"Uh..."
Hearing the man's words, Le Yao Yao felt a chill run down her spine, her face flushing with embarrassment as she looked at him in disbelief.
Because she truly had no intention of enticing him! How could he interpret her gaze as seductive?
The Living Yama was indeed a Living Yama; his thoughts were unlike those of ordinary people.
Though she thought this in her heart, Le Yao Yao quickly shook her head like a wave and hurriedly said, "No, not at all."
"Hehe, I was just joking. Is it really worth getting so nervous over?"
"Uh..."
Well, looking at the Living Yama who seemed to be laughing for the umpteenth time tonight, Le Yao Yao could tell with just a thought that this gentleman was in a good mood today; at least he was constantly teasing her!
In the end, Le Yao Yao couldn't help but smile back, her lips curving into a grin.
"You are truly humorous, my lord."
Le Yao Yao chuckled lightly. Just then, she noticed the man taking another step closer, causing all the hairs on her body to stand on end. She looked at him with a wary gaze.
What did this Living Yama intend by getting closer to her!?
Could it be that on this night of the full moon, he was about to transform!?
As she felt a surge of dread in her heart, a distant howl echoed in her ears—
Awooooo...
Uh, that came from not far away in the back mountain.
Because behind the tall walls of the back mountain lies a deep forest...
This is truly fitting...
Just as Le Yao Yao was sighing inwardly, the man noticed her defensive posture, as if she were warding off a wolf, and couldn't help but smile, as if mocking her alarm. He then spoke up.
"Will you not invite this prince in for a visit?!"
"Uh, a visit?!"
Le Yao Yao was utterly speechless at his words; perhaps it was just that she couldn't keep up with his unconventional thinking!
After all, it was the middle of the night, and instead of going to sleep, he wanted to come to her room.
She certainly didn't believe it was just for a casual visit.
Just then, another howl echoed from nearby, seemingly to accentuate the man's presence, making Le Yao Yao feel increasingly anxious.
As a result, her arms, which were crossed protectively over her chest, tightened even more.
All she knew now was that she absolutely could not let this man in.
Not to mention it was late at night, and they were alone together; besides, there was someone in her bed!
If the living hell found out she had Nangong Junxi hidden under her covers, what would he think!?
At that moment, she couldn't even begin to imagine.
Thinking of this, Le Yao Yao tightly pressed her red lips together. Then, she exaggeratedly yawned and said to the man in front of her,
"Ah, Prince, I’m so sleepy! Besides, my room is a mess, and I wouldn’t want to offend your eyes, so I won’t invite you in. You should head back to your room and get some rest! Good night!"
With a light laugh, Le Yao Yao stretched out her hands and reached for the wooden door, intending to close it.
Unexpectedly, the man seemed to anticipate her move, slipping inside before she could react.
Accompanying his entrance were his teasing words.
"Are you that eager to send me away? Could it be that there’s a man hidden in your room?"
With a thunderous bang, his words struck Le Yao Yao like a bolt from the blue.
Her beautiful eyes widened in shock.
What did that mean!?
Could it be that he knew Nangong Junxi was here and was saying this on purpose!?
At this thought, Le Yao Yao's heart began to race violently, as if it might leap out of her chest.
Especially when she saw the man leisurely walking toward the edge of the bed as he spoke.
Though his steps were slow, to her they felt like thunderclaps; each step he took seemed to strike her heart with force.
Seeing this, Le Yao Yao felt flustered and disordered. She knew she absolutely could not let the Prince take another step forward. Otherwise, if he merely lifted the curtain, he would discover Nangong Junxi lying on her bed…
At that point, even if she jumped into the Yellow River, she wouldn’t be able to clear her name!
Thinking of this, Le Yao Yao herself did not even know why she was so afraid that the Living Yama would misunderstand her.
All she knew was that she could not, must not let the Living Yama get close to the edge of the bed.
After realizing this, Le Yao Yao deliberately took a step forward and immediately let out an exaggerated gasp.
"Ah..."
With that gasp, she aimed for the nearby stool, bit her lip, and deliberately bumped into it.
With a sharp intake of breath, Le Yao Yao's features instantly scrunched up in pain, clearly expressing her discomfort.
This really hurt!
She had been too anxious just now and had exerted too much force.
Although her knee throbbed painfully, she had successfully prevented the man from stepping closer to the edge of the bed.
