Helian Wei Wei's body flew back like a broken kite, the force as strong as a lighting bolt hit her, she could only feel that her whole body was in pain, like her body was ripped apart.
Her c.h.e.s.t rose, and a mouthful of black blood came out.
This blood was no normal blood, but the combination of her internal energy and qi, which made her spit out one of the most poisonous essence of blood!
Ridiculous!
She, the queen of munitions, having hunted countless numbers of tigers, how could she be defeated in this kind of place!
Helian Wei Wei abruptly summon up martial qi, not knowing which meridian she accidentally touched, within her body a powerful mysterious power flowed.
This mysterious power made her unable to breathe as her heart suddenly trembled and fear washed through her. This, to the her who'd always been proud was nearly impossible.
Because her body was no longer within her control, her stiffened body directly fell onto the ground.
She couldn't feel anything, only the sensation of her body being ripped apart, as if a knife was fiercely slashing through every part of her body.
That powerful energy was berserk in her body, flowing towards her dantian, each hit ripping apart the well combined internal energy and inner strength.
What in the world was happening? Where did this strange energy came from? What was it doing?
Feeling the huge energy slowly consuming her inner strength.
Two words suddenly appeared within Helian Wei Wei's consciousness ….. Bite back.
Why was it like this, she didn't understand.
But this situation was very dangerous, the energy was powerful and violent.
Soon, problems would appear, if her internal energy was completely consumed, then the next thing it would consume was her.
Wanted to consume her?
It would need to ask if she agreed or not!
Helian Wei Wei clenched her palm, immediately faced the power head on.
The two different powers were like two strong opponents, fighting each other.
Gradually, the strange power within her body merged together with her internal energy!
Even the leaves surrounding her seemed to have changed too.
Bang!
A streak of blinding light appeared, with the intent to destroy.
Bombarded on the front legs of the demonic beast who wanted tear Helian Wei Wei to shreds.
"Ooow!" a painful roar came out of the demonic beast.
The demonic beast took a step back after the pain. not understanding how such a change could happen to Helian Wei Wei, but the aura of an ancient being made him unable to step closer, so he ran away!
Helian Wei Wei also felt the abnormal power within her as she slowly restrained her hand. Before the power the power raging within her had a chance to dissipate.
She saw the white cat look at her with disbelief: "Your rank went up again?"
"Maybe." Helian Wei Wei moved her wrist. She could tell that her change wasn't as simple as advancing in rank.
The white cat gazed at her deeply: "You can go and kill the demonic beast. To cultivators, the inner core of the demonic beast is a great supplement."
Due to its reminder, Helian Wei Wei recalled that Yuan Ming previously wanted her to consume an inner core. For some reason Yuan Ming was dormant. If she fed him the inner core, he might just wake up.
Of course, this was just a speculation.
However, Helian Wei Wei was someone who did things very quickly. Since the inner core was nothing bad, then she'd just take it first!
With this kind of mindset, Helian Wei Wei immediately jumped up, following the trail of the demonic beast.
The white cat also didn't plan on staying here by itself as it jumped and landed on Helian Wei Wei's shoulder.
They cooperated very well, they were both also excited to kill a beast.
It's just that they didn't expect that the demonic beast that should've died didn't die and instead met other people who just arrived.
The beast seemed to be irritated by the endless numbers humans appearing, furthermore it just received a blow from Helian Wei Wei, now it wasn't in the mood to kill anymore, and just its hunger remained.
"Eat, eat..." the beast abruptly stopped up in front of a man, a deafening roar echoed in the air.
The man lazily looked at the beast, the sun shining on his white robe and his jet black hair, giving off an alluring aura, his voice without the slightest bit of emotion: "Move."
The man probably was used to talking in a demanding tone.
This pissed off the beast!
What the hell!
Usually when humans saw him, they all bowed their head, afraid that it would kill them!
And yet he met two people who didn't care, and the second one was even more annoying than the first!
"Roar!" The beast roared angrily, pouncing to attack the man!
Even facing such a huge beast, the man was unfazed and didn't even bother to dodge. His pair of eyes were calm and hidden in depth as his slender fair hand slowly raised. His fingers that were as fair as ivory bent and a reddist-gold light slowly enveloped his entire right hand.
The beast immediately felt something was wrong, he started trembling, frightened by this scene, quickly stepped back, his eyes filled with fear!
The beast just realized this was someone he shouldn't mess with.
It wasn't because it had just gained wisdom.
Rather, it was because it just hadn't noticed the shadow behind the man.
It was a fire qilin!
The king of all beasts, the fire qilin!
Who could have enough power to contract with the fire qilin!
