THE DEMONIC KING CHASES HIS WIFE: THE REBELLIOUS GOOD-FOR-NOTHING MISS [1]

261-280

Chapter 261 - Prince Jin's Royal Manor (12)

Moreover, their Highness Prince Jin actually used that sort of tempting and coaxing tone, a soft, misty rain-like voice, to speak: "Luo Luo, be obedient, you are so thin, eating a bit more will help you grow up faster."

Heaven, heaven, heavens, ah....The circle of servants collectively hyperventilated. They were simply in chaos at his manner.

Was this still that unwavering killer that cut down everyone, killing people as if cutting up vegetables, His Highness who, due to a brief disagreeable remark, would be fond of cutting off a hand or foot, that Prince Jin? Who had possessed the body of their family's Highness?

This was simply too, too terrifying!

However, the present Nangong Liuyu,n as far as Su Luo was concerned, was someone she was best familiar with.

Because all along, in front of her, Nangong Liuyun had always been in this frivolous, devilishly charming and alluring mode. Therefore, she was not even a bit unable to adapt to this.

Su Luo single-handedly pried off his finely jointed finger, and angrily shot him a glare: "When eating, you should eat it properly, stop groping around, you don't even understand even a little bit of the rules."

Once these words were spoken, Nangong Liuyun didn't seen to have any reaction, but the circle of servants were all scared silly.

They simply could not imagine that in this world, the Miss in front of their eyes would dare to rush forward to throw away her life. How could she dare to speak those words to His Highness? She deserved the greatest praise for courage and she was too incomparably brave!

They deeply sympathized with the bitter experience Su Luo was about to suffer.

How-however, they were astonished again!

Their family's Highness unexpectedly wasn't angry. Not only was he not angry, but instead, he openly started to laugh heartily. He was laughing so hard that his body started to rock back and forth.

Once he finished laughing, wouldn't he execute the punishment?

Nope, he didn't, their Highness not only didn't penalize this Miss, but he was actually pleased as a punch and hugged her. He was continuously trying to exploit any chance to get closer to her, the more that Miss tried to resist, the more enthusiastic he became. The style was simply like that of a lecher.

Finished, finished, His Highness's body was definitely possessed... If it were not so, then this Miss would have already died eight to ten times. Then, how could she still be sitting at the dining table eating her meal?

No matter how shocked, incredulous and mind-boggled the servants were, Nangong Liuyun was just like so, forcing Su Luo to swallow down that enormous bowl of food.

Su Luo, without much choice, was finally able to put down her bowl and chopsticks. Her cold gaze looked straight at Nangong Liuyun: "Okay, now that I have also eaten a meal, shouldn't you let me return to my manor?"

She had already come out for a while now, if she returned too late, she couldn't guess what other things might happen in the manor. Su Qing and Su Xi were both covetously watching her courtyard.

Nangong Liuyun calmly placed a hand on the table, slanted his head, and faintly smilingly glanced at her: "Little Luo Luo, you really want to go back?"

"What do you mean?" Su Luo's expression tightened.

Nangong Liuyun's perfectly composed expression while watching Su Luo made her heart feel somewhat scared.

Nangong Liuyun's brows knotted, then a smile appeared on his handsome face and opening his arms, his hands beckoned towards Su Luo.

Su Luo suspiciously threw a glance at him, but couldn't contain the curiosity in her heart. She took a few small steps to walk towards him until she stood firmly in front of him, and said with a frown: "If you have something to say, say it. Don't be so mysterious and secretive."

Able to use this kind of tone and attitude to speak to His Highness Prince Jin, in the entire world, there was only one person, Su Luo.

Only Su Luo herself didn't know it.

Nangong Liuyun didn't seem to mind the tiniest bit with regards to Su Luo's attitude. He stretched out his hand and with one pull, encircled Su Luo in his embrace. When Su Luo started to struggle, he was unruffled and calmly said one sentence: "Little Luo Luo, based on your intelligence, could it be that you have never thought about the current situation?"

Chapter 262 - Prince Jin's Royal Manor (13)

"Situation?" Su Luo frowned and didn't speak further.

"Okay, put yourself in his shoes and think it over. If you were that despicable boy from the Liu family, right, what would you do afterwards?" Nangong Liuyun's warm and heated breath puffed out near Su Luo's sensitive ear, messing with Su Luo until she started to itch from the bottom of her heart.

Su Luo pushed that handsome face far, far away, and lowered her head to start pondering this deeply.

If she was Liu Chengfeng, since he had set down such a huge capital to track her, then he definitely wouldn't give up so easily. Since he had clearly followed the other party along and knew that she had entered Prince Jin's Royal Manor, then....

Su Luo suddenly lifted her head, unaware that Nangong Liuyun was in the process of moving closer to her.

The 'bang' sound rang loudly.

Su Luo's forehead hit Nangong Liuyun's nose, it became so sore that the rim of his eyes was slightly red.

Su Luo's heart was remorseful, feeling embarrassed, she helped him massage his nose: "You...nothing wrong right? Is it serious?"

Seldom would she get to see Nangong Liuyun suffer defeat in front of her. On her face, her expression was worried, but her heart was already flipping over in laughter.

"It's important, very important! It's serious, very serious!" Nangong covered his nose and swept a glance at her with a plaintive expression.

Hearing this, Su Luo rightfully smiled coldly. She never thought that His Highness Prince Jin would act like a child and throw a tantrum. It was indeed really amusing.

She was seldom in such a good mood, so she used a happy voice to coax him: "Then you say, what should we do?"

"Help me blow on it." Nangong Liuyun wrinkled his brows, pointed to his red and swollen nose.

Just a moment ago, when she saw the nose, it wasn't this red, pretend, pretend, continue pretending. Su Luo very disdainfully swept a glance at him and said: "Is His Highness Prince Jin still a child? You actually believe this stuff? Just blowing on it and it would heal?"

Really naive just like a little kid, wasn't he afraid that people would laugh at him.

Sure enough, that circle of servants, each and every one of them had bowed their head with eyes lowered, their faces were red from restraining their laughter.

With one sweep of His Highness Prince Jin's eyes, immediately, it was as if the hottest days of summer were covered with snow and frost. Their expressions all of sudden became frozen stiff. Every one of their heads lowered in shame, an appearance of being stiff and not daring to move. They didn't even dare to breathe.

Supreme dominance! Power was authority! Su Luo silently cursed in her heart, she sincerely sympathized with the servants standing on the side. To have to wait upon His Highness who was Satan-like, with temperamental and indeterminate gloomy mood swings. Weren't their toil way too hard?

Unexpectedly, when Nangong LIuyun turned his head towards her, he looked lost with a pitiful expression. He accusingly looked at her: "Painful, it really is very painful!"

Such a childish manner! Su Luo bit down on her teeth, she really wanted to shake off this pretending-to-be-adorable His Highness Prince Jin. However, once her eyes met that pair of limpid, misty and lovely pair of eyes, she was defeated in a moment.

"Okay! Help you blow on it, I'll help you blow on it!" Su Luo distastefully cast him a glance, with one hand pulling his hand away from his nose. She stooped down, took a deep breath and blew on his nose.

She perfunctorily blew on his nose two times, then with one hand, she pushed him away and bluntly stood up saying: "Is it okay now?"

"You are not taking responsibility." Nangong Liuyun had an accusing expression while covering his nose. When he said this, his posture was like that of a spoiled child.

"How am I not being responsible?" Su Luo had an expression full of misgivings.

Nangong Liuyun really did immediately sit down, looking at Su Luo: "Shouldn't you be cupping the other's face, speaking softly and comforting me? Afterwards, shouldn't you tenderly and softly blow on it?"

This kind of Nangong Liuyun really made her feel like wanting to weep but lacking the tears. Su Luo let out a loud yell: "You really have too many requests!"

Nanong Liuyun's face had an innocent expression, half-reclining on the chair made of red sandalwood. He glanced at Su Luo and leisurely said: "The other stuff, I won't demand it from you. However, you should at least blow on it a few more times, right? This is the most basic thing and you weren't able to complete it."

When he said this, he actually had an appearance of being somewhat wronged.

Chapter 263 - Prince Jin's Royal Manor (14)

The veins on Su Luo's forehead were about to explode! She tightly clenched her fists, and glared at him furiously. She simply gave up on talking sense into this evildoer!

"Why must it be me who does it? The last thing you lack at your residence are servants. In all likelihood, just one command from His Highness Prince Jin and an innumerable number of servants would crawl to wait upon him!" Su Luo sent a glare his way while speaking the truth.

Nangong Liuyun's serene and unperturbed gaze swept the circle of servants whose heads were bowed from embarrassment. Just a light, casual sweeping glance.

However, as far as the surrounding servants were concerned, His Highness Prince Jin's faint glance immediately gave them the feeling of an icy autumn gale sweeping away the fallen leaves, it was harsh and desolate.

"Highness, His Highness...We will first, first take our leave." The circle of servants all kneeled with respect and trepidation. Their entire body was trembling in fear and anxiety.

"Uhm." Nangong Liuyun had one hand raised to his forehead, and lightly hummed, seemingly in answer.

"Hey, don't you guys leave so urgently." Su Luo watched helplessly. When these servants left, then wouldn't Nangong Liuyun be even more intent on wanting a mile when given an inch?

However, Su Luo's voice to these servants was like a sign pressuring them to continue. At the beginning they were still walking, when Su Luo spoke, then practically all of them ran. In a split second, all of them disappeared without a trace.

Seeing this, Su Luo simply wanted to cry but had no tears. She said to Nangong Liuyun with a dumbfounded expression: "Does every one of your servants know the martial arts move Ling Bo Wei Bu (1)?"

It was simply too fast.

"Fleeing for one's life at the critical juncture, their potential would naturally be unlimited." Nangong Liuyun lightly snorted, and once again changed the subject, "Come here, beg for forgiveness for yourself."

"Nangong Liuyun, you better not push your luck." Su Luo stood determinedly at a distance and glared at him in displeasure.

Nangong Liuyun's eyes drooped down, after a long time, it once again silently lifted up to glance at Su Luo: "Others say that having benefited from someone's small favors, it should be doubly repaid. Why don't you consider it as repaying a small favor?"

