It is already morning, but Ling Yutu still can't sleep. He kept thinking about what Muyan said to him while he had his eyes closed.
While his mind was busy, he noticed that Muyan stood up slowly and went out of the room. He didn't bother her because he knew that she wouldn't skip his place.
Right now, his eyes are still closed, pretending to be asleep to imagine his affection for her.
"I like her!" He said into his mind while smiling so widely.
At this moment, Yutu realized that he really liked her, but he didn't want to confess his love because he didn't know how to do it. He's really ignorant when it comes to this because he became interested in someone for the first time.
While Yutu was still thinking about Muyan, after 30 minutes, he heard that the door of her room opens.
Yutu opened his eyes to look at her face. He felt happy when he saw her that she's holding a basket with a delicious food.
Muyan walked slowly and gave him a sweet smile.
"Your food is ready. Eat it!" She said while extending her hands to give the basket to Yutu. He accepted the basket and put it on the bed for a while.
Yutu's heart skipped a beat while hearing her angelic voice. Whenever she was around, his world seemed to stop spinning. He was completely focused on her and didn't find joy in anything else.
Despite being known for his cold demeanor, he was incredibly soft when it came to her.
At the moment, before he starts eating the food, he wants to receive a good morning kiss from Muyan. In his desire to be kissed by her, he decided to try the failed plan he attempted yesterday. Maybe it would work this time.
Yutu placed the food on the table and began to act coldly. He set aside the food, and then he commanded the wind to bring into his hands his magical dao sword. Suddenly, he held her by the waist and pointed the dao sword at her in what seemed like a romantic way of threatening her.
"I really wanted to kill you right now!" Yutu faked a menacing threat towards her.
He looked serious, as if he could really do it at any moment.
However, Muyan didn't forget what she said to him: if he threatened her with that weapon, she would kiss him.
Yutu let go of his grip on her waist as he awaited Muyan's next move. Muyan approached him cautiously and began kissing him on the lips, which made him happy.
His plan worked, so he put the dao sword on the table and responded by grabbing her waist and kissing her passionately.
Their actions during those moments seemed to show the depth of their love for each other. Eventually, they ended up lying on the bed, carried away by their passionate kissing.
The prince took off his robe halfway. He acted as if he wanted to claim Muyan at any moment. The prince started to take off her clothes.
As he slowly undressed her, he immediately paused. When he looked at her body, he suddenly realized that he was really out of control. Everything that had happened now didn't feel right. He immediately felt immense shame for taking advantage of her vulnerability.
"I'm sorry." He apologized.
He quickly put Muyan's clothes back in order. After fixing her attire, he dressed himself too.
Without saying a word, Yutu left Muyan's side. The tensed prince immediately headed to the bathroom to cool down his body and to avoid the lady as well. He really wanted to save face after what happened.
While in the bath, he couldn't stop thinking about what they had done earlier. He splashed water on his face.
Despite feeling embarrassed, when he was alone, he couldn't help but smile widely. He was getting butterflies again. Damn! He really loved this feeling.
After finishing his bath, he quickly got dressed.
He was about to leave the bath when suddenly a white dove arrived, which he knew belonged to his enemy. His brow slightly furrowed, but out of curiosity, he picked up the letter sent to him to find out its contents and who sent it. As soon as Yutu saw the name of the sender of the letter, he clenched his teeth in anger.
Although it was evident from his appearance that he was furious, he still gathered the courage to read the letter sent by the princess of the Dong Clan.
From: Princess Gu Yu
My father is in critical condition because of the girl named Muyan. I know that you are imprisoning her right now. Let her suffer more! If you want to kill her, just do it. If I become the ruler of the Dong Clan, I am willing to give up our clan and hand it over to you if you chop her body into smaller pieces. This is the deal. I know you won't refuse my offer since it will only benefit you. Don't let her activate her power because she might kill you. Make her disappear from our world as soon as possible. I won't allow her to lead our clan in the future because she's not the legitimate daughter of our parents. She's not an immortal. She has her own world; thus, she doesn't deserve to become the new Empress. I really need your cooperation. I hope you will help me solve this massive problem of mine. I am a woman of my word.
To: Ling Yutu
Finally! Yutu finished reading the pointless letter sent by Gu Yu to him. He was burning with anger upon discovering that the despicable princess wanted to kill Muyan.
Even though he was really angry, he managed to smile slightly while uttering the words, "Sorry! I would rather kill you than hurt my girl. It's enjoyable to watch you swim in your own blood, but I can't bear to see my Muyan hurt. I really love to accept your offer, princess, if you were the one I got. But I'm not willing to trade my darling's life for your clan. I have my ways of dealing with your clan, but my plans do not involve harming my woman. I will always keep her safe. I will seek revenge on those who try to endanger her life, and you're not an exception."
After uttering those words, he fell into deep thought due to Gu Yu's revelations. He was confused as to why Gu Yu mentioned that the woman beside him was not actually an immortal. It somehow connected with the unusual things Muyan had said.
Sigh! Were there other beings in their world? His head started to ache from overthinking, as he couldn't comprehend why the Emperor of the Dong Clan sent Muyan to their world to serve as their ruler.
With so many questions plaguing his mind, he absentmindedly ran his fingers through his hair. Even though he had already bathed, he washed his face again to calm himself. Perhaps it would be best for him to wait for the right time when Muyan would tell him the truth about the world she truly came from.
A few seconds later, Yutu left the bathroom and headed to the room where Muyan lay. What other mysteries does this woman hold? That was the only question he could ask himself before entering the room.
