"Will the Third Prince still have a secondary consort?" Helian Jiao Er was crying her eyes out. " Even if he does pick one, will I still have any part in it?"
Su Yan Mo had finally calmed her emotions after taking in a deep breath. "Of course, of course, have you forgotten, our War Dragon Empire dictates that the chosen crown prince would have to pick a well-rounded lady with good qualifications to assist him as a future ruler before the age of 20. Helian Wei Wei that scourge may not be as incompetent as before, having recovered her martial Qi, but that face of hers would never meet exceptional standards. Moreover, the Third Prince was chosen as crown prince by the Retired Emperor. If he doesn't select a perfect lady as his consort, he would have to give up the throne! He's not that st*pid!"
As Helian Jiao Er listened, her eyes began to shine with hope. "But my current reputation..."
"Jiao Er, remember that you are the Phoenix girl that was identified by the four influential families, a bad reputation would only last long. When it is time for the Selection Ceremony, we will repay that scourge for all the humiliation we had to endure." Madam Su's face was turning darker with every word she spoke, her fingers were clenched into a tight fist as her nails dug into the centers of her palm.
Helian Jiao Er was still sobbing. "How about for the time being? Others would slander about me whenever I step outside."
"Those blabbermouths!" Madam Su scolded, although it was bothering her as much as it did to Helian Jiao Er, after some thoughts, she lowered her eyes and added, "We will go and stay in Chengde for a couple of days, your grandfather has another house there. The Third Prince is about to reach the age of 20, it's just a few more days. We will return when the folks in the Capital have calmed down."
Helian Jiao Er thought that it was a great idea as she nodded her head a little.
While Madam Su stroke her beloved daughter's long hair, the hatred in her eyes had never once dissipated.
After she appeased Helian Jiao Er, she decided to try and bribe others from the Palace with some silver coins, hoping that someone would help to plead mercy for Prime Minister Su.
However, no one was willing to meet her, let alone accept her request.
Su Yan Mo was starting to feel anxious, hence summoning her butler to find Helian Guang Yao.
At the moment, Helian Guang Yao had his arm around Lan Lian while having a drink in a small loft with some officers which he had good relations with. Just then, someone entered the room.
Seeing how Helian Guang Yao was living lavishly, the butler who detested him began to speak in a surprised manner, "It couldn't be that Brother Guang Yao has not heard about it."
Helian Guang Yao laughed coldly, "What is it that I should have heard about?" He questioned in a proud manner.
"Your legitimate wife, Su Yan Mo has just finished parading through the streets." As he spoke, he began laughing, "There were so many bystanders watching your wife reciting the words of self-criticism..."
Upon hearing the words 'parading through the streets', the officers who were present immediately perked up their ears and listened intently to the man who was relaying about the entire incident. Afterward, they turned toward Helian Guang Yao, their stares were inflicting hints of discomfort in him.
Helian Guang Yao's mind went blank momentarily. Following immediately, his hand that was resting on his lap slowly clenched into a tight fist.
He finally understood what happened.
That woman was asserting her opinions again!
Even though he had repeatedly reminded her to get a hold of herself!
Yet, she refused to heed his words and chose to raise a ruckus to this extent!
Not to mention she had also brought shame upon him, of all the officers that were present, none of them had a wife that paraded through the streets!
Helian Guang Yao could not take it anymore, he was on the brink of wanting to smash his cup, mainly because of the mocking tone of the atmosphere, be it intentionally or unintentionally.
Previously, these officers would do anything to get on his good side, none of them had the nerves to disrespect him.
Now, they were staring at him as though he was a circus monkey!
He knew that right now, he must not lose his temper or else he would appear to be a bigger fool in front of the officers.
With a solemn face, he stood up and informed the others that he was leaving.
Suddenly, the girl that was known as Lan Lian held on to him. "My Lord, don't take it too hard," she spoke in a demure manner.
Helian Guang Yao thought about how he would not have to lose so much face in the public if that old hag been half as considerate as Lian Er. Unable to resist himself, he wrapped the girl before him in an embrace once again.
