He had originally thought that she would be scared by her actions just like a normal girl, then struggle with her life on the line, or be enchanted by his attacks without knowing how to retaliate. He hadn't thought that she would remain expressionless, her white face obviously beyond belief, yet as if frozen on a distant mountain, that bone-biting chilliness would cause anyone to halt in their tracks.

He, as a dignified Phoenix King, when had he been blocked in such a defenseless manner?

It had to be said that Yun Liu Ya was very bold. With her words, she had not only taken out his title of Phoenix King to prevent him from violating her, she had also been trying to test him.

Such a mysterious woman couldn't help but arouse his interest.

There was something to be surprised about. This girl had only interacted with him a few times, and she could already see that he had been hiding his selfish thoughts for many years.

If he was compared to Liu Bang, the ancestor of Henggao, then wouldn't it be a capital offense to kill someone who wanted to hear about it? At such a young age, to have experienced so much was truly amazing.

She was calmly bullied by him and did not resist. Instead, she focused her gaze on every single expression on his face. Obviously, she was testing him. He purposely spoke a few obscure words to get rid of the fact that he wanted to claim the title of Emperor.

With such a meticulous method, if it was the previous him, he would definitely be able to get rid of it as quickly as possible. Strangely, he didn't have any intention of harming her, but he felt admiration from the inside.

Thus, he smiled slightly and replied, "This king has indeed captured the city and the women and children are not close, but it is definitely not Liu Bang, the ancestor of Hangkao. He is a weed, and I am the royal family. Just this point is already very different."

There was no need for him to deceive her. With her intelligence, she would definitely be able to understand the meaning behind those words. Because at that time, he still didn't know that this woman would completely change his prejudice towards her in the near future, pushing him to the peak of his power.

"If that's the case..." Yun Liu Ya suddenly extended her hand to push him, and sat up by herself. She picked up a oil cauliflower that was half bloomed and smelled it closely, then said meaningfully, "Prince should have done even better than straw and mustard."

Although she was young, she seemed to know a lot. In all these years, no one had been so sure of his plans.

"I thought that when the flower bud is not fully bloomed yet, Phoenix King would try his best to absorb the nutrients. Only then would beauty be able to last for a long time."

She raised her hand, and some of the sudden sunlight passed through her slender fingers and into her amber eyes, bathing her in a halo of light.

His heart was ruthlessly rubbed by something, and then he sank into an unprecedented calm. She seemed to be careless, but she clearly explained everything that he had worked so hard to do over the years.

No one could understand what he had endured, and why he had suffered so much in return, doing what they despised the most. Just as Yun Liu Ya had said, he was absorbing the nutrients.

He narrowed his eyes as the sunlight above his head became more and more dazzling. He thought that once he absorbed enough of this light, he would be able to stretch his limbs.

He tilted his head and looked at the face that made him more and more curious every day.

He suddenly noticed that she was wearing makeup today. Her palm-sized face was covered with a thin layer of makeup, making her originally smooth skin even more exquisite and snow-white. Her normally light lips were also painted with a bright rouge, sparkling and translucent like a red fruit that anyone could pick.

"Yun Liu Ya." He couldn't help but call her by name for the first time, with a touch of seduction.

"Hmm?" She didn't refute him. She only turned her head, her black eyes sparkling as she focused on waiting for him to continue speaking.

"It's better if you don't put on makeup."

Although Yun Liu Ya who had put on makeup was beautiful, it masked her original aura, making him habitually compare with those mediocre and ordinary fans. As for those people, they naturally could not be compared with her.

"Oh, really, I think so too." She actually scratched her smooth forehead in embarrassment, and her fingers unnaturally pinched the little red earlobe on the right side of her ear.

This entire day was the most peaceful and harmonious time they had ever known each other. She consecutively revealed several different faces, making it difficult for him to differentiate between the real Yun Liu Ya and the real one.

"Yun, Li, Ya." In the darkness, Jun Lin Sheng opened up a pair of deep eyes. There was a purple glow in those eyes, and after he slowly muttered those three words, the corner of his mouth unconsciously raised up.

It seemed that every time he recited these three words, his mood would become much calmer. This girl had a certain influence on him. Jun Lin Sheng's smile grew wider.

Regardless of whether she was unruly, sinister, bashful, or weak, in short, she had successfully attracted his attention.

It was already too late to flee.

On the second day, Yun Liu Ya had indeed slept until late in the morning before she could barely get up. For some reason, she had slept soundly last night, and even dreamt of that fellow Jun Lin Sheng.

Pouting, she sat down in front of the bronze mirror and saw the huge bags under her eyes and the bear's blind, dark circles.

He knew that as long as he had a relationship with that fellow, nothing good would come of it. Yun Liu Ya slapped her face with all her might as she pounced on it to cover the fact that she couldn't see anyone, while happily cursing at her.

This was really strange! It was fine if he couldn't get a good night's sleep, but his face turned pale instead.

"Ya Er, what's wrong? Why do you look so pale!" Ning Wan rushed in front of Yun Liu Ya, and looked around worriedly.

Being played around with like that, Yun Liu Ya's expression became even more gloomy, it was as if she lost all her energy and looked at Ning Residence, causing him to feel extreme heartache.

Old Lady Ning also sat at the dining table and asked worriedly, "Girl, yesterday your grandfather said that you went out with Phoenix King to take a walk. What happened today, did you get a cold?"

Yun Liu Ya looked embarrassed, seeing her two anxious relatives, she said: "Mother, Grandmother, I'm fine, maybe it's because I slept late these few days, that's why I'm like this."
