Afterwards, the King of Hell was holding onto her. He was flushed like the Sun as he murmured in his raspy voice, âYou belong to this Prince. From now on, youâre only allowed to like this Prince. You may only do this type of stuff with this Prince! Understand?â
Le Yao Yao could only nod in response. After all, what else could she do?
By the time she was done plucking the radish, she was tired and felt like a frosted eggplant. On the contrary, Leng Jun Yu seemed to be rejuvenated. He energetically headed to the Imperial Court.
Le Yao Yao was gritting her teeth in annoyance. But, she carried on her day as usual. After she finished her lunch, she went to tidy Ya Feng Ge.
Unexpectedly, the moment she picked up her broomstick to sweep the fallen leaves, a figure in blue rushed straight towards her.
Before she could clearly identity the person, Le Yao Yao felt someone grabbing her shoulders; shouting, âAre you a man or woman?!â
âEh?!â
Hearing this, Le Yao Yao felt as if her sky was about to crumble. She looked up and made eye contact with Nangong Jun Xiâs anxious pupils.
Oh God! Why would he ask her that?! Could he have discovered something?
*Pa* Le Yao Yaoâs broomstick fell onto the ground.
Currently, standing across from her, Nangong Jun Xi had a very complicated expression on his face.
He was stunned, anxious, nervous, but even more so, excited and hopeful.
Because earlier, he was flipping books in his senior brotherâs Study. He was trying to kill time since he didnât want to return back to his country. Nangong Jun Xi wanted to loiter here for the next little while.
But who wouldâve thought that while he was in hiding these past two months, Slug would go missing?!
It was great because he didnât have to marry her. Yet, his mother wouldnât give up. She even sent him a scroll portrait so that he could help with the search.
They havenât seen each other in years. Slug must be extremely ugly by now.
After all, Nangong Jun Xi recalled seeing her father when he was little.
He had a tiger back and bear waist. In addition, he had a square face and a bulging forehead. When he spoke, it sounded like clapping lightning. He also had a bushy beard. Whenever Nangong Jun Xi saw him, he would instantly connect him with an image of a black bear.
What else could black bears give birth to? It must be a female black bear.
Hence, Nangong Jun Xi was adamant that Slug was incredibly hideous.
He was afraid to look at the portrait because he didnât want to have nightmares!
However, suddenly, his peach blossom eyes caught a familiar looking scroll at the corner. Nangong Jun Xi was too curious.
Wasnât this the portrait of Slug? Why was it in senior brotherâs Study?
Nangong Jun Xi was curious to see whether Slug was as ugly as his imagination. So, he slowly unrolled the scroll.
But the moment Nangong Jun Xi saw the image, he felt as if he had been shocked by lightning.
Slug looked exactly like Xiao Zhu Zi?!?!
Nangong Jun Xi couldnât wait another second as he stormed in Ya Feng Ge. He needed confirmation that instant!
âAre you a man or woman?!â
Currently, Nangong Jun Xiâs heart felt like it was about to pop out of his body. He didnât even dare to breathe a bit louder.
Ultimately, he was afraid that everything was just his imagination.
When âheâ had rejected him, he was so depressed. Nangong Jun Xi left the residence for a few days and tried to use alcohol to numb the pain.
But afterwards, he decided to let go. If Le Yao Yao didnât like him, he wasnât going to force it.
After all, âheâ was senior brotherâs.
But now, it was a different story. If âheâ turned out to be Slug, then he was his fiancée! If that was the case, he could legitimately marry her!
Thinking of this, Nangong Jun Xi felt as if he was floating. If Le Yao Yao was his imperial concubine and stayed by his side forever, he would die from joy!
But, was âheâ really her?
Currently, Le Yao Yaoâs heart was flipping back and forth. But she quickly calmed down and pursed her lips.
âAre you crazy? Do I look like a woman to you?â
Le Yao Yao didnât give Nangong Jun Xi a direct answer because she wasnât sure how much he already knows.
Her face remained calm, but if one paid closer attention, they would see that Le Yao Yaoâs hands were clenched into fists underneath her sleeves.
Unfortunately for Nangong Jun Xi, he only paid attention to Le Yao Yaoâs face. However, he didnât notice any hesitation there.
Honestly, Le Yao Yao wasnât a bad actress. Perhaps she couldnât hide her thoughts in front of the King of Hell, but Nangong Jun Xi was a different story.
Nangong Jun Xi was very loud and unattentive to details. It was much easier lying to him.
But why was he suddenly doubting her? Did she reveal something accidentally?
Suddenly, Le Yao Yaoâs eyes noticed the scrolled painting in Nangong Jun Xiâs hand. She had seen it somewhere beforeâ¦
Perhaps Nangong Jun Xi noticed Le Yao Yaoâs questioning expression, he unrolled the portrait in front of her.
âIf youâre really a eunuch, then why do you look the same as her?â
Le Yao Yao stared at the portrait and felt as if her mind was going to explode.
The female version of her?
Oh God!? Whatâs going on?
Could her identity be Nangong Jun Xiâs fiancée?
Thinking of this, Le Yao Yao almost fell over from shock. Her face immediately turned white.
But if she was really Nangong Jun Xiâs fiancée, what would happen to her relationship with the King of Hell?
Oh yeah! The King of Hell was the first one to see this. No wonder he was acting so strange last night!
He already knewâ¦.
Nangong Jun Xi was running out of patience. He asked again, âSo are you her or what? Youâre a woman?â
Le Yao Yao was stunned but she quickly adjusted her mood.
First of all, the person she likes was the King of Hell. Secondly, if she really was the girl in the portrait, Nangong Jun Xi would definitely force her to marry him. She didnât want to.
Or maybe it was just someone who looked like her?! Perhaps she wasnât the girl in the portrait at all.
Plus, apparently the fiancée was Princess Lulu and she was loved by the Empress. But Le Yao Yao was already used to living at Prince Ruiâs residence. She didnât want to move to another country and start a new life.
So, Le Yao Yao lied.
âHow could you conclude she is me based on a portrait? Itâs just someone who looks like me.â
âI donât believe you!â
Yes, he doesnât believe it.
How could someone look that alike in this world?
At the same time, Nangong Jun Xi was filled with doubt. Because, he knew what Slug was like.
If Slug knew it was him, she wouldâve plastered herself all over him. Yet, from the first time he met Le Yao Yao, âheâ treated him very coldly. He didnât care whether he was the 7th Prince or not. They were probably enemies in their past lives.
If âheâ was Slug, she wouldnât act like that.
Instead, she would use her annoying tone and go, âJun Xi brotherrrrrâ as she chased him nonstop.
âFine, if you want me to believe you, take off your clothes and prove it.â
âWhat?!â
Oh God! He wants her to take off her clothes? If she does, wouldnât it reveal her identity?! Of course not!!
But Nangong Jun Xi was very determined.
âIf you wonât take it off, it means youâre Lulu.â
Le Yao Yao was swearing on the inside. F**k! If she doesnât take her clothes off, he will tell his mother that she was Lulu. What if they take her away from here?
So, Le Yao Yao decided to gamble.
âFine. Iâll take it off.â
âWhat?â
This time, it was Nangong Jun Xiâs turn to be flabbergasted. His peach blossom eyes grew wide and disbelief could be seen all over his face.
Because he was sure that âheâ was her. But if âheâ was willing to take off his clothes, does that mean âheâ was a man?
Thinking of this, Nangong Jun Xi felt like he was going to suffocate.
Unexpectedly, Le Yao Yaoâs next line caused him to be even more bewildered. (end of 160 raw)
