"Go and cook a bowl of noodles!"
Leng Junyu's words were simple yet shocking, his expression cold and indifferent. However, to Yue, they sounded like thunder.
Yue, whose face had always resembled an iceberg, looked up in surprise upon hearing Leng Junyu's request. When he saw his master's frosty demeanor, he realized that Leng Junyu was not joking. His lips twitched involuntarily.
After all, having been by his master's side for over a decade, the tasks he had been assigned were always dark and unspeakable deeds.
This was the first time he had been asked to cook noodles.
Despite feeling somewhat overwhelmed, Yue nodded lightly. With a swift motion, he sprang into action and disappeared silently into the night.
In less than half a stick of incense's time, a steaming bowl of egg and vegetable noodles appeared before Le Yao Yao. On top of the noodles sat an enormous braised chicken leg.
As she gazed at the fragrant noodle soup and the enticing chicken leg, Le Yao Yao's eyes sparkled with delight. Her mouth twitched as if she were savoring some suspiciously delicious liquid.
She looked just like a hungry little cat, her face practically screaming 'I want to eat!'
Seeing this, the previously gloomy expression on Leng Junyu's face flickered for a moment, and gradually, the tension in his features began to ease.
He didn't even notice how his own emotions shifted in response to the little eunuch's expression.
However, while Leng Junyu remained oblivious to this change, others certainly took note of it.
When Yue saw her master’s handsome face, which resembled that of a celestial being but was usually devoid of any smile, she was astonished to notice a hint of softness in his expression.
His deep gaze carried a trace of curiosity as he briefly glanced at the little eunuch in the Pavilion. Immediately, his thick brows furrowed ever so slightly, and she couldn't help but wonder in her heart.
Could it be that her master had some interest in this little eunuch...?
The thought startled Yue.
However, these matters were her master's concern, something she, as a Shadow Guard, could never interfere with.
As she pondered this, Yue placed the bowl of Noodle Soup on the stone table and quickly stepped back. With a few swift movements, she vanished from sight, her figure moving as fast as lightning, making it impossible for anyone to catch her. It was evident how high her martial skills were!
Yue's elusive lightness astonished Le Yao Yao, who had been fixated on the bowl of Egg Noodle Soup just moments before.
She hadn’t noticed Yue’s arrival earlier, but now that she was leaving, it caught her attention.
Could this be the legendary lightness skill!?
It was incredible!
If only she possessed such formidable martial arts, she wouldn’t have to worry about how to escape from here!
With this thought in mind, Le Yao Yao looked in the direction where Yue had disappeared, feeling a newfound admiration for her.
However, she had not noticed that the expression of the person beside her, which had just softened a bit, turned cold again upon sensing her gaze.
Damn it, what kind of look is he giving me now!?
When facing him, she felt both fear and trepidation, but there was no trace of admiration! Could it be that he, a dignified prince, was not as respected as a Shadow Guard!?
The more she thought about it, the darker Leng Junyu's expression became, and his mood soured even further.
His gaze towards Le Yao Yao narrowed slightly, and his displeasure was evident on his face.
When Le Yao Yao finally turned her head and noticed Leng Junyu's increasingly gloomy stare, her scalp tingled with unease.
