The ambassador from the Xuanyuan Kingdom had planned his trip much earlier and arrived somewhere near Shandong that very night. The banners in vertical position were all imprinted with an Eight Trigram on every side, compared to the diplomatic convoys from other countries, the one from Xuanyuan was very different. Each person was robed in white, two swords crisscrossed on their backs, one of which was an ice blade, while the other was made of solid mahogany. Their gait was like the immortal masters of Dao, with most of them in their youth yet were accustomed to traveling through the night as if the dark souls and spirits would go to great lengths to avoid crossing their paths.
"Crown Prince, we have already arrived at Shandong. Tomorrow we should be able to enter the Capital." A young man in white robe walked over and halted his step by the side of the convoy, leaning toward the side of the carriage as he said respectfully, "The other party must have heard about the words of our arrival and have already made appropriate arrangements."
A calm voice spoke from within the carriage, "We are traveling in such a large group, if the War Dragon Dynasty is still unable to notice us, then they really are a nation in ruins."
"True that." The young man bowed his head.
Elder Xu Wu was not anxious at all when he heard this. He then said, "An Liu, you don't have to worry so much. The War Dragon Dynasty has never had that many exorcists, and now that the Third Prince has taken away a few elders that I know, coupled with the recent death of their Emperor, the state of affairs in the Imperial Court must be unstable. The War Dragon Dynasty of today is in a disastrous state and almost on the verge of ruins, where on earth will they be able to spare the energy to fight against us? What's more, even if they wanted to do something like that they will need to have the power to do so."
"Elder Xu Wu, speaking in such a manner would be too much, that royal is a world-renowned genius at martial skills, he is not as lousy as you describe him to be." One could tell that the words were uttered by a lady based on the soft voice.
Elder Xu Wu laughed while stroking his white beard as he said, "Yes, yes, yes, Your Highness is correct. The royal that has caught your eye is definitely no ordinary fish."
"Elder!" The young girl's face blushed pink, even though covered by a veil, one could still see through most of her appearance. It was obvious that Elder Xu Wu's words had not angered her but in fact, caused her to feel a bit shy.
It was nighttime, and the royal chamber was brightly lit.
Helian Wei Wei and Little Seven were seated facing each other, one was busy eating, the other was also busy eating. It was like a competition, a big one against the small one, facing off each other, yet it created an inexplicable sense of harmony.
The bodyguard that followed Helian Wei Wei suddenly appeared kneeling in front of her and in a deferential low tone, reported something to her.
Helian Wei Wei arched an eyebrow while yawning as she asked, "Xuanyuan Kingdom?"
"Yes." The kneeling bodyguard lowered his eyes.
Helian Wei Wei began to laugh, then lazily stretching out her body in an elegant arc and said, "Could it be that their princess has no idea that the person who has caught her eye is already someone else's possession? I should have thought that the entire world would know by now that Baili Jia Jue is mine! Is this not obvious enough?"
The guard thought to himself. Uh…I have mentioned so much, including the news about the purpose of the Xuanyuan Kingdom's diplomatic convoy, which aims to humiliate the War Dragon Dynasty, and it may even cause conflict. Out of so many details, how come the Eldest Young Lady seems to have only registered a part of my whole report? He was rendered absolutely speechless.
Yet, the shadow guard who walked in with Baili Jia Jue felt a shiver running down his spine and immediately turned to look at his master's face. After all, the word, 'possession' seemed to have an ambiguous meaning.
Chapter 650 - His Highness And Wei Wei Were Too Sweet
Baili Jia Jue slowly came to a stop and half-smiled at the person currently lying on her side.
Helian Wei Wei did not realize that he had entered, and was struggling to peel an orange in her hand. Then, she spoke lazily, "Viewing him will cost a hundred thousand pieces of silver, a closer look will be one million, and having tea together would cost a mere bargain of ten million pieces of silver."
The mercenary did not understand what Helian Wei Wei meant and asked, "Eldest Young Lady, what are you talking about?"
