After arranging for them to settle in, Shen Xingyan diligently followed them to Ye Qingyao's room, asking if she needed anything and offering to arrange for it. Luo Bingyao also followed in, and surprisingly, contrary to her usual demeanor, she came over with a beaming smile, took Ye Qingyao's hand, and enthusiastically took out numerous clothes from her Heaven-and-Earth Ring, saying, "If Junior Sister Ye needs any clothes, you can choose from here."

Who would want to wear her clothes?

"Did the sun rise in the west?" Little Bean looked at Luo Bingyao suspiciously, and even Ye Qingyao felt that something was off about her.

Night fell, and all was quiet. The silvery moonlight streamed through the window, casting a soft glow on the room. Ye Qingyao and Ye Zhenzhen were fast asleep on the couch.

With a slight creak, the window was suddenly opened. The person outside opened a Beast-Rearing Box, and dozens of fist-sized flying insects scurried in through the window, heading straight for the person on the bed.

Soon, panicked screams echoed from inside the house, "Oh my god! How can there be such a big bug here? And it looks bloody."

"It's Three-Winged Red Bee, a kind of bee-like Demon Beast!"

"Why are they chasing me?" Ye Qingyao frantically dodged the attacks of the Three-Winged Red Bee, only to find herself seemingly locked onto by these Demon Beasts. One after another, they would appear, and she couldn't escape no matter how she tried.

The person outside the window grinned triumphantly, "Go for it, little monsters, steal her beauty, and leave that woman with no chance to compete with anyone else."

Just as she was about to flee the scene of the crime, a sharp and miserable scream came from inside the house, sounding as if she was suffering great pain. She couldn't help but curl her lips and open the window again, wanting to see the horrific sight of Ye Qingyao being stung by the Three-Winged Red Bee.

Before she could see anything, she was plunged into darkness.

A dress was draped over her face, extending all the way to her waist. She frantically tried to tear the clothes off and throw them away, but the dress seemed to be welded to her body. Soon, the Three-Winged Red Bee changed their target, surrounding her and extending fangs as long as fingers, piercing through the clothes to sting her face and neck.

"Ah! My face! No!" She struggled desperately, but couldn't shake off the Three-Winged Red Bee and was stung unconscious.

A little while later, there was a knock at the door.

"It's getting late, we've already gone to bed. If you need anything, please come again tomorrow," Ye Qingyao called out to the door.

"It's me, Ayao."

After returning home, Shen Xingyan couldn't get Ye Qingyao's beautiful face out of his mind. The gentleness and beauty she exuded in every smile and frown captivated his heart. The night amplifies one's longing and desire, and his heart seemed to be stirred by a passionate force. He couldn't help but return here to find his beloved.

Seeing that the person inside hadn't opened the door for a long time, he couldn't help but pour out his heart, "Ayao, do you know how much I've wanted to see you these past few years? Every time I thought I had let you go, you always lingered in my heart, in my mind, and in my dreams. Do you know how happy I was to see you this time? I was so excited that I forgot myself and just wanted to be with you all the time. Stop torturing me, let me in, let me see you again, my Ayao whom I've been thinking of day and night."

The door finally opened.

Shen Xingyan didn't even look closely before rushing forward, her blood boiling, and hugging the person at the door tightly in her arms, as if she wanted to meld her into her own body and never be separated from her.

However, when his gaze drifted to the side, he clearly saw two pairs of eyes, one large and one small, staring at him in the darkness.

Who's so annoying, interrupting his good time?

He looked closely and realized it looked like Ye Qingyao and Ye Zhenzhen. He couldn't help but rub his eyes again, and upon closer inspection, it really was them. And who was that in his arms?

He looked down at the person in his arms; their face was hideous, their body red and swollen like a pig's head, not an inch of good flesh left. This was no longer the A-Yao he had longed for! "Monster, monster!" He felt so disgusted he wanted to vomit, so he quickly released his hands and slapped the person to the ground.

The man coughed up blood, regained consciousness, turned to look at Shen Xingyan, and said in a tearful, aggrieved voice, "Shen Lang, it's me, it's Bingyao."

"Luo Bingyao?" Shen Xingyan suddenly realized who this "pig-headed" person in front of her was. "What happened to your face?"

"It's all their fault! It was Ye Qingyao who did this! Shen Lang, please help me get revenge!" Luo Bingyao, the villain, accused Ye Qingyao first, and used all her strength to stand up, lunging at Ye Qingyao like a shrew.

Shen Xingyan stepped in front of Ye Qingyao and kicked her aside, saying, "Don't be rude to A-Yao." Then, he turned to Ye Qingyao and asked, "A-Yao, what exactly happened just now?"

So Ye Qingyao explained in detail how Luo Bingyao had secretly released Three-Winged Red Bee into their house, only to end up hurting herself by being stung by these Three-Winged Red Bee.

Long after Luo Bingyao left the room, Ye Qingyao discovered that her handkerchief was missing. She initially thought it was a minor matter and didn't pay much attention. However, Ye Zhenzhen had previously read in the original book about Luo Bingyao stealing Ye Qingyao's handkerchief, allowing the Three-Winged Red Bee to detect Ye Qingyao's scent and target her. Therefore, Ye Zhenzhen warned Ye Qingyao to be vigilant and joined in this elaborate scheme, luring Luo Bingyao to peek out the window. Then, she seized the opportunity to throw the clothes, stained with Ye Qingyao's scent, at Luo Bingyao, letting Luo Bingyao experience the sting of her own pet Three-Winged Red Bee.

As a small Demon Beast, the Three-Winged Red Bee is extremely venomous. Once its venom comes into contact with the skin, it will cause the skin to become red and swollen, and then permanently ulcerate.

Luo Bingyao's skin, which had been swollen, was now gradually turning black and ulcerating. "Shen Lang, please save me!" she pleaded, grabbing Shen Xingyan's arm.

"Luo Bingyao, you vicious woman, this is entirely your own fault!" Shen Xingyan disgustedly shook off his hand and ordered someone to drag Luo Bingyao out and lock her in the Reflection Cliff. He had never liked Luo Bingyao much to begin with. In the first few years, he was lusting after her body, but after a while, he lost interest. Now, looking at her face, which was swollen and beginning to fester, he felt even more disgusted. Just looking at her made him feel uncomfortable all over. He wished he could lock her up forever.
