Baili Jia Jue sneered, the corners of his thin lips curling up slightly, "Qilin, get out of the city and make your way to the Ming River. Send out my order, no one is allowed to leave the magical realm."
"Yes." The Fire Qilin responded respectfully, although deep down inside he thought His Highness was going insane. He was the one who wanted to send the mortals back to the human world, but now he had also become the one who wouldn't allow anyone to leave the Magic Realm. It was obvious that he just didn't want Miss Wei Wei to leave!
"What about Miss Wei Wei?" Even if Fire Qilin understood what was going on, it still wanted to clarify with His Highness in case it ends up being punished by its Master.
At a leisurely pace, Baili Jia Jue replied, "Letting her go is one thing, whether or not she will make it out there is another."
"Get going! Are you waiting for me to feed you more carrots?" Baili Jia Jue emotionlessly stared at Fire Qilin, his face reflecting Fire Qilin's flames, accentuating his perfectly defined facial features that screamed forbidding danger.
Fire Qilin dared not delay another second. It promptly shapeshifted and flew toward the moat, but still saw no sign of Helian Wei Wei after waiting for half an hour. He eventually managed to get a hold of the two magical beasts through conjuration. Judging from the bruises on their faces, Fire Qilin got a general idea of what had happened.
"Where is Miss Wei Wei?" Fire Qilin asked in horror, hoping that it was not what he thought it was. Master would kill it!
Those magical beasts were still confused. They looked left and right before they sluggishly muttered, "That woman beat us up and then she was gone!"
"Boss, do you think she ran away!?" one of the magical beasts asked.
"We weren't even going to eat her, why would she want to run away?!" the other magical beast replied.
Fire Qilin's head started to hurt from listening to the conversation between the two magical beasts. It thought, crap, we're doomed. This time we're really doomed!
Judging from His Highness' actions, it was never his intention to let Miss Wei Wei leave. This time Miss Wei Wei was really gone! How was Fire Qilin supposed to tell His Highness about this!
At the Pandemonium, countless demons were still wildly partying in the middle of the dreary night.
Fire Qilin summoned up the courage to walk toward Baili Jia Jue, trying to report to its Master about what happened with a more euphemistic explanation, "Master, I did not find Miss Wei Wei."
"What do you mean by you did not find her?" Baili Jia Jue's tone sounded calm and normal like how he usually spoke, which gave Fire Qilin the courage to reveal the entirety of what really happened, "Miss Wei Wei was gone after beating up the magical beasts, chances are… chances are that she ran away."
She ran away?
Right away, it was as if Baili Jia Jue's had built up an indestructible cold wall around his body in an instant. The corners of his mouth twitched, his handsome face emotionless, except his eyes were ice-cold to the greatest extent. As he set his heavy gaze on Fire Qilin, it felt like its scalp froze up. Fire Qilin lowered its head in terror.
At this moment, Baili Jia Jue recalled what he had heard in the prison.
It was his negligence.
She was chasing after him, expressing her affection toward him for too long. He actually really thought she liked him and wouldn't be willing to leave. But the real man that she loved, wasn't him…
Baili Jia Jue's breath became increasingly heavy at the thought of himself not being the man she loved. He clenched his hands tight on the only thing that he was holding in his hands.
Snap!
The goblet snapped into pieces in his hands. His eyes turned deep red and he let out a vicious stare.
Fire Qilin panicked, but it was too terrified to go anywhere near the furious man.
Baili Jia Jue stood up as though nothing had happened, elegantly wiped away the blood stains on his fingers and strode outside right away, his deep eyes filled with apathetic despair.
Helian Wei Wei, do you think you can escape from me?
Chapter 594 - She Is Back!
No one could retreat unscathed after provoking the King!
In the Pandemonium, countless demons were staring at the hem of the flying cloak.
Their blood was trembling like they were about to break through the blood vessels. It was so scorching that even the heart could be burned! They looked at each other in the rickety Great Hall. No one knew what was going on, but one thing they were sure of was that the burning sensation came from their King!
