Chapter 703 - Negotiation (2/2)

But the purple pupils and silvery light came fleetingly, and Su Li returned to her normal state once again. But now, the restraint on her body was broken, and she was free to move. She anxiously rushed toward Xiao Luo, but in her haste, she tripped and fell on the rain-soaked ground with a big splash. She ignored the pain and got up, then continued running toward Xiao Luo.

She knelt next to him, bent over, and raised Xiao Luo into her arms.

The usual aloof demeanor of Su Li was conspicuously absent, and in its place was a warm and loving woman, hugging the man she adored, distraught and crying her heart out. Even the Heavens would have taken pity on her.

Xiao Luo’s heart ached when he saw her cry. He raised his trembling hand with difficulty to wipe her tears away. But he realized that his hand was full of blood. Even the rain could not wash away the blood completely. He was afraid of dirtying her face, and he held his hand back hesitantly before he finally lowered it.

He smiled and tried to comfort her. “Honey, don’t… don’t cry. You won’t look good if you cry… I… I’m fine…” he moaned.

“It’s none of your business how I look! Sob, sob…”

Su Li chided him, then cried even louder. She was initially sobbing softly, but now, she was bawling.

Xiao Luo was taken aback, then he smiled and gazed at her lovingly.

King Kong wiped his tears. Even he, an uncouth and insensitive fellow, could not stand watching such a touching scene.

“Your Holy Highness, please move aside!”

Ming’s icy voice cut through the air. However, it was not an order but a request.

Gently putting Xiao Luo down, Su Li stood up and glared at Ming with hatred. She said, “You keep saying that I’m your Holy Highness. Fine, then I order you to let him go!”

Ming stared steadily at her for a while, then with a tone of indifference, he said, “I regret we cannot comply with your wish!”

“You would disobey my orders?”

Su Li hissed. “Then you will only bring my corpse back. If he dies, I will die by my own hands. You can’t watch over me 24 hours a day, and I can kill myself whenever I wish. I suggest you consider this matter carefully.”

Hearing that, Ming went into deep thought.

“Your Majesty, we can’t let that brat off. He’s the great demon king that Granny Witch foretold, and this is our best chance to get rid of him!” Curisa quickly said. He was afraid that Ming would let Xiao Luo go. With Xiao Luo alive, his nightmare would not end.

“Shut up!”

Su Li shouted at him sternly. “After I restore the name of Holy Highness, you will be the first person I kill. I’ll peel off your skin, pull out your tendons, and burn you alive with fire!”

“Gulp!”

Curisa shivered, and he felt a cold sweat breaking out. Although it was unlikely that Su Li would do that after she regained her memory, she would still punish him. It was evident Her Holy Highness cared a lot about the Xiao family.

After Su Li reprimanded Curisa, she turned back and glared at Ming coldly. “Have you considered it?”

Ming said nothing. He bowed slightly to her and nodded in greeting before he turned around to leave. He sheathed his long sword and let Xiao Luo go.

Su Li felt all her strength leave her body. She had bravely negotiated with the two men from the Light Clan. It relieved her that they had finally agreed. She felt like she had just walked through the gates of hell. She was exhausted, but the outcome was worth the effort.

She bent down and kissed Xiao Luo lightly on his lips. Then, she whispered in his ear, “Live your life well and take good care of Su Xiaobei. Unless you have enough strength, don’t look for me. Promise me, okay?”

Xiao Luo shook his head as tears welled up in his eyes. “Honey, have you… have you forgotten? You promised me you would… go on a honeymoon with me…” he said.
