However, at this very moment, Helian Wei Wei drew the Seventh Prince closer to her and tiptoed several meters backward. Then, she stood upright and gazed up at the Green Dragon.
When the Green Dragon heard that someone wanted to eat it, it let out a sneer and bared its claws, itching to destroy it.
A murderous glare flashed in its eyes as someone else had stolen its prey.
But as an ancient mythical beast, it was naturally gifted with manners, unlike those common beasts.
Greetings must first be exchanged before murdering someone.
"Human." Green Dragon looked at Helian Wei Wei and slowly opened its mouth. "Put down the little one and I will forgive you for waking me up. Otherwise, I shall pulverize you all into ground meat."
Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows at the Green Dragon when she realized that it was communicating with her through her stream of consciousness. She squinted her eyes and said, "I'm sorry for waking you up. But as you can see, our academy is doing a summoning experiment and I have no idea what just happened. I apologize for summoning you here but I can't let you have this little one."
"Human, you are very brave. However," Green Dragon thrashed its giant tail and sneered, "no one has ever managed to escape after making me angry."
Its gigantic claw came crashing down upon saying that.
The whole academy was shaking as its claw struck the ground.
The academy students ran helter-skelter, tripping over each other and dropping their possessions after the attack.
Helian Wei Wei carried up the little boy and dodged instantly.
The Green Dragon raised its claw and threw a spiteful glare at all of them. Then, it struck again!
Helian Wei Wei thought she could avoid this hit too, but to her surprise, the Green Dragon's claw was filled with immense ferocity this time!
Helian Wei Wei might have managed to evade being crushed by the claw but all her internal organs started to convulse after being struck by the ferocious aura. Then, she fell onto the ground.
The Green Dragon thought she would definitely die this time.
While it was planning for a second strike.
Swoosh!
Helian Wei Wei speedily rose, with her fingers clasped around an umbrella. She flew into the air and released the little one she rescued to safety with a quick dive.
She turned around with spectacular beauty.
She instantly grabbed onto the iron chains shackling the Green Dragon with her left hand!
Roar!
A dragon roar could be heard.
The noise made everyone cover their ears.
Lightning flashed and thunder roared as the clouds and wind furiously billowed.
But Helian Wei Wei stood firm in the eye of the storm, with her hands still gripping tightly to the iron chains. She had no intention of letting it go.
Green Dragon turned its head, trying to shake her off. But without the Green Dragon realizing, she had climbed onto its back!
"Hey, Dragon Boss, do you want to be free from these chains?" Helian Wei Wei, with a speck of blood at the corner of her mouth, rode onto the dragon's back and said excitedly. "I can help free you if you want, but only on one condition, you must obey me forever!"
Green Dragon snorted, "Human, are you dreaming? Do you know what this iron chain is made from? It was made from the finest black ice iron and stamped with the seal of an ancient god. Do you think you can undo it?"
"God's seal only has an effect on beasts, but I am not one," Helian Wei Wei thinned her lips and said. "Furthermore, it's not too difficult to unlock these chains. Every machinery has its button, you just have to search for it."
Green Dragon fell silent for a moment and then said, "I have sworn my loyalty to one person a very long time ago. Even though he has vanished, I am still waiting for him. Hence, I cannot obey you."
"It's no big deal," Helian Wei Wei rubbed the back of her hand. "We shall not be bound by any contract. You only have to assist me three times. Should you fulfill your duties, I will unleash you to roam free and search for your owner. You are trapped here anyway and will not be able to sense it even if your owner comes searching for you, so why not cooperate with me instead? What do you think?"
The Green Dragon squinted as it writhed in the clouds, "Are you sure you can unlock the black ice iron chain?"
"Yes." Helian Wei Wei gazed down at the iron chains resting in her palms. "But I would need some time. Dragon Boss, please stop moving for now as I will have to be responsible for the deaths of the people you trampled on. After all, I am the one who summoned you."
The Green Dragon muttered in agreement, as it pondered curiously how a human could have the ability to summon it.
However, it did not think much about it.
It had been trapped in these iron chains for too long.
1000 years ago.
