Chapter 335 - Uninvited Spectator (2/2)

Prince Yi obviously did not like the answer, he looked up at her with a disgruntled frown and said, ”It doesn't suit you...”

Lei Xing raised a questioning eyebrow, with slightly narrowed her eyebrows and he immediately realized he had spoken out of turn and backtracked, ”I mean, it suits you... It's just, well...If you want I can take it off for you.” He fumbled and then looked at her with a determined and expectant gaze as he waited for her answer.

Lei Xing lightly snorted and then removed raised her hand, ”It's fine...” She dismissively said. before turning to the side and nonchalantly sweeping a glance about the beautiful cave room with a little smile.

When Lei Xing raised her hand, the Emperor had gotten a good look at the bracelet that was the point of discussion. Not that he was really expecting anything. It was just that he assumed that if he would be dreaming about a bracelet, it would be the one she used to wear, the one that she claimed terrorized her.

But it was not that bracelet, this one was very different. It was a bracelet made of pearls, with a rhombus-shaped midnight gemstone that looked like it held the starry night sky as the centerpiece. The Emperor could not place it but he was sure that he had seen it before.

The Emperor was distracted when he heard himself snort as his fixed on Prince Yi, who was intently staring at Lei Xing with a disgruntled pout, while Lei Xing stared everywhere but at him. He could not be sure whether Lei Xing was ignoring him on purpose, but whichever it was, he was amused watching his brother squirm in her presence.

Prince Yi finally found his tongue, ”But -”

”Hehe~”

The three people froze when they heard that light feathery snicker, which disappeared so soon that it made one unsure if they actually heard it. Lei Xing and Prince Yi looked at each other questioningly, obviously, neither of them had done that. And the Emperor knew he did not either.

Before the three could collect their thoughts, a voice suddenly exclaimed, ”Ow! Who's the brat who put this rock here?!”

They immediately looked at one of the few large crystal boulders near the entrance and next thing, a familiar form walked out from behind it, a form that surprised the Emperor.

Doctor Lou came out from behind the crystal boulder, squinting at it, ”You better watch yourself or I'll grind you to dust!” He warned, then he turned to the two people at the center and blinked in innocent surprise, ”Ohh... You're still here?”

”Were you eavesdropping on us?!” Prince Yi exclaimed in surprise, visibly taken aback.

Doctor Lou squinted at Prince Yi and then haughtily raised his head, ”Nooo... I was proudly listening, I do not eavesdrop...unlike some people.” He finished, turning his head to the side and squinting at where the Emperor stood.

The Emperor immediately felt himself freeze, feeling a slight pang of guilt. The old man could see him, he had to be. It could not simply be a coincidence that the old man cast an accusing gaze his way when he said that.

”Of course...” Lei Xing sarcastically mumbled and Doctor Lou turned his accusing gaze on her, ”You were the ones who ruined my nap... And I was simply being considerate. You should thank me.” He indignantly stated as he strolled over to where the Emperor ”invisibly” stood in slow deliberate steps with a curiously raised eyebrow.

The Emperor felt himself gulp, feeling a bit nervous as Doctor Lou stopped in front of him. The old man then squinted up at his face and the Emperor knew for sure that he was about to get exposed.

The Emperor felt himself worriedly glance up at Lei Xing and then frown down at the old man, who now had a mischievous smile on his face as he slowly stretched out an index finger towards the Emperor's c.h.e.s.t. The Emperor gulped again, he wanted to move out of the way but his body was still not responding, it stood firm and simply frowned down at the old man, who was clearly messing with him at this point.

”Xing Xing, did you know...” The old man intentionally dragged out the words, ”Ah?” He went with a frown as his finger went through the Emperor's body. Doctor Lou c.o.c.ked his head and then used both arms to wave through the Emperor's body, wading through nothing but air.

”What are you doing?” Lei Xing asked with a confused eyebrow as she watched the old man flapping his arms like a bird.
