Even Little Muzi, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
"Xiaoyaozi, you look really beautiful!"
"Hehe, you don't look too bad yourself!"
Hearing someone compliment her, Le Yao Yao felt a flicker of happiness despite the fact that she was no longer the same as before. After all, women love beauty, and she was no exception.
As she pondered this, she heard Little Muzi continue.
"Today, you managed to escape unscathed. Thankfully, the prince saved you; otherwise, I might never have seen you again..."
Little Muzi's eyes turned red as emotion welled up within him.
After all, Xiaoyaozi had entered the royal residence at the same time as him, and their bond was undeniable.
Seeing Little Muzi like this warmed Le Yao Yao's heart. She silently vowed to herself that from now on, Little Muzi would be her family for life. No one was allowed to harm him; otherwise, she would fight to the end!
As she made this silent vow, Le Yao Yao suddenly seemed to remember something, her eyes widening in realization.
Because she finally recalled what had just happened.
Originally, the arrow of that living hell was aimed directly at her. However, why did it suddenly veer off course and strike Eight Tigers instead, just as it was about to reach her?
Although she was unharmed, she was terrified.
After all, witnessing a living person pierced through the heart by an arrow was shocking.
At this moment, she still remembered Eight Tigers's wide, incredulous eyes.
Thinking back on it, Le Yao Yao felt a lingering fear in her heart.
Even though that living hell had saved her, she couldn't muster a shred of gratitude; all she felt was fear.
If possible, she truly wished never to see that living hell again—never in her lifetime!
Le Yao Yao silently vowed to herself, but contrary to her wishes, fate seemed determined to play tricks on her!
...
That night, after eating only a small bun, Le Yao Yao woke up from hunger.
As she rubbed her flat stomach, Le Yao Yao slowly sat up from the wooden bed that felt as hard as stone.
Looking out at the moonlight, she realized there was no clock here, so she had no idea what time it was. However, judging by the moon hanging low in the western sky, it was probably around one in the morning.
She realized that she had been sleeping since noon, and now her whole body ached from the hard bed. After all, she had never slept on such a stiff mattress in her life!
Moreover, she had only eaten a braised chicken leg and a small bun throughout the entire day, and now she had no idea where those morsels had gone in her digestive system. She was absolutely starving!
Little Muzi was sleeping in the room next door, but at this late hour, even if she woke him up, he, being a lowly eunuch, would certainly not be able to find any food. So Le Yao Yao decided to give up on looking for Little Muzi and thought it might be better to just sleep until morning for breakfast.
However, after sleeping for so long, Le Yao Yao found it impossible to fall back asleep.
So, without waking anyone else, she slowly got out of bed. After putting on her shoes, she pushed open the rickety wooden door and stepped outside.
The moon hung high in the sky, and the stars sparkled brilliantly. In the dark expanse above, they resembled countless dazzling diamonds scattered across the horizon, adorning the night sky with infinite beauty.
The cool moonlight radiated a milky glow that gently bathed the earth, adding an air of enchanting mystery to the surroundings.
