Because in the war over a thousand years ago, the Demon Killing Buddhist Incantation was lost!
How could this happen!
How did this person cast the demon killing Buddhist incantation!
Not only that, the Dharma was even forming on her body!
The evil spirit's gaze widened even more, its deepest regret was underestimating this human in front of it.
It was too late to run, without the wedding dress, it could no longer shift. The Light of Buddha from the daggers had completely trapped it within the mortal shell. Now that the other girls had laid down their resentment, through the baptism of the demon killing Buddhist incantation, they could be reincarnated. As for the evil spirit, there was nowhere it could go, only the fate of being pulverized by the Demon Killing Buddhist Incantation awaited it!
This person dragged out the time before killing it, so to let the other girls go.
At this moment, the evil spirit realize how badly it lost!
"Begone evil spirit!" It was followed by Helian Wei Wei's words!
The giant stamp sign pressed down with the weight of a mountain, slowly covering Yan Liu'er from her head.
In the process of its descend, it illuminated the dark cloud while melting away the resentful aura in the air. It was like snow vaporizing into thin air!
A piercing shriek could be heard, when a shadow was clearly seen getting knocked out from Yan Liu Er's body by the Light of Buddha.
It wanted to escape.
But Helian Wei Wei's black Alsatian was several times faster than it, with a low growl it swallowed the spirit whole into its stomach!
The Alsatian munched a few times before it ran back to Helian Wei Wei's side, where it continued standing proudly. Gallant and loyal, its eyes remained sharp in the darkness.
No other spirit dared to get close to this place, especially after the aura of resentment was completely destroyed.
They lost their source of power, and retreated after noticing the danger.
Despite that, when they lost their shield from the aura of resentment, the spirits above no longer had any protective screen.
In less than a minute, they were all captured by patrolling reapers!
The rain had stopped, and it was snowing heavily now. The white of the snow seemed to be able to cleanse everything.
Yan Liu'er opened her eyes for an instant before she fell back into a deep sleep.
The infected spirits had also returned to their normal state. Taking the opportunity of an overcast day, they returned home to have a look, some went for reincarnation, whereas some were also captured and punished by reapers .
The human world and the underworld finally returned to their normal orders.
The King of Hell drew back his order to close the Path of Reincarnation. Afterward, he started to focus on searching every corner in the palace.
However, being the straightforward and foolish guy he was, the King of Hell did not know that he was duped by his own son.
At the same time, the son of the King of Hell, who enjoyed duping others, looked at Helian Wei Wei with a wicked expression. He held his chin with his small hand, as if he was smiling.
He finally knew why this woman was a variable, Demon Killing Buddhist Incantation, hmm, interesting, very interesting…
Chapter 709 - Demon Killing Buddhist Incantation, The Mysterious Person
"Master! It's the Demon Killing Buddhist Incantation! It's the ultimate Demon Killing Buddhist Incantation!" The little one, who was initially standing on the far end of the wall collecting aura of resentment, was startled while holding a gourd in its arms. It slowly turned its head toward Jing Wushuang who was standing next to it.
Jing Wushuang's body had always been unwell, but never this bad. Cloaked in a pure white fur coat, his lips were pale as he looked into the distance. He appeared to be mumbling to himself. "Yes, the ultimate Demon Killing Buddhist Incantation, I didn't think that her powers could grow so quickly…"
"Master." The little one strecthed out its arm and grabbed Jing Wushuang's sleeves. "It's alright, I'm here with you, besides didn't we already found the grave of Lady Ni? When there's enough aura of resentment and fresh blood, she can be revived. This way, we don't need Helian Wei Wei's mortal shell anymore. Upon Lady Ni's revival, Helian Wei Wei's bloodline of the exorcising tribe will disappear. The true Phoenix Girl will return, by then master will not be alone anymore."
Jing Wushuang coughed heavily twice. He touched his fingers to the little one's head and calmly agreed. A faint smile lingered by the corner of his mouth with an unchanging gentleness, but the light reflected in his gaze appeared to be sad.
The little one stopped talking upon seeing his expression. It then lowered its head, feeling somewhat empty.
Jing Wushuang laughed, "Shall we go? Let's go prepare, there's a lot to be done to revive the Phoenix Girl."
"Mm-hmm!" The little one obediently nodded, proceeding to follow behind Jing Wushuang's footstep.
Demon Killing Buddhist Incantation and the Golden Lotus Dharma, all these reminded him of his past.
Back then, he did not have a body in flesh, he was just a Bodhi tree from the Nine Heavens.
Jing Wushuang shut his eyes and opened them again, his gaze carried a misty shimmer. That was the reason why he must bring that person back.
Even if it would cost him everything.
He must let her reincarnate with the Phoenix Dharma!
"Woman, how did you learn the Demon Killing Buddhist Incantation?" the son of the King of Hell leaned nearer while carrying his axe. His small face appeared cunning no matter how you looked at it.
Helian Wei Wei nonchalantly glanced at him, "Is it weird?"
"It's not weird, I just found it interesting." The son of the King of Hell's eyes glimmered with light, "The Great Demon King used to be most fearful of those who knew this type of Buddhist exorcism incantation."
