Chapter 95: Starving

Le Yao Yao dismissed herself right after Leng Jun Yu’s orders. Soon, she returned with the dinner the kitchen had prepared. She was being a good eunuch and serving on the side.

Honestly, she was very hungry.

After all, while she was in the Study, she had used a lot of brain power. So now, she was tired, thirsty, and hungry. Too bad she was a servant!

She can only eat after the two masters were full.

Tonight, the kitchen prepared a lot of different varieties. Perhaps they knew the 7th Prince and the King of Hell were picky eaters.

There was simmer fried pork meatballs, steamed bass, spicy sweet shrimp, and swallow’s nest shark fin soup…

Everything looked and smelled so good! One look was enough to make a person drool.

Oh no! Her stomach was attacking itself!

Endure! Endure!

Don’t look! Don’t look! Then she won’t be so hungry!

Le Yao Yao was continuously trying to hypnotize herself. She had her head lowered as she stared at the tips of her toes.

Although she could control her eyes, she wasn’t able to control her ears.

The sounds of chopsticks coming in contact with the bowls and dishes were very loud and clear. The 7th Prince must be doing it on purpose!

He knew she was hungry, so he was purposely eating louder!

Ahhhhh!

She was so angry!

Damn him! She hopes he chokes on his food!

Deep down, Le Yao Yao was howling. Perhaps the Gods heard her plead and felt sorry for her. Her wish actually came true.

There was a slight cough, and someone tried to suppress it. But, Le Yao Yao noticed it regardless.

She lifted her head and smiled like she was rejoicing in other people’s misfortunes.

She was grateful the Gods granted her wish.

Because, the hateful 7th Prince was actually choking!

Seeing this, Le Yao Yao’s brows relaxed and she couldn’t help but giggle.

“Eh…*cough cough*….You, You damn servant. W-what are you laughing about?”

The 7th Prince’s face was red. He was coughing and glaring at Le Yao Yao at the same time.

“7th Prince, servant isn’t laughing at you!”

Humph! I am laughing at you! What are you going to do about it, punk!?!

The 7th Prince could only continue to give her death stares.

As for Le Yao Yao, she pretended she didn’t see it.

So, the 7th Prince made a cold humph sound and resumed to eating his meal again.

This time, he began to relish his food and made many loud comments.

“Oh God! This simmered fried pork meatballs is so delicious! And the sweet and sour spareribs taste sour and sweet. Mmmmm. It goes in smoothly and isn’t greasy at all. So soooooo tasty!!”

Although Le Yao Yao tried her best not to look at Nangong Jun Xi’s face, her ears could still hear his vivid and colourful words. Her mind continued to display many different variety of dishes.

In addition, she couldn’t stop her nose from inhaling the mouth watering aroma…

Oh God! She really wanted to eat!

*Gu lu*

Her stomach began to respond to Le Yao Yao’s thoughts. Furthermore, she kept swallowing her saliva. She looked so cute and pitiful.

Seeing this, Nangong Jun Xi’s smile deepened. He felt like he had won this round.

Humph! He wants to fight him? He doesn’t stand a chance!

Unexpectedly, suddenly Leng Jun Yu spoke up from across the table. His words caused the two of them to freeze –

“Sit down and dine with us.”

Leng Jun Yu’s voice was very light. If one weren’t paying attention, they would have thought they were hearing things.

Originally, Le Yao Yao thought she was having hallucinations.

But when she made eye contact with the King of Hell, and saw Nangong Jun Xi’s disbelief expression, she realized she wasn’t hearing things.

The King of Hell told her to sit and dine with them?! Oh God!

Although she was starving, she knew her position. In the Prince’s residence, her position was the lowest of the low. Yet, this man that was as handsome as an Immortal actually told her to sit and dine with them?

Although Le Yao Yao was bashful, she was also very pleased. It turned out the King of Hell could be considerate!

He knew how to be empathetic. Not bad!

“Senior brother, “he” is only a….” Before Nangong Jun Xi could say the word “servant”, Leng Jun Yu gave him a warning glare.

Both Nangong Jun Xi’s red lips and peach blossom eyes were opened wide.

After all, he honestly couldn’t believe it!

How could his senior brother have changed so much?!

For instance, in the past, his senior brother didn’t like to smile. But now, he smiles.

Also, his senior brother used to be icy cold. But now, he was beginning to care about others….although the “others” was only the little eunuch…

How come his senior brother was icy cold towards everyone except for the little eunuch?! Could it be because the little eunuch had some abilities and was quite attractive? His smile was cute too….

Oh my goodness. Could senior brother like the little eunuch?!

Nangong Jun Xi’s sudden thought shocked him. Now, his peach blossom eyes were taking turns staring at Le Yao Yao and Leng Jun Yu back and forth.

The more he observed, the more it seemed like there was something going on between the two…

After all, earlier he had already caught the little eunuch secretly peeking at senior brother. And senior brother treated the little eunuch very differently…

Except, currently, Le Yao Yao’s attention was all on Leng Jun Yu. So she didn’t notice Nangong Jun Xi’s stunned expression.

As for Leng Jun Yu, he probably sensed Le Yao Yao’s discomfort, so he opened his mouth to ease the situation, “Sit down!”

Although Leng Jun Yu’s voice was light, there was a “I won’t take no as an answer” attitude.

Hearing this, Le Yao Yao felt like she was possessed by a devil and lightly nodded her head.

“Yes, thanks Prince Rui.”

Then, Le Yao Yao quickly took a bowl and a pair of chopsticks as she sat in between Leng Jun Yu and Nangong Jun Xi.

This was the first time she was eating with the King of Hell, so Le Yao Yao felt very strange.

“If you’re hungry, eat!”

Because Le Yao Yao was truly too hungry, all she wanted to do was fill her empty tummy. She was literally eating like a wolf devouring a tiger.

Nangong Jun Xi couldn’t believe Le Yao Yao’s table manners. His peach blossom eyes were appalled as he exclaimed, “Are you the reincarnation of a starving ghost?!”

In response, Le Yao Yao rolled her eyes at him. However, her hands and mouth never stopped. She continued to stuff her mouth with food.

Seeing this, Nangong Jun Xi’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch. He had never seen someone eat with such terrible table manners his entire life.

As a noble, although Nangong Jun Xi was quite mischievous, he had a very good upbringing.

He ate, used, dressed the best. In addition, all his movements were confident and graceful. Furthermore, the people he was associated with were all jianghu people that were well respected. He had never encountered someone like the little eunuch.

Could “his” tiny mouth really fit so much food? He wasn’t going to choke?

While Nangong Jun Xi was wondering, suddenly Le Yao Yao’s eyes grew wide and the chopsticks fell from her hands.
