"What's wrong?"
Leng Ye's throat moved slightly, and his deep, mellow voice revealed a hint of barely perceptible guilt.
"Did you leave the incense burner in my room?"
Leng Ye quietly shifted his gaze and asked calmly, "What are you talking about?"
Xuanfeng Qian noticed that he didn't have the same vigor as usual, and instantly understood.
She asked him, slightly annoyed, "You were here last night?"
Leng Ye was unwilling to lie, but since he had gone to such great lengths to erase her memory, he naturally couldn't tell the truth.
After a moment of contemplation, he feigned sudden realization and replied in a deep voice, "That is indeed the case."
"What are you here for?"
"Of course I'll take you back to your room. You're so drunk, I don't feel comfortable leaving you alone by the Jade Pool."
Xuan Fengqian clearly didn't believe him, so she pointed to the wound on his forehead and asked, "How did you get hurt?"
“Last night, I was about to take off your shoes for you, but you threw the incense burner at my head instead. I was furious, so I left you and quickly departed from Qingfeng Palace,” Leng Ye said without batting an eye.
After hearing Leng Ye's explanation, Di Jun felt even more that he was shameless and brazen.
He saw it clearly yesterday; Leng Ye clearly had malicious intentions and wanted to force himself on her.
They didn't take off their shoes, but they stripped the person completely naked.
If Xuan Fengqian hadn't reacted so violently, why would Leng Ye have stopped halfway through?
After hearing Leng Ye's explanation, Xuan Fengqian became even more certain that he was lying.
She stormed into the inner room, and after a while, she threw the broken pieces of the incense burner into Leng Ye's arms. "Why did you sneak into my room carrying an incense burner that was burning with intoxicating incense?"
"Bewitching incense? I didn't know there was bewitching incense in the incense burner. I just thought it smelled really good. Plus, there were flames flickering inside, so I used it as a night lamp and carried it with me."
"Does your word still have any credibility?"
This morning, Xuan Fengqian discovered that her underpants had disappeared and her inner garment was on backwards, which made her feel that something was amiss.
Now it seems most likely that Leng Ye was behind it.
Believe it or not, it's up to you.
Leng Ye had been explaining to her for so long that his patience had long since run out.
"Shameless!"
The thought that she might have lost her virginity to him last night made Xuan Feng feel disgusted, as if she had swallowed a fly.
Leng Ye was worried that she would cry and make a scene like last night, so he had no choice but to patiently explain, "What's shameless about it? I really didn't touch you."
"Only a fool would believe you'd be so kind as to bring me back."
"Then tell me, what did I do to you?"
"I..."
Xuan Fengqian wanted to ask him directly why her clothes were scattered here and there, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.
Her skin was ultimately a little too thin.
Leng Ye thought to himself, "If I had known that Xuan Fengqian had wronged me so much, I shouldn't have been soft-hearted last night."
God knows how painful it was for him to suppress his pent-up desire all night.
What's most infuriating is that she wronged him!
"Xuan Fengqian, I have a question for you." Leng Ye didn't want to frighten him, so he suppressed his anger and tried to speak in a gentle tone, "Is there anything wrong with your body?"
"do what?"
Xuan Fengqian stared at him warily, hesitated for a long time, and then shook her head.
"Does your back ache? Are your legs numb?" Leng Ye asked again.
"Not sour, not numb."
"Are there any suggestive marks left on your body?"
"No."
Xuan Fengqian subconsciously tightened his collar, his sharp gaze suddenly lingering on the faint lipstick mark near Leng Ye's Adam's apple.
This mark...
Could it be something she left behind?
No, she didn't wear lipstick at all last night.
If that's the case, then the lipstick mark on his neck must have been left by someone else.
Thinking of this, Xuanfeng Qian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Leng Ye was completely unaware of the red lipstick mark left by Xuan Qianning on his neck. He said righteously, "Still don't believe me? If I really did something, you would still be lying on the bed right now. How could you not feel anything?"
"..."
Upon hearing Leng Ye's words, Xuan Fengqian suddenly realized that he might have wronged him.
Just then, Wuya also noticed the lipstick mark on Leng Ye's neck.
It stretched its slender neck, pointed angrily at the ambiguous red mark, and cried out, "Gah! Which wild woman left this?"
"Um?"
Leng Ye glanced at Wuya, who was furious, and said in a deep voice, "Why are you making such a fuss?"
"Gah~"
Wuya lost his temper instantly after being scolded by Leng Ye.
It curled its wings into a fist and gently pounded Leng Ye's chest, whimpering softly, "Your Majesty, is the lipstick mark on your neck left by Xuan Qianning? I saw the bloodstains on her bed this morning. Did you really consummate your marriage with her?"
Leng Ye immediately covered Wuya's mouth, so angry that he almost twisted its head off.
You really know how to bring up the most sensitive topic!
"No, I didn't touch her," Leng Ye explained repeatedly.
Although he said this to Wuya, he only cared whether Xuanfengqian heard it or not.
"Hmph! What about the blood on that bed?"
Wuya hadn't expected Lengye to explain all this to it, and it was secretly overjoyed.
The reason it pretended to be unhappy was simply because it wanted Leng Ye to coax it again.
“Last night, I only went to Yaochi once. After that, I sat at my desk in Ningxiang Palace to handle official business.”
"Your Majesty, you must be tired. I'll make you a nourishing soup right away."
Wuya, in a sweet, coquettish voice, gave Leng Ye a flirtatious wink.
It was so overjoyed that it forgot there was an even bigger "scourge" in the Nine Netherworld Demon Prison.
"Oh no! Your Highness, something has happened to the Broom Star Lord!"
Just then, a young fairy maiden rushed into Qingfeng Palace in a panic.
"What's wrong with him?" Xuan Fengqian asked with concern, her expression turning serious.
"Your Highness, the Broom Star Lord fainted outside Qingfeng Palace and has now been sent back to Fuchen Residence. At this moment, all the fairies have rushed to Fuchen Residence."
"I'll go take a look too."
Xuan Fengqian shook off the incense ash in her hand, completely ignoring Leng Ye and Di Jun who were blocking her way on the left and right, casually made a spell, and instantly teleported out of Qingfeng Palace.
"You little brat, you're really not being fair. You've left me standing around for some lowly jinx."
Di Jun, feeling awkward, lightly waved his folding fan and swept past Leng Ye without glancing to the side.
Leng Ye originally intended to follow Xuan Fengqian closely and keep an eye on her.
But then he thought about it again. He was, after all, the Demon Lord of the Nine Netherworlds. It would indeed be beneath his dignity to follow behind a mere immature woman all day long.
"Never mind. It's broad daylight, nothing bad can happen."
Leng Ye said this, but that wasn't what he really thought.
The next moment, he left Wuya behind and hurriedly rushed to Fuchen Residence.