As soon as Helian Wei Wei heard him mentioning His Highness, she immediately became interested, "How long ago was that?"
"A few thousand years ago I think, there were no countries or nations that time, the three realms were also not as divided as it is now, and the Great Demon King had yet to become the scourge of the demon realm. Back then, when he was still mingling in the human realm, he didn't want to face anyone who knew the Demon Killing Buddhist Incantation." The King of Hell's son explained.
Helian Wei Wei flicked a horn on his head, "A few thousand years ago, just how old are you?"
"I wasn't born at that time, but woman, don't you look down on the power of the Eight Triagrams, few hundred years later, my pop would mention this every time he was defeated by the Great Demon King." The King of Hell's son rubbed his chin, "So I think it was real."
This time Helian Wei Wei did not speak, but only coughed lightly in his direction.
The son of the King of Hell was getting to the exciting part, how could he stop easily? He continued saying: "According to pop, the Great Demon King was like a mouse meeting a cat every time he saw that person, he was frightened badly. Sigh, I was born at the wrong time, if only I was born a few thousand years earlier, I would have been able to see the cowardly side of the Great Demon King! Just thinking about it makes me excited!"
"If you don't get back to the netherworld this instant, I can make you even more excited." The emotionless voice sounded from behind the son of the King of Hell. While that perfect face wore a little smile, his eyes gave off an icy cold light.
Which made the King of Hell's son disappear at once into the dark of the night, without even setting his hair properly!
Helian Wei Wei was listening intently, but with the son of the King of Hell leaving just like that, it was simply unsatisfying. Therefore, she decided to directly approach him and asked, "Were the things he said real?"
Baili Jia Jue sighed as he pulled her closer, then he started lecturing in a flat tone, "I told you the people from the netherworld are stupid, and that you should stay away from them. Yet you d
idn't listen, great, now you've become as stupid as them."
Helian Wei Wei was speechless... You don't have to be that mean.
"Then what's the truth? After all, there is no smoke without fire." Helian Wei Wei replied with confidence.
Baili Jia Jue seemed rather lazy to give an answer. "Indeed there was such a person, but we never met before."
"Eh?" Helian Wei Wei widened her eyes.
Baili Jia Jue's tone was still flat, "It was exactly because we never met each other, the rumor about me fearing her emerged. That foolish King of Hell only knew how to make things up, don't think too much of it."
Helian Wei Wei was once again at a loss for words.
She did not expect things to turn out this way, what about the Eight Trigrams?
"But, I think that person was not an ordinary person." Baili Jia Jue lifted his head and looked toward her. After some thought, he said, "She's quite powerful."
Helian Wei Wei was stunned, since His Highness rarely acknowledged anyone.
So Helian Wei Wei imagined most of the images herself, such as two great masters who knew about each other, but never met one another before…
Baili Jia Jue was already used to having the person in his arms space out occasionally. He helplessly laughed, before leading her out from the Wang family residence's yard.
When the wooden door opened, the Secretary of State for the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs rushed forward with his belly in the front, all the while feeling completely tensed!
Baili Jia Jue merely looked at him coldly.
He quietly asked Helian Wei Wei, "Princess consort, what's the situation inside?"
"It was solved," Helian Wei Wei knew that he dare not to talk to His Highness directly. After thinking for a bit, she continued, "Beside Yan Liu'er, the other girls were beyond saving. Their corpses are in the back room and the culprit was Old Lady Wang, think about how to close this case."
"Was the murderer really an elderly person?" Although he listened to the princess consort's deduction, even after the truth was revealed, the Secretary of State for the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs still found it unbelievable.
Helian Wei Wei grunted in affirmation, "Wang Ling will confess about the entire situation, bring some men to the Zhang family and confiscate all their properties later, then distribute it to the families in the alley. Remember to announce the details of the case to them, beside Zhang Ling'er, the parents of every victim have the right to know the truth."
"Yes." The Secretary of State for the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs was surprised, every scene that happened today was unusual, although the princess consort didn't say anything, everyone saw the ghastly aura overflowing from within. Where did it go now? Who settled all of these?
Chapter 710 - Wei Wei Noticed Her Abnormalities
The Secretary of State for the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs asked questions endlessly until he had listened to Wang Ling's entire narration. Then, he took a long time to ponder about it.
After a while, he asked the private advisor beside him with a serious expression, "Say, what would happen if I recruit the Third Princess Consort to help solve our ministry's case?"
"His Highness would murder you, my Lord. Then, he will proceed to have your family arrested." His mentor answered stoically, "You're welcome to try it if you have a death wish."
The Secretary of State for the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs was speechless in response and did not pursue the matter further. However, he still wanted to tell the process of the princess solving this case in the Golden Palace. His intuition told him that her investigation methods would very likely influence future students.
Thus, the next morning, almost everyone in the entire War Dragon Empire knew about the incident in the alley.
Within just a day, she managed to solve the missing person case that was unresolved for two weeks, without using any connections. People were greatly in awe of her sophisticated mind.
Some scholars even recorded the process of Helian Wei Wei's investigation process into specialized books for other students to peruse seriously.