Initially, upon hearing Le Yao Yao's gasp, the man had already turned around and naturally witnessed her colliding with the stool.
Though he was too late to stop her, he managed to catch Le Yao Yao as she fell.
"What happened to you?! You were fine just a moment ago; how did you bump into the stool?!"
As he caught Le Yao Yao's delicate little body and looked down at her grimacing in pain, Leng Junyu's handsome brows furrowed deeply.
His tone carried a hint of reproach along with an unmistakable concern.
However, at that moment, Le Yao Yao was completely oblivious to this because her knee hurt so much that all she could do was hiss in sharp breaths.
"Your servant, your humble servant just couldn't see..."
Le Yao Yao said this with a tone that carried seven parts grievance and three parts playful pouting.
Naturally, she was unaware of this playful demeanor.
She was even less aware that, when facing the man before her, she was gradually learning how to act coy.
However, while she remained oblivious, someone else was not.
Upon seeing Le Yao Yao's delicate features contorted in pain, her bright Beautiful Eyes now veiled with a layer of mist, illuminated by the candlelight, her gaze shimmered enchantingly.
Combined with the grievance and playful pout on her brow, she looked like a pitiful little puppy, evoking immense sympathy.
Witnessing this, Leng Junyu's eyes flickered slightly, and his heart softened a bit.
"Since you couldn't see, don't wander around carelessly. Look, you've hurt yourself now; it must hurt a lot! Let me take a look."
At his words, Le Yao Yao was completely stunned.
After all, could this really be the ruthless executioner known for his mercilessness!?
If it were before, Le Yao Yao would never have believed that the cold-hearted executioner could show such tenderness.
After all, she still vividly remembered the scene when she first saw him single-handedly slay over ten men from Liangshan!
The blood-soaked scene, the bodies sprawled on the ground—some missing limbs, others with gaping wounds or shattered skulls...
Yet now, the man before her seemed like an entirely different person from the executioner she had first encountered.
Although his voice was slightly deep, the tenderness in his tone was unmistakable.
The dim candlelight outside filtered through the intricately carved window, casting a warm glow on the man's chiseled face, highlighting his distinct features and ruggedness.
The softness and concern in his brows were evident, overflowing with unspoken emotions.
It was rare to see such gentleness from an emperor; a man as domineering and cold as he was could surprisingly be so…
Damnably charming in his sensitivity!
At that moment, Le Yao Yao felt her heart leap, as if someone had plucked a string deep within her.
Her heartbeat seemed to skip several beats… it was undeniably handsome.
In the end, she could only stare blankly at this tender-hearted man before her.
Perhaps sensing Le Yao Yao's unusual reaction, Cold Eyes' gaze flickered slightly.
"What's wrong?"
"Uh, nothing, nothing at all."
Hearing his low, alluring voice snapped Le Yao Yao back to reality. She quickly lowered her head and bit her tongue in frustration.
The sharp pain on her tongue made her silently curse herself.
What was wrong with her today? How could she be so captivated by this living devil at such a moment?
Heavens, she was going to lose her mind…
Just as Le Yao Yao was lost in her thoughts, she suddenly felt her body lighten, and before she knew it, Leng Junyu had picked her up.
"Uh? Your Highness?"
Le Yao Yao blinked her eyes in confusion.
"Didn’t you hurt your knee? I have medicine in my room."
Without waiting for Le Yao Yao to respond, he strode forward with determination.
Seeing this, Le Yao Yao didn’t have time to say anything at all. Moreover, Leng Junyu walked steadily and quickly, and his room was right next to hers...
In the blink of an eye, Le Yao Yao found herself sitting on the soft, spacious bed of Leng Junyu.
The man who had brought her here was already holding a bottle of ointment.
He crouched down slightly, resembling a celestial being as he lowered himself to her feet. With one hand, he opened the ointment and prepared to roll up her pant leg.
Upon seeing this, Le Yao Yao was startled and instinctively tried to pull away. However, she exerted too much force and inadvertently aggravated her injured knee, causing her to wince in pain.
Noticing her grimace, the man merely furrowed his brows and shot her a sidelong glance before speaking.
"I am not a wolf; is there really any need for you to be so afraid?"
"Uh..."
Hearing this, Le Yao Yao's face flushed with embarrassment as she bit her lip tightly.
