Chapter 271: Prince’s Mansion (8)

However, before she could even feel happy, her hand was suddenly pulled over by him in his sleep.

Even in pain, even in his sleep, his strength remained astonishingly great.

Su Luo had no time to react; she had already fallen into his arms, pressing heavily against him.

Nangong Liuyun let out a muffled groan from the impact, but he firmly held her, turned over, and fell into a deep sleep.

This time, Nangong Liuyun just held her, holding her tightly without any other movements.

His arms were strong and powerful, as hard as iron pincers. Su Luo tried several times to pry his fingers open, but it was all in vain; she couldn't budge them in the slightest.

Nangong Liuyun seemed to be sleeping very deeply, his breathing long and steady, though his brows were still slightly furrowed.

Su Luo stopped struggling. A hint of tenderness, which even she herself hadn't noticed, flashed in her eyes as she looked at him.

This man was in such pain, and it was rare for him to be able to fall asleep; how could she bear to wake him?

Su Luo pulled up the quilt and covered him snugly, then found a comfortable position in his arms and looked up at his face.

Long, thick eyelashes, a handsome, straight nose, and thin lips; his features were as exquisite as if they had been meticulously carved by a Great Master-level sculptor, devastatingly handsome.

Yet, even in his sleep, he was not at peace. His brows were furrowed into a "川" shape. Thinking of his unparalleled strength and his lofty status, a pang of pity touched the place closest to Su Luo's heart.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Su Luo.

She suddenly remembered that she had forgotten something very important.

Do you remember why the Little Divine Dragon was so desperate to stay with her, and was tricked by her into coming? That's right, the heavenly spirit water.

Since the heavenly spirit water had such a huge attraction for the Little Divine Dragon, it was enough to show that it was a supreme treasure. She just didn't know if it would help with Nangong Liuyun's pain.

However, the situation couldn't possibly get any worse than it was now.

Su Luo took out a small cup of heavenly spirit water from her space and held it carefully. Then, she called out in a very, very soft voice: "Nangong, wake up."

"Hmm." Nangong Liuyun hugged her tighter and responded in a low voice, dazed and confused.

Su Luo pushed him again, very, very carefully: "Come on, drink some water. It might make you feel more comfortable."

In his half-asleep state, Nangong Liuyun obediently opened his mouth.

Su Luo cautiously fed him the small half-cup of heavenly spirit water.

Su Luo didn't dare to feed him too much at once, fearing something might go wrong.

After drinking the water, Nangong Liuyun fell into a deep sleep again, but he still held onto Su Luo and wouldn't let go.

Su Luo gently wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth with her sleeve, then carefully observed his expression.

After some time, his furrowed brows finally relaxed, and he seemed to be in less pain.

Seeing this, Su Luo was very happy. She rested her chin on one hand and looked at him with a beaming smile.

The rain outside was falling even harder.

Thunder roared continuously.

In this man's arms, without realizing it, Su Luo fell into a deep sleep.

Su Luo slept very deeply this time. By the time she woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.

Opening her eyes, she quietly stared at the ceiling as the memories of last night flooded in like a tide.

Nangong's teasing, Nangong's rage, Nangong's pain… one thing after another, they came rushing in, filling her clear head completely.

Her last memory was of his handsome face, now relaxed.

Su Luo sat up abruptly. When she turned her head to look, that man's figure was no longer on the bed outside.
