Chapter 582: Only For Married Couples
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
“A goodnight kiss is not the way of greeting between master and prey, it is only for married couples.” Helian Wei Wei’s face had blushed crimson.
Baili Jia Jue lowered his gaze and stared at her for quite a while.
Helian Wei Wei thought that he was about to say something in response.
“I see…” Baili Jia Jue said before he simply went back to sleep! Out of Helian Wei Wei’s expectations, she was left speechless.
Why was she even feeling nervous just now?!
After concluding that His Highness had no thoughts about her, Helian Wei Wei’s eyelids became heavier and she closed her eyes.
Being in his arms was not warm, perhaps a demon’s body temperature was naturally lower. She felt like she was lying against ice as she was embraced.
Helian Wei Wei was woken up by the freezing cold several times in just one night. But when she saw him sleeping comfortably, she could not bring herself to pull his arm away.
She kept her clear eyes fixated on him, then leaned over and planted a kiss on the corner of his lips.
The next time she awakened was because of noises from outside.
Helian Wei Wei’s frame was slender, to begin with. Undoubtedly, she looked prettiest in the posture when she sat up with her lower body supported.
The man beside her was long gone and Helian Wei Wei had no idea whether it was day or night at the moment as literally, no sunlight could penetrate into the Pandemonium.
However, the great hall was not dark, instead, it shone with elegant brightness as there were dazzling luxurious illuminating pearls all around.
As Helian Wei Wei was captivated by those pearls, she moved her foot slightly and a metal chain sounded.
It turned out that the man had locked her foot using the chain that was on her hands while she was fast asleep. Did this mean that she was not allowed to go anywhere?
However, Helian Wei Wei was never an obedient girl. She felt around the chain with her fingers and tried to understand its mechanism. What came after was the clanging sound of the chain falling to the ground.
The chain was unlocked as she moved her ankle. Her long chestnut brown hair rested right down to her thighs and her skin was so fair that it was almost translucent.
She would appear gorgeous to others when she stood with her back turned.
Baili Jia Jue caught this scene as he strolled into the palace, her beauty had his eyebrows raised. He then embraced her from the back and whispered into her ears, “You need to dress properly before dining, don’t let me remind you about this a second time.”
Helian Wei Wei’s body stiffened as she did not expect that he would show up. Also, she felt that their posture was overly intimate.
But it appeared as though he felt nothing strange and instantly lifted her onto his lap. He pointed to one side with a slender finger and said, “That is your meal for today.”
Helian Wei Wei felt a burning sensation spreading from her back and did not bother looking at where Baili Jia Jue was pointing; she only wanted him to let her go.
She could not concentrate her thoughts as his fur cloak which was still laced with ice frost from outside kept rubbing against her thighs, it was just like shocks of electric current piercing her body.
Seeing how she kept her head lowered, Baili Jia Jue reached his hand out and grabbed her chin to lift her face up. The next second, his eyes turned much deeper than before.
He never knew that humans could be so good looking.
Especially her eyes which were s.h.i.+mmering with moisture and for unknown reasons, even the corners of her eyes were flushed red.
Inexplicably, Baili Jia Jue wanted to see more of her expressions. His hands moved down her body like they were guided by something and rubbed Helian Wei Wei between her legs.
Helian Wei Wei’s body shuddered in thrill as she bit on her lips. Under Baili Jia Jue’s gaze, even her breathing was getting unstable.
Baili Jia Jue’s eyes darkened further but he had sufficient willpower in him. The corner of his eye twitched as he spoke in a wicked tone, “Looks like you really like getting teased by me.”
Helian Wei Wei knew that he was trying to get her started again. Baili Jia Jue pulled back his hand and wiped himself with a handkerchief, following which her eyes clarified and she said with a smile, “I really do like you and I’ve told you that since the beginning, unfortunately, you didn’t want to come with me.”
“You want to bring me to the human world?” Baili Jia Jue questioned with an unbelievably cold smirk. “Save those dumb tricks of yours.”
“Tricks?” Helian Wei Wei frowned. She wondered when she ever used any tricks.
“Don’t ever talk to me about leaving with you. Or else I might not be able to control myself and break these two paws of yours,” Baili Jia Jue said while he clenched his fingers around her wrist. Helian Wei Wei felt an excruciating pain even though he did not exert much force. His eyes turned icy pale and his gaze was so frosty that Helian Wei Wei felt as if she was placed in an icehouse that was biting cold.
Helian Wei Wei stayed silent. Even though Helian Wei Wei would promise all of his words, this was the only thing that Helian Wei Wei could not promise him.
She could not figure out the reason why he was so reluctant to go to the human world.
As Baili Jia Jue saw that she was quiet with her head down, he regained his usual att.i.tude and asked Helian Wei Wei, “Why don’t you have a look at your food?”
“What food?” Helian Wei Wei replied and looked at the direction which he had pointed at previously. There were 20 big fluffy meat buns and all of them were still piping hot. “Are you saying that I am going to eat these for one whole day?” Helian Wei Wei said as the corner of her mouth twitched. Did he think that she was Little Seven?
“Is this not enough for you?” Baili Jia Jue turned and glanced at her.
The number wasn’t the point!
“Hmm. It might be too little as the Sky-swallowing Beast needed 60 of them for a meal,” Baili Jia Jue uttered with a casual tone. “I thought that you wouldn’t need that much because you looked quite little in size,” he continued.
Once more, Helian Wei Wei was at a loss for words.
What did you mean by ‘little’!
I’m almost five foot six!
Which is considered tall among girls!
And now you are comparing me with a mythical beast… Is this even comparable?!
How could a human being compared with the Sky-swallowing beast, one of the four grand mythical beasts?
Wait a minute.
Helian Wei Wei squinted as she thought of something.
Was it a coincidence?
Why did the Sky-swallowing Beast also love meat buns so much?
In fact, before she came here, Whitey had mentioned to Yuan Ming before that Little Seven might be a mythical beast.
Could it be that… the Sky-swallowing Beast was actually Little Seven?
“Can I meet the Sky-swallowing Beast?” Helian Wei Wei asked after she had pondered for a while.
“Not impossible.” Baili Jia Jue replied coldly.
Helian Wei Wei noticed that he seemed to not want her asking questions like this. He was so guarded just like a heartless demon.
It seemed like demons would always be like that.
They would never trust anyone.
Somehow, they were also not hideous like other ghastly wraiths.
Rather, they resembled gentlemen wandering in darkness.
They had their own aesthetics and endless pursuance of elegance.
Take eating as an example, the soul that they targeted must be raised slowly until it was edible, then only they would start to savor it slowly.
As her thoughts reached this point, Helian Wei Wei had suddenly figured out why His Highness would have the habit of locking people in cages.
He was not feeding her as simple prey.
He had thought of her as his food since the beginning…