What's wrong with the King?
He is so furious!
Furthermore, behind his anger, there seemed to be some imperceptible… loneliness?
Fire Qilin blinked. It felt that the person who would get hurt this time would be the King.
It must have made a mistake!
Bang!
Meanwhile, Helian Wei Wei had gotten rid of the last magical beast who was defending the Hall of Light. She then dragged the person away and sat at the doorway of the palace.
She was already exhausted from having to be in disguise throughout the journey.
She needed to take a rest first.
Anyway, this was Baili Jia Jue's royal chamber. He would certainly come back.
She should take this opportunity to fix the tiara.
It would also be easier for her to face off His Highness later.
Under the current situation, confronting him was the only way out. However, she was afraid that His Highness would not believe her.
Drop it. In any event, if he refuses to trust her, she could still hold on to his leg and refuse to let him leave!
In short, she must bring him back!
Helian Wei Wei lowered her eyes and her fingers were going through the tiara. An unprecedented serious expression ran up her face.
"Look, it's the human that is being kept in captivity by the King." The little demon who was passing by sniffed upon seeing Helian Wei Wei, "Her scent is so sweet. I'm tempted to take a bite. However, it's really strange that the King had never bitten her before."
Another little demon pursed his lips disdainfully, "This doesn't mean anything. The king has raised countless souls and all of them ended up dying. It's just not the time yet."
Helian Wei Wei had of course heard their conversations. She found it interesting and tilted her head to listen to them. From time to time, her thin lips would raised, looking handsome with a little laziness. Her deep gaze were shining like stars.
The little demons looked over and was stunned for a moment as demons had a natural fondness for gorgeous things.
Even though the human in front of them was not the most refined, she was mysterious.
No wonder the King would choose to keep her in captivity. However, it was indeed strange that he had not bitten her.
In the magical realm, only a partner would be cherished.
Thinking of this, the little demon glanced at Helian Wei Wei again. Nevertheless, he did not dare to stay on as he had heard that the King was in a very bad mood.
They need to quickly finish the pastries and leave. Otherwise, they would be summoned by the King!
After the two little demons left, Helian Wei Wei was left alone in the Hall of Light. She leaned against the door without knowing how long had passed.
Baili Jia Jue walked in from outside. Upon seeing the nodding little head, his gaze froze and he stopped in his tracks.
Fire Qilin behind him who was tense became relieved as soon as it saw Helian Wei Wei.
It turned out that the Miss Wei Wei that they had been busy looking for was here.
Wait a minute!
Didn't she escape?
Why is she back again?
Anyway, it's great that she is back.
The entire magical realm was about to collapse if she was still nowhere to be seen.
Fire Qilin turned his face over and looked at his Master's expression.
The sudden sound of footsteps caused Helian Wei Wei w
ho was sleeping to open her eyes. She looked up and saw Baili Jia Jue who was in a cloak standing in front of her. The exquisite workmanship wrapped around his body, making him look slender and tall. He was further covered in a snowflake-like mink fur which seemed to have come from an extremely cold region. The most attractive part was the pair of black suede gloves which were always wrapping around his hands. They seemed to have been tailor-made as they fit snugly and delicately on his fingers. It was as elegant as his second layer of skin.
Without even thinking, Helian Wei Wei reached her hands out and hugged his long legs!
Fire Qilin, "..."
Baili Jia Jue did not understand what she was doing. He lowered his eyes and looked at his robe that had been marked. His voice became cold, "Let go."
It could not be that he got angry again before she could even say a word?
Helian Wei Wei raised her lazy eyes and insisted on not letting go.
Baili Jia Jue seemed noble and elegant as the moonlight shone his face. His eyes looked unfathomable like an amber lake, "I'm saying it again. Let go."
Helian Wei Wei did not let go. According to His Highness' character, he would have shook her hands off if he hated it.
He did not shake her hand off. Thus, there was still hope!
