Le Yao Yao had a sour expression on her face as she faced Leng Jun Yu. Leng Jun Yu’s eyes were narrowed and his red lips were tightly pursed; indicating his displeasure.
His voice was like the cold wind blowing from an ice cave. It caused others to shiver –
“Not bad. Not bad. You sure have guts.”
His voice was low and hoarse. Although he gave her a praise, his voice didn’t conceal any of his fury.
“Eh….”
Hearing the King of Hell’s words, Le Yao Yao felt like there was a cotton stuck in her throat. She couldn’t say a word.
Also, her tiny body was shaking from fear. She was honestly terrified!
She recalled the incident from two days ago. Prince Rui had slaughtered over dozens of assassins in such atrocious ways! He didn’t allow a single one of them to live. He was ruthless and heartless.
If he could get rid of those assassins so easily, he could probably demolish her with one slap.
Le Yao Yao had turned all white by now. Fortunately, the overbearing feeling disappeared after a few seconds.
She waited until the steady footsteps had became distant before she slowly lifted her head up and breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank you for your blessings, Buddha! The King of Hell was gone.
But Le Yao Yao was actually kind of surprised that the King of Hell didn’t kill her. Because Xiao Mu Zi had told her once the King of Hell had ‘ka cha’ an eunuch’s head for knocking over a cup of tea. In comparison, her issue was much bigger, yet the King of Hell spared her?
Strange! Very strange indeed!
While Le Yao Yao was staring in awe, an angry voice entered her ears; bring her train of thought back to reality.
When Le Yao Yao saw the furious face of the chief manager, she wanted to cry but had no tears….
Damn it! Her bad luck really wouldn’t let her go….
—–
Although it was early Summer, the temperature always fluctuated a lot.
In a moment, the initial clear and boundless sky was thoroughly covered by black clouds.
The low black clouds hovered in midair and looked more like a black whirlpool. People who saw it would hold their breaths.
Right before a rainstorm, it was always quiet.
The air was hot and stuffy. There wasn’t any wind at all.
Currently, Le Yao Yao was holding a bucket of water above her head with two hands. Her knees were on the ground, and the heat had already caused her back to be soaked with sweat. In addition, her forehead was also covered by a layer of sweat.
From time to time, huge beads of sweat would roll down from her forehead to her pale cheeks, and then to her pointy chin. Then, it would drop on the ground.
*Plop* The huge bead of sweat fell onto the limestone floor and instantly evaporated.
At this moment, Le Yao Yao had already been kneeling with the bucket on top of her head by the doorway for nearly two hours.
Since it was very sunny outside, the ground was boiling hot.
Although Le Yao Yao’s clothes weren’t very thick because it was almost summer, the thin material couldn’t help her in this situation because the limestone floor was scorching hot. By now, her knees were red and swollen. It felt like they were being burned by fire. She was in a lot of pain!
Not to mention, she was carrying a bucket of water above her head. The bucket was half filled with water….
F**k this evil society!
The chief manager was so mean! He thought of such a tormenting punishment. He wouldn’t let her seek survival or death.
If she could, she would violently smash the bucket of water. But sadly, she couldn’t.
The chief manager had made it clear that she had to kneel for four hours and not a minute less. Also, the bucket of water must be held up high. If she puts it down, she would have to kneel for another two hours….
Thinking of the inhumane chief manager, Le Yao Yao really wanted to kick him!
Mother, that asshole eunuch! One day, if she ever becomes powerful, she will deal with him first!
Le Yao Yao started to imagine all sorts of dramatic scenarios in her head. In the future, she was going to beat up the chief manager and he was going to kneel down by her leg and beg for mercy. He will call her great aunt!! Muahahaha!
Maybe she could only think of these unrealistic thoughts to get through this difficult time. After all, she needed to make herself feel better…
But suddenly, a powerful wind swept by and the sand and stones began to fly. The Heaven and the Earth were changing colours (tl: wow so dramatic)
Right away, there was a ‘wa la’ sound and there was a relentless downpour.
“FML, oh God! Even you have to treat me like this……”
Le Yao Yao weakly yelled. She looked like she wanted to cry….
At the same time, in the Prince’s room –
Night was about to fall, and lanterns were beginning to lit. The air was stuffy hot.
There was a huge night pearl that was embedded high against the wall. It was emitting a yellow ray of light and made the entire room bright as day.
At this moment, Leng Jun Yu had both his hands behind his back as he looked out the window. He was silently standing in front of the window, and the gentle radiance was slowly spilling itself on his body; making his shadow very long. He looked very manly but cold.
The room was very quiet. Prince Rui was so still that if one wasn’t attentive, they may assume he was a stone sculpture.
He remained like this for a long time; until suddenly the curtains slightly shifted and two black shadows had entered the room noiselessly.
It was obvious that the two had amazing and unpredictable skills.
After the two black clothed men had entered, Leng Jun Yu was still standing by the window. He didn’t even turn around. It was as if he had eyes behind his head. After awhile, he finally opened his mouth.
“Xing, what is it?” He coldly asked.
But, the two black clothed men were used to Leng Jun Yu’s cold demeanor. The one who responded to Leng Jun Yu was a good looking sunshine boy that was approximately seventeen or eighteen years of age.
That boy was Xing!
Amongst all his secret agents, Leng Jun Yu’s top four were: Mei, Yue, Xing, and Chen. They were his most capable and reliable subordinates. Mei, Yue, and Chen had cold personalities, while Xing was the opposite.
Although he was a secret agent, Xing was always smiling mischievously. Surprisingly, his martial arts was the best out of the four. Also, his techniques were efficient. Each time Leng Jun Yu assigned him a mission, he had never once failed.
So it was quite shocking for anyone to imagine this cheerful handsome boy as a secret agent that killed without blinking.
Since his personality and martial arts were so different, Xing’s nickname was the smiling tiger.
Currently, Xing was smiling as he responded to Leng Jun Yu, “The 7th Prince will be arriving to the Capital in a few days. But this time, the 7th Prince is trying to hide from everyone. He doesn’t want anyone to know that he will be here. He wants to temporarily stay in this residence and would like to know whether Master is alright with it.”