The palace was ruined and its owner had disappeared.
It sought revenge against humankind so it traversed across the world, razing countless villages and cities to the ground.
However, this angered the gods and they locked it under the lake, and 1000 years had since passed.
Throughout the 1000 years, he was filled with fury in the beginning. It slowly evolved into disappointment, before finally turning into a funereal calmness.
When it accepted the fact that its owner was no longer around, it lost all interest in the human world.
Ultimately, it decided to go into a deep slumber under the lake.
It had forgotten the smell of the sunlight.
If it was not for this little girl, it would have remained completely oblivious and waited for its owner with a dying hope.
At last, it could finally be free from this chain!
No matter how reserved Green Dragon was, the light emanating from both its pupils was enough to tell Helian Wei Wei how much it wanted to escape from the cage.
Helian Wei Wei wasted no time in tracing the iron chains and swiftly dove down to hunt for the head of the chain.
The academy students were not sure what had happened. Seeing that the Green Dragon was moving its enormous mouth, they had assumed that it was munching on Helian Wei Wei's bones and she was completely swallowed into his stomach.
Helian Jiao Er laughed devilishly. Who would have thought that the b*tch demise was going to be her own fault?
This makes me unbelievably happy!
However, Yun Biluo did not think it would have ended so easily as she had lost contact with the Bloody Snake that should be answering her.
How could this be?
Yun Biluo raised her head, feeling puzzled. At that very moment, she saw Helian Wei Wei climbing down the iron chains!
She didn't die!
She is attempting to unlock the chains!
Once the chains are unlocked, the dragon god will recognize her as its owner!
I have to stop her!
Yun Biluo's eyes were beaming, the black blood seeped into the underground as she dropped her arms. She was muttering some sort of chant.
Bang!
The underground creatures began to rumble into life.
Her bloodshot eyes shivered as though being flashed by a blinding light. As she was trying to get up, she found her way was being blocked by a long-haired silhouette in a dark robe.
The person was exceptionally good-looking with a cold noble figure and was clad in a long robe. Appearing without gusting up any dust, he wore an ambiguous smile on his face.
Bloody Snake felt great fear rising from the bottom of its heart, coursing through its veins and choking him, thus completely paralyzing him.
Who is this person...
The Fire Qilin was unperturbed by the reaction of the Bloody Snake.
His esteemed owner would always be graceful and condescending. He would not easily reveal his ability.
However, once he sprung into action, he could send all the beasts into shudders by simply raising his eyebrows.
The enemy did not seem to comprehend this.
It even bared its sharp, disgusting venomous fangs.
Fire Qilin had never liked snakes. These gloomy and cold creatures were Fire Qilin's natural enemies.
The Bloody Snake had not seen the Fire Qilin as Baili Jia Jue had yet to unleash it.
The Bloody Snake had gradually recovered from the shock and started to flick its tongue. Hiss, hiss. Its evil, greedy eyes narrowed as it hissed. It was ready to bite off the neck of the man standing in front of it.
Baili Jia Jue carried the Wings of the Grim Reaper with one hand and stared at it coldly. "Are you the one who released that disgusting smell?"
Pitter-patter...
Another drop of black blood dripped down the snake's head.
"It was me. Hahaha! Never have thought that a human can notice my existence. But, it doesn't matter as you are going to die!" The Bloody Snake's pupils shrank as it was speaking. Then, it lunged at Baili Jia Jue!
However, Baili Jia Jue stood there, not moving at all. The fox fur robe he wore was plain. The glistering furs were not blown out of place by the wind.
The Bloody Snake opened its mouth. He raised his hand and flung it a few meters away before it managed to bite him!
"Foolish." Scathing cold words were muttered.
As the man steadily approached, the Bloody Snake felt an unprecedented danger.
It shook its huge head and sneakily lashed its tail, whirling up a huge amount of dust and gravel.
Baili Jia Jue squinted his eyes as he walked into the middle of the gravel with his slender legs. His fingers were wrapped in black gloves, hanging freely on his side.
"Tsk tsk tsk. Why can't you get it?"