However, at that moment, a distinct sneer could be heard, "Sister Ni, look at this. It's a compliment to just say that she is thick-skinned. The King had asked her to let go but she is still pestering the King."
Helian Wei Wei could not be more familiar with Xiao Kui's voice.
She turned her head over and her cold gaze caused Xiao Kui who was still talking to shiver.
As if she was aware of the discord between the two of them, Ni Feng glanced at Xiao Kui and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
"I'm not talking nonsense." Xiao Kui felt that her chance was finally here. The King was always absent when she was confronting this b*tch. But, it was obvious that the King had now loathed her. Coupled with Sister Ni's presence, she could definitely defeat Helian Wei Wei.
"She's a wild woman who appeared from nowhere. Yet, she's pestering the king." Xiao Kui's was obviously mocking her, "She's so shameless even in the magical realm. Wouldn't she be more open in the human world? Perhaps she already had a man…"
Baili Jia Jue's eyes turned cold. Without saying a word, he turned his body around.
Helian Wei Wei looked at her hand that was being shaken off again and her heart instantly became cold.
Can it be that he has… believed that Xiao Kui's words?
"Xiao Kui, stop talking." Ni Feng pulled Xiao Kui back and stared at her as a warning, "This is Miss Wei Wei's business. You've said too much."
Upon seeing that Baili Jia Jue's eyes were on her, Xiao Kui ignored Ni Feng's lecture and continued to slander Helian Wei Wei, "Sister Ni, I'm not being long-tongued. When Helian Wei Wei was first found, she was obviously disheveled. Perhaps she was left there after having an affair with the disciple of the Exorcist Temple."
"You know so much about it," said Baili Jia Jue and he started to laugh. It was so gentle that even the sky and land turned pale...
Chapter 595 - Handsome Prince, Wei Wei Confessed
Xiao Kui blushed instantly. She said with a coy voice, "I'm only worried that my King will be cheated by this hypocritical woman."
Upon hearing what she said, Baili Jia Jue paced slowly toward her, in such grace and elegance that could only be found in a comic book. Large cl.u.s.ters of black feathers lightly fell from his body. His cynical smile was nowhere to be found, instead, what's left on his cold and handsome face was looming enchantment.
Xiao Kui's face got rosier as her heart pounded like a jackhammer.
Yet, halfway through, Baili Jia Jue seemed to have remembered something. He then again paced slowly back to where he was.
As Helian Wei Wei was still spiralling in her feeling of loss, looking a bit gloomy, she raised her brows, baffled, as she saw him walking back again.
No one would ever think that Baili Jia Jue would bend down and cover her eyes with his hands. His then said with his deep and melodious voice, "Close your eyes."
"Close my eyes? Why? Are you going to do anything that will hurt me?" This was Helian Wei Wei's first reaction, as she did not think that how His Highness was acting now looked like she was forgiven.
Baili Jia Jue certainly did not forgive her yet, but... "It will bother me very much if you saw me in the process of killing. So, it's best if you close your eyes."
"Who are you killing? Me?" Helian Wei Wei felt like she was hypnotized. His voice sounded like a wave of sand slowly flowing through her ears, carrying with it a sense of enchantment that could not be described.
Baili Jia Jue did not deny it. He only looked at the tiara beside her as he said, "So are you closing your eyes, or not?"
"Erm..." Helian Wei Wei narrowed her eyes, "I won't look pretty if I'm dead, so you better reconsider your decision."
Baili Jia Jue looked at her as his eyes dimmed. "It will be done soon, don't open your eyes."
Engulfed by darkness, Helian Wei Wei neither nodded nor shook her head.
Xiao Kui was wearing a gloating look by then. This b*tch is finally going to die, there's nothing more enjoyable than this right now!
However, what she did not know was that the man's target was herself!
After that, she felt the pain of her tongue being ripped out. The pain was so atrocious that it made her scream her lungs out.
