Chapter 396 – Amethyst Fish Palace (18)
Her strategy was very simple, but also very effective.
With just a brief sentence, she created a crack in the crown prince and Li Aotian’s tentatively agreed upon alliance.
Having planted the seeds of doubt, the growing of roots, germination, then flourishing in maturity, were also merely a minute’s affair.
Nangong Liuyun looked at this bright, elegant and charming girl in front of him. He couldn’t help but somewhat sigh.
What’s to be done? He was very fond, extremely fond, of this girl. He simply liked her to the point of almost suffocating. He really wished he could tie her to his side, always keeping her close to him.
At this moment, the atmosphere inside the main hall was a little strange.
The crown prince was strutting around, self-satisfiedly and proudly showing off in front of Nangong Liuyun.
But Nangong Liuyun didn’t even glance at him, he was solely engrossed in gazing at Su Luo with loving, indulging and tender affection.
Jade Lake’s Fairy stared at Su Luo with hatred as well as envy, wishing her gaze could stab a hole into her face.
But Su Luo merely composedly and easily tried to drive a wedge between the crown prince and Li Aotian, attempting to make them automatically collapse and fall apart.
In this queer atmosphere, Beichen Ying softly sighed, breaking this strange calm.
“There isn’t much time left, ahead is the most important test to pass, will you guys go or not?” Beichen Ying glared at Nangong Liuyun with a look of resentment for failing to meet his expectations and impatience to see some improvements.
Up ahead was another test that was greatly related to the Amethyst Crystal Fish, but now, the Amethyst Crystal Fish was in the crown prince’s hands.
Should they take action to grab it? Beichen Ying considered this while holding his chin, he cast a glance that harbored evil designs at the Amethyst Crystal Fish in the crown prince’s hands.
The crown prince saw the look from Beichen Ying and immediately returned to his senses from his elation.
The people he took along was not many, in addition to Li Aotian and Li Yaoyao, these two temporarily allies. However, the crown prince had no choice but to admit that if Nangong Liuyun insisted on forcibly taking it, then he was certain he couldn’t safeguard the Amethyst Crystal Fish.
The crown prince coldly snorted towards Nangong Liuyun: “The dignified and majestic His Highness Prince Jin wouldn’t degrade himself to robbing other people’s treasure, right?”
The corner of Nangong Liuyun’s mouth hooked up into a ghost of a smile, he raised an eyebrow while looking towards that Amethyst Crystal Fish. In his demonically charming pair of eyes, flashed a cold-blooded expression: “You really think that is a treasure?”
The crown prince’s heart was startled, then afterwards, he repeatedly laughed evilly: “It’s said grapes are sour when you can’t eat them! I didn’t expect you, Nangong Liuyun, to also only be like this!”
The implication was that Nangong Liuyun couldn’t obtain the Amethyst Crystal Fish, therefore, he deliberately said that his Amethyst Crystal Fish was a fake. Clearly, it was because Nangong Liuyun was jealous of him.
Nangong Liuyun faintly smiled, declining to comment.
Nangong Liuyun’s careless bearing that was light as a cloud and gentle as a breeze had thoroughly ignited the crown prince’s fury, and he coldly snorted: “If I can prove that it is the real Amethyst Crystal Fish, what will you do?”
“Want to bet again?” Nangong Liuyun’s gaze that harbored evil designs sized up the crown prince from top to bottom, then sighed with a manner of taking pity on him, “Still, it’s better not to, right? You’ve already lost one thousand five hundred pieces of green-colored crystal stones to my family’s Luo’er, to bully you once more will make us feel somewhat bad about it.”
Nangong Liuyun was telling the truth, yet inevitably, there will be some people who hear the truth as an ironic remark, and the crown prince was exactly this kind of person.
This sentence by Nangong Liuyun completely stirred up the crown prince. One could only observe him coldly and solemnly, furiously shout: “Nangong Liuyun, you have bullied people intolerably! Good, good, I will bet with you! Since you just mentioned one thousand five hundred green-colored crystal stones, then, if you lose, the debt of one thousand five hundred green-colored crystal stones will be transferred to you, how about it?!”
Finished speaking this sentence, the crown prince immediately applauded his own fast response.