She couldn't bear his faint sigh and dejected manner. Su Luo conceded defeat and slowly walked to in front of him, softly asking: "In the end what do you really want?"

Actually, what he said was right, when she hid under his horse carriage, indeed, she really ought to thank him. If it weren't for him showing up just in time by chance, she wouldn't have escaped Liu Chengfeng's pursuit, because of the tracking imprint he had placed on her.

Nangong Liuyun raised his head to look at her, his tone had a touch of a spoiled child throwing a tantrum: "Tonight, you should stay and keep me company."

This man was truly reaching for the mile when given an inch. He would seize such a small favor to coerce her. He had also made the use of coercion seem so righteous and proper.

However, how could she agree to stay behind? This promise would represent her making a certain degree of concession.

Her staying overnight at Prince Jin's Royal Manor, if it were to be spread out by other people, then how would they view this? What would people think about this? How could she get back her innocence? In the future, how could she righteously and confidently pursue her own happiness?

Therefore, faced with his request, she didn't say a word.

"Stay behind to keep me company." He repeated again.

"This matter, I'm afraid, is not possible." Su Luo softly replied, her gaze steadily fixed on his.

Nangong Liuyun didn't speak. Suddenly, after quite a while, the corner of his mouth pulled slightly apart and he started to smile in a devilishly charming manner: "Foolish Luo Luo, you are simply too slow-witted. Without this king's consent, how could you leave this royal manor?"

After all, his soft manner and humble air, pretending to be pitiful and cutely beseeching her just a moment ago, it was merely just one type of tactic. The thing he set his mind to and the person he was determined to have, he would never let go.

"Nangong Liuyun, you are shameless." Su Luo naturally knew of this point. It was not like she hadn't tried to go out. She simply could not exit the gate of even the Qin Palace section of the manor, she had been immediately blocked at the gate.

"Shameless huh? This king could even be a little more shameless, do you want to experience it?" Nangong Liuyun had a proud expression on his face, while smilingly watching her.

Chapter 264 - Prince Jin's Royal Manor (15)

"Don't get ahead of yourself." Su Luo furiously glared at him.

"Obedient Luo Luo, don't be angry. In fact, you have also thought that Liu Chengfeng has surely sent a countless number of people to hide by my manor's gate to wait for you. Little Luo Luo, once you go out, you will walk into a trap. My family's little Luo Luo wouldn't be that dumb right?" Nangong Liuyun had both hands crossed in front of his chest, with a sinister smile on his face.

"If Your Highness Prince Jin were to issue a few words, how could Liu Chengfeng dare not withdraw his people?" Su Luo grinded her teeth and coldly responded.

Nangong Liuyun innocently shrugged his shoulders with his arms open and hands facing up, and he obstinately shook his head: "Foolish Luo Luo, one favor after another, you still haven't repaid my kindness yet. How could this king continue to do more favors for you? If there are too many favors, then you will have to repay them with your flesh. This wouldn't be fair to you."

This man didn't seen to have any limit! Su Luo made a fist while being speechless: "What you said is right, too many favors are indeed hard to pay back."

Nangong Liuyun gracefully nodded his head, replying as if it was only logical: "Yes, therefore tonight, you should first return some interest."

Su Luo speechlessly asked: "How do you want to be repaid?"

Nangong Liuyun suddenly started to smile in a devilishly charming manner, his smile could enchant all living things, "Obedient Luo Luo, this I have to ask you. How much are you prepared to pay back? Repay only the interest? Repay the capital amount? Or pay back both the capital and interest together?"

Su Luo was still speechless. She never thought that his head would have so many tricky twists and turns. She glared directly at him: "How to pay back the interest? How to pay back the capital? And also what methods should be used use to repay both the capital and interest?"

Nangong Liuyun's eyes drooped down halfway and leisurely said: "This, there are many details to pay attention to. However tonight, this king will explain it to you one at a time. You shouldn't be so impatient, we have plenty of time."

Who was impatient! Su Luo swept him a very despising glance and said: "Your thinking had better be a bit purer!"

In fact, this sentence was full of many meanings, it also made her attitude very clear.

Tonight, she really had to stay here.

Without Nangong Liuyun's order, she really couldn't leave Prince Jin's Royal Manor. Even if she was able to leave Prince Jin's Royal Manor, she still didn't know how dangerous it was outside of the manor.

Only, tonight was doomed to not be peaceful.

Su Luo had already been somewhat mentally prepared, but the final development in this matter had gone beyond her expectations.

Night.

The sky appeared as if draped in a black layer of light muslin. In the lonely sky hung a few remnant stars, giving off a dim and bleak luster.

Su Luo came to her senses from her contemplation, glancing at the color of the sky, she discovered it was pretty late.

"Where is my room?" Su Luo asked with a frown after pulling a maid who was hurriedly passing by to a stop.

Half of the night had already passed, and yet no one had come to inform her where she should sleep tonight. Su Luo's expression said she couldn't understand this.

When that maid heard the question, her body immediately jumped and she was alarmed. At once, she kneeled down and begged for forgiveness: "Young-young lady, this matter, this servant doesn't know. You should go and ask His Highness yourself. I beg you, beg you to spare this servant..."

Was her appearance that scary? Why was it that when the servant saw her, it was as if she had seen a ghost?

Su Luo somewhat dumbfoundedly touched her own delicate and beautiful cheeks. This face ought to be quite pretty. Once she grew up a bit, she ought to be a complete, devastatingly beautiful little belle.

However, the maid kneeling on the ground continuously begged for forgiveness. She was beseeching Su Luo to let her go.

Su Luo was simply out of ideas and bluntly said: "Okay, okay, tell me where your family's Highness is, I will go ask him myself."

"His Highness is at a bedroom in the Qin Palace courtyard." The maid very carefully said.

"Fine, you can go now." Su Luo waved her hand and sent the maid away.

In Prince Jin's Royal Manor for a brief half day period, Su Luo didn't discover anything else, but she found that the reverence of the servants here for His Highness Prince Jin came from the bottom of their hearts.

Chapter 265 - Romance in Prince Jin's Manor (1)

Each and every one of them kept quiet out of fear in front of Nangong Liuyun. They were even afraid to breathe out loud, simply trembling and shivering as if having caught sight of Yama, the king of hell.

Su Luo was somewhat bewildered, although Nangong Liuyun, this person, despised following convention sometimes, and acted like a hooligan other times, why would the servants be scared of him this much?

Su Luo remained perplexed as she continued to ponder this while walking. Very soon, she arrived at his bedroom.

Su Luo noiselessly pushed open the door and looked inside.

Presently, Nangong Liuyun had his hands behind his back and was standing quietly in front of the window that had been pushed open. His pair of black eyes was looking out at the horizon which was sparsely populated with remnant stars.

His gorgeous soft robe was made of golden silk embroidered with pretty and flirtatious flowers of north India. His jet-black, silky, soft hair flowed down, carrying a kind of refined, wild and rashness manner that was the ultimate in attractiveness. His face which was slanted to the side was perfection, like an ancient Greek sculpture of an exquisite god, flirtatious and threatening.

Hearing a noise, he unhurriedly turned his head. A pair of black eyes full of smiles looked at Su Luo.

His smile was as gorgeous and dazzling as the blooming cherry blossoms in March.

At this time, Su Luo only felt her own heart skip a beat, a kind of unprecedented exotic feeling made her chest area closest to her heart become limp and numb. Her pulse started to speed up and was hard to control.

"Come here." Nangong Liuyun gracefully crooked his finger towards Su Luo, every movement of his was pronounced, respectable, and intense.

Su Luo merely looked at him, not speaking, but also not moving.

Nangong Liuyun cast a bantering glance towards her: "Dilly-dallying, what, afraid?"

Su Luo raised an eyebrow, glaring at him: "What's there to be afraid of? Why should I be afraid? Do you look very frightening?"

Nangong Liuyun's body turned around and moved, in the blink of an eye, Su Luo had already landed in his embrace. He lowered his head and looked at her, his indolent and deep voice, in the tranquil night, had a thread of deep huskiness: "Yeah, this king's Luo Luo is the bravest. How could you be scared?" .

While he was speaking, he used his slender finger to caress her fair and tender cheeks which were like water.

"Speak properly, don't get fresh with me." Su Luo threw him an annoyed glance.

Nangong Liuyun's eyebrow rose slightly, his glance was deep, flirtatious and moving: "We can talk on one hand while touching each other on the other hand, it doesn't hinder anything. Little Luo Luo, what are you being so bashful about?"

Su Luo only felt that surrounding her body was a male smell that was distinctively his. The breath she inhaled into her lungs all had his smell. Her face was slightly red, she pushed him away with one shove. Her face became serious and firm as she said: "Nangong Liuyun, don't change the subject. I want to ask you, since you forced me to remain behind, where should I sleep tonight?"

A touch of doubt flashed through his beautiful eyes, afterwards, as if it was right and expected, he said: "Foolish Luo Luo, do you really need to ask this question? Naturally, you would be sleeping here."

Su Luo felt her breath being stifled in her throat, and her eyes started to narrow dangerously. She glared at Nangong Liuyun, saying and emphasizing each word: "What. Did. You. Just. Say?"

Nangong Liuyun fluidly and gracefully moved to pour two cups of amber-colored red wine, with his eyes drooping down, he leisurely swirled the wine.

"Nangong Liuyun, clearly tell it to me!" Su Luo was a little flustered and exasperated as she let out a snort. She was forced by circumstances to remain behind. However, this did not mean she would sleep in the same room with him!

Nangong Liuyun's drooping eyebrow rose slightly. His serene and flowing eyes secretly stared at Su Luo. The corner of his mouth, little by little, stretched into a smile that was seductive and moving. It was also as noble as the gods.

"Humph! Not going to tell me clearly huh? Then I will leave right now." Su Luo, panting with rage, turned around and was just about to leave.

However, she had barely passed by Nangong Liuyun's side before her arm was pulled to a stop by him.

Nangong Liuyun raised his head, his sexy throat moved, in one mouthful, he swallowed the amber-colored red wine.

When he was drinking the wine, his pair of deep black eyes was continuously giving off a burning light that was motionlessly fixed on Su Luo.

