Chapter 114: A Bitter Kiss (4)

Su Luo looked at Qin Ning, a cold sneer curling her lips; the maidservant by the Yaochi Fairy's side was indeed no simple character.

"They were hunting you down?" Nangong Liuyun's deep eyes grew increasingly gloomy. His entire being appeared aloof and arrogant, exuding a dense aura of kingly Qi.

Su Luo smiled lonely and helplessly. "The people hunting me down aren't just that one group."

At this moment, Su Luo's words had a double meaning. She looked up, watching the Yaochi Fairy with a half-smile, her gaze falling upon that hand as fair as a peeled scallion.

That last arrow had carried world-shaking power; did that beautiful, flawless hand truly leave behind no trace at all?

Throughout this day and night, she could be said to have survived one narrow escape after another. If the Goddess of Luck hadn't been on her side, she would have died a hundred and eight thousand times already.

For the grudge of today's pursuit, she, Su Luo, would definitely return it tenfold in the future!

At this time, the Yaochi Fairy had a soft and warm smile on her face, smiling peacefully and serenely, without a single ripple, appearing truly like a Fairy who did not eat the food of common mortals.

Nangong Liuyun's beautiful eyes were cold and wild. He looked deeply at Su Luo and asked word by word, "Who else was hunting you down?" Rose

Nangong Liuyun, you're the one pressing for an answer; it's not me taking the initiative to complain.

"If I said that some of them were the Yaochi Fairy's people, would you believe me?" Su Luo gazed at him with a half-smile, her tone relaxed and teasing.

But a flash of seriousness and caution flickered through the depths of her eyes.

If Nangong Liuyun believed her, she decided she would no longer hide anything from him and would reveal everything. She would tell him how venomous and malicious his Yaochi Fairy truly was.

If Nangong Liuyun didn't believe her… Su Luo began to smile bitterly with loneliness.

A cold light flashed through Nangong Liuyun's hawk-like eyes. He rubbed her head, his phoenix eyes looking at her even more soul-stirringly and wickedly as he said dotingly, "Don't joke around. You must tell this Prince the truth."

In an instant, Su Luo's heart plummeted to rock bottom, cold to the freezing point.

As expected, she had still expected too much.

As expected, how could a mere few days of being together compare to the mutual trust of growing up together since childhood?

The Yaochi Fairy looked at her with a gentle smile, but deep within those beautiful eyes as clear as jade was a triumphant and blatant cold sneer.

Su Luo seemed to hear her saying: So what if I, the Yaochi Fairy, sent people to assassinate you? Nangong Liuyun doesn't believe it; he simply doesn't believe it at all!

Yes, he didn't believe it.

A faint trace of irony rose at the corner of Su Luo's mouth. She forcefully pushed Nangong Liuyun away, her voice very soft and light: "I'm tired, I want to rest."

At this point, what was the use of saying more? He had no doubts about the Yaochi Fairy anyway.

Seeing her poor mood, Nangong Liuyun thought she was exhausted from the day and night, so he followed her wishes and said gently, "Alright, we'll rest here for the night and continue the mission tomorrow."

"No need," Su Luo refused coldly.

His so-called mission was to slay the Iron-Armored Spiny Dragon, but now her space had opened, and there was no longer any need to slay the Dragon.

"Believe this Prince, I will definitely find the culprit!" Nangong Liuyun looked at her resolutely departing back, his sword-like brows furrowed, his tone as firm as if he were making a vow.

A faint bitterness rose at the corner of Su Luo's mouth.

Find the culprit? I already told you, yet you don't believe it yourself. How else are you going to investigate the culprit?

Su Luo paused her steps and looked back with a shallow smile. Her smile was like fireworks in March—brilliant yet lonely. She said clearly and calmly, "Is that so? Then thank you in advance."

Nangong Liuyun watched her resolutely departing back, his expression shifting between dark and light, the veins on his knuckles bulging.

"Third Senior Brother…" The Yaochi Fairy's beautiful eyes, as alluring as mist, flickered slightly. She gazed at Nangong Liuyun with a hint of hesitation. "Do you believe me?"
