Only then did that maid reacted and wondered what wrong she had committed. The blood on her face drained in a flash and her mind was in a mess.
One of her Young Miss' taboo was having someone be more beautiful than her.
In front of her master, she also could not show off the tiniest bit of prettiness!
Consequently, that servant girl immediately shook her head and endured the pain as she replied. "Can be said to be good-looking, however, when compared to My Lady, she's merely a clump of mud under your foot, without the slightest bit of character worth mentioning."
"This servant girl, contrary to what I'd expected, you actually know how to talk." Helian Jiao Er released her hand, and again glanced back while saying in a cold voice. "She dared to be mentioned on equal terms with me based on that kind of clothes, ridiculous!"
Having heard that, the servant girl hurriedly agreed. "Right. What My Lady said is right. An appearance like hers is not even worthy of carrying My Lady's shoes."
"That's enough. I'm fed up from hearing praises like yours." Helian Jiao Er's tone was cold as she blew on her own fingertips. The light in her eyes became gloomier as she said, "First return to the academy. Prior to leaving, I want to think of a way to prevent that s.l.u.t from returning to the academy."
She really didn't know where Wei Wei had disappeared to, but she could make it so that once she left, she'd have no way of returning!
Helian Jiao Er smiled faintly as she dropped her head. The poisonous thoughts within the depths of her eyes were more terrifying than they were at any other time...
However, who in the world was that girl who just passed by? If a country bumpkin, then how could she have such fair and crystal clear skin?
Every time that early summer arrived, what she expended the most effort on was precisely on how she could prevent herself from being tanned. She only used the best pearl powders and sandalwood, in order to protect the appearance she currently had.
But that country bumpkin looked as if, compared to her, she was clearly even more...
Helian Jiao Er gripped the handkerchief in her hand, and after that, coldly laughed in her mind. Even if that appearance was even more stunning, so what, her family background was still not good. Even if she got married, she could be nothing more than a concubine trash.
Thinking this way, Helian Jiao Er's mind then regained its equilibrium. The face of the palm of her hand then regained its former daintiness. With a muslin head covering worn over her face, finally, she was supported by her servant girl's arm into the soft sedan chair.
However, she didn't know at all that the person she wanted to scheme against was none other than the country bumpkin who had just passed her by...
"Isn't it great, this time, that younger sister of yours is also going to participate in the armament convention. I wonder what kind of shady move she's going to make at that time." The tone of Yuan Ming's voice was always dense with an attitude of someone watching a good show. It probably had something to do with his identity. A devil's emissary liked to cause a bit of chaos to appear to begin with. What's more, this kind of 'delectable' chaos that was delivered to the doorstep, was something he liked even more.
The white cat appeared quietly cold all along, as if it was contemplating something while gazing at the not too distant crowd of people. Its voice was faint. "Wei Wei you can't let that girl obtain that armament."
Yuan Ming lazily glanced at it. "It's nothing more than an armament."
"You don't understand." The white cat totally proudly raised its chin up. "That's not an ordinary armament. When I was in Spirit Forest, I heard my imperial father and empress mother talking about it before. Everybody thought that the best material for making armaments in this magical land ought to be found within Spirit Forest, however, many years ago, these materials were secretly moved to another place. That place is exactly the place that Young Master Wu Shuang was born in, Sun City. Generally speaking, the materials which haven't been formed into armaments will give off an intriguing kind of magnetic force. This is also the reason why armaments are different from ordinary weapons. Spirit beasts like us are not affected, however, if humans were to be in contact with those materials, then they will certainly suffer some degree of harm from them. That Young Master Wu Shuang's health is not good. I reckon this must be because he stayed together with these materials since childhood. The armament that he currently is making is probably going to be his last one. It can be said to be perfection within perfection. Not only the materials used, even the appearance, function and performance, makes it the best magic weapon in this entire Divine Continent. A person who possesses it, is going to have the power to split mountains!"
After Yuan Ming heard that, that handsome, demonically charming face also became contemplative
Yet Wei Wei only smiled, neither in a servile nor overbearing fashion. "That armament and the Wing of the Night God that I made last time, which one is better."
The white cat distractedly replied. "About the same." Paused a bit, then added, "You already gave Wing of the Night God away. It's meaningless to compare them."
"I just wanted to know between me and that Young Master Wu Shuang, who's better." Wei Wei arched her thin lips, within her slender and long eyes a trace of light shined. "I won't allow anyone to steal my business at the armament convention."
The corners of the white cat's mouth twitched a bit. "In the end, it's still all about money for you!"
"Of course it's about money." Wei Wei looked at the white cat with an even more innocent expression and sighed. "If it weren't for money, would I go as far as to struggle so much disguising myself, hiding east, taking cover west. In addition, resisting Third Prince's charms and attraction took a lot of guts, too."
White cat: ...
Chapter 107 - Just Want to Catch
"Following this, where do we go to leave the city?" Yuan Ming lead their conversation back to the main topic.
Helian Wei Wei thought about it for a moment, and shook her head before replying. "We can't just leave the city like this."
