Chapter 481 Life and Death 9

It's still a long way off until her strength grows enough to destroy the Li family, but at least, during this time, she gave him a promise.

"What are you laughing at?" Su Luo asked suspiciously, seeing him smile a bit foolishly.

"Laughing at you, this girl, reaching for the stars when we don't even know if we can get out of here yet." Nangong Liuyun flicked Su Luo's forehead in a good mood.

"Ouch." Su Luo covered her forehead, gave Nangong Liuyun a glare, but then followed suit and laughed, her smile as beautiful as a blooming flower.

When she was with Yun Qi in her previous life, he was always gentle and never teased her; their way of getting along was as plain as water.

Originally, she thought this was the normal way for lovers to interact, but now, Nangong Liuyun's appearance had completely overturned her ideas.

So this is what it feels like to be protected and pampered… It was strange and unfamiliar, yet it made her heart bloom with joy.

"What are you thinking about? Looking so pleased with yourself?" Nangong Liuyun sat down beside her, his palm still near her Lingtai acupoint, ready to protect her at any moment.

Su Luo smiled, "Of course, I'm laughing at you."

"Laughing at this King?"

Su Luo nodded seriously: "It wasn't easy for you to be born into such a good life. Look, status, talent, martial arts, looks… which of these did God not heavily favor you with? But you, this fool, gave it all up just like that, actually running here to die with me. There's no other fool in this world as foolish as you."

Nangong Liuyun snorted twice, unconvinced: "If this King is a fool, then you're a blockhead."

"Nonsense." Su Luo retorted indignantly.

Nangong Liuyun explained to her seriously: "You clearly had no strength but pretended to be strong, knowing full well that Li Aotian wanted to kill you, yet you dared to deliberately lure him away and leave the chance of survival to this King. Tell me, what kind of melon is your type if not a blockhead? A dumb melon?"

Speaking of this matter, Nangong Liuyun's heart was particularly complex, with anger and sweetness coexisting.

He wished he could grab Su Luo by the butt and spank her hard a few times to teach her a profound lesson, making her cherish herself more in the future.

Yet, because of her concern for him, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, and his mood was excellent.

Leaving the chance of survival to others? Su Luo secretly stuck out her tongue, she wasn't that great, was she? Clearly, this was the best plan, because only if Nangong's cultivation recovered would they have a chance to win.

Seeing Nangong Liuyun's smug and delighted expression, she really didn't have the heart to expose the truth.

Around them were golden flames, fire snakes dancing wildly, the heat so intense it could almost turn people to ashes.

In such a dangerous situation, the feelings between the two also rapidly warmed up.

Su Luo felt a bit uncomfortable and pushed Nangong Liuyun: "I can't move anymore, you go look around and see if there's another way out."

Nangong Liuyun was extremely worried about Su Luo. He shook his head: "No, this King will carry you, we'll go together."

Not long ago, he had deeply tasted the pain of nearly losing her, so how could he possibly leave her alone in the fiery cave now?

Before Su Luo could react, Nangong Liuyun had already placed her on his shoulder.

Lying on his strong and powerful back, feeling the warmth radiating from it, Su Luo suddenly felt a sense of security for no reason.

It felt as if lying on his back was like growing under a towering ancient tree; with him sheltering her from wind and rain ahead, she didn't need to worry about anything, didn't need to fear anything anymore.

As he slowly moved forward, a sentence suddenly came to Su Luo's mind, something she had seen in a magazine once, words spoken by Kuang Kuang.
