Chapter 429 – A new lease on life (1)
Su Luo had celebrated too soon.
Her good luck had all been consumed and used up from before, the remaining was all misfortune.
The spirit pinball exploded with a tremendous might. Li Aotian’s entire person was blown until he couldn’t be seen.
However, Su Luo had overlooked the follow-up to after the spirit pinball exploded, and this follow-up had a huge effect on her.
At the point of explosion, in that split second, one could see that in the surroundings, there was a huge wave immediately overflowing to the sky. It unfurled and swung up a huge mass of ocean spray. A crashing sound echoed, like a wild beast spreading open in all directions.
Before, Su Luo had been heavily thrown away by Li Aotian, moreover, she had slid along the smooth surface of the public square to its fringe.
In fact, at that time, Su Luo already had one foot placed horizontally over the sea surface. With only a slight blow of the wind, like the movement of a blade of grass, she would be blown into the sea water.
Furthermore, right now, it was a huge wave that overflowed to the sky, carrying with it a cold wind that swept towards her!
A shocked, terrified expression flashed through Su Luo’s eyes. Her heart was so regretful that her intestines turned green. Finished, finished…
Those fingers that broke through the layer of ice tenaciously dug into the ground at the fringe of the public square. She simply joined all of her strength and used it. If she let go, she would drop into the sea.
However, it was unfortunate that there were only two fingers that had broken through the layer of ice, and it was not her entire hand. Therefore, its strength seemed very small.
When the screams of each and every ocean spray swept towards her, Su Luo had repeatedly persevered, but she couldn’t continue to persevere on. The fingers broke away from the rock on the shore. Afterwards, she stared on helplessly, as she, in the state of an ice sculpture, with a thunderous splash sound, was directly swept up by the waves of the sea….
The density of ice was lower than seawater, therefore Su Luo, in the state of an ice sculpture, floated on the sea surface and did not directly sink to the seafloor. This was the greatest luck among her misfortune.
But what made her feel painful and tragic was——
The yacht that was just up ahead, was at a distance that was almost within reach.
But——
With one slap from the ocean spray, she watched helplessly as she was washed away. She also looked on helplessly as she floated away in the opposite direction from where the yacht was anchored. She stared blankly as she anticipated her fate, on the verge of being set adrift on the sea surface.
This was simply too heartbreaking, too depressing…Su Luo was so helpless that she almost cried.
The East Sea was vast and had no boundary, only heaven knew where she would be swept to…As long as she thought about this, immediately, two wide, noodle-like bands of tears silently flowed down on the face of the icebound Su Luo.
However, what could merely two of her fingers do? Within this endless sea, she could only resign herself to her fate of drifting among the waves.
In front of mother nature, her tiny speck of strength was completely without the ability to resist.
The pitiful her was completely unaware, that this was merely only the beginning of her misfortune.
Now, it was night-time.
In the lonely night sky, not even the remnant of a star could be seen. Even the dim crescent moon was obstructed by thick layer of clouds. All around, it was pitch-black, you couldn’t even see the fingers on your hand in front of you.
Su Luo’s heart could said to be very sorrowful right now.
Being slapped around by seawater, she was crooked to the east, then fell to the west in total disorder. It was fine if it was only drifting with the waves, but why even the opportunity to lie on the sea surface to enjoy the beautiful night scenery was not given to her?
She didn’t know what direction she was floating towards…Su Luo fell more and more into despair, gradually becoming somewhat sleepy.
Yet, when Su Luo didn’t expect it, an even more tragic thing happened.
Suddenly——
A streak of lightning, as fast as a serpent dragon, left behind a harsh radiance when time was about to change in the horizon.
Now, a bad premonition all of a sudden bubbled forth from her heart.
It couldn’t be what she thought it was, right? It couldn’t be that bad, right? Could she just so happen to be in time for the raising waves of a tropical cyclone in the ocean?
However, the most tragic thing didn’t exist, what existed was only even more tragedy.
It could be said that when a person was out of luck, even drinking water, food could get stuck in the cracks between the teeth. Su Luo was just such a model for that kind of person.
Thanks for the chapter!
😂 how is she even breathing in the ice
Packets of air in the ice?
i was wondering how can the ice can even last that long…. even an iceberg as big as a truck ment within hour in a sea.
Not totally. There was a UK project in WWII to use floating iceburgs as aircraft carriers, Project Habakkuk IIRC. The model of the ice aircraft carrier took 3 years to melt naturally.
Where did you learn about this Owl? Aren’t these suppose to be classified somewhere?
Things from WWII? lol those were declassified decades ago!
Try wiki.
that would require me to know what to look up 😉
Try Project Habakkuk.
It’s interesting what things you can learn from randomly surfing the net.
Including things like Operation Cherry Blossoms
TBH I thought you would say that she was drawing breath from her space 😃.
I never even thought of that but I think Li Aotian wanted to capture her alive so he encased her in an ice cage that would allow her to breath and live…
OMG that’s just sad…. SU LUO SURVIVE!!!!
Thanks for the Chapter
When will Nangong Liuyun come back/ reappear ? :O
Tomorrow chapters 😉
Somehow I think he’ll come back and use her current ice statue state to trap her in marriage… or something of the sorts ahahaha…..
Did you read ahead?
No…. but it’s a very Nangong thing don’t you agree?
Well Su Luo has always had a lot of luck – unfortunately both bad and good.
Thanks for the chapter.
That’s actually something really fun about DKC. Lots of Xanxia nowadays only have ‘good’ luck, while Su Luo really impersonate “may you live in interesting times” and she has ALL the luck. Both good and bad.
Yes even her misfortune is because her luck is too good 😆
Lies!, we all know misfortune for Su Luo is a sign of greater fortune to come. lol
Aaa thank you for the chapter!! I know su luo would not die.. But still oh my this is devastating my heart… Su luo ah su luo…
With Su Luo’s luck, she’ll survive and profit from it at the end. Technically, she already has by taking out Li Aotian.
thanks!
oh no, she’s in the sea—-! at least she’d floating at the sea surface…are you serious—-?! a storm!?
On the bright side, she’s in the safest place she could possibly be. I heard of ships sinking, but I have yet to hear of an icecube sinking. 🙂
The for chapter😘
Thx for chapter 😍
I just read 1-429 chapter last week. So tired but very funny I hope i will read until the end of DKC . Thank you very much “June” for a new world . Love you so much and give you a big hug.
You are welcome…Its often better to find a novel later with more translated chapters then binge reading could occur 🙂
Well she killed her enemy and is still surviving so there’s that
just said he was blown away…since author hasnt killed one of her enemies yet, im guessing his just been blown away like a canon ball
Swear to god, if he manages to survive a point blank rank 7 attack to his neck I’ll really question things
Waiting for the next chapter! I’m so excited.
thank you!! poor Su Lou!! hope someone help her soon!!
Than you for the chapters.Why is she breathing, has it something to do with the space? Why is the ice not melting, is it magical? Where is NL, how is he going to find her in the ocean? I want some line time in an island with just SL and NL where they can have romance and SL can get stronger with the books and the strange stone.
Separated again–who knows for how long. What will Liuyun think when he gets out of that place and finds her gone?
the ice is magical enough not to melt yet somehow have room for MC to breath and somehow release two fingers ? that’s hard to believe….
I don’t think magic follow scientific logic… I could be wrong 😉
Thanks for the chapter!
