Chapter 592: His Royal Highness' Love
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
"Looks like you did not plan on participating in the selection for a Queen." Baili Jia Jue coldly retracted his hand. Then, he stood up, his movements elegant and graceful as always... But it was also so cold and indifferent that nobody would dare to approach him.
Helian Wei Wei was afraid that he would leave, so she subconsciously grabbed his sleeves and tried to explain, "That's not true."
"If that's not the case," said Baili Jia Jue as his slender figure stood straight. The dim light shadowed all the expressions on his face, "Then put on the crown first."
He thought that his little prey would follow what he had just said.
Because she was always obedient.
However, Helian Wei Wei did not move. Clasping her hands together tightly, she rejected him for the first time, "Sorry, I can't."
In the dark shadows, Baili Jia Jue stood at the same place. With his elegant posture, straightened back, and a head that never lowered, the fingers in black glove went slightly stiff, and the smile on the corners of his mouth disappeared.
Even the devil's elegant disguise had disappeared completely, with only iciness remaining.
"Master!" Qilin and Green Dragon greeted from outside, reporting excitedly, "We already know the wedding customs in the human world. It seems like big red gowns have to be worn, peanuts and red dates would be spread out on the bed, and the sedan chair would be carried in..."
They stopped as Green Dragon and Qilin were stunned, not because of others, but because of their master's pair of unusual red eyes. How long has it been since they had seen their master with this look?
Unfortunately, Baili Jia Jue did not notice anything different. Instead, he smiled wickedly and asked, "Why did you stop? Hm?"
Green Dragon was stunned, and lowered down it's head.
Baili Jia Jue calmed down the tumbling in his chest.
10 years or perhaps 100 years ago.
He would have never treated human beings as patiently as he did today.
What he favoured the most was to tear their 'shells' with his black fingertips while enjoying the burning hot fresh blood.
Only during that moment, he would feel warmth.
Finally someone had appeared, making him feel that life was not a bore.
But obviously, this person did not want to stay.
How 'hilarious'...
"Hmph." Baili Jia Jue smiled coldly as a ray of devilish red light emerged from under his eyes.
Helian Wei Wei looked at the crown lying on the ground and furrowed her brows. Did she make things even worse?
In the following three days, Baili Jia Jue never showed his face, but it was clear that her quality of life became better.
The Pandemonium was also decorating, and bright lights were everywhere.
During this period, only Green Dragon came to the Pandemonium. It spoke with light voice, but it expressed its meaning clearly, "The Demon Queen's crown is handmade by the Demon King. This is a tradition followed by every reigning Demon King."
Helian Wei Wei instantly felt a jolt in her heart. She glanced at the crown which was clearly broken, closed her eyes to think and finally made a difficult decision!
At that moment, Baili Jia Jue was occupied by the issue of a traitor, because someone tried to escape from prison.
The prison in the demon world was indestructible as ever, so those who tried to escape would certainly suffer the consequences of their actions.
Baili Jia Jue paced over steadily. Looking down at the man in black being pressed on the ground by a magical beast, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I am going to give you two choices. The first one is to tell me who is your mole in the Pandemonium, and I will send you back to the human world. The second one is if you remain quiet, I will ensure that you suffer miserably."
The man in black never thought of escaping, but he got a little anxious as there was no news from the Divine Exorcism Seal. Now, he can only execute the second plan in order to get out of here!
He squinted, enduring the pain in his voice and said, "Previously when the magical beasts passed by the Exorcist Temple, they had once picked up a lady. Rather than saying that she is my mole, her main mission is to bring you to the human world."
Baili Jia Jue smiled, it was just that the smile was not as deep into the eyes, "Did you think that I would believe you if you say so? She is merely a normal human being, not someone from the Exorcist Temple." Please visit fr𝐞𝐞wn.𝒸o𝔪 website to read fastest update
"It is true that she is not from our Exorcist Temple, but she had always admired Senior Jing, and was willing to do anything for Exorcist Temple because Senior Jing once said that as long as she is able to protect the offerings chosen by you and bring you to the human world, then he would take her as his wife." The man in black pressed his arm painfully, but couldn't resist Baili Jia Jue's piercing gaze.