However, she couldn't help but mutter to herself.
You are not a wolf, but you are even more terrifying than a wolf, a living hell itself...
Of course, she wouldn't dare say this out loud, even if she had ten times the courage.
Just as Le Yao Yao pressed her lips tightly together, she saw the man extend his large hand again. This time, Le Yao Yao did not refuse; she simply allowed him to slowly roll up the cuffs of her pants, pulling them up to her thighs.
As the man's actions continued, her fair little legs gradually became exposed to his gaze.
Seeing this, the man's cold eyes flickered with a hint of surprise.
After all, the little one's calves were exceptionally fair and slender, beautiful like sheep fat jade, truly enticing!
At this moment, Leng Junyu felt even more puzzled.
Could a man's legs really look this good!?
Le Yao Yao was unaware of Leng Junyu's thoughts; her gaze followed the man's movements as he rolled up her pants. When she caught sight of her knees, which were already bruised and darkened, she gasped in shock.
Oh my god!
This little body is too fragile!
Although she hadn't gauged the force properly when she bumped into that stool just now, it shouldn't have resulted in such severe injuries.
Oh no, she was at a loss.
If she had known that this living hell would discover the Seventh Prince, what would it matter?! After all, it was the Seventh Prince who had jumped into her room himself.
However, thinking about these things now was of no use.
At that moment, as Le Yao Yao felt a rush of emotions, Leng Junyu also noticed the injury on her knee, and his earlier confusion was immediately cast aside.
His handsome brows furrowed even more.
Yet, he said nothing. He simply opened the Ointment, and instantly, a herbal fragrance wafted through the air.
Using his right index finger, Leng Junyu scooped out some milky white Ointment and slowly applied it to the bruised area on Le Yao Yao's knee.
At first, Le Yao Yao was afraid of the pain and let out a hissing sound as she drew in her breath, her body tensing up.
However, as the Ointment was evenly spread over her wound, the fiery sting in her knee was quickly replaced by a cool sensation.
It felt as if there were ice cubes resting on top of it; the sharp pain gradually faded away, leaving only a refreshing chill.
Le Yao Yao found this quite miraculous.
But she also understood that with someone like the Living Yama, everything used and worn would naturally be of the highest quality. Thinking about it, she no longer found it so surprising.
At that moment, after applying the medicine to Le Yao Yao's knee, Leng Junyu noticed that her expression had softened from the earlier pain. He finally spoke up.
“Now you know it hurts, right? Next time, remember not to be so reckless.”
“Yes, I understand now. Thank you, my lord,” Le Yao Yao replied softly with a nod.
Hearing her words, Leng Junyu nodded in satisfaction. He then put away the Ointment and turned to Le Yao Yao, who was sitting on the bed.
"From now on, you must come here every morning and evening to apply the medicine. Do you remember?"
"Ah?!"
Every morning and evening!?
Upon hearing Leng Junyu's words, Le Yao Yao was momentarily taken aback, her eyes reflecting a hint of surprise.
Then, as if realizing something, Le Yao Yao quickly spoke up.
"Your Highness, there's no need. I can just get some medicine from Brother Bai... uh..."
Before Le Yao Yao could finish her sentence, she was met with a cold glare from the man, causing her words to vanish back into her throat.
Uh, what a fierce man! He just glares without warning. She couldn't help but wonder how intimidating he looked when he glared. He even claimed to like her—was this how one showed affection!?
Thinking of this, Le Yao Yao pouted her red lips slightly, feeling a bit wronged.
However, she didn't realize that at this moment, she resembled a child pouting for attention, evoking sympathy.
Her dark eyebrows arched gracefully over beautiful eyes that sparkled like water. The delicate contours of her face seemed meticulously carved from fine jade. She was petite and charming, dressed only in a thin garment. Despite lacking any extravagant embellishments, she appeared pitiful and ethereal, like a fairy stepping out of a painting, stirring one's heart with a flutter...
Seeing Le Yao Yao's innocent pouty face made Leng Junyu's heart stir. A warm sensation surged within him, as if the long-frozen mountain in his heart had suddenly been bathed in warm sunlight, showing signs of melting...
Before Leng Junyu even realized it himself, his fingers gently curved and lightly traced the bridge of Le Yao Yao's delicate nose.