"Ah, these are the Third Prince's appearance fee." Helian Wei Wei noticed that she had finished eating the orange in her hand, and wanted to turn her body around to take another one.
Luckily, 'a certain someone' very timely passed one to her.
As Helian Wei Wei took it, she heard a gasp of surprise. She cheerfully peeled the orange and ate a slice, before saying, "What's wrong? Do you think it's too expensive? Don't worry, it would be a waste if we don't take advantage of a girl like the princess of Xuanyuan Kingdom. Just tell her exactly what I said, she will definitely be happy to pay the price."
The little one, who was eating with her, suddenly widened his tiger-like eyes roundly. Then, while biting half an orange in his mouth, he repeatedly nudged Helian Wei Wei with his little hand.
"Little Seven, why do you keep nudging me… What are you doing…" Her voice noticeably dropped when she turned around to have a look.
Baili Jia Jue was behind her, throwing an orange into the air and catching it, smiling slightly as he coldly uttered, "Why did you stop? Go on, I want to hear more. I want to know the other prices too."
Helian Wei Wei choked on the orange inside her mouth, as a rare sense of guilt swept over her.
Shadow and the mercenary had shrewd common sense, so they hastily retreated.
Baili Jia Jue glanced at the little one, who immediately sprung up and gave Helian Wei Wei an 'every-man-for-himself' look before swiftly leaving with an armful of food.
Helian Wei Wei thought that she was extremely unlucky as she was caught red-handed by the person she was bad-mouthing. I'm so unlucky!
Baili Jia Jue merely remained silent after saying that.
Helian Wei Wei's eyes suddenly brightened as she thought of a good excuse, saying. "I'm going to see if the Imperial Kitchen has finished preparing our dinner yet."
Baili Jia Jue simply extended his arms and took off his fur coat. As she stood up to leave, he immediately pulled her into his embrace. He c.a.r.e.s.sed her wrists with his slightly blackened fingertips as a sinister smile adorned his face, "Now that you have mentioned it, you reminded me about something. Since you have bought me, wouldn't it be a waste of your money if I don't fulfill my duty, hmm?"
As he finished his question, Helian Wei Wei's face became burning hot. His Highness' idea of 'doing something' was definitely not what the usual meaning indicated.
"I'm satisfied already, there's no need for you to do anything on this chaise lounge anymore. Really!" Helian Wei Wei earnestly said as she looked at him.
Baili Jia Jue looked at her with an evil smirk, teasing, "So it's because you don't like the location. We can always go to the South Chancery, I remember that you were exceptionally tight there."
Helian Wei Wei's entire body felt numb when she heard him, and she could feel his fingers began to move. She curled herself up like a prawn into his embrace, as she softly tried to protest, "It's not the location! It's obviously a matter of frequency!"
Unexpectedly, he removed his hands and smilingly nodded in acquiescence with her, saying, "It is indeed."
Thank the Heavens and the Earth. Finally, you listened to me! Helian Wei Wei's smiled brightly as she lowered her head and continued peeling an orange. She began to consider that she could free up her time at night in the future, so she could venture outside the palace or do something else...
"From now on, I will increase the frequency at my own discretion." Baili Jia Jue's voice sounded devilish as he asked, "Now this ought to satisfy you, right?"
Helian Wei Wei instantaneously whippe
d her head around. Increase the frequency?
"You seem very touched." As Baili Jia Jue leaned over her and kissed the back of her hand in a gentlemanly manner, the smile on his face slowly grew. The fireworks in the sky were reflected in his eyes, making him appear irresistibly seductive. Then, he said, "Since I'm already taken by you, I know the rules well."
Helian Wei Wei was rendered speechless… How on earth do I look moved! Furthermore, why is he talking about himself as though he's a gigolo!
That very night, Helian Wei Wei experienced just how "rule-abiding" he could be. Her entire body became limp and she did not even have the strength to lift her arms. However, he still would not let her go. He mercilessly whispered in her ears, "You want another woman to come 'view' me? Hmm?"
