Chapter 69: Sunset Mountain Range (6)

Everyone gazed at Nangong Liuyun with adoration. When Liu Ruohua and another girl, Li Wan, looked at Nangong Liuyun, their eyes were filled with even more sparkle and obsession.

"Cut it off." Nangong Liuyun’s features were as beautiful as a painting and his eyes were like cold stars as he gave the command indifferently.

With the crisis averted, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their hearts finally at ease… Liu Weiming wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and ran forward excitedly. He carefully sliced off the Jade Horn and respectfully presented it to Nangong Liuyun with both hands. Suddenly, he hesitated slightly: "Your Highness, you… you want this Jade Horn?"

For an expert of Prince Jin's caliber, this Jade Horn shouldn't be very useful, right?

Nangong Liuyun looked up and glanced at him.

Liu Weiming felt as if a giant boulder was blocking his chest, making it so heavy he could barely breathe.

He cowered and clutched his chest, unable to utter another word.

Nangong Liuyun glanced at him indifferently before handing the Jade Horn to Su Luo. He raised an eyebrow slightly, his expression filled with boundless indulgence as he smiled tenderly: "It looks quite nice. Take it and play with it as you like."

"I don't want it." Su Luo looked at him calmly with her clear eyes and refused bluntly, "No reward without merit."

She didn't want it?! Liu Weiming and the others felt as if their hearts were bleeding!

Had this girl's brain been fried by fear? This was the Jade Horn of a Savage Serpent—a Jade Horn!

Countless people risked their lives to obtain it, yet she actually said she didn't want it!

It truly was infuriating to compare oneself to others.

Why was Prince Jin so good to her? Liu Ruohua bit her lower lip so hard she nearly crushed her teeth; she was almost driven mad with jealousy.

Nangong Liuyun still wore a smile full of indulgence as he gently rubbed her head: "If you don't want it, then just throw it away. It's not like it's some valuable trinket anyway."

Thro—throw it away?

In an instant, almost every gaze focused on Su Luo's fair hand holding the Jade Horn. Their eyes clearly showed they were waiting for her to throw it away immediately.

Seeing their eager expressions as if they were about to drool, Su Luo found it amusing. However, she said, "In that case… fine. I'll keep it for you for now. You can take it back whenever you remember."

Nangong Liuyun remained noncommittal.

As soon as those words were spoken, the disappointment felt by Liu Weiming and the others was palpable.

Nangong Liuyun exuded a faint chill, his expression indifferent and aloof as he looked coldly at Liu Weiming. "The Inner Core."

Liu Weiming's face remained calm, but he was secretly lamenting in his heart.

With Prince Jin's level of strength, would he really care about a Savage Serpent's Inner Core? He had originally intended to take the Inner Core amidst the chaos, as it was their quest item.

But since Prince Jin had asked for it specifically, how could he dare to embezzle it?

After digging out the Inner Core and washing it clean, Liu Weiming placed it into a White Jade Box and respectfully handed it to Nangong Liuyun.

Liu Weiming summoned his courage and asked weakly, "Your Highness, this Inner Core… would you be willing to sell it?"

However, to their jealousy, Nangong Liuyun once again directly tossed the jade box to Su Luo.

He didn't say a word, yet it was the best possible answer.

"But… but that's our quest item, and we were the ones who lured the Savage Serpent here!" Liu Ruohua shouted indignantly.

She felt it was too unfair. Su Luo hadn't even lifted a finger and had just stood there watching the show, yet all the spoils of war had ended up in her possession. How could she possibly swallow this? How could she possibly swallow this? How could she possibly swallow this? How could she possibly swallow this?
