Leng Jun Yuâs voice had no temperature. It was similar to the cold wintry twelfth lunar month; causing others to shiver from fright.
The eunuch that came in was terrified. He couldnât stop trembling as he stuttered.
âT-this s-servant i-is Xiao Li Zi. The chief manager sent me to serve you, P-PrinceâŚâ
It took a lot of effort for him to complete his sentence. Xiao Li Ziâs thin body was still shuddering. He looked very pitiful; like a yellow leaf being blown around by fierce wind.
Hearing Xiao Li Ziâs words, Leng Jun Yuâs eyebrows furrowed even deeper. His eyes flashed.
âWhere is Xiao Yao Zi?â
âT-to respond to the Prince, Xiao Yao Zi is currently going through punishment. The chief manager has ordered him to kneel by the entrance door!â
âPunished by kneeling?â
Hearing this, Leng Jun Yuâs eyes flickered and he thought about it. In his residence, whenever the servants did something wrong, they had to go through punishment. Punished by kneeling was already considered a light punishment. However, as he thought about it, Leng Jun Yu couldnât help but turn around and gazed at the rainy weather outside.
Although it was almost summer, the night temperature was undoubtedly much colder than the day. On top of that, there was a rainstorm outside. It must be extremely cold right now.
Leng Jun Yu thought about the delicate adorable little eunuch with anxious watery pupils and instantly felt his heart ache.
How can that tiny body handle being swept by wind and battered by the rain?
Thinking of this, Leng Jun Yuâs eyes subconsciously revealed signs of care.
Although it was very subtle, if anyone saw, they would have thought the Sun had risen from the West.
After all, this was the cold and ruthless King of Hell weâre talking about. When has he ever revealed so much kindness towards anyone? Plus, this was towards an eunuch?!
Leng Jun Yu wasnât aware of his own behaviour. He didnât even think about it as he spoke â
âTell the chief manager that I want Xiao Yao Zi to serve me in my bath!â
ââ-
Oh God! It was as if there was a hole in the sky. The heavy rain just wouldnât stop. It was pounding down so violently that her body was aching everywhere!
Currently, Le Yao Yao was drenched. There wasnât a single dry spot on her body.
Also, right now, she felt like this body didnât belong to her (it wasnât hers to begin with). It was very awkward and heavy.
Her hands were stiff and her knees were numb. But she didnât dare to loosen her grip. Her eyes were covered by a layer of rain as she fixedly stared at the smoke of the burning incense as it rise in spirals.
It will be over soon! It will be over soon! I will get through the four hours. Then, I can change my clothes and return to rest in my room.
Damn it. She was so hungry and cold right nowâŚ
F**k this slave-owning society! Oh God, canât you just strike me with lightning and send me back to the 21st century? I donât want to stay here!
Le Yao Yao yelled from within. Sadly, there was just unlimited rain but no lightning. Her wish will not come true.
Just as she was hopelessly sighing on the inside, suddenly, and old sounding voice entered her ears.
âXiao Yao Zi, you may get up now.â
It was the chief managerâs voice.
Hearing this, Le Yao Yaoâs face was shock. She looked at the incense that was still burning and was confused.
Has this evil eunuch finally discovered his conscience? He is letting her go?
Le Yao Yao was confused, but she didnât care anymore. Since he was letting her go, why would she still kneel here and suffer?
Remember, ever since she was little, she had never even kneeled for her parents. Since she had arrived here, she had already gotten down on her knees a few times for the eunuch. He had already taken advantage of her!
Also, due to the rain, her half bucket of water was now full. It was so heavy! She felt like her arms were going to break. Her knees were numb from long ago. Right now, she couldnât even stand up.
In the end, Le Yao Yao poured out the water from the bucket as she softly collapsed in the same direction. Then, she continuously shook her four limbs as she tried to restore them.
Initially, she thought the chief manager was allowing her to return back to her room so she could take a nap. Unexpectedly, the chief managerâs next line practically dragged Le Yao Yao into an ice cave.
âAfter your limbs are functioning again, remember to go serve the Prince for his bath. You better not forget!â He squealed.
âWHAT!?â
Hearing this, Le Yao Yao felt like she had been shocked by lightning. She was frozen stiff.
Serve the Prince with his bath?!
F**k!
I hate this slave-owning society!!!
ââ
The rainstorm was violent and the sky was like a black whirlpool. It looked like it was going to swallow the entire mother earth. Very frightening indeed.
On the contrary, there was a totally different scenery in Prince Ruiâs room.
Prince Rui was born into an endless amount of wealth and power. Naturally, his living environment was extraordinary!
Behind his residence were a variety of peach blossom trees. Although peach blossoms were sparse at the beginning of summer, there was a lot of jasmine growing beneath the peach blossom trees.
The emerald leaves were the colour of dark green jade, and the tiny petals from within looked extremely cute.
The lovely fragrance was very sweet. Those would smelt it would feel like their lives were free of worry.
In between the back mountain and the residence was a road paved by cobblestone where it lead to a hot spring.
The jade pavilion was richly ornamented. It matched the hot spring very well as the air appeared very misty from the hot steam. It made everything looked almost like paradise!
Le Yao Yao had changed into a clean eunuch uniform and was now staring at the present scenery with disbelief. Her beautiful eyes were round and her mouth was opened so big that a sparrow could fly inside.
She couldnât help but sigh.
Woahhhh. The rich sure knows how to enjoy life!
It was obvious that the spring wasnât natural. It was man-made.
How much did it cost?
For someone like her, making two silver taels a month, she will probably never get to experience this luxury eh?
Le Yao Yao lamented as she looked around the spring.
âHuh? How come there is no one here?â
Didnât the chief manager say the Prince was inside? I donât see him?!
Suddenly, there was a âwa laâ sound and a man that was as handsome as a God appeared in front of her; popping out from the gleaming reflections of the hot spring.