"Why not? Didn't you say that after you've restored your original appearance, you wouldn't be recognized by people?" Yuan Ming's brows jumped.
Wei Wei rubbed her chin. "It's true I wouldn't be recognized by people, however, it's too attention grabbing, unless there's someone who can leave with me."
"Do you mean that we should go find Hei family's second young master?" The white cat lazily stretched its own body. "Then let's hurry and go. This royal one is hungry."
Wei Wei 'mm hm'd once, and was just stepping out when she returned again. "What do you guys think, based on Third Highness' personality, will he let me off this easily?"
The white cat and Yuan Ming glanced at each other, flung back their heads and replied in unison. "No comment."
"I feel that he holds tightly to a grudge." Wei Wei's fingers tapped on the wood comb. "But people do say, too, that he treats everything with indifference, neither cold nor hot. What's most important is that he even withdrew the imperial guards within the capital..."
Yuan Ming didn't participate in this conversation. He only crossed his hands in front of his c.h.e.s.t as he looked at Wei Wei. The smile at the corners of his mouth had never subsided.
A devil's emissary was different from a spirit beast.
The latter was unconditionally loyal.
But the former, however, needed to depend on its contractor's determined commands much more. If its master didn't possess enough fierceness or didn't have enough resolution, then its fighting strength would also accordingly decrease.
Once its master didn't have enough confidence, then it may break away from the contract at any time, recovering its freedom...
"At this time, we should..." The white cat had just opened its mouth.
Wei Wei just snatched the words away. "At this time, we should follow our own instincts and leave."
"Then why were you analyzing so much for!" The white cat's fur exploded.
Wei Wei stroked and stroked it, continuing to sigh. "Be good. I was just being democratic in guiding you guys to express your opinions, but in fact, this proved that democracy doesn't suit me much, sigh!"
The white cat: [...That's enough, will somebody drag this girl away!]
"Let's not go to Hei Ze's side." Wei Wei stood up straight, absolutely beautiful complexion under the first rays of morning sun, scattering and emitting a faint radiance. "Let's separately think of a way!"
Yuan Ming watched the young girl standing against the light and smiled enchantingly as he concealed his body and slipped into the ancient book.
The white cat, however, knitted its brows and jumped on the young girl's shoulder, its voice clear and cold. "So you don't believe that Third Prince would so easily let you off?"
"Do you know that when humans are catching a prey, they'll first choose a time to make their move?" Wei Wei glanced to the side at the white cat. "It's when the prey is eating, because at that time, the preys are most relaxed and don't put up their guard. The hunter will always arrange food around the trap and create the kind of ambiance that makes them comfortable." After saying that, she lifted her head up and laughed softly. "If Third Prince wants to be a hunter, he must also ask me if I'm willing to be the prey or not."
The fog scattered. The sky towards the east could be considered to be bright overall now.
When Shadow saw the shadow of the person sitting in the wood chair, he became slightly stunned. Did His Highness not sleep for the entire night?
The sound of movement was heard as a single hand propped up one side of Baili Jia Jue's face while he looked up indolently, the pair of ice-cold eyes was as sober as a devil's, and spoke in a tone as dull and indifferent as before. "How's it going?"
"Reporting to His Highness, there hasn't been anyone who approached Young Master Hei." Shadow respectfully and reverently dropped his eyes, reporting without missing a beat. "However, what's strange is that, Young Master Hei's carriage had always never left the city, and is instead, stopping at an inn, as if he's waiting for someone."
Baili Jia Jue listened. His slender fingertips briefly touched the tabletop. This apparently was the gesture he commonly used when he's pondering, within the gracefulness was a feeling of self-restraint while he's devising plans. "Don't need to watch anymore. She won't go and look for Hei Ze again."
Again don't need to? More and more, Shadow was unable to see through his master's series of moves. However, in order to insure their success, just in case, he still felt that they needed to keep watch. "Maybe the time is not right yet. Could that Miss Helian possibly be waiting for us to withdraw the troops? After all, previously, she was even playing this game, creating a diversion in the east while attacking the west."
"Unlikely." Once the teacup in Baili Jia Jue's hand was pushed away, his thin lips spoke demonically coldly. "That little fox had never fought a battle without being sure of the outcome. No matter how many baits we laid out, once she sensed any danger, her first reaction will be to keep away from it. It's been one night and she hasn't appeared around Hei Ze, this showed that she has already guessed a little something."
Such as, within this game, who is the hunter and who is the prey.
Only...
The prey that he chose this time was particularly disobedient. Baili Jia Jue's hand that's pinching the teacup's handle tightened, so tightly that even the surrounding atmosphere also became colder."
"A little something?" Shadow totally felt that his master's words was a bit difficult for a person to fathom.
Baili Jia Jue didn't explain further and only continued to ask in an indifferent tone. "Apart from what's happening with Hei Ze, did anything else happen within the city."
"Actually, there wasn't anything else, just that recently, a goddess appeared. She's even somewhat more beautiful than that number one beauty." The more Shadow spoke, the softer his voice became, because His Highness had never been interested in these kinds of things.