In the smokescreen of dust, Baili Jia Jue's eyes were gleaming with coldness. The smile on his face turned sinister and murderous.
Upon seeing this, the Bloody Snake ran even faster!
He had never seen any human that could walk out from the whirling gravel!
Baili Jia Jue opened his mouth and bit off his gloves, thus, exposing the black vine-like scars on his wrist.
The Bloody Snake's expression changed completely after seeing that familiar sear. Without any hesitation, it soared up into the sky.
Helian Wei Wei was still clinging to the long chain. As she was climbing down the chain, a seven-feet giant python abruptly appeared from her back!
It looked at her as though she was some fresh food.
It opened its bloody mouth, wanting to gulp her down into its stomach.
She had no time to attend to it. As she was about to avoid it, a splashing sound was heard.
God knows whose martial Qi was so powerful that it could have a specific form like a tall mirror wall, slamming the giant python against the surface of the lake.
After the burst of silver light, the ferocious python lost all of its aura of killing. It was barely breathing as it had come to a dead end.
Its mouth moved slightly as though it was calling for someone.
However, it received no response.
Helian Wei Wei was stunned, unable to process what had just happened. Just then, she saw a man who was holding the Wings of the Grim Reaper with one hand. He looked noble in his long robe and his waist-long hair was as dark as ink.
Murderous bloodshed was happening on the Green Dragon Lake. Baili Jia Jue's moves could not be seen clearly after the flashing of silver light. However, the forlorn and shrill moan of the giant python could be heard high up in the sky. In the blink of an eye, the giant python was slammed from the lake's surface onto the ground. The vibrations set the White Academy quaking for some time.
The students of the White Academy did not know what had happened as it was shrouded by clouds.
Baili Jia Jue placed the sword back into its sheath. He ended the fight without a drop of blood staining him. He was looking at Helian Wei Wei condescendingly with no expression.
I have never seen someone who rescues people with such arrogance!
Helian Wei Wei raised her brow. Her cognition toward His Highness had reached a whole new level.
The clueless students gasped in astonishment upon knowing the appearance of the Bloody Snake.
Why would such an evil beast appear in the academy?
Who summoned it?
How was it done?
The teacher was looking at the giant head of the snake with lingering fear. His forehead was covered in cold sweats.
If no one had killed the snake, then it could have wrought great havoc and eat up many students.
Furthermore, its body was covered in fatal toxins and it loved to feast on human blood.
Such vicious creatures should not be allowed to appear outside the Forest of Fantasy.
This... what has gone wrong?
The teacher lifted his head as his fingers were trembling. Then, he looked over his head and saw the Green Dragon that seemed to have fallen asleep; even its eyes were half-closed.
He thought that the dragon god was so infuriated that he would not be relieved even if it swallowed humans.
That was why it decided not to return and would stay in the White Academy. This had caused the teacher to feel distressed.
He was clueless about the fact that the Green Dragon obeyed Helian Wei Wei's instruction to go into a light sleep. When the Mysterious Ice Iron Lock was unlocked, it would definitely get in touch with its dragon scales. If it stayed awake, the dragon scales would turn into flames and hurt Helian Wei Wei.
At that moment, Yun Biluo held firmly onto her left shoulder as she moved a step back. No one seemed to realize that she spat a mouthful of black blood as the giant python fell.
She leaned against the tree trunk as she was unable to hold on. Her eyes stared deeply into the fog.
No one knew what happened under the thick layers of fog.
Little Bald Head stood up after pondering for a moment. Then, he proudly asked the beast he brought along, "Was the one who attacked my Third Brother?"
"Master, it was indeed the Third Prince." A little one who was slightly bigger than Little Bald Head appeared out of nowhere and obediently answered his question. Then, it disappeared.
Little Seventh Prince calmly replied, "There is nothing to be worried about. My Third Brother will definitely be with Third Aunt. The snake looks good, clean it up and we will roast it tonight."
"Yes." The little one understood his owner well. It was merely a Bloody Snake. They had eaten a dragon, a snake would be a walk in the park! Hurry up and clean it! Since it despised snakes, it was better to have fewer snakes!