Chapter 266 - Romance in Prince Jin's Manor (2)

At the corner of his bright red lips, a dark red droplet was rolling down. He immediately gave her the impression of being devilishly charming, alluring but also brutal, savage and bloodthirsty. He also gave off a sensation of a blood-sucking, noble vampire from the Middle Ages who was handsome, elegant and seductive.

Nangong Liuyun in this state was handsome beyond compare, luring people to simply commit a major crime of passion.

"Let go!" Meeting with a wolf-like, coarse and wild gaze that was fixed on her, Su Luo's heart was inevitably a little frenetic. Her body's natural instinct for danger made her want to turn around and flee. Trying to escape far away from his control.

However, before she could shake off Nangong Liuyun, the opposing party took unfair advantage of her proximity and advanced.

His arm was like an iron clamp, unyielding and powerful, firmly stopping her and holding on to her slender waist.

A magnified, large handsome face appeared in front of her.

His slightly narrowed phoenix eyes with hidden depths were like the undisturbed sea. Once again, wind appeared to give rise to large waves in them, emitting a disdain for the world that was overbearing and tyrannical.

"Nangong..." This kind of meaningful expression would simply startle people's hearts. Su Luo had spoken just two words, before he bent down and seized the corner of her soft lips.

Now he was like a bold and powerful cheetah from an African prairie, erotic, coarse and wild. He fiercely nibbled and bit at his own most beloved prey.

He transferred a full mouthful of red wine to Su Luo. The sudden assault of the wine choked her until she coughed. She started to struggle as if her life depended on it.

Nangong Liuyun's strong and powerful large palm suddenly imprisoned her into his chest. The other large palm was holding the back of her head. From top to bottom confining her in place, making Su Luo's struggle and resistance to no avail.

The feverish kiss that was earth-shattering, was also tyrannical and emphatic, not allowing refusal.

Their lips and tongues intertwined, charming, romantic and natural.

His kiss was incomparably overbearing, strategically besieging the inside of her mouth, pressing on her until there was nowhere to flee to. She had no choice and was forced to respond to his passion.

The surroundings were silent and quiet. An ambiguous aura burst forth into the sky of the desolate night.

The faint, warm, summer grass smell that was distinctively from Nangong Liuyun's body drew near her nose, carrying an opium-like, sinfully strong allure, making her entire spirit tremble.

At this time.

Su Luo's mind was completely blank, she forgot to resist and lost all rational thoughts. She lost herself and practically lost all control, becoming intoxicated with the tender, homey feeling he wove. She sank deeply into it and could not free herself.

Nangong Liuyun's coarse, wild and overbearing gale-like stormy kiss began to calm down. It softened and became a breeze-like drizzle that was soft and silky. It was also as gentle as the touch of a dragonfly skimming the water's surface.

As if a long, long time had passed.

Only then did Nangong Liuyun reluctantly leave the corner of her lips that made people want to commit a crime. Only his pair of large hands was still tenderly cupping her very small cheeks. He was earnestly and carefully staring at her. That pair of demonically charming, red-rimmed phoenix eyes blurred in passing for a split second.

The surrounding were quiet.

There was only the sound of their slightly chaotic gasps for breath.

The bright moonlight cast a disproportionate shadow on the ground. The wind outside the window blew gently. Now, inside the room, there was a strange, flirtatious feeling of the calm before the storm.

No one was willing to break this quiet mood.

"You...went too far!" Su Luo angrily uttered in rebuke with a displeased expression of having been violated.

Originally, she thought her voice would sound wrathful, but the matter that made it even more difficult for her indignation was that her voice now sounded soft, weak and lacking strength. It was hoarse, deep and low, as if trapped by lust and hard to extricate from herself.

Rather than sounding like an angry rebuke, it sounded more like wanting to resist while still welcoming the blame.

This kind of tone made even Su Luo herself unable to continue listening to it, she turned her head away and gradually adjusted her disordered mood.

The corner of Nangong Liuyun's mouth lifted into a smile, he unhurriedly tidied up her conspicuously messy hair. His languid movement seemed a little blurred, "Silly Luo Luo, are you this fond of this king kissing you?"

Su Luo's previous breath choked back in her throat.

Chapter 267 - Romance in Prince Jin's Manor (3)

This was what you call her liking it? It was clearly forced on her okay?

Su Luo's eyes were as cold as the water in autumn, and full of indignation. She grinded out everything word by word: "Nangong Liuyun, you better not be flaunting it just because you got away with taking cheap advantage of me."

Having already gotten away with taking cheap advantage and being secretly happy was enough, but to actually come and flaunt it, this would just provoke more fury.

Nangong Liuyun's strong and powerful arms took the opportunity to encircle her, drawing Su Luo in front of him into his embrace. He had a pleased-with-himself expression and his tone was smooth: "You still aren't willing to admit it? Just a moment ago, who was it that clung to this king and wouldn't let go? Such a bashful little thing."

Su Luo's face was scarlet from holding back. Her fist smashed towards Nangong Liuyun's chest with a fiendish and monstrous expression: "If you are seeking death, just say so. Don't be so subtle."

Nangong Liuyun's pitch black eyes flashed with a trace of being pleased with himself. He hugged Su Luo even tighter to him, pasting her entire body to his and not leaving a tiny seam in-between them. He calmly and composedly said, "My family's Luo Luo is the one who would hate to let go. If this king dies, then you must accompany this king to die together."

Su Luo coldly snorted: "Such beautiful wishful thinking, who would accompany you to die together? In any case, that person is not me."

"Being hard-mouthed." Nangong Liuyun leaned over and kissed the edge of her soft lips. Inch by inch, he lightly, gently and softly kissed her.

His actions were exquisite and tender, compared to before, which was the kind of plundering like the blast of torrential rain, they were completely different methods.

Su Luo instinctively wanted to dodge, but anything that Nangong Liuyun wanted to do, how could he leave it unfinished?

One could only see Nangong Liuyun placing both of her hands behind her back. His other hand cupped the curvature of her fair, soft and lovable chin. He greedily sampled the smell that belonged only to her.

There was nowhere for Su Luo to escape to.

In all fairness, her heart consider his smell to be amazing. That kind of smell which was like the warm spring grass when cherry blossoms bloomed in March could intoxicate a person. Dazzling, giddying and swoon-worthy, twisting and turning to nibble away deep into her bone with its ecstasy. It was as if just by touching, it would taint you and make you an addict, never willing to stop.

Slowly, he let her go, caressing her prominently outlined, ravished red lips. The corner of Nangong Liuyun's mouth curved up in satisfaction. His phoenix eyes were content and lazy like a leopard's: "This is the first time this king has the benefit of enjoying, afterwards, only this king will be able to enjoy it, memorized it yet?"

Seeing the satisfied Nangong Liuyun with his phoenix eyes slightly closed, a furious feeling of having choked back being wronged for a long time, all of a sudden streaked across Su Luo's heart.

Then she sneered and said: "Nangong Liuyun, you are rather too naive, okay?" Su Luo pointed to her own ravished red lips which started to curve into an enigmatic grim smile: "This here, how could it have been enjoyed only by you alone?"

Once these words were out, the tranquil atmosphere was as if cold frost had descended. In a flash, the temperature dropped to as low as an icehouse's.

The air in the atmosphere immediately condensed into ice and frost, it was bone-chillingly cold.

Nangong Liuyun's deep and distant eyes momentarily squeezed out icy and strict rays of light. His incomparably handsome face became clouded and shrouded in a layer of icy frost. From head to toe, he was producing and scattering a terrifying aura.

His serene expression now embodied a scathing aura of death, savage and reeking of blood. He ruthlessly and very darkly glared at Su Luo. That pair of eyes that was brimming with cockiness just a moment ago now burst forth with a chilliness that would stop a person's beating heart.

In this split second, a feeling of vexation flashed through Su Luo's heart.

However, she really never expected that Nangong Liuyun's reaction would be this large...It was merely a kiss, he would actually care about it this much? If he knew about her joining the romantic dating scene in the modern era and playing according to those rules, wouldn't he have gone insane from fury?

Su Luo's heart was a little uneasy, suddenly, she felt that she lacked some confidence.

However, what was she to be afraid of? Also, who was she to him? Why should she allow him to control her every move?

Thinking up to here, Su Luo became full of confidence. She bravely confronted Nangong Liuyun's murderous-looking gaze.

Chapter 268 - Romance in Prince Jin's Manor (4)

At this moment, both were sharply opposing each other, with neither prepared to give an inch. They were both fiercely glaring at each other, neither was willing to be outdone.

"Who else?" Nangong Liuyun's phoenix eyes were half-narrowed dangerously. His eyes had a kind of chilliness that would stop a person's heart from beating. A pair of bloodthirsty pupils firmly stared at Su Luo, like a berserk beast.

Su Luo's heart was a little lacking in confidence, but her face hardly showed any weakness. She bravely retorted back: "Why would it concern you? Is it something you can control?"

This sentence was as if she had suddenly poked at a hornet's nest!

Nangong Liuyun's eyes were like a sharp blade curved from a millennium old block of ice, ruthlessly launched at Su Luo. His furious thoughts grew without restraint, stressing each word, he said: "You, say that again one more time."

Su Luo had a little guilty conscience, but having arrived at this juncture, whoever showed weakness would stand on the losing side. Therefore, Su Luo bravely lifted up her chin, she unblinkingly returned his glare with a glare: "My affairs have nothing to do with you. Before it was unrelated to you, now it's unrelated to you, and in the future, it will be even more unrelated to you!"

Nangong Liuyun's darkening face was about to explode like a tempest at any moment, and his eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty frost.

Now, the moon in the sky was hidden among a thick layer of clouds. All of a sudden, a flash of lightning streaked past. Following close behind, the rumbling of thunder started to sound in the silence of the night.

The weather at this moment suddenly changed.

A gale-like wind bellowed and heavy torrential rain poured down.

Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, the sky that was clear suddenly become cloudy, shining upon the side of Nangong Liuyun's matchless handsome face. It made him look even more malicious and sinister. He looked so cruel that people wouldn't dare to look straight at him.

Suddenly, his lanky and jade-like fingers grabbed and pinched Su Luo's throat!

A kind of panic-stricken feeling of having her breathing cut off started to spread through Su Luo's heart.

