Chapter 555: Emotional Crisis 2

Su Luo smiled, "Many thanks for your concern, Eldest Young Master Li, but it seems you have forgotten one thing."

"What?" Li Aoqiong's voice was rough, his attitude extremely impatient.

"One thousand green crystal stones. A dignified Eldest Young Master of the Yaochi Li Family wouldn't refuse to pay up after losing, would he?" Su Luo hooked the corners of her lips in a smile that wasn't quite a smile, a hint of nonchalance in her eyes.

Li Aoqiong's body froze completely in that instant!

Previously, he had made a bet with Nangong Liuyun; the person who lost had to bring out one thousand green crystal stones… He had been so infuriated by the Stinky Girl that he had actually forgotten about this matter.

It wasn't ten or a hundred, but a full one thousand green crystal stones; just thinking about it made his heart ache.

Li Aoqiong's complexion flickered between light and dark, uncertain and gloomy, looking absolutely terrible.

Seeing Li Aoqiong's ugly expression, Bei Chenying unceremoniously kicked him while he was down.

"Hey, Brother Li, the dignified Yaochi Li Family wouldn't be unable to even bring out this small amount of crystal stones, right?"

Seeing Bei Chen's punchable, smiling face, Li Aoqiong wished he could punch it. This Bei Chenying loved jumping out at critical moments to kick him while he was down!

Li Aoqiong knew that if he dared not to give these green crystal stones, he feared that the next moment, Bei Chenying would proclaim it until the entire Imperial Capital knew. Do not doubt it; Bei Chenying had exactly that ability!

Taking a few deep breaths to steady his emotions, Li Aoqiong stared indifferently at Nangong Liuyun, his tone steady: "I do not have so many crystal stones with me for the time being, but I will naturally have them delivered to Prince Jins Residence later. Farewell!"

However, at this moment, Nangong Liuyun's expression was gloomy. His attention was not on him at all, so he ignored him completely.

Li Aoqiong thought Nangong Liuyun was slighting him, a breath of anger stuck in his throat, making him furious to the point of near-death.

But the winner takes all; who told him to be the losing side? In the end, Li Aoqiong still gritted his teeth in hatred, clenched his fists, and led a large group of people away in a flustered, embarrassed retreat, looking exactly like Li Yaoxiang had earlier.

But in fact, he had misunderstood Nangong Liuyun.

At this moment, how could Nangong Liuyun still have Li Aoqiong in his heart? Those one thousand green crystal stones now held no attraction for him whatsoever.

His pair of pitch-black Phoenix eyes stared fixedly at Su Luo, not blinking once. His expression was overcast, making one feel as if they were standing on the edge of an abyss.

All around, it seemed as if a powerful astral wind had begun to blow.

Nangong Liuyun's ink-black eyes made people terrified and chilled to the bone.

"Cough, cough—" Seeing that the situation was not right, the three from Bei Chen turned to slip away.

They were already very experienced with Nangong Liuyun's moods. If they didn't run now, were they supposed to stay and become cannon fodder?

"Stop right there." Su Luo called out to them loudly.

"Sister-in-law, what other instructions do you have? We little ones will go handle it immediately, please don't stop us, okay?" Bei Chenying gave two dry laughs.

Su Luo rolled her eyes at him, and with a wave of her hand as heroic as a Big Sister, she said, "I won't take advantage of you all. You can take these unopened raw stones and split them amongst yourselves."

"Really?!" The eyes of the three, including Bei Chenying, instantly lit up, as if the clouds had parted and the mist had cleared, suddenly bright and open, the air fresh, with birds singing and flowers fragrant.

"Of course, otherwise why would I call you back?" Su Luo rolled her eyes at them, then pointed to that large box of raw stones, "Take these all away, I have no use for them anyway."

"But what about you, Sister-in-law?" To tell the truth, the three of them had long coveted the raw stones in this box, but because it belonged to their sister-in-law, they hadn't dared to lay a hand on these raw stones.
