Chapter 729: In Search Of The Sarira
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
“Pitiful?” Helian Wei Wei laughed as she walked in, still draped in a fur coat. It seemed that she did not overhear most of the conversation, as she focused solely on the baby, asking, “Were you referring to yourself?” Helian Wei Wei glanced at the Son of the King of h.e.l.l and lazily retorted, “You fell in love with a boy and ended up being rejected by him… His name is Little Hook if I’m not mistaken. Was he the one who asked you to return to the netherworld? ‘Unrequited love’ would be the most fitting description for this. Who do you reckon is more pitiful?”
The King of h.e.l.l’s Son narrowed his amber eyes as he was stung by Helian Wei Wei’s comment. However, he began laughing and said, “Don’t provoke me. No one is certain of his future. However, it seems to me that your spiritual aura is almost fully depleted. People like us who are in charge of the Book of Life and Death, can see what the devils can’t. Back then, you were reincarnated with the protection of the Dharma bone. Now, that spiritual aura is being absorbed by your fetus. When you can’t provide anything for it, it will bite you instead. I’m only telling because I like you. Tell your man to visit the netherworld more frequently, so that he can attract my dad’s attention. Then, I can secretly go wherever I want. As for you… Ha, you really shouldn’t be here. Oh, and by the way, the Exorcising Tribe will be holding a contest. However, some people fear that someone might get in their way. Unfortunately, there are only a few sensible people among them, while the irrational ones are disproportionately powerful. Eventually, when they enter the tomb, the Sarira will end up in the victor’s hands. The relic would unquestionably be great nourishment for you. Getting it will provide you enough nutrition, so try and obtain it.”
Upon finis.h.i.+ng his sentence, the Son of the King of h.e.l.l hoisted his ax and left, muttering under his breath, “I wasn’t kicked out by Little Hook. It wasn’t like he didn’t like me back, he was just shy. He even cried when I left! You adults know nothing. This is what you would call a truly beautiful love. Even if Little Hook doesn’t like me as a person, he must’ve at least fallen for my looks. I’m gifted with this handsome face, after all!”
Then, with a swing of his ax, a tree towering before him went cras.h.i.+ng onto the ground.
The reapers arrived anxiously as they found his location, but a cloud of evil aura blanketed the scene. They stammered, “Y-Young Master, we’ve finally found you.”
“Return to the netherworld!” The Son of the King of h.e.l.l sneered viciously, “Whoever that dares to hinder me from meeting Little Hook shall be thrown into the purgatory to be incinerated!”
The reapers remained expressionless, their colorless face evidently paled even more.
Helian Wei Wei peeled her gaze away from the door and looked at Baili Jia Jue right in the eyes. Smiling, she reached for his hands and leaned in to kiss him on his cheek, saying, “Let’s look for the Exorcising Tribe.”
The incoming kiss slowly melted the frostiness in Baili Jia Jue’s eyes.
There was no way that this person did not love him.
The old geezers up there must have thought he would believe their lies.
How foolish of them!
Baili Jia Jue silently snorted as he lifted Helian Wei Wei off her feet, deepening the kiss.
He did it so forcefully that Helian Wei Wei could barely stay on the ground. Thus, she simply lay on him and uttered, “Mhmm… that’s enough.”
“Say you love me.” Baili Jia Jue nibbled at her ears, his cloudy eyes were sullen.
Helian Wei Wei’s brows tightened. It did not hurt, but His Highness was behaving quite oddly. She simply let out a laugh as she kissed him to comfort him, replying, “I love you.”
The suffocating sensation in his chest finally subsided as Baili Jia Jue rea.s.sured himself that the old geezers in the heavens were lying to him. There did not see the way this little thing looked at him. She was gentle but firm, and her hands were extremely well behaved. She allowed him to kiss her anytime, anywhere.
A smile stretched across the man’s face. Parting the fringe covering her forehead, he planted a second kiss there as he said quietly, “Don’t ever leave me.”
“I won’t,” Helian Wei Wei replied quickly. As a Mercenary Tyc.o.o.n, it was a necessary skill to provide her significant other with the feeling of security whenever he lacked it.
Baili Jia Jue looked at the bright-eyed little thing in his arms. Then, he tightened his embrace and added, “No one besides me would take you in any way.”
Helian Wei Wei thought to herself… Does he really need to insult her every single time?
Wait a minute, isn’t I supposed to be the one comforting him?
Why does it sound like he’s rea.s.suring her now? How did the tables turn on me?
“We’ll begin our journey to the tomb tomorrow.” The man’s low and steady voice sounded above her head again, it was both seductive and pleasant, saying, “Don’t wander around there, understand?”
“Yeah, yeah, I know,” Helian Wei Wei replied lazily, as she muttered in her heart. Were we not always together? Where else can I go?
Baili Jia Jue pulled her closer, perhaps to dispel the uneasiness that was brought by the Son of the King of h.e.l.l’s remarks…
Darkness began to fall outside the palace.
The twins in Helian Wei Wei’s abdomen plummeted into deep silence.
Moments later, the smaller fetus moved his hand and said, “Brother, if you stop channeling spiritual aura to me, we would be less of a burden to Mother.”
The bigger fetus did not respond. The crimson in his eyes resembled streaming blood, as he remained uncharacteristically silent.
“Brother.” The smaller fetus struggled to pull him into a hug, and continued calmly, “It’ll be alright. It’s as you said, with Father around, everything can be resolved.”
The bigger fetus s.h.i.+fted and eventually spoke in a somber tone, “You heard that person from earlier too, didn’t you? I’ve been feeding on the aura of resentment all this time, yet what you needed was spiritual energy. It’s obvious that I’m the rotten one. Soon, when the aura of resentment builds up, I’ll lose my mind and attack Mother.”
“Brother, you’re not rotten,” the smaller fetus said firmly, although he was very weak. “You said that you’d bring me out of here with you and we would play together. Without you, I’d be bullied by others, so don’t worry too much. We are definitely going out together.”
The bigger fetus’ eyes darkened. He rested his forehead on his younger twin and hissed coldly, “I’ll suck all those who dare bully you dry!”
“Yeah.” The younger twin plunged into silence for a brief moment. Then, he moved his tiny hands and began releasing all the spiritual aura he had previously absorbed to cancel out the evil Qi radiating off the bigger fetus…
The palace had always been exceptionally efficient, especially the Jiuchong Hall. Under normal circ.u.mstances, Baili Jia Jue should not travel far during such times.
The ministers were expecting him to take the throne soon, so they had prepared a mountain of edicts.
Helian Wei Wei initially thought that it would take them several days before they could depart for their trip, as she expected that the ministers would stop them from leaving.
However, His Highness merely said, “To prevent the destruction of the Divine Exorcism Seal, we must retrieve the Sarira. It’s best if I do it.”
Not only did they not suspect Helian Wei Wei, they felt so touched that they were stunned. Hence, everyone in the palace fervently lauded the Third Prince’s wisdom…
