Chapter 154: Chapter 154: Watching the Show

Yan Luo spoke this one sentence as she walked past the Little Princess of the Empire. Without a second glance, she continued toward her own palace.

"You stop right there!" The Little Princess of the Empire couldn’t tolerate anyone speaking about her Gu Sui that way.

Hearing this, Yan Luo did indeed stop walking. She turned to look back at the Little Princess of the Empire, her expression cold. "What? Does Princess Jin Wan intend to teach me a lesson?"

The Little Princess of the Empire knew, of course, that she couldn’t actually punish Yan Luo. After all, Yan Luo was a Special-level Researcher. She had developed a serum that could lower the Beastification Value and was rumored to be researching a cure for spiritual power. That was why she had been granted long-term residence in the Imperial Palace—for easier access to research materials.

"You... you..." The Little Princess of the Empire was utterly furious. "Do I need you telling me what to do? You should just mind your own business."

"I have no intention of telling you what to do. I was merely expressing my own opinion." Yan Luo scoffed coldly, clearly having no desire to deal with someone like the Little Princess of the Empire any longer. She turned and walked away after she finished speaking.

The Little Princess of the Empire could only stomp her foot in frustration.

As Yan Luo led Hui toward her palace, she noticed Jiang Zheyu not far away. She shot Jiang Zheyu a cold look before averting her gaze.

’I really underestimated Jiang Zheyu.’ She hadn’t expected Jiang Zheyu’s spiritual power to be comparable to that of a Beastman.

Hui, standing behind Yan Luo, fixed a pair of sinister, cold eyes on Jiang Zheyu, his gaze unreadable. Ever since the day Yan Luo was abducted, Hui hadn’t had the time or inclination to deal with Jiang Zheyu.

He had originally planned to teach Jiang Zheyu a lesson.

But the incident with the Star Thieves had caused one delay after another.

He’d thought that the Star Thieves capturing Jiang Zheyu would have made her suffer.

He never imagined those Star Thieves would be so useless. Even more, he hadn’t expected that this female, Jiang Zheyu, would have spiritual power on par with a Beastman’s.

’It seems I’ll have to take matters into my own hands to make her suffer.’

Jiang Zheyu had just been standing there with a plate, eating her cake and enjoying the show. She never expected that right in the middle of it all, the female lead and that Hui behind her would suddenly look over. A chill ran down her spine.

’Why do I get the feeling that Hui, the guy behind the female lead, is looking at me with ill intent?’

’He probably still remembers how I offended him last time.’

’So narrow-minded and vindictive.’

Jiang Zheyu had just watched the female lead’s group leave when she felt another gaze land on her. She shifted her eyes slightly, following the line of sight, and saw Gu Sui staring at her with a sinister expression.

His face, which usually looked gentle and refined, now seemed twisted and sinister.

Just moments ago, through some discreet inquiries, Gu Sui had found out why the Little Princess of the Empire’s thinking had changed so drastically. It was all because of that female.

Jiang Zheyu.

’Since that’s the case...’ Gu Sui smiled enigmatically.

Jiang Zheyu felt there was no goodwill in his smile.

"Jin Wan, I don’t like you anymore. The one I like now is the female Zheyu." Gu Sui turned a brilliant, gentle smile on Jiang Zheyu, his gaze locking with hers from across the distance. "My esteemed female Zheyu, will you accept my love? I specifically chose you last night because I want to take you away with me to witness the cosmic rivers of stars. The truth is, I fell in love with you at first sight on the Star Network long ago."

When Jiang Zheyu heard this, her heart sank. ’He really is trying to frame me!’

’The drama I was watching just blew up in my own face.’

Jin Wan froze completely when she heard his words.

As the princess started to turn around, Jiang Zheyu scrambled back to her palace and slammed the door shut.

’No more watching the drama, no more watching the drama! I was just enjoying the show and ended up getting burned.’

But who would have known that the moment she shut the door, Jin Wan was already charging up to it and pounding furiously. "Jiang Zheyu, you open this door! Get out here! Are you hiding because you have a guilty conscience? Is that why you don’t dare to face me?"

Jiang Zheyu: ...

’I have nothing to feel guilty about! Anyone with half a brain could tell Gu Sui was spouting nonsense.’

But the Little Princess of the Empire just couldn’t see it. Just as expected, she came rushing over to lose her mind at her. After all, the Little Princess’s brain turns to mush when it comes to love. She becomes completely irrational when men are involved. Hearing Gu Sui’s lies, there was no telling what she might do to her in a fit of rage!

"I have nothing to feel guilty about!" Jiang Zheyu shouted to the person outside. "That Gu Sui is obviously spouting nonsense! You should go back and cool your head. I’m not dealing with you!"

"Jiang Zheyu!" The Little Princess’s shrill voice was still audible, even though it was muffled by the heavy door.

Jiang Zheyu quickly moved away from the door. A wonderful aroma tickled her nose. Turning around, she saw the dining table laden with delicious dishes—all of them familiar foods from Earth. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Her eyes lit up, and she hurried over to the table and sat down.

Jiang Yi had also noticed the commotion outside. He knew what had happened, but he didn’t say anything about it. Instead, he pulled out a chair for Jiang Zheyu. "I went to the cake shop yesterday, and the owner showed me the gift you gave him. I memorized the recipes inside and made them for you. This is my first time trying, so I hope Princess Yu Yu won’t be too disappointed."

In truth, the owner hadn’t shown him the cookbook. He had looked at it himself before the owner had a chance.

’He had initially wondered if Master Yu Yu had feelings for the cat-like owner of the Forest Cake House, but after seeing this cookbook, he dismissed the idea.’

’Princess Yu Yu probably just missed this food.’

’In that case, he would learn how to make them for her.’

Fortunately, a robot’s capacity for learning was immense. On his very first try, he managed to prepare a perfect feast.

As soon as she sat down, Jiang Zheyu eagerly took a bite. In an instant, her taste buds were completely captivated.

"You made all of this?" Jiang Zheyu asked, looking at Jiang Yi in utter astonishment.

"Didn’t Princess Yu Yu just see Jiang Yi busy in the kitchen?" Jiang Yi replied with a gentle smile.

"This is incredible! It’s so delicious!" Jiang Zheyu exclaimed, her cheeks puffed with food. "I love it!"

"Then I will make these for you every day," Jiang Yi said, gazing at Jiang Zheyu with adoration. His pink eyes sparkled like fluorescent pink diamonds.

Jiang Zheyu never imagined Jiang Yi had such a talent.

’It’s been so long since I’ve tasted food like this.’

She wouldn’t have to eat nutrient solution every day anymore.

This new butler was really winning her over.

A woman so easily captured by food, she decided the new butler surely meant her no harm, completely forgetting her wariness and her tests from just a few days ago.

Jiang Yi watched Jiang Zheyu, who kept her head down, focused solely on eating the delicious meal without sparing him a single glance.

He silently reached up and touched his rabbit ears.

’She’s so preoccupied with the food, she didn’t even notice. I deliberately let my ears show for her today.’

’Does she not like pink rabbit ears?’