The night grew a shade darker.
Su Yan Mo could not sleep a wink knowing that Prime Minister Su was still kneeling outside the palace. She could only keep waiting and hoping for Helian Guang Yao's quick return to help her out.
At long last, her hopes for his return was granted. However, she was greeted with a hard slap in the face!
"How many times have I told you, it would naturally be game over for that scourge when the Clan Meeting ends! Yet, you chose to cause such a huge commotion. Are you happy now that the General's residence has been disgraced?!" Helian Guang Yao was letting off steam from his humiliating day by lashing out on Su Yan Mo.
Although Su Yan Mo's face was swollen from being hit, she dare not complain. Instead, she held on to Helian Guang Yao's hand and said, "Father is still kneeling at the Palace, I'm worried, I'm worried that at such an old age, he might not be able to survive his punishment."
Helian Guang Yao calmed the anger in his chest, still annoyed by Su Yan Mo's sniffling. Although he knew that no matter what, they were linked together. If either one of them attained glory, it would be glory to both of them. Similar if either one of them were disgraced, both would suffer.
Moreover, the Su family still had military power in the Capital, although their spies had been eliminated.
He would not reject the request to rescue Prime Minister Su since he still needed his support. He would at least appear to go through the forms of the process just so Su Yan Mo would be convinced that he had put in effort in order to rescue Prime Minister Su.
Su Yan Mo noticed a large amount of silver Helian Guang Yao had brought out. Not knowing his true agenda, she actually thought that he was willing to sacrifice so much to buy off officers in order to rescue her father.
Not once did she considered that only a small part of the silver was used for that purpose, and most of it was gifted to Lan Lian from the small loft...
Outside, a heavy downpour was on its way while Prime Minister Su was still kneeling on the same spot. His breathing was becoming weaker by the minute as the color was slowly drained from his face.
He ended up kneeling until the break of dawn the next day.
His peers shook their heads as they walked passed him to head for the morning court.
Prime Minister Su never imagined that someone of high superiority like him who should have been enjoying a peaceful life in his golden years would be met with this sort of punishment and humiliation.
He fainted from a sudden rush of emotions. By the time he woke up, he could no longer feel his left leg. He would even require a walking stick whenever he had to walk in the future!
How could Prime Minister Su swallow such shame!
But there was no choice, for Baili Jia Jue's method was far too wicked. There was no way for Prime Minister Su to point out a single wrong in him even if he were to dispute in the imperial court.
Although he felt wronged, he could only endure it!
As a person who knew how to conduct oneself, Helian Guang Yao immediately went over to Prime Minister Su's house when he was released.
"I have totally underestimated that wench from your place," Prime Minister Su inhaled deeply as he looked at Helian Guang Yao.
"I, Helian Guang Yao never has such a disrespectful scourge in my family." With a burst of chilling laughter laced with hatred, he continued, "Don't worry, father-in-law, she will not get what she wants regardless of how hard she tries. After the Helian family's Clan Meeting, she would find out the terrible fate awaiting her for having offended us..."
"Besides," Helian Guang Yao paused for a moment, he sounded more gloomy than ever, "that b*stard is most likely possessed. She will lose all her reliance once she reveals her original identity. When the moment comes, the Retired Emperor won't have many opinions even if we suggest to burn her to death. Maybe he will loathe her even more than us! I've set up everything at the academy, so it won't be peaceful up there for this period of time and the Qi of the person being possessed will become unstable. Just wait and see, father. The little b*stard will soon reveal her fatal cloven foot!"
It was night, the wind around was blowing coldly and it was raining in the academy.
Helian Wei Wei automatically rolled herself toward a warmer place and sunk into a deeper slumber than before.
It was probably because she was too tired recently, she kept hearing someone calling out to her in the middle of the night, even though nothing happened during the first half of the night.
She was not awake, still lying on the bed with her brows frowning, it was as though she had seen something unpleasant.
Helian Wei Wei had no idea how she came to this gloomy park.
