Chapter 69: Volume 1, Chapter 69: Latest Task: Take Off the Regent's Clothes

"Don't see her!"

Upon hearing the guard's report, Ye Lanjue reacted immediately.

The guard, hearing this, was terrified and prepared to retreat.

"Wait..."

The guard, who had retreated to the door, stopped immediately, not daring to look up, just waiting for instructions.

Ye Lanjue: "What did she come for?"

Thinking of what happened the last time Yun Qiyue sought him out, Ye Lanjue's face looked very ugly.

Guard: "Young Lady Yun brought a food box, which is said to contain delicious food."

Delicious food?

What kind of trick was that woman trying to pull again?

But thinking of the braised noodles Yun Qiyue had made for him yesterday, the coldness on Ye Lanjue's face dissipated a little.

"Let her in."

The guard was shocked and couldn't even care about his fear, looking up at Ye Lanjue in disbelief.

But just as the guard met Ye Lanjue's cold, expressionless face, he was so scared he immediately lowered his head. "Yes."

When the guard retreated, the back of his clothes was already soaked with sweat.

Yun Qiyue successfully entered the Regent's Mansion.

After entering, someone led the way.

But along the way, Yun Qiyue received many glances from all sides of the Regent's Mansion. Yun Qiyue pretended not to know and scanned her eyes around, observing the scenery of the Regent's Mansion.

To be honest, the Regent's Mansion was very large, and the scenery was not bad, but it was permeated with a sense of emptiness everywhere, as if no one lived there. It was cold, stern, and lacked any human warmth; she didn't like it.

Yun Qiyue was soon brought to the inner courtyard, and the servant didn't continue forward.

"Young Lady Yun, our Prince is in the study." The servant pointed to the location of the study. "You can go in yourself."

With that, he fled in a hurry, as if being chased by a monster.

Yun Qiyue: "..."

Was this inexplicably... trying to increase the tense atmosphere for her?

Yun Qiyue walked toward the study. Just as she pushed open the study door, before she even saw Ye Lanjue, she suddenly heard a 'beep' in her mind.

This sound meant the system was about to issue a task.

Issuing a task the moment she pushed open the study door—why did she have a bad feeling about this?

Yun Qiyue looked straight ahead... actually, she was looking at the system screen, wanting to see what kind of scam task the system was going to give her.

"Host, the 'Kidnap a Handsome Man to Become a Life Winner' project has released the latest task: Take off the Regent's clothes, and the Host will receive fifty points."

Yun Qiyue: "..." There were many points, but why didn't she feel any joy?

Take off the clothes of the Regent who held power over the court?

Was such a god-level scam task easy to do?

She could guarantee that before she could even make a move, she would be slapped to death by that man.

Simply "Holy cow!"

Ye Lanjue looked at Yun Qiyue, who had frozen as soon as she entered, his face unhappy. He was standing right there, a big person—could it be that he wasn't as good-looking as that desk?

Also, "Holy cow"?

Ye Lanjue subconsciously looked at Yun Qiyue's hand, only to see her holding a big food box. Where did the cow come from?

Could it be that the food box was filled with grass?

"Are you going to feed me grass?" Thinking of this possibility, the cold air on Ye Lanjue couldn't stop, and he looked at Yun Qiyue coldly.

Yun Qiyue: "... What?"

What grass?

Seeing Ye Lanjue's gaze glaring at her food box, Yun Qiyue subconsciously pointed to it and said, "I made you something delicious."

With that, she walked straight to the desk, swiped everything on the desk to the side, and put down the food box.

Looking at the desk that had instantly become a mess, the veins on Ye Lanjue's forehead bulged, but he was inexplicably enduring it, taking a few steps toward the desk, his eyes glaring at the food box.

Yun Qiyue had better not take grass out of it, otherwise... Ye Lanjue's eyes narrowed dangerously.

Yun Qiyue had her back to Ye Lanjue and didn't know that Ye Lanjue had approached and that his eyes were already quite dangerous.

However, when Yun Qiyue opened the food box and revealed what was inside, Ye Lanjue's expression softened.

Not only did it soften, but when Ye Lanjue saw what was in the food box, his expression changed slightly.

A plate of braised noodles, even more sumptuous than what she had made in the Forbidden Land of the Ghost Night Pavilion yesterday.

A plate of osmanthus cakes, white and very fragrant and sweet.

A piece of pork skin jelly, looking QQ and refreshing, with color, aroma, and taste all complete.

But how did this woman know his preferences?

Ye Lanjue looked at the back of Yun Qiyue's head, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Sure enough, this woman had been plotting against him for a long time; otherwise, why would she even know what he liked to eat?

Inexplicably, the anger from being ignored by Yun Qiyue just a moment ago dissipated.

When Yun Qiyue placed the dishes on the desk, Ye Lanjue had already walked to the chair behind the desk and sat down.

Looking at the simple delicacies that could evoke his memories, Ye Lanjue didn't rush to pick up his chopsticks, but asked the question he hadn't figured out yet: "What is 'Holy cow'?"

This woman couldn't just say things without nutritional value for no reason.

So this sentence must have some deep meaning.

Yun Qiyue: "..."

Looking at Ye Lanjue in disbelief, "You know 'Holy cow'?"

Ye Lanjue: "Otherwise?" Did she think he was deaf and didn't hear that sentence?

Yun Qiyue was even more excited. "Are you a transmigrator too?"

This was "fellow countrymen meeting fellow countrymen, eyes full of tears."

If they were fellow countrymen, would there be fewer generation gaps and easier communication? That way, her operating room and life value would be settled.

Thinking this, Yun Qiyue felt beautiful.

Ye Lanjue looked at Yun Qiyue's "lovestruck" expression, his face darkening slightly. "What is 'transmigrator'?"

Why could this woman always say things that were inexplicable and that he couldn't understand? This gave him the illusion that he was very ignorant.

He didn't like it.

Yun Qiyue: "... Uh?"

He didn't even know what a transmigrator was, so how could he be a fellow countryman?

Had she gotten something wrong?

Yun Qiyue: "Then you said 'Holy cow'?"

Ye Lanjue frowned tightly. "You said it when you entered the door."

Yun Qiyue: "..." She had accidentally said it out loud?

Ye Lanjue saw the expression of disbelief on Yun Qiyue's face, and the displeasure on his face became even more obvious. "Yun Qiyue, are you scolding this Prince?"

Yun Qiyue: "No, absolutely not."

Even if she wanted to scold him, she could only do it in her heart.

Ye Lanjue: "Then explain to this Prince what 'Holy cow' means?"

Yun Qiyue: "..." It was just an interjection, the kind derived from "WTF."

But how was she supposed to explain this?

If she really explained it, would she be asked what "WTF" meant?

Finally, Yun Qiyue swallowed her saliva and said directly, "Well, I dreamed last night that I held a big cow, and it turned into something indescribable..."

Then, Yun Qiyue looked toward a certain place in the middle of Ye Lanjue.

Ye Lanjue: "... Dead woman, where are you looking?"

This woman was truly becoming more and more shameless!

He had never seen such a woman.

Yun Qiyue laughed it off. "Haha, I'm just joking with you, Prince, don't be angry, I'll pour you a cup of tea, let's calm down..."

With that, Yun Qiyue rushed toward the teapot.

She hadn't forgotten that she had to complete the task of taking off the Regent's clothes. ===== CHAPTER 70 =====
