Chapter 394: Purple Fish Palace 17

At this moment, the Crown Prince's face was full of delight, looking utterly smug, as if he had obtained the world's number one treasure.

He arrogantly raised an eyebrow at Su Luo and gave a sinister smile: "Stinky Girl, you're too late. The crystal purple fish is already in my hands, hahahahaha—"

The corner of Su Luo's mouth twitched slightly, with a faint, ambiguous smile: "crystal purple fish? Where is it? I don't see it. Could it be you're just talking big?"

A cold sneer flashed in the Crown Prince's eyes. He brought his hand out from behind his back, and there in his palm was clearly a purple brocade fish.

Su Luo looked carefully.

She noticed that this purple brocade fish was almost identical to hers in both size and color. The only differences were the absence of the large sea bowl in front of it and the smooth, mirror-like jade platform.

Su Luo was somewhat puzzled… Could there really be two crystal purple fish?

Seeing Su Luo frown, the Crown Prince became even more smug and arrogant. He burst into loud laughter, pointing at Nangong Liuyun with immense satisfaction: "The crystal purple fish is in my hands, hahahahaha! From now on, I will never lose to you again, never again!"

Nangong Liuyun's peerlessly handsome face wore a wantonly wicked smile as he said in a low voice, "Is that so?"

The crystal purple fish was such a Heaven-Defying treasure. The Purple Fish Palace only produced one every hundred years, and only that one existed—and that one was in his little Luo Luo's hands.

The Crown Prince thought Nangong Liuyun was pretending not to care on the surface but was actually dying of jealousy inside, making him laugh even more gleefully.

"Nangong Liuyun, oh Nangong Liuyun! You're too confident! Too arrogant! Did you really think you could get the crystal purple fish by strolling around so leisurely? That all the treasures were just waiting for you to pick them up? Regretting it now, aren't you! Hahaha—"

It was a rare chance to beat Nangong Liuyun even once, and the Crown Prince was so overjoyed he nearly forgot himself, almost going mad with excitement.

Nangong Liuyun looked pityingly at this man who was nominally his elder brother and let out a faint sigh.

How could he bear to tell the Crown Prince that there were fake crystal purple fish in the Purple Fish Palace, and that the fake crystal purple fish could… ahem.

Seeing the Crown Prince mock Nangong Liuyun, for some reason, Su Luo, who was protective by nature, felt a flash of irritation in her heart.

Perhaps even she herself hadn't realized it yet, but she already considered Nangong Liuyun one of her own.

Su Luo resolved not to let the Crown Prince have an easy time of it.

And the strategy was simple: sow discord.

Su Luo gave a faint smile and, pointing at the crystal purple fish, said to the Crown Prince, "Congratulations indeed, Your Highness. The crystal purple fish is a fine treasure. However…"

Su Luo's gaze swept around the area before finally settling on Li Aotian and Li Yaoyao. She feigned distress and sighed, "But there's only this one crystal purple fish, and the Li siblings put in a great deal of effort, didn't they? How should this crystal purple fish be divided?"

The Crown Prince was slightly taken aback.

He had retrieved this crystal purple fish from the stone chamber himself, so naturally it belonged to him. What did it have to do with Li Aotian and the others?

But… The Crown Prince instinctively glanced towards Li Aotian. Seeing the intense, gleaming light in his eyes as he stared at the crystal purple fish, the Crown Prince's heart immediately chilled. His face then darkened, his expression clouded with gloom.

Su Luo gave a faint smile and turned her face away.

Nangong Liuyun chuckled and ruffled her head.

Although he didn't care about Nangong Liujue's attitude, the fact that this girl had the heart to stand up for him was enough proof that he already held a place in her heart. This discovery made him very happy.
