The bigger fetus snorted, and said with his adorably cool and proud voice, "How stupid, taking revenge is the most basic criteria for us devils. Doesn't this venomous spider have any common sense at all? Or did it think that Father would go easy on it? That pleading stare is futile, because Father is very vengeful. He won't stop until he killed his target."
The smaller fetus thought so too. However, he was curious that Father suddenly paused and released his pressure on the spider. He merely stood there straight as a ramrod, while smiling warmly and saying, "You like to eat?"
"What is Father doing, is he going to treat that idiotic spider to a meal?" The twins exchanged glances and became more excited than ever.
The venomous spider did not expect the man to ask such a question, so it was quite taken aback. However, it quickly heaved a sigh of relief.
Since he was starting to chit-chat, this must mean that he would not take my life now!
The venomous spider tried to contain its outpouring delight, before nodding once again.
It was not its fault for harboring this kind of thought, as His Highness seemed too elegant and friendly.
"Then, finish all of these," Baili Jia Jue raised his chin with a grin, and used his gaze to signal the venomous spider to look below its feet.
However, when it followed his gaze, the excitement on its face faded instantly.
"Heh, heh heh. King, are… Are you mistaken?" the venomous spider asked with a trembling voice, desperately hoping for a silver lining.
Baili Jia Jue indifferently tidied his sleeves as he grinned and replied, "Of course not, these are the ones. Go ahead and eat."
"But these are rocks!" the venomous spider howled uncontrollably, it was on the verge of tears.
Hearing that, Baili Jia Jue raised his foot again and stepped mercilessly on the venomous spider's last remaining limb. The sound of the crushing bone resonated in the chamber seemed extremely painful to anyone that heard it. However, Baili Jia Jue was still grinning with his eyes slightly raised, as he uttered, "Why? You don't want to eat it?"
The venomous spider dared not question further and shouted agonizingly, as it endured the torturous pain, "I want to eat! I want to!"
"Eat it yourself then, do you still expect me to feed you?"
Bang!
This time, its face was squashed with another stomp.
The venomous spider immediately cried and shook its head, but its voice became muffled as its mouth was crushed, mumbling, "I-I'll eat it myself, eat it myself!"
Then, it picked up a small stone using its crippled limb, but it hesitated slightly.
Baili Jia Jue did not move, but merely stared at it with a smile on his face.
The venomous spider firmly shut its eyes. It dared not look again and swallowed the stone.
Without even imagining it, Helian Wei Wei knew how harrowing it was to swallow a stone just by looking at it.
The venomous spider was indeed in pain. Fortunately, its body was much bigger, so swallowing a stone would not claim his life. However, it was extremely painful for its throat. Just when it thought that things would end after swallowing it, Baili Jia Jue's gentle voice echoed again, "Have some more, I could knock down some more for you if it's not enough."
In a blink of an eye, the venomous spider's face turned as pale as sheets when it heard him.
"I-I'm actually not that hungry, hehehe." The venomous spider was struggling.
Meanwhile, Baili Jia Jue walked toward Helian Wei Wei and gently brush her injured ankle with his right hand. His gaze instantly turned bitterly cold, like a sharp diamond that was glimmering, as he growled, "Eat!"
One word was enough to make the venomous spider coughed out blood from its throat. Thus, without further delay, it quickly lowered its head and shoved another stone into his mouth.
The venomous spider only felt pain and his upset stomach was incredibly bloated.
Nonetheless, it had no choice but to keep eating, as the King's eyes were fixed on him.
It did not know the consequences it would face if it were to stop.
Its esophagus was jam-packed to the point that it could not squeeze anything in.
The extreme pain of its bloating tummy made the venomous spider began to cry.
If anyone asked it the most regretted choice it made in life, it would be capturing a pregnant woman and hunger for her fetus, thus angering someone that it should never have.
The venomous spider's slowed down gradually as it was becoming increasingly difficult for it to even open its mouth.
Both of the fetuses in the w.o.m.b gulped upon witnessing this.
