"That's quite true. You understand me rather well." Helian Wei Wei patted the boy on his shoulder. "So, how are you going to blitz the Exorcist City? There are too many demons. Regardlessly, we will need aid from your netherworld's troops, right? Otherwise, how can we rescue the love of your life?"
The son of King of Hell narrowed his crimson eyes. "What do you mean? We're rescuing the love of my life? Obviously I'm helping you out here!"
"Your Little Hook will not be birthed once the Path of Reincarnation is altered, right?" Helian Wei Wei flicked at the "" character on his forehead. "A sly, vicious little fox like you wouldn't be willing to help me if you don't have an agenda."
The son of King of Hell covered his face with his hands and said, "How can you call a child vicious? I'm only a kid, so you shouldn't be a bad influence for me. Anyway, you can forget about netherworld's troops. If they are useful, I would've dragged them with me to pummel those b*stards a long time ago. You should know that anyone who hinders my pursuit of true love are b*stards, right?"
"Yes, I know. Please continue." Helian Wei Wei reckoned that the man who raised a kid like this boy must be a difficult man himself.
The son of King of Hell smiled. "Unfortunately, I can't use them. People of netherworld are most afraid of the Light of Buddha. If they somehow are touched by sanskrits and stab me in the back, I'll lose my love forever. Therefore, I share your stance on this issue. You shooed away the useless exorcists earlier. Only a handful of people dare go against Buddhism nowadays. Of course, your man is an absolute exception. He is a man who can destroy anyone from the three paths. He still got his hands on you anyway even when you were still a Buddha back then. You were an influential figure of Buddhism, yet he dared touch you and even extracted your Dharma Bone."
"Didn't you say that I was reincarnated with Dharma Bones in me?" Helian Wei Wei squinted.
The son of King of Hell furrowed his brows. "I'm not sure about the details. Someone must have found your Dharma Bones and kept it safe. I reckon that it was the work of Bodhisattva. According to the records in the Arbitrary Hell, the Buddhas were furious when you betrayed Buddhism and wanted to punish you with the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation. Nobody was willing to stand up for you. At that time, the Great Demon King had already fallen for a hundred years. He wasn't included in the Six Dao. Bodhisattva heard your sanskrits and transfigured into a human. He relinquished his place as the head of Buddhism and took the punishment on your behalf in the mortal realm in exchange for your incarnation."
"However, he mistook Ni Feng for me." Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows.
The son of King of Hell nodded and continued, "However, don't underestimate him. This man is willing to do anything for you. Therefore, mistaking Ni Feng for you might not be a bad thing after all."
"What do you mean?" Helian Wei Wei looked at the little guy in her hand.
The son of King of Hell smiled and his gaze turned cold. "He never gave up on what he liked even though he knew he couldn't get it. He had to always commit more than anyone else. Do you know what the Phoenix has to go through to be reborn?"
Helian Wei Wei remained silent.
The son of King of Hell met her gaze and continued, "It must bathe in the Flame of Hell of fierce gods and extreme cruelty and go into the Light of Buddha that shines upon the whole world. Only then the Phoenix can be reborn and not get confined by Buddhism and become one of the anomalies in the world. No matter what he does, his ultimate goal is to release you from the chains that bind you. Otherwise, in this life, you're bound to die. He may have mistaken someone else for you, but his goal remains the same. It doesn't matter who Phoenix is. As long as he can successfully attract the Light of Buddha, his goal will be accomplished. He's a meticulous person who will take every variable into account, even himself. Buddhism always says that everyone has their own predestinations. If you want to relive your life, someone will be there to stop you. Meanwhile, if you want to change your fate, you have to be stern on yourself. Bodhisattva's probably someone like this. He's helping you to escape Buddhism's grasp. There is no other way except for this. Of course, everything here is merely my conjecture. Only you guys know what happened back then. My tale only serves to deliver one message, that you must recover your memories. You ought to retrieve them, no matter what they contain, even though this will certainly upset the Great Demon King. He probably doesn't want you to remember these old stories."