Jing Wushuang stood in the midst of chaos with a green and white robe, appearing like precious jade. He placed his hands at the corner of his mouth and coughed while rubbing something with his thumb. Then, he turned to his side and looked at the Green Dragon.
Jealousy intensified in Helian Jiao Er's heart as she noticed his gaze.
She is merely a hideous dark-skinned woman.
Why does Master Wushuang value her so much?
However, it would be unnecessary for her to intervene any further. It would take less than an hour for her to be completely digested after being swallowed by the dragon god!
Ha. She would just wait for the dragon god to spit out the bones of that little bastard!
In the meantime, Helian Wei Wei had found the source of the iron chain. She did not ask Baili Jia Jue why he was here.
She emerged with water dripping from her hair while carrying the dangling hairpin that she brought from the ground in her mouth. She was soaked thoroughly.
A chill menace surrounded the lake's surface as the wind blew.
The Mysterious Ice Iron Chain in her hand felt extremely cold. It would be impossible for a normal person to hold it.
Helian Wei Wei's eyes remained bright. It was not because she was in perfect health. On the contrary, she was on her period, and thus, she did not feel well.
However, she had to fulfill the promise that she had made to the Green Dragon.
Helian Wei Wei examined the iron lock. Her eyes were gleaming with coldness.
"Woman, use your martial Qi," Yuan Ming uttered, "Otherwise, you will not be able to unlock the Mysterious Ice Iron Lock."
Helian Wei Wei obeyed. Her fingers were slightly moving and her long sleeves fluttered. With her piercing voice, she ordered, "Under my command, I summon the power of the winds and clouds in the sky!"
Whoosh!
The surrounding fog dispersed reactively and the temperature of the Mysterious Ice Iron began to change.
Within that short period of time, Helian Wei Wei quickly fit the dangling hairpin into the lock and turned it twice, forming the clicking sound.
Just then, a thud sound was heard!
The iron lock had been unlocked!
It sank into the Green Dragon Lake along with the blood from Helian Wei Wei's cut finger.
Plop. It shook the entire Green Dragon Lake.
Thump...
Thump!
The sounds were muffled as though someone's heartbeat was reviving.
None of the students in the White Academy knew what was going on.
Everyone raised their heads and looked into the sky upon hearing this unusual commotion.
They could see the Green Dragon's eyes suddenly tremored!
Viridescent light illuminated in its eyes. It was so mighty as if it could pierce through the ninth heaven, brewing storms.
At that very moment.
The teacher was totally dumbfounded and muttered, "This is the Green Dragon, one of the four ancient mythical beasts. The Green Dragon has awakened... It has truly awakened!"
Little Seventh Prince was still holding the wooden stick as he crouched in the corner, poking the Bloody Snake's head. He raised his vibrant little face as he heard the news of the awakening of the Green Dragon. He muttered to himself, "Now that it's awake, I can't eat it anymore."
Where are you, Dean? Please bring this child back!
The teacher almost burst into tears while the Little Seventh Prince's expression remained unchanged for being slightly disappointed.
However, he did not forget to console the others even though he was disappointed. "It's fine, teacher. We may not have the dragon meat, but we still have the snake meat."
Who cares about that!
Speaking to the Little Seventh Prince is more difficult than to fight the dragon god!
Little Seventh Prince looked at the teacher with a confused expression. He wondered why his Third Brother was not back with his Third Aunt yet.
Is my Third Brother still thinking about helping me to fight over the dragon?
Hmm... It's fine even if I can't eat the dragon meat.
Needless to say, the Little Seventh Prince was really overthinking!
Among the students, only Yun Biluo's expression was not quite right. However, she must not let anyone notice it.
Especially her bitten left hand. Fortunately, the teachers' skills were still unpolished, hence, they might not realize it.
However, if Tu Sufeng was here, he would know that the emergence of the Bloody Snake was suspicious.
In fact, she would not have been able to summon the Bloody Snake to work for her by just relying on her ability.
Most importantly, in this situation... she had an ally.
Yun Biluo closed her eyes for a brief moment. When she looked up, the Green Dragon had broken free from the Mysterious Ice Iron Chain. It swung its tail and the water splashed in all directions.
