That night!
As the lights began to glow and the bright moon hung in the sky, the stars sparkled brilliantly, accompanied by a gentle evening breeze.
A summer night was like the face of a charming young woman, full of allure and grace.
Embracing the soft evening breeze, Le Yao Yao took a moment to calm her chaotic emotions before stepping onto the stone path, heading towards the Pavilion.
Although her mood was still quite terrible at that moment, she didn’t want her messy feelings to show on her face.
She felt that would make her look like a little clown.
Since the living Yama had no feelings for her, she decided to retract her affection for him.
Besides, she had only liked him a little bit—just a tiny bit!
So, starting today, she would no longer harbor feelings for the living Yama. From now on, he would be the master and she would be the servant; they would keep their distance from each other.
With this firm resolve in her heart, Le Yao Yao strode towards the Pavilion.
At that moment, the entire Elegant Breeze Pavilion was empty.
Only the tall palace lanterns remained, spaced five steps apart, casting a dim yellow light that illuminated the surroundings with a faint clarity.
However, just as Le Yao Yao reached the Pavilion, a sudden strong gust of wind swept through, extinguishing all the lanterns around her in an instant!
The force of the wind made it difficult for Le Yao Yao to open her eyes. When the strong wind finally subsided, she slightly opened her eyes and found herself surrounded by darkness!
Without the illumination of the palace lanterns, darkness enveloped the surroundings, with only the bright moon in the sky casting a pale blue-white light, gentle and ethereal, spreading across the land and adding a touch of hazy ripples to the scenery.
The Pavilion was built atop the water, surrounded by it. At this moment, Le Yao Yao stood at the edge of the Curved Bridge. Once she crossed this bridge, she would reach the Jade Pavilion.
Although the palace lanterns were absent, the moonlight provided enough illumination for Le Yao Yao to make her way into the Pavilion.
She thought about how, inside the Pavilion, the Living Yama was still waiting for her!
With that thought in mind, Le Yao Yao stopped pondering why those palaces had suddenly vanished and slowly walked toward the Pavilion.
She had expected to find the Living Yama inside, but to her surprise, when Le Yao Yao entered the Pavilion, it was completely empty. This left her utterly perplexed.
“Hmm? Where is everyone!? Why is there no one here!?”
Seeing the vacant Pavilion, Le Yao Yao was filled with confusion.
Her beautiful eyes scanned the area; there was no one around, no palace lanterns in sight. Although it was summer and quite warm, in this desolate moment, accompanied by a strange strong wind, Le Yao Yao suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
The atmosphere felt reminiscent of a horror movie she had watched before.
Just then, a sudden gust of cold wind howled past. Le Yao Yao couldn't help but shiver, and immediately afterward, goosebumps rose all over her body.
Crossing her arms to soothe her goosebumps, Le Yao Yao felt uneasy and decided to leave.
However, at that moment, a loud 'boom' echoed beside her. The sound came unexpectedly and was deafeningly loud, startling Le Yao Yao out of her fearful thoughts.
She thought it was an earthquake!
As she stumbled, she nearly fell flat on her face. Fortunately, she managed to grab hold of the railing of the Curved Bridge, saving herself from a disastrous tumble.
However, just as Le Yao Yao steadied herself and hadn’t yet calmed her wildly beating heart, she was completely stunned by the scene before her!
In the vast night sky, fireworks shot up like fire dragons, racing toward the heavens like lightning. Then with a loud bang, the colorful fireworks burst open in the night sky!
The beautiful fireworks were red, yellow, blue, purple, and green—vivid colors that dazzled the eye.
They bloomed magnificently and then faded away.
Petals of wind and flowers filled the sky, shimmering with brilliance!
Watching the fireworks bloom all around her, Le Yao Yao was utterly mesmerized.
Her little face was agape in astonishment, her beautiful eyes wide open, filled with an expression of wonder and joy that was impossible to hide.
“Oh my! So beautiful!”
In this pitch-black night, with stars twinkling above and the lake sparkling, the sudden eruption of beautiful fireworks made the night even more enchanting!
Yet just as Le Yao Yao was completely captivated by this stunning sight, she suddenly felt a presence behind her. Before she could react, her petite body was enveloped in a strong embrace.
“Are you happy?”
With the warmth behind her, a hoarse and alluring voice drifted into Le Yao Yao's ear.
Such a familiar voice that even without turning around, Le Yao Yao knew exactly who it was!
It was him, the Living Hell!
Upon hearing the man's words, Le Yao Yao, who had been lost in the stunning fireworks, immediately snapped back to reality. Her mind quickly recalled the events of the day.
A wave of anger surged toward her heart like a tide.
