Chapter 633: Feelings That Reached The Depths
A thick fog had completely shrouded the Green Dragon Lake.
Fire Qilin lowered his gaze to look at her. His large red talons moved two steps forward as he uttered, “Lady Wei Wei…”
Helian Wei Wei did not entertain him. Instead, the first words she uttered after lifting her head was, “How is he?”
“His physical body is still here and the Soul Returning Light had not gone out yet, but…” Fire Qilin glanced at the flame beside them and continued, “Master has not come back.”
Helian Wei Wei clenched both of her hands as she lowered her head and started mumbling, “He hasn’t come back? How is that possible? The way that he put it clearly meant that he would be coming back.” However, the price for him to come back was his hatred for her.
Fire Qilin also felt dismayed and uttered gravely, “There is still time left until the forty-ninth day. Since the Soul Returning Light has not gone out, it means that Master is still considering it. However…”
“He will definitely come back!” Helian Wei Wei interjected. Her eyes shone as she rambled on, “He hates me so much. How could he not come back? Someone as grudging as him would never be satisfied until he comes back and destroys me with his own two hands.”
Fire Qilin was stunned and asked, “So, you ordered me to burn the Red Soul Binding Rope? You wanted to make him hate you so much that he will be forced to return?”
To be honest, after living for so many years, Fire Qilin had seen many languis.h.i.+ng youths and desperate maidens, and those who would die for Master were also not unheard of.
However, there was no one like Helian Wei Wei who would give anything just to keep His Highness alive. Truly, she was the only one in the world.
However…
“What if His Highness really hates you after he returns?” Fire Qilin could not help but ask.
Helian Wei Wei’s eyes darkened at first, but shortly after, they lit up brightly with smiles. “Then, I will make him fall in love with me again. Besides, there won’t be hate if there isn’t love in the first place.”
Fire Qilin wanted to remind her that if everything could be so well-predicted, there would not be so much regret in this world.
I fear that all he has left for her was pure hatred and none of the love…
Helian Wei Wei was too smart to not consider this possibility.
If there was enough time, she could have explained everything to him in detail…
Unfortunately, the circ.u.mstances did not allow it. Thus, she had to gamble for this one time!
“Bang!”
There was barely any time for Helian Wei Wei to think.
An unusually loud rumble echoed from the bottom of the lake.
Then, the Earth quaked twice. As Helian Wei Wei controlled her stance, she stared at Fire Qilin and asked, “What’s going on?”
“It’s the Green Dragon.” Fire Qilin began to feel anxious as he said, “It has been like this for the past few days. Someone has set up a tactical formation with the intention to subdue the Green Dragon. Moreover, the strong aura of resentment has also been affecting it. It could only depend on ramming against the bottom of the lake to maintain its sanity.”
Helian Wei Wei squinted and kept mum. With her fingers braced against the ground, she leaped into the depths of the lake.
“In the name of thy life, awaken thy name. Yuan Ming, come forth!” Helian Wei Wei suspended herself in the midst of the lake. Her black hair drifted in the gentle waves around her face, while her long robes freely swept around her.
An amorphous current surrounded her on both sides, like a natural barrier. A faint light radiated from it as it diverged the water around her, exposing an open s.p.a.ce around her.
A figure was standing behind Helian Wei Wei. His silver hair seemed like the rays of moonlight which framed his extraordinarily handsome features. The gaze from his narrow eyes was heavily layered with wicked charm. The aura of resentment dissipated around him, as if all demons could not come near him.
Somehow, Helian Wei Wei felt that after her return, Yuan Ming was slightly different from before. However, she could not point out what was different about him.
It was Yuan Ming who laughed first as he asked in a devilish manner, “Why have you summoned me?”
“Swallow all the aura of resentment in the Green Dragon Lake!” Helian Wei Wei knew nothing about tactical formations. She would give it her all and hold nothing back. There was nothing wrong with being unrefined. After all, she was quite ruthless anyway.
Yuan Ming raised his brows and looked at her, replying, “I need someone to split open the bottom of the lake so that I can clear the aura of resentment.”
“I know.” Helian Wei Wei moved one of her hands and said, “I will split the lake and you only need to do what is needed.”
Yuan Ming laughed again and in a playful tone, he replied, “Okay.”
After he had finished speaking, Helian Wei Wei bit a wound on her finger. As she straightened her right hand, it was greatly strengthened. With a piercingly cold gaze, she summoned, “In the name of thy life, I call upon the gales and nimbus of the world, rise!”
Invisible air concentrated in the middle of her palm as powerful torrents stirred the Green Dragon Lake into chaos. Helian Wei Wei simply stood in the center of the whirlpool without concern. Her gaze was blazing as her robes fluttered around her. Then, rays of light emerged from her back and formed a golden lotus.
The Green Dragon was writhing on the surface of the lake when a golden lotus rose from the bottom of the lake. As though it was weighed down by an enormous mountain, the center of the lake began to cave in.
As it was being pushed down, the water in the lake separated automatically and condensed into clouds of vapor. The devilish aura that was wafting through the air started melting away like frost and snow, eventually dispersing into nothing.
The increasingly powerful aura caused the entire Green Dragon Lake to shake uncontrollably.
The Green Dragon jumped out from the lake surface, stirring huge splashes into the air. After the turbidness in its eyes was cleansed by the Light of Buddha, it dived into the bottom of the lake again. The dragon stared silently at Helian Wei Wei, who was floating in the lake, like a newborn baby that had forgotten everything.
Helian Wei Wei smiled gently as she stuck her hand out and placed it on the dragon’s head. Then, she touched the dragon’s face with hers, saying, “Behave well. We will wait for him, together.”
The Green Dragon that was tainted by the aura of resentment had lost its sentience. Even if it was cleansed with the Light of Buddha, it could not recover to its previous indomitable existence, unless its master reappeared.
However, at this moment, the Green Dragon surprisingly understood Helian Wei Wei’s words. It nodded its head as its whiskers twitched.
Not for anything else.
It was simply because she said…
We will wait for him to come back, together.
…
Inside the shrouding fog, a man in a white s.h.i.+rt was standing the middle of a tactical formation as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
A ghastly little one immediately held him and shouted, “Master, it’s the Demon Killing Buddhist Incantation! Someone chanted the incantation! How could it be possible? There shouldn’t be anyone in this world who knows this kind of spell!”
“This spell is not mature enough. The real Buddhist Exorcism Incantation shouldn’t be like this.” Jing Wushuang appeared ashen pale as he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand.
Although he said that, he felt just as fearful.
The Buddhist Exorcism Incantation…
Up till now, it was an incantation that no one from the Exorcising Tribe could master.
Back then, even Ni Feng who had great qualifications could not learn the incantation although he knew the method.
Despite that, the Buddhist Exorcism Incantation had reappeared in the human world.
Who could it be?
One with such great fate with Buddhism, yet he signed a contract with the devil.
Could it be that… Helian Wei Wei has returned?
Jing Wushuang had a guess in his heart. His perfectly handsome face was momentarily distracted.
However, he recovered very quickly and calmly gave an order, “Since we couldn’t get our hands on the physical body, let’s start with the imperial palace. Commence the plan of destroying the seal, we shall force the Emperor to launch a formation now!”
“Yes.” The little one was a ghost baby. There were a lot of people who miscarried in the imperial palace, so he was like a duck to water in the palace and could do everything easily.
Not to mention, no one knew that the Emperor was now completely different from the Emperor from before…
