She could not have said that she was accustomed to benefiting at others' expense. It was as if Helian Wei Wei thought of something as she frowned and said, "So, does that mean that your daily expenses would have to go through me?"
"Yup." Baili Jia Jue replied lightly as he opened his collar.
Helian Wei Wei smiled as she said, "That's great." If His Highness were to misbehave, she would learn from him and only allow him to eat vegetables.
"You do not need the prince to remind you that even if I have no money, I would not end up with no meat to feast on." Baili Jia Jue threw his shirt aside and looked at her playfully as he continued, "I am still in charge of what we eat today or what we eat tomorrow. The Imperial Kitchen still listens to me. The money is under your control, but you are mine to control. Come over."
Helian Wei Wei chose not to respond.
She was forcefully carried by him into his arms. One of his arms was on the side of her body while the other was busy undressing her nightgown. His slender fingers were slightly cool. "Do you want to be on top or under today, hmm?"
"Neither." Helian Wei Wei planted her face on his inner garment as she said, "I want to go to bed, my eyes are hurting."
Baili Jia Jue stopped his motion at once as he frowned and asked, "What happened to your eyes?"
"My eyes are tired." Helian Wei Wei was looking for an excuse.
Baili Jia Jue chose not to let her sleep. Instead, he pulled her over to him as he grabbed a bottle of Tianshan snow lotus powder and scattered it on her eyelids.
As she picked up the scent of the powder, Helian Wei Wei knew it was Tianshan snow lotus. The fragrance fused lightly with the scent of the man.
"You are so rich. Even your eye drops are made out of Tianshan snow lotus." It was apparent that his wealth was extraordinary and special care was given to his body.
With an attempt to smile, Baili Jia Jue looked at her and uttered, "What are you going on about?"
"Not much. I was just wondering if your family is aware of how wealthy you are." Helian Wei Wei yawned absent-mindedly. She frowned as she mindlessly thought of the dream.
As he curled up the corner of his mouth, Baili Jia Jue said leisurely. "Of course, my assets are all controlled by my wife. Are you not certain about that?"
Who knew that she would neither be able to outspeak him nor extract any information. Hence, she closed her eyes with a calm expression and scr.a.p.ed the pillow every now and then.
Baili Jia Jue pulled her into his arms as he patted her back with his left hand. With a pleasant and deep voice, he then said, "Are you upset that I have more money than you do?" After all, she did mention that she wanted to become the wealthiest person in the War Dragon Empire. Though hardly any ordinary person would regard that aim as a lifelong goal, it was clear that this lady here was part of the minuscule population.
"What do you mean your money. That's mine." Helian Wei Wei became full of life as she said, "What is yours is also mine, do you understand?"
With a charming smile, Baili Jia Jue placed his hand behind his head and affirmed, "Understood, boss."
"Not bad." Helian Wei Wei felt satisfied as her smile widened gradually.
As he arched his brows, Baili Jia Jue asked, "What about yours?"
"Mine? Of course, they are still mine." Helian Wei Wei narrowed her eyes and placed her head on his c.h.e.s.t.
Baili Jia Jue smiled lightly, "After all the talk about not scratching. You are essentially a bandit."
"Well, you could still request for a return." Helian Wei Wei lowered her voice. The final parts of the sentence were spoken in an obscure voice.
Baili Jia Jue squinted his phoenix eyes that were exquisitely profound. It was as if his violent tendencies were rushing out as he said with a threatening accent, "Do not let me hear the word return again, or else…"
Chapter 542 - The Malevolent Prince Against Wei Wei
"Or you would break my legs. You have repeated the phrase at least ten times now." Helian Wei Wei was unconcerned at all. Her eyes were closed, hands still on Baili Jia Jue's waist. It was as if she would fear nothing and no one.
Baili Jia Jue smiled as he said, "Whoever said anything about me breaking your legs?"
"What else would you want to do to me?" Helian Wei Wei yawned.
Baili Jia Jue leaned over. He positioned his lips right behind her ears, "I want you… to be unable to get down from the bed."
Unable to get down from the bed? Helian Wei Wei paused her yawning motion at once. She tried to flee before she even took a glance at the handsome face.