"I will definitely be upset." A black feather scr.a.p.ed across the son of King of Hell's face. Baili Jia Jue killed another big demon easily before he advanced toward them and stared at them with his obsidian eyes. "But, before everything else, I want to find out who was the person who bullied her during my fall. I need to take revenge on her behalf."
Still stunned, the son of King of Hell gently rubbed his cheeks. "You still want to kill someone at this moment. Aren't you worried that she actually didn't like you back then? Perhaps you only snatched her by force?"
Baili Jia Jue's eyes briefly lost focus before he elucidated, "I have to be competent to be able to snatch her too."
"Shameless! You're too shameless!" The son of King of Hell was completely defeated by Baili Jia Jue's words.
Helian Weiwei smiled and held Baili Jia Jue's hand before she pulled him closer. "What do you think of my taste?"
"You're proud that your good taste is your only strength?" His Highness would wear a mocking smile when he was in a bad mood despite the fact that he was certainly comforted by her act of holding his hand.
Helian Wei Wei relented. Then, she smiled and answered, "Fine. Don't you think that this was probably one of my strengths back then too?"
Baili Jia Jue raised his eyebrows as he sent a snake monster flying.
Seeing Baili Jia Jue's impressive move, Helian Wei Wei grinned as she added, "I'm saying that, I don't think that I will fall for anyone else, save you."
Chapter 802 - The Ever Controlling Prince
Upon hearing her words, the son of King of Hell, with his claws extended, paused his action. "Woman, are you acting lovey-dovey with your man in front of me?"
Helian Wei Wei disregarded the boy while her eyes fixed solely on Baili Jia Jue.
Being a bossy president and a tycoon who owned an arms company, she must be adept in sweet-talking even at the most dangerous moments, only then she could move her partner.
When His Highness melts into my arms to seek comfort, I must handsomely tell him that love rivals don't exist at all!
However, out of her expectation, the man to throw her a brief glimpse before he scoffed, "Isn't that obvious? Save me, who else can you fall for?"
Then… he resumed beating the monsters!
Helian Wei Wei was rendered speechless. Why do I have the urge of divorcing him everytime he speaks?
However, His Highness was not acting like usual as he unexpectedly spared the monster's life after a few kicks and punches. Then, he turned to look at Helian Wei Wei and said, "Come here."
Helian Wei Wei, being a pregnant woman, did not want to make a fuss over this trivial matter. If His Highness was upset, she might not be able to retrieve her memories.
After she weighed things up, she reckoned that it was a better option for her to obey His Highness and go to him.
She had not arrived before the man before he held her by her wrist and violently pulled her into his arms!
She took in a breath and was immediately overwhelmed by the man's scent — a devilish perfume. He smelled as though he was the beautiful flowers that blossomed in hell, a fragrance that could bewitch everyone.
He would call her over every single time.
He was always controlling.
He's really… urgh!
Smiling, Helian Wei Wei rubbed her face against the man's c.h.e.s.t. "I'm sure you don't want anyone else to snatch my Dharma away from too."
"A stinky lotus wants to lay her hand on you?" Baili Jia Jue painted a disdainful smile across his beautiful lips.
Helian Wei Wei
thought to herself, after all, she is the Golden Lotus of Buddha's gate. How can His Highness deem her worthless?
"I allow you to retrieve your memories," Baili Jia Jue whispered into her ears with his fruity voice, "But, listen, you will always be mine. If you ever have the intention to leave me, I will lock you up in the magical realm. Then, you will never be able to step out of the room.
Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrow. "You think that I wasn't interested in you during my past life?"
"Don't try to provoke me." Baili Jia Jue lowered his head and bit her in her neck as he stared at her with a glint of his crimson, malevolent eyes.
Helian Wei Wei disregarded all the exorcists who had their eyes on them before she turned to kiss the beautiful man on his cheek. She smiled bashfully before she said, "Regardless of what you've done to me, I will always love you, like how I love you now."