Yun Biluo's eyes blinked as she dashed toward the little one. With a quick turn, she brought him to the corner.
Little Seventh Prince looked at her angrily.
Yun Biluo had never met such a difficult child. However, she had predicted him to be much smarter than usual kids as he was His Highness's brother.
She leaned weakly on the side. She then asked him with a smile, "Are you hurt?"
The Little Seventh Prince really could not understand. Why did she rush toward him abruptly in the midst of his deep thoughts?
But the next moment, he understood.
A slender figure was standing not far away. It was none other than his Third Brother.
Naturally, Yun Biluo had seen Baili Jia Jue. Her head was slightly tilted and her eyes were red. She quietly stared at the man who was approaching them as if her gaze was filled with a thousand words.
Helian Wei Wei landed on the ground as the pain in her abdomen worsened, leaving behind the Green Dragon to savor his long-lost freedom.
In the middle of the commotion, no one could see clearly.
But, Helian Wei Wei knew that the two of them had finally met.
"His Highness." Yun Biluo was the first to speak. She stood up unsteadily as if she had spent a considerable amount of energy in saving the Little Seventh Prince.
The Little Seventh Prince expressed his innocence with his thick brows, frowning as usual.
Baili Jia Jue kept quiet and stared at Yun Biluo.
Helian Wei Wei caressed her wrist which was injured by the dragon's claw as she was feeling a burning sensation now. She took a deep breath and suddenly felt that the weight had been lifted off her chest. She no longer owed him anything as the true owner had appeared.
In the future, they could live their own lives without interfering with each other's life.
It seemed like the preparations she made were useless.
After all, it was not all in vain. If Baili Jia Jue insisted on making her stay as Yun Biluo's shield, she still had ways to maneuver.
Regardless of whenever or wherever Helian Wei Wei was, she could always remain calm and analyzed the pros and cons of a situation within the shortest possible time.
However, Baili Jia Jue's eyes were dark and deep. He was somewhat unfathomable.
Helian Wei Wei also did not pay much attention to her surroundings as the Green Dragon had stopped thrashing around.
The fog dispersed. Finally, everyone could see Helian Wei Wei who was standing in the middle of the yard.
How could this happen?
Wasn't she swallowed and crushed by the dragon god?
Helian Jiao Er was stunned as she stared at Helian Wei Wei resentfully.
Helian Wei Wei was unconcerned and held her abdomen casually.
"Woman, are you feeling uncomfortable?" Mythological beasts were one with their contractual masters. Thus, Whitey knew Helian Wei Wei's physical condition well enough.
Indeed, Helian Wei Wei was not feeling well. She had not properly nurtured her physical state and the Mysterious Ice Iron had taken away all the heat in her body. As a result, it caused her abdomen to be in extreme pain.
Hence, she could not care less about Helian Jiao Er.
However, Helian Jiao Er had always been persistent. She reached out her hands to support Yun Biluo. Then, she lowered her voice and accused Helian Wei Wei, "Elder sister, you shouldn't have provoked the dragon god if you did not have the ability. Sister Yun was injured for saving the Seventh Prince and many of us were helpless because of the sudden appearance of the dragon god..."
"That's right, that's right!"
"Great! The dragon god has appeared! If it continues to cause destruction, then the entire White Academy will be flooded."
Everyone incessantly lamented among themselves.
Yun Biluo gently nodded and said with a hoarse voice, "This situation is unavoidable. It's fine as long as there aren't any injuries or deaths."
Hearing that as an excuse, many still felt that Helian Wei Wei was unable to tame the dragon.
Yun Biluo was unaware that Helian Wei Wei had unlocked the Mysterious Ice Iron Chain, otherwise why the Green Dragon did not yield to Helian Wei Wei's command.
She had presumed that this was because the Blood Serpent Beast disrupted when Helian Wei Wei tried unlocking it.
Helian Jiao Er, who was standing beside Yun Biluo, inquired, "What about the wound on Elder Sister Yun's body? "
Yun Biluo looked down tenderly at the little one and lightly shook her head. Her expression seemed to imply that she would be fine, as long as nothing ill happened to the Seventh Prince.