Baili Jia Jue looked at the tall trees not far away. Without raising his head, he faintly spoke, "Even if I am being lead to the human world, all of you from the Exorcist Temple still cannot do anything to me."
"It was true previously, but we heard news saying that your Sky-swallowing Beast is in the process of undergoing Heavenly Tribulation and will not appear recently. As you will be unable to gather all your grand mythical beasts, your supernatural power would obviously weaken as well..."
Baili Jia Jue did not want to continue listening. He faked a smile by curling up the corners of his mouth, though it carried with it a sense of ridicule, "I see."
No wonder she did not want to be his Queen, and the reason why she kept on wanting to bring him to the human world.
She had even asked about the news of the Sky-swallowing Beast.
It turned out that all of these were just because she admired another man.
Hmph!
How stupid are humans' affections.
As Baili Jia Jue smiled, his fingers hidden under his sleeve involuntarily tightened into a fist until his joints had turned pale.
Fire Qilin exclaimed while standing beside him, "Master, your hand!"
Baili Jia Jue followed it's sight and looked over. As if he did not see his fingers which were bleeding, with an indifferent and cold expression, he commanded calmly without any trace of emotion in his tone, "Kill him."
"You!" The eyes of the man in black trembled, "You said you would release me if I confessed!"
Baili Jia Jue placed his fingers on his lips, licking away the blood stained on it. His actions were so evil that it was as if he was Satan emerging from the darkness. He replied, "You even believed what was said by a demon. I am so annoyed by your stupidity."
Swish!
Fresh blood dripped like blooming petals.
Baili Jia Jue walked on the blood-stained pathway, and stepped into the Hall of Light which he avoided for the past few days. The elegant black shadow looked particularly dazzling in the sea of roses.
Helian Wei Wei was thinking on what excuses she could use to meet Baili Jia Jue, but now that she saw his sudden appearance in front of her, she felt relieved. She then strode over and held his hand.
Unexpectedly, the man did not even look at her. Upon withdrawing his arm and clenching his teeth, he exhaled a cold breath though he still had a seducing smile on his face, "Do you really want me to follow you to the human world?"
Helian Wei Wei looked at her hand that was being swung away, and nodded subconsciously.
"Good, very good." Baili Jia Jue curved his thin lips, but the smile froze at the bottom of his eyes. He turned and instructed the magical beast that stood beside him, "Come, send Miss Wei Wei out of the magical realm."
Chapter 593: His Royal Highness' Jealousy
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
The word 'escort' was used too liberally, with two magical beasts guarding the front and back respectively, it was pretty much like being detained and deported.
As she was given such an insolent treatment, Helian Wei Wei clenched her fists, stared back coldly, and told Baili Jia Jue, "If you are doing this because of the tiara, I could've fixed it."
However, Baili Jia Jue ignored her, as if he had already made his decision. His handsome profile exuded piercing-cold vibes, those excellent facial features beautifully deep and sharp as a knife, fully emanating the kind of energy that kept people at arm's length. He ordered, "Send her away."
"Yes." The magical beasts never gave Helian Wei Wei another chance to speak, because it seemed from His Highness' reaction that he absolutely despised this woman.
Helian Wei Wei always knew he had little patience when it came to something he did not like.
However, Helian Wei Wei never thought that one day she would also be treated the same way...
Her chest seized up in enormous pain, as if it was being rolled all over by pinpricks.
Thousands of lycoris albiflora danced in the gentle breeze, surrounding Helian Wei Wei with a delicate floral scent accompanied by a touch of despair. She would be lying if she said she was not sad.
Be that as it may, sadness never solved any problems.
Helian Wei Wei watched the palace hall that was becoming further with each step she took.
She ultimately decided to retaliate. Squinting her eyes, she aimed at her target and planted a dexterous kick with her extended leg right on the face of the magical beast who was about to escort her out of the city.
