“Please be a good person until the very end, young master! Our parents died when we were young. Ever since then, we have been performing in order to survive. Now that we have offended the evil men, they will never let us perform here in peace again!”


  Xiao Kui grabbed her sister and the both of them got down on their knees as they continuously bowed and pleaded.

  Seeing this, Le Yao Yao felt conflicted. She was the one who interfered and angered the men. Now, the girls have lost their place to work.

  But she already has enough people serving her. Not to mention, right now, she had no intentions of returning home and has no idea where she will go next. So, Le Yao Yao took out a hundred silver taels in banknote and handed it to Xiao Kui.

  Xiao Kui instantly shook her head and refused. “Young master, Xiao Kui doesn’t want money. Xiao Kui only wants young master to take us in and let us stay by your side.”


  “Just take it. I don’t have a permanent address right now. I’m travelling around the country. Since you have no parents to take care of, you two can leave Dali and find another place to settle down. Or perhaps, you two can go to the number one manor house. As long as you tell them I’m the one who sent you, they will let you stay.”


  Since Le Yao Yao thought Xiao Kui was a bright girl, she decided it was alright for the girls to go to the number one manor house. The only thing that the number one manor house could use more of was talented individuals.

  Hearing this, Xiao Kui paused for a moment and then accepted the offer.

  “What should we call you by, young master?”


  “My first name is Le. And my name consists of one Yao.”


  “Alright, thanks Master Le. We will head to the number one manor house now.”


  Xiao Kui and Xiao En stood up from the ground and thanked Le Yao Yao once again before they departed.

  Shortly after their departure, over a dozen men with huge knives and swords stormed in. They looked sinister and vicious.

  Le Yao Yao couldn’t help but crinkle her brows. They were sure fast. Originally, she didn’t want to cause any more trouble. After all, Xuan’er was here. She was afraid he would be injured during the process.

  But now, it was too late to run.

  Oh well. If she can’t run, she’ll just deal with it.

  Xiong Tian Ba glanced up and noticed Le Yao Yao on the second floor. He pointed and screeched, “It’s probably that guy! Get him!”


  “Yes!”


  His crew began to run up the stairs. Seeing this, Le Yao Yao took out her soft sword from her waist and prepared to fight with them until the end.

  But halfway up the stairs, the staircase suddenly split in the center and collapsed.

  The men screamed as all of them fell off.

  Le Yao Yao was stunned. She gazed around her area and couldn’t believe what had just happened.

  After all, the staircase was very sturdy. Unless someone deliberately did something to it, it wouldn’t have snapped and collapsed!

  Suddenly, Le Yao Yao’s eyes stopped at the furthest corner of the first floor. That area was very hidden. If one didn’t look carefully, it would be missed.

  Le Yao Yao focused her eyes and felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

  The person was dressed in black. His outfit was tight that it accentuated his fit body.

  Although the person was just sitting there sipping on tea, his icy and powerful aura could not be ignored.

  However, the man was wearing a conical hat that had a black veil hiding his face.

  Le Yao Yao recognized him immediately. He was the person she saw from the second floor of the restaurant! That time, Dongfang Bai tried to stop her from going after him.

  “Yu! It’s you! I knew it!”


  Le Yao Yao smiled, but she was also crying. Streams of tears rolled down her cheek and onto her chin.

  “Mommy, why are you crying?”


  Leng Yi Xuan was a bit concerned. His mommy seemed very unstable because she was crying and smiling at the same time. So, he began to tug on Le Yao Yao’s sleeves.

  Le Yao Yao snapped out of it. She was worried the man will disappear from her life again. So, she quickly grabbed Leng Yi Xuan’s hand and flew downstairs. On the way, she stepped on the fallen men before landing in front of the man in black.

  Le Yao Yao hadn’t seen Yu in over five years. She had so much she wanted to say, but she couldn’t say a single line. Instead, she just kept crying silently.

  After a long time, Le Yao Yao could no longer wait. “Yu, is it you? Have you returned?” she cried.

  Le Yao Yao wouldn’t shift her eyes from the man at all. She was worried everything was just a dream.

  The man in front of her had Yu’s body, and the aura he was giving off was also the same as Yu’s!

  She was waiting for the man’s response.

  But for a long time, the man only held onto his cup of tea and acted as if he didn’t hear her. He was acting as if she was invisible.

  Leng Yi Xuan was annoyed and spoke up for his mother in his baby voice. “Excuse me, uncle! My daddy is talking to you! Can you hear him? If you can hear him and you’re purposely ignoring him, you’re a rude man!” (tl: LOL HE IS SO CUTE)

  Le Yao Yao noticed the man in black stiffened. It was a slight movement, but she saw it.

  She could sense the man staring at her son.

  Le Yao Yao took a step forward. “Are you Yu? Please answer me.”


  The man in black remained silent. Le Yao Yao felt like her heart was breaking into pieces.

  Just as she thought the man was going to continue ignoring her, he replied. “Sorry, you have the wrong person.”


  Le Yao Yao felt her heart shatter. This voice did not belong to Yu……

  Although Yu had left her for over five years, she would never forget the sound of his voice.

  It was only her wishful thinking…


  Yu was already dead. He was gone.

  If he was alive, he would’ve came back to her by now. Right?

  Le Yao Yao was drowning in her sorrows. She failed to notice that the man sitting in front of her had tightened his grip on his cup when he saw her crestfallen expression.

  Le Yao Yao lost all the spark in her eyes. She slowly turned around and decided to leave with Leng Yi Xuan.

  Since there was a fight earlier and the staircase collapsed, the first floor was now an utter mess. There were shattered pieces of furniture and utensils everywhere.

  Le Yao Yao didn’t pay attention and accidentally stepped on a shattered plate. She felt it pierce through her shoe. But that wasn’t the worst part. Le Yao Yao tried taking a step back but failed to notice the chair.

  Le Yao Yao could feel herself losing balance and was about to fall.

  Usually, she would just do a flip and catch herself. But since her foot was injured, she couldn’t gather the strength. So, she expected a tragedy to occur.

  It has been a while since she had contact with Mother Earth! Oh well…


  But the pain she was expecting never came. Because, someone caught her!

  Le Yao Yao felt safe and secure. The hug was exactly the same as the ones from her memory.

  Thinking of this, Le Yao Yao’s heart trembled. Then, she recognized the familiar ambergris scent.

  Her eyes widened and life entered her dead eyes once more.

  His voice is different from Yu’s, but his hug, scent and body is the same. What???
