Chapter 75: Pounce on Him (3)

Ye Yu stopped acting leisurely and asked the system, “Did something big happen in the palace during this plot?”

The system quickly searched through the data and confirmed in the end, “No. The author didn’t mention this at all.”

Ye Yu felt a sense of pity and the system had detected it, questioning, “Why is the host upset?”

Ye Yu sighed and said, “I keep feeling like the storyline had deviated…a bit again.”

The system was speechless.

Moments later, Ye Yu saw the figure standing outside the front hall and she sighed again.

——

As expected, her premonition came true.

“…Your majesty.”

Despite the hesitance in her heart, Ye Yu still walked over.

Right now, it was getting a bit dark, so she could only see the two rows of guards standing behind Xuan Yi, outside the palace.

…but it seems like there are more of them than usual?

Plus, some of them were even unfamiliar faces.

Ye Yu instinctively glanced over everyone.

She had been carrying the phone personally on her, so she ordered for the system to transfer these people’s datas over to her.

Before she could walk to Xuan Yi, she heard the silent system suddenly call out in shock.

Even Ye Yu halted to a stop due to the surprise call.

“What’s the matter?” She scrunched her eyebrows and asked the system.

The system’s voice trembled as it said, “T-these people are all Xuan Yi’s trusted aides and they’re the most elite and skilled ones. There is not a single person in the team that has lower cultivation than you…”

Ye Yu hesitated in secret.

——

Despite the storyline deviating slightly, there was no need for Xuan Yi to harm Princess Ye that early, right?

Plus, he depended on Princess Ye to monitor Xuan Bin’s actions as he left the palace to tour…

Ye Yu who was immersed in her emotions didn’t notice that Xuan Yi had been looking over her with a grim look. After confirming that she was indeed safe and sound, his stiffened body slightly relaxed.

But when he started talking, his voice was indeed quite terrifying from the hoarse tone. “Didn’t I warn you to not go and find him?!”

“…”

Ye Yu blinked her eyes, not understanding the trigger of Xuan Yi’s anger.

She hesitated before testing, “Your majesty doesn’t want to leave the palace?”

“ — This has nothing to do with whether I want to or not.”

Xuan Yi’s voice was still cold and rigid. He wanted to say something else, but after meeting Ye Yu’s gaze, he pursed his thin lips and swallowed the rest of the words.

Ye Yu became even more confused and she asked, “Then why is your majesty mad?”

“…” Xuan Yi’s eyelids softly twitched, seemingly unable to suppress a certain emotion in his pitch-black eyes as it surged.

After a moment, he gazed deeply at Ye Yu and then harshly shifted his gaze.

“…Because I’m worried about you!”

His voice was extremely hoarse.

Ye Yu was speechless.

Acting in this fierce manner…

Spit. Only fools will believe you.

While thinking about this, Ye Yu still reluctantly revealed looks of belief and happiness.

The system said in a low voice, “My host, you should act more excited when you hear someone you like saying that…”

“…” Ye Yu grinded her teeth and asked, “Like how?”

The system said, “Takeoff run and then pounce on him?”

Ye Yu was speechless.

“Xuan Yi is basically a weak and defenseless person. You’ll take responsibility if I pounce on him and something happens?”

The system said bashfully, “Since the host is pouncing on him, then it’s clearly the host’s responsibility.”

Ye Yu was speechless.

“My host, Princess Ye is not a bashful character.”

“…Remember to give me extra within the mission rewards for acting.”

Ye Yu thought this in her heart, but she didn’t dare to be careless.

She took this chance to walk to Xuan Yi and before the latter could shift his gaze, she clenched her teeth and “bashfully” hugged him.

——

“Your majesty, I like you and I can do anything for you. I will do my best to help you obtain whatever you want.”

“…”

There was silence in the air.

When she hugged him, Ye Yu could feel Xuan Yi’s body suddenly stiffen. However, she had finished talking for a long time and has yet to see him react.

…he clearly hates me, but he needs to hold in this hatred. It must be tiring, right?

Ye Yu felt extreme pity towards him.
