Chapter 142: Leng Jun Yu’s roar

Actually, Le Yao Yao could swim.

When she was a child, there was a time that she had accidentally fallen into a pond. She nearly drowned, but fortunately, someone rescued her.

From that moment on, her father decided that she should learn how to swim.

At least, if she were ever to fall into the water again, she could save herself. After all, you can’t always rely on others to save you.

So, she joined a swimming class and actively pursued swimming.

In a few days, she learnt how to swim. Also, whenever she was home back in the 21st century, she would swim in the pool there as well.

But since Le Yao Yao was too angry just now, she didn’t want to come out. She was just holding onto her breath and sulking underwater.

However, after a minute or so, she needed to breathe, so Le Yao Yao quickly began to swim underwater towards shore.

When she came out, she heard a splash. It sounded like someone else had jumped in.

Hearing this, astonishment appeared on Le Yao Yao’s face. Then, she looked at the empty shore and realized the King of Hell had jumped into the lake.

Although the King of Hell had enough conscience to jump in to save her, it didn’t mean she could forgive him for his actions.

So, Le Yao Yao silently climbed ashore and disregarded the King of Hell.

Humph!

She was very mad. He can take his sweet time searching!

Although Le Yao Yao was soaked, it couldn’t extinguish the raging fire within her. So, Le Yao Yao left and returned indoors without turning back.

Everyone was stunned. Le Yao Yao had said she was going to use the washroom, but she returned drenched?! They were all wondering what had happened.

Originally, Le Yao Yao was in a fowl mood. But when she saw how much everyone cared about her, she felt much better.

However, she didn’t want to tell them the truth. So, she said she ended up tripping over the lake because she was too intoxicated.

Since no one was sober, they actually believed her. Suddenly, the room erupted with laughter.

“Haha! Brother Yao, you’re too weak, aren’t you!? You barely drank!!!”

“Haha, I know right?!?! How can you fall into the lake while going to take a piss?!! You’re so ridiculous!”

“Brother Yao, since you’re all wet, we should quickly leave! You must change into dry clothing as soon as possible or you might get sick!”

“True. Let’s go.”

Hearing Ru Shuang’s suggestion, Le Yao Yao lightly nodded and agreed.

Although it was summer, wearing soaked clothing was still extremely uncomfortable.

So after bidding farewell to everyone, Le Yao Yao went up to Dongfang Bai and said, “Brother Bai, we’re going to leave first.”

Hearing this, Dongfang Bai stood up. Although there was a smile on Le Yao Yao’s face, he could also sense the slight resentment between his brows.

He wasn’t sure what happened between Le Yao Yao and Leng Jun Yu, but Dongfang Bai was certain it wasn’t anything good.

But since Le Yao Yao didn’t want to explain, he will not ask.

“Alright, you guys return first then!”

Since Ru Shuang was worried Le Yao Yao would catch a cold, she wouldn’t allow Le Yao Yao to walk her home.

So, Le Yao Yao made Ru Shuang promise she’ll get home safe and then they went on their separate ways.

Le Yao Yao hurried towards the direction of Prince Rui’s residence.

After she returned, she quickly washed up and then went to bed. She had a quilt wrapped around her body like a tube.

Due to the cool breeze, her mind was a bit dizzy. In no time, she went to see the God of Dreams.

But while she was experiencing her sweet dreams, someone in Ruyi tavern was falling apart!

It was a quiet night. But Leng Jun Yu’s heart had never experienced such fright before.

His thoughts were running through his mind like a whirlwind.

He still hasn’t found him!

Could he be…..

The moment he thought of this possibility, Leng Jun Yu felt a strong fear; but more so, regret!

If he hadn’t been drowned in jealousy, he wouldn’t have forcefully kissed him.

Leng Jun Yu clearly knew how much “he” hated it whenever he did things without his consent.

Although Le Yao Yao was only a servant, he had quite a temper.

“He” didn’t like it when others tried to force him to do things he didn’t want to do. When “he” was mad, he would rage and even hit back.

But it was because Le Yao Yao was so unique and unmatchable that he likes him so much.

However, Le Yao Yao was missing now. Leng Jun Yu had been searching for so long, but he was still unable to find him.

Leng Jun Yu had never felt so discouraged and broken before.

It was as if a knife had stabbed into his heart.

If only he could turn back time…he definitely wouldn’t have forced him. Instead, he would only admire from afar….

But now, it was too late! He has no more chances!

Thinking of this, Leng Jun Yu was heartbroken and could no longer suppress his sorrows. He made a huge splash and roared to the moon.

“Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!”

Leng Jun Yu’s voice was comparable to a ferocious beast. His volume was so loud that it went straight through the clouds.

“Senior brother, what’s wrong?!” shouted Nangong Jun Xi.

Nangong Jun Xi has never seen his senior brother so upset before. So, he was very concerned.

As for the depressed Leng Jun Yu, he slowly closed his eyes and wouldn’t make eye contact with Nangong Jun Xi. He put all the blame on himself.

“It’s my fault. It’s all my fault. If it wasn’t for me, he wouldn’t be dead…..”

“He?”

Nangong Jun Xi was confused. “Who is he?!”

He honestly has no idea who in the world had the ability to make his senior brother so sad.

“It’s Xiao Tu Zi. He’s dead….”

“What?! Xiao Tu Zi is dead?! Senior brother, don’t joke around. Earlier, Xiao Zhu Zi came to say bye to us. He left already!”

All of a sudden, Leng Jun Yu reacted as if he had been shocked by lightning.

There was a pause. Then, his handsome face hardened. “What? When was this?”

“Two hours ago!? Xiao Zhu Zi had returned soaked. He said he had fallen into the lake because he was intoxicated. Then, he left! I came to find you because you’ve been gone for so long! Senior brother, what’s going on?!”

Based on Leng Jun Yu’s reactions, Nangong Jun Xi was sure something bad had happened between those two.

But Leng Jun Yu was in no mood to reply to Nangong Jun Xi.

Because, he realized he had been played!

The moment he recalled how unbearable the pain was, how scared he was to lose him, he felt like an idiot!

The more he thought about it, the more the flames ignited within his heart.

Then, like an infuriated beast, he looked up at the sky and roared –

“XIAO YAO ZI!!!!!!!!!!!!”
