After Leng Yihan covered herself with the blanket, her previous hazy feeling disappeared, and as her spiritual energy slowly recovered, she soon fell into a deep sleep...

-

"Leng Yihan? Leng Yihan? Hey, wake up! Everyone's already having breakfast!"

"Um...don't bother me...I was out for a long time last night and it was so late when I finally got back to sleep...can't I just...get some sleep...?" Leng Yihan replied unconsciously, her mind only focused on how to get some more sleep.

"Huh?" The person who came to wake Leng Yihan was taken aback. "You...you were out so late last night...where did you go?"

"Ah...? I... don't know..." Leng Yihan said, turning over and continuing to sleep.

"Wait...wait! Tell me where you went last night and I'll let you go back to sleep!!!" The person who came to wake Leng Yihan saw that Leng Yihan was about to fall asleep again and hurriedly shook his body and shouted anxiously.

"Hmm...I don't remember..."

"How do I get there? You could also tell me about the scenery!"

"Hmm... Go out and turn left... Turn right and jump onto... The red roof on the left... Walk all the way..." Leng Yihan suddenly fell silent again, and with steady breathing, she drifted off to sleep once more.

“…Go out and turn left, then turn right and jump onto the red roof on the left? Keep going… straight?” Leng Zhenmo got up, his face lost in thought. “Why did Leng Yihan go there last night… and so late…”

"Let's go and see...where he went." After thinking for a moment, Leng Zhenmo got up and left Leng Yihan's room. It was indeed impossible to wake Leng Yihan now, so he could only let him fall asleep first.

"Let me think... Turn left after leaving the courtyard... I guess that means turning left after leaving the courtyard?" Leng Zhenmo thought to herself, then walked out of the courtyard and headed straight along the path on the left. "It's all straight roads here..."

Indeed, apart from a few houses, the surrounding area is basically a straight road leading straight ahead. The interior of the Leng family estate... is so huge... it's probably almost as big as the small town outside...

That's right, it's spatial folding, I noticed that as soon as I came in...

After figuring it out, Leng Zhenmo stopped dwelling on it. She didn't encounter anyone along the way. Coincidentally, it was the shift change period for patrols, and only during this time would no one patrol. This was why Leng Zhenmo's journey was so smooth. After all, the place where the man in black and Leng Qiu met last night was not a place that ordinary people could enter.

"Then... turn right and jump onto the red roof on the left? Go straight?" Seeing the fork in the road, Leng Zhenmo indeed saw a red roof. After confirming that no one was around, Leng Zhenmo easily jumped onto it in two or three leaps, and then quickly walked straight ahead.

It happened very quickly, and Leng Zhenmo didn't know why she was in such a hurry.

"No... I need to calm down... Maybe they just went out to play... What a load of rubbish! This place doesn't look like a place for playing at all..." Leng Zhenmo thought to herself, finally reaching the end of the road.

“?!” Leng Zhenmo had just stopped when she looked at the black pit on the ground not far away.

"..."

This... has a familiar aura about it...

It seems... I've sensed this dangerous aura somewhere before...

This aura...

A scene suddenly flashed through Leng Zhenmo's mind.

That enormous ice spear.

That ice spear that instantly obliterated Elder Blood Fiend and Xuanqi, leaving them both in a state of near-death.

"That one?!"

"Oh? Do you perhaps know who made this thing, lady?" A voice suddenly rang out behind Leng Zhenmo.

"Huh?!" Leng Zhenmo suddenly turned around, but tripped over her own feet and fell directly into the open space behind her.

Suddenly, an arm grabbed Leng Zhenmo, freezing her in mid-air.

"Hey...you're really careless, little one?"

315 Leng Qingyue

"Let me go!" Leng Zhenmo quickly broke free from the embrace of the person holding her, flipped over and jumped off the roof, landing easily on the ground.

"Oh? He really isn't an ordinary person. I knew it..." Leng Zhenmo looked up, and there stood a handsome man... a man... who was using a fan to cover his face.

No...it's a girl, isn't it...?

Although she is indeed quite handsome, her curvaceous figure is something that her current clothes can't hide... However, it does look like she's dressed as a man, and she's trying her best to sound like a man, as if she's trying her best to hide her identity as a woman.

"Who...are you? Why are you here?"

