Chapter 114 - A bitter kiss (4)
Su Luo gazed at Qin Ning, a grim smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. The maid at Jade Lake fairy’s side was also not so simple.
“Were they hunting you?” Nangong Liuyun’s dark eyes became increasingly malicious. His entire person seemed arrogant and aloof, emitting a dense majestic aura.
Su Luo’s smile was helpless and stark. “They were not the only group of people that was hunting me.”
What Su Luo just said had a double meaning. She raised an eyebrow and looked at the Jade Lake’s fairy with a smile that was not quite a smile. Her gaze landed on the fairy’s white, pointed and extremely clever hands.
That final arrow with world-shaking force, could it really have not left a single trace on those pretty hand that were occupied with schemes?
Within just this one day and night, it could be said that she had been surrounded by perils. If it weren’t for the goddess of fortune standing on her side; she would have died eighteen thousand times by now.
Today’s hatred from being hunted, in the future, she, Su Luo, would absolutely return it tenfold!
At this time, the Jade Lake’s fairy had a warm, soft and genial smile on her face. That smile was tranquil and serene, lacking even a ripple on the surface a large body of water, as if she was a fairy from the heavenly realm.
Nangong Liuyun’s beautiful icy eyes had a ruthless and savage light, it gazed deeply at Su Luo. Stressing each word he asked. “Who else were among the people trying to kill you?”
Nangong Liuyun, this was what you demanded. It was not something I had voluntarily tattletaled.
“If I were to say that the Jade Lake fairy’s people were also among them, would you believe me?” Su Luo employed a relaxed and mocking tone, while staring at him with a smile that was not quite a smile.
However, an earnest and cautious expression very quickly passed through Su Luo eyes.
If Nangong Liuyun believed her, then she would decide not to conceal the truth from him. She would reveal everything to him and tell him that his Jade Lake’s fairy was a snake with a scorpion’s vicious poison.
If Nangong Liuyun did not believe her…..Su Luo bleakly forced a bitter smile.
An icy light swifty flitted through Nangong Liuyun’s hawk-like eyes. He rubbed her head, that pair of red phoenix eyes becoming even more joyous and demonically alluring as they gazed at her. With an indulgent and spoiling manner he said. “Do not joke around, you must tell this king the truth.”
In a split second, Su Luo’s heart immediately dropped to the bottom, it was so cold as to reach the freezing point.
Sure enough, she had expected too much.
As expected, how could a few short days of association compete with the mutual trust developed from growing up together since childhood?
The Jade Lake’s fairy used a sweet-tempered smile to look at her. That pair of sparkling and translucent, jade-like beautiful eyes had a self-satisfied, boastful, gloating laugh in their depths.
As if to say to Su Luo: So what if I dispatched people to kill you? Nangong Liuyun doesn’t believe you. He–absolutely—won’t—believe—it!
Yes, he did not believe it.
Su Luo’s mouth raised with a hint of irony, she forcefully pushed Nangong Liuyun away, in a very light tone and low volume said. “I’m tired, I want to rest.”
Now, what was the point of saying even more? Anyhow, he believed in the Jade Lake’s fairy without any doubt.
Nangong Liuyun saw that she was in a bad mood. He thought it was because she was tired from this one day and night away. So he followed her wish and gently said. “Okay, we’ll rest for one night here, and do our task tomorrow.”
“No need.” Su Luo coldly refused.
The task he was referring to was slaughtering an Armored Back Dragon. Since her space was already opened, there was no need go and kill a dragon.
“Believe in this king, this king will definitely find the culprit!” Nangong Liuyun watched her back as she determinedly walked away, his sharp eyebrows were low. His voice was firm as if swearing an oath.
Su Luo mouth rose with a slight bitterness,
Find the killer? I had even told you who it was, yet you won’t believe me. How will you find the killer then?
Su Luo’s footsteps paused. She glanced back with a shallow smile, her smile was like that of March’s fireworks, dazzling and lonely. In a clear and indifferent voice, she said “Really, then I’ll first thank you”
Nangong Liuyun firmly watched her leaving figure from the back. His face was indeterminately flickering between clear and overcast, suddenly dark then bright. The veins of his knuckles tightened until they burst.