The lovely twins finally understood what it meant by 'he'll make sure to let you do whatever you want to do to the fullest'.
This was clearly overdone, the dumb spider's stomach was going to burst if it continued eating.
"Big brother." The smaller fetus pressed his head against the bigger fetus.
The bigger fetus kept his eyes on the spider and his voice was low as he replied, "Hmm?"
"Don't mess with Father when you get out in the future." This time, the smaller fetus spoke affirmatively, as if to warn the bigger fetus. He was worried that his big brother could not defeat his father.
The bigger fetus narrowed his big eyes, saying, "This old man is much more shameless than what I had in mind."
The smaller fetus thought silently to himself… This is not about being shameless anymore.
"But, this method of his is good!" The bigger fetus' voice was particularly energized when he said this.
The smaller fetus thought to himself again... Are you sure it's okay for you to accept it so quickly... He felt like he needed to communicate with Mother so that she would pay more attention to big brother's prenatal education. What were they going to do if he grew up with a twisted mind?
"If anyone dares to eat you in the future, big brother will use this method to deal with them!" The bigger fetus wrapped his arms around the smaller fetus and spoke proudly, "No one is allowed to bully you."
The smaller fetus smiled, "Yeah!" Forget about it, all that matters is that big brother's happy. Who cares if he's giving others a hard time. Besides, mother has always taught us to apply what we've learned.
If Helian Wei Wei heard this, she would probably think to herself… Is this how you interpret 'apply what you learned"?
Unable to hear the twins' conversation, the venomous spider wanted nothing more but to die. As it was tearing up, it observed how Baili Jia Jue was being protective over Helian Wei Wei and suddenly, an idea came to its mind.
Could, could it be that this human is pregnant with the King's baby?
The venomous spider widened its eyes again, then...
It felt sick.
The gurgling acid reflux made it turned ghastly pale, but it could not throw up as its mouth was blocked with stones.
Baili Jia Jue seemed to have seen through its mind. As he walked toward it, his whispered in its ear in a deep devilish tone, "If you throw up, you'll have to eat them again."
The venomous spider's mouth was crooked, as it painfully tried to continue swallowing the stone. However, that stone shredded its throat, causing it to begin bleeding. The spider was having its last breaths now.
Baili Jia Jue looked at it and smiled in satisfaction.
Shortly after, he gradually deepened his voice and coldly said, " Didn't you say that you merely thought about it? Then let me tell you this. She's my prey, you should not even think about it."
Chapter 780 - Wei Wei Made Right Guess Of The Babies
Bang!
Lastly, Baili Jia Jue landed his foot on the poisonous spider's belly!
There was no need for him to use a lot of strength to make the poisonous spider suffer because it was on its dying breath as more and more blood spurt out from its throat. Hence, death was unstoppable.
Helian Wei Wei silently watched as the scene unfolded, she thought to herself that this Mr. Spider must never have thought that it wou
ld die from overeating one day.
As a matter of fact, dying from overeating was an extremely slow process and it was much more miserable than being dead because of a thousand cuts.
The poisonous spider would keep that last breath shortly, and then it would rather be dead than alive!
After finishing off the poisonous spider, Baili Jia Jue turned back again but this time, the smile had evidently vanished from his face and as his eyes fell on Helian Wei Wei's wound again, countless black feathers fell behind him and there were even a few cracks on the rocks beneath his feet!
"If I hadn't been able to find you, I'll crush all the living and non-living creatures in here," his tone was the same as before and it was so light that no one could decipher his emotion.
Yet, Helian Wei Wei knew clearly at that moment, he meant what he said.
Anyone could tell that just by looking at the graveyard's stone walls that he had smashed through.
It just depended on which side he would rather show the world.
In her presence, he would even clean off the bloodstains from the people that he had killed before letting her open her eyes.
It was as if he was trying to maintain his best image in her heart or refraining himself from doing many things because she was around.
For instance, Ni Hu's repeated provocations.