"Me? Hehe~" the woman dressed as a man chuckled. "This is my 'garden,' and I love coming here to play. Today is no exception, so naturally I'll be here. Rather... who are you? Why are you in my 'garden'? And who made that pit that ruined the garden's scenery?"

"Ahem... I am Leng Zhenmo, a guest who was just invited here by the patriarch. I'm just here to familiarize myself with this place..." Leng Zhenmo smiled slightly. She remembered that the people here seemed to care a lot about this kind of thing. Although she wasn't very good at it... well, she was alright, wasn't she?

"Pfft, so Miss Leng is an outsider. There's no need to beat around the bush with a local like me. Just talk to me the way you're used to." The woman dressed as a man leaped down from the height and landed in front of Leng Zhenmo. She then leaned forward, her face almost touching Leng Zhenmo's, her big eyes seemingly trying to see something in Leng Zhenmo's eyes.

"Um... well... this lady... cough cough, young master, could you please not stand so close... men and women shouldn't touch each other..."

"Pfft... Miss Zhenmo, you can't tell I'm a woman, can you? My name is Leng Qingyue, and my hobby is what you see here right now." Leng Qingyue blinked and said.

"oh oh."

Wearing men's clothing and trying to imitate a boy's tone and voice... isn't it all about wanting to be like a boy?

That's true... how could one possibly talk about such a hobby...?

"Hey, Miss Zhenmo, you're younger than me, right? Is it alright if I call you 'little sister'?"

"Okay, then I'll call you sister too." Suddenly, for some reason, Leng Zhenmo felt much calmer, and the restless emotions in her heart disappeared completely.

“Okay, Zhenmo sister~ So can you tell me who made that pit? I’m really unhappy about it, after all, I really like coming to this garden~” Leng Qingyue’s fan covered half of her face. Although her eyes were smiling, Leng Zhenmo didn’t know what her true expression was.

However, Leng Zhenmo felt no emotion upon seeing Leng Qingyue now, and was even a little bored.

"Hmm... I don't know. I only know that I saw similar places on the road when I came from out of town. The same pits, and the aura left on them was very similar, but the scale of the place I saw was much smaller." Leng Zhenmo finished speaking in a calm voice. Her expressionless face made it impossible for Leng Qingyue to see through her thoughts.

"Hmm... I see." Leng Qingyue looked Leng Zhenmo up and down. She felt that Leng Zhenmo in front of her suddenly seemed like a different person. If the original Leng Zhenmo was a bit like a stern old-fashioned type, the current Leng Zhenmo really gave her a feeling of coldness and demonic power.

She was sparing with words, and exuded a faint but palpable killing intent. This was not something she intentionally emitted, but rather an aura that had unconsciously formed over the years as she had killed too many people in battle.

“I’m only at the third level now… How many people are there…” Leng Qingyue looked at Leng Zhenmo, becoming more and more curious about her.

"If Sister Qingyue has nothing else to do, I'll be leaving now," Leng Zhenmo said.

"No, no! We sisters just met, and we happen to share the same surname, Leng. I feel we get along quite well. Why don't you have some tea with me here? Let's chat about romance and such." Leng Qingyue immediately said, trying to persuade her to stay.

Romantic talk... You're talking about romantic things with someone of the same sex? Does that mean your sexual orientation is the same as a normal guy's?

"I..." Leng Zhenmo was about to refuse when a familiar voice came from outside.

"So you're here... I was wondering why I couldn't find you anywhere." Someone suddenly said at the entrance to the garden, sounding somewhat helpless.

"...What are you doing here?" Leng Zhenmo glanced around, her eyes expressionless as she looked at Leng Yihan, who had appeared at the door at some point.

"Didn't you come to call me for breakfast? I couldn't find you after I woke up, so I looked around and ended up here... Huh? Who's this lady?" Leng Yihan then pretended to be surprised when she saw Leng Qingyue, saying, "She's... unexpectedly handsome~"

"Hey~ Hahaha~ Thank you~ Little sister, what's your name? My name is Leng Qingyue! You can just call me Sister Qingyue~" Leng Qingyue blushed when Leng Yihan praised her like that, and said in a bold manner.