“Third senior brother…….” the Jade Lake fairy’s charmingly gentle and beautiful eyes were like mist moving slightly, she somewhat hesitantly stared at Nangong Liuyun.” Do you believe me?”

message from the REAL Chineses author: As for this emotional drama scene, after it is done, my speed in writing will rapidly speed up
—message from Muffin (to readers): this isn’t a message from translators, it’s the A-U-T-H-O-R, not us, so don’t complain if you don’t see 1500 chapters a day. Bye bye and yeah in other words we will continue normal pace.
nangong liuyun might think he’s a man above heaven, but in the end he’s just a normal man falling to the wiles of a beautiful girl.
I wonder how Su luo will ran away. I really want her to start her journey to OPness and meet some new guy.
second male syndrome for a male lead I haven’t even seen before at full force.
Or maybe got hitched with the Litte Meng Meng’s father~
So much agree!
Hurry up and kick that bastard Jin into a hole and find someone who isn’t a douchebag.
And i thought Nangong Liuyun was a very smart person, but that was before this Arc.
Nangong Liuyun, you are plainly stupid, did you know?
Ikr? The moment he said, “Do not joke around, you must tell this king the truth.” The only thing I heard was, “CAN’T BRAIN TODAY. HAVE TO DUMB.”
Where’s the like button? I need to click it for your comment.
Thanks. June, out of curiosity, will SL have another suitor besides the Prince?
I would love that. Sadly, I feel like even if another suitor appears, this story will eventually end up pairing her with that prince, according to its title.
We all know that, but a rival to make him for the better will be good.
bring out daddy dragon back! we want true divinity not some poser human. haha
Yes but in limited capacity because Nangong Liuyun is devious and good at interfering.
Oh well, Su Luo probably believes that she is better off alone anyways.
To be fair to NL, he gets a lot better when he begins seeing Su Luo as an equal and not as “the closest to an equal there can be”.
NL really isn’t helped by, well, never having someone who could actually rival him in his past, so his mind there is a bit askew.
What a f. idiot. Using the F word isn’t even enough anymore to express how much I despise this guy.
It’s true that it’s not easy to believe someone you just met, and it’s not a good thing to believe someone blindly out of love. But at least, he should consider what the other said and properly investigate instead of directly taking sides. It’s almost as if he’s actually in love with that Jade Bi*** instead of Su Luo.
Even if they didn’t know each other for long, didn’t he got some insight about her character already since he met her? It’s not like Su Luo would frame and blame someone she doesn’t care about without a PROPER reason. He should know that already. F. idiot.
You’re not giving enough credit to the fact that he’s known the jade lake fairy for most of his life. It’s like if you started dating a girl who then a month in suddenly said that your mother was a serial killer, would you believe her? No, you (I hope at least) wouldn’t. That being said, his reaction *was* a little too trusting of the JLF
If I was some kind of smart prince who had to cope with political schemes all my life, even if I didn’t believe my mother was some kind of psychopath, I would stll inquire into it even if that someone was someone I didn’t know. I’d also look into his background and reliability to find out the truth for myself. Whoever it is, even if you can’t believe what is said to you, you should find out the truth yourself, even if that truth sounds unlikely.
Being smart also means being practical and unbiased as you experience life, especially if you’re supposed to be a prince who is supposedly a f. smart ruthless genius, thus knowledgeable about court politics and schemes.
I agree, he’s just simply too foolish to not even held any doubt to JLF, is his title as a ruthless genius just for show?
If man can think with their brain and not below, pig can fly!
I can’t wait for the revenge plots
Run away Su Luo!!!!! Thanks so much for all your hard work!!!
Bro. You so bombed that test …
Sigh. Stupid male lead.
Please avoid that jerk at all times and may the Jade devil fall to ruin. Devil seems too light. The Witch (I would like to call her something else, but no curse words in my comments). I rather have Su Luo with the daddy dragon now if he is a widow. Little Meng Meng’s new mommy.
Actually, Little Meng Meng should BITE him now. I thought biting was too cruel, but I changed my mind. T_T
OK, I can hold off the hate for him trusting his childhood friend but at least suspect her minions of going rogue. Fairy has been a conniving bitch and putting on a pretty face in front of him for years. Her ‘sisters” could easily go off and decide to interpret the orders given however they wanted to.