Due to this incident, the ministers who had neglected Helian Wei Wei in the past completely changed their opinions on her.
"No wonder the Retired Emperor agreed to the marriage between the Third Prince and Helian Wei Wei, she's so impressive!"
"I remembered this brat when she was younger, she was overly submissive. However, look at her now, you really can't judge someone by their appearance."
"Indeed!"
Whether it was inside or outside of the palace, everyone was proud to have a princess like her.
Meanwhile, the patriarchs from the other families thought differently.
Initially, they were in no hurry.
After all, without even needing to raise their concerns, external and internal factors would always affect things to be in their favor.
After the Emperor had passed away, the Third Prince inherited the throne. However, he only married Helian Wei Wei and no one else.
They had constantly been by the Retired Emperor's side and had helped him so much.
The Third Prince partly owed his achievements to their continuous support.
From their perspectives, the Retired Emperor could not simply discard them after using them like that.
They needed to fight for their families' futures now. Otherwise, when the Third Prince was enthroned, the Helian clan would become the most powerful family and receive all its benefits.
Their daughters were born from honorable backgrounds too. Helian Wei Wei may be unique, but their daughters were quite decent as well!
Why should Helian Wei Wei be the only one that gets to enjoy the luxuries of such an enormous harem?
Since the Third Prince would not listen to them, they would wait for the Retired Emperor to return.
They had been married for so long, but Helian Wei Wei was still not pregnant yet. The Retired Emperor would surely panic at this news.
Even if the Retired Emperor was not anxious, the Third Prince would need to produce an heir when he inherited the throne. Otherwise, he would have to marry a concubine. This was the tradition inherited from the ancestors and cannot be changed.
At night, in the palace's internal compound in Jiuchong Hall…
Helian Wei Wei feasted on her third meal that night. It comprised of spicy duck wings, chilled lotus root, as well as sweet and sour ribs. All of them were served in big bowls and placed on the wooden table.
Little Seven gnawed on one of the duck wings as he kneeled beside her. Sometimes, he would tease the Alsatian for fun. Then, an evil idea popped into his mind when he saw the dog's large head. Thus, he asked, "Third Aunt, can I eat it?"
Helian Wei Wei choked on her water and coughed, blurting, "No."
"Why not?" Little Seven inquired seriously, "I think it really wants to be eaten by me."
The corners of Helian Wei Wei's mouth slightly twitched, but she merely yawned lazily and replied, "That's just your imagination."
"Then I'll feed it until it's fatter. Third Brother says that it tastes better when it's fatter." The little one stated this with a straight face. Then, he stood up and tried to grab another duck wing to feed the Alsatian.
However, he did not expect to find all three of the large bowls to be empty.
"Third Aunt! Where's the food?" The little one looked glanced around and furrowed his brows.
Helian Wei Wei simply laid down languidly on the chaise lounge. Then, she plucked a few gr.a.p.es and replied nonchalantly, "Of course, I ate all of them. Also, the duck wings aren't spicy enough, so next time when you steal from the kitchen, remember to steal some chilies too."
"No way, I'll be caught by Third Brother if I steal chilies." The little one appeared distressed as he mentioned this and added, "Third Aunt, you've been eating too much recently. Third Brother ordered me to look after you and not let you eat so much at night, it's not good for your digestion. You and I are
different after all, I can digest anything I eat, but now you've eaten so much again. When Third Brother finds out, he'll make me dance pantless again, I'll be a laughing stock for all the eunuchs."
Helian Wei Wei looked at the vigorous little one by her legs and was instantly amused. So, she extended her arms and lifted him up, saying, "Letting you, a glutton, look after me? Didn't you just bring me some food? I have some orange candies here, do you want them?"
"Third Aunt can have them, I know you're not full yet, I can still get some goldfish later. It's going to be a lot more difficult to steal the goldfish after grandfather comes back tomorrow." The little one sighed heavily as he finished his sentence.
However, her appetite had been rather voracious recently. Also, her throat was hoarse and thirsty all the time.
This peculiar sensation of thirst made it hard to control her appetite, especially at night.
What's going on?
Helian Wei Wei woke from her idle stupor and sat up straight. Then, she looked at the little one in her embrace while she was deep in her thoughts.
"What's wrong, Third Aunt?" The little one asked with a deep voice, "Are you still hungry? If you're not full yet, I'll steal more from the Imperial Kitchen. When I stole the duck wings earlier, I noticed that they were making steamed meat buns. It smelled delicious, would you like some?"
Helian Wei Wei did not pay any attention to his words, as she could not shake the feeling that something was out of place.
Is it because it's nearly the full moon that my body seems abnormal?
No, that can't be right.
Her reaction was not like this during the last full moon…
As if it were attuned to its master's troubled state of mind, the Alsatian lifted its head and looked at Helian Wei Wei with a concerned gaze.
Helian Wei Wei reached out to pat its head, her elegant brows were slightly scrunched.
A voracious appetite that could not be satisfied no matter how much she ate, and her whole body felt fatigued constantly. Sometimes, she did not even want to move...
