Chapter 210: Tong Ya

“I can take it off, but you have to do it.”

“What?!?!”

Could “he” be telling the truth? “He” was really a eunuch?! Le Yao Yao just happened to look identical to Slug?

Thinking of this, Nangong Jun Xi instantly felt shaken. In addition, he was hesitant. Should he personally inspect and take off “his” clothes? 

But if he was really a male, then what?

While Nangong Jun Xi’s thoughts were going wild in his mind, Le Yao Yao’s back was already drenched from cold sweat.

Right now, she was just gambling. She knew she was being selfish. But she didn’t want to be Princess Lulu and marry Nangong Jun Xi. She only wanted to be with the King of Hell.

Le Yao Yao could detect the hesitation from Nangong Jun Xi. Seeing this, she felt more confident and took a step forward.

“Come and take off my clothes then!”

She deliberately raised her voice to show a more powerful stance.

Nangong Jun Xi subconsciously took a step back.

Initially, Le Yao Yao thought Nangong Jun Xi wasn’t going to do anything. But Nangong Jun Xi actually raised his hand towards her.

“Fine, I’ll take it off.”

Seeing this, Le Yao Yao felt as if her heart was going to explode.

Oh God! He really was going to take off her clothes?!

Currently, it was as if someone had struck her acupoint. She couldn’t move at all.

All Le Yao Yao could do was stare with her eyes opened wide. She didn’t even dare to breathe as the hand approached closer and closer towards her.

Just as Le Yao Yao was about to protest and stop Nangong Jun Xi, unexpectedly, he stopped.

“Forget it. I doubt you would have the courage to lie to me.” Nangong Jun Xi bitterly stated. Then, he took back his hand but a huge disappointment could be seen on his face.

On the contrary, Le Yao Yao felt very relieved. Whew. Luckily he didn’t do it. Or else…

By the time Le Yao Yao looked up again, Nangong Jun Xi had already turned around and left dejectedly.

Seeing this, Le Yao Yao felt a bit guilty….

—–

After Nangong Jun Xi left, Le Yao Yao continued with her unfinished job. However, she was no longer focused on her task. Instead, she was sweeping very robotically.

Oh God! So, she really was Princess Lulu? She was the person that Nangong Jun Xi was so disgusted by that he actually fled to Prince Rui’s residence to avoid?!

Who would’ve thought that he tried so hard to escape yet still encountered her?

Oh God! What type of joke are you playing on me?!

Le Yao Yao didn’t know whether she should laugh or cry. Just as she wanted to howl to the Heavens and vent, she heard a strange sound coming from the tree in front of her.

Le Yao Yao immediately went to the source of the sound to check.

At this moment, she was standing in the back courtyard. She was surrounded by osmanthus flower trees. Since it was the summertime, the trees were filled with yellow flower buds. She could already faintly smell the lovely scent.

Suddenly, Le Yao Yao noticed a sneaky figure leaping from the wall onto the tree. The person was about to climb down from the tree.

Since the branches blocked her sight of vision, Le Yao Yao couldn’t see the face of the intruder. But, the person was dressed in a male white outfit. His hair was tied up in a long ponytail. She was positive it was a man!?!

Could it be a thief?

Wow, a thief actually dared to sneak into the residence on a sunny afternoon!? Wait… this scenario seems a bit familiar. Didn’t she encounter the exact same thing not too long ago?! 

While Le Yao Yao was deep in thought, the man in white had already leaped off from the tree.

Le Yao Yao didn’t even think as she marched with her broomstick and aimed to smack the person.

No one noble would be sneaking in like this! 

The person’s back was facing Le Yao Yao. His steps were steady and he was also very cautious.

Although Le Yao Yao attacked without making any noise, the figure sensed her and swiftly dodged the hit.

Seeing this, Le Yao Yao’s brows were raised and she was about to scream for help. Unexpectedly, the person was quicker than her and reached over to cover her mouth.

In a forced low voice, he growled, “If you want to remain unharmed, don’t yell.”

“Eh….!”

Could someone actually ate the heart of a bear and have the courage of a leopard? He was going to rob the residence during broad daylight!!?!?!

“If you are obedient and answer my questions, I will let you go afterwards.”

Since Le Yao Yao’s little mouth was covered, she could only nod to show her cooperation.

When the person was certain that Le Yao Yao wouldn’t dare to fight back, he slowly released his hand from her mouth.

The moment Le Yao Yao regained freedom, she began to take huge gulps of air. Before she turned around to see who the person was, she was questioned.

“Let me ask you. Is the 7th Prince Nangong Jun Xi currently staying at this residence?”

“Eh..!?”

Le Yao Yao immediately turned around to see who had asked her the question.

The moment she turned around, she made eye contact with a pair of lovely pupils.

The intruder was approximately fourteen to fifteen years of age.

His face was comparable to good jade. He had red lips and white teeth; snow white skin, curved brows and almond shaped eyes…

It was a woman!?!

After taking a closer look, Le Yao Yao realized it was a woman.

After all, she was a fake eunuch. So obviously she could tell when a woman was dressed as a man.

Plus, what type of man would have eyes so moist and bright? 

While Le Yao Yao was checking out the girl in front of her, the girl was also astonished by Le Yao Yao’s beauty.

This was the first time she had ever seen such a good looking lad.

Sadly… she saw Le Yao Yao’s eunuch uniform and felt sorry for “him”.

As for Le Yao Yao, she was wondering who the girl was.

How does she know Nangong Jun Xi was living here? Does she know him personally? If so, why was she secretly flipping herself over the wall of the back courtyard?

Not only that, she was dressed as a man! 

Strange! Very strange indeed! 

Le Yao Yao wasn’t the slightest bit afraid of the girl in front of her. Because, she could tell the girl was just a mischievous and naughty girl. She wasn’t someone dangerous.

Thinking of this, Le Yao Yao decided not to call for help. She calmly asked the girl, “Miss, do you know Nangong Jun Xi?”

“Eh?! How do you know I’m female?”

“Haha! It’s not hard at all! I could tell with one look. What type of guy would look so feminine?”

The girl wasn’t happy her disguise was so easily discovered, but she had other priorities.

“Anyway, so my second senior brother is really here!?”

“What?! Second senior brother?! Nangong Jun Xi is your second senior brother?!”

“Haha. That’s right!”

The girl smiled and decided to reveal her identity to Le Yao Yao. “My name is Tong Ya. What’s your name?”

“My name is Xiao Yao Zi.”

“Xiao Yao Zi!? Are you a eunuch from this residence?!”

Le Yao Yao nodded.

Tong Ya didn’t look down on her. Instead, she smiled and asked, “Do you know where my second senior brother is? Can you bring me to him?”

“Uh…”

Le Yao Yao was hesitant. After all, she really didn’t want to see Nangong Jun Xi again so soon. But Tong Ya was gazing at her with such a cute and hopeful expression. So, Le Yao Yao’s heart softened and she said, “Alright, I’ll take you to him.”

“Haha, Xiao Yao Zi, you’re such a kind person!”

Tong Ya smiled as if she was a child who had just received a yummy candy. It wasn’t that surprising though. After all, she was probably fourteen or fifteen years of age.

Thinking of this, Le Yao Yao decided to find out.

It turned out she was wrong.

“No! I’m already sixteen! I’m at a marriageable age!”

“Ah?!?” Le Yao Yao was flabbergasted.

In ancient times, fifteen was the legal age. You were considered an adult at fifteen and you could get married.

Seeing Tong Ya’s enthusiastic expression, Le Yao Yao couldn’t help but ask, “Ya’er, do you like Nangong Jun Xi?”
