Chapter 158: Nian Sulan
“Sweetie, you’ve finally returned. Your aunt misses you dearly!”
The Dowager Empress tightly held onto Sulan’s hand as she exclaimed.
“Aunt! Lan’er also misses you!”
“If you miss aunt, then why haven’t you returned during these past five years?!”
“Aunt, it’s not that Lan’er didn’t want to return. Aunt is aware how much Lan’er loves to dance. If Lan’er had not mastered her skills at the Jing Hong Institution, Lan’er would have been an embarrassment if she had returned.”
“Oh dear…..”
“Aunt, don’t be angry! From now on, Lan’er pledges that she will remain by your side….”
“Haha…”
The Dowager Empress and Lan’er had finally reunited after five years. Seeing this, Leng Zi Hao was delighted.
“It has been five years. Cousin Lan has turned into a sweet, fair, and graceful woman. Your stunning performance must have stolen countless hearts away.”
“Cousin Emperor, please don’t tease Lan’er.” Nian Sulan blushed.
The Emperor and the Dowager Empress continued to converse with Sulan. Below, the music and dancing resumed.
However, no one was interested in the performances anymore. Everyone was busy discussing the beauty by the Dowager Empress’s side.
Especially the men. After all, noblemen all desired beauties. Although men wanted wise and virtuous women as wives, the hot ones stimulated their beastly sides!
Based on everyone’s comments, Le Yao Yao found out that the lady in red was the Dowager Empress’s brother’s daughter. The Dowager Empress’s brother and his wife passed away many years ago. Hence, their daughter became an orphan. So, the Dowager Empress pitied the child and raised her as her own. In no time, twelve years had gone by. Sources say that Sulan loved dancing and requested to attend the Jing Hong Institution to study dance.
In society, everyone wanted their sons to be dragons and their daughters to be phoenixes. All wealthy parents were willing to pay whatever price it took in order to gain a spot in the Jing Hong Institution. After all, those who graduated from the institution were giants amongst men.
However, the Jing Hong Institution was a reputable name. They had heaps of applicants. As a result, money wasn’t enough to guarantee a spot.
Those who were accepted into the institution were personally selected by the teachers. All applicants had to go through an audition process to demonstrate their abilities and talents. If the teachers wanted them, they would be taken under their wings and trained.
No wonder her performance was so spectacular! She had trained in the Jing Hong Institution for the past five years!
After listening to all the gossips around her, Le Yao Yao couldn’t help but gaze at the lady in red again.
She noticed that although the lady in red was by the Dowager Empress’s side, her eyes kept turning towards the King of Hell.
Looks like this Nian Sulan is interested in the King of Hell…
The Dowager Empress’s birthday banquet continued for the entire night. It wasn’t over until everyone had finished their dinner.
Since Le Yao Yao had been super busy planning and preparing the plays lately, she was exhausted.
She had stood for the whole day, and now her back and waist were sore. She was walking very sloppily.
Currently, she was following the nobles as they left the Hall.
The horse carriage was already waiting for them at the entrance gate.
It was quite late, and everyone was tired. All they wanted to do was to return and rest.
Le Yao Yao inhaled a deep breath of fresh air and realized she was hungry again.
The King of Hell and his crew were taking huge strides. On the other hand, Le Yao Yao was holding on her flat tummy as she chased after them.
Although she had eaten a bit earlier, her stomach was already empty.
Her stomach kept making *gulugulu* sounds. Gradually, Le Yao Yao felt weak and her steps became slower and slower.
I’m so tired and hungry….
While Le Yao Yao was thinking, suddenly, Dongfang Bai halted his steps and turned around. Perhaps, he sensed something was wrong with Le Yao Yao. He caringly asked, “Brother Yao, are you alright?”
When it came to Dongfang Bai, Le Yao Yao was always honest. So, Le Yao Yao touched her flat tummy and told Dongfang Bai the truth.
“Brother Bai, I’m hungry.”
Le Yao Yao was making a pitiful face like a starving dog. She looked so cute.
Seeing this, Dongfang Bai laughed.
“If that’s the case, why don’t we go for a midnight snack at the Ruyi tavern!? I happened to be a little hungry as well.”
“Ohhhh! Brother Bai, you’re awesome!”
Unexpectedly, Nangong Jun Xi heard their conversation and yelped.
“What?! You’re hungry AGAIN? Are you a pig? You can eat so much!”
“Eh….?!”
“Servant is not a pig. Servant is currently going through puberty. So, naturally, servant has to eat more! Plus, if servant was a pig, has 7th Prince ever seen such a cute pig before?!”
“PSssh, you? Cute?”
Nangong Jun Xi snorted. “Stop being a narcissist!”
“Servant has the right to be a narcissist!”
Le Yao Yao angrily glared at Nangong Jun Xi. Then, she turned and instantly replaced her scorning face with a smiling face.
“Brother Bai, am I cute?”
“Haha, of course! Brother Yao is the cutest!” Dongfang Bai chuckled.
“Hehe. Brother Bai always tell the truth. That’s why I like brother Bai so much!” Le Yao Yao beamed.
Unexpectedly, the moment she said that line, Le Yao Yao felt a sharp glare on her. She began to shiver.
Le Yao Yao could see the King of Hell giving her the killer glare. He was silent though.
