268: Su Ru's humiliation and shock
Chapter 268: Su Ru's Humiliation, Shock
While Su Han was contemplating, Su Han's actions caused a slight stinging pain to Su Ru, and the feeling of humiliation made her feel as if all the blood in her body was flowing there, then instantly solidifying.
"This kid is usually with Ling'er. Could he also be this... unrestrained?"
The moment she thought of Tian Linger, Su Ru's heart trembled violently. Images of her daughter and Su Han together involuntarily appeared in her mind.
An indescribable feeling of shame and annoyance spread in her heart.
She really couldn't imagine if her adorable daughter had also been treated like this by Su Han... with such force.
But soon, Su Ru suppressed her emotions.
After all, she knew that now was not the time to think about those things; the most important thing was herself.
"Young Master, this servant's words are all true, not a single lie."
Su Ru lightly bit her lower lip, a thin layer of mist appearing in her eyes, revealing a pitiful look.
"Our Hehuan Sect merely wants a bit more foothold in this cultivation world where the strong prey on the weak, so that we can survive."
"Moreover, recently I heard that the Qingyun Sect is holding the Seven Peaks Tournament, and Disciples from the Incense Valley will also be coming, which is why..."
Her voice grew softer and softer.
Feeling Su Han's hand pressing down harder, Su Ru felt as if something was stuck in her throat, or perhaps she was truly feeling deep shame for her actions.
As Su Han looked at her like this, his suspicion not only didn't decrease but grew stronger.
However, he finally let go of Su Ru.
Feeling the... fragrance on his hand, he then moved his hand to Su Ru's hair, his slender fingers gently playing with her ink-like hair. His movements seemed intimate, yet carried a sense of oppression.
"Then tell me, what information did you steal?"
Su Han's tone was cold, devoid of emotion. "If you can't give me a clear answer, don't blame me for being ruthless."
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, the cold light seeming to pierce through people directly, causing Su Ru's heart to tighten suddenly, as if falling into an ice cellar.
Su Ru saw Su Han's large hand finally release her...
She secretly let out a sigh of relief, but couldn't help complaining in her heart: "This kid, his hand really doesn't know its limits, completely unaware of how to cherish and protect women."
On the surface, she still maintained that pitiful look, lightly coughing a few times, trying to calm her breathing, which was disordered due to tension.
"Young Master, you don't know."
Su Ru blinked her eyes, the thin layer of mist swirling in her eyes, looking extremely wronged.
"Our Hehuan Sect racked our brains, but we only wanted to know the general process of the Seven Peaks Tournament so that the Disciples we send can prepare in advance."
She lowered her head slightly, her long eyelashes fluttering.
"As for the Incense Valley Disciples, we just heard they would come and thought we might be able to take the opportunity to make some connections with them, and find some new paths in this cultivation world."
"Moreover, I've been on the mountain for too short a time, how could I have any substantial information?"
Su Han listened to her words, his brows furrowing tighter and tighter, as this was clearly a lie.
If she had been on the mountain for a short time, how could she know so many things between his Su Ru and himself?
Thinking of this, Su Han snorted coldly, the movement of playing with Su Ru's hair suddenly stopped, and he grabbed her hair, forcing Su Ru to raise her head and meet his gaze.
Then, he bit hard on her lower lip.
"Still spouting nonsense, it seems you really don't want to talk."
But soon, Su Han looked up at the sun which had already risen outside, thinking that Tian Linger might be coming back.
In the end, Su Han just shook his head.
"Never mind."
"There will be plenty of time in the future, I don't believe I can't pry your mouth open."
And opposite him.
Su Ru felt the slight stinging pain on her lips, and a hint of blood, feeling extremely humiliated.
"Su Han!"
"You bastard, you did this to your father-in-... Ahhh, you're making me so angry!"
Su Ru clenched her teeth, cursing wildly in her heart, but couldn't show it.
Moreover, she felt incredibly uncomfortable.
After all, their relationship was good before, and she didn't notice it. Now that she was his enemy, she just wanted to say, how could this Su Han be so difficult to deal with?
He didn't believe the lies she had painstakingly crafted!
He was like a hound with an exceptionally keen sense of smell, weighing and questioning every word she said repeatedly, not letting go of any subtle flaw.
"Is he a dog?"
Su Ru touched her lips, full of helplessness.
She couldn't help but ponder inwardly, wondering what other methods Su Han would use to deal with her next?
And just as Su Ru was full of doubts and unease, her thoughts in disarray.
Su Han suddenly waved his hand without warning.
In an instant, the surrounding space twisted violently, and strange white light burst forth, so dazzling it made people unable to open their eyes.
The next second, Su Ru only felt the world spinning.
And after she finally managed to stabilize herself and regain her senses, she found herself in a world of ice and snow.
The biting cold wind was like sharp blades, cutting fiercely at her cheeks. Fortunately, she was a cultivator and not afraid of ordinary cold.
Otherwise, being naked, she would have been frozen to death long ago.
"Take this."
Su Han threw a dress to Su Ru. Su Ru subconsciously took it, and at the same time, she looked around curiously.
Around her, there was nothing but vast white snow, a world of silver white, and in the distance were snow-capped mountains reaching into the clouds.
Snowflakes drifted down, like countless white spirits dancing in the air. The entire world was covered by this endless white, so silent that only the rustling sound of snowflakes falling could be heard.
Only a tall tower stood not far away, like a trace of human presence.
The tower body was built of huge rocks, reflecting a cold light against the backdrop of ice and snow, appearing particularly lonely and mysterious.
Su Ru's eyes were full of confusion. "Where... where is this?"
Su Han's lips curved slightly upward, revealing a barely noticeable smile, and he slowly said, "This is my Cave Heaven."
"Cave Heaven?"
Su Ru repeated in disbelief, as if a storm had been stirred up in her heart.
Descriptions of immortal Cave Heavens and blessed lands from storybooks couldn't help but appear in her mind.
"An immortal's Cave Heaven?"
Su Ru looked at Su Han, her eyes full of amazement, curiosity, and inquiry.
"This Su Han, how many unknown secrets are still hidden within him?"
"If it weren't for this accidental encounter, I probably would never have known that Su Han possesses such a Cave Heaven!"
Su Han ignored Su Ru's shock, turned and walked towards the tall tower, and said lightly, "Come with me."
Su Ru hesitated for a moment, then she took a deep breath and quickly followed.
Along the way, her eyes kept scanning everything around her. "Is this a Cave Heaven?"
"It seems a bit different from the storybooks, but it's generally the same."
"I just don't know what Su Han wants to do by bringing me here?"
Thinking of this, she looked curiously at the tall tower in front, the only visible building in this world.
"I wonder what's in there?"