However, Su Luo did not beg for forgiveness. She merely tried to break open his hand through sheer obstinacy, using all her strength.

However, the level disparity was that obvious, the contrast in strength could be seen at a glance. How could the second ranked Su Luo be the seventh ranked Nangong Liuyun's opponent?

Still even more so, the Nangong Liuyun right now had sunk straight into a rash, ruthless state of mind. He was even more unwilling to back off and let go.

No matter how hard Su Luo tried, she could not pry apart his hand. On the contrary, because of Su Luo's stubborn resistance, Nangong Liuyun's strong and powerful five fingers were like an iron hook, the more she struggled, the tighter it became!

It got so tight that it could almost cut off Su Luo's neck.

Her throat continued to ache as if it was burning, she couldn't breathe in fresh air and her entire face swelled, turning red. She painfully gasped for breath but could not inhale even a thread of air. It was completely cut off by Nangong Liuyun's pair of large hands.

Her consciousness become more and more fuzzy...Su Luo felt that her entire body was light as a feather, floating to and fro as if her soul was about to fly away.

Just when Su Luo's vision became fuzzy, a thick shadow leaned over and bent down. With an unparalleled gesture, he strongly and overbearingly occupied her red lips. A mouthful of fresh air, like strands of silk, slid into her suffocated lungs.

The delirious Su Luo clutched at the final straw that could save her life, why would she be willing to let go?

He strongly, wantonly moved around in her mouth. She indifferently replenished the air essential for her survival from his mouth.

She allowed him to come and go freely, no matter what, she could not oppose him.

The two of them hugged tightly close together, each taking what he or she needed.

It was only after a long, long time, did that pair of large, lanky hands tightly pinching at her throat finally start to shift away. Only, his expression was still as bloodthirsty as before. It was merciless and icy cold to the bone.

"Luo Luo, be obedient from now on, you mustn't be this naughty again." Nangong Liuyun slowly caressed Su Luo's red, swelling lips that had been sucked on. The corner of his mouth, little by little, hooked into a devilishly charming and alluring smile. However, that smile never reached his eyes, his eyes were as ice-cold as before, so inhumane.

This man....was simply too terrible.

Chapter 269 - Romance in Prince Jin's Manor (5)

Su Luo, with trepidation and lingering fear, looked at this man, and unable to suppress it, she took a step back.

This step was like stepping away from the abyss.

The smile at the corner of Nangong Liuyun's mouth become increasingly gorgeous. He caressed Su Luo's pair of pink tender cheeks, as if explaining something for Su Luo to listen to, but also seemed to be speaking to himself: "If I snap off the wings of a phoenix, would it still be a phoenix?"

His voice was like a breeze and gentle rain, playing down everything. However, when it reached Su Luo's ears, she felt fearful and alarmed in the face of disaster.

She would rather see him vent in violent fury and use a murderous gaze full of ice to look at her, than see him like this with a smiling expression that never reached his eyes, trying to fool himself with words. This kind of him made her alarmed and scared.

She cannot provoke him further, she really must not.

Su Luo silently looked at him, not saying a word.

Nangong Liuyun smiled, his smile was as tender and gentle as water. He briskly pulled on Su Luo's hand, leading her to walk towards the bed. He lovingly and indulgently rubbed the black hair on her head, "The time is late, Luo girl, you should keep this king company in the same bed."

After saying this, he didn't allow her to refuse and put her on top of the bed. Soon after, he turned himself over and also got onto the bed.

His movements were gentle, but also carried a strong force that would not tolerate resistance.

Su Luo attempted to refuse, but discovered she was simply unable to decline.

This temperamental man with huge mood swings! Just a moment ago, he was violently raging as if he wanted to kill everyone in the entire world. Now, his expression was once again all smiles, she really didn't know which was the real him.

Su Luo's heart let out a sigh of aggravation.

Since she was unable to refuse, then she had no other choice but to accept. After all, it was not like anything would really happen in bed. It was merely sleeping on the same bed and nothing more.

Su Luo simply lay flat on top of the embroidered quilt, afterwards, she rolled around and wrapped herself in the quilt like a plump, cocooned silkworm. Then she rolled on the bed towards the wall and inclined towards the side. She faced inside, with her body stretched out straight.

Su Luo's actions were done smoothly, without a half second pause. In a blink of an eye, she had completed her movements.

Nangong Liuyun was simply dumbstruck as he watched this scene in front of him.

A long time later, he finally leaned over her body and started to chuckle.

The more he chucked, the less he was able to repress his laughter. Finally, he was laughing so hard that tears almost came out.

His little Luo Luo was simply too cute, she would go as far as bundling herself up to resemble a cocooned silkworm~~~

Su Luo irritatedly rolled to a ninety degree angle to be face-to-face with him as she glared at him, "The night is getting darker, why haven't you quickly lie down to sleep? What are you laughing at!"

However, since Nangong Liuyun could laugh out loud, Su Luo's could relax her highly alerted heart from before.

Compared to the sinister Nangong Liuyun from just a moment ago, who was like an Asura that had walked out of hell, the him right now, although he was abominable, seemed much cuter.

Nangong Liuyun spoilingly and lovingly rubbed her little head, his tone appeared to be careless, "Little girl, you think that being bundled like this, then this king would be unable to deal with you?"

If he really wanted to deal with her, why would he regard this very small embroidered quilt as a hindrance? In the time it took him to lift his hand, he would have torn it.

Su Luo's heart went 'thump', she become somewhat afraid of the consequences. She shakingly and falteringly extended out her little head and sent a quick glare at Nangong Liuyun. This asshole wouldn't really want to do something right?

Probably because there was something in her expression, or it could have been that the manner she extended out her head was too ridiculous, the laughter in Nangong Liuyun's eyes became even stronger. He stretched out his hand, those slender fingers flicked once on top of her head.

Both of Su Luo's hands were wrapped in the quilt and could not rub her head that hurt from his flick that could explode a chestnut. She could only use her watery eyes to glare at him accusingly: "The high and mighty prince unexpectedly would be this stingy? Didn't I only use one of your quilts? Way too stingy!"

This girl's ability to avoid the important details and dwell on the minor ones was really not a little skilled. Nangong Liuyun took pity on her and his slender fingers rubbed her forehead. His finger seized the opportunity to lightly brush her lips.

Su Luo was stumped for words.

Chapter 270 - Romance in Prince Jin's Manor (6)

His finger was warm and soft as jade, it lightly brushed by like a feather. It was numbing and tingling, making her itch from the soles of her feet to her heart.

Nangong Liuyun saw her reaction, and the smile in his eyes became even more concentrated. He lowered his head, with his lips almost touching hers.

Su Luo wanted to move back, but discovered to her sorrow that her entire body was bundled in the quilt, unable to move.

The hot air that Nangong Liuyun breathed out, landed onto her face, almost as if it was touching her lips. He said in a low voice: "A dead duck's mouth is hard, here, apart from this king, no one had ever touched it before."

Ultimately, he still lightly pecked at Su Luo's soft, red lips.

Once again, he took advantage of her!

Su Luo glowered at him.

Nangong Liuyun raised an eyebrow in a philander manner: "Just this, and you are impatient? Now, it is still the prelude, tonight, the night is very long--"While pinching both of Su Luo's pink tender cheeks, his smile became even wider.

Although his tone seemed careless, the idea it conveyed was nakedly dripping with blood.

Hearing this, Su Luo only felt her hair stand on ends, with her back going cold.

This man with evil taste! He would torment her in this way and had actually told her that this was merely a prelude and nothing more. Nothing more...then what would follow this? Su Luo wished that tonight would be over in a hurry, so change would come with breakfast in the daytime.

Just as the saying went, whatever you owe, you must not owe a debt for a favor, because this demanded repayment in flesh.

No wonder when the servants in Prince Jin's Manor saw him, it was as if every one of them had seen a ghost, they were so afraid that they were terrified. They were not only afraid of him, but also of his influence and strength, right? This man, by birth alone, had the capital to make people despair and become panic-stricken.

Tonight...What would he do?

Instinctively, Su Luo was a little scared. She wanted to turn around and shrink back into her quilt, like a turtle withdrawing back into its shell.

However, Nangong Liuyun was a step ahead of her, she also didn't know how he moved. He merely grabbed the corner of the quilt firmly and casually tugged, then Su Luo's entire body was like a meatball, automatically rolling into his embrace.

Without waiting for Su Luo to turn and leave, Nangong Liuyun had already lowered his body and seized her lips. His breath assaulted her senses like a dense mist around her, teasing her heart.

Once Su Luo became aware, she used all her strength to push him away. What she never expected was that this push actually made him reel away.

When did Nangong Liuyun become this weak?

The sound of thunder erupted outside the window. Pea-sized droplets of rain came down in buckets. The sound of pouring rain echoed violently during this period.

Lightning flashed, thunder rolled and the rumbling sounds were never-ending.

The lightning that flashed by, in an instant, lit up the room like daytime. It shone upon Nangong Liuyun's face, and Su Luo saw that his eyebrows and forehead were slightly knotted.

Su Luo watched him, thought about it, and her entire body curled back into the embroidered quilt. She withdrew her entire body into the quilt, only leaving her pair of clear, black and large eyes unblinkingly watching Nangong Liuyun.

This asshole cared most about his reputation, having been pushed away by her like this, perhaps he would fly into a rage out of humiliation?

Yet, outside out Su Luo's expectations, Nangong Liuyun not only didn't once again ruthlessly pounce on her, he slowly turned over and instead half-reclined down on the side. He pulled up the quilt to cover himself with both hands behind his back, and lazily cast her a quick glance: "Do you feel that you could escape me tonight?"

Su Luo pursed her lips, as if thinking about it while looking at him.

Something was wrong.

This asshole had always been the action type, actions were more powerful than words. At this moment, he was actually speaking arrogantly. Although actions-wise, he had clearly already given up...What was going on?

Su Luo, who examined things down to the smallest details, could make out something doubtful at once. When the lightning flashed by, Su Luo's gaze was looking at Nangong Liuyun's complexion. She clearly saw that Nangong Liuyun's brows were wrinkled ferociously, appearing as if he was suffering a lot of pain.

