Chapter 29 – This king is wholeheartedly willing
Nangong Liuyun’s pair of penetrating eyes purposefully watched Su Luo and did not speak for a long time.
He opened his mouth, then closed it. Only after quite some time did he slowly ask another question. "Have you seen a ring before, a ring with an engraved dragon on it?"
"Dragon Ring?" Su Luo abruptly cried out in surprise.
Of course she had seen the Dragon Ring, how could she forget the Dragon Ring?
In her previous life, the Dragon Ring was her last a.s.signment. And it was also because of this Dragon Ring that she could ruthlessly thwart Yun Qi one last time.
Back then, when she had been shaking the brocade box in front of Yun Qi, the box actually contained wedding rings. She had personally bought them with the intention of marrying Yun Qi.
But unfortunately, Yun Qi had mistaken it for the Dragon Ring, and carelessly fell into her trap.
At the last moment, before death, Su Luo swallowed the Dragon Ring, and immediately jumped off the cliff. Underneath the cliff, were the turbulent ocean waves.
Even if she died, she would never give Yun Qi the opportunity to obtain the Dragon Ring.
But why did Nangong Liuyun know about the existence of the Dragon Ring, enough to even ask about it?
Back then, a wealthy guest had spend three billion US dollars to set up an a.s.signment to look for this ring. What is so wonderful about this ring?
Was her spirit traveling through s.p.a.ce and time related to the Dragon Ring?
All of a sudden, Su Luo became somewhat perplexed.
"You know about the Dragon Ring?" A complicated emotion flashed within Nangong Liuyun’s pupils. His gaze closely watched Su Luo seemly afraid to miss any trace of emotion on her face.
"Indeed, I have seen it before, so what?" Su Luo’s expression had become cautious when she callously replied.
But now, if asked to take out the Dragon Ring, it would be impossible.
And even if they dissected her body, they still may not find the Dragon Ring. After all, the body that swallowed the Dragon Ring was not this current body.
"You have swallowed it before, right?" Nangong Liuyun’s expression had a touch of excitement.
She never thought that with one phrase, Nangong Liuyun would be able to go straight to the crucial point.
But why is he so excited?
Su Luo warily looked at him. The corner of her mouth upturned into a smile, her hands linked into her arms, as her pair of liquid eyes held a frosty expression.
She could only uneasily smile while observing him, and did not saying a word.
"Don’t be so nervous, how could I harm you?" Nangong Liuyun playfully squeezed her cheeks.
This girl’s cheek is pink and tender; with skin that glistened like amber, snowy white with spot of pink, it seem as if water can be squeezed out. It really feel good in my hand.
Seeing Su Luo’s frown, his pair of phoenix eyes brimmed with devilish allure and a charming smile. "Silly girl, what kind of wild things are you imagining? The Dragon Ring has spiritual protection. If it is swallowed by the host and the host did not die from immediate bodily explosion, this means that the Dragon Ring has already recognize this host as its master. Even if others dissected this master, they
Observing the pleasantly smiling Nangong Liuyun, Su Luo spread out her hands. "Sorry, but being cautious and prudent is part of my nature, it may be hard to change that."
"Being cautious and prudent is appropriate and would never need to be changed. Moreover, this king likes your ice-cold indifference that could repel a person a thousand li away." Nangong Liuyun overindulgently tapped her lovable and charming nose.
"Are you deliberately looking to be abused?" Su Luo seemed puzzled. He doesn’t want the ones delivered to his doorstep and rather pester her?
"It’s because you did not realize how captivating you are to people, silly girl." Nangong Liuyun’s deep black cold pupils exuded a faint l.u.s.ter. He took hold of Su Luo’s hand while laughing devilishly and languishly with charm. "If you are the one abusing, then this king is wholeheartedly willing."
Chapter 30 – The Dragon Ring’s approval
"Don’t change the subject." Su Luo realized that her own thoughts had been steered far from the main topic. She quickly returned to the main topic, and continue to question him. "How do you know about the Dragon Ring situation? Also, what’s happening in my body actually has something to do with the Dragon Ring?"
"It’s related, it’s strongly related." Nangong Liuyun’s gentle voice was also tinted with a hint of roguish charm. He indulgently reclined on the chair and stared at Su Luo like an idling Lord. "So thirsty."
This was clearly getting to the crucial point, and then putting on an air.
Su Luo could not stand this guy’s behaviour and snorted. But her face was overflowing with a smile that become increasing more brilliant. She cheerfully poured boiling water into a decrepit porcelain teacup. "I don’t have tea leaves, only boiled water, please make do and drink it."
"Let whom drink water?" Nangong Liuyun crossed his legs while smiling coa.r.s.ely and charmingly.
This stupid arrogant show off was really hard to wait upon.
Su Luo cursed him in her heart, but her smile became even more dazzling. "Your highness Prince Jin, please drink some water."
Who would have expected that Nangong Liuyun would be so petty to even bother. He arrogantly waved his hands and childishly tilted his head away while carrying a tone of dislike. "Not intimate enough."
This guy…!
Su Luo grinded her teeth. Her smile became even more dazzling as she stressing each syllable. "Nangong Liuyun, will you drink now?"
"Liuyun or Yun." Nangong Liuyun lazily threw out a suggestion.
Su Luo’s hand fold into fists, and dropped the teacup on the table with a "thump". She crossed her hands over her chest and languidly shoot him a glance. "Finish playing yet?" Does he really think that he wa.s.s her lord?
Seeing that Su Luo was no longer cooperating, Nangong Liuyun unexpectedly moved closer with impatience and happily smiled as he hugged her. "This Luo Luo girl is really stingy. Not even a bit of fun."
"Then go find some girl who’s fun." Su Luo ignored him, and then turned her head away.
"How could that be possible? This king will only pester you." Nangong Liuyun’s entire face smiled foolishly with a shameless "I won’t retaliate when hit and won’t retort back when cursed" look on his face.
Him acting this way, made it impossible for Su Luo to get mad.
She instantly glanced back and fixedly stared at Nangong Liuyun.
Was this really that rumored legendary callous, devilishly charming, powerful, and despotic Prince Jin?
Was this really that Nangong Liuyun who could effortlessly annihilate anything?
Was this also the second prince of Eastern Ling who had developed an advanced stage of mysophobia where a stranger could not get close? Where a light punishment would be a chopped hand, and a heavy punishment where they would become mincemeat?
This alluring and devilish charming, lazy and lecherous, all smiles, sloppy appearance, was truly truly, that aloof and remote super talented person?
This was not logical!
Has this guy’s soul also been switched? Su Luo speculated and was unable to stop herself from staring at him.
Due to Su Luo’s unblinking gaze, Nangong Liuyun’s heart become apprehensive. He s.h.i.+vered a little and weakly asked: "What do you want to do?"
"I want to dissect you and have a look to see if your soul has been switched." Su Luo sullenly replied.
"Eh?"
"What are you ehing about? Can you start explaining it now? What exactly is the relations.h.i.+p between the Dragon Ring and what happened to my body? You are not allowed to keep me in suspense." Su Luo, who was always being lead by his pace of changing the subject, looked completely at a loss.
Nangong Liuyun also felt that he teased her enough for today. If he continued teasing this girl, this girl would definitely go ballistic.
He moved to Su Luo’s side and stared at her with eyes that contained a hint of envy. "In fact, speaking of this matter it is really complicated. There really are stupid people with stupid luck."
If comparing luck, under the heavens who could say that their luck was better than Su Luo’s?
Looking at Su Luo’s expectant gaze, Nangong Liuyun mysteriously smiled. "Girl, do you even know what the approval of the Dragon Ring means?"