There was a big lantern hanging in the park, she could hear a distant cry.
She subconsciously looked to the left and right. She felt unreal when she was walking, it was as though she was walking on cotton.
She only realized that something was wrong after some walk.
Although she did not have any martial Qi, she would never be such a loser thanks to her physical strength.
The weight on her shoulder kept increasing for every step she had taken. She felt like something was continuously adding weight to her.
Not knowing how long she had been walking, Helian Wei Wei decided to halt. She knew that the situation was far from good for her if she continued.
Even though her head was spinning, Helian Wei Wei was different from ordinary people. She had received precise training before and she was well-known among the police and the triads for her ability to tolerate anesthesia.
Soon, she found the problem. This place was unusual.
Owing to the reason that this place was no different than the place where she departed.
She did not continue to move forward this time.
Helian Wei Wei tried her best to concentrate on her distracting thoughts, she vaguely knew that this was not a real place. She must be dreaming!
It was just that this dream was unlike her previous fast flashing dreams, this dream was very long and she was unable to wake herself up.
In modern times, many people would waste their energy while dreaming.
She had the same feeling now as she knew that all these were far from the end.
A woman who looked identical to her appeared right in front of her. The only difference was that the woman's eyes were dimmer than hers. The woman looked pitiful and her body was wet, as though she just got out of the lake. She was wobbling at the lakeside while looking at Wei Wei. She sounded miserable, "Why don't you return my body to me? Why..."
Phew!
Helian Wei Wei opened her eyes abruptly and looked at the man who was brushing off the wet strand of hair on her forehead. She was stunned for a while before saying, "Oh, it's you." She felt very uncomfortable because of the dream.
"You had a bad dream," Baili Jia Jue leaned down and looked at her with faint eyes. He dressed differently now, probably because he had recovered his identity. He was no longer wearing the green scholar robe, he put on a waist-length outer shirt of Cangwu Mountain. He had exquisite facial features and fair skin. His face would exude an attractive power when people took a close look at him, especially his beautiful eyes. He said with his eyes beaming, "What did you dream about?"
"Nothing," Helian Wei Wei definitely could not tell him about the true owner of this body. She stretched herself, feeling a pang of indescribable guilt.
If he ever finds out that she was possessed, would he treat her as a monster and hand her to the country?
"Of course he will. Don't even think about it, Woman," Yuan Ming's sound was echoing in her mind. "Woman, I'm advising you to think about the matter of Yab-Yum. You will get a lot of benefits once you get on the Third Prince."
Helian Wei Wei let out a yawn and said indolently, "Yuan Ming, I'll say this for the last time, shut up."
Yuan Xiaoming had mentioned this before, it was true that Yab-Yum was good for improving their martial Qi.
However, after the Yab-Yum, the person who provided the vital essence would lose all his martial practice and become a normal person for two days .
Now that Baili Jia Jue had exposed his identity, something will inevitably happen at the White Academy if he lost his martial Qi.
Helian Wei Wei had been resisting the agitation in her body recently, she managed to increase her ability of endurance, either intentionally or otherwise in these few days. According to Yuan Xiaoming, her feeling would be more obvious on the full moon day. She would be fine the next day as long as she could make it through the full moon day.
There was a natural hot spring at the back mountain of the White Academy. When the time came, she could possibly make it through by setting up a barrier and soaking herself in the water for a night, at worst she would get symptoms of flu afterward.
Helian Wei Wei heard Whitey telling her through stream of consciousness while she was pondering, "Set aside the matter of Yab-Yum first, the Qi surrounding the White Academy was quite unsteady recently and you will inevitably be affected as well. The dream that you had just now is one of the signs. You better be careful, it is very easy for people to notice about the person who possesses during this period of time. Most of all, the Third Prince and you are always together, he is a very dangerous man, his eyes are very..."
All of a sudden, the White Cat paused upon saying these words.
It was because it was being stunned by the hand that suddenly appeared before his eyes.
The hand landed accurately on its neck; there was no warmth in the fingers.