As he thrust against her, Helian Wei Wei's eyes widened in response. He was like a nail driver, endlessly nailing her to the spot, each time heavier and deeper than the last. However, he suddenly stopped. As he exhaled hot air onto her, he said, "If you like money, I can give it to you. However, if I hear those words again, I will definitely show you no mercy, do you understand?"
As Helian Wei Wei's long legs were bent, her body almost reached its climax. However, he suddenly stopped to frustrate her for a moment, refusing to let her reach org*sm. Tears fell from her beautiful phoenix eyes as she begged, "Jue…"
It was rare to see her in such a state. Thus, Baili Jia Jue looked down at her as he held her waist firmly, saying. "Good, beg me. Beg me and I'll give it to you."
"Please, ah!" A sudden violent shove made Helian Wei Wei involuntarily let out a cry.
The curtains swayed to the rhythm of the bed's movements, continuing for a long time...
After being tormented this way, it was natural for Helian Wei Wei to be quite sleepy.
However, Baili Jia Jue woke up early. As he stood regally by the bedside, he seemed to be neatly dressed. Usually, Helian Wei Wei would continue sleeping while he went about his business.
However, it was a little different today. Helian Wei Wei had opened her eyes in the early morning. As she lay lazily in the blanket, she asked with smiling eyes, "I'm hungry now, what do I do?"
As the palace servants kept entering and leaving the room, Helian Wei Wei simply looked on and lay lazily in his arms, unbothered. Two strands of stray hair hang on her head as she yawned from time to time.
Baili Jia Jue found it funny and leaned over to kiss her. Then, he washed her hands and let her gargle her mouth with mint water before carrying her toward the side of the wooden table.
Both of them looked extremely appealing, one with a languid persona, while the other was regally ascetic. As a pair, they would surely cause heads to turn.
They have never seen a woman like Helian Wei Wei were rare in the palace before.
If any consort received affection, they would usually be very shy and conscious of themselves.
However, the Third Princess Consort would give an evil smirk instead. None of the other consorts could compare with her at all.
Helian Wei Wei turned her head around and uttered in Baili Jia Jue's ear, saying, "Look, all the little palace maids are embarrassed."
"Stop fidgeting." Baili Jia Jue had never set eyes on anyone else, even more so now. He indifferently held the restless person in his embrace down, before asking in deep magnetic voice, "Between buns and fried breadstick, which do you prefer?"
Chapter 651 - Continued To Be Sweet: A Challenge (Part 1)
Helian Wei Wei felt that His Highness was becoming increasingly disrespectful toward her.
They were right in front of the palace maids, but he still disciplined her. He simply did not care for her image at all!
This must not continue! Today, I would fight back!
"I, uhm…"
What is he doing!
Can he not interrupt me at such an important moment!
As Helian Wei Wei was complaining in her heart, Baili Jia Jue had already picked up a bun and put it near her mouth.
She initially wanted to refuse it adamantly. However, when the fragrant smell of bread reached her nose, Helian Wei Wei could not help but take a small bite. The filling was a mixture of mushrooms, meat, and even some shrimp. The dough of the bun was perfectly made and felt springy when chewed. Helian Wei Wei's eyes brightened as she began to eat obediently.
Never mind, sooner or later, there would come a day when he would uncontrollably love her. Then, she would order him around!
This meat bun was quite delicious.
Helian Wei Wei very naturally enjoyed his servility, her eyes scrunching up with p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e. While she was eating, her imagination ran wild. As she imagined asking His Highness to do something and him being too scared to refuse, her heart felt fully contented. She could not help but tightly grip her fists, pondering to herself. This would be the ultimate goal for the rest of my life!
A flicker of a smile sparked through Baili Jia Jue's eyes when he saw it. Then, he extended his hands and moved closer toward her. She always seemed like a good little fox when she ate. When she sheathed her claws, her eyes shone brightly and she seemed so obedient. She did not even care that it was extremely intimate to eat the bun from his hand. Every time she opened her mouth and took a bite, her tongue would lightly brush against his fingers, which immensely pleased His Highness...
