Xuan Qianning shook her head, a hint of shyness appearing on her fair, snow-white cheeks. "What are you saying, Your Majesty? It is my greatest honor to serve Your Majesty so closely."
"You were kept awake all night by me, and you didn't even utter a sound?"
Seeing that her eyes were red and sunken, Leng Ye sighed softly.
Xuan Qianning was afraid that Leng Ye would leave her alone to find Xuan Fengqian again, so she explained repeatedly, "I am not used to sleeping in unfamiliar beds. I am new to Jiuyou and am not used to it. However, with Your Majesty's company tonight, I feel much more at ease."
"It's not dawn yet, sleep a little longer and make sure you're well-rested. Tomorrow evening, you must accompany me to the Celestial Realm for a homecoming banquet."
Leng Ye rolled off the bed, holding the flickering oil lamp in one hand, and made as if to walk towards the door.
"Your Majesty, aren't you going to sleep?"
"I'm going out for a stroll."
The night was still and quiet; he pushed open the door and left without looking back.
Xuan Qianning hesitated, her gaze following Leng Ye's receding figure until the demon princess guarding outside quietly closed the door.
"The hatred of having one's husband stolen is irreconcilable!"
Xuan Qianning hissed in a low voice, her tightly clenched handkerchief being torn to shreds in an instant.
Having been given a second chance at life, she would never be as pathetic as she was in her previous life.
Xuan Fengqian wants to steal her man, but she will inevitably pay an extremely heavy price.
Leng Ye originally intended to rest in the side hall for a while, but somehow, he ended up there by some strange twist of fate.
He habitually squinted at the robe hanging in the yard, which had been poked with several holes.
"Damn it! What good is it if it can't even do laundry?"
He muttered a frustrated curse, his words dripping with dissatisfaction, "Jingzhe, where is she?"
"Reporting to the Demon Lord, Princess Xiantian has returned to her room to rest."
The Awakening of Insects, hidden in the shadows, suddenly appeared and answered respectfully.
Leng Ye snorted coldly, intending to settle accounts with her, when his eyes inadvertently caught sight of the underpants hanging in the corner.
He suddenly turned around, his sharp gaze fixed on the still-dry white underpants, unable to look away for a long time.
Seeing this, Jingzhe was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe, fearing that Leng Ye would press him for details and he might accidentally let something slip.
"It's washed quite clean."
Leng Ye was completely unaware of the unusual nature of the Awakening of Insects. He simply took off his still-damp underwear, his thin lips curving upwards into a bewitching smile.
Jingzhe nervously stared at Leng Ye, who suddenly burst into laughter. Just as she was about to tell him everything, she saw him casually cast a spell and put his underpants on.
"Demon Lord, it's...not dry yet."
"It's alright."
Leng Ye seemed to be in a good mood. Although he tried his best to suppress the smile on his face, there was still a hint of joy in the corners of his eyes and brows.
Jingzhe swallowed nervously, no longer daring to reveal the truth to Lengye.
Where did Wuya go?
Not wanting Jingzhe to see his current joy, Leng Ye subtly changed the subject.
"Reporting to the Demon Lord, Wuya should have returned to his room to rest with Princess Xiantian." Jingzhe dared not hide the truth and had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell the truth.
"Outrageous! They won't even spare a bird..."
Leng Ye was furious and stormed off.
When he reached the front of the house, he intended to kick the door open and enter, but then he heard a pig-like snoring coming from inside, and he changed his mind.
He then quietly pushed open the door.
Despite the particularly loud snoring, it didn't feel noisy on a cold night.
He actually found women who snore and grind their teeth to be quite adorable.
