âMmm. Xiao Tu Zi, you have made a great contribution. The Emperor heard your suggestions and couldnât stop praising you. He said he must heavily reward you!â
Hearing Leng Jun Yuâs words, Le Yao Yao was thrilled. Xiao Mu Zi was also very excited.
âHaha! Really?! The Emperor couldnât stop praising meâŚ?â Le Yao Yao beamed.
More importantly, he wants to heavily reward her. Oh God! This time, sheâs going to be rich!! Muahahahahaha!
As Le Yao Yao thought about it, it was as if a huge golden mountain had appeared in front of her face. In addition, the sky was continuously raining banknotes with a value of silverâŚ
Money money money!!
In the past, she was never crazy over money. She wasnât greedy either. After all, she came from a rich background. There was nothing she lacked or felt an urge to splurge on.
But now, it was a different story. She had arrived in this unfamiliar ancient era without any real family. She doesnât know the identity of this body nor its past. Worse of all, she had to take the role of a little eunuch! She was merely a servant, and her monthly wage was so low! At this rate, she was going to live a very difficult life!
So, if she was given a huge sum of money, she wouldnât have to worry about her living expenses for the rest of her life!
By now, Le Yao Yaoâs eyes were sparkling like copper coins. Seeing this, the corner of Leng Jun Yuâs mouth curved into a smile.
He had seen many greedy individuals throughout his life, but he had never seen such an obvious and cute one.
Initially, he had planned to heavily reward the little eunuch for his contributions. Whatever âheâ wanted, âheâ would have granted. After all, âheâ deserved it.
But when Leng Jun Yu heard about âhisâ plan to save up and leave this place, he was extremely upset and irritated.
His heart felt congested; as if there was a piece of cotton stuck inside. He loathe the feeling.
Because, he didnât want âhimâ to leave. He wanted âhimâ to stay. So he must think of a way to cut off all his methods of leaving!
Thinking of this, Leng Jun Yuâs cold pupils narrowed; with a trace of radiant glow.
âYes. This Prince must also heavily reward Xiao Tu Zi! Tell me, Xiao Tu Zi, what type of reward would you like?â
Originally, Le Yao Yao was planning to tell the King of Hell to reward her with some silver taels. But after thinking about it, wouldnât the King of Hell think she was extremely greedy?
Plus, deep down, everyone knows what eunuchs wanted. It was unnecessary to say it out loud. Based on the King of Hellâs intelligence, he should definitely know she wants money. The only question would be, how much?
Rather than being so demanding, she might as well just let the King of Hell decide!
He was so wealthy. Surely, he wouldnât be a cheap ass, right?
Now that she had thought it over, Le Yao Yao pretended to a modest individual as she lowered her eyes. âActually, servant has not thought about what type of reward to receive. Being able to help share the Princeâs burden is already a huge blessing to servant.â
Hehe. Everyone likes flattery! The King of Hell should be no exception!
Le Yao Yao was secretly delighted. Although her head was lowered and her facial expressions couldnât be seen, Prince Rui could still tell what Le Yao Yao was thinking based on her spasmodic shoulders.
Leng Jun Yuâs smile deepened and his sexy voice followed.
âThis Prince has always been fair. This time, it is no exception. Since you havenât thought about what you wanted, then allow me to think.. HmmâŚwhat should I reward you?â
At this moment, the King of Hell suddenly paused and appeared to be deep in thought. His smiling pupils darted around Le Yao Yaoâs figure and he murmured.
âMm..youâre too thin. You must not be eating enoughâŚ.â
Although his voice was low, it was loud enough for those present to hear. Hearing the King of Hellâs words, Le Yao Yaoâs smile widened.
Yes yes! She is too thin! Thatâs why he must reward her heavily so she has money to buy quality food to nourish her body!
Or else, when will these boobs grow?
Even though she was technically a eunuch and it was extremely inappropriate to have boobs, females naturally want big boobs! She was no exception!!
Currently, Le Yao Yao was envisioning a very generous reward. Unexpectedly, the King of Hellâs next sentence made her feel like she had been shocked by lightning.
âSince that is so, this Prince will reward you a bowl of swallowâs nest* soup! It will help nourish your body!â
*This is a very expensive item. I didnât grow up in Asia so I donât see why itâs so great. I know itâs supposed to be rare and healthy, but swallowâs spit??? Gross! If you would like to learn more, go read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edible_bird%27s_nest
âW-whatâŚ.?! A bowl of swallowâs nest soup?!â
S-s-she must have heard incorrectly, right?!
AhhhhhhhhhhhâŚ..
âOf course it isnât just one bowl! I should be more clear; a bowl a day!â
Seeing Le Yao Yaoâs speechless and flabbergasted expression, it wasnât totally obvious whether she liked or disliked the reward. But Leng Jun Yu was quite sure it was the latter.
However, even so, he must destroy all his thoughts of leaving so that âheâ will remain with him forever!
Furthermore, he honestly want this little guy to nourish his body. He looked so tiny that a heavy wind could blow him away. That will simply not do! It made him worried.
Le Yao Yao had no idea what the King of Hell was thinking. All she knew was that her dream was crushed.
Originally, she thought she was going to receive a very generous reward.
Actually, the King of Hell was very generous. He bestowed her a bowl of swallowâs nest soup a day.
It was swallowâs nest!
Although she often drank this back home, in this era, plus her current status, it was unheard of!
ButâŚ.could she redeem it for cash?
âUmmâŚPrince Rui, could IâŚ..â
âHmm? Xiao Tu Zi has something to say? Or is it because youâre not satisfied by my choice of reward?!â
WuwuâŚâŚ
Her moneyyyyyyâŚâŚ.
On the inside, Le Yao Yao was howling like a ghost and crying internal tears. But how would she dare to say ânoâ to this unstable King of Hell?
Unless she didnât want to live anymore?!
So, despite feeling very wronged, she had to strongly suppress her resentment. Thinking, although I lost the watermelon, but at least I have a banana! (tl: LOL ok)
The more she thought about it, the calmer she felt. So she looked like she was about to shed tears of gratitude as she responded enthusiastically, âNo no no, that was not servantâs intentions. Servant is just too grateful to Prince Rui. Prince Rui cares so much about servantâs body! Servant admires Prince like the torrential river waterâŚ.â I hope it sweeps you away!
Leng Jun Yu could tell that Le Yao Yao was actually very unwilling on the inside, even though he was sweet talking. But for some reason, Leng Jun Yu felt great and relaxed.
He had seen too many crafty and treacherous people in the Palace. In his eyes, Le Yao Yao was like a little bunny amongst the pack of wolves. He was rare and precious!
Now that he knows the little bunny will have no choice but to obediently remain by his side, the King of Hellâs mood clearly improved.
Due to the flood and drought incidents, he hadnât slept for the past three nights. Since he had also consumed quite a bit of alcohol earlier, he was finally feeling it. Now, he just wanted to sleep.
However, since Le Yao Yaoâs ankle was still injured, Xiao Mu Zi served him instead.
After Le Yao Yao thanked Prince Rui for her reward, she went back to her room by herself.
After she took a bath and rinsed her mouth, Le Yao Yao sat down to apply medication on her ankle.
It was some godly medicine. This morning, she couldnât even walk. But by the afternoon, the swelling had evidently decreased. Now, it was simply pink but it didnât hurt anymore. She could freely walk.
Seeing this, Le Yao Yao was very happy.
After she was done applying medicine, Le Yao Yao lied on the bed. In no time, she was sound asleep.
