CH 179

Chapter 179: This matter is settled

Le Yao Yao could feel Nian Sulan’s piercing gaze. She could understand why she was so enraged.

After all, she was merely a eunuch. Underneath the eyes of all these nobles, she wasn’t worth a dime.

So now that this almighty, respectable King of Hell was graciously carrying her, how could she not be stunned?

However, Nian Sulan’s intense reaction was causing Le Yao Yao to feel intense pressure. She felt like she was a mistress that was caught by the main wife.

Thinking of this, Le Yao Yao couldn’t help but raise her head and stare at the King of Hell’s hidden face. She stuttered, “P-Prince Rui, Miss N-Nian….”

Before Le Yao Yao could complete her sentence, Leng Jun Yu turned to Nangong Jun Xi, “Junior brother, you shall take Sulan home!”

Leng Jun Yu’s voice was icy cold and there was no room of bargaining at all.

Hearing this, Nangong Jun Xi was astonished. He yelped, “What?!”

Clearly, Nangong Jun Xi wasn’t expecting this. Nian Sulan also found it unbelievable. After he made that demand, she looked at his expressionless face.

He didn’t even give her a look. His eyes were on the eunuch the whole time…

Could this eunuch meant more to him than she did?

Now, Nian Sulan’s face was completely white…

—–

Currently, there was silence all around. Nearby, there was a faint sound of someone hitting the gong. From time to time, dogs’ barking could be heard. But that was all.

The pale moonlight gently splattered over the rooftops and cast a layer of shadow.

If a person were to walk alone, it would be rather frightening.

Le Yao Yao wasn’t alone, but her heart was still unstable due to other reasons.

Because, she was still in the King of Hell’s arms!

She was totally fine now but Leng Jun Yu wouldn’t put her down.

Could the King of Hell be addicted to carrying her? Although she wasn’t heavy, he should be quite tired after carrying her for such a far distance, right?

But Leng Jun Yu acted like it was nothing. His icy face still made it impossible for others to read him. Le Yao Yao couldn’t help but recalled what had happened earlier.

Previously, when they were getting of the boat, Nian Sulan was very upset. However, despite how much she whined and complained, ultimately, she was taking home by Nangong Jun Xi. Nangong Jun Xi was assigned the task of protecting her.

Since Dongfang Bai was going the same direction as them, they departed on the same carriage.

Technically, all of them could’ve gotten on the same carriage. It would only be a bit of extra work for the coachman. However, the King of Hell wanted them to leave first.

Knowing this, Dongfang Bai lightly nodded his head and bid them farewell. But at this moment, another coachman ran over anxiously. He was sweating nonstop and he looked horrified.

Apparently, one of the wheels were damaged and the carriage needed to be fixed the next day before it could move again.

Surprisingly, the King of Hell calmly responded, “That’s fine.” Then, underneath the shocking stare of the coachman, he continued to carry her as he began to walk back.

They were around two hours away from the residence. Based on the King of Hell’s ability, he could arrive in less than the time it took to burn an incense. But rather than rushing back, the King of Hell was walking very, very slowly. It was as if he wanted to take a stroll.

Could he have forgotten that she was in his arms?

Thinking of this, Le Yao Yao couldn’t help but blink her lovely pupils. Then, she bit her red lips and spoke up, “Umm. Prince Rui, this servant is fine. This servant can walk on his own…”

Although they were the only ones on the road, it would still be quite awkward if he kept carrying her. What would others think if they saw them?

However, the silent man continued to walk and there was no pause to his steps. He walked at the exact same pace.

Did he hear her or not?

Just as Le Yao Yao was about to say something again, she heard his low raspy voice from above.

“This is very good.”

This is very good?! What does that mean?

Before she could ask, Leng Jun Yu spoke up again.

“You want to learn how to play the guqin?”

“Eh….?”

Le Yao Yao reflected back on what happened earlier this afternoon with Dongfang Bai. She definitely wanted to learn.

Thinking of this, she honestly admitted, “Yes.”

Since she had arrived here, her routines had been very predictable. Sometimes, it was quite boring. So after she heard Dongfang Bai playing the guqin, she fell in love with it.

If she could play like him one day, that would be amazing!

“From tomorrow onward, this Prince will personally teach you how to play.”

“Ah?!?!?! P-P-P…..”

Oh God!? Was she hearing things? Or could the King of Hell be drunk?

He actually said he wanted to personally teach her how to play the guqin?

Wasn’t he super busy with the country’s affairs? Plus, now he has to deal with the hot Nian Sulan too!!? He shouldn’t have any spare time at all!!! How could he find time to teach her guqin?

Le Yao Yao was in shock. But she was slowly snapping out of it. She planned to decline.

After all, the King of Hell had an unpredictable personality. She was afraid she would turn ill if she spent more time with him.

Also, she had already asked Dongfang Bai to teach her. He was going to be her teacher!

One is an icy, ruthless King of Hell. The other is a warm, elegant brother. Even an idiot would know who to choose!

Unexpectedly, it was as if Leng Jun Yu could read her mind. Before she could say a word, he gave her a cold glare that brought shivers up her entire body. She nearly fell out of his arms.

He growled, “What? You’re unwilling?”

“Eh?! N-n-n-no… this servant does not dare….”

Seeing the King of Hell’s menacing glare and hearing his warning tone, Le Yao Yao felt as if he would tear her into five pieces if she said something wrong.

So now, Le Yao Yao was shaking her head like the waves. She also had a fake smile on her face as she praised Leng Jun Yu.

“Prince Rui’s music ability is beyond excellent! How could servant be unwilling? Servant is super willing! In addition, servant’s admiration to the Prince is like the unending torrential rain!”

Flattery was a skill that all servants must possess. If one wanted things done, they must have a sweet mouth. Plus, it was free!

The King of Hell seemed pleased by her response. The corners of his mouth curved into a faint smile. “If that is the case, this matter is settled.”

“Eh….”

Initially, Le Yao Yao had planned on getting out of the King of Hell’s arms. But after he freaked her out, Le Yao Yao felt extremely drowsy. She couldn’t help but slowly close her eyes.

Leng Jun Yu’s scent was intoxicating, and her beating heart hypnotized her to sleep…

Le Yao Yao had no idea that Leng Jun Yu was observing her while she slept. A flash of tenderness appeared in his icy pupils. (end of Chapter 136 raws)