She then realized that she could not escape. In fact, she was the one who was holding him in her arms. She did so subconsciously as she was aroused by his alluring scent.
All he had to do was put his hand behind her back and she would be locked in her position.
"Why not we have a duel?" Helian Wei Wei moved as her eyes glimmered. She was trying to change the topic, "Think about it, we are the best fighters in the capital. Yet we have never been in a fight before. Do you not feel that it is a pity?"
Baili Jia Jue looked at her up and down, "Skilled fighter? You?"
What did that expression imply?! Helian Wei Wei thought to herself.
Initially, Helian Wei Wei was not particularly interested to fight. Now that he was looking at her like that, she had to!
"Sure, you could make me fight you." Baili Jia Jue pressed his lips on hers. "I won, you can be the initiator tonight."
At first, Helian Wei Wei had no intention of agreeing with it. However, her eyes lit up momentarily afterward and she eventually agreed to the deal. "Deal, but you will have to allow me to tie you up if I win!" After being tied up for so many times, she had to get her revenge!
"Tie me up?" Baili Jia Jie curled the corner of his lips as he slowly answered, "Okay."
Helian Wei Wei uttered after some thoughts, "You cannot bring the Fire Qilin."
"Alright." Baili Jia Jue placed his hand on her head and played with her hair.
Helian Wei Wei arched her brows. "Why are you so easy to deal with tonight?"
"Do I even need the Fire Qilin to deal with you?" Baili Jia Jue replied as he smiled.
It was that despising look again!
Helian Wei Wei took a deep breath and said, "You cannot bring the martial practice that I made for you as well."
No instant agreement came from Baili Jia Jue this time around.
Helian Wei Wei smiled, "What? I thought you said that it was easy to deal with me? Do you think that winning would be difficult if your martial practice is absent?"
"Wei Wei." Baili Jia Jue smiled faintly as he muttered, "Why not you tell me, what can your husband bring?"
Helian Wei Wei took a glance at his malevolent expression, then leaned over and kissed his eye. "You can bring nothing with you as you have to let me win."
Baili Jia Jue arched his brows playfully. "So you really want to tie me up huh?"
That was not the point!
The point was being the initiator!
Helian Wei Wei smiled, "Okay, deal! Let me get Whitey and my multi-morphing umbrella. I think I left them in the drawer…"
"Should I also give you command of the Fire Qilin?" Baili Jia Jue held his hands behind his head as his legs were crossed.
As Helian Wei Wei was focused on assembling her things, she turned back and replied, "No, do not even think about sending the Fire Qilin to me as a spy. I will not accept it." Her integrity was intact.
"Really?" Baili Jia Jue slowly sat down. His robe dropped to the floor as his slender fingers toyed with the silver ring on his finger. He then said with a faint voice, "You stand a chance with the Fire Qilin by your side."
Helian Wei Wei grabbed her metal box over, chose a few pastries, placed one of them in his mouth as she ate another one of them. She then said, "You are being very kind and that is weird. Do you think I do not know? Mythical beasts are contracted with their masters and the contract prohibits the mythical beast from attackin
g its master."
Baili Jia Jue casually swallowed the pastry in his mouth.
Helian Wei Wei brought him another one as she saw him finishing the first.
An unfamiliar warmth lit up in his eyes as Baili Jia Jue looked at her. "This is rare. You knew about it." It seemed like he had to come up with another way to make her the initiator, heh...
"Mm-hmm. This is why I say that I am knowledgeable, so do not lie to me." Helian Wei Wei clapped her hands as she said, "Now that we are done with the desserts, let's start fighting."
Baili Jia Jue arched his alluring brows as he replied, "Okay."
Helian Wei Wei narrowed her eyes as she looked at him and moved her fingers. The wind that formed in the air flew right toward Baili Jia Jue instantly!
As the gust of wind reached him, they dissipated. It was as if there was a barrier nullifying the effects of the wind.
Splash!
The ceramic pottery behind him shattered to pieces!
Helian Wei Wei was stunned before she laughed and spun around. She then appeared right in front of Baili Jia Jue. She raised her legs and it seemed like her kick was about to land on Baili Jia Jue!