This affectionate gesture was so intimate that both Leng Junyu and Le Yao Yao were taken aback. Their eyes met, and in that instant, it felt as if thunder struck and fire ignited...
Le Yao Yao felt as if she had been electrified at that moment.
Her heart fluttered, a wave of warmth washing over her.
She felt no aversion to the man's affectionate gesture; instead, she found herself liking it more than she expected.
Leng Junyu was somewhat surprised by Le Yao Yao's reaction, but he quickly let it go.
Although he had never doted on anyone like this before, starting today, he wanted to cherish her and spoil her.
He understood that their relationship couldn't be rushed. After all, their identities and the layers of barriers between them felt like obstacles. However, he believed that if he took things step by step, one day those barriers would disappear.
With that thought in mind, Leng Junyu stood up and, with a swift motion, swept Le Yao Yao into his arms once again in a princess carry before she could react.
"Ah!" Le Yao Yao gasped softly.
But before she could fully process what was happening, his soft lips brushed against hers lightly.
This time, the kiss was just a fleeting touch before he pulled away, leaving her wide-eyed in annoyance. Yet all she received in return was his cheerful smile.
His playful expression and triumphant demeanor reminded her of a proud wolf.
Seeing this, any irritation Le Yao Yao felt melted away into shyness.
So even the formidable figure could be mischievous at times...
Finally, Leng Junyu carried Le Yao Yao back to his room and gently placed her on the bed while she was still filled with nervousness.
Fortunately, the bed was empty at that moment; it seemed Nangong Junxi had left when they exited the room.
Seeing this, Le Yao Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, even such a trivial matter did not escape someone's notice.
"What were you worried about just now?!"
"Uh..."
Le Yao Yao was taken aback that her subtle expression of relief had been noticed by the living hell itself. Her eyes widened, and her tongue seemed to have been snatched away by a cat, leaving her speechless for a long moment.
"N-no..."
Finally regaining her ability to speak, Le Yao Yao quickly responded.
Yet, her stammering words carried the unmistakable scent of guilt.
Noticing this, Le Yao Yao instinctively bit her lower lip.
However, this instinctive action was swiftly halted by a finger.
"Don't bite it; be careful not to break your lip."
Leng Junyu's voice was deep, with a hint of hoarseness and a touch of magnetism, making it particularly captivating in the dark of night.
Upon hearing this, Le Yao Yao immediately stopped biting her lip and nodded at the man.
"Well then, I’ll go to sleep. You should rest early too, my lord."
"Mm."
Upon hearing Le Yao Yao's words, Leng Junyu showed no hesitation and did nothing to frighten her. He simply stood up and strode toward the door.
Watching the man's retreating figure, Le Yao Yao finally let out a sigh of relief. However, before she could fully catch her breath, she saw the man, who had reached the door, suddenly turn around and say,
"Little Rabbit, you belong to me. From now on, only I can enter your room; no other men are allowed. Do you understand?"
With that, before Le Yao Yao could respond, he closed the door behind him and left.
Staring at the tightly shut Carved Wooden Door, Le Yao Yao felt a moment of blankness in her mind. Once she regained her composure, she murmured to herself,
"So he knew all along..."
...
Since last night when Nangong Junxi had suddenly jumped into her room and uttered those shocking words, Le Yao Yao had been at a loss about how to face him.
Unexpectedly, after attending to the King of Hell and waiting for him to go to court, she found that she hadn’t seen Nangong Junxi's face all day.
Finally, while having lunch in the dining hall, she inadvertently overheard from one of the eunuchs serving him that since they got up in the morning, the Seventh Prince had not returned to his room and no one knew where he had gone.
Hearing this made Le Yao Yao feel puzzled.
According to these eunuchs, Nangong Junxi hadn’t returned since last night. Where could he have gone so late at night!?
With these thoughts weighing on her mind, Le Yao Yao found it hard to enjoy her meal.
Sitting across from her was still Little Muzi.
Recently, because they shared a bowl of bird's nest soup every day, Little Muzi had grown taller and stronger. He was no longer the skinny little boy she had first met; he was now quite robust compared to before.
Because she had opened up, Little Muzi's face had lost some of its childishness and had become somewhat handsome.
That appearance was actually quite nice, but unfortunately, he was a eunuch.
In contrast to Little Muzi, Le Yao Yao was completely different.