Boom!
With such a dramatic movement, it was no surprise that the occurrence had caught the attention of the other magical beast who was leading in front. Just as the magical beast was about to turn around, Helian Wei Wei hit it with a side kick, kicking the beast a few meters away.
Having never seen a female who could put on such an exceptional fight, the two magical beasts gaped in astonishment.
Helian Wei Wei bent over and said nonchalantly, "You two are his people, I don't want to hurt you, but I definitely can't go back alone like that, so you guys will have to sleep for a while."
Immediately after speaking, Helian Wei Wei single handedly fought those magical beasts and knocked them out. She even stripped one of them of its clothes so she could disguise herself as a magical beast and return to the Pandemonium without being noticed.
She did not know why Baili Jia Jue wanted to send her away all of a sudden.
Her gut feeling told her that something else was going on and it was not just because of the tiara.
...
The sound of footsteps lingered around the palace.
"Your Highness, the Queen Selection Ceremony will commence in just a moment. This is the costume that the witches have prepared for you." Green Dragon walked over with a set of black gown inlaid with gemstones as dark as the ancient black ink.
Those gemstones were the same as what Baili Jia Jue had on the ring on his thumb. In the magical realm, the darker the gemstone, the more mysterious the magical power.
The ring on his thumb had always been kept in a safe place by His Highness, even Green Dragon did not understand why His Highness would think to bring it out all of a sudden.
Baili Jia Jue gazed at the gleaming gemstone on the ring on his thumb, seemingly back to being his usual phlegmatic self. He announced, "Tell them there won't be any ceremony."
No one would've thought that he was once foolish enough to want to give his precious gemstone to a human being.
He wanted the entire magical realm to know that Helian Wei Wei was more than just a prey.
But in the end...
Baili Jia Jue sneered, the corners of his thin lips curling up slightly, "Qilin, get out of the city and make your way to the Ming River. Send out my order, no one is allowed to leave the magical realm."
"Yes." The Fire Qilin responded respectfully, although deep down inside he thought His Highness was going insane. He was the one who wanted to send the mortals back to the human world, but now he had also become the one who wouldn't allow anyone to leave the Magic Realm. It was obvious that he just didn't want Miss Wei Wei to leave!
"What about Miss Wei Wei?" Even if Fire Qilin understood what was going on, it still wanted to clarify with His Highness in case it ends up being punished by its Master.
At a leisurely pace, Baili Jia Jue replied, "Letting her go is one thing, whether or not she will make it out there is another."
Master... do you really want to be this shameless!
"Get going! Are you waiting for me to feed you more carrots?" Baili Jia Jue emotionlessly stared at Fire Qilin, his face reflecting Fire Qilin's flames, accentuating his perfectly defined facial features that screamed forbidding danger.
Fire Qilin dared not delay another second. It promptly shapeshifted and flew toward the moat, but still saw no sign of Helian Wei Wei after waiting for half an hour. He eventually managed to get a hold of the two magical beasts through conjuration. Judging from the bruises on their faces, Fire Qilin got a general idea of what had happened.
"Where is Miss Wei Wei?" Fire Qilin asked in horror, hoping that it was not what he thought it was. Master would kill it!
Those magical beasts were still confused. They looked left and right before they sluggishly muttered, "That woman beat us up and then she was gone!"
"Boss, do you think she ran away!?" one of the magical beasts asked.
"We weren't even going to eat her, why would she want to run away?!" the other magical beast replied.
Fire Qilin's head started to hurt from listening to the conversation between the two magical beasts. It thought, crap, we're doomed. This time we're really doomed! Please visit fr𝐞𝐞wn.𝒸o𝔪 website to read fastest update
Judging from His Highness' actions, it was never his intention to let Miss Wei Wei leave. This time Miss Wei Wei was really gone! How was Fire Qilin supposed to tell His Highness about this!
At the Pandemonium, countless demons were still wildly partying in the middle of the dreary night.
