Chapter 437: Survival After the Disaster 10
Seeing him like this, Su Luo became even more curious.
She pulled open the robes covering Nangong Liuyun's chest. He reacted sharply, shouting, "You female hooligan!"
However, upon seeing the wound on Nangong Liuyun's chest, Su Luo's nose stung, and tears immediately rolled down.
That chest, which was originally as translucent as jade, was now covered in hideous wounds.
The most severe sword wound ran diagonally from his left chest to his right abdomen, at least twenty centimeters long.
The flesh on both sides was turned outward, revealing the bloody gap in the middle. Having been soaked in seawater… the wound was gruesome and terrifying, making Su Luo's heart ache.
She immediately helped him sit back down and scolded him reproachfully, "Do you know how serious this wound is? Why did you keep it from me?"
Su Luo's eyes were slightly red, her voice thick with heavy sobs.
A wicked smile appeared on Nangong Liuyun's pale face. "I've finally seen the moment Girl Luo cries. It's quite rare. Didn't you know that this Prince kept it from you just so you would feel guilty?"
Even at a time like this, he was still teasing her!
Recalling how she had just punched him hard in the chest and pushed him away, Su Luo's heart suddenly ached, and she whispered, "Nangong, I'm sorry."
"Never say sorry to this Prince; this Prince doesn't need those three words." Nangong Liuyun gently stroked her face. "As long as you stay obediently by this Prince's side, you will never need to say those three words."
Su Luo knelt before him. After a moment's hesitation, she finally nodded and asked with concern, "How is your wound? What medicine do you need?"
It was a pity that although she was already a Junior Alchemist, her time in the field was still short, and her foundation was not yet solid.
With Su Luo's support, Nangong Liuyun slowly stood up. "A blood coagulation pill. There should be medicinal herbs in these mountains."
Nangong Liuyun looked up at the sky and said to Su Luo, "Let's find a place to settle down first; it's about to rain."
Su Luo looked up at the sky.
The deep blue sky was cloudless and clear as a wash; where did it look like it was going to rain?
But since Nangong Liuyun said so, there must be a reason for it.
Su Luo nodded. "Alright, we won't be able to leave this deserted island for a while, so we should find a place to settle down."
Su Luo looked at Nangong guiltily.
He was so badly injured, yet he had somehow managed to catch up and find her on this deserted island. Even in such a weakened state, he had risked internal injury to rescue her from the ice, yet she… Nangong Liuyun pinched her nose, his smile wicked and enchanting as the corners of his mouth curled up. "Since you feel sorry for this Prince, then serve this Prince well from now on. No more resisting, hmph hmph."
As he spoke, he rested his arm on Su Luo's slender shoulder, leaning almost his entire weight against her, looking exhausted as if he might faint at any moment.
He truly matched his words with his actions.
Su Luo was suddenly caught between laughter and tears, but how could she dare to push him away now?
Su Luo could only half-carry and half-support him as they walked forward slowly.
Meanwhile, the latter happily narrowed his Phoenix eyes, looking comfortable and leisurely.
After walking for a short while, Nangong Liuyun's footsteps paused slightly, and he pointed in a direction for Su Luo. Following his gaze, she saw a cave hidden beneath some wisteria.
It seemed that even with severe internal injuries, Nangong Liuyun's perception was still as sharp as ever.
"I'll go inside and take a look." Su Luo had Nangong Liuyun lean against an ancient tree and gave him a serious instruction.
A smile appeared on the corner of Nangong Liuyun's mouth.
