Xi Xhen: "Who is Jia Li?".

"Well then, go ahead." Chin Yun ordered Zaya using a hand gesture.

Zaya paid respect to Chin Yun before leaving the manor. She really hoped that the Princess Consort had died, so that Chin Yun would be impressed with her. After all, she was the one who poisoned Xi Xhen after Chin Yun gave the poison to her.

.

"Ah!!!! You Pervert! What did you do to me?!!". Xi Xhen stood up from bed and quarreled with Li Yun.

When she was still asleep, she felt someone lying beside her. It was kind of her instincts that made her turn to the opposite side of the bed, only for her to see that the Demon crown prince was lying by her side.

"You're too loud". Li Yun's voice, which showed no sign of care, said to Xi Xhen, who was ranting. This was actually the first time he had ever slept so relaxed and woke up this late in the morning compared to his usual time.

"You're not going to answer? I asked, what did you do to me?! Why the hell are you here?". Xi Xhen wasn't ready to let him off the hook that easily, so she began hitting his shoulder hard.

Li Yun sighed deeply before his large arms grabbed her waist. In one swift movement, he pinned her down below him on the bed. Their faces were too close to each other, with their eyes fixed on each other.

"W…. What are you trying to do?". She stammered as she asked with her grumpy face that was already flushed.

"What do you think?". He teased her, though his face was straight as usual the whole time he said. Xi Xhen widened her eyes, she could already guess what was coming her way. "Get off me, you pervert!". She said out, pushing him with her slender hand, but his muscles were really strong and tough for her alone.

"Seems like I have to discipline my Princess Consort". Li Yun smirked mischievously before leaning forward.

Shocked, Xhen could feel that her body became stiff. Her eyes were fully wide open. This demon was actually stealing a kiss from her again without her approval!!!. She tried to protest against him, but that got worse because it gave him the opportunity to deepen the kiss. She finally got to push him off her body with her very last strength and determination.

Actually, Li Yun intentionally loosened his hold on her, thus giving her the opportunity to slip away.

Xi Xhen quickly got up from the bed, but during the process, she slipped and fell on the floor, hitting her butt. 'Was this bed always this high?! How come I didn't notice that on time?'. She thought to herself, before she ran out of the room with a red face.

Surprisingly for Li Yun, he couldn't hold in his laughter and chuckled. He admitted his Princess Consort was definitely something else and entertaining.

"Your highness". Head Miss Kim paid her respect to Li Yun as she entered his manor. She never expected Li Yun to be in the room. That was why she entered the room without making her presence known. She came in as usual to help tidy up the room when she saw Li Yun smiling and laughing for the first time ever. This sudden change shocked her and made her speechless. Seeing him smiling all of a sudden, was more dangerous than him not smiling at all!

'What caused this sudden change?'. Head Miss Kim wondered, before she ordered the three servants who were standing behind her to help the Crown Prince get changed.

"Hear my order. My Princess Consort is going to serve me starting from tomorrow". Li Yun declared.

"Yes, Your Highness". They all bowed down as they acknowledged his order.

Far away, in the other corner of the Mansion, also known as "THE GHOST CHAMBER".

"Eh…. You were poisoned!?". Lilie repeated in disbelief. She slightly opened her mouth and frowned.

"Young Mistress, are you okay? Do you feel any discomfort?". Zhen Zhen was worried, so she asked, as she continuously examined Xi Xhen's body.

"I think I am okay now". Xi Xhen assured Zhen Zhen, who sighed deeply in relief after hearing the word she wanted to hear.

"Who did this to you?". Lilie asked, her face darkened instantly, as she was ready to strike the person who dared to hurt her Master.

Xi Xhen told Zhen and Lillie everything. She didn't want to hide anything from them.

"I still can't believe I almost died!". This was the part she couldn't just easily get off her head.

"I will go and deal with Chin Yun for you Xhen. I will avenge you! She crossed the line. How dare she?!" Lilie announced and had almost flew out of the manor.

"No Lilie…".

"But she tried to kill you, Xhen". Lilie said to Xi Xhen, who was preventing her from dealing with Chin Yun.

"I know, and that's why I want to present Chin Yun with a suitable punishment that is far more painful and agonizing than hell and death itself!". Xi Xhen replied with a deadly smile on her face mixed with the cold, intimidating aura she was emitting.

Lilie, despite feeling impatient, agreed with Xi Xhen's idea. Anyway, the sound of Xi Xhen's revenge seemed satisfying. "Xi Xhen is such a genius!". She exclaimed.

"Definitely, I am. No one dares to poison me and get away with it!. Speaking of which, I'm feeling a little bit exhausted. I still can't believe that the Demon crown prince laid beside me when I was asleep. That's so not fair! Sh*t. I could feel his touch on my body". Xhen kept an irritated face as she said this. She added, "I need you to help me prepare my bath, Zhen. Ugh! I feel my skin itching".

"Young Mistress.... But why are you also massaging your lips? Is it also itching you?". Zhen Zhen asked after seeing Xi Xhen rubbing her lips with her fingers.

"You won't believe this…. You know what, never mind". Xhen decided not to tell them what happened to her lips, because she was embarrassed. They might as well stare at her thinking that she likes that Demon crown prince. Well, too bad for him, she didn't like him at all! If he likes, let him be the most handsome person she has ever seen, which technically he was…. She would never ever love him. Hmph!

He should probably stay on his own, and I, I'll definitely stay all by myself!. But she can't help but admit this, he sure does make her heart beat faster than its normal pace at times. Seems like it, I have to get rid of these new feelings. She thought.

.

"All done, Young Mistress". Zhen Zhen, who went to prepare Xi Xhen's bath earlier, came to inform her.

Without wasting much time, Xi Xhen removed her clothes and headed straight to her bathroom. She preferred soaking in the lake inside her Manor, but the sky was bright.

Some minutes later….

"Haaa…. I feel refreshed and clean". Xi Xhen exclaimed the minute she came out of the bathroom. As usual, she didn't allow Zhen Zhen to assist her with anything other than preparing her bath.

"You sure are refreshed, Xi Xhen". Lilie announced before flying towards Xi Xhen and giving her the male attire she was to wear.

Indeed, male attire was her favorite. This time around, the colour of the male attire was black.

"Thanks". Xi Xhen collected the attire from Lillie. "Aha". Something came to her mind. She had been meaning to ask Lilie about this earlier, but she forgot to.

"Lilie…. If you don't mind, I need you to tell me who Jia Li is". Xhen's words made Lilie dumbfounded and lost for words.

'How did she know Jia Li? I never told her the name'. Lilie thought.
