Chapter 91: Is there something on my face?
Le Yao Yao felt like her brain was going to explode as she froze in her spot. Honestly, she could"ve closed her eyes and not look. But currently, her eyes would not listen to her command. Her eyes were greedy as they continued to admire the two bodies that were outside of the bathroom.
In addition, she couldn"t help but compare the King of h.e.l.l as well. The King of h.e.l.l was just a teeny bit hotter in terms of looks.
After they were done was.h.i.+ng themselves, Mei and Xing left one after another. After they were gone, Le Yao Yao slowly moved like a machine as she dressed herself and then returned back to her room.
However, the blush on her face wouldn"t fade for a very long time…

The very next day, Le Yao Yao woke up very early in the morning and quickly got changed. Then, she prepared the utensils necessary for Leng Jun Yu to freshen himself and headed to his room.
After knocking, she waited for Prince Rui to acknowledge her. Then, she carried the items inside.
The King of h.e.l.l was already awake. When he saw Le Yao Yao, his cold pupils flickered.
After Le Yao Yao had politely greeted the King of h.e.l.l, she began to dress him with ease.
She used to be very clumsy, but now it was a regular routine for her. Her movements were much smoother these days.
As for the King of h.e.l.l, he was clearly in a bad mood. Perhaps, it was because he didn"t know how to solve the scooping heart mystery. It was as if there was a dark, gloomy cloud over his head. He looked very grave.
In addition, his long and narrow pupils appeared to be unfocused. He seemed to be deep in thought.
His thin, attractive lips were currently one straight horizontal line. But even so, he was still very hot in Le Yao Yao"s eyes!
If only his personality was a bit better, and he was easier to get along with… how great would that be.
While Le Yao Yao was sighing on the inside, the King of h.e.l.l noticed Le Yao Yao would take secret peeks of him from time to time. His handsome face remained unmoved, but when Le Yao Yao took her last peek at him, Leng Jun Yu happened to make eye contact with her.
Their eyes collided and Le Yao Yao"s pulse began to accelerate. She was so nervous. Hence, she quickly lowered her head as low as possible. She was very annoyed at herself.
Why doesn"t she ever change her bad habit? Great. Now she was caught.
As Le Yao Yao muttered to herself, her cheeks were burning. Even though she didn"t take a look at herself in the mirror, she knew her face must be as red as a tomato.
So now, Le Yao Yao only stared at her toes. She didn"t dare to look at the King of h.e.l.l anymore.
But the King of h.e.l.l continued to stare at her in a fiery manner. She felt like the intensity of his gaze was going to burn two holes on her body.
Le Yao Yao felt very ashamed. She had no idea that her current expression was hilarious. She looked like a guilty child who had committed a crime and was caught. So cute and pitiful.
Leng Jun Yu"s gaze softened and the corner of his mouth curved into a smile. He was evidently delighted.
He had no idea why he felt so satisfied when the little eunuch kept sneaking peeks at him. If it was the old him, he would have been very annoyed. But now, as long as it"s this little eunuch, it was a great feeling.
Thinking of this, Leng Jun Yu opened his thin lips as he looked at the little brain that was only at his chest. He asked in his low voice, "What is it? Is this Prince"s face dirty?"
"Eh…?"
Le Yao Yao had no idea Leng Jun Yu would say something like this. She turned another shade redder.
"N-no….."
"Oh? Then why is Xiao Tu Zi watching me so attentively?"
Leng Jun Yu asked, but deep down, he knew nothing was wrong with his face. He also knew the reason why Le Yao Yao was staring at him, and it made him feel very proud. So, he couldn"t help but tease the little eunuch.
Why was this little eunuch so enchanting? He honestly wanted to study him…
At this moment, someone rushed through the doors and brought Le Yao Yao out of the awkward situation. Just as Le Yao Yao was breathing a sigh of relief, the person exploded with shocking news –
"I have bad news, Prince Rui! On the east side of the Capital, there have been more cases of the scooped hearts found. Ten maidens are dead!"
"What? Ten?!" Le Yao Yao was stupefied and couldn"t help but cry out in alarm.
Leng Jun Yu"s eyebrows crinkled and his handsome face darkened. It was obvious that he was extremely concerned.
Before Le Yao Yao could react again, Leng Jun Yu had already rushed out of the room with the other person. He didn"t even eat breakfast.
But after something like this, who would be in the mood to eat?
—–
In regards to the scooped hearts incidents, it quickly spread throughout the Prince"s residence. During lunch time, the entire cafeteria was talking about it.
"Have you heard? This morning, they found another ten maidens with their hearts scooped out. And all the victims had their blood absorbed too!"
"Oh G.o.d! So scary! Who could do such a thing?! Who could kill all these innocent women and take all their blood in just one night?… Also, according to rumours, in the deceased" houses, no one heard anything during the incidents. The families only discover the bodies the next day. Oh G.o.d, who could possess such skills?"
"In my opinion, this wasn"t done by a human!"
"What? Then who did it?!"
"You fool, if it wasn"t done by a human, obvious…it was done by a ghost…!"
"Oh G.o.d! Don"t say anymore. I"m so scared. Luckily, we"re not women!"
"Hummph. You"re obviously not a woman. But you"re not a man either!"
"You…!"
While everyone was taking part of the discussion in the cafeteria, Le Yao Yao was sitting on the corner and her complexion didn"t look very good.
Xiao Mu Zi noticed Le Yao Yao hasn"t finished eating his dishes, so he caringly consoled him, "Xiao Yao Zi, don"t worry too much. Eat first! The Prince is so amazing, he will definitely find a solution to this."
"Ai, that is true, but as long as we can"t find the culprit, there will be more innocent victims…."
Although Le Yao Yao was only a little little little maiden with no courage herself, she couldn"t bear to see so many innocent maidens being brutally murdered.
After all, these maidens were around her age. They were extremely young and had so much youth they hadn"t explored yet. However, now, they had all been mercilessly slaughtered by someone and left with no intact corpses. Who could be so evil!?

Since Le Yao Yao was in an awful mood, she returned back to Ya Feng Ge to work after eating two bites and drinking her swallow"s nest soup.
However, due to the scooped heart murders, she was in no mood.
She was currently standing on a stool as she used a wrung wet towel to wipe the pillar. But since she was so absent minded, she wasn"t aware that Nangong Jun Xi had suddenly appeared behind her. Just as she was about to turn around and step off the stool, she saw him and was so astonished that she took a step in the air and instantly lost balance.
Le Yao Yao directly fell on top of Nangong Jun Xi.
As for Nangong Jun Xi, originally, he only wanted to scare Le Yao Yao from behind. But he didn"t expect Le Yao Yao to turn around so suddenly and fall on him.
So the two of them fell down; one after the other. But this time, Le Yao Yao was on top instead.
