Chapter 369: Yaochi Fairy 2

Nangong Liuyun, Bei Chenying said it was rare for you to open your heart and be good to someone. Did you know that I believed him? Just a little bit, just a tiny bit more, and I would have fallen for you… Just a tiny bit… As expected, the safest way is to guard one's heart and not give it away easily.

Su Luo, oh Su Luo, have you forgotten the painful lessons of your past life? Are you going to repeat the same mistakes now? For someone who has lived two lives, you still can't see this truth clearly!

A self-deprecating, bitter smile flashed across Su Luo's face, a flicker of loneliness and bitterness passing through her eyes.

Bei Chenying noticed that although Su Luo seemed fine on the surface, her calm eyes were like frozen frost. Feeling a bit guilty, he cleared his throat to interrupt the intimate conversation between those two.

"Sister Yaoyao, isn't your appearance a bit too coincidental? We just discovered the Purple Fish Palace, and you've already followed us here?"

Yaochi Fairy paused, her smile light and charming: "Grandfather predicted a disturbance in the Eastern Sea. Calculating the time, it was highly likely the Purple Fish Palace would appear, so we came."

This brief exchange broke the ambiguous and romantic atmosphere from moments ago.

"Your grandfather truly has divine foresight. He is indeed the pillar of the Yaochi Palace; his position is unshakable." Bei Chenying said with a half-smile.

Yaochi Fairy began chatting with Bei Chenying: "By the way, did you come to fish for Purple Bauhinia Fish? Did you catch any? How about we grill some fish to eat?"

Lan Xuan glanced at Yaochi Fairy: "Bei Chen's backside was beaten by his old man until he learned his lesson. How would he dare eat them?"

Yaochi Fairy seemed to recall something, covering her red lips as she giggled.

Watching this scene, Su Luo narrowed her eyes slightly, feeling as if she were an outsider looking in.

Yaochi Fairy's way of steering the conversation toward their childhood—creating a sense that they were childhood friends who knew everything about each other while she was just an outsider who shouldn't try to butt in—made Su Luo feel slightly uncomfortable.

Seeing Su Luo's indifferent expression, Lan Xuan leaned in with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you haven't heard about Bei Chen's embarrassing incident, right? Come, come, for a hundred Purple Bauhinia Fish…"

Before Lan Xuan could finish, Yaochi Fairy cut him off. She gave him a coquettish glare and said, "What nonsense are you talking? Do you really think Miss Su could catch a hundred Purple Bauhinia Fish? She'd be lucky to catch even one, okay? You're really asking for the moon."

After speaking, she seemed to realize she had gone a bit too far and smiled at Su Luo: "Miss Su, please don't mind. I'm just telling the truth; I didn't mean to look down on you."

It would have been better if she hadn't said anything, as her explanation only made her true intentions more obvious.

If Yaochi Fairy's previous comment was like a stab, then this sentence was like pulling the knife out and plunging it back into the same spot even deeper.

At this moment, the expressions of Bei Chenying, Lan Xuan, and An Yeming were all a bit strange. Bei Chenying even cleared his throat and looked away; he really didn't have the heart to tell the truth and crush Li Yaoyao's pride.

Su Luo smiled faintly, indicating she didn't mind, and nodded to Lan Xuan: "Go ahead."

This meant she had agreed to the deal.

Anyway, Girl Luo was loaded. A hundred Purple Bauhinia Fish was nothing to a wealthy tycoon like her. He wouldn't feel guilty at all taking them.

Lan Xuan was overjoyed and shifted closer to Su Luo.
