BXBX NOVEL Chapter 268
Chapter 268
By the time they had arrived back at the number one manor house, it was already midnight.
Everyone was exhausted. The group separated and went back to their respective courtyards. It was time to bathe and sleep.
However, Le Yao Yao laid in bed for four hours and couldn’t sleep at all. She gazed at the clear moon and continuously flipped back and forth.
She was very tired and sore, but she just couldn’t sleep.
The moment she closed her eyes, she would see the bloody dream she had. She also remembered the tall figure she saw during the day.
What if she wasn’t hallucinating? What if Yu was actually back?
But if he was back, why would he stare at her from afar and not reach out to her?
Could the dream she had be an omen?
Lately, Le Yao Yao’s intuition was telling her that Yu wasn’t dead. He was just in trouble.
If that was the case, she must go find him!
Regardless how difficult, she will find him and assist him!
They were husband and wife. Although they haven’t officially gone through the marriage ceremony, Le Yao Yao was set on him.
Naturally, they must enjoy blessings and endure misfortunes together!
Thinking of this, Le Yao Yao instantly sat upright. She looked around the room and saw Leng Yi Xuan sleeping soundly.
Le Yao Yao hopped off the bed and went over to the desk. She grinded the ink stick and began to write.
After completing her letter, Le Yao Yao placed it in an envelope and left it on the table. Then, she packed a few outfits and grabbed a stash of banknotes in the value of silver.
When Le Yao Yao finished all her tasks, she stood in front of the window and gazed at the moon.
Tonight, she will leave without saying goodbye. It was irresponsible of her, but she had no other option.
Her heart was determined that Yu was alive. But no one else believed her.
If she continued to push it, they will think she had turned insane. There was no way that her family and friends would support her and let her find Yu.
So, it was time that she left and look for him on her own. Even if Yu was truly gone, at least she could explore the world and not waste her transmigrated life.
Thinking of this, Le Yao Yao picked up the sack and placed it over her shoulder. Then, with one arm, she gently lifted her cute son and attentively covered him with a cloak.
Next, Le Yao Yao leaped onto the roof and disappeared into the night.
But Le Yao Yao had no idea that after she left, a figure in black entered the number one manor house like a ghost.
The figure made no sound at all. To be as undetectable as him, his martial arts must be at a very high level.
The figure managed to avoid all the guards and ultimately stopped outside of Winter Gardens.
Aside from the hung faint lantern by the door, there was no visible light coming from inside Winter Gardens.
The man stood quietly and waited outside. In a matter of seconds, the shut door was opened. “Who are you?”
Dongfang Bai had always been a light sleeper. So, he immediately sensed the man when he arrived at his courtyard.
But when Dongfang Bai saw the tall figure dressed in black, he froze.
The figure looked so familiar… it looked almost like…
But how was that possible?
Suddenly, the man in black turned around to face Dongfang Bai. He slowly removed his conical hat that concealed his face.
When Dongfang Bai saw who it was, he was speechless.
After a long period, Dongfang Bai finally uttered, “So, it’s really you…”

Dali was the most beautiful city in Heaven Yuan dynasty. The moment people opened their eyes, they would see and smell the refreshing scent of flowers. It had the ability to help others forget their problems.
So, Dali was also known as the city of flowers!
Aside from fresh flowers, Dali was also known for all sorts of tasty, distinctive snacks.
Every Spring, the city would host an annual cooking competition. This was a time where all the best chefs would gather and show off their talents.
The winner of the contest would be offer a position at one of the top taverns. So, the winner gains both fame and fortune!
Le Yao Yao happened to arrive in Dali the day before the competition.
Today, the cooking competition was taking place at Dali’s public square.
So, currently, in the middle of the public square were rows of long tables. On top of the tables were cooking utensils. There was a nice distance between each table.
When it was exactly noon, the gong struck to indicate the start of the contest. In no time, the public square was filled with smoke of cooking. Sounds of chopping and frying could be heard everywhere.
At this moment, Le Yao Yao was disguised as a man. She had her sack hanging from one shoulder and Leng Yi Xuan in her other hand. They were watching the contest.
Lately, they’ve been to many places. Initially, the goal was to search for Yu. But she had no idea where to start.
So now, their goal had gradually shifted to a scenic tour around the country.
Just like that, it had already been over a month since she left the number one manor house.
Leng Yi Xuan was continuously sucking in his saliva. Le Yao Yao could hear him and couldn’t help but touch his little nose. “Xuan’er, are you hungry? Why don’t we go get some food?”
“No, mommy! Xuan’er is not hungry. But these uncles cook so well! The aroma is better than what we had in the Palace!”
Le Yao Yao instantly covered Leng Yi Xuan’s mouth. “Xuan’er! Didn’t mommy tell you not to mention about the Palace in public? Don’t let others hear, understand?” she whispered in her son’s ear.
Leng Yi Xuan immediately lifted his little hands and tightly covered his mouth as he nodded like he was pounding garlic.
Leng Yi Xuan didn’t understand why they couldn’t talk about the Palace, but since his mother said so, he will listen.
Le Yao Yao kissed his smooth cheek and reminded. “Also, from now on, call me daddy.”
The reason why Le Yao Yao was so insistent on this is because when she dressed up as a woman, there were so many hungry men after her. To prevent unnecessary trouble, Le Yao Yao decided to disguise as a man.
“But you’re clearly mommy! Also, Xuan’er doesn’t have a dad. Xuan’er remembers Xiao Gui Zi talking about his daddy and mommy before. How come I only have mommy but no daddy!?” Leng Yi Xuan asked innocently.
Le Yao Yao felt as if something was stabbing her heart. She couldn’t pull it out, so she could only endure the pain…
She stared at her curious son’s face and tried to suppress the pain. “Xuan’er, be good. You do have a daddy. Who says you don’t?”
“Then where is Xuan’er’s daddy?”
