Xia Yi took a deep breath and pushed open Leng Yaozhu's office door again.
"Owner!"
Seeing Xia Yi appear, Leng Yulai was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes.
She felt that calling her "master" was worthwhile.
If Gu Yue's appearance was like a tranquilizer for her, then Xia Yi's appearance was like a huge weight finally being lifted from her heart.
At least, Leng Yaozhu's matter has all come to a conclusion.
"Your sister doesn't want you to call me master, so there's no need to. And there's no need for such a grand gesture. Otherwise, your sister will blame me again if she sees it," Xia Yi said in a deep voice after helping Leng Yulai up.
"No, it's my fault. I acted on my own and caused trouble for Master. It's only right that Master punishes me," Leng Yulai said, shaking her head.
"I told you, don't call me master anymore," Xia Yi said with a hint of anger.
"Then how should I address you, Master..." Leng Yulai opened her mouth, but then didn't know what to say next.
Xia Yi thought for a moment and said, "Call me 'Lord '."
" My Lord." Leng Yulai nodded quickly, her heart filled with gratitude towards Xia Yi.
"Lord" and "master" are two completely different concepts.
Xia Yi nodded and asked, "Where's your sister?"
"My sister got shy and ran to her bedroom to hide after hearing the Lord open the door," Leng Yulai said in a deep voice.
"I understand." Xia Yi nodded and turned to walk towards the bedroom.
Watching Xia Yi turn and go to find Leng Yaozhu without looking back, Leng Yulai couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment.
"Click!" As Xia Yi turned the doorknob of Leng Yaozhu's bedroom, both Leng Yaozhu in the bedroom and Leng Yulai in the living room felt a sudden tightness in their hearts.
" Leng Yulai, what are you fantasizing about? You're already being kind by not being punished by the Lord, what more do you want?" Leng Yulai a chill in her heart and began to shake her head frantically, trying to shake those unrealistic fantasies out of her mind.
No matter how frantically she shook her head, looking at Xia Yi's retreating figure, she couldn't hide the disappointment in her heart.
"Have they arrived?" Inside the bedroom, Leng Yaozhu sat upright, her heart pounding with nervousness.
Just when Leng Yulai and Leng Yaozhu were extremely tense, Xia Yi suddenly stopped what he was doing.
Xia Yi turned around and walked step by step toward Leng Yulai.
Xia Yi's actions startled Leng Yulai, filling her with unease. " My Lord, what is he going to do? Could it be...?"
Xia Yi didn't give Leng Yulai time to think. He came to her again and gently wiped away the tears that had fallen unnoticed. "I was so rough with you last night. I was wrong. I'm sorry."
"No, it's me who's wronged, Lord." Leng Yulai's eyes instantly blurred with tears. Xia Yi's apology made her feel that everything was worthwhile.
"There's one more thing. Because of your special status, I can't announce it to the public yet. You'll have to wait until I've resolved everything before I can give you a proper title," Xia Yi said apologetically.
Leng Yulai's identity is too special; if people knew she was by Xia Yi's side, it would cause a huge uproar.
The first one to get restless might be the Qiangu Dongfeng.
They will probably stop at nothing to get rid of Leng Yulai and Xia Yi.
The second possibility is the Holy Spirit Cult. Although Xia Yi and the Demon Empress are currently cooperating, they would not allow Leng Yulai, the Heavenly King who knows so many of their secrets, to stay by Xia Yi's side.
They hadn't pursued the matter too much before because, although they had guessed that Xia Yi and Leng Yulai were related, they hadn't guessed that Xia Yi would be Leng Yulai's master, or rather, her Lord.
"Ugh..." Leng Yulai finally couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears. She hugged Xia Yi tightly, shook her head, and cried, "I don't care. As long as Lord can spare even a little bit of his heart for me, even just a tiny bit, I'll be satisfied. I don't care about titles or honors."
Leng Yulai hugged Xia Yi, buried her head in Xia Yi's shoulder, and burst into tears.
They were freely venting their emotions.
She didn't even know why someone as proud as her was so easily moved.
Xia Yi only showed her a little bit of care, she was so moved that she couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Alright, stop crying, or your sister will laugh at you." Xia Yi gently patted Leng Yulai's back; he hadn't expected Leng Yulai reaction to be so strong.
"I won't cry, I'll listen to the Lord, I won't cry." Leng Yulai sobbed, rubbing her head against Xia Yi Yi's shoulder, wiping all her tears on Xia Yi's shoulder, sobbing softly, but her arms were tightly wrapped around Xia Yi, unwilling to let go.
Xia Yi wasn't in a hurry. He gently patted her back, constantly soothing her emotions.
Gradually, Leng Yulai's sobs subsided and turned into calm breathing.
She actually fell asleep on Xia Yi's shoulder.
"Oh, why are you doing this to yourself!" Xia Yi gently tidied the stray hairs on her forehead, then carried her toward Leng Yaozhu's bedroom.
Seeing Leng Yulai sleeping so soundly in Xia Yi's arms, Leng Yaozhu was no longer shy. She took Leng Yulai from Xia Yi's Leng Yulai, placed her on the bed, and covered her with a blanket. Then she turned to Xia Yi Xia Yi, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you so much!"
"Sister Yao Zhu, please don't do this. If Yue'er finds out, she'll eat me alive." Xia Yi immediately helped Leng Yaozhu.
