Chapter 780: Wei Wei Made Right Guess Of The Babies
Bang!
Lastly, Baili Jia Jue landed his foot on the poisonous spider’s belly!
There was no need for him to use a lot of strength to make the poisonous spider suffer because it was on its dying breath as more and more blood spurt out from its throat. Hence, death was unstoppable.
Helian Wei Wei silently watched as the scene unfolded, she thought to herself that this Mr. Spider must never have thought that it would die from overeating one day.
As a matter of fact, dying from overeating was an extremely slow process and it was much more miserable than being dead because of a thousand cuts.
The poisonous spider would keep that last breath shortly, and then it would rather be dead than alive!
After finis.h.i.+ng off the poisonous spider, Baili Jia Jue turned back again but this time, the smile had evidently vanished from his face and as his eyes fell on Helian Wei Wei’s wound again, countless black feathers fell behind him and there were even a few cracks on the rocks beneath his feet!
“If I hadn’t been able to find you, I’ll crush all the living and non-living creatures in here,” his tone was the same as before and it was so light that no one could decipher his emotion.
Yet, Helian Wei Wei knew clearly at that moment, he meant what he said.
Anyone could tell that just by looking at the graveyard’s stone walls that he had smashed through.
She clearly understood that, deep down, Baili Jia Jue was dark and cruel no matter how elegant and refined he appeared to be.
It just depended on which side he would rather show the world.
In her presence, he would even clean off the bloodstains from the people that he had killed before letting her open her eyes.
It was as if he was trying to maintain his best image in her heart or refraining himself from doing many things because she was around.
For instance, Ni Hu’s repeated provocations.
If His Highness was alone, even without contemplating, Helian Wei Wei knew the kind of horrible death that awaited Ni Hu.
His Highness was fully capable of making him suffer like the poisonous spider to the point that he would feel that death was a relief from life.
Be it his birth mother or his Imperial Father, he was despised from a very young age.
It was not that she had never seen how he was during his childhood, but it was exactly because she had seen it so she could feel the pain.
Maybe, this was how it felt like to love someone.
You would only worry about his well-being even if he was a murderer that had killed many individuals.
Helian Wei Wei reached out her arms to hug His Highness as she chuckled, “Don’t worry, I’m not hurt, you came just in the nick of time.”
The man’s tall figure paused shortly and all the hostility turned into gentleness as he slowly extended his hands. He then pushed her head close to melt into his embrace and pursed his thin lips. “It’s too late to flatter me now, but this will only happen once!”
The last sentence was directed to himself.
The moment Helian Wei Wei disappeared, Baili Jia Jue finally had a taste of remorse as described by the humans.
Be it a human or a devil.
He had never known regret.
Nothing could escape his hands.
Nonetheless, he felt regretful at that moment, he blamed himself for not holding this id*ot’s hands and he was remorseful for not finding this freaking spider out to kill it in the first place!
Baili Jia Jue’s arms tightened and his deep voice was like that of quicksand, “I should really lock you up so that you can’t go anywhere else.”
“That won’t do because I need to find Sarira to feed our babies,” Helian Wei Wei smiled beautifully and shortly after, she seemingly recalled something and narrowed her bright eyes. “Why would that spider say that there’s plenty of spiritual aura in my stomach, isn’t it supposed to be magical aura? How strange!”
Baili Jia Jue raised his eyebrows, “In other words, you were targeted because of the little fellow in your belly.”
Helian Wei Wei replied in the affirmative, “That’s not the point here.”
“I’d said before, the brat is already a troublemaker even before it’s born,” Baili Jia Jue was unsatisfied about the brat for a long time now. Even if it was his child but that did not stop him from despising it.
The bigger fetus heard what Baili Jia Jue said and protested immediately, “If you were to say about troublemaker, Imperial Father would be the one!”
The smaller fetus did not respond to the bigger fetus as it was thinking about something with its tiny head hung low.
The bigger fetus continued to snort, “If it wasn’t for Imperial Father’s who was a womanizer back then, there wouldn’t be a fake Phoenix Girl that would come and fight over the Sarira with Imperial Mother. Besides causing a mess in the Capital, she has not only disturbed Imperial Mother but also tainted me with Qi of Yin! Leaving Imperial Mother having no choice but to enter the graveyard…”
“It’s all because of me,” The smaller fetus interrupted the bigger fetus dispirited.”Imperial Mother wouldn’t lose her spiritual aura and martial Qi if it wasn’t for me. I have thought it through, big brother would always eat whatever you catch outside but I’ve to rely on spiritual aura to maintain my current appearance. Imperial Mother lost her spiritual aura when I took form, not to mention that the poisonous spider targeted Imperial Mother because of the scent I gave off. Perhaps Imperial Mother would be better off if I don’t exist.”
The bigger fetus only looked at the smaller fetus without saying a word.
Shortly after, he embraced the smaller fetus, dismissing his pride but keeping his gentleness. “If you were to put it that way, then I should be the one who shouldn’t exist because I’m Imperial Mother’s nemesis. At the moment, I have brought in a large amount of Qi of Yin to her being in her stomach alone. Wait until I’m born, I may not only lose my senses but will most likely harm our Imperial Mother. Whenever I think about this, I feel that I might as well just stay in Imperial Mother’s belly forever, or never existed, at least this way, Imperial Mother won’t be in danger.”
“No, you must be here.” The smaller fetus lowered its head again. “You’re so useful, you can even protect Imperial Mother when in need.”
The bigger fetus did not retort.
The smaller fetus went silent too.
Both of them hugged each other for warmth but they could not find a way around their thoughts.
Helian Wei Wei caressed her abdomen as though she had noticed what was going on in her stomach and her motion was gentler than before. With both of her eyes fixed on Baili Jia Jue, she parted her lips in a clear voice, “He’s not a burden, he’s the one I loved the most after you.”
Baili Jia Jue was not prepared for the sudden confession and he held out his hand to cover Helian Wei Wei’s eyes before pressing his thin lips against hers. His breath was warm.
Helian Wei Wei enjoyed the familiar mint scent and rested herself in his arms. She allowed him to examine her wound and her fingers may be weak but she did not forget the matter at hand, “You always think that our baby is a devil, right?”
“Yes,” Baili Jia Jue’s immersive eyes were fixated on Helian Wei Wei’s bleeding ankle, but who knew what was on his mind.
Helian Wei Wei frowned, “Yet, the poisonous spider said that the baby in me possesses spiritual aura and its sense of smell should be accurate, unless…”
