After the two of them had eaten and drank enough, Nangong Junxi also went back to his Qingxiao Pavilion to rest. ∑? ? Seeing that Le Yao Yao had come back, Leng Junyu didn't say anything to Le Yao Yao, he just turned around and walked towards his room. Moreover, looking at Le Yao Yao's busy little figure, Leng Junyu felt that a corner of his heart was missing and finally came back... Le Yao Yao is not clear about Leng Junyu's inner thoughts, just in After packing up his things, he retreated. After all, it was late at night and she hadn't even taken a shower yet! You know, her current identity is that of a fake eunuch, and no one should know that she is a woman. In the past, when she was still living in the servants' room, bathing was particularly troublesome because she couldn't take off her clothes and fetch water for a bath as soon as she came back like other little eunuchs. Therefore, every time she would choose to take a bath alone in a private place in the dead of night. It's different now, she has moved into the Elegant Breeze Pavilion. In Elegant Breeze Pavilion, you not only have your own elegant room, but also a nice place to bathe. In addition, only Living Yama lives in Elegant Breeze Pavilion now, and there is no one else besides the two Shadow Guard and her. Therefore, Le Yao Yao every time late at night, after the living Yama falls asleep, he brings all his clothes and goes to the bathroom in the backyard of Elegant Breeze Pavilion. Speaking of this bathroom, it is actually very simple. It is just a small partition with a wooden door closed. Except for a thin wooden door in the middle, there is nothing above and above it. In this case, not only the people outside will see the people inside, but the people inside will also be able to see the situation outside at any time. Of course, people outside can only see the feet and head of the person inside.
In this place, usually only Mei and Xing would rush in to take a quick shower after completing their tasks outside.
Most of the time, they preferred to return to their own rooms for a bath.
At this moment, deep into the night, Le Yao Yao was walking around, carefully observing the surroundings of Elegant Breeze Pavilion.
She noticed that everyone had already fallen asleep; even those who were still awake wouldn’t come here. With that realization, she felt relieved.
First, she placed her change of clothes in the bathroom, then drew a few buckets of cool water from the nearby well to fill the large tub inside before setting down the water buckets and closing the bathroom door.
Since it was summer, taking a cold shower in such weather was perfect.
After a long day of hard work, Le Yao Yao just wanted to wash up quickly and go to bed.
Thus, she showered quickly, not paying attention to what was happening outside.
It wasn’t until she heard sudden footsteps that her senses heightened. When she saw the tall figure that had somehow gotten so close, her heart raced in shock, and her eyes widened.
Mei and Xing had appeared outside the bathroom without her noticing, and it was clear they had seen her bathing inside.
However, they didn’t seem to mind at all; after all, they were all "men." Xing even had one hand resting on the wooden door of the bathroom, looking as if he intended to push it open.
Upon seeing this, Le Yao Yao felt as if her heart might leap out of her throat.
Her pretty face turned pale in an instant, her beautiful eyes wide with shock as she screamed.
"Ah—what are you going to do?!"
"Uh, Xiaoyaozi, do you really need to be so dramatic? This is the bathroom, and we came here to take a shower. Please open the bathroom door and let me and Mei in!"
Seeing Le Yao Yao's shocked expression, Xing merely furrowed his brows lightly and spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
After all, this bathroom wasn't too big or too small; it was just right for three people to shower together. However, the wooden door was locked from the inside by Le Yao Yao, so Xing couldn't open it. He turned to her and said,
"But Le Yao Yao wouldn't agree; she wasn't crazy!"
Thus, after being startled by Star and Mei's sudden appearance, Le Yao Yao quickly responded after regaining her composure.
"You, you guys wait a moment! I'm almost done washing..."
"Is it really that much trouble? We're all men here; why are you being so fussy? Just open the door! Mei and I just went out to do some work, and now we're all dirty and uncomfortable!"
As Xing spoke, he kept knocking on the wooden door.
In truth, with Xing's martial skills, he could easily smash the Carved Wooden Door with a single blow. But this was the Royal Pavilion of Elegant Winds, and he didn't want to go overboard. So he simply knocked on the door, urging Le Yao Yao to let them in for a shower.
After all, he and Mei had been investigating the Heart Extraction Incident earlier and had accidentally fallen into a swamp. Although they were fine, they had gotten quite muddy and felt filthy.
Both Star and Mei were cleanliness freaks who couldn't stand being dirty.