Although she had a bowl of bird's nest soup every day and her meals were clearly increasing day by day, her body did not seem to grow at all.
She still had those small arms and petite figure; however, while her height hadn't changed, her chest had started to develop a bit.
This morning, when Le Yao Yao got up, she felt a slight swelling in her chest that was somewhat painful. This must be a sign of development.
Everyone has a desire to be beautiful, especially since she was just a fake eunuch. In three years, she would have to leave this place. Therefore, seeing that her chest was starting to swell, Le Yao Yao couldn't help but wrap an extra layer of bandages around her chest, afraid that others might notice.
Although the living Yama had said yesterday that he didn't mind whether she was male or female or a eunuch, she still thought it best to keep this secret until she was clear about her own feelings.
Le Yao Yao thought to herself that although she was puzzled by Nangong Junxi's matter, her stomach was still very hungry. So, putting everything else aside, she decided to fill her stomach first.
After pondering for a moment, Le Yao Yao ate a bowl of plain rice.
Looking at the three empty bowls piled in front of her, Little Muzi's eyes widened in surprise as he exclaimed.
“Xiaoyaozi, I've recently noticed that you can eat more and more!”
“Burp…”
Feeling satisfied after eating her fill, Le Yao Yao simply smiled at Little Muzi's comment.
"Ha ha, still growing, huh? Eating too much isn't a big deal; you're the same way."
Le Yao Yao finished speaking and cast a glance at Little Muzi's table, where five large bowls sat.
Little Muzi really could eat a lot. Even without any dishes to go with it, he could finish five big bowls of rice in one meal.
Fortunately, the cafeteria served dishes in proper portions, but rice was unlimited. Otherwise, with Little Muzi's current appetite, he would have to work on an empty stomach every day.
Upon hearing Le Yao Yao's words and noticing her teasing gaze, Little Muzi scratched the back of his head and chuckled foolishly.
After joking around with Little Muzi for a bit longer, Le Yao Yao planned to clean up the utensils and return to her post. Just then, she felt a sudden churn in her stomach, followed by an overwhelming wave of nausea.
With a loud clatter, all the utensils in Le Yao Yao's hands fell to the ground, creating quite a commotion and drawing the attention of those around her.
However, Le Yao Yao paid no mind to anyone else. Covering her mouth with both hands, she hurried toward the trash can in the cafeteria and promptly threw up into it.
Not only did she expel everything she had just eaten, but it felt as if she might even bring up bile.
As she vomited, her complexion turned pale and ashen, devoid of color.
Little Muzi, who had noticed something was off with Xiaoyaozi and rushed out, was filled with concern upon seeing Le Yao Yao struggling so much.
He stood by her side, trying to help her catch her breath. Then suddenly remembering something, he dashed back to the kitchen to fetch a cup of warm water for her.
Just then, Le Yao Yao had already lost all her strength and was on the verge of collapsing onto the floor.
Fortunately, Little Muzi came just in time to support her frail body and helped her sit down on a nearby wooden stool. He carefully wiped her mouth clean with a handkerchief before handing her a cup of warm water.
"Here, Xiaoyaozi, rinse your mouth with some water."
"Mm."
After hearing Little Muzi's words, Le Yao Yao obediently lowered her head and took a sip of water, spitting out the unpleasant taste in her mouth. She then drank another sip of warm tea and sat for a while until she finally felt better.
Seeing this, Little Muzi still looked worried.
"Xiaoyaozi, are you okay!? You were throwing up so badly just now; you must be sick. How about we go see a doctor later?"
"I'm fine now. Maybe I just ate too much, and my stomach hasn't been great lately, which is why I threw up. It's such a pity about the bird's nest soup, though."
Le Yao Yao didn't want Little Muzi to worry about her, so she forced a smile to reassure him.
However, she was actually planning to have Brother Bai take a look at her in a few days.
Recently, she had been feeling nauseous; she didn't know if it was something she ate or what. Today was particularly bad.
She wasn't pregnant, so why was she throwing up endlessly?
It must be that the food she had eaten recently was too rich. Brother Bai had gone to the west city to treat someone and wouldn't be back for several days. She didn't even know when he would return to the clinic. Perhaps she should go to the clinic herself and pick up some medicine when she had time.
Le Yao Yao thought about this and decided to rest a little longer before returning to work at Elegant Breeze Pavilion.
...
