CH 24

Chapter 24: Are you going to kill me or what?

But just as Leng Jun Yu’s lips were about to cover Le Yao Yao’s lips, a peculiar sound suddenly erupted. It shattered the whole mystifying atmosphere.

“Eh……”

“……”

Hearing that strange noise stunned both of them.

Le Yao Yao slowly opened her tightly shut eyes. She looked so embarrassed.

The odd noise continued. “Gu lu gu lu” On this extraordinary quiet night, the sound was especially clear.

At this moment, despite not wanting to die, Le Yao Yao had an urge to immediately end her life.

Because, the sound was coming from her stomach. In addition, it wasn’t stopping. In fact, she sounded like a device on vibration.

Deep down, she was upset at her own stomach. She wanted to die with dignity, ok?

Ugh, but it wasn’t entirely her fault.

Since eating that drumstick this morning, she only had a dry and cold steamed bun. It wasn’t even enough to stuff the gap in between her teeth.

By now, she was starving like crazy. She was kind of distracted for awhile. But after the King of Hell frightened her, she closed her eyes. Since she couldn’t see with her eyes closed, her other senses became more sensitive; especially her nose.

So the moment she closed her eyes, her nose naturally smelt the osmanthus cake on the table. It smelled so delicious and sweet!

The heavenly aroma caused her stomach to create that awkward, embarrassing noise….

Currently, Le Yao Yao wanted to hide in a hole.

Looking stupid in front of the King of Hell was even more unbearable than getting killed.

Le Yao Yao was probably overly stimulated, because all of a sudden, she no longer feared her opponent. She gritted her teeth and roared at Prince Rui.

“Are you going to kill or what? If you’re not killing, I’m leaving!” Le Yao Yao blurted.

“Eh….?”

Leng Jun Yu slightly frowned as Le Yao Yao spoke. Just as she thought he would kill her, he spoke,

“You hungry?”

“…..”

Le Yao Yao was speechless. Prince Rui asked a question that had nothing to do with what she had just said.

She thought to herself, the King of Hell was truly unpredictable. No one can figure out his next move. Previously, he looked like he was about to kill her. Then all of a sudden, he asked if she was hungry or not. What was he thinking?

Le Yao Yao couldn’t figure it out. So, she nodded honestly.

At this moment, Prince Rui stopped hovering over her and moved away.

Now that he wasn’t an inch away from her, Le Yao Yao could finally relax and breathe. She slowly straightened her tiny waist again.

But she never took her beautiful eyes away from him. She was very cautious and alert.

Leng Jun Yu was used to people looking at him with caution. It was nothing new.

Others saw him as a ruthless monster. He could joke and kill someone at the same time.

True, he had done that before. So it wasn’t surprising that people feared him.

But when he saw the fear in Le Yao Yao’s eyes, it made him feel really bitter.

He really hated that feeling.

Despite being unhappy on the inside, his face was still cold and distant. His cold, dark pupils made it impossible for others to see through him.

Le Yao Yao quietly analyzed the man in front of him as she lightly massaged her sore waist.

What does he expression mean? Is he going to let her go?

Should she leave or stay and continued to be scared?

While Le Yao Yao was pondering, the King of Hell opened his mouth again.

“If you’re hungry, then eat!”

“Eh?”

Hearing this, Le Yao Yao was shocked. She blinked and looked confused.

Eat?!

Does he mean…

She followed his glance and turned around to see the osmanthus cake that was on top of the stone table.

It was the osmanthus cake that had caused her to embarrassed herself! So, Prince Rui wanted her to eat it?!

But why?

Didn’t he want to kill her? Just because her stomach was grumbling, he changed his mind and asked her to eat instead?

Or, could the osmanthus cake be poisonous?!

Before she could continue thinking, she noticed the temperature dropping a couple more degrees. It was so cold, she was shivering. She turned back and saw a pair of icy eyes glaring at her. Le Yao Yao’s scalp became numb again.

This time, Leng Jun Yu was really mad.

This wretched servant! He kindly offered “him” food, yet “he” thinks he has ill intentions?!

The more Leng Jun Yu thought about it, the angrier he became. Now, his face was comparable to a thick piece of ice.

He looked extremely dangerous and intimidating.

“If you think there’s poison in these pastries, then don’t eat them!” he coldly stated.

His voice made Le Yao Yao felt like she was in an ice cave.

Immediately after, Leng Jun Yu raised his muscular arm…