In stark contrast, this caused Helian Wei Wei who had created so much trouble to appear rather redundant.
This got on the nerves of Little Bald Head.
Without any warning, he launched a kick ruthlessly at Helian Jiao Er!
That kick was brutally powerful.
In an instant, it made Helian Jiao Er fall kneeling on the ground.
"Who do you think you are! How dare you speak ill of my Third Aunt?"
Everyone in the White Academy knew not to underestimate the Little Brother despite his meek and adorable appearance.
Once he became angry, he would directly respond with violence, no questions asked!
Helian Jiao Er was stricken dumb as tears filled her clear, beautiful eyes. Looking greatly wronged, she sobbed, "Seventh Prince, I think you have misunderstood my words. I..."
"What misunderstanding?" the little one sneered. Despite his young age, he had an imposing presence that was difficult to disregard. "She has nothing to do with this! I would have been killed by its lashing claw if it wasn't for Third Aunt. None of you dared to step out when the dragon appeared." The little one pointed at Yun Biluo while speaking.
Yun Biluo was extremely exhausted as she had her mind completely on the little one, "I'm just worried that Miss Wei Wei was unable to control the Green Dragon, thus harming the Seventh Prince."
"Unable to control?" Helian Wei Wei interjected with a faint smile. With one hand holding her abdomen, she slowly stretched out the other hand. She seemed to be plotting something. Her delicate lips exuded an evil charm as she summoned, "Green Dragon, please come back here!"
The color drained from Yun Biluo's face when she heard these mere six words!
Soaring across the stratosphere, the Green Dragon descended at a discernible speed before landing behind Helian Wei Wei. Then, with arrogance and coldness radiating from his expression, he widened his jaw. It was an unbelievable sight.
Dragon god... dragon god actually obeyed Helian Wei Wei's command!
The teacher was dumbfounded beyond belief.
He had heard innumerable versions of the legend of the dragon god when he was only an academy student. He later acquired a thorough understanding of the dragon god when he became an academy tutor.
He would never bow down to human beings.
Even the High Priest that sought him out was unable to subdue him.
Yet, today!
He actually obeyed the orders from a little girl!
The teacher quickly adjusted his glasses to have a clearer vision of it.
Helian Wei Wei stood casually in front of the Green Dragon, seemingly unperturbed. Her long emerald robe fluttered in the wind as the rising mist rolled in around her, painting a picturesque spectacle.
No one dared to laugh at her from that moment on.
She actually summoned the dragon god!
This shocking scene would not reoccur even in 1000 years!
How did Helian Wei Wei achieve this feat? Again and again, she would break their expectations!
What a genius!
Isn't she a bona fide genius?
The students of the Fine Compound and Inferior Compound could not hide the astonishment in their eyes.
The Superior Compound students, who had always been resentful, wanted no more than to dig a hole and hide now.
When Yun Biluo joined, Helian Jiao Er expected her to completely overpower Helian Wei Wei, leaving her in a crushing defeat.
After all, they were both displeased that the person who finally became the princess consort was someone without looks or talents.
Yun Biluo was very impressive indeed. Besides her wide clandestine connections, all her abilities and talents greatly surpassed Helian Wei Wei.
The thought of Helian Wei Wei being able to summon and subdue the Dragon God never crossed her mind at all!
This outcome was simply a slap in their faces.
Helian Wei Wei looked up and slowly scanned over the noble ladies, who especially loved forming cliques, before finally laying her eyes on Helian Jiao Er. Then, she lifted her foot and stepped on Helian Jiao Er's hand. Her mouth revealed an evil sneer as usual. "Little sister, do you still have anything else to say?"
"You..." Helian Jiao Er scrunched her brows in pain. She had never been this flustered before.
Helian Wei Wei merely looked at her indifferently and spoke plainly, "These concubines' daughters without title dared to speak to the princess consort with such disrespect. Little sister, who exactly gave you the nerve? Hmm?"