So upon returning, they intended to wash themselves off in the bathroom but found someone already inside at this late hour.
And with their knocking going unanswered from within, Xing began to feel a bit impatient.
After all, Xing was straightforward; he said whatever came to mind. Unlike Mei, who was more delicate in her thoughts.
Le Yao Yao was even more frightened upon seeing Xing in such a situation. She had originally planned to get up and put on her clothes, but earlier, fearing that her clothes would get wet, she had placed them far away. Now that Xing was there, and given his tall stature, Le Yao Yao could only press her bare body against the wooden bathroom door, terrified of being seen by him.
Xing's words made her feel even more like crying, yet she stubbornly refused to open the door.
Perhaps sensing that Le Yao Yao would not open the door, Xing huffed in frustration, his expression difficult to read as he tried to understand her thoughts.
After all, weren't they both 'men'?
In the end, it was Mei Xin who noticed something. With a glimmer in her deep black eyes, she pulled the still-fuming Xing aside and whispered in his ear.
“Xing, don’t make it hard for her. I know some eunuchs feel insecure because they lack the ability to be men and are afraid of others seeing them…”
“Oh, I see. I actually forgot about that…”
Upon hearing Mei Xin's words, Xing suddenly realized.
He then looked at Le Yao Yao with an expression no longer filled with rage, but rather with an apology.
“Alright then, you wash up. I'll just wash outside with Mei.”
With that, he immediately reached out and swiftly removed his clothes, revealing his tall figure completely before Le Yao Yao's eyes.
Mei Xin beside him didn’t mind being outside the bathroom either; she followed suit and took off all her clothes as well.
After all, this was the Elegant Breeze Pavilion. Usually, there wouldn’t be any other servants around at night, and now it was just the three of them. So even if they were completely undressed, no one would see them.
However, even if someone did see them, it wouldn’t matter much to them.
However, that does not mean Le Yao Yao is included!
Le Yao Yao, who was originally quite nervous, thought Xing would be furious. Without a second thought, she slammed the wooden door open. To her surprise, Mei whispered something in Xing's ear, and immediately his attitude changed; he even apologized to her.
This left Le Yao Yao somewhat puzzled.
However, she didn’t dwell on it too much.
As long as they didn’t come in again, that was all she hoped for. Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, her attention was suddenly captured by the scene before her.
In truth, she was a very innocent girl; she would swear on her life that it was true.
Back in her senior year of high school, she had never even held a man's hand.
Of course, she was somewhat curious about the relationship between men and women.
But really, it was just curiosity.
So when the girls in her dormitory brought back some men's magazines, she would secretly take a look at them.
After all the editing effects, the men in those magazines had well-defined muscles and perfect figures that made one feel restless.
But now that she was here, Le Yao Yao realized that the men around her were far more impressive than those in the magazines.
Moreover, while she used to gaze at lifeless images, now there were real men walking right in front of her!
And they were all exceptionally handsome!
Regardless of their figures or appearances.
Although Mei and Xing were both Shadow Guards, their bodies were exceptionally well-trained from a young age. While they usually appeared tall and imposing in their clothes, Le Yao Yao was now realizing that once they removed their garments, they were stunningly beautiful, far surpassing the models in magazines.
Though Mei and Xing's looks could not compare to the likes of the Living Yama or Nangong Junxi, their physiques were incredibly strong and solid.
Under the dim light of the palace, Mei and Xing had already stripped off all their clothing, leaving nothing but their bare skin. Soon enough, two pale backsides were swaying in front of Le Yao Yao.
Upon seeing this, Le Yao Yao felt her mind go blank, as if struck by a thunderclap. She stood there completely stunned.
In truth, she could have easily closed her eyes and looked away, but at that moment, her eyes betrayed her, sneaking glances at the two outside.
As she observed their tall and muscular forms, she couldn't help but compare them to the Living Yama.
The sound of splashing water filled her ears, echoing clearly in the stillness of the night.
Eventually, as the commotion outside began to fade away and Mei and Xing finished washing up, they left one after another. Only then did Le Yao Yao mechanically put on her clothes and slowly return to her own room.
However, the blush on her face lingered for a long time...
The next day, Le Yao Yao woke up early. After quickly getting dressed, she prepared her washing tools and made her way to the Living Yama's room.
She knocked on the door and only entered after receiving permission from inside.
The Living King of Hell had awakened, and when he saw Le Yao Yao, his Cold Eyes flickered momentarily.