But he hasn't been injured... Su Luo secretly felt this was strange in her heart.

Chapter 271 - Romance in Prince Jin's Manor (7)

Nangong Liuyun saw Su Luo looking at him, lifting his eyebrows, he devilishly charmingly smirked at her. He lazily said: "Want the woman to take the lead? Okay, this king will give you a chance, come."

Shameless! A man without boundaries! Would not taking advantage of her when speaking kill him?

Su Luo fiercely glared at him, but the Nangong Liuyun right now suddenly blinked his eyes, his forehead was coated in a layer sweat.

"Nangong, Are you--"Su Luo felt that something was fishy, she unrolled the quilt and shifted towards where Nangong Liuyun was.

Nangong Liuyun waved his hand, and his smile widened. He downplayed everything, saying: "It's nothing, just a little old illness. Once it's here, it will be sore for a short while."

Old illness? Making Nangong Liuyun call it an old illness, what kind of old wound would it be?

When the time comes it would hurt for a while. When the time comes, don't tell me, after a period of time, it would start hurting, something that comes chronically?

A touch of doting feeling flashed through Su Luo's heart. She could not imagine the kind of pain that could change Nangong Liuyun's complexion, how painful must it be...Momentarily, she was at a complete loss, she wasn't sure what she should do that would be good.

Nangong Liuyun was on his side, being supported on one hand. He smilingly watched her.

However, Su Luo could clearly see the cold sweat on his forehead rushing out to form droplets. His chest and back were both soaked through with cold sweat. He smiled just like in the past, but the smile felt kind of lifeless.

"You--" Su Luo wanted to ask him if he had painkiller drugs or something similar, but on second thought, even with Nangong Liuyun's strength, if he was still unable to restrain the pain, then what was the use of painkillers?

Nangong Liuyun suddenly shut his eyes, he turned around and pulled the quilt to cover himself, "Enough, it's getting late. If you don't want to sleep here, then go out and look for Ling Feng. He will arrange everything well for you."

His tone sounded somewhat rushed, as if enduring something silently. He used the quilt to cover his entire person, so his voice sounded muffled.

Su Luo was unable to see his expression clearly, but seeing his curled up body, with his back arched and the quilt appearing to be shaking, it seemed as if it was very painful.

Su Luo had a distracted and amazed expression, her heart had a fit of unrest.

In the end, what was wrong with Nangong Liuyun? Such a strong, overbearing and insufferably arrogant man, how could he suffer so much pain until he was like this?

Moreover, seeing him like this, it was as if this old illness had always caused him complications, flaring up periodically.

Su Luo hadn't left since the beginning, she sat up with both hands linked together, holding her knees. Her face was slanted and was watching Nangong Liuyun all along.

Nangong Liuyun sank into a deep sleep, the quilt that covered his face slid to the side. It revealed that handsome, sweat-covered, pale face.

Outside, the gale storm erupted, in this kind of weather, if the sweat was not wiped dry, it was very easy to catch a cold.

Su Luo thought about it, climbed down the bed, and walked out quietly on tiptoe.

Outside the door, there was always servants standing there, waiting. Under Su Luo's instructions, a basin of hot water was very quickly fetched, in addition to a folded, snow-white, embroidered towel.

"It will be fine, I will go in by myself. You people continue to keep watch here." With one short sentence, Su Luo dismissed the servants. She personally carried the basin of hot water into the room.

Nangong Liuyun, this kind of strong-minded man, certainly wouldn't want others to see this weak side of himself.

Su Luo set the jade basin on top of the table, wrung the towel dry, and gently wiped clean Nangong Liuyun's face that was covered in sweat.

Nangong Liuyun brows were pinched tightly, and his complexion was terrifyingly pale.

Even though before, she was itching to swat him dead, now seeing him like this, a trace of care and concern streaked across Su Luo's heart. Her finger involuntarily stroked his face, gently sliding towards the space between his eyebrows.

He seemed to have relaxed a little.

Doing something within her abilities for him, Su Luo felt very happy.

Chapter 272 - Romance in Prince Jin's Manor (8)

However, there wasn't enough time for her to be happy before her hands were grabbed by the him who was sleeping. He pulled her to him. Even though he was still in pain and still fast asleep, his strength was as astonishingly great as before.

Su Luo simply had no time to react, before her entire body had already fallen into his embrace. She was heavily pressed on top of his body.

Nangong Liuyun gave a muffled groan as she knocked into him, but he once again firmly hugged her to him. He then turned over and went back into a deep sleep.

This time, Nangong Liuyun merely hugged her, holding her close, and didn't make any other movements.

His arms were strong and powerful, as hard as iron clamps. Several times, Su Luo wanted to pry open his fingers but her efforts were to no avail. She was completely unable to move him even the slightest bit.

Nangong Liuyun seemed to be submerged in a deep sleep. His breathing was long and continuous, only his eyebrows were still slightly pinched.

Su Luo stopped struggling, a trace of a tender sentiment that she herself wasn't aware of flashed through the gaze she used to look at him.

This man, suffering so much pain like this and still being able to sleep, was very rare. How could she have the heart to startle him awake with noise?

Su Luo pulled up the quilt and wrapped it around him completely. Afterwards, in his embrace, she found a comfortable position and raised her head to look at his face.

Long, thick eyelashes, handsome straight nose, thin red lips, and his facial features were exquisite. He was like a masterpiece sculpture delicately carved by a grandmaster-level sculptor. He was so handsome, it was beyond compare.

Even though he was asleep as before, it was peaceful one now. His forehead successfully knotted into the Chinese character for river. Recalling his incomparable strength; eminence, and unapproachable identity and status, the place nearest to Su Luo's heart would flash with a trace of cherishing affection.

Suddenly, a divine light flashed through Su Luo's mind.

She suddenly remembered that she had forgotten a very important thing.

Still remember that time when the little divine dragon looked at her, not wanting to let go, and was innocently deceived by her to be by her side? That's right, the Celestial Spirit Water.

Since the Celestial Spirit Water had such a huge attractiveness for the little divine dragon, then it was sufficient to illustrate that top-of-the-line treasure. Only, she didn't know if it would be helpful in treating Nangong Liuyun's pain.

However, his situation couldn't be worse than what it was right now.

Su Luo took out a very small cup of Celestial Spirit Water from her space. She held it very carefully, then she whispered in a very, very soft voice: "Nangong, wake up."

"Ah." Nangong Liuyun hugged her tightly, sleepily letting out a sound of agreement.

Su Luo, once again, very, very carefully pushed him: "Come, drink a little water. Maybe it will make you a little more comfortable."

Nangong Liuyun, in a state of half asleep and half awake, cutely and obediently opened his mouth.

Su Luo carefully fed him half of the little cup of Celestial Spirit water for him to drink.

Su Luo didn't dare to give him too much at once. She was afraid something would go wrong.

After drinking all the water, Nangong Liuyun once again went back into deep sleep. Only, he was still hugging Su Luo as before, not letting go.

Su Luo used her sleeves to gently wipe away the water stain at the corner of his mouth a few times. Again, she carefully observed his complexion.

Didn't know how much time had passed, but his pinched eyebrows finally started to smooth out. Suddenly, his expression didn't seem to be in that much pain anymore.

Seeing this, Su Luo was very happy. She single-handedly supported her chin and was all smiles as she looked at him.

Outside, the rain came down increasingly heavier.

The thunder rumbled continuously.

In this man's embrace, Su Luo unconsciously fell into a deep sleep.

This sleep, Su Luo slept very heavily. By the time she woke up, it was already late morning.

Opening her eyes, she calmly looked at the ceiling. Last night's memories rose like the tide and rushed out.

Nangong's teasing, Nangong's fury, Nangong's pain...One scene after another came thick and fast, stuffing her sober head full almost to the point of bursting.

The last memory was of his smoothed out handsome face.

Su Luo suddenly sat up, when she turned her head to look, the bed already didn't have that man's silhouette.

Chapter 273 - Romance in Prince Jin's Manor (9)

This man was born into high status, and his martial arts cultivation was unparalleled. His power almost overflowed into the heavens, while his entire body was an enigma. This made people puzzled and also gave birth to a sense of curiosity in their hearts.

Su Luo stretched lazily. She dilly-dallied for a good while before getting up to leave the bed.

She asked a servant, and found out Nangong Liuyun had indeed left very early this morning. He had only made it clear that she should obediently stay inside the manor.

He had left first thing in the morning? Don't know if his body was still in pain or not...Su Luo thought while eating breakfast.

After finishing breakfast, Ling Feng automatically appeared in front of her.

Ling Feng saw Su Luo, his mouth lifted a little. He shot her a glance that was neither cold nor hot. He held his sword and silently stood at the side.

Ling Feng never expected that the boy servant from yesterday, after washing clean, was actually Su Luo. Now, he was somewhat speechlessly looking at the sky. He was just saying that that secretive little boy servant was giving him an odd feeling. So, as it turned out, his gut feeling wasn't mistaken.

"Where did Nangong go? When will he return?" Su Luo turned sideways while walking to ask Ling Feng.

"His Highness's whereabouts have always been kept secret. It's better that Miss Su doesn't ask." Even asking was a waste of time, the normally indifferent Ling Feng added this sentence in his heart.

Su Luo was just about to roll her eyes when Ling Feng once again added another sentence in a timely manner, "His Highness said, if the fourth Miss Su woke up in the morning and missed him urgently, might as well take her to the Western Grove courtyard to sit around a while. That courtyard has His Highness's portraits."

A breath was stifled in Su Luo's throat.

This Nangong Liuyun! Who missed him? She was merely asking casually without thinking about it!

Su Luo unhappily glared at Ling Feng: "Such a conceited and arrogant guy. He really think he is a peacock, spreading his tail, bewitching everyone. And also to miss him urgently, I truly have nothing to say to that, not going."

Ling Feng's mouth rose a little, in the end he did not respond.

Able to assess his home's Highness this way without endangering their life, there was only this person in front of his eyes, that didn't even know or appreciated it, the fourth Miss Su.

Ling Feng's expression remained unperturbed: "Since Miss Su won't go to the study, then you should deal with these account books."