Recently, if you asked Le Yao Yao what made her happiest, it would be taking a nap after finishing all her tasks post-meal—sneaking in some laziness.
After all, there were few residents at Elegant Breeze Pavilion during the day. Unless the living Yama had special business to attend to, he wouldn't be around.
At this time, she could enjoy a good sleep and wake up just in time for the living Yama's return in the evening—perfectly timed.
Today, she had emptied her stomach completely and felt like eating something again. Le Yao Yao had lost her appetite, so after finishing her work at the Elegant Breeze Pavilion early, she immediately collapsed onto her small bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Because today, she felt particularly exhausted!
It was as if all her strength had been drained away; she felt limp and powerless.
Thus, Le Yao Yao slept for several hours before finally waking up.
When she looked at the sky, it was around five or six o'clock in the modern sense.
Since summer days are long and nights are short, even though it was evening, the outside was still very bright.
After this nap, Le Yao Yao felt that all her energy had returned.
However, her stomach was also growling with hunger.
The rumbling sound made Le Yao Yao cover her belly. After drinking several cups of Tea, she hurried to the dining hall to have a meal.
Since she would need to serve the living Yama later, there was no time to eat then. Therefore, every day at this time, Le Yao Yao would eat her fill in the dining hall before the living Yama returned, just in time to serve him.
However, today, as she walked toward the dining hall as usual, she noticed a group of young eunuchs gathered under a large tree. One of them was crying while the others were circling around the tree as if trying to climb it. Upon seeing this, Le Yao Yao felt puzzled.
These young eunuchs must have recently entered the palace and were particularly young. They looked to be around twelve or thirteen years old.
If they were in modern times, they would still be middle school students!
But here, they had to serve others and endure hardships. Therefore, Le Yao Yao felt a deep sympathy for these children.
Now, seeing these half-grown eunuchs looking so flustered and anxious, Le Yao Yao's curiosity got the better of her, and she walked over.
"Hey, it's time for dinner! What are you all still doing here?"
Out of goodwill, Le Yao Yao greeted them.
However, it was clear that these children, having just entered the residence, were particularly sensitive and uneasy around others.
So, when they saw Le Yao Yao waving at them, they all fell silent at once.
Their initial anxiety melted away upon seeing Le Yao Yao's warm and friendly smile.
After all, Le Yao Yao was quite beautiful and very approachable.
As long as she smiled like that, people of all ages would be drawn to her.
One of the younger boys, who looked a bit older but was only about thirteen years old, spoke up to Le Yao Yao.
"The kite belonging to Little Tiger got caught in the big tree. We can't get it down, and that kite was a birthday gift from Little Tiger's father for his twelfth birthday before he came to the residence..."
As the young eunuch spoke, Le Yao Yao glanced over at the boy referred to as Little Tiger.
She saw him crying with tears streaming down his face, snot running from his nose.
Clearly still a child, he was upset that his birthday gift had gotten stuck in a tree. No wonder he was sobbing.
Le Yao Yao felt a pang of sympathy.
She looked up to see a centuries-old towering tree with branches sprawling in every direction and lush leaves. Even if they tried to use a long pole to hook it down, they might not be able to retrieve the kite without damaging it!
Now, the only plan was to climb up and retrieve that kite.
However, the few little eunuchs in front of her were quite small, and as for Le Yao Yao, she was already petite herself, but these little ones barely reached her shoulders!
Seeing everyone anxiously scurrying around like ants in a boiling pot, Little Tiger was crying pitifully.
Heaven seemed to take pity on them; Le Yao Yao couldn't stand to see children crying so miserably.
Thus, with a determined bite of her lip, she decided to take the plunge.
"Alright, I'll help you get the kite down!"
"What!? Big Brother, really?! Are you truly going to help us get the kite down?!"
Upon hearing Le Yao Yao's words, the little eunuchs were momentarily stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.
But more than that, there was joy. After all, they were too small to climb the Centennial Tree; it was no easy feat. However, this Big Brother in front of them was at least much taller than they were. If he went to retrieve it, their chances would definitely increase.
Thinking this way, the little eunuchs looked at Le Yao Yao with eyes full of gratitude. Little Tiger immediately stopped crying.
Seeing this, Le Yao Yao didn't want to let them down and immediately patted her chest in assurance.
"Just watch me!"