After bowing to the Living King of Hell, Le Yao Yao skillfully helped him put on his clothes.
With each passing day, she became more familiar with serving him.
As she assisted the Living King of Hell in changing, her Beautiful Eyes couldn't help but take in his appearance.
Today, the Living King of Hell clearly wore a gloomy expression, perhaps because the Heart Extraction Incident had yet to be resolved. A shadow seemed to hang over his handsome face, and his brows were furrowed with cold severity.
His narrow Cold Eyes appeared lost in thought, as if he were contemplating something.
Moreover, his attractive thin lips were pressed into a straight line, reflecting his owner's indifference and aloofness.
Despite this, Le Yao Yao found that no matter when she looked at him, he was always strikingly handsome.
He exuded an innate noble aura and an enchanting charm that captivated anyone who gazed upon him.
No matter how she looked at him, she could never get enough.
Recently, he wore a simple white Silk Robe, cinched at the waist with golden threads and adorned with fine Sheep Fat Jade.
His Black Hair and Jade Crown accentuated his Sword Brows, while his Cold Eyes resembled deep pools, exuding an intimidating chill!
Such a man was flawless in appearance at any time or place, making Le Yao Yao steal glances at him from time to time.
In her heart, she couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
Although this person had a heart as unpredictable as the weather, it must be said that he was truly blessed with looks that were pleasing to the eye.
If only his personality could be a bit better and he were easier to get along with, how wonderful that would be...
As Le Yao Yao sighed inwardly, the living Yama seemed to sense her occasional glances. His handsome face remained calm and unruffled, but just as Le Yao Yao stole another look, Cold Eyes swept over, locking onto Beautiful Eyes.
In that instant, their gazes collided—Beautiful Eyes meeting Cold Eyes. Le Yao Yao's heart skipped a beat, and her pulse quickened with nervousness.
Her little head quickly lowered, filled with regret.
She truly was incorrigible; now she had been discovered.
Le Yao Yao muttered to herself, her cheeks burning hot. Even without a mirror, she knew her face must be as red as a tomato.
So, she kept her head down, her gaze fixed on her toes, too afraid to look at the living Yama's face again.
Yet even so, Le Yao Yao could still feel a scorching gaze fixed intently on her, as if it could bore two holes right through her.
This made Le Yao Yao feel even more embarrassed. However, she was unaware that her current expression resembled that of a child who had done something wrong and feared punishment from an adult—both adorable and pitiful.
Moreover, she did not know that Leng Junyu's gaze softened a few degrees as he looked at her; the corners of his mouth lifted slightly in evident delight.
Even he himself did not understand why seeing this little eunuch sneak glances at him brought him such joy.
In the past, he would have felt very displeased by such behavior. But now, with this person before him, Leng Junyu found that this feeling was actually quite nice and brought him joy...
Thinking of this, Leng Junyu parted his lips slightly and looked down at the little head barely reaching his chest, softly asking.
"What’s wrong? Is there something dirty on my face?"
"Uh..."
Le Yao Yao was taken aback by Leng Junyu's words, her cheeks flushing even deeper.
In that moment of embarrassment, Le Yao Yao finally lowered her head and said, "No, nothing at all..."
"Oh? Then why does the little rabbit keep staring at me?"
Leng Junyu's tone was somewhat puzzled, but deep down, he knew there was nothing wrong with his face. He was aware of the reason behind her gaze, yet he felt a sense of pride and couldn't help but tease the little eunuch before him.
For some reason, every time he saw this little eunuch blush and become flustered from his teasing, it brought him immense joy.
After all, so much had happened recently. First, there was the disaster at West River South River, and now this Heart Extraction Incident—each event was monumental in its own right.
Especially with the Heart Extraction Incident causing widespread panic outside; the common people were in a state of alarm.
Those with unmarried daughters were particularly worried.
Some even kept vigil over their daughters at night, fearing they might become the next victim.
In some areas, rumors began to spread, claiming that it was the work of a Specter...
Regarding the various speculations from the outside world, Leng Junyu felt that if this matter wasn't resolved quickly, the situation would only worsen.
For the past few days, he had been troubled by these matters, feeling a heavy weight on his heart.
However, no matter how great the pressure was inside him, it would dissipate significantly when he saw the young eunuch before him, allowing him to gradually relax.
This left Leng Junyu feeling quite perplexed.