Except there was a slender silhouette that was sitting on his haughty throne, swirling the goblet in his hand, his wide eyes conveyed his absent-mindedness.
Fire Qilin summoned up the courage to walk toward Baili Jia Jue, trying to report to its Master about what happened with a more euphemistic explanation, "Master, I did not find Miss Wei Wei."
"What do you mean by you did not find her?" Baili Jia Jue's tone sounded calm and normal like how he usually spoke, which gave Fire Qilin the courage to reveal the entirety of what really happened, "Miss Wei Wei was gone after beating up the magical beasts, chances are... chances are that she ran away."
She ran away?
Right away, it was as if Baili Jia Jue's had built up an indestructible cold wall around his body in an instant. The corners of his mouth twitched, his handsome face emotionless, except his eyes were ice-cold to the greatest extent. As he set his heavy gaze on Fire Qilin, it felt like its scalp froze up. Fire Qilin lowered its head in terror.
At this moment, Baili Jia Jue recalled what he had heard in the prison.
It was his negligence.
She was chasing after him, expressing her affection toward him for too long. He actually really thought she liked him and wouldn't be willing to leave. But the real man that she loved, wasn't him...
Baili Jia Jue's breath became increasingly heavy at the thought of himself not being the man she loved. He clenched his hands tight on the only thing that he was holding in his hands.
Snap!
A crisp sound accompanied the broken glass.
The goblet snapped into pieces in his hands. His eyes turned deep red and he let out a vicious stare.
Fire Qilin panicked, but it was too terrified to go anywhere near the furious man.
Baili Jia Jue stood up as though nothing had happened, elegantly wiped away the blood stains on his fingers and strode outside right away, his deep eyes filled with apathetic despair.
Helian Wei Wei, do you think you can escape from me?
Chapter 594: She Is Back!
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
No one could retreat unscathed after provoking the King!
In the Pandemonium, countless demons were staring at the hem of the flying cloak.
Their blood was trembling like they were about to break through the blood vessels. It was so scorching that even the heart could be burned! They looked at each other in the rickety Great Hall. No one knew what was going on, but one thing they were sure of was that the burning sensation came from their King!
What's wrong with the King?
He is so furious!
Furthermore, behind his anger, there seemed to be some imperceptible... loneliness?
Fire Qilin blinked. It felt that the person who would get hurt this time would be the King.
It must have made a mistake!
Bang!
Meanwhile, Helian Wei Wei had gotten rid of the last magical beast who was defending the Hall of Light. She then dragged the person away and sat at the doorway of the palace.
She was already exhausted from having to be in disguise throughout the journey.
She needed to take a rest first.
Anyway, this was Baili Jia Jue's royal chamber. He would certainly come back.
She should take this opportunity to fix the tiara.
It would also be easier for her to face off His Highness later.
Under the current situation, confronting him was the only way out. However, she was afraid that His Highness would not believe her.
Drop it. In any event, if he refuses to trust her, she could still hold on to his leg and refuse to let him leave!
Helian Wei Wei heaved a sigh and comforted herself. This was also an indispensable skill of a bossy president in chasing after someone. She needed to be thick-skinned when facing someone like His Highness.
In short, she must bring him back!
Helian Wei Wei lowered her eyes and her fingers were going through the tiara. An unprecedented serious expression ran up her face.
"Look, it's the human that is being kept in captivity by the King." The little demon who was passing by sniffed upon seeing Helian Wei Wei, "Her scent is so sweet. I'm tempted to take a bite. However, it's really strange that the King had never bitten her before."
Another little demon pursed his lips disdainfully, "This doesn't mean anything. The king has raised countless souls and all of them ended up dying. It's just not the time yet."
Helian Wei Wei had of course heard their conversations. She found it interesting and tilted her head to listen to them. From time to time, her thin lips would raised, looking handsome with a little laziness. Her deep gaze were shining like stars.
The little demons looked over and was stunned for a moment as demons had a natural fondness for gorgeous things.
Even though the human in front of them was not the most refined, she was mysterious.
