Chapter 74: Subduing the Adorable spirit pet (1)

Countless Demonic Beasts came charging over, their Aura surging, filled with murderous intent!

Two legs simply could not outrun the four-legged Demonic Beasts, and even if one managed to run outside, it would not necessarily be safe.

Nangong Liuyun's eyes held a deep chill; he picked up Su Luo, turned, and flew to a small treehouse not far away.

Liu Ruohua and the others also followed Nangong Liuyun's example, using their hands and feet to quickly climb up the thousand-year-old trees, clutching the branches tightly, hoping to hide from this Demonic Beast Tide.

Yaochi Fairy turned back to look at Nangong Liuyun from afar. Seeing his figure holding Su Luo, her elegant and bright beautiful eyes seemed to be covered in a layer of mist, and no one could see the meaning hidden deep within those pitch-black eyes.

Her face was calm, her red lips curving into a faint smile.

Yaochi Fairy flew away, graceful and elegant, her demeanor refined.

The dozen or so maidservants beside her looked as if they were shrouded in ice, shooting cold glares at Su Luo before flying off as well.

Su Luo's delicate brows furrowed slightly; her intuition told her that Yaochi Fairy's smile was a bit… mysterious.

Sure enough, not long after she flew away, suddenly, countless vultures in the sky surrounded them.

The Vulture King seemed to have targeted Yaochi Fairy, its attacks fierce, vicious, and cruel.

The Vulture King was a seventh-rank Demonic Beast, and a flying one at that, making it harder to deal with than a terrestrial Demonic Beast of the same rank.

At this moment, Yaochi Fairy's situation looked extremely perilous.

The Vulture King kept chasing Yaochi Fairy, refusing to let go. Just as it looked like Yaochi Fairy was about to perish under the Vulture King's talons—

Complex light overflowed in Nangong Liuyun's starry eyes, his expression flickering between light and dark, unfathomable.

Suddenly, he pulled Su Luo into his arms and planted a heavy kiss on her smooth, jade-like forehead. His expression was as grave as frozen frost as he said to Su Luo, "Be good, wait for me here! Don't go anywhere."

Before the words had even faded, without waiting for Su Luo's reply, his body had already soared into the air, rushing toward Yaochi Fairy's location as fast as lightning.

"Nangong Liuyun, you keep saying you like me, but in the end, she is still more important in your heart."

A faint, bitter smile curled at the corner of Su Luo's mouth. Even she herself did not know that this bitter smile was mixed with a hint of astringency.

Now Su Luo finally understood why Yaochi Fairy had smiled so meaningfully earlier.

This woman was top-tier in both appearance and martial arts, possessed deep schemes and calculations, and had an extraordinary family background… Heaven really favored her, giving her such unique advantages.

Sure enough, someone like that was the perfect match for Nangong Liuyun. What was she, Su Luo, a disregarded Trash concubine-born daughter of the Grand General's estate, compared to her?

Su Luo gave a cold smile, cast aside her negative emotions, and began to look around the small treehouse.

The small treehouse was very clean, with about ten square meters of space. Inside, apart from a mat placed on the floor, there was nothing else.

Su Luo sat quietly in the small treehouse.

Perhaps it was because solitude makes one lonely, but at this moment, Su Luo felt a deep sense of frustration in her heart.

In her previous life, she was a gold-medal assassin, holding a position that blended into the crowd; for her, the vast majority of people were just symbols.

But ever since she arrived in this world, she often felt a sense of frustration.

Here, she was just an ordinary person. She could rely on the skills from her previous life to defeat the first-rank Su Wan, but if she were to truly fight the second-rank Su Xi, she might not necessarily win.
