1730 What His Grace Is Thinking

　　Rong Xiu only wanted to kiss her for a while, but her lips were too soft, and her breathing was too sweet, making him almost forget to stop.

　　After a few rounds, he stopped when he heard her panting slightly.

　　He tilted his head slightly and rested his chin on her shoulder. His hot breath landed on her slender neck, causing a faint tremble.

　　His grip on her slender waist seemed to be much tighter than before.

　　He half-leaned against her, his body tense. After a long moment, he let out a long breath and couldn’t help but chuckle. “You really reap what you sow…”

　　The self-control he had always been so proud of collapsed in front of her.

　　Chu Liuyue’s cheeks heated up slightly. “Your Grace, you’re really magnanimous. You’re still thinking about this at this time?”

　　Rong Xiu turned his head and brushed his lips across her cheek.

　　His warm breath landed on her ear, and Chu Liuyue could even hear the subtle turbulence of the surrounding airflow.

　　Rong Xiu’s voice was extremely low, deep, and seductive.”…It’s been so long since you went to Godly Phoenix Mountain… I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want to.”

　　His voice was a little hoarse, mixed with his hot breath. It was especially easy to make one blush and make one’s heart beat faster.

　　However, his tone was so frank and honest with a hint of compromise, making her not know how to respond.

　　Chu Liuyue reached out and tapped his broad, leathery chest, changing the subject. “This place is dangerous. Your Highness, it’s better to be careful.”

　　Rong Xiu laughed and straightened up, holding her hand as he looked around.

　　It was dark all around, but there was a faint golden barrier around the two of them. Rong Xiu had set it up when the two of them fell here.

　　The violent turbulence around them was isolated, and the two of them were almost peaceful inside the barrier. But the most unsettling thing was that at this moment, they didn’t know where they were going.

　　Chu Liuyue said, “Ancestor previously said that a thousand years ago, he was directly sent to the Flood-Desert Northern Region. I wonder… where we will be sent this time.”

　　Rong Xiu smiled.

　　The faint light shone on his face, only reflecting his calmness and nobility. “It’s just somewhere in the God Residence Realm.”

　　His tone was relaxed and casual. It was as if he didn’t take this matter to heart.

　　Hearing his tone, Chu Liuyue couldn’t help but turn to look at him. “By the way, there’s something I forgot to ask you.”

　　Rong Xiu nodded. “Just ask away.”

　　Chu Liuyue pursed her lips slightly. “The Nan family’s status in the God Residence Realm should be higher than the Sky-Cloud Empire, right? But when Nan Yifan saw you, why was he so…”

　　She paused for a moment and thought about it for a long time. She didn’t know what to say to describe it.

　　“Do you want to ask why Nan Yifan is so afraid of me?” Rong Xiu smiled and continued her sentence.

　　Chu Liuyue nodded. Afraid… The word sounds too blunt, but it is certainly accurate. Nan Yifan’s attitude toward Rong Xiu was indeed too strange.

　　After Nan Yiyi and the others found out about Rong Xiu’s identity, they didn’t take it to heart. From beginning to end, they had been acting high and mighty. It was obvious that they were relying on the Nan family’s honor.

　　But as the head of the Nan family, Nan Yifan’s expression immediately changed when he saw Rong Xiu. After that, not only did he swallow his anger and lower his head to apologize, but he even forcibly endured Rong Xiu cutting off Nan Yiyi’s tongue in public.

　　Is he afraid of Rong Xiu? But why…?

　　Rong Xiu is the Sky-Cloud Empire’s His Grace, and he has power and a noble status. But in the God Residence Realm, the Sky-Cloud Empire isn’t the only power. I have never heard of the Nan family before, but they are clearly more powerful than the Sky-Cloud Empire. Then, there must be other more powerful clans and sects that I don’t know about yet.

　　To be able to make Nan Yifan like this, Rong Xiu definitely has other trump cards!

　　“Actually, the reason is very simple—I’ve dealt with him before. He has suffered from me, and I have something on him, so… When he sees me, he naturally has to take the initiative to avoid me.” Rong Xiu’s tone was very calm as if he was just saying something very ordinary.

　　However, Chu Liuyue was secretly shocked.

　　Who was Nan Yifan? His mental methods and strength were top-notch!

　　He had actually suffered at Rong Xiu’s hands, and Rong Xiu even had something on him. Then… It could only mean that Rong Xiu was too heaven-defying!

　　She had always felt that she was good at tricking people, but it was still unknown who was stronger between her and Rong Xiu.

　　Seeing that Rong Xiu seemed too lazy to talk about the past, she didn’t ask further.

　　She could tell that Rong Xiu really did not take this matter to heart, or rather—he did not take Nan Yifan seriously at all!

　　A very subtle feeling rose in her heart.

　　She had long known that Rong Xiu was powerful, even unfathomable; she had realized this long ago, when they first met. But now, she felt that she had still underestimated him…

　　Suddenly, the barrier beside the two of them shook violently!

　　Chu Liuyue’s thoughts were interrupted.

　　Rong Xiu looked up and ahead. “It’s time to go out.”

　　Following his gaze, Chu Liuyue indeed saw that the stagnant darkness suddenly fluctuated. Then, a bright white light seeped out!

　　The surrounding turbulence collided even more violently!

　　Rong Xiu’s barrier began to tremble even more!

　　Chu Liuyue felt the power around her begin to squeeze toward her crazily.

　　Rong Xiu pulled her into his arms! The next moment, her vision turned bright.

　　The two of them instantly flew out!

　　…

　　Thump!

　　Just as Rong Xiu landed with her in his arms, he heard the sound of something shattering.

　　The dazzling sunlight made it difficult for Chu Liuyue to adapt for a moment. She subconsciously narrowed her eyes and looked down in the direction of the sound.

　　Under Rong Xiu’s feet, a jade disk had shattered. It seemed that when they came out just now, Rong Xiu had stepped on it, causing it to end up like this.

　　Fortunately, Rong Xiu’s boots were of excellent quality and weren’t damaged.

　　Chu Liuyue heaved a sigh of relief.

　　But before she could finish exhaling, she acutely sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere around her.

　　It was too quiet.

　　The air seemed to have frozen, but there was also a strong killing intent that silently covered the sky!

　　Chu Liuyue raised her head stiffly and looked around. When she saw her surroundings clearly, she immediately gasped in shock, and her pupils constricted! This…

　　Almost at the same time, Tuan Zi—who was far away in the God-Killing Tumulus—suddenly sensed something and opened her eyes!

　　Her eyes lit up as she raised her hand excitedly and pointed in a certain direction. “A’Yue is over there!”
