Chapter 498: Enticing Incubus
That night, everyone at Marquis Ningyuan’s Mansion heard screams echoing one after another.
The sound seemed to be coming from Lai Manting’s courtyard, yet no one dared to investigate what was happening.

Deep into the night, under a bright moon and sparse stars.
Seeing Ye Yiheng planning to spend the night at the Prince Mansion, Leng Yu Yan felt somewhat uneasy.
Although she had finished washing up and it was time to go to bed, she was still sitting by the window in her outer robe, reading a book. Ye Yiheng’s eyebrows slightly furrowed as he walked over slowly, "Aren’t you sleeping yet?"
"Mmm, my brothers are all military generals and don’t have to take the Imperial Examination. The Prince Zhenbei Mansion has never had anyone participate in the examination, so many people say that Prince Zhenbei Mansion only produces martial artists. Now that I have a chance to change the public’s opinion, I should study harder," she said.
Leng Yu Yan’s gaze stayed on the book, not looking at the person beside her.
"But you once said that there’s no need to read so many books," he said, puzzled.
"Now that I’m reviewing my lessons, I’ve realized there are many commentaries that I need to read for this... era, so I need to read more," she replied.
She slowly turned a page to alleviate the awkwardness of her near slip of the tongue.
Ye Yiheng sat down beside her, "Yanyan, your words are quite odd."