Whitey was infuriated by him, its movement became stiff as well.
Helian Wei Wei thought the man had noticed something, she stopped breathing for a second.
However, Baili Jia Jue took his time before saying anything. She could not tell his emotions from his words. He petted White Cat with his fingers, wearing a clearly unhappy smile on his face and said, "Does it usually sleep here?"
Yeah. Helian Wei Wei slowly nodded her head in agreement.
Then, she let out a sigh of relief. So, this is what he wanted to ask...
After she nodded, Baili Jia Jue picked up the Little White Cat and threw it over to Qing Zhan, who was standing outside the divider. He uttered two words, "Castrate it."
Whitey, who was known as the most chill person in the world, snarled!
No matter what, I'm still the prince of the cat family. Although it was still in its animal form, it could not believe that this man was not able to tell its identity with his abnormal eyesight.
He's totally doing it on purpose, on purpose!
Helian Wei Wei was baffled. Castrate it? Oh my goodness! Does that mean Whitey will become extinct?
"Wait," Helian Wei Wei could not be bothered that the Third Prince had mysophobia, she straight away pressed on his hand in a hurry. "You can't castrate it."
Baili Jia Jue looked at her hand which was on the back of his hand as he wore a smile on his noble and handsome face. "Why can't I castrate it?"
Why else? Doesn't His Highness think that his decision to castrate the cat is very weird?
Helian Wei Wei tugged onto the duvet and sat with her legs crossed. "It's my beast." As an owner, she could not stand to watch her own beast become extinct.
Baili Jia Jue withdrew his hand and said indifferently, "Fine, I won't castrate it. Don't ever let me see it sleeping on your bed again."
That's the reason? Helian Wei Wei immediately nodded, thinking in her mind that His Highness's mysophobia had gotten serious again. She would have to ask Whitey to get as far away as possible from the very sight of him.
Baili Jia Jue subtly patted Whitey's cat face with his hand, then he brought it outside.
The man said with a faint smile on his face, "Don't simply come out from the Space when there's nothing. Understand?"
"Meow..." As the prince of cats, the only thing he wanted now was going to its owner for comfort.
Baili Jia Jue looked smilingly at it, "If you ever let me find out that you are very close to her, I'll break your cat legs."
Little White Cat squeezed into the Fantasy Space almost in an instant. Sly man! It could never fight him but it could hide away from him.
His Highness was very pleased to see this.
However, Fire Qilin revealed itself at the moment and murmured in Baili Jia Jue's ear, "Master, the breath of Lady Helian Wei Wei seems to be quite unstable. At this moment, I don't know what causes it, but I predict that it has something to do with the magic practice she chose."
"Yeah." Baili Jia Jue was not surprised at all, apparently, he had noticed it as well. He continued with a noble and indifferent look, "Her breath is unstable. It's not only because of her practice, but also the surrounding environment. There's something wrong around the White Academy, something must be disturbing out there. You go and have a look at the back mountain, check if there's any magical beast left."
"Yes!" Master is so impressive, he's so keen and sharp. Fire Qilin heaved a sigh in amazement and disappeared in the night.
Helian Wei Wei did not know what the Third Prince said to Whitey after he brought it out. He was most likely teaching it a lesson and telling it not to jump on the duvet if it was dirty.
Baili Jia Jue walked over and cast a glance at her who was sitting on the bed, then he slowly took off his outer shirt. His fingers were slender and beautiful, everything he did was hard for people to take their eyes off him.
Qing Zhan came in and brought a bowl of hot water for him. She did not dare to serve him but she had to hand over the towel to him.
Baili Jia Jue took over the wet towel from Qing Zhan and dried his face. Then, he took a sip of the mint water handed to him and spat out. He seemed like he was getting ready to sleep.
Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows, this is her room, isn't it?
Has he gotten to the wrong place?
Helian Wei Wei was still tugging the duvet. She looked at Baili Jia Jue taking off his clothes one by one and undoing the buttons on his sleeves. He still had his eyes on her.
