Due to how cold it was, Yu Yunxi had no choice but to get out of bed to close the window. However, just as she closed the window, another gust of wind blew it open.

Yu Yunxi:

She narrowed her eyes as she began to observe her surroundings carefully. In just a brief moment, she heard a faint noise in her surroundings. It sounded like a woman crying.

‘Oh, right, I remember this…’

The first day that Yu Yunxi and Meng Xia moved in, they heard this eerie noise as well. In the days following that, they continued to hear the eerie noise, but nothing strange happened.

‘What’s going on today?’

It was the 15th so the moon was full tonight. However, it was hidden by the clouds tonight, making everything darker.

Yu Yunxi left her room and looked around. Soon enough, she discovered that there was movement from Meng Xia and (Xian Qing’s rooms. The lack of movement was strange because they were all very vigilant so they should have been alerted by the noise.

‘Am I the only one who can hear the noise?’

After thinking about it for a moment, Yu Yunxi returned to her room. Although this matter was really strange, she was not afraid at all. She scoffed lightly as she got into bed again. However, as soon as she lay down, she heard a creaking noise from the door.

‘Oh, it seems like someone’s impatient. Let me see who’s pretending to be a ghost!’

Yu Yunxi’s eyes glinted coldly as she brought the dagger under her pillow out with one swift motion and threw it toward the door. Unexpectedly, she heard a familiar voice, and not long after, she heard the sounds of familiar footsteps.

“Feng, Feng Yili?!”

Yu Yunxi was shocked when she saw the tall figure approaching her. She did not expect it to be him. She quickly got up and reached to check Feng Yili’s body, wanting to make sure he was not injured.

“How are you? Did I hurt you earlier?”

Yu Yunxi continued to examine Feng Yili’s body for a long time until he could no longer endure it. He grabbed her restless hands and said hoarsely, “Yunxi, don’t move around.”

‘Huh?’

Yu Yunxi looked up at him curiously.

‘Why does he sound so strange? Is he sick?’

However, it did not take long before she felt the warmth from Feng Yili’s body. Realization dawned on her, and her face turned red immediately.

Without giving Yu Yunxi a chance to speak, Feng Yili pulled her into his arms and rested his chin on the top of her head.

“I miss you so much.”

Yu Yunxi’s ears turned red when she heard this. He did not beat around the bush at all and expressed his feelings directly. They had not seen each other for only a day, but he spoke as though they had not seen each other for many years. Nonetheless, her restless heart seemed to calm down when she heard his words.

After a moment, Yu Yunxi placed her hand on his chest and pushed him away slightly. She cleared her throat before she asked, “Wait, Feng Yili. Did you hear any strange noises?”

Feng Yili gulped when he felt the warmth from her delicate hands. He could also smell her fragrance, and it only further fanned the flames. However, when he recalled the purpose of his visit, he could only suppress his urge to kiss her. He asked lightly, “Are you talking about a woman’s cry?”

“You heard it as well?” Yu Yunxi asked, surprised.

“Yes, I heard it at the door earlier. Previously, I investigated the King of Zhenbei’s Residence. It’s said that after your mother passed away, this courtyard became haunted. Many servants who came to this courtyard on the 15th went crazy, and some of them even took their own lives,” Feng Yili said. As he told Yu Yunxi about what he had learned, his gaze turned old.

Yu Yunxi smiled coldly. “No wonder the mother and daughter were so enthusiastic about me staying in this courtyard. As it turns out, there’s really something fishy going on here.”

It was not difficult to guess that the mother and daughter were in their rooms now, fantasizing about the tragic state she was in.

After a moment, Yu Yunxi looked up at Feng Yili and asked, “Do you really think it’s haunted here?”

Although it was dark and Feng Yili could not see clearly, he had no doubt that the gaze of his princess consort at this moment must be very enchanting. He replied immediately, “No. I’ve never believed in gods and ghosts. If there’s something unusual, the culprit has to be human.”

Yu Yunxi quickly nodded in agreement. Then, she poked his arm and asked,

“Why don’t we work together and lure that thing out tonight?”

Whatever it was had provoked Yu Yunxi for so long so how could she not take action?

Feeling her fingertip on his arm, Feng Yili lowered his eyes that were surging with emotions.

‘Is she trying to tease me?’

“Hey, are you going to help me or not?” Yu Yunxi asked, slightly impatient. After all, she had waited for a long time, but she still did not hear Feng Yili’s response.

Just as Yu Yunxi raised her hand to poke Feng Yili’s chest, he suddenly grabbed her hand and bit her finger very gently. It was extremely ambiguous. At this moment, she felt as though there was an explosion in her mind, and her face and ears flushed red.

“Feng Yili, you…” Yu Yunxi said tremblingly.

Feng Yili looked like a wolf lurking in the dark at this moment, ready to devour his prey at any time. He said, “If you provoke me again, I can’t guarantee what will happen to you…”

Feng Yili’s voice was hoarse, and the desire in his eyes was undisguised.

Yu Yunxi quickly stepped back. She had to admit she had been deliberately teasing him earlier, but she did not expect him to be so easily provoked.

Feng Yili leaned over and whispered, “Yunxi, I’m just a normal man. How can I remain indifferent when faced with the woman I love?” Feng Yili’s voice was low, and his breath lingered. Yu Yunxi’s heart thumped wildly in her chest.

“Feng Yili, 1, 1…”

Feng Yili leaned closer and bit her earlobe gently before he said in a deep voice,

“I won’t forget about this matter. After we deal with the enemy, I’ll settle the accounts with you.”

Yu Yunxi’s legs were a little weak.

‘Why does it feel like I’ve provoked a wolf?’

Feng Yili raised an eyebrow and looked at the nervous woman in front of him with a burning gaze.

‘She seems to have forgotten she’s my wife. Even if something happens between us, it’s only right…’

Finally, Feng Yili held her hand and led her out as he said, “The cry seems to come from outside. Let’s go out first..”
