Yet after the godly monk divined that the phoenix would descend, a change occurred to the situation.
Those elders from the four great clans wanted to use the phoenix to rule the the government, so they had the godly monk extrapolate where the phoenix would emerge.
The godly monk refused. To divulge the will of heaven like this would usually bring about calamity.
No one wanted to die.
If the elders didn't use the lives of all of the monks in the temple as hostage, the godly monk simply wouldn't have agreed to continue.
In the end, after three days and three nights, that godly monk finally calculated the female phoenix's birthplace, but it turned out that within that courtyard, there were two children.
The godly monk also couldn't be sure which of the children it was. Su Yan Mo then simply pushed her own daughter to the forefront and locked up that little vile spawn in the storehouse, not letting her out again.
For the sake of performing this divination, he was forced to age ten years and no longer wanted to mind worldly affairs.
However, Su Yan Mo still couldn't feel at ease. The only person who knew what really happened at the time was this godly monk. Only by eliminating him would her daughter become the world's only phoenix!
Consequently, she dispatched three waves of assassinations in succession, until that godly monk was finally forced to jump over a cliff.
Right now, that old monk should've already turned into a pile of bones.
Certainly, now that these two children had become older and older, it'd soon be time to determine who really had the constitution of a phoenix.
Of course, Su Yan Mo felt that only her daughter could be the true reincarnation of the phoenix.
But she also couldn't prevent something else unforeseen from happening...
Due to this incident involving entrapping a person, Retired Emperor's mood didn't appear very good at all, that's why even customs from previous years were cancelled.
Everybody returned to their room, and prepared to rest.
Of course, some people still hadn't forgotten to carry out their jobs.
At this moment, Head Abbot Fang Zhang was sitting in his room while rotating the Buddhist beads in his hands, the air pressure was a bit low. The novice monk standing outside didn't even dare to come in.
Before him sat Baili Jia Jue. Within his apathetic, demonically cold appearance, there was even a trace of an evil aura.
That kind of evil aura was impossible to suppress even though they were in a sacred temple. On the contrary, because of this kind of environment.
It made him appear even more pure and handsome, like an immortal devil.
Head Abbot Fang Zhang inclined his face as he gazed at the young man's two eyes.
While Baili Jia Jue also slightly lifted raised his chin, making his own gaze emit a kind of graceful indifference.
"I know that everytime you come here, you won't say anything, but..." Head Abbot Fang Zhang's unadorned finger pointed outside the window. "Someone is worried about you. Every year, the old person appears to come and pray for blessing on the surface, but in reality, what he's most concerned about is still you."
"What do you want me to say?" The unenthusiastic voice only echoed inside the room the two were in, imbued with a hint of coldness. Baili Jia Jue's slender fingers tapped on the wood chair's armrest, body leaning back, a long leg crossed over the other, looking straight at Head Abbot Fang Zhang. The curve at the corner of his mouth made a person think of a series of negative words, for example, haughty, cold and detached...
Head Abbot Fang Zhang closed his eyes and sighed, using his own fingers to massage his temples.
He dared to bet that all of today's cleansing to worship Buddha, as well as meditation and recitation of scripture had been wasted, because this person that he wanted to cure, completely didn't have any intention of listening to him talk.
For the past several years, Retired Emperor was like this every year, asking him to enlighten Third Prince.
However, Baili Jia Jue was a pool of stagnant water, a gorgeous deep pond of stagnant water.
When he smiled a smile that wasn't a smile, that's when he possessed the most potential for an attack.
When he looked up, it seemed as if he's capable of instantaneously prying into a person's inner thoughts. Conversing with this kind of person, was truly very tiring!
"For example, how has your state of mind changed recently." Head Abbot Fang Zhang was truly out of options. "You understand very well that you're like an armament that can explode at any time and kill people. You recently should've recovered your martial qi, right? Don't tell me that there's nothing you want to do?"
Baili Jia Jue smiled a bit. That kind of smiling expression seemed like a red spider lily opening on the road to hell, like an unstoppable wildfire. "Does killing people count?"