Ling Feng waved his hand, immediately, a row of servants approached in a line. Every one of them had both hands holding very thick accounting books that were piled up so high, it was blocking their line of sight. Their footsteps were shaky and swaying, it looked as if it was very dangerous.

Su Luo looked at those account books, then lifted her eyes to look at Ling Feng with suspicion, opened her mouth and stammered: "What do you mean deal with these account books? Speak human language."

Both of Ling Feng's hand was holding onto his sword, his indifferent face was calm as he deemphasized what he said: "His Highness made clear, these things are all matters his future princess must do. Since you now have nothing to do, then just deal with all of this."

Su Luo smiled a smile that was not quite a smile, and while casting him a glance, she unhurriedly said: "You also said that this things are matters the future princess must handle. Why should this Miss look after it? I'm not going to meddle in affairs that are not part of my position."

Ling Feng's face that always seemed to be have nerve paralysis was now hooked into a rare, faint smile. Towards the servants holding the accounts books swaying left and right, he coldly snorted, saying: "Before His Highness left, what he instructed, do you still remember?"

A row of six servants all said in unison: "We remember His Highness said that Miss Su is already His Highness's woman. She is the future Princess Jin, her position is guaranteed and should get sincere treatment in this house!"

Ling Feng satisfiedly nodded his head. His gaze landed on Su Luo's face, light as a feather. He merely raised an eyebrow and did not speak.

A breath seemed to be stifled in Su Luo's chest.

That guy who ruined her reputation!

Why say she was already his woman? Clearly they hadn't done anything okay?!

Fancy that last night, she was still worried about his illness, so extremely worried that even in the middle of the night, she still couldn't sleep. Later, she even took out Celestial Spirit Water for him to drink. Was this how he repaid her?

Chapter 274 - Romance in Prince Jin's Manor (10)

"Princess, these account books..." There were many account books, it was very heavy, and the six servants carrying them were panting. Their hands and foot swung to and fro, but without Su Luo's orders, they simply wouldn't dare to put down these account books.

Su Luo snorted heavily: "What princess? Don't just shout out something erroneously. Don't you know it will ruin a person's innocence?"

"Yes, without His Highness's command, we wouldn't dare to call out inappropriate names." The six servants replied in unison, "However...imperial concubine princess, these account books..."

Su Luo simply had nothing more to say. They had just agreed to not shout out titles erroneously. What did these mouths call her again?

"Move all of these account books out, who likes to look at them, then let them look at it. In any case, I won't look at them." Su Luo impatiently waved her hand, it was not like she was Princess Jin. Why should she become a stand-in and help him take care of the miscellaneous stuff in the manor?

The six servants' gaze simultaneously looked at Ling Feng.

Ling Feng waved his hand, indicating that they should leave.

The six servants uniformly bowed and said to Su Luo in unison: "We solemnly comply with Princess's orders. Us servants ask to be excused."

Su Luo was about to scowl at them.

Without waiting for her to flare-up, the six servants, carrying the account books which were half a person in height, quickly slipped away. Where was that trembling and swaying that they had before, a feeling as if they were frail and about to fall over any second?

Su Luo inevitably was dumbfounded. This Prince Jin's Royal Manor, every single one of the servants all had practiced the martial arts move Ling Bo Wei Bu, right? How could their kung fu skill at running for their life be this powerful?

"Princess..." Ling Feng said one sentence and was interrupted by Su Luo's wave of a hand.

Su Luo snappily glared at him: "What? Even you have come to make fun of me?"

"Wouldn't dare." Even though Ling Feng claimed that he wouldn't dare, his indifferent expression still didn't have a trace of humility that a bodyguard ought to have.

Su Luo's eyebrow rose slightly, she smiled faintly while casting Ling Feng a quick glance. She calmly said with a slight anticipation: "That's right, Ling Feng, do you still remember the last time we made a bet?"

She did not believe that even this wouldn't scare Ling Feng into leaving.

Sure enough, Ling Feng's expression immediately changed. He anxiously looked at Su Luo, saying: "The fourth Miss Su should play nicely in this manor. All of a sudden, I remembered before His Highness left, he had instructed me to handle a few things that were urgent. Thus, I ask to be excused first."

"Hey, the last time's bet was about--" Su Luo hadn't finished speaking before Ling Feng's figure had already disappeared from inside the room. His speed was as fast as lightning, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Seeing Ling Feng's scared and anxious rear view fleeing, Su Luo let out a "pffft' sound of laughter.

Last time, because they had urgently needed green-colored crystal stones to save Nangong Liuyun, in a moment of desperation, Ling Feng had made a bet with Su Luo. If she could collect all fifty or equivalent green-colored crystal stones, then Ling Feng would go and become her personal bodyguard.

The result was that she naturally won the bet, however Ling Feng, this asshole, seemed as if he had completely forgotten about this bet. His face was as taut as before and continued to ignore paying this bet, coming and going freely.

The people inside the room had all fled, leaving only Su Luo behind, by herself.

Here was the inside of Nangong Liuyun's study, normally, other people were not allowed to enter. Only Su Luo was not subjected to this restriction.

On top of the bookshelf were rows and rows of books.

Su Luo, who was deeply bored, picked up a book in passing. She swept a glance at the cover and it was actually 《Elementary Apothecary Book》.

In a split second, Su Luo's eyes suddenly shone brightly.

She still remembered that before, inside Elder Zi Huo's cave dwelling, she obtained that book that all the Apothecaries in the world dreamed of finding, the 《Obscure Pill Recipes》.

That 《Obscure Pill Recipes》 was Elder Zi Huo's personal work. It recorded his lifetime's knowledge and experience in refining pills from recipes. Inside, it also contained an appendix with Primeval Pill Recipes that had already been lost in this era.

It was a pity that although 《Obscure Pill Recipes》 was great, yet, it ended up in Su Luo's hands.

During that time, Elder Zi Huo was the continent's only Grandmaster level Apothecary. His level was so high that people could only look up with admiration, worship and deep reverence, making it hard for people to forget this predecessor.

Chapter 275 - Romance in Prince Jin's Manor (11)

The 《Obscure Pill Recipes》left by Elder Zi Huo included his lifetime worth of studies, but because he was too great, it was to the extent that the book he left behind was very abstruse. At the very least, she needed to be an Intermediate Apothecary to be able to understand a little of what was written.

Not to mention, Su Luo was a novice who hadn't even set foot into the threshold of an Apothecary. The her right now possessed a mountain of treasures, but no matter what, she couldn't find the key to enter it. This kind of taste like that of a castle in the air was really difficult to bear.

However, now this 《Elementary Apothecary Book》 right in front of her just so happened to be able to resolve the predicament that Su Luo was faced with.

Recalling Nangong Liuyun suffering from that kind of pain last night, Su Luo's heart suddenly had a notion. If she could raise her Apothecary level, maybe she could cure Nangong Liuyun's old illness.

Having thought of things up to here, Su Luo, with single-minded devotion, started to thumb through that 《Elementary Apothecary Book》.

This type of basic book paid more attention to explaining the theory and analyzing the Apothecary system. Su Luo had always been smart with practically a photographic memory, and adding her single-minded devotion on top of that, time passed in a flash while she was studying.

When Su Luo rubbed her tired and dry eyes while standing up to stretch, she discovered a man was standing at the doorway.

Today's Nangong Liuyun was dressed in a black brocade robe, his figure was tall and lean. His phoenix eyes were narrowed slightly, dark as ink and deep as a bottomless pool. It was domineering, and at the same time, full of a noble aura. His thin lips were dark red, moist and hooked into a demonically charming smile like a scarlet cluster of amaryllis, so alluring and enticing.

He stood unmoving at the doorway, the sunlight shone onto his whole body, making it radiate a faint halo. Even though he was just silently watching her, part of his inherent arrogance, nobility and domineering aura basically made it impossible for people to ignore his existence.

He merely watched Su Luo with an amiable manner that was light as clouds and gentle as the wind. However, he still gave off a kind of indiscernible oppressive feeling. Encountering that pair of charming,beautiful eyes that hypnotized all living things, Su Luo found that her own heart was throbbing uncontrollably.

Evildoer, he indeed deserved to be called an evildoer!

Just by appearing, he would capture all the brilliance from the surroundings, as if all the splendor would gather on his body at this time.

Nangong Liuyun, dressed in an elegant, black-colored brocade robe, slowly walked towards Su Luo.

Finally, his tall body stopped in front of Su Luo. A devilish radiance started to float to the surface of his beautiful pair of eyes. With a dazzlingly beautiful and devilishly charming manner, he unmovingly stared at Su Luo. From the beginning, the corner of his mouth had a wicked smile, "Looking until you are struck dumb? You like the king this much?"

Su Luo suddenly returned to her senses and irritatedly rolled her eyes: "What rubbish are you saying? Who likes you?"

Would this guy die if he didn't make fun of her? Every time, it was the same trick.

Nangong Liuyun smiled shallowly, his gaze cast a look at the book in her hand, "Elementary Apothecary book? That's right, our family's Luo girl indeed has the figure of a gifted Apothecary. Not cultivating it would be a pity."

Speaking of this, Su Luo's heart suddenly moved, she quietly stared at Nangong Liuyun, then with a clear and cold voice, said: "What's the matter with you last night? Old illness....is it very serious?"

Nangong Liuyun's long arm, in one move, encircled Su Luo to his chest. He lowered his head and smilingly looked at her. "Is this king's little Luo Luo concerned? Am I right?"

Su Luo turned her face away and muttered: "Who's concerned? It was only because previously, I didn't know and was suddenly scared by your illness. Why don't you tell me what's it all about in the end? Aren't you Prince Jin? Couldn't you find an Apothecary to treat you?"

Nangong Liuyun's lips were pursed while he smilingly looked at Su Luo. Strands of bright and beautiful sunlight landed on his bright eyes, like the light and shadows now flowing smoothly. It was resplendent and gorgeous.

"Speak ,ah, what are you looking at." Su Luo annoyedly pushed at his strong-as-iron body.

Chapter 276 - Elementary Apothecary (1)

Nangong Liuyun smiled until sound came out: "Hard-mouthed girl, still saying you don't care about this king. Look at you being so anxious, you just said a bunch of words, and normally, when this king wants to talk to you, it's difficult."

