Xiao Ya subconsciously tightened her grip on the tray.
Si Jian Ye stopped, his lone, tall figure evoking endless imagination. His cold voice slowly dropped, "What do you want to talk about?"
Xiao Ya deliberately glanced around.
Many maids were coming and going.
Xiao Ya appeared hesitant and troubled. "Your Majesty, this is not a place to talk. Shall we go inside?"
Si Jian Ye lightly lowered his eyelids, glanced at Xiao Ya, and strode into the room.
Seeing this, Xiao Ya quickly followed.
Not far away, Bai Nian Nian happened to push open the door and saw Xiao Ya stepping into Si Jian Ye's room.
"Master, something's wrong!"
Bai Nian Nian quickly retracted her steps and rushed towards Feng Ning He, her beautiful face filled with urgency. "Master, do you know what I just saw? I saw Xiao Ya step into the King of Hell's room!"
Feng Ning He seemed to hear something interesting and raised her delicate eyebrows. "Oh?"
Bai Nian Nian quickly leaned closer, her beautiful face filled with urgency. "Master, could it be that Xiao Ya has taken a liking to the King of Hell?"
Feng Ning He chuckled dismissively. "Even if she has taken a liking to the King of Hell, so what?"
"Aren't you worried?"
Bai Nian Nian raised her face, blinked her bright eyes, and did not hide the doubt in her eyes. "To be honest, Xiao Ya is not bad-looking. She looks delicate and weak, and men might just like that."
Feng Ning He opened her lips and said decisively, "The King of Hell has seen all sorts of women and will not be interested in her."
As the King of Hell of Xiyou Continent, his status was noble, and there were no shortage of women around him.
Yet, there had never been a woman by the King of Hell's side.
Xiao Ya was not particularly outstanding. If Si Jian Ye truly took a liking to her, Feng Ning He would question Si Jian Ye's taste.
Bai Nian Nian looked at her with curiosity. "Master, then I'll keep an eye on her for you. I'll see how long it takes for Xiao Ya to come out."
Bai Nian Nian raised her eyes from time to time, staring at the door of Si Jian Ye's room.
Inside the room.
Xiao Ya poured Si Jian Ye a cup of tea, occasionally glancing at the man in front of her.
Si Jian Ye's eyes were slightly lowered, his chiseled face expressionless and cold. The words that came out of his mouth were exceptionally chilling. "Speak."
Xiao Ya bit her lip slightly and said with some trepidation, "Your Majesty, I accidentally overheard Miss Feng's conversation, and that's how I learned about her attitude towards you..."
Her words did not change Si Jian Ye's expression. He sat silently on the chair, clearly waiting for Xiao Ya to speak.
Xiao Ya pushed the tea towards him, her eyes darting around. "Your Majesty, have a sip of tea to moisten your throat first, and I'll tell you slowly."
As long as the King of Hell drank the tea, she would have a chance to become his woman.
Si Jian Ye casually picked up the tea, brought it to his lips, and took a sip. He raised his eyes to look at Xiao Ya. "Can you speak now?"
Xiao Ya lowered her gaze slightly and said calmly, "Your Majesty, Miss Feng does not treat you as well as you treat her. She does not have much affection for you, so why do you bother so much for her?"
From their interactions during this period, she had gained some understanding of the relationship between Feng Ning He and Si Jian Ye.
Although they had a daughter, they did not have much affection for each other.
Feng Ning He had not even spent much effort on Si Jian Ye.
"Is that your reason for drugging this seat?"
Si Jian Ye raised his eyelids, a cold light flashing. His thin, cold gaze was like a sharp blade that could devour a person alive.
Upon hearing his words, Xiao Ya's heart tightened. Her expression became a little flustered, and her smile was somewhat forced. "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
Si Jian Ye raised his hand, picked up the tea he had taken a sip of, and his narrow eyes locked onto Xiao Ya. "Do you think you can deceive heaven and earth by putting poison in the tea, and deceive my eyes?"
Such a gaze seemed to penetrate one's heart.
Xiao Ya swallowed subconsciously, her heart filled with unease. "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? How could I possibly poison you?"
Ji Bin Yu had said that this medicine was extremely potent.
With just one sip, even a chaste woman would turn into a harlot. The same applied to men; no matter how firm their will, they would fall before the drug.
Si Jian Ye raised his eyelids, holding the tea, and strode towards Xiao Ya.
The cold aura emanating from the man sent shivers down one's spine.
Xiao Ya subconsciously took a step back.
A powerful spiritual energy tightly bound Xiao Ya.
Xiao Ya could not move, and a look of panic involuntarily appeared on her face. "Your Majesty, what do you want to do?"
Si Jian Ye grunted, not answering her. His well-defined fingers fiercely gripped Xiao Ya's chin, and he forcefully poured the tea into her mouth.
He was the King of Hell of Xiyou Continent and had seen all sorts of tricks.
Xiao Ya's methods were nothing in his eyes.
He had taken a sip and knew the tea was poisoned, so he spat it out.
Xiao Ya's cultivation was low, so how could she see through it?
"No!"
Xiao Ya's eyes widened in terror, and she shook her head frantically.
At this moment, facing this handsome face, she no longer felt infatuation but fear.
Even though she resisted with all her might, she was completely powerless.
The tea was poured into her mouth.
Xiao Ya choked badly and coughed violently, but no matter how much she coughed, she could not spit out the tea.
As the tea entered her stomach, a ball of fire began to burn in her chest, as if it were about to consume her entirely.
Si Jian Ye struck her with a palm.
Bang!
Si Jian Ye had controlled his spiritual power, but Xiao Ya's body was still heavily thrown out of the room and fell to the ground with a thud.
"Master! Look!"
In another room, Bai Nian Nian kept observing the outside movements.
Seeing Xiao Ya fall out of the room, Bai Nian Nian quickly exclaimed, "Xiao Ya was thrown out of the room! It looks like the King of Hell threw her out! The door was even broken!"
Bai Nian Nian's exaggerated reaction successfully attracted Feng Ning He's attention.
She looked up and saw that the two doors of Si Jian Ye's room were broken.
Xiao Ya's body fell heavily to the ground.
With this fall, Xiao Ya's body was in unbearable pain, as if her internal organs were about to fall out. A burning fire was also continuously burning within her.
The flames continued to burn, and she gradually lost her reason.
Xiao Ya quickly turned her gaze to her surroundings and, without a word, rushed out.
"What happened?"
"Why did Xiao Ya fly out? Did the King of Hell attack her? But why would the King of Hell attack her?"
The commotion here successfully attracted the attention of the maids.
The maids chattered and pointed fingers.
Bai Nian Nian could not hide her curiosity and quickly said, "Master, let's go and see what happened!"
Seeing Bai Nian Nian's eager look, Feng Ning He smiled and followed her out of the room.
"Your Majesty, what happened?"
A Xi descended from the sky and quickly arrived beside Si Jian Ye.
