Chapter 254: Night Intrusion at the Courtyard

Bai He pointed in a direction.

Xu Feng took the lead to scout ahead.

It was very quiet and very remote.

There was not a single servant or patrol guard in sight.

Fine.

This was the kind of treatment Ye Shiyuan should have.

If he had the same treatment as Ye Xingyun, that would be truly strange.

Now that they had arrived here, there was no need to keep hiding or sneaking around.

It was only then that Bai He heard a female voice coming from ahead.

The voice was very pleasant, very young, soft and sweet, yet also carrying a hint of charm.

It was as melodious as a nightingale in a valley.

Anyone who heard it would immediately want to see what the woman with such a voice looked like.

Bai He was no different.

But his curiosity about the woman’s appearance was not purely because of the voice.

It was simply because of one thing.

Why was there a woman in the place where Ye Shiyuan was staying, at such a late hour?

Bai He could not describe what he was feeling.

In short, he was a little angry.

Even if he trusted Ye Shiyuan, at a time like this, who could really remain so calm and generous?

"Host, maybe she is just the protagonist’s friend?"

"Are you saying Ye Shiyuan has a female friend who is close enough to come to his residence in the middle of the night? You might as well say she is his biological mother. That would sound more believable."

But Bai He knew that Ye Shiyuan’s mother was already no longer alive.

"Xiao Feng?"

"Master, what are your instructions?"

"You stay here and keep watch. I will go in and take a look."

Xu Feng nodded in agreement.

Bai He then carefully and quietly walked into the courtyard.

This place was much more worn down compared to the courtyard he had visited before.

It was even worse than his own residence at Baize Peak.

His Baize Peak was already quite dilapidated.

Bai He decided that after returning, he really needed to renovate his home properly.

As he moved closer, the woman’s voice became even clearer.

"Ye Shiyuan, why will you not agree? If I can save my imperial father, I can fulfill any request you make."

"Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are decided by heaven. No one is allowed to interfere with the natural order of life and death. It is getting late, you should return early."

After a moment of silence, the woman spoke again.

"Shiyuan, do you know why I came to find you so late at night?"

Something seemed to happen inside the room.

Only Ye Shiyuan’s somewhat angry voice could be heard.

"Princess Yangshi, please conduct yourself with propriety."

Bai He curiously peeked toward the room.

What was going on inside?

He could vaguely see a woman embracing Ye Shiyuan.

But very quickly, Ye Shiyuan pushed her away.

"Princess Yangshi, do not forget your identity."

"Only as long as you are willing to save my imperial father, I can agree to any of your requests, even to the point of handing over half of my imperial father’s kingdom to you. Shiyuan, have you not always wanted to seek justice for your grandfather and your mother? All of this can be fulfilled. Even I, I can give myself to you."

Princess Yangshi was known as the most beautiful woman in the entire Zhongdu City.

Her voice was as melodious as a golden oriole and her appearance was beyond compare.

She excelled in qin, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

It was only unfortunate that her standards were too high.

Even after reaching the age suitable for marriage, she had not wed, nor had she been engaged.

Now, she was willing to lower herself for Ye Shiyuan, simply in hopes that Ye Shiyuan would save her imperial father.

She believed that Ye Shiyuan would not refuse her.

From childhood to adulthood, as long as Princess Yangshi set her mind on something, any man would be moved.

Not to mention that she was being so proactive now.

She and Ye Shiyuan actually knew each other from a very young age.

In the past, she would not even spare him a glance.

Now, even though Ye Shiyuan had changed greatly and returned here, given his proud nature, he would definitely not do something like this.

However, she truly had no other choice now.

She had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure.

"Princess Yangshi, I already entered the path of cultivation. Right now, I am only here to settle some worldly matters before I began cultivating. After I finish, I will leave. As for His Majesty’s condition, I am powerless to help. I ask the Princess to seek other methods as soon as possible."

Ye Shiyuan took several steps back, keeping a distance from Princess Yangshi to avoid what had just happened from occurring again.

Who would have thought that the proud and haughty Princess Yangshi, who in childhood would not even spare him a glance, would actually do something like that?

At this moment, Bai He could not help but complain to Mo Zhu.

"He has other girls already, he does not want me anymore."

"Host, let me clarify this first. No one here can see your tears. Crying will not help."

Bai He forcibly swallowed back the tears that were about to fall.

Right, even if he cried, no one would see it.

Who would feel sorry for him?

"Also, Host! I must correct you on one thing. Based on the current situation, I think it is actually the other woman’s one sided feelings. The protagonist is extremely self disciplined. If he were really the kind of person you are imagining, then Battle Through The Three Realms would not be a no female lead novel. It would probably be a harem story instead."

Bai He puffed out his cheeks.

He really wanted to rush in and directly tell that woman that Ye Shiyuan belonged to him, and no one was allowed to covet him.

However, deep down, he also did not want to meet Ye Shiyuan so quickly.