Su Luo also realized that she was actually anxious on his behalf. A blush from shame flashed across her face. She feigned calmness and slanted her head away, pretending as if she hadn't heard a thing.

Nangong Liuyun loved this kind of bashfulness of hers to death. His expression was like the cherry blossoms in March, splendid and bright, as he deeply and charmingly looked at her. The corner of his mouth contained a light smiling expression. His Luo girl was just this stubborn and cute, truly, he liked her more and more.

Both figures were nestled up against each other, standing quietly, and time seemed to have stood still.

Time was good and still, life was peaceful.

This kind of ambiguous scene, it appeared as if between them, there was really some kind of relationship.

A frenetic feeling flashed through Su Luo's heart, she unconsciously pushed away Nangong Liuyun. Her gaze landed on the 《Elementary Apothecary Book》 on the ground. Her eyes moved slightly and decided to divert Nangong Liuyun's attention.

"Nangong Liuyun, your illness really can't be treated?" Su Luo softly asked.

Nangong Liuyun looked at her deeply and charmingly, understatedly saying: " It's not something that can't be treated, only these charlatans are too useless. My family's little Luo Luo, on the other hand, is determined to treat the old illness of this king's?"

"Stop rambling on incoherently, what level of Apothecary is needed to cure you?" Su Luo knew he usually wasn't serious, even when talking about an old illness. He was still smiling like before, light as a cloud and gentle as wind.

"This, hum...should be at least a Grandmaster's level?" Nangong Liuyun said somewhat uncertainly.

"Grand, grandmaster level?" Su Luo suddenly had a feeling of looking up at a high mountain.

It was important to know that Apothecary levels were divided into Elementary Apothecary, Intermediate Apothecary, Advanced Apothecary, Elite Apothecary, Master Apothecary and then after, was finally Grandmaster Apothecary (1).

Apothecary levels were very strict, every promotion to the next grade was extremely difficult. Now, she still hadn't even felt her way to the doorway of an Apothecary. Wanting her to rise to the Grandmaster level Apothecary, oh heavens, in contrast being hacked by lightning seemed simpler.

Nangong Liuyun also clearly didn't seem to place his hope on Su Luo's body. However, he merely wrapped himself around her and resolutely handed over the responsibility to her: "Yes, Grandmaster Apothecary, this king's Luo girl must strive very hard. You must strive to cure this king's illness earlier. Speaking of which, every month, it flares up once to torture me. This king is quite impatient."

Su Luo was simply speechless: "It's better that your hope is not placed on me. The me in this lifetime might not be able to reach that height."

You must know, on this entire continent, during that time, there was only Elder Zi Huo who was promoted to the Grandmaster level of Apothecary. Even though she obtained this renowned Elder's legacy, yet how far she could walk on this path, she really didn't know.

"That won't do, you must cure this king." Nangong Liuyun nevertheless pig-headedly insisted on relying on Su Luo no matter what, "Besides you, this king will not allow anyone else to treat it. I will just wait for you. Luo girl, for the purpose of curing this king, you must try very hard to raise your level as an Apothecary."

How could there be this kind of headstrong person, though granted, even if he was picky about the doctor when seeking medical help, it was okay. But he had actually picked her who was now still a zero level damn rookie. He really, indeed, did add a huge pressure on her.

"You are not allowed to be this unruly!" Su Luo unhappily glared at him. This man, in front of others, was powerful and unparalleled. However in front of her, he was like an unruly child that made trouble without reason, making her feel even more speechless.

Nangong Liuyun's red lips were grumbling. His bright and intelligent, large eyes pitifully and accusingly watched her....

Su Luo was simply about to be defeated by Nangong Liuyun being like this.

1) Note: the author changed the order of the Apothecary rankings, before, the Grandmaster level was before the Master. To make it less confusing, I am going to go back and change Apothecary's level according to today's rankings and that would make him Grandmaster Apothecary Zi Huo. So if you see me calling Apothecary Zi Huo as Master level, please let me know so I can change it to Grandmaster.

Chapter 277 - Elementary Apothecary (2)

"Okay, okay, okay. I promise you I will study hard to be an Apothecary. However, you should also promise me, if in the future you come across a Grandmaster Apothecary, you are not allowed to refuse treatment from them." Su Luo had no choice but to agree to his demand.

Nangong Liuyun wickedly and unscrupulously blinked his eyes, mumbling a sentence to himself: If this king was to walk in a roundabout route, then how could I run into one?

"What did you say?" His voice was very soft, Su Luo couldn't hear it clearly.

"Luo Luo's thoughts are for the sake of this king. This king's heart is very comforted. You should rest assured that this king will certainly marry you and take you as wife. I will save the position of main wife, Princess Jin, for you." Nangong Liuyun said in high spirits.

Once he said this, Su Luo at once recalled the manor's servants actions earlier today. If it weren't for the evildoer in front of her secretly issuing commands, then how could those servants dare to address her with that title?

"The position of Princess Jin, humph, you should keep it, this young lady is not interested."

"But this king wants only you to take that position." Nangong Liuyun's eyes showed dense tender feelings, he grabbed hold of and pulled Su Luo, who was turning and just about to leave, to a stop. His face that charmed all living things, had an unprecedentedly serious, earnest stare, "The position of Princess Jin, apart from you, will eternally not be filled by another person!"

Then, what about the Jade Lake's fairy? This sentence was almost blurted out by Su Luo. However, in the end, she stiffly restrained herself.

The Jade Lake's fairy...This was an eternal taboo between them that would not let her be at peace and even-tempered. Often, when she was touched by his dedication to her, that incomparably beautiful face would always emerge in her head. That extraordinary and refined fairy who was above the common populace.

This was a thorn in her heart, it normally didn't hurt nor itch until at a critical time, then it would make the heart sore.

Su Luo quietly and unmovingly gazed at Nangong Liuyun. Finally, she turned her head away.

That name, she never wanted to say it again.

If one day in the future, she didn't need to say it and Nangong Liuyun would automatically stand by her side defending her, protecting her, in that case, maybe she really would give her heart to him and together with him, build the river of love. Together in this different world, hand in hand, they would conquer a slice of bright heaven for themselves.

Now, she must not give him any promises, because she was afraid of being hurt again. In her previous life, being stupid once was enough. In this world, she must live for herself and to live marvelously well!

Nangong Liuyun was very intelligent, how could he not understand what Su Luo wanted to say, but once again didn't say? However, the him right now could not say anything...He silently looked out the window, slowly releasing a deep breath.

An understanding but lonely smile flashed on Su Luo's face.

The atmosphere inside the room was now somewhat heavy and dense.

Nangong Liuyun suddenly let out a sigh and heavily rubbed Su Luo's head: "Doesn't Luo girl want to practice to become an Apothecary? Come, this king will take you for a stroll around the medicine garden. If there are medicinal herbs that you need, we will pick it from there."

"Medicine garden?" Su Luo curiously looked at him, "You actually have a medicine garden?"

Nangong Liuyun non-committally smiled with a should-be-expected manner as he led Su Luo by hand and walked out.

Along the way, they came across the manor's servants. Each and every one of them had seen His Highness Prince Jin from a distance away, so they had already moved to the curbside, bowing while waiting.

Yesterday, those that had waited upon them in the dining room were merely a small number of people. As a result, today they actually saw with their own eyes their family's Asura-like, deeply cold Highness unexpectedly acting like a child. He was in an exuberant mood while leading along a young lady, holding her hand.

For a moment, there were people dropping plates, walking and twisting their ankles, spraining their necks, and the greatest number of people, were the ones whose chins dropped to the ground...

Su Luo was somewhat embarrassed, and she wanted to shake off Nangong Liuyun. However, Nangong Liuyun's hand, which seemed as if it was lightly holding hers, his wrist was in fact as hard as an iron clamp. No matter what Su Luo did, she was unable to throw him off.

Chapter 278 - Elementary Apothecary (3)

Nangong Liuyun acted as if nobody else was present, ignoring all kinds of people. In high spirits, he led Su Luo along, and on the way, showed her off as he passed.

Su Luo plaintively complained in her heart: She was done for! If this was to spread out, did she still have a reputation to keep?

Prince Jin's Royal Manor was very large, the courtyards were arranged irregularly, resulting in a charming effect. Didn't know how long they walked for, eventually, Nangong Liuyun brought Su Luo to a garden that was overflowing with the aroma of medicinal herbs.

When Su Luo went inside this medicine garden and saw the scenery in front of her, it immediately made her eyes shine brightly.

Su Luo identified everything one by one and found that the medicinal herbs in this medicine garden was complete. All the medicinal herbs mentioned in that《Elementary Apothecary Book》were practically all here.

In this case, it was easier to manage. It also helped her avoid going everywhere to search for these medicinal herbs.

However, for her first time refining medicine, what kind of medicinal pill would be good to refine?

Su Luo's fingers was on her chin in a pondering position, her brain was rapidly thinking about this question.

After thinking for a while, Su Luo finally decided to refine an elementary level Spirit Restoration Pill.

Spirit Restoration Pill, as the name implied, was a pill that replenished a person's spirit power.

A person's spirit power was limited, after a battle, it would be used up. However, if a person swallowed a Spirit Restoration Pill on the spot, then it was possible to restore their spirit power.

Elementary Spirit Restoration Pills could only restore a person's spirit strength by ten percent. Intermediate Spirit Restoration Pills could restore a person's spirit strength by twenty percent, and so on.

However, on this continent, there were very few Apothecaries, moreover, the success rate for refining Spirit Restoration Pills was not very high. Therefore, the market price for Elementary Spirit Restoration Pill was still not very low. The common market price for one pill was one hundred gold coins.

Because Su Luo's body contained the wood element system, she naturally had a familiar feeling with regards to medicinal herbs. She closed her eyes and was able to clearly feel the distinction between the similar types of medicinal herbs. Which stalk of herb was most active and strong, and which stalk of herb was withered and listless.

Su Luo, without the slightest hesitation, naturally picked all the vital and active herbal ingredients.

In the medical garden, she harvested more than ten types of herbal ingredients, which she needed to refine the Spirit Restoration Pill. Su Luo threw all of the herbal ingredients into her space at once.