No wonder the King would choose to keep her in captivity. However, it was indeed strange that he had not bitten her.
In the magical realm, only a partner would be cherished.
As for a prey, they would usually be branded...
Thinking of this, the little demon glanced at Helian Wei Wei again. Nevertheless, he did not dare to stay on as he had heard that the King was in a very bad mood. Please visit fr𝐞𝐞wn.𝒸o𝔪 website to read fastest update
They need to quickly finish the pastries and leave. Otherwise, they would be summoned by the King!
After the two little demons left, Helian Wei Wei was left alone in the Hall of Light. She leaned against the door without knowing how long had passed.
Baili Jia Jue walked in from outside. Upon seeing the nodding little head, his gaze froze and he stopped in his tracks.
Fire Qilin behind him who was tense became relieved as soon as it saw Helian Wei Wei.
It turned out that the Miss Wei Wei that they had been busy looking for was here.
Wait a minute!
Didn't she escape?
Why is she back again?
Anyway, it's great that she is back.
The entire magical realm was about to collapse if she was still nowhere to be seen.
Fire Qilin turned his face over and looked at his Master's expression.
The sudden sound of footsteps caused Helian Wei Wei who was sleeping to open her eyes. She looked up and saw Baili Jia Jue who was in a cloak standing in front of her. The exquisite workmanship wrapped around his body, making him look slender and tall. He was further covered in a snowflake-like mink fur which seemed to have come from an extremely cold region. The most attractive part was the pair of black suede gloves which were always wrapping around his hands. They seemed to have been tailor-made as they fit snugly and delicately on his fingers. It was as elegant as his second layer of skin.
Without even thinking, Helian Wei Wei reached her hands out and hugged his long legs!
Fire Qilin, "..."
Baili Jia Jue did not understand what she was doing. He lowered his eyes and looked at his robe that had been marked. His voice became cold, "Let go."
It could not be that he got angry again before she could even say a word?
Helian Wei Wei raised her lazy eyes and insisted on not letting go.
Baili Jia Jue seemed noble and elegant as the moonlight shone his face. His eyes looked unfathomable like an amber lake, "I'm saying it again. Let go."
Helian Wei Wei did not let go. According to His Highness' character, he would have shook her hands off if he hated it.
He did not shake her hand off. Thus, there was still hope!
However, at that moment, a distinct sneer could be heard, "Sister Ni, look at this. It's a compliment to just say that she is thick-skinned. The King had asked her to let go but she is still pestering the King."
Helian Wei Wei could not be more familiar with Xiao Kui's voice.
She turned her head over and her cold gaze caused Xiao Kui who was still talking to shiver.
As if she was aware of the discord between the two of them, Ni Feng glanced at Xiao Kui and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
"I'm not talking nonsense." Xiao Kui felt that her chance was finally here. The King was always absent when she was confronting this b*tch. But, it was obvious that the King had now loathed her. Coupled with Sister Ni's presence, she could definitely defeat Helian Wei Wei.
"She's a wild woman who appeared from nowhere. Yet, she's pestering the king." Xiao Kui's was obviously mocking her, "She's so shameless even in the magical realm. Wouldn't she be more open in the human world? Perhaps she already had a man..."
Baili Jia Jue's eyes turned cold. Without saying a word, he turned his body around.
Helian Wei Wei looked at her hand that was being shaken off again and her heart instantly became cold.
Can it be that he has... believed that Xiao Kui's words?
"Xiao Kui, stop talking." Ni Feng pulled Xiao Kui back and stared at her as a warning, "This is Miss Wei Wei's business. You've said too much."
Upon seeing that Baili Jia Jue's eyes were on her, Xiao Kui ignored Ni Feng's lecture and continued to slander Helian Wei Wei, "Sister Ni, I'm not being long-tongued. When Helian Wei Wei was first found, she was obviously disheveled. Perhaps she was left there after having an affair with the disciple of the Exorcist Temple."
"You know so much about it," said Baili Jia Jue and he started to laugh. It was so gentle that even the sky and land turned pale...