Baili Jia Jue first laughed coldly once, then closed his eyes and planned to continue resting.
Shadow knew it was going to turn out this way, touched his nose a couple of times and planned on leaving.
Yet he saw Baili Jia Jue suddenly open his pair of eyes. Those eyes shined so much they almost scared people.
No wonder she could not be found at any of the city gates.
How could he have forgotten that originally, she even dr.a.p.ed a layer of 'skin' on her body.
It's just that, this kind of feeling from having other people peeping at his prey, actually doesn't allow a person to be particularly happy!
Shadow still didn't know what's going on with his master.
At his end, Baili Jia Jue already stood up and smiled a smile that was not a smile while his long sleeves rolled, sending forth a burst of bone-chilling cold wind. "Go prepare the horse carriage. We immediately head for the city."
"Yes." As an accomplished and well-trained shadow, he could accept an order at any time without batting an eyelid. Just like how he's doing it right now, though he basically didn't understand why His Highness would suddenly decide to go into the city.
"Dispatch all the shadow troops." Baili Jia Jue's voice once more echoed, more ice-cold than at any other time, calmly pausing after each word, as if each word was moving along the edges of his lips. "Have that woman as beautiful as a goddess returned here."
This time, Shadow really blanked out a bit as his eyes blinked. What's His Highness thinking?
Not catching that Miss Helian and catching the goddess instead?
Wei Wei also wanted to know, what the heck was going on! ! !
Originally, everything was going fine. She'd even planned to use some money to employ a servant girl and pretend to leave the city. But, how did so many shadow guards suddenly appear, and purposefully chose beautiful girls to target. This forced her to become a little mouse on a big street, hiding to the left, dodging to the right, cutting a very sorry figure!
"Girl, they are coming." The white cat clearly and coldly said as it stood on top of a high rooftop. It could see a horse carriage belonging to the imperial household in the distance. It lowered its head, and looked into Wei Wei's eyes, within the depths of its eyes, there surfaced a worry that had never been there before...
Chapter 108 - His Highness Arrives
On the big street.
A tall horse carriage carrying a single person slowly moved with countless cavalry black clothed bodyguards both in front and behind. Their noble aura was threatening.
Helian Wei Wei's figure turned, her back pressed against the wall as she faced the white cat and gestured. Her intent was to have it first enter the Dark Illusionary Space.
She turned her body to one side, facing the direction of the horse carriage and took a glimpse when her back slightly jolted.
It seemed that this Third Prince still truly insisted on catching her no matter what.
Unexpectedly, he'd come personally!
"What should we do now?" Yuan Ming's eyes rarely narrowed. He also felt that this Third Prince was very difficult to deal with.
Wei Wei analyzed the situation. "We can't meet force with force."
"Front and back, left and right, all reacting to qi. Girl, do you know what this means?" Yuan Ming looked up as the tone of his voice became colder. "This means that we have already been surrounded. He knows that you're in this vicinity."
"Withdraw first." Wei Wei's fingers tightened. Her figure beautifully scuttled into another alley.
Yuan Ming looked at the alley that seemed to be blocked, and blew a long whistle. "It looks like there's no escape." That guy was indeed ruthless enough, not even giving them the opportunity to use the small alleys.
Wei Wei's eyes submerged deeply, raised her hand, and was just about to use her own qi, when she heard a burst of suppressed light coughs.
"Uncle Liang, what's happened outside?" That voice was like water, echoing in the noisy street, and surprisingly seemed very
much like it could placate any commotion.
Wei Wei's ears moved then pulled Yuan Ming and ducked to the side while she watched the horse carriage which had stopped at the mouth of the alley. Within her eyes streaked a bright light.
That horse carriage didn't look like much on the surface, pure white in color and was actually completely plain, without any bit of unnecessary ornamentation. This kind of horse carriage was commonly seen at the capital.
It could be bought by any random merchant with some money, unlike Hei Ze's, that rich young master, whose carriage roof was brushed with the most luxurious gold color.
However, what Wei Wei cared about was that black handsome horse pulling the carriage.
Even though it already tried very hard to restrain its own wings, and its master also very diligently gave it a special saddle.
Yet these things still couldn't trick Wei Wei's eyes. That horse wasn't an ordinary horse.
"It's a black flying horse!" Even Yuan Ming, when he saw that horse carriage, his face also faintly revealed astonishment. According to common sense, by rights, it should be hiding within Spirit Forest. How could it be willing to be tamed by humans.
Wei Wei arched her thin lips and smiled incomparably wickedly as she looked at Yuan Ming.
In front of the horse carriage, a middle aged servant jumped down from the shaft of the cart. He faced the carriage's curtain and bowed in respect, his benevolent face was completely deferential. "Young Master, it's the royal family's imperial guard. It seems they are searching for someone..."
"The royal family's imperial guard?" A pale pair of overly skinny hands, yet containing an indescribable strength, extended outside from within the horse carriage and moved the curtains aside. The long robe as white as elephant tusks blew to and fro lightly in the wind. A muffled cough sounded out. "It's fine to just respond politely. Don't cause conflicts."