If His Highness was alone, even without contemplating, Helian Wei Wei knew the kind of horrible death that awaited Ni Hu.
His Highness was fully capable of making him suffer like the poisonous spider to the point that he would feel that death was a relief from life.
Be it his birth mother or his Imperial Father, he was despised from a very young age.
It was not that she had never seen how he was during his childhood, but it was exactly because she had seen it so she could feel the pain.
Maybe, this was how it felt like to love someone.
Helian Wei Wei reached out her arms to hug His Highness as she chuckled, "Don't worry, I'm not hurt, you came just in the nick of time."
The man's tall figure paused shortly and all the hostility turned into gentleness as he slowly extended his hands. He then pushed her head close to melt into his embrace and pursed his thin lips. "It's too late to flatter me now, but this will only happen once!"
The last sentence was directed to himself.
The moment Helian Wei Wei disappeared, Baili Jia Jue finally had a taste of remorse as described by the humans.
Be it a human or a devil.
He had never known regret.
Nothing could escape his hands.
Nonetheless, he felt regretful at that moment, he blamed himself for not holding this id*ot's hands and he was remorseful for not finding this freaking spider out to kill it in the first place!
Baili Jia Jue's arms tightened and his deep voice was like that of quicksand, "I should really lock you up so that you can't go anywhere else."
"That won't do because I need to find Sarira to feed our babies," Helian Wei Wei smiled beautifully and shortly after, she seemingly recalled something and narrowed her bright eyes. "Why would that spider say that there's plenty of spiritual aura in my stomach, isn't it supposed to be magical aura? How strange!"
Baili Jia Jue raised his eyebrows, "In other words, you were targeted because of the little fellow in your belly."
Helian Wei Wei replied in the affirmative, "That's not the point here."
"I'd said before, the brat is already a troublemaker even before it's born," Baili Jia Jue was unsatisfied about the brat for a long time now. Even if it was his child but that did not stop him from despising it.
The bigger fetus heard what Baili Jia Jue said and protested immediately, "If you were to say about troublemaker, Imperial Father would be the one!"
The smaller fetus did not respond to the bigger fetus as it was thinking about something with its tiny head hung low.
The bigger fetus continued to snort, "If it wasn't for Imperial Father's who was a womanizer back then, there wouldn't be a fake Phoenix Girl that would come and fight over the Sarira with Imperial Mother. Besides causing a mess in the Capital, she has not only disturbed Imperial Mother but also tainted me with Qi of Yin! Leaving Imperial Mother having no choice but to enter the graveyard..."
"It's all because of me," The smaller fetus interrupted the bigger fetus dispirited."Imperial Mother wouldn't lose her spiritual aura and martial Qi if it wasn't for me. I have thought it through, big brother would always eat whatever you catch outside but I've to rely on spiritual aura to maintain my current appearance. Imperial Mother lost her spiritual aura when I took form, not to mention that the poisonous spider targeted Imperial Mother because of the scent I gave off. Perhaps Imperial Mother would be better off if I don't exist."
The bigger fetus only looked at the smaller fetus without saying a word.
Shortly after, he embraced the smaller fetus, dismissing his pride but keeping his gentleness. "If you were to put it that way, then I should be the one who shouldn't exist because I'm Imperial Mother's nemesis. At the moment, I have brought in a large amount of Qi of Yin to her being in her stomach alone. Wait until I'm born, I may not only lose my senses but will most likely harm our Imperial Mother. Whenever I think about this, I feel that I might as well just stay in Imperial Mother's belly forever, or never existed, at least this way, Imperial Mother won't be in danger."
"No, you must be here." The smaller fetus lowered its head again. "You're so useful, you can even protect Imperial Mother when in need."
The bigger fetus did not retort.
The smaller fetus went silent too.
Both of them hugged each other for warmth but they could not find a way around their thoughts.
Helian Wei Wei c.a.r.e.s.sed her abdomen as though she had noticed what was going on in her stomach and her motion was gentler than before. With both of her eyes fixed on Baili Jia Jue, she parted her lips in a clear voice, "He's not a burden, he's the one I loved the most after you."