But the man did not just stop there, instead, with a slight smile on his face, bit by bit, he shattered her left leg!
Ni Feng, who was standing close enough, was shocked speechless by what was happening right in front of her.
Xiao Kui's blood splattered onto her face.
Perhaps she would never forget this gruesome scene, looking at someone so familiar to her gradually turning into nothing but a pile of blood and pulp in front of her very eyes.
Only then did she know how horrifying this man in front of her was!
It was so horrifying that she felt a spine-chilling dread that she had never felt before well up from the bottom of her heart.
He was, indeed, the devil!
A truly una.d.u.l.terated, unscrupulous devil!
It was the Devil's whisper. Once heard, it would make any listeners temporarily lose all their senses.
But of course, except their sense of sight.
Helian Wei Wei's hearing was also affected to some degree.
While she was there, puzzled, wondering why she could not even take a peek,
Baili Jia Jue had already paralyzed Xiao Kui, but sparing her life. With a carefree attitude, he ordered someone beside him, "Send her to the fifth layer of hell, those magical beasts should be hungry by now."
"Yes," Fire Qilin glanced at Helian Wei Wei, who knew nothing about what had just happened. The King surely did treat Lady Wei Wei differently. This was the first time ever that the King would care about people seeing him kill someone.
The Lady Ni, who was standing at the other side, could not stomach what she saw, thus she started puking her guts out.
Sigh, poor thing.
After all, those who had witnessed the entire killing process of the King, would not be able to eat any meat for basically a month. Needless to say, the way the King kills, was so despicably cruel, even for him...
"Mhmm, Mhmm!" Xiao Kui, who was being dragged away, moved her lips toward Ni Feng with all her strength.
In this present state, she could not speak another word. Cold sweat was pouring down all over her because of the pain. The only thing she ever wanted right now was for Ni Feng to save her.
Ni Feng, on the other hand, wanted to save her too. Her face was as pale as a lily-white corpse as she pleaded, "My King…"
"Miss Ni, once the king has made up his mind, under normal circ.u.mstances, it's set in stone." Fire Qilin leaned in, blocking her from Baili Jia Jue. Noticing that his master did not react, he was certain that what he was doing was correct
. With his back straightened, he said, "You should go back and rest. After all, you are injured."
Fire Qilin's words was Xiao Kui's last straw. In the end, she still could not figure out why she was the one to die.
She might not be able to figure it out, but that did not mean that Ni Feng could not put two and two together.
How that person treated Helian Wei Wei was very different.
Ni Feng's fingers froze. Looking at Fire Qilin, who was blocking in front of her, she forced her voice out, "Xiao Kui is still my sister. Even if I can't change the King's mind, I still want her to be left with an intact corpse."
"Certainly. After all, you did save the King before, so we will leave her with an intact corpse." Fire Qilin turned around and looked at his master. Apparently, the King's focus was not on this anymore.
Ni Feng knew that this was the best ending she could ever ask for.
If it was that plan alone, then the more Baili Jia Jue cared for Helian Wei Wei, the better the effect would be.
No matter how different he treated her, once the seed of doubt was planted, nothing could be resolved that easily!
"Clear this up," said Baili Jia Jue. After that, he wanted to walk past Helian Wei Wei, straight to his royal chamber. He really did not feel like having a conversation with her right now...
… If she was not there still with her eyes shut, lifting her petite face and saying stuff like, "Is it done? Can I open my eyes now? Actually, I feel that you look kinda cool when you're killing, why won't you let me look?"
If not for that, Baili Jia Jue would not have felt like she was a little puppy, following right behind him, jumping on to him when left unattended.
"Is it done?" Helian Wei Wei opened up her clear and innocent eyes, "Hmm... your hands, they smell like blood." Did he really kill someone just now? To be honest, she thought that she would be the one he wanted to kill, because even till now, she could feel that he was very unpleased.
Baili Jia Jue ignored her.
Helian Wei Wei took a moment and then raised the tiara she was holding, "I fixed it."