Out of spite I hope she tells him she meet the divine dragon and his son and it was love at first sight. Not only that the divine dragons son generously gave her what she wanted and immediately pull her knife out of her space while saying that to show that her space is open. Rendering Liuyun speechless and useless. His original purpose of taking her to the mountain along with him being to get the dragon blood and impress her at the same time stolen by a dragon. Liuyun taking it as the divine son fancying her and her liking him. While in truth it was her simply Meng Meng and how he lives up to his name and Meng Meng thinking her his mother.
He got a hint that some man was in her heart and hurt her back in the carriage ride. His first rival unknown to him is from a past life. Still, he has boundless self confidence that he can win her easily. Having a second rival being a DIVINE DRAGON even if only in his head would certainly make him worry about loosing.
I’m shipping the divine dragon for now!
He’s also hotter based on my imagination! ^_^
Meng Meng would make a terrifying mamas boy in the future if he lived up to his dragon heritage. I’d love to see that but at the same time I want him to stay disappointing and cute.
P.S. My imagination totally agrees with your imagination.
Yeah SL x Dragon may SL x NL go down in flames
Much hotter than NL.
Daddy Drag X SL !
Welp his future suffering is his own fault
thanks a lot!
nangong liuyun you —-! how dare you not believe su luo?! what about you use your brains and think about why she would joke in such a situation?! she was testing you, and you failed the test! you don’t deserve su luo! if you love her, you should trust and believe her! that is it! su luo, you can find a better guy, go find a better guy! someone who’ll unconditionally love and trust you! nangong liuyun’s not good enough! grr! i’m going to be so satisfied when he finds out the truth! ah—! -flips all the tables and rages-
Daddy Drag trusted her, she even tells him a lie and he believes it!
Thank you for the chapter! Lol we’re all hating on NL rite now, he’s gunna have a long road getting back Su Luo’s trust and ppls support. NL you idiot!!! Plus I also ship the divine dragon daddy as the OTP lol, but I’m sure that boat is destined to sink to the bottom of the ocean.
Next chapter pleeaaaassseeee. I’m dying here thanks to this one.
P.S. : Thanks for the chapter.
Thanks for the chapter! And I would like to join the bashing of NL… It is going to be a veeery long road back for him…
P.S. I like daddy dragon too. >.<
Uu, I know it’s too much to ask…but around which chapter does NL learn the truth? Just to know for how long I should grind my teeth in anger… I don’t think the ‘fairy’ will be easily killed off, so I’m not hoping for much there.
There are hints in Chinese that he already knows from next chapter (I may not have translated it that way). As to Su Luo… her doubts will be cleared around mid 400 chapter when he made the declaration public in front of everyone including the Fairy. But don’t worry the fairy won’t drop by that often until mid 400 chapter if I remember correctly.
Huhuhu, good. Only 300+ more chapters to go… Thank you for the answer, and thank the whole team for tirelessly working on this novel <3
Yes.
We have to wait about 4 months to read about.
Thanks for the chapter!
uh oh..
SL completely lost her trust to him which was starting a little, will he be able to get it back in the future? Im starting to doubt if he really is the “king” mentioned at the title.
The corners of Su Luo’s mouth rose into a slight smile. “Leave you? Please enlighten me, Your Highness Prince Jin. When did we get together?”
I wanted her to say. “Leave you? Please enlighten me, Your Highness Prince Jin. When did I leave you? Wasn’t you who left me?”
But, I was denied…..that would have been such a big blow to him…but she just didn’t say any it 🙁
sigh I finally understood how the goddess of fortune smiles upon her so much, it’s because the lack of luck she has in love, so to make it up she gave her extraordinary good luck on everything else. poor you, Su Luo
Goodness gracious! NL, you’re being an idiot here! And especially you SL! If NL doesn’t believe you, then you should show him some evidence that JLF did it like her sisters’ corpses for example. Sigh
Nangong Liuyun need to learn that no matter what his wife well soon to be wife says be it stupid, hard to believe either a lie are the truth you have to believe
Can we get a nice guy around so we can at least pretend she will end up with someone who’s not hateful…