Helian Wei Wei could feel that the stir in her body was becoming restless. She turned her head to the other side and leaned against the cold wall.
She still wanted to sleep for the purpose of preserving her physical strength.
However, she could smell the familiar sandalwood behind her the next moment.
Without even turning her head, Helian Wei Wei knew that Baili Jia Jue got on the bed. She had to squeeze herself even closer to the wall.
However, the duvet was at the side of the man and the room was a bit chilly after the rain.
Helian Wei Wei persisted for a while before she raised her eyebrows at Baili Jia Jue and said, "Duvet."
"You want it?" Baili Jia Jue did not lie down, he was leaning by the bedside and holding an old scroll in his hands. He looked lazily at Helian Wei Wei, as though he was looking at his own belongings. He put down the old scroll slowly and said, "Come over here then. Am I a dreadful monster? Why do you have to squeeze yourself into the wall?"
Helian Wei Wei thought in her heart, you're not the dreadful monster. She was afraid that she would not be able to control herself from throwing herself on the Third Prince. That would definitely be terrible.
"Come here," Baili Jia Jue repeated his command again.
Helian Wei Wei whispered, "You have your own bed, why do you have to come to my place and fight over the duvet with me." Then, she moved over to his side.
Truth be told, it was really comfortable sleeping like this.
He had a nice smell, it was as if she was unconsciously influenced and hypnotized.
He seemed to like her hair. She felt cozy with his touch too when he put his arms around her.
Helian Wei Wei squinted her eyes. Anyway, just take things as they come. Since the Third Prince has a habit of sleeping with a bolster, I can just act like one. There's no harm in it and most importantly, it's comfortable. Hmm... How can a man have such a nice body? Not only that it is good to look at but it's also nice when it's being used.
It was no wonder those boys and girls were drooling over him.
Helian Wei Wei let out a sigh, a man with good appearance could truly do more harm than good as compared to a woman.
Baili Jia Jue had no idea what she was thinking. If he knew about it, most likely he would want to bully her again.
He took her in his arms and patted the head of his prey, feeling the soft hair under his hand. His eyes were smiling, seemingly very satisfied with the situation.
In fact, Baili Jia Jue was indeed pleased.
He loved the feeling of hugging Helian Wei Wei. In a way, Baili Jia Jue loved the feeling of being relied on by this little fox. It was just that he was really picky about this particular prey.
Up to now, Helian Wei Wei was the only one. She was nice and warm. Her body was so soft when he embraced her.
The softer she was, the more he wanted to pinch her hard. The thought was still lingering in Baili Jia Jue's mind until both of them fell asleep.
When it was almost dawn, Baili Jia Jue still maintained the same posture. He was repeatedly rubbing against Helian Wei Wei with something hot.
Helian Wei Wei woke up in an instant, biting her lip. This, this is...
But Baili Jia Jue was still asleep, he instinctively frowned his perfect long eyebrows and there was a slight change in his breathing. His hands around Helian Wei Wei exerted force to push her body toward him. His eyes were pressed closed, his eyelashes were long and enviable.
Helian Wei Wei could even feel the hot thing rubbing on her body, making her go limp and numb.
Then, Baili Jia Jue put his leg on her and their bodies were pressed tightly together.
Helian Wei Wei felt that every part of her body that was being touched was burning up.
They were sharing the same duvet. At the moment, it was inevitable that a soft rustling sound could be heard whenever Baili Jia Jue had any rubbing movement.
Helian Wei Wei's ears were burning. She wanted to push him away but she could not help trembling when the man's hot breath rasped against her neck.
It can be like this too?
It's so hard and hot even when he's dreaming.
Helian Wei Wei clenched her fist, her body was limp. Damn it, she definitely could not see someone on the full moon day. She was afraid that she would be unable to control herself and get on him.
After regulating her breathing, her body slowly relaxed. Forget it, just think of it as a practice for rejecting.
With that in mind, Helian Wei Wei sank into a deep slumber again as she was exhausted.
