Chapter 642: The Awakened Wei Wei And His Highness
“Demon?” With his head slightly tilted, Baili Jia Jue averted his long and narrow eyes toward the Emperor which quickly reflected a forming embryo. That was a symptom of an evil aura incursion in the human body. He looked at the Emperor with a slight quirk in the corner of his thin lips. Then in a rather casual tone, he spoke, “Who is the real demon, you know it well, don’t you? The water current and the inflow of the moat can only be controlled by a handwritten order from the emperor. All those palace maids died in the moat yet you can’t wait to put the blame on others. It’s obvious that you want to rid yourself of suspicion. But do you really think you can do that?”
As Baili Jia Jue approached him, the Emperor felt his own breath became heavier. The vision in his left eye turned blurry when his eyeball rolled backwards forcefully. The white of his left eye was exposed but he seemed to know nothing about it.
On the other hand, Eunuch Gao who stood nearest to the Emperor was frightened out of his wits. He fell backward onto the ground with his finger pointed at the Emperor’s left shoulder. Terror was written all over his face as he retreated.
Only then did the Emperor looked over to his side. A baby’s head had suddenly emerged on his shoulder. Its lower body was buried deep into the emperor’s back as if it was part of his body. A pair of bloodshot eyes peered from the head in a creepy manner.
The Emperor froze as chills crept all over him. How could this be? What on earth is that thing buried in his body?
He knew that whenever he took the elixir pills, he could hear a sigh of satisfaction next to his ears. However, he always thought that the sigh came from himself.
But now…The terror-stricken Emperor cried out in panic, gone was his image as a ruler. Tears gushed from his eyes as horror washed over him, “Guards! Guards, come here! Take this sh*t away from me!”
Needless to say, no one dared to approach.
Even those ministers from the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs were screaming in horror!
The imperial guards stumbled and clambered frantically until they got to a distance that was at least ten feet away from the Emperor!
The Emperor was truly on his own now. The scariest part was that the baby on his shoulder started to inch toward him and pressed its corpse-like face against his face.
The Emperor fell on his bottom and shrieked, “Stay away from me, stay away from me!”
“You want it to stay away from you?” Baili Jia Jue started laughing mercilessly, “How dumb are you actually? You’ve sucked the blood essence of so many young ladies, of course the aura of resentment will acc.u.mulate in your body. The resentment gives rise to evil and the evil comes from your heart. It will eventually replace you by occupying your mortal sh.e.l.l. What makes you think that it will let go of such an excellent fertilizer?”
Upon hearing Baili Jia Jue’s words, a thought struck the Emperor suddenly. He raised his face and looked at Baili Jia Jue with imploring eyes, “Third Prince, you must have a solution, don’t you? Hurry up and save me right now!”
Baili Jia Jue remained motionless. In fact, he stood there and gave the Emperor a condescending glance with obvious indifference in it.
This was the scene that Helian Wei Wei saw as she woke up.
That familiar silhouette was standing amidst the raging flames of war. Green Dragon was hovering in the sky while another mythical beast was submitting itself at his feet.
However, nothing could resist the mesmerizing waves in his eyes.
His eyes were deep and mysterious, faint golden trails swirled in them. When contrasted against the side of his fair face, he appeared to have an alluring charm which felt like an incredible force. It was a breathtaking miracle.
At that moment, Helian Wei Wei thought she merely saw an illusion. She stretched her hand out to ma.s.sage her aching temple. By the time she refocused her gaze, that person was still there.
Her immediate reflex was to use her consciousness stream to communicate with Yuan Ming. Even her usual sluggish voice had turned energetic, “Yuan Xiaoming, did you see that? He’s back, he’s really back!”
Yuan Ming did not give her any reply.
Whereas Baili Jia Jue who stood not far away jerked a finger under his black glove. He looked down at the kneeling Emperor and intended to leave.
The Emperor yelled desperately, “I am your father, are you going to do nothing but watch your father turn into a monster that is neither human nor ghost?”
His words triggered a smile across Baili Jia Jue’s face. His thin lips were tinged with malevolence which was rather unsettling, “Don’t worry. You wouldn’t have the chance to turn into a monster because it’s awake, and probably very hungry right now.”
“What, what do you mean?” The Emperor was not that dumb. A possibility soon came across his mind and he quickly looked to his left.
The baby was awake as expected and was staring at the Emperor through hollow eyes. Its voice was cold and eerie, “Blood, I want blood.”
Before the Emperor could react, his neck was bitten by the baby!
The slurping sound of blood being sucked was loud and clear. It made everyone who heard it had their hair stood on end.
The faces of the ministers from the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs turned pale. They watched helplessly as the Emperor reached out his hands in a desperate attempt to throw off the baby on his shoulder. Despite that, his efforts were in vain because they were of the same body.
The Emperor kept on struggling and when he looked at Baili Jia Jue, his eyes were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with hatred!
He knew it from the beginning that this child was a sinister child who showed no respect for his own father at all.
Sure enough, as Baili Jia Jue grew up day by day, he began to lose control of this child of his.
And now he even refused to save him!
People like this should go to h.e.l.l!
Why should I be the one to die!
G.o.d had once told me that I would become immortal as long as I did what I have to!
Could it be that G.o.d had lied to me?
Crack!
The baby opened its mouth and snapped the Emperor’s spine into two.
The Emperor could no longer struggle. He laid on the ground like a drowned rat with blood oozing out from all over his body. In total despair, the lights in his eyes faded gradually.
The ministers sighed quietly upon witnessing this scene but at the same time, fear had gripped their hearts.
They did not expect the Emperor to end up like this. Nor did they ever thought that he would be the murderer who killed the palace maids.
They knew that the Emperor was longing for immortality.
But they never imagined that the Emperor’s obsession was so extensive.
Karma truly existed in this world.
What comes around goes around. No one can escape their fate!
So the Emperor died from having his blood sucked dry by the baby who grew from his body. It only took several seconds with the baby crouched over the Emperor’s neck. The baby’s eyes were now a creepy green hue.
But of course Baili Jia Jue would not allow it to feed to its heart’s content. He threw a look at Green Dragon and said faintly, “It’s all yours now.”
“Yes, Master.” Green Dragon was delighted that it was finally its turn. It rolled over and swallowed the baby into its stomach without leaving a trace.
Following that, the entire Palace of Heavenly Purity was back to peace and quiet.
Baili Jia Jue started walking again. His perfect long legs and waistline invoked abstinence while maintained his usual look of elegance and indifference. The only difference was his hair that was now an evil shade of silvery white. That was the unique characteristic of devils.
Helian Wei Wei was unsure whether if he saw her. It seemed like he did… but he refused to acknowledge her?
