The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler

As this piece of rust peeled off, the black shield began to devour the surrounding energy at an even more shocking speed!

Chu Liuyue's aura surged and curled up the corner of her skirt.

A few strands of hair fell from her forehead, but she didn't even blink. She was still staring intently at the black shield!

This time, she seemed to have seen the extremely brilliant light inside after the rust fell! It was as if the dark sky had been torn apart by the sunlight—it was bright and dazzling!

It was almost impossible to look straight at!

Unfortunately, all of this happened in just a flash. Before Chu Liuyue could take a closer look, the faint light flowing on the shield had already covered it again.

Chu Liuyue didn't know if it was an illusion, but she suddenly felt that the black shield had become much heavier.

Unknowingly, pressure seemed to fall on her, but this didn't make her feel any discomfort. Instead, the force in her body seemed to be attracted by some force and began to flow quickly!

Rumble!

A strange explosion sounded.

San San subconsciously looked up, and his eyes widened in shock.

Right above them, the barrier in the sky suddenly burned! At a glance, it was almost as if a hole had been opened in the sky!

The strangest thing was that the lames were actually hanging upside down! The tips of the flames were clearly aimed in their direction and seemed to be spreading!

The burning blue flames were reflected in San San's eyes, jumping happily like elves.

His eyelids twitched violently. What the hell is going on?! Why did the barrier suddenly break, and it is burning!?This chapter is updated by ɴovel(F)ɪre

"Master!" he shouted anxiously at Chu Liuyue. If this commotion really continues, what if everything here is burned down?!

"Boss San!" At this moment, a low and deep voice suddenly sounded from outside.

San San was shocked. "Someone's here!?"

Under normal circumstances, nobody would come to Clear Water Cliff. It was obvious who would come looking for him at this time!

Looking up again, the ghostly blue flames that had opened the barrier seemed to be burning even more fiercely…

Unfortunately, Chu Liuyue seemed to be focused on the black shield and couldn't hear him at all.

San San shouted and looked at Rong Xiu for help. "Your Highness, you have to help! If others see this situation, I'm afraid—"

"Boss San? Are you there?" When there was no response, the person outside spoke again.

Rong Xiu looked at Chu Liuyue.

At this moment, her situation was clearly different. Although her eyes were fixed on the black shield, if one looked carefully, they would notice that her vision was illusory and that she wasn't looking at anything. It was like she was deep in thought, or perhaps… she was looking at something through the black shield!

"Yue'er!" Rong Xiu reached out and pulled Chu Liuyue's wrist.

Her eyes turned cold as if she had been disturbed. Almost at the same time—

The sparkling light on the black shield suddenly floated up and landed in Rong Xiu's hand.

Huala!

A burn mark suddenly appeared on his fair and slender fingers!

"Master! Your Highness!" Shocked, San San almost stepped forward.

Rong Xiu's expression didn't change. He didn't stop and held her wrist even more firmly.

The warmth of his palm spread from her skin to her heart.

Chu Liuyue looked up in realization and came back to her senses!

The ray of light quickly flew back to the black shield and disappeared swiftly. In the blink of an eye, the entire shield dimmed again.

The ball of blue flames hanging upside down in the sky extinguished almost at the same time and disappeared completely!

Everything happened in one moment.

Dong!

Chu Liuyue loosened her grip and stabbed the black shield into the ground. "Rong Xiu, I just saw—"

Just as she was about to say something, she saw Rong Xiu's injured finger from the corner of her eye.

Was this… caused by me? Chu Liuyue knitted her brows slightly. For some reason, I seemed to have fallen into a very subtle state. Everything around me seemed ethereal except for the black shield in front of me—

When Rong Xiu went to pull her, she actually knew it was him and had no intention of attacking him. However, she didn't expect that with just a thought, the black shield would give such a terrifying attack…

This was just an accident. If I had the intention to fight—

"It's just a small injury. It's fine." Rong Xiu held her hand tightly and raised his chin. "There's someone outside."

Chu Liuyue insisted on grabbing his hand and checking it. After confirming that it was only red, she heaved a sigh of relief.

"Boss San isn't here?"

"He should be here. Didn't many people see him bring people in previously? It's not even noon; they shouldn't have come out yet."

"Shout again."

When San San saw that both Rong Xiu and Chu Liuyue were fine, his heart finally relaxed but was still beating wildly. Almost…

San San stared at Chu Liuyue and the black shield in front of her with lingering fear and reminded, "Master, this thing… Why don't you put it away first?"

It feels quite scary outside.

Chu Liuyue felt helpless and amused, but she still picked it up.

When she put it away, she took a closer look.

The place that had peeled off the rust returned to its dark appearance. Other than a shallow depression, there was nothing special about it.

She pursed her lips and put it away. Only then did San San turn around and walk out.

Chu Liuyue glanced at Rong Xiu and saw the red mark on his finger. Feeling guilty, she held his hand and blew on it.

Rong Xiu's eyes darkened.

"Does it hurt?" asked Chu Liuyue.

Although this burn wasn't serious for Rong Xiu, she still felt her heart ache. Besides, this was caused by her carelessness.

Rong Xiu held her hand tightly as he walked forward.

"It doesn't hurt," he replied distractedly.

He wasn't thinking about pain.
