.
It was also no wonder they would forget themselves in this way.
After all, they had served His Highness in Prince Jin’s Royal Manor for more than ten years.
They had never seen His Highness treat someone this enthusiastically.
He was so enthusiastic that he had lowered his tone to seem almost humble.
Moreover, he was treating a woman this way.
Prince Jin’s Royal Manor had always prevented women from entering.
Even Her Highness the Princess would wait at the manor’s door, not daring to take half a step into the door.
However… now, they unexpectedly saw a woman sit at the same table as His Highness.
Moreover, His Highness was actually unexpectedly also coaxing her!
Was this still His Highness Prince Jin, the one they respected as a god from the ninth layers of heaven?
Su Luo wasn’t aware of her special treatment in Prince Jin’s Royal Manor.
She also wasn’t aware that the servants looked at her with an expression as if watching an immortal fairy.
She only felt that she was almost about to be infuriated to death by Nangong Liuyun.
What was the matter with this guy?
Why was he incessantly picking up various foods and putting them into her bowl?
“Okay, okay, quickly eat your own food.
The stuff in my bowl have almost piled up into a small mountain.” Su Luo had no alternative but to shield the bowl in front of her and resentfully glare at Nangong Liuyun, “Nangong Liuyun, do you want to fatten me to death?”
The circle of servants standing on the side, without exception, inhaled a breath of cold air…Had this young lady lost her mind?
She actually dared to speak like this to His Highness?
They sympathetically closed their eyes.
They were able to forecast that afterwards, on top of the table, it was sure to change into purgatory, it would be covered with a river of blood…
Because His Highness would absolutely, never ever, tolerate someone angrily rebuking him.
People still remembered the last time in the imperial palace, Marquis An family’s third Miss, because she admired His Highness, had said a few extra words in front of His Highness when he was eating.
That pitiful Miss was sent directly flying by one palm strike from His Highness and spit out blood on the spot.
Afterwards, she took three full months to heal from her internal injuries.
However, what made them all taken aback was——
In their eyes, the callous and heartless His Highness Prince Jin, who was like Asura from hell, he-he was actually smiling in a devilishly charming manner non-stop.
Moreover he-he actually took the opportunity to lean in close to that young lady.
His hand which was as fine as white jade lifted up her clean and fair tapered chin.
His gaze was filled with an intoxicating gentle feelings with a touch of seductiveness when looking at her.
Seductive, a touch of seductiveness…even though using these kind of words to describe His Highness’s expression seemed to be odd,however in fact, there didn’t seem to be another word that would be a better fit.