"My name is Leng Yihan~ Nice to meet you~ Were you just saying you wanted to have morning tea? I wonder... if I could do you the honor of joining you?" Leng Zhenmo only then noticed that Leng Yihan had somehow acquired a set of ancient-style women's clothing, and was even wearing a waist-length black wig. She slightly raised her sleeve to cover half of her face, her eyes curving into crescents, making it impossible to see her expression. She looked exactly like Leng Qingyue from just now!

"Hmm~ that's no problem at all! Then please go to the table first, I'll go inside and get some snacks to share with you." Leng Qingyue's lips curled up slightly, showing that she was very happy.

"Okay! Thank you for your help, Sister Qingyue!" Leng Yihan said with a smile, watching Leng Qingyue turn around and walk into the room not far away with a bit of excitement.

"Hey, Leng Yihan, what are you doing... and with your outfit... are you finally admitting you're a girl?!" Leng Zhenmo stepped forward and said, puzzled.

"I'm just using my advantages to get closer to some people... If she can dress as a man, why can't I dress as a woman? Besides, I look pretty good like this, don't I?" Leng Yihan seemed to have anticipated that Leng Zhenmo would ask her this question, so she had already prepared her answer and replied calmly.

"Hmm...you rascal...you must have some wicked idea again..." Leng Zhenmo pouted. "Never mind...I'll still be with you this time, don't worry."

"Hehe... thank you~" Leng Yihan smiled and led Leng Zhenmo to sit at one of the three tables in the garden, which was considered to have the best view.

Calling it a garden... well, that's not quite right. But it is indeed a beautiful place. There is a clear blue lake next to it, with lotus flowers blooming on the lake and all kinds of flowers blooming on the shore.

Perhaps... it's a garden?

"Hmm... It really suits you, crossdressing!"

"No, no...it's not suitable at all..."

"But you were the one who suggested the women's clothing condition, right? You captivated all the guards patrolling the streets, and you... actually enjoyed that feeling, didn't you?"

"No, no... Lu Youmei, what nonsense are you spouting?!"

What exactly is the purpose of 316?

"Mmm~ Delicious~ This pastry is so delicious, Sister Qingyue!" Leng Yihan said happily as she ate the unidentified white object on the table.

Aside from the way he spoke, his tone and actions were deliberately put on by Leng Yihan, but the feeling of 'delicious' came from his heart. It was truly the first time he had ever tasted such delicious pastries.

"Right? This Imperial Cake is a specialty of our Imperial Gate! If you don't like it, you don't have to pay!"

"Sister Qingyue, Sister Qingyue, what is this brown cake?"

"This one~ I remember... umm, it's a chocolate cake imported from Longmen! It's especially, especially delicious~"

"Really? May I try some?"

"I really like eating this too... Shall we each have a bite?"

"Uh-huh!"

Leng Yihan... what exactly is your purpose...?

Leng Zhenmo looked speechlessly at Leng Yihan, who was having so much fun with Leng Qingyue, holding the Yulin cake in her hand, hesitating whether to eat it or not.

"Hmm? Little Demon, why aren't you eating? It's delicious." Leng Yihan noticed Leng Zhenmo's hesitant expression as she looked at the Imperial Cake and said.

"Hmm? Little Demon Sister, is it not tasty?" Noticing what Leng Yihan said, Leng Qingyue realized that she had neglected this little girl and quickly said.

"Ah, no! It's just... I'm just a little preoccupied..." Leng Zhenmo quickly replied upon hearing Leng Qingyue's question.

"Hmm? Could it be... you're thinking about someone you like?" Leng Qingyue narrowed her eyes, giving him an expression that said, "I've seen right through you."

"No! That's not true at all!"

What a joke... I wasn't thinking about my crush at all!

If I were to say that I was thinking about my sweetheart, wouldn't that be...

So! Absolutely not! I was just wondering why Leng Yihan would abandon her dignity and cross-dress to come here and act cute like this, that's all!

"Oh dear, tell your sister about it!" Leng Qingyue leaned forward, a sly smile flashing across her face.

"Sister Qingyue, come here, ah~" Just when Leng Zhenmo was a little overwhelmed, Leng Yihan appeared again, with a small piece of chocolate cake stuck in her fork.

"Ah~" Leng Qingyue subconsciously opened her mouth and ate it, revealing a satisfied expression.

Then she collapsed.