Head Abbot Fang Zhang almost spurt the tea he was drinking back out.
Because this stinky fellow was very possibly telling the truth!
Beside his killing people, what Retired Emperor feared most was that he'd find no other joy in life.
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, does this mean that his chances at deciding victory or defeat had increased!
Baili Jia Jue looked up behind him, his voice like cold, calm water. "You seem to be very excited."
"Cough, besides killing people, do you have nothing else you want to do?" Head Abbot Fang Zhang called to mind the main question that he wanted to ask this time. 'For example, you're no longer very young now, right? Haven't you thought of looking for a beautiful marriage? I heard your imperial grandfather say that you choose that oldest daughter from the Helian family, mm, today, she actually appears quick-witted and intelligent, however, haven't you always liked white and clean, easy to bully bunny rabbits, why has your taste changed?"
Actually, Head Abbot Fang Zhang especially wanted to ask this, are you thinking of using her.
Yet a curve slowly drew open on Baili Jia Jue's mouth, Head Abbot Fang Zhang's scalp was numbed by his grin.
He then spoke with a voice that didn't undulate one bit. "A good prey, how's that related to how it looks?"
Prey?
A question mark covered Head Abbot Fang Zhang's entire face, but this was a good response! It truly was was good response! When they sat together in the past, if he didn't shut his mouth, he was spouting poison! (hurling insults)
Answering his question so normally, like he's doing today, was truly too rarely seen!
Head Abbot Fang Zhang wrote at a tremendous speed, almost moved to tears!
Being able to obtain the tiniest bit of information about what this stinky fellow's thinking, was truly too, too not easy!
"Today, I'm in a good mood, I can talk chat with you more." Baili Jia Jue's fingertips braced his chin, covered from head to toe with an air of arrogance and aloofness.
Head Abbot Fang Zhang was startled and immediately looked up, a little bit not daring to believe what he himself had heard!
Wait a minute...these words coming from Third Prince should probably be interpreted as the opposite!
On the corners of Baili Jia Jue's mouth hung a smiling expression, his tone was level, if he wanted, he could almost make the listener feel like they're bathing in a spring wind. "If I told you that I've always wanted to obtain a person, yet until now, she's still out of reach, what kind of advice will Fang Zhang give me."
"In this world is there still someone you can't have?"
Head Abbot Fang Zhang was shocked, how strong must that person be and how much willpower must she have, to be able to refuse this face that could eat both females and males alive!
Baili Jia Jue appeared rather distressed, however the words he spoke didn't contain the slightest bit of emotion. "That's why I'm thinking, how about I remove her claws and directly kidnap her."
Head Abbot Fang Zhang: "..."
Chapter 196 - His Highness’ Inclinations
When all is said and done, a person was conside
red a house pet and was even to be kidnapped? !
It'd be a wonder if the other party was willing!
Head Abbot Fang Zhang pretended to seriously cough twice. "It's better that you don't do this."
"Hm?" Baili Jia Jue inclined his face over and half opened his eyes to look at Abbot Fang Zhang, his expression was as if he's asking why.
Head Abbot Fang Zhang put down the brush pen in his hand. "First of all, the one you like is a person, right? Every person has feelings. Let's put it this way, if somebody kidnapped you, what would you do? You certainly won't be happy!"
"I wouldn't be unhappy, I only need to kill those people, why wouldn't I be unhappy?" Baili Jia Jue calmly sipped a mouthful of tea, curved his lips into half of a smile, as if what he's saying wasn't any big deal.
Abbot Fang Zhang really wanted to drag him by the collar and rage. Did you think that all the people in the world were as abnormal as you! ! !
"However, you're right, I can't kidnap her." Baili Jia Jue knit his long eyebrows, appearing as if this problem was giving him a headache.
Abbot Fang Zhang was flabbergasted. Just as he was thinking about how this stinky fellow suddenly became enlightened, he again heard him say. "It's a bit of a pity to snap off that pair of claws like that, as long as she peacefully stay at my side, I won't necessarily have to kidnap her."
