Chapter 610 – Lighting up fires and looting (4)
If he had known earlier that Su Luo would emerge so abruptly, he absolutely would not have broken off the engagement.
The Empress calmly held the blue and white porcelain teacup, the forefinger that had a long, slender fingernail carelessly pushed aside the tea leaves in the porcelain cup.
“Mother Empress, what can your son, this official, do? These three thousand green-colored crystal stones, even if you kill this son, still won’t be able to take it out! You must help your son, this official!” The Crown Prince depressedly pulled at his hair, squatting on the ground. He appeared dispirited and in a difficult situation.
If he had know earlier that this was going to happen, at that time, he would not have been so hot-headed as to bet with them.
Just betting with Su Luo was fine, but he insisted on falling down twice in the same place. The second time, he lost again to Nangong Liuyun.
Unexpectedly, the corner of the Empress’s lips hooked into a cold smile: “It’s nothing more than one thousand five hundred green-colored crystal stones, why so worried?”
“Isn’t it three thousand, thousand….” The Crown Prince’s voice came to a stop, how did it change into one thousand five hundred pieces all of a sudden?
The Empress coldly smiled: “If the debt is not returned to the second child, then he will indeed be troublesome, so we still need to carefully consider that side. As for that loathsome girl, if she dares to demand payment from you? Ask her to come see this Empress.”
The Empress’s action was a model of picking on the pushover to pinch.
The Su Luo in her impression was still that good-for-nothing, love-struck fool, weak and daughter of a concubine at Su Manor from that time.
The Crown Prince, having heard this, he somewhat awkwardly said: “Mother Empress, there is something you don’t know, second brother treats that Su Luo extraordinarily different. He certainly will stand out to help Su Luo demand repayment of the debt.”
“What kind of vision does the second child have, how could he fancy a loathsome girl that even you don’t want?” The Empress smiled confidently, “Him treating that girl well, is merely to make you angry and nothing more.”
The Empress was very certain of this.
No matter how good Su Luo became, how much better could she have gotten? What kind of vision did Nangong Liuyun have? As long as he was not blind, he was definitely just toying with Su Luo. He was not really going to marry her to make her his princess.
“This…however, their relationship is really intimate.” The Crown Prince’s intuition felt something was amiss.
He had contact with them face-to-face, Nangong Liuyun’s pampering and spoiling of Su Luo clearly didn’t seem to be an act.
“Haha.” The Empress coldly laughed repeatedly, “Just because it is this way, is the reason your Mother Empress is so certain. Nangong Liuyun is merely toying with Su Luo and nothing more. You think about it, if he really liked someone, he would immediately marry her and bring her home. This kind of procrastination can be regarded as what sort of reasoning?”
The pitiful Empress, how could she have known that it was not Nangong Liuyun who didn’t want to marry Su Luo. Nangong Liuyun was only too eager to marry Su Luo and get her home to hide her away.
But, the problem was, Su Luo wanted to enjoy the pleasure of being chased, how could she so easily let herself be married off? The real person who did not agree to this was Su Luo.
“As for the second child’s crystals stones, Mother Empress will get your father to personally step in. Just say that this was merely a joke among brothers.” The Empress did not feel that this matter was all that troublesome.
“This way is really okay?” The Crown Prince was somewhat disbelieving, this could really be so easily resolved?
“Don’t tell me that the second child will insist on demanding these crystal stones from you? You, however, are the Crown Prince, the future master of this empire. What can Nangong Liuyun be considered compared to you?” The Empress glanced at the Crown Prince with certainty.
The Crown Prince originally was very afraid of Nangong Liuyun, but being told by the Empress of these facts, he suddenly felt that there was nothing about Nangong Liuyun to be afraid of.
What Mother Empress said was not wrong, in the future, this entire empire will be his. Why would Nangong Liuyun even dare to ask him for the crystal stones?
The Empress coldly shot the Crown Prince a glance: “You ah, just don’t have enough self-confidence. Also, you are not too tough, so often would always be pressed down by Nangong Liuyun’s imposing manner. In the future, you must remember, in front of Nangong Liuyun, you must keep your head high and chest out for me!”
Thx for chappy~~
This Empress is going to be the death of her son…
I was thinking exactly the same thing.
Yeah, the highest heads around NL tend to go missing when he’s annoyed.
Seconded this~
Thanks for the chapter~! The Empress is going to regret that…
It really shows that she is his mother, the stupidity is running in their veins lol
god im laughing so hard at the implication and what is going to happen i kinda feel sorry for the crown prince now if only he was born with half a brain he would ignore his mother
Nah He will just be killed for real, if the royal family thinks that the crown prince can do anything and get away with it specially if it concers with NL’s interest, NL is capable of doing atrocious things toward his family members without blinking and the public will praise him.
and Empress just will be regret it later… and i will reading with smirk in my face..
She’s gonna regret telling her son that and not believing that the second prince loves Su Lou
Even with the evidence in their faces, look at how long pretty much everyone else took to see that he really does love her. It seems pretty freaking obvious all the time, and yet they kept saying ‘It isn’t true’.
Can’t fault her for not believing though, Su Luo broke the norms in so many ways.
First there’s her insane cultivation speed (reminder that she’s faster than NL, who many considered to be the fastest genius so far and isn’t the #1 strongest only because he’s still young), with a ‘high purple’ potential.
Then she’s qualified for Apothecary (fire + wood)
Adds in that she’s a space mage (rarer than apothecary, although it might be because everyone want to mindbreak them to make them their own slaves like what the Jade Lake maid said)
The spirit water spring (her dad tried so hard just to get that tiny bottle, she’s got infinite supply that she throw around like tap water)
Meng Meng on top of it all (so in a way she’s protected by a heavenly dragon)
Admittedly Meng Meng and her spirit spring came later, but her spec upon unlocking her power after being suppressed by the dragon ring is still high purple potential, wood fire elements and space mage.
You dead (@π@)
This will most likely boil down to “you dare kill me? You can’t cause family” and NL being all “screw off! I got my lady, that’s all i need” and the empress or king being all “she just a gold digger, you stay with her you no longer royal” and NL not caring.
Yeah its gonna go like this (probably(in my opinion) empress- why are you helping this loathsome girl NL- because she’s my luo girl ah empress- she must have seduced you she’s trash NL- are you doubting this king humph humph And then hell have a tantrum and kill her along with the crown prince but not til after he makes her suffer
Actually NL can’t harm the crown prince because of some oath years ago
Yeah, we really need the details of that oath, because I doubt Su Luo took it, and she can kill him if the oath doesn’t prevent all Nangong Liuyun’s people from killing Liujue.
Their stupidity and ignorance run strong in their veins. I wonder when they get knocked off?
Ignorant idiot. They’re gonna get smashed.
Thanks for the chapter!
Thanks for the chapter!!! Damn…I sooooo can’t wait to see that empress lose face. Once she’s proven wrong about so many things😂😂😂😂😂

Ha oh man, that mother’s head is too high up in the clouds. Let’s see how she’ll react when all her son’s stuff is destroyed lol
Thanks for the chapter!
Thanks for the chapter! Maybe this is the moment where SuLuo will obtain a new level?
Haha can’t wait to see her reaction when she’s proved wrong 😂😂 if she was wiser he would’ve given the crystal stones to SL instead 😂😂
Thanks for the chapter!
And while you say this, your city burns.
*sighs* why don’t she just kill him already
