"No! I can't give up so easily!" Qing Meng screamed in despair, a voice that seemed to pierce the sky. The icy cold water pierced her body like a sharp sword, but the chill miraculously cleared her mind instantly.

She gritted her teeth, endured the trembling of her body and the shame, and swam desperately towards the direction where the white porcelain fruit plate had fallen into the water!

Standing by the pool, Li Xingyun quietly observed Qing Meng's every move, his deep eyes like a calm lake, without a single ripple. He always displayed immense tenderness and consideration towards those close to him; however, when facing his enemies, he would never show even the slightest bit of pity or mercy simply because of their beautiful appearance!

Qing Meng was struggling to wade through the icy water, each stroke requiring immense effort. Her once pristine, cyan palace dress was already completely soaked. It clung tightly to her graceful figure like a layer of transparent gauze, revealing her exquisite, voluptuous curves to Li Xingyun without reservation.

Although Qing Meng was no ordinary palace maid and possessed considerable cultivation, she did not dare to reveal her strength in front of Li Xingyun. Therefore, she could only feign a clumsy and embarrassed appearance, struggling to reach out with both hands to salvage the fruit bowl that had sunk to the bottom of the pond.

"Huh... Huh... Prince! The fruit plate has been retrieved!" Qing Meng came jogging over, leaving a wet footprint on the ground with every step, and stopped in front of Li Xingyun, panting.

Her hair was wet by the pool water and stuck to both sides of her cheeks in a mess, but she didn't bother to tidy it up. She just hurriedly raised the white porcelain fruit plate in her hand high and handed it to Li Xingyun.

Li Xingyun raised his eyes slightly, glanced at Qing Meng indifferently, then casually stretched out a hand and casually grabbed the fruit plate from Qing Meng's hand. However, something unexpected happened - he actually threw the fruit plate back as if it were a piece of worthless garbage!

With a "splash" sound, the fruit plate that Qing Meng had just picked up with great difficulty fell into the pool again, splashing water.

"You!" Qing Meng's eyes widened, staring at Li Xingyun in disbelief. She had never imagined that the fruit plate she had worked so hard to retrieve would be treated this way. Her anger instantly ignited, blazing fiercely. Her eyes were wide open, as if they were about to burst into flames.

Facing Qing Meng's anger, Li Xingyun remained indifferent. He slowly turned his head, looked directly into Qing Meng's eyes, and said lightly: "It's dirty, I don't want it anymore!"

"I don't like your tone!"

These words struck Qing Meng like a bolt from the blue, piercing her mind. In an instant, all her anger vanished, replaced by a deep sense of fear and awe. She suddenly realized that the man standing before her was no ordinary man, but the supremely noble and powerful King Qin!

With a plop, Qing Meng's legs seemed to have lost their strength and she fell to her knees. At the same time, a drop of cold sweat slid down her pretty face and mixed with the pool water that had previously stained her face.

"Your servant... Your servant knows your fault! Please... Please, Your Highness, forgive me!" Qing Meng's voice trembled, like a candle in the wind. Her petite body trembled uncontrollably, and she looked terrified and frightened.

After that painful lesson, Qing Meng no longer dared to utter words like "Please punish me, Your Majesty!" She knew that Prince Li Xingyun was a man of his word, and if she dared to challenge his authority, she would be severely punished. Qing Meng shuddered at the thought.

"Oh? You realized your mistake so quickly?"

Li Xingyun's lips curled up slightly, a hint of a smile. He slowly turned sideways, his gaze like two cold arrows shooting straight at the trembling Qing Meng beside him. At the same time, his broad, powerful palm slowly reached out, gently removing the few messy strands of hair stuck to Qing Meng's pretty face.

Feeling Li Xingyun's movements, Qing Meng's body trembled violently. Her eyes, which were originally tightly closed, closed even tighter now. She didn't even dare to breathe.

She silently prayed that Li Xingyun would let her go. After all, when she saw Li Xingyun reaching out, she thought he would mercilessly slap her. However, what she never expected was that Li Xingyun simply gently removed the annoying stray hairs for her. With this, Qing Meng's heart finally settled down a little.

At this moment, Li Xingyun suddenly lowered his head, and his eyes inadvertently fell on the two snow-white, round and plump breasts on Qing Meng's chest.

Without any thought, Li Xingyun's powerful hand moved downwards without hesitation, and accurately grasped the two towering Jade Maiden Peaks!

"Ah..." Qing Meng screamed in surprise, and her first reaction was to step back and dodge, but as soon as this thought arose, she suppressed it instantly!

You can't hide! If you hide... you'll die!

Qing Meng suppressed the shame and anger in her heart and spoke hastily: "Please, Your Majesty...ah...Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Before he could finish his words, Qing Meng exclaimed again.

Li Xingyun disliked the water stains on her dress and chose to have direct contact!

"Forgive you? I haven't punished you, how can I forgive you?" Li Xingyun asked jokingly with a wicked smile.

Qing Meng didn't say anything, but her body kept shaking. She seemed to be very scared, or very nervous. Her face was red and her head was lowered!

"Cough cough..." Just when Qing Meng was feeling a little lost, a light cough sounded from behind him.

It instantly awakened Qing Meng's consciousness, making her feel like she had survived a disaster!

Someone is coming. Li Xingyun can’t be still dishonest, right?

This is what Qingmeng thought!

"Well, what's the matter?" Li Xingyun raised his head slightly, moved his gaze away from Qing Meng's face in front of him, glanced at Are who was standing in front of him, and asked softly.

He thought to himself that Arei had just left. If it wasn't something important, he would definitely not have come back in such a hurry to interrupt the punishment he was inflicting on Qing Meng.

Arei's face flushed slightly, and she seemed a little embarrassed. She quickly turned her head to the side, avoiding the uncomfortable scene, and then reported in a slightly nervous voice: "Your Highness... there is news from the city!"