"What have I done to you? Apart from making you beg for mercy in bed, what else have I done?" Baili Jia Jue chuckled when he finished his titillating words. His fingers that were running along her spine grew more violent.
The embrace reeked of metallic blood scent. However, she felt reassured lying in his arms.
Helian Wei Wei subconsciously ignored his questions. With her cheeks flushed red, she changed the topic, "Let's head to the city to find the magical mirror."
"Wait a minute." The son of King of Hell toddled forward with an axe in his hand. "I know that both of you are very capable. However, this time, you must neither apply your spiritual energy nor your demonic aura after you entered the city. Otherwise, the enemy will definitely detect your presence. You should think of a way to work with people in the city and enter the city, disguising yourself as a commoner."
Helian Wei Wei gave it a thought before she said, "Isn't it more efficient to just steal the magical mirror?"
"Woman, didn't I tell you that Phoenix must go through hell to be reborn. What place do you think the Exorcist City is? It's a place where flocks of demons gather and hundreds of ghosts patrol at night. It attracts the aura of resentment from heaven and earth, and is even capable of affecting the netherworld. Now, the Exorcist City is no longer a city that belongs to the human world. Increasing numbers of demons are rushing into the city. Worse, these monsters are not there to attack or eat people. Once the Path of Reincarnation is reversed, the Exorcist City will turn into a new gate to Hell. Then, innumerable demons will escape from the ground. They are there to celebrate, and to stop all humans from entering the Exorcist City during this period, not allowing anyone to disturb their banquet that they have been waiting for thousands of years." The son of King of Hell raised his head to stare toward the direction of the Exorcist City, which was located nearby. He further knitted his brows. "Besides, there is an aura of magical beings present within the city. This will not be an easy task."
"Therefore, we need someone to distract them." Baili Jia Jue smirked as he quickly plotted a strategy. He whipped around and yelled at the b.a.r.e plain, "Show yourself!"
The exorcists were deafened by the loud dragon's m.o.a.n!
When they turned around, the clouds instantly shadowed the sky and strong wind blew.
On his left was the ancient Qilin that was capable of summoning the Flame of Hell.
Zhuge Yun took a nervous gulp although he did not completely grasp Helian Wei Wei's words. None of them related her to the Phoenix Girl.
However, the queer relationship was sufficient to challenge his belief.
At this moment, the two most powerful ancient mythical beasts appeared upon his command!
The remaining exorcists stared at the looked the enormous dragon eyes and dragon whiskers, stupefied. They recalled what was recorded in the Exorcism Book. It was an era when demons were running amok, and was also the great exorcist families' most glorious day.
At that time, both human and magical realms were reigned by the Great Demon King.
In order to rid the human world of the demons' harassment, the exorcist families, following God's order, applied the 38 Divine Exorcism Seal, hoping to contain the King who ruled the entire world.
Myth had it that the four ancient mythical beasts followed alongside the man.
In other words… he is the king who can command all demons on earth?
Even Zhuge Yun did not expect him to carry this identity. There was a clunk as the Mahogany Sword in his hand fell onto the ground.
Helian Wei Wei glanced at him and immediately deciphered his reaction. She asked in an indifferent tone, "Why? Are you finding it hard to accept Brother Jue's identity?"
"Not exactly." Zhuge Yun scratched his head. "I always thought this was fictional and had never expected to meet the real hero behind the story. No, no. I mean, didn't he die under the Divine Exorcism Seal? How can he be alive again?"
Baili Jia Jue, who was initially assigning tasks for the Green Dragon and Qilin, heard Zhuge Yun. Immediately, he sneered, "They wanted to take my life with just 38 little yellow runes? Foolish humans."
The Divine Exorcism Seals were merely little yellow runes for him?
Zhuge Yun felt his occupation was immensely humiliated!
Meanwhile, the feeling of humiliation was accompanied by fear.
