Chapter 431 – A new lease on life (3)

Also, didn’t know whether or not it was because the Heavens sensed Su Luo’s furious intent.

Not long after, the wind and waves on the ocean changed directions.

The waves started to push at Su Luo’s back, pushing her continuously forward.

Could it be that the Heavens finally grew some eyes, turning her extreme sorrow to joy?

Finally, Su Luo’s heart was somewhat satisfied.

With the help of the tides, Su Luo’s operation became much easier, the distance to that targeted black dot also become increasingly closer.

Now, Su Luo could clearly see, that this was indeed not some vessel, but rather, a not-very-large, barren island.

The barren island was surrounded with submerged rocks, these submerged rocks were regarded as the natural enemies of vessels. However, as far as she was concerned, they were of the greatest help to her.

She looked on just as the wind direction was about to change.

In order not to allow the previous tragedy to occur again, Su Luo used her two fingers to row, striving with everything she had to aim towards the shore.

Whenever the tide would send her off with a push at her back to move forward, she would borrow its strength to rush forward. And when the tide had fallen back, she had a death grip on the surrounding rocks and wouldn’t let go.

Waiting for another set of waves to send her off, she would then once again strive to rush forward with all her strength.

In this way, the cycle was repeated and efficiency was improved by a lot.

She tried hard for about an hour, and just when Su Luo’s two fingers were inflamed and about to rupture, she finally touched the beach.

After being adrift on the ocean, she now truly perceived how beautiful it felt to have one’s feet firmly planted on land.

However, even if it was just floated onto the sandy beach, Su Luo was still in that ice-sculpture condition. This was a fact she couldn’t change.

She also didn’t know how hard this icy and snowy trap of Li Aotian’s was.

For this entire night, she had been blown by the wind, battered by the rain, and with lightning flashing and thunder rolling. Moreover, there were huge waves that overflowed to the sky, and she had been ravaged simultaneously under all these conditions. Yet. this ice sculpture was still as before, without a trace of thawing.

Even though Su Luo never abandoned the idea of blowing it up with spirit power, but having tried hard for this long, she could only extend out a few fingers and nothing more. Her body was still as before, trapped inside, as if her entire body was cast in plaster.

On the sandy shore, the seawater retreated. Su Luo was lying down, unmoving, with her head raised to look at the setting sun, her eyes silently shedding tears.

How could she continue on like this?

If she stayed too long inside the ice sculpture, her body also wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

Besides, what’s more, since coming out of her closed door cultivation to now, no water and rice had entered her. Now, her belly was positively starving, that it was directly making rumbling noises.

The problem was that even if there were stuff to eat, now, her entire person was trapped within an ice sculpture, with no way for her to eat…

Alas, when a person start to have bad luck, how could they be this feeble?

Just when Su Luo was full of remorse, suddenly, she felt a shadow appear from above. Could it be that the sky would get dark this fast?

Su Luo had no other choice but to open her eyes——

How could it be possible?!

When she saw the person before her eyes, Su Luo felt it was simply too incredulous.

She only saw his expensive and full-of-noble-air, black-colored brocade robe, cut apart into pieces by the submerged rock. That peerlessly handsome face, that pair of demonically charming, peach blossom eyes that loved to smile, and also that perfect pair of moist lips…Now, it was just tilting up slightly, looking at her and smiling.

“Nangong Liuyun?!” Su Luo simply could not believe it!

This matter changed too fast, she simply had no time to react.

Wasn’t Nangong Liuyun locked in the Joyous Conjugal Room due to the Jade Lake’s Fairy’s plan? How could he possibly appear here? Definitely, it was because she had been sunbathing for too long that she was faint with blurred vision, and thus the hallucination appeared, right?

The next second, Su Luo wanted to reach out and rub her eyes, and annoyedly discovered that the her right now like a mummy, she basically was unable to move.

The corner of Nangong Liuyun’s mouth was raised in a constipated smile, and acting as if taking things seriously, he even used a finger to tap the layer of ice. Pleased as punch, he gave one sentence in assessment: “The quality is still not bad.”

Under the twilight of the setting sun, his overbearing tone also carried a touch of lazy flavor.

And also, that annoying smile on his face, even if she was transformed into ash, Su Luo was also unlikely to remember it wrongly.