The few noble ladies who wanted to plead for Helian Jiao Er's mercy were completely stunned and speechless after hearing that.
They never thought there would be a day when another person with a higher status would tyrannize them instead.
Once Helian Wei Wei had spoken, it would be unwise for them to move. If they did, it would be an act of publicly challenging the royal authority.
They exchanged quick glances with one another and hastily retreated.
However, Helian Wei Wei did not plan to let them go. She stared at them unsympathetically as she wore a murderous grin. "Who gave the few you such audacity to disregard the academy rules and bully whoever you like? I absolutely detest school violence and it is outrageously shameless how you all come together to bully a single person."
"Helian Wei Wei, you..."
Smack!
Before she could complete her speech, Helian Wei Wei slapped her across her face!
Helian Jiao Er felt wronged and attempted to speak up, but the Green Dragon narrowed his eyes into a vicious glare.
This rendered the noble ladies weak on their knees. They were used to being pampered and behaving rampantly unchecked.
"Great hit!"
Some people in the Good Compound started cheering!
The White Academy might be claimed to be impartial, but there was no such thing as absolute fairness.
Although things were better there compared to the Capital, the Good Compound would never dare to provoke the students from the Superior Compound. They would usually try their best to heed the demands of the students from the Superior Compound.
However, the Superior Compound would immediately bully and isolate the people they did not agree with. They even secretly pushed the foreign students around mockingly as they were deemed not obedient enough.
The teacher would usually voice out and stop the situation. After all, the students who were being beaten came from extremely influential families. Provoking them would come with a costly price to pay.
However, the roaring approval from the crowd of academy students left the teacher absolutely clueless.
Yun Biluo felt as though someone slapped her face as she witnessed the scene unfolding in front of her. Feeling aggrieved, she bit her lip and glanced over at Baili Jia Jue...
Helian Wei Wei naturally knew what Yun Biluo had in mind.
She wanted Baili Jia Jue to stand up for her.
Helian Wei Wei smiled gently. She had decided that she would retaliate against anyone who would vouch for these people, even Baili Jia Jue.
Helian Wei Wei held her head up after some contemplation but was greeted by Baili Jia Jue's emotionless gaze.
Her heart tightened up a little bit but she continued smiling.
One should never flinch, especially in times like this.
Helian Wei Wei did a good deed when she was very young. She accidentally found a phone, so she went to return it. However, she was mislabelled as a thief and locked up in the station in Chinese Street.
She was discharged afterward but the mistress her father married would not let go of this incident.
She would bring this up from time to time to insult her, accusing her of stealing things.
At that time, Helian Wei Wei endured all of it.
She would never forget how it felt like. She was terrified, and her heart was empty.
Yet she was punished, despite being the one being hurt.
Her existence was so insignificant that she had no right to speak up.
All this while, she had been working very hard simply to finally be able to oppose these corrupt powers.
The Third Prince? I dare him to speak up for Yun Biluo!
She fought him despite knowing that he had the Fire Qilin to back him up. He was her classmate too, but none of those would matter in this battle!
No one could push her around anymore!
Helian Wei Wei noticed Baili Jia Jue began striding toward her, hence she gripped her fingers and smiled slightly, martial Qi permeating from all of her body. However, the sharpness gradually blunted when she noticed a wound on his shoulder.
Baili Jia Jue seemed angry as his eyes were colder than ever.
He might have lost his mind because his lover was wronged.
Helian Wei Wei looked down and laughed, but her expression was completely peaceful and her state of mind was very clear.
She pondered for a moment and decided that it would be unwise to fight him.
The possibility of her winning was too slim because he still possessed the Wings of the Grim Reaper she gifted him.
She had done so much to perfect it. The Wings of the Grim Reaper was almost flawless, containing the most powerful destructive force.
Had she known she would be fighting him one day, she would have gifted Yuan Ming to him instead... and turned him gay.
Helian Wei Wei felt that she had wasted her martial practice.
However, truth be told, Baili Jia Jue had always treated her differently.
Everyone looked down at her when she first enrolled herself at the academy.
He was the only one who ever acknowledged her martial practices.
He seemed a lot like Young Master Tang in the past.
