Chapter 490: Leaving the Fire Domain 8

When Su Luo woke up again, she found herself lying in Nangong Liuyun's arms.

Opening her eyes, what met her sight were blue skies, white clouds, green grass, and lush meadows. The air was fresh and natural, without any scorching heat. Su Luo suddenly sat up in surprise.

"Thump—" Nangong Liuyun was leaning over to wipe her face, and since she sat up without warning, their heads collided.

"Ow—" She clutched her face and nose; the collision between her nose and forehead was incredibly painful and stinging.

Nangong Liuyun amusedly helped her rub her forehead. His deep eyes were charming and enchanting as he asked softly, "How is it? Does it still hurt?"

As he rubbed, a stream of cool Spiritual Energy was infused into her. The burning pain Su Luo felt earlier instantly vanished.

"Much better." Su Luo patted her slightly dizzy head and looked around. "Are we out?"

She was very familiar with this place. Back then, she had been beaten until she spat blood by Li Aotian, fleeing all the way toward the Fiery Cave while being struck repeatedly. How could she possibly forget this path?

Yet in such a short time, things had changed. Li Aotian was dead, while they had come out of the Fiery Cave alive.

"What day is it today?" Su Luo didn't know how long she had been unconscious.

Nangong Liuyun understood the meaning behind her words and said, "Don't worry, there are still two days until the scheduled match."

In other words, she had slept for a day and a night?

She still remembered that Nangong Liuyun's luxury cruise ship had taken a day and a night to travel from the coast to Bauhinia Island. Later, she had drifted with the current for another night before reaching this isolated island.

Now they didn't even have a raft; she was afraid they wouldn't make it in time.

"Is it absolutely necessary to go?" Nangong Liuyun gazed at Su Luo earnestly. On his handsome, sharply defined face, his beautiful eyes were as deep as a mirror-like lake.

According to his thinking, he could just send someone to take out Su Qing directly. Why go through all that trouble?

Su Luo raised her eyebrows and looked at him calmly, her tone serious. "This is my first battle in public; I must be there."

If her strength hadn't been exposed, it would be fine, but since it already had been, she might as well show it off openly to prevent those people from continuing to trample over her like a weed.

"Since you are so insistent, this King will naturally help you achieve your wish." Nangong Liuyun looked at her with a smile, casually picked up a piece of driftwood, and pulled her toward the seaside.

Just this piece of driftwood? Su Luo looked up at Nangong Liuyun in confusion.

At this moment, his handsome face was fair, his nose bridge high, and his features were like natural carvings—sharp and distinct. He was so breathtakingly beautiful and enchanting that one could hardly look away.

Nangong Liuyun held her hand, his posture tall and straight, walking as if flying. They soon reached the beach.

He casually threw the half-meter long, quarter-meter wide piece of driftwood into the sea.

"We aren't making a raft?" Su Luo still felt it wasn't safe upon second thought.

"Do you trust this King?" A smile played at the corners of Nangong Liuyun's eyes and brows as he looked at Su Luo earnestly.

"I trust you." Su Luo's eyes were as black as ink, shining brightly.

"Then believe in me to the end. This King will prove to you just how correct your choice was." Nangong Liuyun gripped her hand, soared into the air, and shot toward the drifting piece of wood in the distance.

Soon, he landed steadily on the driftwood with Su Luo.

"Let's go." Nangong Liuyun laughed heartily at her, holding her hand as the two of them stood one behind the other on the driftwood.

With Nangong Liuyun's command, that piece of driftwood, bearing the weight of two people, suddenly acted as if it had a heavy motor installed, speeding forward.