Baili Jia Jue woke up after a while, he seemed to have noticed something. He went blank for a while, then his mouth began to curl up at the corners in a smile. It appeared evil in his eyes. There was no hint of embarrassment, he seemed to be proud of himself instead.
Then, he got out of the duvet and walked away to clean up something. His eyes were locked on Helian Wei Wei when he returned, then he drew her into his arms.
The Third Prince was very pleased with such an act of marking his own territory. He took a sniff on Helian Wei Wei's long hair and loved the smell of him on her.
It should be so, the prey that belonged to him should smell like him too.
He had a feeling of indescribable comfort and tightened his arms around her. He decided to leave more marks on her body in the future.
Helian Wei Wei had no idea of His Highness' plan for the future. She would definitely disagree with him and laughed in his face if she knew about it.
Who would use this as a method of marking his own territory? Only the Third Prince would be so perverted...
Baili Jia Jue stared at Helian Wei Wei for a short while. He could not help brushing her lips with his finger, his eyes went dark.
He was not sure whether it was an illusion, but he felt that her face was burning up and her breathing was heavier.
Most probably it was because they had made love before and that she was practicing magic. She was getting more and more sensitive to his touch.
Such a thing would only bring benefits to man.
There was no disadvantage to him as he could do whatever he wanted to her.
Heh, what a lovely thing this is.
Baili Jia Jue made a slight pause before the finger that was brushing on her lips moved south.
As he expected, Helian Wei Wei's eyelashes quivered and she made a 'hmm' sound, but she was not quite awake.
Baili Jia Jue's eyes went darker at the sound. He earnestly brushed his lips against hers while cupping her breast in his hand.
His whole body was burning up, the sound of swallowing saliva in the throat was incredibly huge.
He held her around the waist. When her lips finally opened, he pushed his tongue inside her mouth and dueled with her tongue.
Both of them were trembling. Baili Jia Jue's eyes went darker. Their tongues were stroking and he would not let her go. Once again, he had bullied her while she was sleeping.
Although they did not do until the end, he had kissed her everywhere.
The room was filled with the rich, musky scent.
Baili Jia Jue rested his chin on Helian Wei Wei's head. An evil grin rose onto his face. Since she's so sensitive, it's for sure that we will have to do Yab-Yum before long.
What could he do? He wanted to see how she would cry and beg while lying under him after she was completely broken down.
Pitter-patter!
The mist began to form outside the window.
The rain was beating down on the shrubs, dripping on the greenstone pavement.
A man was holding an umbrella in his fair hand at the side of the Green Dragon Lake. He looked slender from the back, but he seemed cold.
He slowly moved his eyes away from the lake and glanced at Yun Biluo, who was standing behind him. He said with a flat voice, "We've lost half of our forces this time because you simply revealed the information."
Upon saying so, he squinted his dark eyes.
Yun Biluo immediately spat out black blood!
She put her hands on her left shoulder, her face went extremely pale but it was clear from her eyes that she was unwilling to accept this.
She thought that Helian Wei Wei would come to a bad end if she revealed that Helian Wei Wei was building weapons.
She had never thought that Helian Wei Wei did it under the command of the Retired Emperor.
"Master, please give me a second chance." Yun Biluo looked up, her palm-size face looked soft. "I've miscalculated this time. Instead of wasting my time on these matters, I should find a way to win back His Highness' heart."
The man locked his eyes on her upon hearing this, "Do you really think that Baili Jia Jue married Helian Wei Wei because of the Retired Emperor?"
Yun Biluo froze abruptly. She had been asking herself the same question ever since she got back.
Although the answer was out of her expectation, it was not so bad after all.
She thought for a while and said, "No. Firstly, he chose Helian Wei Wei because he was interested in her. But what I want to say is that he's only interested in her and there's nothing special about it. Perhaps His Highness thought that it's bizarre that Helian Wei Wei has changed so much since she woke up. He's always into bizarre things and treats them as his prey. He will have greater interest, especially if it's harder to tame the prey. He will eventually lose interest once he succeeds. I've been tagging along behind him for so many years, I know him better than anyone and I know his weaknesses. If Master wants Helian Wei Wei to leave His Highness, I'm the only one who can make it happen."