Helian Wei Wei had always been grateful even though she never mentioned it.
Also, considering the fact that he rescued her countless times...
I should just rescind the contract.
Helian Wei Wei made up her mind and then whispered in a quiet voice only they could hear, "I told you in the past that I can yield if somebody comes back. We promised each other to advance and retreat together, but I guess that is not possible anymore. Why don't we separate on good terms?"
Baili Jia Jue abruptly stopped his footsteps and sneered, "Separate on good terms?"
"Yes," Helian Wei Wei mumbled in reply.
A loud noise suddenly resonated from the ground!
Helian Wei Wei thought that something would emerge from it.
However, she then realized the loud noise was reverberating from the man standing before her.
Numerous streaks of fissures spread out rapidly as the ground cracked beneath him, creating crevices with unseen depths.
Yet he merely stood there with a faint smile, one hand tucked in the pocket of his outerwear and the other laying beside him. He wore a little grin on his face, but his eyes were not visible, completely concealed under the layers of his dark, black hair.
The smile was casual and graceful, matching perfectly with his usual air of indifference.
However, his fingers were hidden in a pair of black gloves, their arching joints paling in color.
The black fog surrounding him thickened all of a sudden.
Crack!
Another loud noise blared.
Millions of bats soared into the sky from the depths of the thick woods. The scene seemed like a harbinger of an encroaching zombie apocalypse, it was simply terrifying.
Helian Wei Wei felt the wind howling in her ears as the surrounding trees began swinging crazily and the earth tremored in response.
Seemingly unperturbed, Baili Jia Jue merely budged a little. However, the intense coldness radiating from him made it impossible for anyone to approach him.
Barely anyone or anything on this earth could stir his emotions.
Yet today, she ignited his wrath!
He had always tolerated her. He had never been so patient to any of his prey, despite having raised countless of them.
However, all she could think about was to leave!
In the past, he would have undoubtedly discarded such prey.
However... Damn it! He had become softhearted!
How ridiculous...
No, I am not! How am I softhearted? Baili Jia Jue frowned.
But why does my chest feel empty? An invisible hole seemed to have burrowed into it.
He had stopped hunting for too long that he even forgot the rules.
A predator should never be manipulated by his prey.
"Haha..." Baili Jia Jue chuckled as demonic red glares shot from his eyes.
The breeze bristled silently.
He stood upright in the same spot gracefully and held his head up high. He slightly gestured with his fingers that were covered in black gloves.
Hurricane roared and torrential rains deluged the earth instantly!
His entire body became gradually drenched...
When Yun Biluo saw it, she quickly grabbed the umbrella from her servant, wanting to go near him.
However, she was nailed to the ground in pure fear by Baili Jia Jue's cold unmoving stare before she could even approach him.
That stare was identical to the one he wore when he unleashed murderous bloodshed in the palace.
Yun Biluo's heart palpitated rapidly as she forcefully bit her lip, seemingly to have come to a decision. Then, she called lovingly, "Your Highness."
Nobody could hear Yun Biluo except Helian Wei Wei, as the sounds of blowing wind and pouring rain drowned her soft voice.
Yun Biluo looked at the ground and spoke quietly, "I know that you are still blaming me for that incident. Miss Wei Wei..."
However, she could not finish her sentence as she saw the expression on Helian Wei Wei's face, warning her to stop.
Helian Wei Wei remained calm. She merely wanted everything to be resolved soon as her stomach was in pain. Thus, she simply had no care for Yun Biluo's usual gimmick. No matter what Yun Biluo said, she would let Baili Jia Jue take care of it.
Yun Biluo was surprised that Helian Wei Wei appeared perfectly poised. However, it mattered not. All she wanted to do was to clarify that incident and ask for forgiveness from His Highness.
With that thought in mind, Yun Biluo moved a step forward again.
However, before she could even begin...
She was hammered to the ground by his single piercing word.
"Scram," Baili Jia Jue uttered.
Who is he talking to? Is it Helian Wei Wei?
Assuming that, Yun Biluo beamed. Just as she thought, he would always treat her differently from the others...