After finishing breakfast, Helian Wei Wei began to feel sleepy. She let out a yawn while still in his embrace. Her yawns were not like a cat but more like a dog, more specifically, like a husky. The fuzzy hairs on the top of her head were still upright, as usual of her.
Baili Jia Jue's smile grew when he saw her in such a state. Then, he kissed his dear pet and carried her onto the bed again.
Helian Wei Wei thought that he would go about his own business after putting her to bed.
His fingers were drumming her back as he rested his chin on top of her head.
Helian Wei Wei found this very soothing and wrapped her arms around his waist. Then, she turned her face sideways as she breathed in that unique scent.
"Go to sleep," Baili Jia Jue ordered into her ear, his voice sounded very elegant and cold as usual. However, his movements were soft as he gently kissed her forehead.
Helian Wei Wei's eyes were still closed. Every single time she entered his embrace, it would be a different feeling. As the sound of his steady heartbeats traveled into her ear and synchronized with her heartbeat, Helian Wei Wei felt a novel sense of peace.
While she was half-asleep, she suddenly heard someone reporting something outside.
"Your Highness, the messenger of Xuanyuan Kingdom has entered the Capital." Shadow had to muster up all his courage to say this, as no one dared to bother his Master at such a moment. Since Eunuch Sun was not there, the unfortunate responsibility had fallen into his hands.
Helian Wei Wei drowsily asked, "What's the matter?"
Baili Jia Jue patted her on the back as he coaxed her, "Nothing, go back to sleep."
The two strands of hair were still adorably sticking out on top of Helian Wei Wei's head. However, she did not really register what was said. As her eyes became heavy, she turned to her side and instantly fell back into the dreamland.
Baili Jia Jue was displeased that she left his embrace, so he pulled her back and whispered, "Sleep here."
Helian Wei Wei liked sleeping together but she turned away as she sensed that he probably had something to do now. As she returned his unbelievably warm embrace, her eyes closed and she immediately fell asleep.
Shadow could not hear what was going on inside and did not dare to continue speaking so he continued to wait outside.
After Baili Jia Jue had coaxed her back to sleep, he opened the embroidered curtains, put on a pure black fur coat, and exited the chamber. He asked, "So, they've reached the Capital. What else?"
Shadow said, his head bowed, "Our informants in the Capital say that the Princess of Xuanyuan has come with the Crown Prince of Xuanyuan as well. It seems that they might be planning somethin
g."
"Alright, I understand." Baili Jia Jue looked unfazed by the news. Appearing extremely regal as usual, he continued, "According to tradition, when the messenger has entered the Capital, tributes should be collected before any talks begin."
With lowered eyes, Shadow replied, "Understood."
When the messenger from the Xuanyuan Kingdom heard the reply, he scoffed to himself despite appearing courteous. This Third Prince really thought that the War Dragon Empire is still the same as it used to be, he even has the gall to ask for tributes.
When Elder Xu Wu heard this, he touched his beard and said, "It seems that we've overestimated the world's greatest martial Qi master, Baili Jia Jue. He can win wars, but he seems clueless about diplomacy between nations. After we enter the palace tonight, he will realize how foolish it is to talk about tributes."
If Little Seven had heard these words, he definitely would have rolled his eyes at Elder Xu Wu. Why should Master be diplomatic? Neighboring countries meant nothing, as they were all merely vassal states to them. If they dared to be disobedient, they would be beaten to death. This was something that Third Brother had taught him from early on.
A few of the more conservative ministers felt greatly uneasy when they heard that the Third Prince asked for tributes. However, they did not dare to directly ask him and kept their anxiety to themselves. When the messenger from the Xuanyuan Kingdom arrived, they were exceptionally polite towards him.
Xiong Jing huffed loudly when he saw this. In his opinion, His Highness had made the right decision. Despite the current state of the Imperial Court, they should not seem like a pushover to others.
Inside the royal chamber, the palace servants were constantly carrying things in and out, but without seeming disorderly. They were all there to help Helian Wei Wei dress up for the day.