Just thinking about this man, who claimed to like her and wanted to possess her, yet within just a few days had embraced another woman!
The thought ignited Le Yao Yao's fury, and her delicate face instantly flushed with indignation.
Without a second thought, she twisted and struggled in the man's embrace, trying to break free.
"Prince, please have some self-respect!"
Le Yao Yao protested sweetly, her body writhing even more vigorously.
However, despite her desperate efforts, she couldn't escape even a little.
After all, men and women were inherently unequal in strength.
In the end, while Le Yao Yao gasped for breath like an exhausted ox, the man remained unmoved.
Seeing her struggle so restlessly in his arms, Leng Junyu understood that Le Yao Yao was angry. He didn’t respond with anger; instead, he let out a gentle sigh before speaking.
“Are you upset about what happened today?”
“Hmph!”
The only response from Le Yao Yao was a heavy snort.
Was he really asking that question?
She had thought he was hurt, and at that moment, her heart nearly leaped out of her chest, feeling as if the entire world was collapsing around her. But when she arrived, she found him holding another woman.
At that moment, she felt like a fool—ridiculous and pitiful!
All her worry and fear had been for nothing; who would have known...
The more she thought about it, the angrier Le Yao Yao became.
She felt deeply wronged. As she looked at the arms that tightly encircled her slim waist, binding her so she couldn’t escape, her anger flared. Without thinking, she opened her small mouth and bit down on the arm that held her captive.
Le Yao Yao bit down with all her strength, not holding back at all.
In that moment, she was simply venting her displeasure and anger, so she didn’t hold back in her bite.
She thought that surely this would make him loosen his grip.
However, the man seemed oblivious to the pain, as if he were made of something other than flesh. Le Yao Yao bit down, only to taste a faint hint of blood in her mouth, yet he remained unfazed.
Finally, after venting her frustrations, she realized how sore her mouth had become.
It dawned on her what she had actually done.
Oh my!
Had she lost her mind!?
She had bitten someone who was no ordinary person; this man was the ruthless executioner known for his mercilessness!
Although he had never harmed her during their time together, she could still vividly recall the coldness in his eyes when they first met, as he took a life without a second thought.
Now, she had bitten him! Would he be angry!?
As this thought crossed her mind, Le Yao Yao felt a pang of regret. Yet, her stubborn nature prevented any sign of fear from showing on her face.
Just when she thought he might be furious, she heard a soft sigh beside her, followed by his resigned voice.
"Do you want to bite again? If that wasn't enough, feel free to take a bite out of my arm as well! It would make a perfect pair!"
"Uh..."
"What does he think it is!? Can they really become a couple!?"
Hearing the man's words, Le Yao Yao was instantly speechless. Her face darkened, but she remained silent.
Seeing her expression, the man realized that Le Yao Yao was still angry. He knew that if he didn't clarify things, this Little One would continue to be upset.
Although he felt happy knowing that he was making her jealous, he also understood that if she stayed angry for too long, it would hurt him as well.
After thinking this through, Leng Junyu decided to speak up.
"Today, as soon as I finished court, I happened to encounter a wild horse rampaging down the street, injuring quite a few people. At that moment, Nian Sulan almost became a victim of the horse. I stepped in to save her. Afterward, she injured her ankle. Seeing that she was hurt badly and terrified, I took her to the clinic. The doctor checked her and confirmed she was fine, so I planned to leave. Unexpectedly, she suddenly lunged at me, and you know what happened next."
Leng Junyu recounted the events of the day in detail.
He had never explained anything so thoroughly to anyone before in his life.
But for this Little One before him, he made an exception.
He didn't want her to misunderstand.
Their relationship had finally begun to progress; he didn't want it ruined by some meddling outsiders.
In contrast to what Leng Junyu was thinking, Le Yao Yao was slightly taken aback after hearing his earnest explanation.
So that was how things had unfolded during the day.
She had always misunderstood.
Thinking of this, the heavy burden that had been pressing on Le Yao Yao's heart finally lifted. In an instant, she felt much lighter.
Then she realized that the man had gone into such detail to explain things to her; it seemed he was afraid she would misunderstand him.
The thought that he actually cared about her feelings made Le Yao Yao's heart flutter with sweetness.
However, remembering that she had misunderstood him and had just bitten him without any hesitation—drawing blood—she felt a mix of guilt and embarrassment, unable to bring herself to apologize.
After all, this was truly humiliating!
She knew she should apologize, but how should she do it?
With this thought, Le Yao Yao's delicate face scrunched up in distress.
Seeing this, the man seemed to understand what was on Le Yao Yao's mind, and a smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.