At the very next moment, she forcefully recalled her motion and took a few steps backward. She furrowed her eyebrows as she asked, "You are not using your martial Qi?"
"I told you I was going to give you a handicap, right?" Baili Jia Jue grabbed her hand and held her in his arms, "Alright, you won. How do you want to tie me up?"
Helian Wei Wei frowned as she remained silent momentarily. "Why did you not channel your martial Qi just now?"
Baili Jia Jue remained silent as he slightly restrained his eyes. His eyes were mysteriously meager...
Helian Wei Wei thought of something as she raised his hand. "Did your martial Qi disappear?"
"Temporarily." It was as if Baili Jia Jue was used to it. He lowered his long sleeves. His side profile was perfect, just like an exquisite engraving.
Helian Wei Wei recalled that the same thing happened to him previously and inspected his eyes hurriedly. "Can you see? Did I hurt you? Why would you agree to fight me if you lost your martial Qi?"
"You have always wanted to win over me, right?" Baili Jia Jue laughed faintly. "This was a good chance for you."
Helian Wei Wei glared at him, "Go back to your bed and lie down."
"Are you not going to tie me up?" Baili Jia Jue said as he curled the edges of his lips.
Helian Wei Wei felt helpless as he pushed the back of His Highness to the bed and said, "Lie down!"
"Just lying down?" Baili Jia Jue looked at her as he smiled faintly. He then let out a sigh, "Alright, as long as I can get my martial Qi back…"
The Fire Qilin could no longer stay put, it jumped out and said, "What are you talking about, Master? You did not lose your martial Qi!"
Are you hurting yourself to gain an advantage again!
"Go out." Baili Jia Jue commanded casually as he spoke in a malevolent voice. "This prince does not like to be watched as he does his thing…"
Chapter 543 - Wei Wei Being The Initiator
It knew that this was just a ruse of injuring himself to gain Wei Wei's sympathy!
It did not know what the Master was planning after that...
"Are you still not leaving?" Baili Jia Jue shot a glance at the Fire Qilin. His intonation was calm and composed, " Do you want me to imprison you again?"
The Fire Qilin shuddered. It did not dare to stay any longer so it turned around and left the palace. It extended its claws and wiped out its cold sweat.
Master was too cruel!
He had planned on imprisoning it again!
It did not want to have a time out session in the 'Little Black Hole', a life without chasing butterflies was pure torture!
Furthermore, it was loved by many, so it could not be simply imprisoned!
"It's Big Boss!"
"Our boss looks cool!"
"He looks cool, but why does Boss' face look terrible?"
The little mythological beasts who were hiding outside the palace looked at the Fire Qilin in unison. All pairs of lively eyes
Chapter 544 - The Consequence Of Wei Wei’s Initiative
Helian Wei Wei did not notice the sly grin hidden beneath the curved edge of his mouth.
His robe fell off his shoulders as they went into the Yab-Yum process. When Helian Wei Wei finally leaned forward jerkily, he, on the other hand, felt his strength regained as he rested his palms on her back. "Your skills are terrible."
"You…" Helian Wei Wei's eyes were stained red, but they were even more enchanting than usual; enough to seduce someone with ways to tear her apart bit by bit.
Baili Jia Jue decided not to restrain his urges. He thrust his h.i.p.s forward, his forehead almost pressing against her and let out a deep chuckle, "It's really rare for you to act like this. When you're dominant, it makes me even more motivated to tear you apart."
"Bai… Baili Jia Jue!" At that moment, Helian Wei Wei understood what was happening, "You… you never did lose your martial Qi."
Baili Jia Jue kissed her softly, and with a strong trace of treachery, he said, "Let me, your husband, teach you the strategy of influencing the opponents through their thoughts. I hid my Martial Qi from you, which in turn made you worry."
"Have you got no shame?!" Helian Wei Wei lightly bit her thin lips. She could not resist the sensation of numbness as she arched her back, trying to relieve it.
Baili Jia Jue laughed sinisterly, "If I don't do so, will you be taking this initiative? Be good, I'll make you feel comfortable."
