The Night King's mansion, under the cloak of night, appeared as usual.
Yun Shu and Jing Heng had already strategized how to handle the situation.
If they encountered the man from before, Yun Shu would act as bait to lure him away, while Jing Heng would bring Yun Xiao Jing out.
Their figures moved like phantoms through the Night King's mansion.
The Night King's mansion was replete with hidden guards.
And patrolled by guards at every turn.
It was truly impregnable!
They had found infiltrating the imperial palace less arduous.
Soon.
They arrived at Zhan Xiao Li's room.
Dressed in a night-black outfit, she seemed to blend seamlessly with the night.
She gently lifted a roof tile.
And saw Zhan Xiao Li sleeping soundly within.
A small, fair face, as if dreaming sweet dreams, with the corners of her lips turned up.
She did not enter. Their mission tonight was to take Yun Xiao Jing away, so she would visit him again in a couple of days.
Her Xiao Li was truly too adorable!
She so longed to embrace him and plant a kiss on his round cheeks!
She restrained herself.
Then she looked towards the small courtyard not far away.
Her gaze met Jing Heng's.
With perfect unspoken understanding, they moved together.
Arriving at another courtyard, atop the roof, Yun Shu lifted a tile.
Moonlight fell directly upon Yun Xiao Jing, who lay asleep on the bed. Yun Xiao Jing, whose sleeping posture was always incredibly unrestrained, was not on the bed.
He was sleeping on the floor, wrapped in his quilt.
His little belly was exposed.
Yun Shu's lips twitched severely. "You scoundrel!"
Suddenly, a faint, almost imperceptible sound reached her ears. She immediately put down the tile and gave Jing Heng a look. Jing Heng, who moved with practiced, ghost-like silence, instantly dropped from the rooftop.
Meanwhile, Yun Shu headed towards the direction outside the mansion.
Her speed was like riding the clouds.
Her lightness skill was astounding.
In the silent night, not a single sound could be heard. Suddenly, from another direction in the night sky, a dark shadow shot towards her.
Its speed was extreme.
The moment Yun Shu's feet touched the ground, the person chasing her also landed.
And reached out to grab her.
Intending to seize her shoulder.
However.
She was just about to leap into the air.
The man's grab.
Fatefully, caught hold of her soft flesh!
Yun Shu stiffened for a moment.
Her eyes darkened, and she gritted her teeth, "Let go! Haven't you had enough touching? Don't you enjoy touching me so much that you don't want to let go?!"
And he had even grabbed twice!
Zhan Tian Ye abruptly released his hand. "You!"
"Seeking death!" Yun Shu was furious.
He had repeatedly ruined her plans, preventing her from properly holding and kissing Zhan Xiao Li, and now he dared to touch her again!
Bang bang bang!
She struck out with several palms.
The man, still lost in the indescribable sensation and the surge of emotion in that moment, actually took these several blows.
Zhan Tian Ye, jolted by the intense pain from the blows, came back to his senses, narrowed his eyes, and his chilling gaze flickered with murderous intent. "You have trespassed into the Night King's mansion multiple times, what is your intention?!"
"What is my intention?" Yun Shu, still seething from being molested, narrowed her eyes and gave a light laugh. "I wanted to come over and let you touch me! Extend your hand, didn't you have enough before? Shall I let you touch me again?"
As long as his hand extended.
She would cut off his hand!
Silently, she took out a sharp dagger from her embrace.
The dagger was incredibly sharp, capable of cutting through metal as if it were mud. It could easily sever a hand, let alone just one!
Zhan Tian Ye sensed Yun Shu's killing intent, but his earlobes turned red due to his daughter's words, and he angrily berated, "Presumptuous!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Yun Shu retorted.
The man before her wore an inconspicuous mask. Its sheen, under the moonlight, emitted a strangely chilling glow.
She wanted to rip off his mask!
The dagger in her hand sliced through the night sky.
As the cold light glinted, the tip of the dagger was about to flick away the mask on Zhan Tian Ye's face.
It was only a fraction of an inch away.
Zhan Tian Ye's body recoiled violently.
As his stance stabilized, he had already put several steps of distance between himself and Yun Shu.
A gust of wind swept by, ruffling the man's robes.
His black hair fluttered.
Yun Shu's brow subtly twitched.
Why did the man's gaze towards her feel somewhat similar to Zhan Tian Ye's?
Suddenly.
In the night sky, from the southwest direction, a signal flare was fired.
Its brilliant color announced that Jing Heng had successfully taken Yun Xiao Jing away.
Yun Shu glanced at it only once, then quickly averted her gaze.
Seeing the man intending to advance.
And wanting to capture her.
And having already let out a whistle.
The killing intent that suddenly assailed her from all directions.
Yun Shu let out a soft laugh. "So you really haven't had enough!"
This light laugh made Zhan Tian Ye suddenly halt his steps.
And Yun Shu had already leaped into the air, quickly leaving the battlefield as a swarm of hidden guards and escorts arrived.
Qiu Lu was the first to reach Zhan Tian Ye. "Your Highness."
Zhan Tian Ye stared in the direction Yun Shu had disappeared into the night, his gaze as deep and unfathomable as a dark pool.
Incredibly, his palm felt as if it had been ignited by something.
The astonishing sensation.
Beneath the veil, his face became clearer and clearer.
Transforming into Yun Shu's incredibly alluring face, like a peerless enchantress.
Zhan Tian Ye suddenly calmed down.
The beautiful imagery in his mind vanished.
Replaced by the coldness of the frigid night.
Qiu Lu watched, dumbfounded, as Zhan Tian Ye's aura underwent a drastic change in a short span of time.
What exactly had just happened?
Who was the intruder in the mansion?
Someone who could be sensed by His Highness, yet not captured by him, there was no one like that in the capital!
Even the Great General Yun, who was undefeated on the battlefield, was no match for their Prince.
"Is the person who trespassed into the mansion today the same as the one who trespassed before?" Qiu Lu asked in a low voice.
He was completely bewildered. Why did that woman trespass into the Night King's mansion repeatedly? She didn't steal weapons from the armory, nor did she steal silver from the treasury, nor did she steal various letters from the study, but instead, she came to see Zhan Xiao Li.
Could it be...
"Is it the County Princess from the Ráo King's mansion?" Qiu Lu suddenly ventured a bold guess.
That County Princess from the Ráo King's mansion had completely inherited the Ráo King's perversion.
Had she come to the capital?
Actually, he also considered guessing if it was the second daughter of the Yun family, but deep down, he felt that the second daughter of the Yun family might not be so perverted.
Moreover, the County Princess of the Ráo King's mansion had practiced martial arts since childhood and was highly skilled, so perhaps it was indeed her.
Zhan Tian Ye narrowed his eyes.
Suddenly, he recalled the woman's slender waist just now, so delicate it seemed it could be snapped with one hand.
The more he thought about it, the more familiar it felt.
But he dismissed his thoughts. "Investigate her!"
"Yes!"
...
In the General's mansion.
Yun Xiao Jing looked at Yun Shu pitifully.