Leng Yaozhu glanced at the sleeping Leng Yulai, her eyes filled with heartache. She sat down beside Leng Yulai Leng Yulai again, took her hand, and said, "Perhaps Yu Lai has indeed done many wrong things over the years, but she is truly pitiful. When she was young, she worked hard to cultivate, wanting to gain her father's approval. But no matter how hard she tried, her father was always wary of her. I even talked to my father about it, but he said that everything he did was for the family. He wanted to give me all the resources to cultivate me into Limit Douluo, so that the Leng Family's status in the Spirit Transfer Pagoda could rise to another level. As for Yu Lai, without resources, she put in far more effort than I did, and her cultivation level quickly caught up with mine. Even so, because of her Martial Soul, her father was still cautiously wary of her."
"At that time, there was nothing I could do but try my best to make up for what I owed Yu Lai and to be as good to her as possible. Gradually, I became her only source of comfort. But because of Yun Ming, she thought I had betrayed her. From beginning to end, the reason she hated me was not because of Yun Ming, but because of myself. The deeper the love, the deeper the hate. She loved me too much, which is why she was bewitched by the Holy Spirit Cult."
"Because of you, she realized she had misunderstood me, and out of guilt, she used this method to bring us together."
Leng Yaozhu turned to look at Xia Yi, who was already sitting beside her, and said, " Yu Lai is different from me. Her childhood experiences and her Martial Soul have made her more intense and ruthless than me. To others, her personality seems a bit too extreme, but I know that she has never received her father's love and Yun Ming's love since childhood, which has made her heart very fragile. Her fragility needs care, so I beg you, could you spare even a little bit of your affection for her? Just a little bit is enough. I don't want to see her suffer like this anymore. I can give up everything for myself, but I really don't want to see her like this anymore."
Leng Yaozhu spoke her last words almost pleadingly. Looking at the sleeping Leng Yulai, she knew better than anyone how much pain Leng Yulai had endured over the years.
I doubt I've had a very peaceful night's sleep more than a few times.
Before she ran away from home, she devoted almost every day to diligent cultivation.
Going to a place like the Holy Spirit Cult, needless to say, you have to be on edge all the time. One wrong move and you might never wake up again.
"Are you done? If not, continue?" Xia Yi sneered.
Leng Yaozhu then noticed that Xia Yi's expression had turned gloomy at some point.
Seeing Xia Yi's gloomy gaze, Leng Yaozhu gritted her teeth and continued, "I know you harbor some resentment towards Yu Lai, and you're also worried that the fact that Yu Lai was once Evil Spirit Master will cause you trouble. Don't worry, if Yu Lai's past as Evil Spirit Master is exposed, I will atone for her sins and will absolutely not involve you."
Leng Yaozhu finished speaking, she looked up at Xia Yi again.
"Are you done talking?" Xia Yi asked, his face still grim.
"I'm done talking." Leng Yaozhu gritted her teeth, and although she said she was done, she couldn't help but add, "What happened yesterday, although Yu Lai was in the wrong, she didn't mean any harm."
"If you're done talking, don't sit there. Stand up and lie down on the bed," Xia Yi said coldly.
Leng Yaozhu's pretty face flushed instantly as memories of last night flooded back. She quickly said, "No, that will wake Yu Lai. Can we wait until tonight?"
When she said this, Leng Yaozhu was surprised herself; she didn't feel any psychological burden at all.
I just feel a little shy.
And she even shamelessly felt happy.
"You're being disobedient, aren't you?" Xia Yi picked up Leng Yaozhu and pushed her directly onto the bed.
Poor Leng Yaozhu, despite possessing the cultivation of Limit Douluo, was utterly powerless against Xia Yi.
Xia Yi easily pinned him to the bed.
However, just as Leng Yaozhu was preparing to endure Xia Yi's brutality...
With a loud smack, Xia Yi raised his hand and slapped that pert buttock hard.
"Explain yourself to me, what the hell do you mean you can give up everything? You're my woman, if you don't want me, you're going to go find Yun Ming?" Xia Yi got angrier and angrier, and raised her hand to slap him again.
"Stop hitting me, I was wrong, okay?" Leng Yaozhu, like a little girl, covered her bottom with her hands and turned to look at Xia Yi pitifully.
"Call me husband?" Xia Yi slapped him again.
"Honey, I was wrong," Leng Yaozhu said pitifully.
After being "enlightened" by Leng Yulai and Gu Yue, and with Xia Yi's "assertiveness," she no longer had any psychological burden.
"That's more like it." Xia Yi finally smiled with satisfaction, pulled Leng Yaozhu up and into his arms, gently kissed her forehead, and said forcefully, "You're not allowed to say such nonsense again, understand?"
"Yes!" Leng Yaozhu nodded, her eyes red, deeply moved. However, she still hadn't forgotten Leng Yulai and cautiously asked, "What about Yu Lai?"
"Don't worry, my husband is very broad-minded. He can definitely accommodate you sisters and Gu Yue at the same time," Xia Yi said proudly, patting his chest.
"Pah, you scumbag! How come I never noticed how shameless you were before?" Leng Yaozhu buried her head in Xia Yi's chest, her face flushed as she pinched his waist hard, but her face was full of relief and happiness.
" Leng Yaozhu, how could you fall so low so quickly?" Leng Yaozhu sighed inwardly. She never imagined that she would have such a day, and that it would only take one day for her to transform from the high and mighty Heavenly Wind Douluo into a little woman.
"Women love bad boys, right?" Xia Yi laughed shamelessly, picked up Leng Yaozhu's head buried in his chest, and kissed her luscious red lips fiercely.
Xia Yi knew that he had to be assertive now, because even the slightest retreat would amplify Leng Yaozhu's guilt.
Only when she becomes strong will Leng Yaozhu put everything else aside.
Accept yourself without any psychological burden.
"So what if you've fallen? You weren't afraid of being someone's mistress before, so what are you afraid of now? At least you have a status now, which is pretty good." The familiar and warm breath quickly put Leng Yaozhu at ease. She wrapped her fair arms around Xia Yi's neck and awkwardly cooperated.
