Chapter 268: Palace (5)

Su Luo looked at the man with lingering fear, unable to stop herself from taking a step back.

This step felt like stepping into an abyss.

The smile on Nangong Liuyun's lips grew even more radiant. He caressed Su Luo's tender cheeks, seemingly speaking to Su Luo, yet also talking to himself, "If a phoenix breaks its wings, will it still be a phoenix?"

His voice was like a gentle breeze and fine rain, light and understated, but when Su Luo heard it, she only felt her heart pound with fear.

She would rather he be furious, rather he look at her with cold, murderous eyes, than see him like this, seemingly smiling but with no smile reaching his eyes, talking to himself. This side of him made her feel terrified and afraid.

She couldn't provoke him anymore, truly couldn't.

Su Luo looked at him in silence, not saying a word.

Nangong Liuyun smiled, his smile as gentle as water. He lightly pulled Su Luo's hand, leading her to the bed, and affectionately ruffled her dark hair, "It's getting late, Luo girl, accompany this king to share the same bed and pillow."

Saying this, he pushed her onto the bed without allowing refusal, then he himself flipped onto the bed.

His movements were gentle, yet carried an irresistible dominance.

Su Luo tried to refuse, but found she couldn't refuse at all.

This moody, unpredictable man! Just now, he was so furious he seemed ready to kill the whole world, and now he was smiling so sweetly. She really didn't know which was the real him.

Su Luo sighed plaintively in her heart.

Since she couldn't refuse, she could only accept it. After all, it wasn't like anything serious was going to happen, they were just sleeping on the same bed.

Su Luo simply lay flat on the brocade quilt, then rolled herself up, wrapping herself into a round silkworm cocoon shape, then rolled to the inner side of the bed, facing inwards and lying straight.

Su Luo's actions were done in one go, without a moment's pause, completing everything in the blink of an eye.

Nangong Liuyun was utterly dumbfounded watching the scene before him.

After a long moment, he leaned over her, chuckling.

He laughed more and more uncontrollably, and finally, he almost laughed until he cried.

His little Luo Luo was simply too adorable, actually wrapping herself up into a silkworm cocoon~~~

Su Luo rolled ninety degrees in annoyance, facing him and glaring, "It's late, why aren't you sleeping yet? What are you laughing at!"

However, seeing Nangong Liuyun able to laugh, the worry that Su Luo had been holding onto finally eased.

Compared to the gloomy Nangong Liuyun who seemed to have walked out of a hellish Asura field just now, the current him, although annoying, seemed much more adorable.

Nangong Liuyun affectionately ruffled her little head, but his tone seemed casual, "Little girl, do you think by wrapping yourself up like this, this king can't do anything to you?"

If he really wanted to do something to her, what was this thin layer of brocade quilt? He could tear it with a lift of his hand.

Su Luo's heart skipped a beat, feeling somewhat apprehensive. She tremblingly poked her little head out and glared at Nangong Liuyun. This guy wouldn't really want to do something, would he?

Perhaps it was something in her eyes, or perhaps the way she poked her head out was too funny, the smile in Nangong Liuyun's eyes deepened. He reached out, his long fingers flicking her head.

Su Luo's hands were both wrapped inside the quilt, so she couldn't rub the spot he had flicked painfully. She could only use her watery eyes to accuse him: "A dignified prince is actually this stingy? Isn't it just wrapping myself in your quilt? How petty!"

This girl is really good at avoiding the important and dwelling on the trivial. Nangong Liuyun's long fingertips gently rubbed her forehead with pity, his fingers tracing downwards, lightly brushing across her lips.

Su Luo froze.