"Cough, what kind of reasoning is that..." Abbot Fang Zhang had been thinking that he'd almost been brainwashed, he unexpectedly was left speechless by this stinky fellow's words!
Baili Jia Jue took a glance at him, the curve of his neck was perfectly graceful and the tone of his voice suddenly became colder. "What's too bad is that she doesn't know how to be still."
The last statement, was spoken very fiercely by Baili Jia Jue, the tone of his voice brimming with feeling, yet without a trace of warmth. Echoing throughout the space in the room, it could only be felt that even the air all around was s.u.c.k.e.d out by him.
Head Abbot Fang Zhang's whole body abruptly felt cold. "Then what do you plan to do?"
"Lock her up." Baili Jia Jue changed his sitting position, as gracefully as before. "After a few days, she can then become all mine."
Having heard this, Head Abbot Fang Zhang opened his eyes wide, stunned. "Are you talking about that eldest daughter of the Helian family?"
Baili Jia Jue faintly uttered 'mm hm'.
Abbot Fang Zhang coughed even more fiercely, mommy, are you really choosing a consort, you're basically inflicting torture!
How in the world did that eldest daughter of the Helian family provoke this king of hell, to have him give her such a hard time!
"It's not too good to do this." Abbot Fang Zhang drank a mouthful of tea, as said probingly. "That girl previously had her marriage annulled. That's already pitiful enough, and now you want to lock her up, how did she provoke you, that you treat her like this."
Baili Jia Jue's fingers stiffened, thing lips moving, voice became softer like he hadn't thought of it before. "I'm nothing in her eyes."
"What?" Head Abbot Fang Zhang didn't hear clearly. His ears perked up and asked again. "It's fine if you don't want to say it, truly evil, do such evil." Abbot Fang Zhang put his hands together in prayer and recited 'amitabha Buddha be praised'.
Baili Jia Jue laughed, the corners of his mouth curved bewitchingly. "Do evil? I already said enough, whatever thing that I want, if humans obstruct me, I'll kill humans, if Buddha obstructs me, I'll kill Buddha, is there an exception? If something is to be blamed, then blame that she shouldn't have provoked me, after provoking me, she even wanted to withdraw. Is there ever such an easy thing in the world."
"You...you thinking of destroying her?" Abbot Fang Zhang's voice also shivered along. He didn't know if it's a misperception, at this moment, he seemed to actually perceive a devil's character in Baili Jia Jue. It's just this kind of devil's character was too perfect, as if a god was standing in the shadows, sehn he fell into formless heavens, his demonic charms caused people to be fascinated and...timid.
Baili Jia Jue smiled bewitchingly. "No, why would I want to destroy her, this prey, just hearing her name causes me to be feverish from head to toe. I only want to keep her under my body and fiercely...want her."
Once he spoke the last two words, Baili Jia Jue's lips curved, the expression of suppressed d.e.s.i.r.e on his face carried a hint of s.e.x.u.a.lity that could mesmerize all men and women.
"Are you joking!" Abbot Fang Zhang suddenly jumped up, at last, finally realized that something's not right. This, my god, wasn't this clearly a symptom of a young boy's first awakening of love?
But first awakening of love?
Abbot Fang Zhang took another glance at Baili Jia Jue. These four words truly didn't suit Third Prince!
What's more, who's first love began in such a savage way? !
What's up with kidnapping, and locking her up, really, enough of that.
Baili Jia Jue raised his brows again for awhile. "However, she apparently doesn't want me to do that at all."
"Women needs to be treated a bit more gently." After Abbot Fang Zhang finished speaking, he felt quite helpless. Why was it that a Buddhist monk like him and a prince were at a temple talking about his kind of topic!
Didn't this stinky fellow have a bed maid to serve him! Were the shadow guards at the imperial palace merely dead wood? Didn't they know to go bring their master a girl, and have him study it well!
However, he'd always thought that this stinky fellow simply didn't have this demand.
After all, he heard that the number of women he'd thrown out of his palace from within his bedsheets, if there weren't ten, then there were nine.
