The door was smashed to smithereens, all of it lying on the floor.
Si Jianye's expression remained unchanged, standing there as if he were an indifferent bystander, at ease.
He glanced at the leaning door, sighing softly, "A dirty mouse came and broke the door. It seems I'll have to find another room to sleep in."
Si Jianye raised his eyes to look at Feng Ninghe, his deep eyes hiding a hidden meaning.
"Daddy, why don't we sleep together!"
A soft, sweet female voice came from not far away.
Si Xin Xin poked her head out, her bright eyes blinking, her small face filled with smiles.
Before Si Jianye could speak, A Xi quickly shook her hands, vocally rejecting the idea, "Miss Feng is the Empress of Lin Kingdom. The entire palace belongs to her, and there are plenty of rooms. She can sleep wherever she wants. Even if this door is gone, it won't affect her."
As soon as these words were spoken.
A sharp gaze instantly cut towards A Xi.
Si Jianye's face turned grim, his demeanor filled with a heavy, gloomy shadow. That cold, stern look seemed capable of devouring a person alive.
A Xi, frightened, quickly shut her mouth, not daring to say another word, her heart filled with fear.
Feng Ninghe nodded slightly in approval, "Zhen Zhu, since the door is destroyed, then prepare another room for the Underworld King."
Zhen Zhu quickly responded.
"No need."
Si Jianye strode towards the room where Si Xin Xin was, taking Si Xin Xin's hand, "Isn't there a room ready here? Preparing another one would be too much trouble."
Si Xin Xin nodded repeatedly in agreement, her small hand tightly gripping Si Jianye's large one, "Daddy is right. I haven't slept with Daddy for several days. Although the room is a bit small, we can move the table and fit a bed."
Si Jianye nodded slightly in approval, "Xin Xin, you are right."
With a wave of his hand, the tables and chairs in the room instantly disappeared, and a large bed appeared in the room.
Looking at the two of them playing along, Feng Ninghe's cheeks showed a hint of helplessness. She turned her gaze back, looking in the direction where Xiao Ya was.
Xiao Ya's sudden departure was not as simple as she thought. Perhaps there was something more to it.
Feng Ninghe turned to Bai Nian Nian, "Nian Nian, don't you want to know what happened?"
Bai Nian Nian let out a muffled hum, a hint of displeasure lingering in her eyes, "If it's not necessary, I really don't want to deal with her."
She had been sincere towards Xiao Ya.
But Xiao Ya had betrayed them.
Bai Nian Nian knew that her master meant for her to follow and see what was happening, but she didn't want to.
Feng Ninghe slightly lowered her gaze, deliberately lowering her voice, her female voice from her mouth extremely soft, "She left in such a hurry and so abruptly. If you follow behind, you might discover something."
The simple words instantly enlightened Bai Nian Nian. She quickly met Feng Ninghe's gaze, her eyes clearly lighting up, "Master, do you mean to follow her and act according to the situation?"
Feng Ninghe nodded openly in agreement, "Exactly."
Bai Nian Nian bit her lower lip, a hint of deep thought appearing in her eyes. After thinking for a moment, she nodded, "Master is right. I'll go now! If we can discover her hidden schemes, it will be beneficial and harmless to us."
With that said, Bai Nian Nian did not linger and quickly left the place.
The surrounding maids soon dispersed.
When Feng Ninghe returned to the room, Si Xin Xin was already asleep, her small figure curled up tightly.
Si Jianye, sitting on the bed, slightly raised his eyes. The dim candlelight cast freely onto his face, and his cool male voice slowly emerged, "Feng Ninghe, you already know Xiao Ya is problematic, don't you?"
Hearing his voice, Feng Ninghe raised her eyes to meet Si Jianye's gaze, a slight curve forming on her lips, and quietly looked at him, "What do you mean?"
Si Jianye's expression did not change at all. He opened his mouth, "Even I can see it. Your reaction wouldn't be so dull if you hadn't noticed something by now."
Feng Ninghe's mouth twitched involuntarily.
If she said nothing, wouldn't that be admitting her dullness?
After a moment, she withdrew her gaze and openly replied, "Yes, I have noticed something about her. Keeping her around might not be a bad thing."
If others could use Xiao Ya, they could also do the opposite and use her in return.
Si Jianye's deep eyes showed a hint of amusement, looking at her with great interest, "Tomorrow is the day of the wager. The seven days are up. What you need to do is more than just save someone, right?"
That sharp gaze seemed to penetrate the heart.
Facing his question, Feng Ninghe did not rush to speak. Instead, she calmly met his gaze, "Tomorrow, the Underworld King will know what I intend to do."
She sat down on the bed by herself and lowered her gaze to look at the sleeping Si Xin Xin.
Days seemed to be getting better, becoming smooth and satisfactory.
If life could continue to be so smooth, it would be nice.
As for Si Jianye, although his temper was a bit bad, he gave Feng Ninghe a sense of security she had never felt before.
It was as if she no longer had to fight alone; she had someone behind her to help her...
"Ah! So hot!"
Xiao Ya ran wildly, the heat within her body making her want to jump into the water and soak herself.
She stopped, tugged at her collar, and widened the neckline to let in air.
Moments later, she had already taken off most of her clothes.
Not far away.
Two guards happened to pass by.
Seeing Xiao Ya with her clothes half-off, the guards were stunned and stopped, looking at each other.
Xiao Ya seemed to have lost her mind. She quickly looked around, searching for something to cool herself down.
"Yo, this beauty is quite good-looking. Look at this skin, tsk tsk..."
One of the guards' faces showed greed. He looked Xiao Ya up and down, drooling incessantly.
The other guard was also impatient. He specifically glanced around, "There's no one else here. How about we..."
The two guards harbored greedy intentions, their gazes occasionally falling on Xiao Ya.
Xiao Ya had completely lost her reason. Seeing someone approaching, she didn't care about anything else and hurried towards them.
The guards already had wicked intentions, and now that Xiao Ya was actively approaching them, they naturally couldn't hold back.
One of the guards impatiently reached out and grabbed at Xiao Ya's clothes, stripping them off in a few quick movements.
The drug worked thoroughly within Xiao Ya's body. With her clothes off, she only felt a slight coolness and actively pressed herself against the guard.
The medicine given by Ji Bin Yu was naturally effective.
It was just that Xiao Ya hadn't expected that she would be the one to take the medicine in the end.
The guards noticed something was wrong and couldn't help but say, "This girl seems a bit off."
They had approached with the intention of taking advantage, but who would have thought they would encounter such a proactive woman?
An ordinary person would have already been shouting and trying to escape, but Xiao Ya was even eager to get closer to them.
