Suddenly, Nangong Liuyun laughed softly. He took out a bottle and passed it over to Su Luo. “Here, take this.”

“What is it?” Su Luo looked at it with a puzzled expression.

“It’s one of Eighth Elder’s souls.” As he mentioned the Eighth Elder, Nangong Liuyun’s eyes carried a subtle feeling of cold ruthlessness. “If he dares to peel off your skin and pluck out the 1, I’ll let him have a taste of the pain of having his soul flayed.”

That’s the Eighth Elder he was talking about!

How many people in this world were even capable of flaying his soul? Yet, Nangong Liuyun talked about it like it was as easy as eating and drinking.

“You killed him?” Su Luo frowned slightly.

If the Eighth Elder were dead, it would definitely cause a stir throughout the entire Elder Association. When the moment came in which they did a thorough investigation, it would be quite troublesome for Nangong Liuyun and Su Luo.

Nangong Liuyun’s slender fingers caressed Su Luo’s face. Gazing at her, his smile deepened, “I didn’t kill him. I merely extracted one of his souls from amongst his three immortal souls and seven mortal 2. Don’t worry. He won’t harm you anymore in the future.”

“Oh?” Su Luo lit up brightly with a dazzling and curious expression.

Nangong Liuyun’s lustrously fair finger tapped Su Luo’s nose. While laughing, he said, “People have three immortal souls, distinguished as spirit soul, conscious soul, and life soul. The spirit soul dictates people’s consciousness. The conscious soul dictates people’s natures of good and evil, as well as their shame. As for the life soul, it dictates people’s life span.”

Nangong Liuyun pointed at that transparent crystal-white jade bottle and smirked complacently at Su Luo, “This contains his life soul. He will die at whatever time you wish for him to die.”

After he finished talking, Nangong Liuyun placed his hands behind his back, standing up tall and straight. He lifted his chin up slightly as if waiting for Su Luo to praise him.

Nangong Liuyun, who had been all imposing and tyrannical earlier when he was facing the Eighth Elder, was now standing before Su Luo like a child waiting to be praised by an adult after doing a good deed… Su Luo was amused by Nangong Liuyun’s childishness.

However, he was indeed amazing. The Eighth Elder had chased after Su Luo till she was left with nowhere to 3, yet Nangong Liuyun took action and instantly dealt with the Eighth Elder.

Despite that, Nangong Liuyun was indeed bad as well. It would have been fine if he’d just killed the Eighth Elder. Yet now, he’d actually extracted the Eighth Elder’s life soul to let Su Luo use it to her advantage. This was the same as making the Eighth Elder into her slave… Nangong Liuyun’s disposition of behaving like a scoundrel with an honest demeanor—Su Luo expressed that she loved it to death.

Su Luo laughed as she went up toward Nangong Liuyun and grabbed his slender arm. Clinging close to him, she raised up her small face, showing him her eyes that were full of adoration. Su Luo’s large and distinctively clear eyes twinkled with a radiance like that of stars in the night sky.

“You’re really amazing!” Su Luo praised Nangong Liuyun without holding back at all.

After being busy for so long, all he’d been waiting for was this line! Inwardly, Nangong Liuyun felt extremely satisfied and exceedingly pleased. Yet on the surface, he still kept his annoyed scowl and continued to ignore Su Luo.

“What are you doing?” Su Luo poked Nangong’s lean yet powerful hips.

Nangong Liuyun stuck out his chin in a ‘tsundere’ manner while pointing at a spot by his lips.

The meaning of that action was extremely clear.

However, Su Luo’s eyes inadvertently swept over to the little Silver Fox in a pool of blood. Her heart suddenly ached with pain, and her mood turned sour.

“What’s wrong?” Nangong Liuyun saw Su Luo’s mood change and immediately frowned.

Su Luo let go of Nangong Liuyun and slowly crouched down. She carefully cradled the little Silver Fox in her hands and gazed anxiously at Nangong Liuyun: “Do you have any way of… reviving it?”

Actually, Su Luo already knew that this was a pointless question.

After all, she was a master-level apothecary, yet she had no way at all of doing it. So how could Nangong Liuyun?

Unexpectedly, Nangong Liuyun looked at Su Luo’s eyes and said, “You really want to save it?”