She was tormented for a period of time, and if it was not for the people sent by the Retired Emperor who was waiting outside the palace for them, the intimate bed business between Helian Wei Wei and Baili Jia Jue would have gone on forever.
His Highness was in a sour mood as the sudden visit by someone had ruined his opportunity. His finely crafted night robe was half-open, his silky black hair rested on both sides of his shoulder with his handsome face carrying regal and coldness. "What is it that requires such urgency?"
"It is the Little Seventh Prince," said the eunuch who came by. He did not dare raise his head and look into Baili Jia Jue's eyes. His head shivered as he managed those few words out of his mouth.
Baili Jia Jue drank a cup of tea delivered by Shadow. His voice was calm as he asked, "What happened to the Little Seventh Prince?"
"The Little Seventh Prince has captured… captured a Fire Qilin and planned to roast it!" When eunuch said this, he himself found it hard to believe. The Fire Qilin was no ordinary beast, it was the leader of the four grand mythical beasts! When coming across one, most people would want to tame it for their own purposes; only the Little Seventh Prince… would capture it to devour its flesh!
Baili Jia Jue slowly looked up at him, "Let him roast it then."
"Huh?!" The eunuch could not believe his ears. If he remembered correctly, the Fire Qilin mythical beast was the mount of the Third Prince. Why would His Highness agree to this?!
In the beginning, Eunuch Sun had sent him over to get the Third Prince to stop the Little Seventh Prince.
This was because the Little Seventh Prince would only listen to the words of the Third Prince!
How would he relay the message to Eunuch Sun?
The Retired Emperor was extremely infuriated that he was about to banish the Little Seventh Prince from the palace once more!
If the Little Seventh Prince roasted the Fire Qilin, he would definitely be banished to the mountain areas again.
Even though the Little Seventh Prince would normally eat anything that he saw, which was something they found very disturbing, his presence, however, had livened up the atmosphere in the palace.
Whether it was the Retired Emperor or Eunuch Sun, their mood would improve tremendously upon seeing the Little Seventh Prince.
Two days ago, the palace's atmosphere had gotten more and more melancholy; they were really reluctant to let Little Seven
th Prince leave.
While the eunuch was extremely anxious, the curtains opened. Helian Wei Wei, who was wearing a white robe walked out and glanced at Baili Jia Jue and said, "Using fire to roast Qilin is a wrong way of cooking. When you mentioned this to His Highness, clearly he wouldn't be worried about such matters. In the end, the Little Seventh Prince will still gobble it up, as he had captured the Fire Qilin, a mythical beast that could replenish his body. Where is he? I would go over and have a look. At the same time, I will teach him the correct way of cooking this dish."
The eunuch was speechless. He was here to ask someone to stop the Little Seventh Prince, not to assist him! Why would the Princess Consort support the idea of roasting the Fire Qilin!
Furthermore… the princess consort had shot a glare at His Highness just now!
Baili Jia Jue faintly chuckled and focused his gaze on Helian Wei Wei's face.
The eunuch instantly saw a light of hope. Your Highness, please stop her! Please stop the Princess Consort!
"I am curious as to how a Qilin can be made into a dish as well." Baili Jia Jue slowly walked toward Helian Wei Wei and swiftly reached out his arms to embrace her, making Helian Wei Wei cling onto his body tightly. His fingers c.a.r.e.s.sed her waist fondly as he said, "What do you say we go over there together?"
Helian Wei Wei could still sense the warmth from his body. She did not dare to move, afraid that he would do something reckless again. Her ears grew redder at the thought of it…
At the moment, the Retired Emperor was residing in the palace.
Eunuch Sun's voice was a little croaky from speaking too much, "Your Majesty, it would be best for you not to eat the Fire Qilin. Why not eat other food instead?"
"No." The little one was insistent on eating it. His little sturdy legs moved forward while dragging the Fire Qilin behind him. He was gasping as he was using strenuous effort to tug.
Eunuch Sun was about to say something.
The Retired Emperor took a deep breath and said, "Let him eat! I want to see how he's going to roast the Fire Qilin! His shenanigans have become increasingly irritating!"
