Leng Ye curled his lips into a slant and casually remarked, "Quite slender waist."
"..."
Xuan Fengqian remained silent, her hands braced on his cold dragon tail to prevent him from using too much force and breaking her waist.
Leng Ye received no response and his patience quickly ran out.
He suddenly moved behind her, ripped off her clothes, and commanded her without room for argument, "Turn around."
Xuan Fengqian's heart pounded like a drum. She had originally planned to break free of her restraints and escape to the shore, regardless of everything.
However, his strength was astonishing, and no matter how much she struggled, it was to no avail.
"Don't try to test my patience, turn around immediately."
In fact, Leng Ye had already discovered someone in the underworld when he tore down the barrier.
He initially thought it was some foolish woman trying to seduce him, and he planned to kill her as soon as possible.
But when he discovered that the person at the bottom of the spring resembled Xuan Fengqian, he inexplicably transformed back into human form and involuntarily stretched out his strong arms to tightly bind her waist.
"Didn't you say you didn't like me? If you don't like me, what are you doing now?"
"You...you must have mistaken me for someone else?"
Xuan Fengqian deliberately lowered her voice, casually conjured a handful of stardust, and just as Leng Ye was about to straighten her body, she fiercely threw it into his eyes.
Unaware of the cold night, he was blinded by stardust and suddenly released the person in his arms.
"Xuan Fengqian, are you courting death?"
"You must have mistaken me for someone else..."
Xuanfeng Qian deftly picked up the clothes he had torn off and slipped ashore like a fish right under his nose.
After getting ashore, Xuan Fengqian ran towards the back of the artificial hill, glancing back at the dark surface of the spring.
She thought to herself, the night was as dark as ink, and the bottom of the spring was so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. Even if you were carrying a lantern, you might not be able to see her figure clearly.
Furthermore, she didn't let Leng Ye see her face clearly and deliberately changed her voice. Even if he had some suspicions about her, he shouldn't be able to produce any solid evidence.
Little did they know...
As she climbed ashore, the cool moonlight shone directly on her gleaming wounds!
Leng Ye never expected that as soon as he surfaced, he would see Xuan Fengqian's miserable injuries.
"..."
He was initially furious, but he couldn't hold back and was amused by her pitiful little bottom.
"Foolish woman, she only knows how to cover her face but not her wounds..."
His mood suddenly brightened, and he stepped out of the Melting Moon Cold Spring, striding towards the direction in which Xuan Feng had fled.
"Demon Lord, the Heavenly Princess is unwell and is sitting on the eaves, weeping. Would you like to go and see her?" Jingzhe rushed to Leng Ye, panting, and pointed towards the east wing of the Purple Nether Palace.
"Who provoked her?"
Leng Ye frowned, but seeing Jing Zhe's evasive gaze, he realized that he had been so angry with Xuan Fengqian that he had forgotten to put on his clothes.
Fortunately, Jing Que, with his keen insight, handed Leng Ye clean clothes, cleverly resolving his awkward situation.
"Any news from the Nightmare?"
With an unyielding, icy expression, Leng Ye rose into the air, seemingly about to fly towards the east wing.
"The Nightmare Demon is making every effort to investigate, and no abnormalities have been found so far."
Jing Que answered truthfully, but a sense of confusion arose in his heart.
He originally thought that Leng Ye would no longer care about trivial matters after hearing that Xuan Qianning was unwell.
Unexpectedly, Leng Ye didn't seem to care much about Xuan Qianning.
He gently tugged at Jingzhe's arm and lowered his voice, saying, "Why do I feel like the Demon Lord's mind isn't on the Heavenly Princess? But half an hour ago, the Demon Lord clearly said that he has a family and doesn't want those kidnapped female prisoners anymore."