Each one was handled as if throwing away trash.
After Retired Emperor used this method of sending women to this stinky youngster's side several times, he didn't do it anymore.
Because what he's afraid of was that if news about it spread, there might be people who say that Third Prince couldn't perform!
Head Abbot Fang Zhang breathed a deep sigh. He'd also seen the way this stinky fellow treats women, courteous, certainly courteous, but also so apathetic as to be a bit heartless, simply no d.e.s.i.r.es, no demands, even more vegetarian than this monk!
Abbot Fang Zhang propped his forehead, and started to get a headache thinking about it. When all was said and done, was this a good thing or a bad thing.
The good thing was that this stinky fellow finally developed a hint of human emotions.
What's bad was, wasn't his d.e.s.i.r.e to dominate a bit too strong?
What's more, he even only viewed Wei Wei as a prey...
"This has nothing to do with being gentle or not gentle, she resisted me." Baili Jia Jue absent-mindedly interrupted Abbot Fang Zhang's contemplation, the light in his eyes lingering in depth.
"You've tried it?" Abbot Fang Zhang's eyes opened wide into two round black gr.a.p.es, this, this stinky fellow shouldn't be taking advantage of this trip to do something to someone, right?
Baili Jia Jue lazily looked up. "Is this any of your business?"
"No, aren't I helping you analyze the situation." Abbot Fang Zhang sported an upstanding face.
Baili Jia Jue indifferently stood up. "No need."
Head Abbot Fang Zhang: ... how's this considered chatting, it's enough to make a person feel stifled to death, alright? ! ! !
"Maybe she resisted you, because there's someone else in her heart?" Abbot Fang Zhang truly believed this. After all, most of the time, women wanted to maintain their chastity for the sake of their special someone. Moreover, Wei Wei's marriage had just been annulled. Right now, she still hadn't forgotten Murong Chang Feng and so on, these were all possible.
Chapter 197 - His Highness ticking off Wei Wei
Having heard what was said, Baili Jia Jue's retreating steps paused, his eyes as pitch black as night completely opened. That feeling of indifference along with the smile yet not a smile at the corners of his mouth gradually disappeared.
He furrow
ed his brows as if reflecting upon something, when his black fine hair flowed down, it was just enough to hide his pair of chilly pupils, demonic coldness and an aura of evil emerged on the corners of his eyes at the same time. There's also a feeling that's difficult to express, like a sharp thorn that could prick into a person's heart.
Head Abbot Fang Zhang is thinking that the girl who'd become stinky youngster's girlfriend was really pitiful.
He didn't know that the instant the wood door closed, concealed under Baili Jia Jue's sleeves, his hands grasped a little tightly, a ruthless aura lingered around him, becoming stronger and stronger. The bluestone pathway under his feet also was affected by his ruthless aura, continuously producing 'kacha...kacha' sounds, as if in the next moment, they would all fall apart.
He entered the boundless night. When the wind blew, 'Tang… Tang', this last name continually poured into his ear.
After that, he turned and walked towards a courtyard that he should not be going to.
It's nighttime, the rain had just stopped. The early summer winds blew through the bamboo forest. Blowing against the face, it gave a person and indescribable comfortable feeling.
Wei Wei lifted her head while sitting in a wooden tub that's half the height of a person and immersed in the comfortable feeling of the warm water.
Normally, in this kind of situation,Wei Wei would have Yuan Ming stay in the celestial boundary space. As for Little White, he's still undergoing the tribulation, Wei Wei simply had it enter a dormant state, until the tribulation passes, then she would wake it up, In order for it to avoid lightning strikes when it came out.
She was the only person inside the room. Probably because they were in the mountains, the air appeared more pure at night, the 'swish swish' sound of leaves moving in the bamboo forest, extremely serene, made Wei Wei forget that due to obtaining the incense wood, after kneeling for 199 steps, she received minor injuries.
That wound was originally not big, but was a little inconvenient when bathing. The wound on her knee, when soaked in the water, became a little painful.