With that said, she walked over to the trunk of the large tree and began to assess it carefully before taking a deep breath to prepare herself mentally.
Climbing trees was something she was not unfamiliar with.
She still remembered when she was younger; she had been particularly mischievous and wild, like a crazy girl who feared nothing.
At that time, there were many tall trees planted next to her home, and she often climbed them to collect bird eggs.
Although she sometimes fell from the trees, they weren't very high, and the falls weren't serious, so she usually forgot the pain once her wounds healed.
As she grew older, her interest in climbing trees faded, and eventually, she stopped climbing altogether.
However, if she were to climb a tree now, she could still do it. Besides, she needed to help those little children retrieve their kites!
It was important to note that these children had already suffered enough at such a young age, having been cruelly treated. She didn't want to see them sad.
So, Le Yao Yao took a deep breath, gathered her strength, and began to climb the big tree.
In her childhood, she was an expert climber, almost like a monkey in the wild.
Surprisingly, after all these years and in a new body, her climbing skills were still impressive.
While she couldn't compare to her younger self, it was still possible for her to reach the top.
As Le Yao Yao exerted herself to climb higher, the children below cheered her on.
"Big Brother, you can do it..."
"Big Brother, you're almost there, just a little more..."
"Big Brother, you're getting close! Hang in there..."
With such encouraging shouts from below, Le Yao Yao lived up to their expectations and finally reached the top of the Centennial Tree.
Sitting with her legs spread on the thick trunk, Le Yao Yao took a heavy breath and wiped the sweat from her forehead before flashing a smile at the little eunuchs below.
"Wait a moment, I'll get the kite for you!"
Le Yao Yao said, her small hand reaching out eagerly.
The kite was just in front of her, caught in the tangled branches of a tree!
However, it was frustratingly close yet just out of reach; her arms were simply too short to grasp it.
Seeing this, Le Yao Yao had no choice but to inch forward a little more.
But her movements were slow and cautious.
She was sitting quite high up, and the distance to the ground was not insignificant!
If she fell, she could easily break an arm or a leg.
Thinking of this made Le Yao Yao feel a bit flustered and scared.
But there was no room for fear now; after all, she had already climbed up, and she was so close.
Just a little more, and her hand would be able to grab that kite.
With determination in her heart, Le Yao Yao pressed her lips together, a look of resolve crossing her face.
She leaned forward once more.
This time, her hand finally reached the kite.
Below, the little eunuchs erupted into cheers, clapping their hands in excitement.
"Wow, Big Brother is amazing! Big Brother is awesome!"
"Hehe, of course!"
Hearing the cheers from the little eunuchs, Le Yao Yao smiled, revealing her pearly white teeth.
Her smile was like a brilliantly radiant sunflower, so beautiful!
And the sparkle in her eyes made her even more dazzling, drawing everyone's gaze.
As a result, the little eunuchs looked at Le Yao Yao with even more admiration.
After basking in her glory for a moment, Le Yao Yao slowly let go of the kite in her hand, allowing it to drift to the ground.
Once she saw that the little eunuchs had picked up the kite, she planned to climb down from the tree.
However, as the saying goes, it's easy to climb up a tree but hard to come down.
When she had climbed up earlier, she had only focused on getting the kite and hadn’t thought much about anything else.
But now that she had secured the kite, looking down at her height above the ground made Le Yao Yao break into a cold sweat.
She really was quite bold!
To think she had dared to climb up to such a height.
Now that she thought about it, Le Yao Yao felt a bit scared.
However, staying up in the tree was not a solution. Moreover, it was getting late and she was extremely hungry.
She needed to hurry to the cafeteria; otherwise, they wouldn't save her any food!
Moreover, after eating, she had to rush back to serve the King of Hell!
Thinking of this, Le Yao Yao felt a bit anxious.
She planned to turn around on the tree and slowly climb back down.
However, at that moment, Little Tiger seemed to have noticed something. His deep black eyes widened as he pointed behind Le Yao Yao and exclaimed.
"Ah, Big Brother, there's a snake behind you!"
"What?!! A snake!?"
Hearing Little Tiger's words, Le Yao Yao was startled. Her beautiful eyes darted around, and when she saw the little green snake not far from her, she trembled in fear. At that moment, her grip on the tree trunk loosened. Losing her balance, she fell straight down from the tree...
"Ah—"