"I can give you one more chance, but..." The man glanced at her and opened his collar, both his legs were gracefully crossed together. He said with an indifferent look in his eyes, "Don't ever let me see you trying to hurt Helian Wei Wei!"
"Yes." Yun Biluo held back her feelings of unreconciled as she spat out a mouthful of blood. She knew that her seven spiritual and six physical souls were detaching as she could feel her body becoming lighter.
The man looked at her, he bent his arm slightly and a black talisman appeared in his palm. He put the talisman on her forehead and murmured some spell. A faint white light appeared on his finger, and the light went into Yun Biluo, together with the talisman.
With the implantation of black talisman, a golden light was coming out from Yun Biluo's left shoulder, which was then filled by black mist and layers of the antenna. The antennas interweaved with each other and formed into flawless flesh. It was as though she never got injured.
Right then, the man withdrew his arm and said in a flat tone, "You don't have to ambush in the Battle Spirit Forces anymore. Go and approach Baili Jia Jue and you better do as you said, regain your destiny with him as childhood sweethearts."
Yun Biluo clenched her fists when she heard the word 'destiny' and said with a determined look in her eyes, "Don't worry, Master. I know what I should do."
"Good." The man turned around and walked toward the mist on the surface of the lake. The view of his back was as aesthetic as a Chinese ink painting.
"Master." The Demon-Transforming Beast followed behind the man without revealing itself. It finally opened its mouth when Yun Biluo was completely out of their sight, "Why are you so determined to get that Helian Wei Wei?"
What's so good about that woman? Although she is quite smart, she looks really tough. Someone who was able to kill the Demon-Transforming Beast was not someone to be trifled with.
The man smiled, as light as the dust, his eyes deepened as if they were hiding something.
Instead of answering the words of the Demon-Transforming Beast, he looked over to the Green Dragon that was soundly asleep inside the lake; his gaze was soft. "There is not enough resentment."
Soon after, his fingers moved, black blood dripped into the lake from his fingertips, one drop after another, it appeared that he had knocked open an evil gate.
A deep, eerie voice came out from between his thin lips.
The ancient curse clearly got the Demon-Transforming Beast excited.
Finally! Master has finally taken action!
The man took a glance at it, a thick black fog was overflowing from his eyes. "Go, you must be hungry."
"Yes," The Demon-Transforming Beast licked its lips with its scarlet red pupils brightened, disappearing into the dark night before long.
Sniffling the greed in humans, it found a target immediately, opened its mouth and bit into the man!
In the dark, there was a faint sound of blood-sucking...
Shutter...
Helian Wei Wei was laying on the bed, feeling somehow in a trance, it was hard to describe the trance in words, she opened her eyes, only to realize that she was the only one left on the bed.
Turning her head over, she noticed that this was not a bed at all but the lakeside.
The lake seemed extremely familiar to the point where she could recognize where it was at a glance.
Isn't this the lake where the Green Dragon was trapped?
Why was she here?
Was she not lying on the bed all along, and had not moved?
Shutter...
The sounds in her ears were still ringing.
Helian Wei Wei instinctively held tight to the dagger that she was carrying, and started walking slowly toward the lake...
Click!
The sound stopped.
At the foot of the deserted mountain, it was even more disturbing without the noise, particularly the color of the lake surface.
As the night drew in, it always gave out a feeling of darkness and spookiness.
Helian Wei Wei clasped her dagger, her breath felt a little slow, chills went down her spine, as if something was sticking onto her...
At the thought of it, Helian Wei Wei looked back all of a sudden!
A faceless figure was in close proximity, except for the bright red lips, there were no other facial features.
The scalp of Helian Wei Wei tightened, she woke up immediately, only to find out that all of it was nothing but a dream.