Only at this moment, all the exorcists noticed that the man who was standing before them was no ordinary human or demon.
His existence was a legend!
If Baili Jia Jue is that fabled man, who is this woman?
Chapter 803 - Lockdown And The Blitz
"Green Dragon and Qilin, both of you head south and try your best to fight those stupid monsters. Perform as usual, like the time I'm with you." After Baili Jia Jue finished his words, he took off his gloves and tossed them aside. Then, he smiled at Helian Wei Wei. "No one has ever beat me in a killing game. Before the rotten flower wants to snatch your identity, she has to ask for my permission."
Helian Wei Wei reckoned that His Highness would never describe Ni Feng with another word. Hmm… he calls her a rotten flower...
"We will head north." Baili Jia Jue lifted his gaze to look at Zhuge Yun. With a wicked grin, he said, "Pull out the thing that you're wearing on your neck."
Stunned, Zhuge Yun widened his eyes, "How did you find out about it?"
"Quit the nonsense. I don't like to fight." Baili Jia Jue furrowed his brows, apparently disgusted. "Besides, I don't like to touch any other human, save Wei Wei."
Zhuge Yun did not hesitate further before he removed the pendant on his neck, "This is the Bodhi, our Zhuge family's heirloom..."
"Dharma Bone! It's the Dharma Bone!" The son of King of Hell rushed forward with his huge axe, his crimson eyes eyes were glowing. "Great Demon King, how did you know that he carries Dharma Bone with him?"
Baili Jia Jue gently curled his thin lips. "I noticed it way earlier, but I didn't know that it was the Dharma Bone until you said that someone's actual form was a rotten Bodhi."
"Jing Wushuang is the only Bodhi on the Xumi Mountain. Millions of Gods and Buddhas have to walk past him before they became Buddha. You don't really have to call him rotten." The son of King of Hell reckoned that Baili Jia Jue was not pleased at the fact that another man was doing more for Helian Wei Wei than him.
Baili Jia Jue's finger stroke across the boy's neck and said, "You have a different opinion?"
"No, I don't!" The son of King of Hell held his neck and gazed at Helian Weiwei. Please tell your man to stay calm. It's not good for him to always want to kill!
Helian Wei Wei gently pulled Baili Jia Jue's hand and said, "The Dharma Bone can conceal your aura. We will enter from the north gate while Green Dragon and Qilin will be guarding the south gate. Are you planning to divert their attention?"
"I want to kill everyone who are plotting against you." Baili Jia Jue lowered his gaze and smiled. "You are mine, but it seems like these people have trouble acknowledging this fact."
Helian Wei Wei looked at him, "Is your demonic aura overflowing? Why do you sound so bloodthirsty?"
"Unless you go missing, otherwise, nothing else makes me bloodthirsty." Baili Jia Jue's crimson eyes grew darker. "Let me ask you something."
"What?" Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows.
Baili Jia Jue leaned forward and whispered in her ears, "If one day you have to choose between the magical realm and Buddhism, what would be your decision?"
"Have you recalled something?" Helian Wei Wei reckoned that something was amiss.
Baili Jia Jue spoke in a softer tone, "I merely recalled some unimportant scenes. When I was looking for you in the royal tomb, some images flashed across my mind. However, none of these matters. The only thing that matters is your decision."
Helian Wei Wei continued to hold his hand as she replied with a lazy tone, "I'll choose the magical realm."
"You're lying." Baili Jia Jue's red eyes were glowing as though they were filled with turbulent blood.
Helian Wei Wei paused before she reached out to pinch the absurdly handsome face. "Why would I lie? Listen, I don't care what's on your mind. Regardlessly, I will follow you wherever you go. You are so handsome, but why are you so insecure?"
"I am not insecure." Baili Jia Jue tilted his head arrogantly before she pulled her over. "After you enter the city, regardless of what you see in the magical mirror, you must remember your current choice. No matter where you go, you have to repeat a hundred times, saying that you love me. It's rare to find a good master like me."