What kind of magic did this young eunuch possess? He truly wanted to study this eunuch further...
Le Yao Yao was unaware of Leng Junyu's thoughts; she merely hesitated, unsure of how to respond to his words.
Just then, someone hurriedly entered through the door, instantly relieving Le Yao Yao from her awkward predicament. She was about to breathe a sigh of relief when the newcomer dropped a shocking bombshell on both Leng Junyu and Le Yao Yao—
"Not good, Your Highness! Another Heart Extraction Incident has occurred in the eastern part of the city, and ten young girls have died!"
"What!? Ten!?"
Upon hearing this news, Le Yao Yao was left speechless, gasping in shock.
Meanwhile, Leng Junyu's brows furrowed tightly; his handsome face darkened, and anyone could see the worry and anger brewing within him.
Before Le Yao Yao could fully process what was happening, she noticed that Leng Junyu had already rushed out of the room under the guidance of the newcomer, not even taking the time for breakfast.
But with such a significant incident unfolding, who could still find the mood to eat!?
...
Inside the royal residence, news of the Heart Extraction Incident spread like wildfire among everyone present.
During lunchtime, the entire cafeteria buzzed with discussions centered around the recent Heart Extraction Incident.
"Did you hear? This morning, ten more girls were found in the eastern part of the city, all with their hearts removed. And their blood was completely drained..."
"Oh my God! That's terrifying! Who could possibly be doing this? In just one night, they managed to extract the hearts of those girls without leaving a single drop of blood. What's worse, it seems that the families of the victims didn't hear anything unusual during the incident; they only discovered their daughters dead in their rooms the next day. Who on earth has such power?!"
"I say, this is beyond belief!"
"Beyond belief? Then who did it?!"
"You fool, if it's beyond belief, then it must be... ghosts!"
"Oh my God, don't say that! It's so scary! Luckily, I'm not a woman!"
"Hmph, of course you're not a woman, and you're not a man either!"
"You..."
In the corner of the cafeteria, Le Yao Yao's expression was somewhat grim as she listened to the chatter around her. Opposite her, Little Muzi also wore a downcast look.
After all, the recent events had affected everyone's mood to some extent.
However, noticing that Le Yao Yao hadn't finished her meal yet, Little Muzi kindly said to her, "Xiaoyaozi, don't think too much about it. Just eat your food! The prince is so capable; he will definitely find a way to resolve this issue."
"Well, that's true, but the mastermind behind the heart-extraction incident has yet to be found, which means that more young girls will continue to be killed..."
Although Le Yao Yao did not possess great talents or ambitions, she was still a young lady who could not bear to see innocent girls being murdered.
After all, those girls were around her age, with bright futures ahead of them that they had yet to enjoy. Now, they were cruelly killed, their bodies left unrecognizable. Who could be so heartless!?
...
Feeling somewhat gloomy, Le Yao Yao took a few bites of her meal and drank some bird's nest soup before returning to work at the Elegant Breeze Pavilion.
However, with her mind preoccupied by the Heart Extraction Incident, she went about her tasks listlessly.
At that moment, she stood on a stool with a damp cloth in one hand, slowly wiping down a pillar.
Because she was distracted, after finishing with the pillar, she intended to step down from the stool. However, as she turned around and saw Nangong Junxi standing behind her—who knew when he had appeared—she was startled, causing her foot to slip. Instantly, she lost her balance and fell straight toward the man below.
Nangong Junxi had only intended to stand behind Le Yao Yao and give her a little scare. He never expected her to turn around suddenly and be frightened enough to tumble toward him.
As a result, both of them fell to the ground. This time, unlike last time, Le Yao Yao ended up on top of Nangong Junxi.
With someone beneath her, Le Yao Yao felt a mix of fear and relief.
After all, at least this time she had managed to pin him down. Thinking of this made her feel a bit smug.
Moreover, considering how Nangong Junxi had silently appeared behind her just moments ago with ill intentions, how could she not feel pleased now that she had him under her?
In contrast to Le Yao Yao's delight, Nangong Junxi felt somewhat weighed down. That was not even the main issue.
After all, Le Yao Yao was petite and light, so having her on top of him hardly felt like anything.
However, what Nangong Junxi found most difficult to accept was the dampness on his face, as if something was covering it.
After a moment of confusion, he suddenly realized something, and his handsome face darkened.
Damn it, the thing covering his handsome face was actually a rag!?