Baili Jia Jue was not prepared for the sudden confession and he held out his hand to cover Helian Wei Wei's eyes before pressing his thin lips against hers. His breath was warm.
Helian Wei Wei enjoyed the familiar mint scent and rested herself in his arms. She allowed him to examine her wound and her fingers may be weak but she did not forget the matter at hand, "You always think that our baby is a devil, right?"
"Yes," Baili Jia Jue's immersive eyes were fixated on Helian Wei Wei's bleeding ankle, but who knew what was on his mind.
Helian Wei Wei frowned, "Yet, the poisonous spider said that the baby in me possesses spiritual aura and its sense of smell should be accurate, unless..."
Chapter 781 - His Highness’ Submission
Helian Wei Wei's eyes suddenly lit up and her long legs which were originally straight bent forward. Surprisingly, the excitement was clear on her face. "There are two babies in my belly! That's it! It must be!" Helian Wei Wei glanced at Baili Jia Jue as delight filled her eyes. "As a father, it's likely that you have overlooked the other baby's scent because the magic in one of them is too strong. However, for other magical beings, they couldn't feel the latter's magic because it had managed to conceal its scent being in me. In this case, other magical beings would be able to smell the former baby's weak spiritual aura which is now exposed. That was why the magical being in the Well Sea Waterfall wanted to come after me on our way to the ancient tomb but failed because you scared it away. Think about it carefully, if it had the d.e.s.i.r.e to eat someone, it should have gone after Zhuge Yun who possesses spiritual aura instead of me, isn't it? To make sense of the situation, it must be the baby!" Helian Wei Wei's eyes gleamed brighter as she continued while c.a.r.e.s.sing her belly. Her tone became soft and gentle as though she could tolerate the entire world with her gentleness when the topic was revolving around children. If Old Li was present at the moment, he would find it familiar, unfortunately, he was not around.
Helian Wei Wei merely focused on mumbling ceaselessly to B
aili Jia Jue, "Two babies, but there's only a pair of tiger-head shoes in the palace, even the clothes only came in a set too, not to mention that Imperial Grandfather has only ordered the palace servants to build a single dragon cradle. Now, it seems like it's necessary to add another set. Also, those small bowls and chopsticks are all in boyish design because you mentioned previously that one of them is a boy. How about another one? Would it be a boy or a girl? If it's a girl, then they'll have to prepare things based on the specifications of a princess. It seems like we still have a lot of work to do when we get back. I'm curious to know if these two kids will fight or hug each other tightly when they're put together. When the time comes, let's get both of them to carry a tiny bag each to the White Academy - I believe they will look extremely adorable!
The smaller fetus went blank upon hearing Helian Wei Wei's remarks. Its initial sense of guilt was gradually filled with warmth. It laid its eyes on the bigger fetus with a cute expression. "Imperial Mother found out about me. Brother, our Mother is aware of my existence now!"
"Yes." The bigger fetus lowered its head, learning the way their Imperial Mother touched them and utilize his knowledge to stroke the smaller fetus' head. "Moreover, I can tell that our Mother adores you, looking at how jovial she is."
The smaller fetus saw for itself. It then turned its huge pair of eyes toward its brother as it uttered in a gentle yet solemn tone, "Elder brother, we must get out together. We mustn't let our Imperial Mother down."
"Sure." The bigger fetus asserted as it wrapped its arms around the smaller fetus.
The bigger fetus was about half a head taller than the smaller fetus now. At first, both were just two tiny figures and could not even be considered as babies. However, even if the bigger fetus had an arrogant expression similar to that of an a.d.u.l.t, when it hugged the smaller fetus, his rage when seizing dead souls was nowhere to be found. Instead, it had the looks of a good elder brother. It even took the initiative to lower its head and kiss the smaller fetus' forehead. The scene was filled with inexplicable warmth and cuteness.
