Chapter 586: She Must Be Mine
Pit-a-pat…
Pit-a-pat…
Pit-a-pat…
The sound of steadily-paced footsteps came from a distance.
The visitor looked at Helian Wei Wei for quite a while, pursed his lips as he lowered himself and pinched her face.
Helian Wei Wei was in a deep slumber. Moreover, the man did not reveal any sign of breath. Thus, it was understandable for her not to sense his presence.
If it were anyone else, Helian Wei Wei would have been awakened by now.
Upon seeing her in such a manner, the man squinted his eyes and with a wave of his hand, a pure white-colored fur coat was draped over Helian Wei Wei’s body.
When Helian Wei Wei felt the warmth, her mouth twitched a little as she tilted her head and slept more soundly.
Fire Qilin was waiting right outside the hall. He gave the man an askance look in silence as he watched the man leaving the room.
Baili Jia Jue glanced at him indifferently. “What? Weren’t you the one who said it would be a waste if the coat was not worn?”
Yes, he did say that!
But, that was not right!
The coat had been touched by him before; it was such an extremely valuable item. To make a piece like this would have cost at least three snow foxes. It was justifiable for Master to make one for himself. However, it had a strange feeling that this fur coat was intentionally made for Lady Wei Wei…
Master had never been so kind to the rest of them before! Even it and Green Dragon had to pay for their attire! Let alone the idea of getting a fur coat!
Fire Qilin lowered his head in dejection while pondering over for a moment. Suddenly both its eyes squinted as its thick claws touched its chin, claw by claw.
Why did he seem to sense that there was something strange about the opposite party?
Could the Master be overly concerned about this new prey…?
It seemed that he must be very meticulous with Lady Wei Wei in the future!
It was because its Master could be double-faced!
For instance, whatever that happened in the Sun Hall earlier today was because its Master had twisted its words along the way!
“When she wakes up tomorrow, let her think carefully if she wants to stay by my side or go back to the human world.” Baili Jia Jue’s husky voice was too deep for Fire Qilin to detect any particular emotion in it. Fire Qilin who was listening attentively by the side nodded. He thought that this was how His Highness generally treated his prey.
Without further deliberation, Baili Jia Jue added coldly, “If she wants to return, break her legs.”
When Fire Qilin heard those words, his nodding came to a halt and his mind froze immediately.
Break… break her legs? His Highness never intended to release Lady Wei Wei right?
It was then Green Dragon walked over. In most situations, he would remain quiet, however, today was an exception. He voiced out, “Your Highness, the interest you have over that human being has already surpa.s.sed the interest you once had for us.”
“Oh?” Baili Jia Jue mused as he cynically twitched the corners of his lips without denying.
Green Dragon continued, “You have quite a few preys that interest you but usually halfway through the process, you would lose interest in domesticating them. Honestly, the expression you had when you looked at that human being just now was very intense. I am not sure why, but I know that you will take things seriously when it arouses your curiosity. However, your seriousness this time around worries me. After all, she is a human being.”
“So what.” Baili Jia Jue’s voice sank.
Green Dragon lowered his eyes and said, “You should know that when human beings are compared to beasts, they are much weaker, not to mention with her unknown background at the moment. It looks like it is going to take some time for her to accept you as her Master.”
“I know,” Baili Jia Jue smiled and said, “That’s why I have been so patient with her.”
“Generally, the more it is for you to put up with, the more it is for you to own it,” Green Dragon prophesied. Baili Jia Jue turned his head around and looked at him.
“Of course, I want to own it. I must own it!”
“This is what your servant fears the most. You have always been so certain about what you want but there is no way you can control a human being’s thinking…” Green Dragon trailed off, but he was telling the truth.
Baili Jia Jue’s eyes turned slightly cold as he said, “That is why I will continue to wait. Wait till she understands. In her world, it is going to be me who makes decisions for her. Don’t even think about leaving as she pleases.”
“But she is a human being. I am afraid by then she would not be able to withstand your anger.” No wonder Green Dragon was the only one who truly knew Baili Jia Jue well. In a deep voice, he said, “The more you care about the prey, the more you would do whatever it takes.”
“That’s why it’s better for her to realize this before I lose my patience, or else I don’t know how I will hurt her then,” Baili Jia Jue muttered with his eyes flashed with iciness.
Green Dragon then advised him, “Since she is unwilling to stay, why not let her go back to the human world before you lose your temper?”
Baili Jia Jue paused his footsteps. In his usual indolent and pressuring tone that no one could resist, he said, “I can’t do it. She must be mine.”
Green Dragon heaved a deep sigh as it fixed its gaze at the view of this proud figure from behind. Back then, when King descended from Heaven, Buddha once said that if he insisted to do so, he would eventually suffer from Heavenly Tribulation.
Don’t tell me that the King’s Heavenly Tribulation has already emerged!
The night sky was as calm as water in Pandemonium. Nighttime was seemingly endless here.
Helian Wei Wei could not tell how long she had been asleep. Anyway, it was a comfortable sleep. After waking up, the first thing she thought of was to meet Baili Jia Jue as soon as possible. Since he did not come to visit her, she could look up for him instead.
With Helian Wei Wei’s clear eyes fixed on the cage, in a bang, she kicked her way through!
Such a deafening thump would have caught the attention of the beast who was responsible to guard her. Thus, its first reaction was to lock Helian Wei Wei up again.
If His Highness loses his prey, then they will be unlucky!
Yet, His Highness has already ordered them to not hurt her.
Thus, they did not dare to make the final call. As a result, this saved Helian Wei Wei a lot of trouble. With a few gusts of wind, she was out of the palace. Then, she changed into a random outfit and b.u.t.toned up as she openly marched toward the Hall of Light.
No doubt she was witty but when she reached the Hall of Light, she was stopped by the beasts. With enlarging nostrils and rounded eyes, in a hoa.r.s.e voice, they said, “Lady Wei Wei, please turn around.”
There was indeed no gap for her to pa.s.s through. Helian Wei Wei shook her head. Xiao Kui who wanted to collect something walked out from the Hall and coincidentally witnessed the scene. She guffawed, “I was wondering who could it be, making so much noise outside this morning. It turns out to be you. Oh no, have you not given up?”
Helian Wei Wei stared at her; her eyes turned slightly cold.
Xiao Kui was taken aback by those eyes, in a rage, she exclaimed, “Who do you think you are! How dare you glare at me?! Let me tell you, His Highness treats Sister Ni very well. In a while, he is going to visit Sister Ni. If you do not know your grounds, I will let His Highness deal with you!”
“Deal with me?” Helian Wei Wei snickered. All of a sudden, she appeared right in front of Xiao Kui.
Even though Xiao Kui had exorcism power, she did not manage to keep track of how Wei Wei s.h.i.+fted at that moment. By the time she came to her senses, she was already being lifted by the opposite party and being tossed to the ground!
