Chapter 57: Cold, Arrogant, and Overbearing

Miss Liu had already tossed Su Luo aside. Her bright, beautiful face glowed with a faint light as she gazed at Nangong Liuyun with a hint of shyness: "Your Highness Prince Jin, are you also going to the Sunset Mountain Range?"

Nangong Liuyun, dressed in a green brocade robe, was nonchalantly savoring the wine in his cup. His deep eyes were fixed on Su Luo, as if Miss Liu didn't exist at all.

"Your Highness Prince Jin, don't you… don't you remember me? I am Ruohua, Liu Ruohua. When we were at the Imperial Academy, you even guided me in my Cultivation…" Seeing Nangong Liuyun's cold and indifferent attitude, Liu Ruohua did not lose heart and spoke hurriedly.

Nangong Liuyun narrowed his Phoenix eyes slightly and swept a faint glance over her. Although he was smiling, his deep eyes appeared incredibly indifferent. After a long moment, he said coldly, "Are you finished?"

Liu Ruohua nodded nervously, cautiously observing Nangong Liuyun's expression.

According to Su Xi's words, His Highness Prince Jin was like a deity from the Nine Heavens Palace; even a single glance was a desecration. Now that she could stand face-to-face with him, Liu Ruohua felt so nervous that her heart was about to jump out of her throat.

Nangong Liuyun curled his lips. While his eyes clearly showed a smile, his pupils were cold and indifferent, and his tone carried a hint of impatience: "Then get lost."

He wouldn't even grant her a single extra word.

Liu Ruohua's face instantly turned red. She stood there stammering, not knowing what to do.

It was a rare opportunity to get close to His Highness Prince Jin; how could she let it go so easily? Who knew if there would be another chance next time?

Liu Ruohua clenched her fists and secretly encouraged herself. A bright and radiant smile was forced onto her stiff face: "Your Highness Prince Jin, do you also plan to go to the Sunset Mountain Range? Our team is as well, why don't we go together…"

Nangong Liuyun's fingers, as white as mutton-fat jade, toyed with a Ruby thumb ring. Hearing this, he raised his eyes and gave her a faint glance.

This glance was cold, arrogant, and solitary, yet also overbearing, like a sharp sword brimming with Killing Intent.

That glance made Liu Ruohua's heart suddenly contract, feeling as heavy as if blocked by a giant boulder. Her unfinished words were swallowed back into her stomach, and she dared not utter another half-sentence.

Her face turned pale, and she felt cold sweat trickling down her face drop by drop.

Nangong Liuyun turned his gaze back to Su Luo, the smile in the depths of his eyes brilliant and enchanting. His fingers, white as jade, used chopsticks to place a piece of green vegetable into Su Luo's bowl, smiling with diligent flattery: "Why are you only focused on watching the show? Eat another piece of vegetable, be good."

Su Luo really wanted to roll her eyes.

She really wanted to ask, 'My dear Prince Jin, are you trying to stir up hatred for me? Can't you see the veins popping on that girl's hands opposite us? She's dying to strangle me to death!'

But Su Luo was indeed Su Luo. Under Liu Ruohua's eyes, which were as sharp as swords of jealousy, she calmly picked up that piece of vegetable and chewed it slowly, as if it were the most delicious delicacy in the world.

Seeing that she didn't refuse, Nangong Liuyun's face blossomed with joy. He personally picked up the bowl and ladled a bowl of Wild Mountain Mushroom King Soup for her, smiling flatteringly: "Come, drink this bowl of soup too. It's tasty and nourishing, quite good."

Opposite them, Liu Ruohua, standing still like a wooden post, was so shocked her jaw almost hit the floor. She simply could not believe it—

She even wanted to rub her eyes to see clearly if this man, perfect as a deity but smiling like a fool, was truly that legendary cold-blooded killer with a deep obsession for cleanliness, His Highness Prince Jin?

Something must be wrong! So, where exactly did it go wrong?