What the heck is up with him now? She wasn’t even talking to him. He had been giving her the icy face the whole night!
Le Yao Yao was fuming on the inside. But she had no idea that the King of Hell was angry because of what she had just said.
“He” said he likes Dongfang Bai?
Oh God! He was correct!
Could it be that he wasn’t as good as Dongfang Bai?
Could it be that he didn’t treat him as good as Dongfang Bai?
First, he said he wanted to leave him. Now, he says he likes Dongfang Bai!
What an ungrateful servant!
So now, the King of Hell was releasing an intense cold aura. Not only did Le Yao Yao felt it, Dongfang Bai and Nangong Jun Xi could both sense it as well.
“Yu, are you alright?”
“Yeah. Senior brother, are you okay?”
Leng Jun Yu gritted his teeth and icily responded, “I’m fine.”
“Then let’s head to the Ruyi tavern, senior brother!”
Nangong Jun Xi could tell Leng Jun Yu was moody. But he had no idea why. So, he decided to leave it. Since the little servant was hungry and he couldn’t sleep anyway, they might as well head to Ruyi tavern for a snack.
But before Leng Jun Yu could respond, a clear and feminine voice rang from behind them.
“Cousin Yu, please wait.”
The group paused and turned around to look.
Underneath the white moon, with the lit lanterns, was a graceful figure. Her movements were dazzling like a fluttering butterfly.
This beauty looked approximately seventeen years of age and she was chasing after them. It was none other than Nian Sulan!

Oooh dear.
Now is Nian Sulan going to be jealous of the little eunuch for stealing away Prince Rui’s heart, or is she going to be seduced by the little eunuch?
Interesting that Nian Sulan has designs on Prince Rui. Most other novels scoff at “flower vase” women and that these women that are entertainers are low-bred and not fit for the position of wife of a noble. At best they can be concubines or playthings. Generally nobles want official wives to be noble, well-learned, and smart (hm… the little eunuch isn’t too bad on these qualities…)
Le Yao Yao is gonna get drunk at Ruyi tavern. She is gonna be super duper jealous.
Dear Gchan, I am sorry i have been reading the novel on another site, until i get to chapter 130 something and saw in the chapter your site. I didnt know of your site before.Thank you so much for the translation, i will donate first week of march( waiting for my paycheck :)) You do a great work!!
Thank you so much for letting me know, Sharon. I’m glad you’re reading on my site now! Thank you so much for your generosity. 🙂
I already dislike the cousin. Running after a guy that dislikes women, but so vain that she must think that everyone should want her. Maybe I am wrong but she gives that vibe for me.
Yeah, Le Yao Yao is gonna get jealous!
-_- This girl… I don’t like her already.
Don’t disturb the ship, plz. TT^TT
Thank you once again for the quality translation!
I hope the thieves stop already, you do this and we as readers get this for free so I honestly don’t understand those who go to the wrong sites. ;-;
You’d be surprised. I have seen comments on other aggregator sites saying I am immature and annoying because of my behaviour (posting google translate or not my actual chapter so the sites can’t steal). They only care about themselves and don’t give a shit about me.
Wahhhh? Egoists! As*holes! Damn those ppl sure make one wish to be in one of those novels >_> they’d be stereotypical xianxia cannon fodder villains -.-
jijijiji yo que tu no apostaria no baya a ser que te vean como estafadora al saber la verdad
buena chica no te mortifique por la basura(ladrones miserables de cloacas ) a fin de cuentas ellos son ellos y tu mi reina eres la que mandas. recuerda TU NO NECESITAS MORTIFICARTE POR ELLOS. (*^¬^*) QUE SEAN ELLOS LOS QUE SE ARRUGAN DE MORTIFICACIÓN POR TI*
Me da un cringe enorme leerte pero me da algo de felicidad ver que alguien escriba en español sin preocuparse XD
GRACIAS
Gurl you’re immature, that’s why you’re translating this shitty novel with tons of birds, good male meat and a shitty MC that doesn’t know how to take advantage of all this.
LOLLLL
Shitty novel? Not up to your standards?
Simple!
Quoting Zhang Ye : I bought a watch last year.
?
Le Yao Yao drops the oil soaked dumpling bag, making Nian Silan slip next chapter?
lol you and your crazy imagination. But she does slip LOLOLOOL
Thank you so much for the update. Its the best ever. I felt like this is a wonderful birthday present although you don’t know about it. Lol
feliz cumpleaños te deseo lo mejor del mundo y que lo disfrutes con tu familia
Mucho gracias.
Happy Birthday!!! I hope you have an awesome day!
It didn’t go well at first but it went ok afterwards. The best part was being able to read the update of this novel. Thank you for your wishes as well.
I’ll release Chapter 159 tomorrow! It gets even better… but the novel moves like a snail… so you have to be patient. I’m glad it was ok at the end.

lol I can’t read Spanish and google translate confused me. But thank you for your support?!? Haha. I think you’re telling me not to be upset over the aggregators. lol (overall)
XD well, not really, what he’s trying to say is that Sulan is going to hate Yao Yao for the rest of her life and is possible that Sulan die because of anger since she (Sulan) realize that hell’s king is drooling for Yao Yao. The first part is no really important XD. Sorry my English writing skills are useless, hope you could get the message ??