Nangong Liuyun had already guessed that Su Luo was able to unlock her space. Now seeing this, as expected, she really did unlock it. Since she was able to use her space in front of him, it was sufficient to prove her trust in him.

Thinking up to here, a smiling expression appeared at the corner of Nangong Liuyun's mouth. "Luo girl, you couldn't have also already prepared the medicinal cauldron?"

"Of course, and also, to tell you the truth, my medicinal cauldron is difficult to purchase with even ten thousand gold coins. You absolutely cannot imagine how great it is." Su Luo, with a lofty and strutting manner, cast him a glance.

Her medicinal cauldron was called Zi Huo medicinal cauldron, which was actually the one used by Elder Zi Huo back then. The success rate for refining pills was fully doubled. This was not something that those other medicinal cauldrons outside could compare to.

"Then this king will look forward to it, however, for the first time refining pills, it is hard to avoid failure. If so, then Luo girl must not cry and snivel." Nangong Liuyun spoilingly and indulgently looked at her. As long as she was happy, no matter what she was doing, he would keep her company in the same place. He was merely afraid that she would be disappointed when she failed, therefore Nangong Liuyun warned her in advance.

Cry and snivel? What kind of person did he take her for? Su Luo exasperatedly rolled her eyes at him. She will make him open his eyes wide to have a good look. She, Su Luo, not only could cultivate martial arts at an astonishing speed, but also in the way of refining, she absolutely would not lose to others.

After she chased Nangong Liuyun out, Su Luo closed the door and her spirit entered her space in a flash.

Su Luo did it step by step according to the procedure in 《Elementary Apothecary Book》.

First of all, step one required that the more than ten types of medicinal herbs be soaked in spring water.

Su Luo, in her space, also did not need to collect other types of water. What she had the most of in her space was Celestial Spirit Water. Also, the Celestial Spirit Water's usefulness had already passed one person and one divine dragon's verification, it was absolutely great.

Su Luo retrieved some Celestial Spirit Water and soaked the medicinal herbs one by one.

Chapter 279 - Elementary Apothecary (4)

She didn't know that precisely because of this lazy action, this gave her an unexpected result. Moreover, this brought about a huge impact to her future refining career.

In the process of soaking the medicinal herbs, Su Luo, with interest, sized up the Zi Huo medicinal cauldron in front of her.

The Zi Huo medicinal cauldron was a full half a meter high, the whole cauldron appeared to be reddish-purple in color. On the medicinal cauldron were carved four dragon heads with their mouths wide open. The dragon heads seemed malevolent with mouths wide open, as if the flames that reached the sky were gushing out of the dragons' mouth.

The four dragon tails were coiled together, taking the shape of an unusual-looking cauldron lid. Lifting open the cauldron lid, it was a washbasin-sized, first-rate iron pot. This was where the medicinal herbs were to be placed, and on top of the iron pot, was a piece of smooth, flat divider where the medicinal pills would appear on top of it.

The Zi Huo medicinal cauldron could not only amplify the flame, but would also double the success rate during the refining process, because of the rare metals mixed in when creating the cauldron.

Su Luo placed the pre-soaked medicinal herbs one by one into the iron pot, and used the copper lid to cover the cauldron tightly. She lightly patted the mechanism underneath the cauldron.

A flame....Su Luo was indeed a fire system mage, moreover, she could already condense out a small ball of flame by now. However, she always felt that she lacked a little something.

Su Luo's round eyes cleverly turned around as she pondered.

All of a sudden, Su Luo clapped her hands, she finally remembered!

Got it!

How could she have forgotten that treasure!

The little divine dragon, ah! The true fire he sprayed out of his mouth was much stronger compared to her own small ball of fire. The strength of his fire was stronger than hers by innumerable fold.

Su Luo fished up the little divine dragon that was lying on his back on top of the source stone, with his little belly rising and falling in the midst of a deep sleep. The little divine dragon moved his little mouth and rubbed against Su Luo's chest. Both of his little paws were tightly clenching her lapel, and he once again sunk into deep slumber. He also let out a little snore.

Su Luo suddenly didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

However, because it was important to her cultivation, she nevertheless had to borrow a little bit of the little divine dragon's flame.

Su Luo pinched the little divine dragon's nose. For a short while, it was tolerable, but after a period of several breaths, the little divine dragon started to slowly wake up. His sleepy eyes were drowsy, looking at Su Luo with a bewildered and innocent expression.

"Be good, don't sleep yet. First, spray out a little fire for your master." Su Luo held the little divine dragon and aimed his little mouth at one of the opened dragon mouths on top of the medicinal cauldron's lid.

Su Luo impatiently wanted the little divine dragon to assist with the source of the fire, but wasn't aware that now, the posture of her holding two of the little divine dragon's legs looked like she was holding a peeing little kid.

Fortunately, when the little divine dragon saw the carved large dragon design on top, his sleepy and drowsy eyes become mostly awake.

In fact, Su Luo was still a little worried, because the little divine dragon, this child, in the recent past, was a card that would come out and do things outside of expectations. Recalling before, in order to eliminate that pursuer following her, she took the risk and let him undertake the task. The result was that he first sprayed out water, which almost led to a huge accident. Fortunately, the second time, he accidently sprayed out lightning, that directly roasted the guy chasing her to kill her into charcoal. .

Su Luo warned him over and over again: "Remember, you must spray out fire. Don't spray out water nor lightning. By all means, you must not spray out water..."

If water was to go in, then this whole thing would be ruined.

Maybe it was because the Gods were standing on Su Luo's side, her luck could be considered good. What the muddle-headed little divine dragon sprayed out was fire, genuine fire.

After borrowing the fire source, Su Luo allowed the little divine dragon to lie down and continue sleeping. She started to refine the pill.

The true fire in Su Luo's palm, under her control, entered the wide open dragon mouth. The temperature at the top of the medicinal cauldron gradually rose little by little.

The more time passed, the more focused Su Luo's powerful mind became.

This was the first time she refined a pill, moreover, the pill being refined was also not a high level one. However, she inevitably would have a kind of obsessive feeling.

Chapter 280 - Elementary Apothecary (5)

Having added Celestial Spirit Water, along with the help of the little divine dragon's true fire, then drawing support from Zi Huo medicinal cauldron, if she still failed to refine the pill, even she wouldn't forgive herself.

Therefore, no matter what, she didn't want failure to occur in this situation.

Su Luo slightly narrowed her eyes, the spiritual force in her body started to circulate slowly. The flame in the center of her palm, under her spiritual power, blaze after blaze coiled into the medicinal cauldron. The flame inside the medicinal cauldron continuously rolled around and burned.

Su Luo squinted her eyes, she very carefully and cautiously controlled the unruly flame in the Zi Huo medicinal cauldron. She appeased the flame as if pacifying a naughty, unruly, little fire baby.

Under her placating, those flames that were scattered in all directions and doing as they pleased, meekly gave in. They obediently and neatly arranged into one flame.

She really could control the flame now? Su Luo, with a pleasantly surprised expression, looked at the center of her palm. The corner of her mouth rose and her mood became pretty good.

According to the teachings in the 《Elementary Apothecary Book》, people that haven't entered the doorstep of Apothecary, through countless practices to shape their refining skills, that allowed them to feel the process, would gain understanding after many failures. Finally, they would be able to casually control the flame as they wished. In addition, the ability to control flames was a basic skill that an Elementary Apothecary needed to achieve.

Yet, unexpectedly, just a moment ago during her first experiment, she actually was able to learn how to control the flame.

This would mean that she had now already felt her way to the doorstep of an Elementary Apothecary. Su Luo was secretly delighted in her heart. However, she strictly told herself to calm down, because this was nothing more than a mere beginning. Later, there were still things that were even more difficult waiting for her to do, so she must not relax in the slightest.

Slowly, Su Luo started to experience this Zi Huo medicinal cauldron's merit.

This Zi Huo medicinal cauldron seemed as if it was very familiar with her spirit power. After her spirit power entered the cauldron, it caused an extremely small hindrance, and almost seemed not to hinder the flow.

Su Luo concentrated her attention completely on controlling the flame's temperature and extracting the active ingredients from the herbs.

Under Su Luo's sensing of the medicinal herbs in the Zi Huo medicinal cauldron, the Celestial Spring Water, as well as the true fire which was right in the middle of changing, this allowed a fantastical thing to occur.

All kinds of different activated medicinal herbs were shaped and refined by the flame, all sorts of changes were taking place in the absolute silence. All categories of medicinal herbs' active chemicals were pressed out one by one, and like this, were assembled together. The herbs seemed to mutually exchange their essence when combining. Su Luo continuously concentrated her attention completely on extrapolating the intrinsic order of the medicinal herbs.

Finally, Su Luo roughly calculated, that there was as many as one hundred ways to fuse these medicinal herbs.

This was merely an Elementary Spirit Restoration Pill, and it would actually have so many subtle combinations. If it was later, only heaven would know how complicated it would be. Grandmaster level Apothecary, it was indeed an existence that people hope for but could not reach.

Su Luo couldn't even relax for a second, her pair of eyes were slightly closed. She condensed all of her spirit power and poured it into the medicinal cauldron. She was constantly observing the situation inside the medicinal cauldron.

All of a sudden, Su Luo sensed that something was not going well because she could sense the originally cooperative herb essences inside the medicinal cauldron, in a split second, seemed to have been startled. Each and every one of them migrated in all directions in a very frightened manner, fleeing in disarray. This simply made Su Luo wearily rush to and fro.

Su Luo made herself calm down, carefully felt about and carefully appeased. She had a kind of feeling that the reason ought to be because the flame inside the medicinal cauldron was too weak.

She had always respected her own intuition. Also, her intuition had never been wrong.

Just in this split second, Su Luo made her choice.

She reached out her hand and used all her might to slap the dragon mouth on the medicinal cauldron. Concentrating all of her spirit power, the flame in the center of her palm rushed out. The flame rapidly rushed into the middle of the medicinal cauldron. The flame inside the entire medicinal cauldron rose in a flash and the temperature doubled.

Very quickly, Su Luo felt that the spirit power in her own body was almost exhausted.

Could it be, that the first time she refined a pill must end up in failure?

She refused to accept it!

Su Luo clenched her teeth and persisted.