Just that the dream felt so real, it was too real to the extent that her arms and legs felt slightly weak.
Helian Wei Wei raised her arm and grasped the hair behind her ears that were dampened by her cold sweat, subconsciously trying to grip the blanket in her arms, strange enough, the touch was not as soft as usual, it felt sticky instead.
Helian Wei Wei withdrew her gaze, her sight moved downward following her droopy eyes.
There was no blanket in her arms, it was actually the faceless face, the mouth on the face was moving, repeatedly saying, "Return my body back to me, return my body back to me..."
"Stay away!" Helian Wei Wei shouted out loud, completely awakened from her sleep!
Baili Jia Jue's hands were still maintained in an outstretched position, he probably wanted to wake her up, but ended up stopping in midair after listening to what she said.
Helian Wei Wei sat up straight, then only noticed that she was still inside her house.
Turned out that it was a dream within a dream.
But a dream like this could easily make someone feel dazzled.
It was just one night, but she already had three consecutive dreams and every dream was related to this body.
Is that a coincidence?
Helian Wei Wei lowered her gaze, she was obviously a little absent-minded.
Just then, Yuan Ming came out to annoy her, "How can this be a coincidence, woman, you greatly underestimated the influence your body has on you."
While talking, Yuan Ming leisurely took a bite of the crispy apple from Fantasy Space.
Helian Wei Wei glanced at him, gesturing to burn down the ancient book. "Tell me, what else are you capable of other than snooping into my privacy?"
"You...you, calm down." Yuan Ming looked at her actions, its tone became softer, "I am your messenger of the demon, of course, I have to activate my defense ability when you are in danger, not snooping into your privacy, but this dream of yours is unusual, I have to pull you out from dreamland."
Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows. "So, other than your analysis that it is related to the upcoming day of Yab-Yum, what else do you manage to analyze from my dream?"
"The White Academy will not be at peace recently." A light crossed the eyes of Yuan Ming. "You wouldn't have nightmares for no reason, there must be some unusual resentments arising from the surrounding, but I don't know why you would have a dream like this. What does the last word mean? Why did it want you to return your body?"
It was because of the real Helian Wei Wei, she wanted to come back...
Helian Wei Wei looked at the scenery outside of the window, it was uncertain where her thoughts had landed on.
All along, she thought that the master of this body had died long ago, which made it possible for her to reside in this body, but now it seemed like the real Helian Wei Wei had not left after all. In fact, she was deeply asleep inside this shell, waiting for the right opportunity to wake up.
If that was the case...
Where would she go?
Back to the 21st century?
What would happen to the matters here then?
Baili Jia Jue did not know what Helian Wei Wei was thinking about, he just looked at her while she woke up from one nightmare after another, a pair of slender eyes sank.
Vaguely, the earth seemed to shake for a moment, as if something had crawled out from the underground.
Yuan Ming detected this odd sensation in an instant and he stopped talking immediately.
Fire Qilin leaped in one bound from a few meters away and transformed into an entity, the flaming red fur appeared to be exceptionally honorable. Its eyes were looking into the distant, large tail drooped to the ground, and its pupil color turned dazzling gold.
Fire Qilin had never once transformed into an entity without being summoned as it did today. Baili Jia Jue had definitely noticed its peculiarity, he opened the curtains and took a look at it.
Fire Qilin opened its mouth, communicating with Baili Jia Jue using martial Qi, "I suppose something has been released. It is just inside the White Academy."
Upon knowing about it, Baili Jia Jue slowly squinted his eyes, the clean-cut handsome face was as delicate as a diamond, but at the same time revealing an unprecedented chillness. He did not care much about what had been released, therefore, his tone was slightly cold, "If a person who is possessed has frequent nightmares, in most cases, what would be the reason?"
Ah? Fire Qilin felt like it was unable to keep up with his master's thinking, however, it still thought about it carefully before replying, "It means that there is a phenomenon of rivalry between souls, the soul is trying to retaliate."
"Retaliation of soul?"
In other words, the current Helian Wei Wei would disappear?