The beast felt an immense regret, if it had moved when the man said so, then he wouldn't get chased by the fire qilin!
"Roar!"
Another deafening roar, but this time, it's obvious that he was regretful.
With a flash, the beast was gone!
All the beasts within the Spirit Forest started to panic after the roar.
Even the cat on Helian Wei Wei's shoulder tensed up, not knowing why he felt a dangerous presence.
Helian Wei Wei frowned, landed on the ground.
As the trees swayed with the wind, a pair of strong legs appeared from within, then the black rose embroidered golden belt. Lastly the silver mask, and jet black hair behind his back, emoting an alluring and noble feeling, as if a celestial being appeared…..
It's.... the Third Prince?
Chapter 66 - His Highness Was Pretending
Why was he here?
That's weird, wasn't he in front with the advanced students and Helian Jiao Er?
Was the third prince lost too?
Helian Wei Wei looked at the man, squinted her phoenix eyes in confusion.
The cat on her shoulder, exposed his claws, his eyes filled with alert!
Somehow he felt that this human was very dangerous.
Even though he seemed harmless, but something was off.
As a descendant of an ancient spirit beast, he had never felt this way before!
Who was this man?
"Third prince." Helian Wei Wei gently smiled, breaking the silence, "Have you seen a beast?" Why he was here is not important, what's important is the inner core.
Baili Jia Jue nodded.
Helian Wei Wei's eyes shone with excitement: "Where is it now?"
"Didn't have time to see." Baili Jia Jue said in a slowly and imperturbed, when lying he didn't even blush, he even gave off an elegance of a high noble. "You should know that this lord doesn't have any martial qi, it's natural to hide if I see a beast, how can I tell where it
went."
Helian Wei Wei "...."
Fine, blame the sense of oppression from His Highness, it made her forget that he didn't have any martial qi.
Though.
"I thought it was just a rumor." Helian Wei Wei sneakily tested him.
Baili Jia Jue's express
ion didn't change while reached out his hand, summoning his internal energy, but it's just a ball of mist.
This proved that he didn't have martial qi.
Because at least when Helian Wei Wei summoned, the surrounding air would change.
And him, he couldn't even summon any air.
"Are you deliberately looking to see this lords' inability?" Baili Jia Jue half smirked, unable to determine if he's angry or not.
Helian Wei Wei knew what it's like to be treated as a trash and apologetically said: "That's not what I mean."
Baili Jia Jue stayed silent.
Helian Wei Wei didn't even know if he's angry at her or not. She just walked away and continued to chase down the beast.
"You're just leaving?" his husky voice came behind her, Baili Jia Jua looked at her: "What's this lord going to do?"
What did he mean by what was he supposed to do?
Baili Jia Jue slowly walked over, the face covered by the silver mask gradually walked closer, somehow it felt familiar: "You said it yourself that a beast appeared, this lord can't summon martial qi, and you just plan to leave this lord here, not caring about what happens?"
Then? What was she supposed to do?
Helian Wei Wei blinked with confusion.
Baili Jia Jue gave her two words: "Escort me."
Helian Wei Wei: " ...." [How could you, a full grown man say such a thing so naturally!]
Hidden within his spatial space, the fire qilin nearly spit out blood when he heard what his master said, a few years passed, his master was better at acting now!
"We're getting out first, you can go find your beast another time." Baili Jia Jue casually twirled his thumb ring, it didn't seem to matter when you looked at him, he always looked charming like this.
Great, His Highness had planned her schedule already, not giving her any chance to retort!
However, if there's nothing in it for me, then why must she listen to him?
Helian Wei Wei stood there not moving, reached to pet the white cat on her shoulder.
As if knowing what she was thinking, Baili Jia Jue smirked: "What? You don't want to? Then this lord can continue to keep the dragon's inner core."
Dragon's inner core?
The saint core was rarer than a normal beast inner core!
It was said that if you ate one, it counted as ten years of cultivation!
No wonder they said even if the Third Prince didn't have any martial qi, a lot of girls still wanted him.
Aside from his physique, just based on his treasures, all of the distinguished families in the city would run after him.
Helian Wei Wei scoffed, in that moment she felt somewhat off balanced, even though we're both trash.
How was it possible for there to be such a big difference between two people.
For merely taking him along, it was worth it. Anyways it's too late to follow that other beast, plus the inner core of a dragon was indeed precious, since you couldn't really catch any dragons in this continent, usually need to go to the marine areas.
After comparing Helian Wei Wei quickly decided "It's my p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e to escort you, Third Prince."
The dragon's inner core!
I wonder if Yuan Ming will be excited to see the inner core of a dragon when he wakes up.
Baili Jia Jue didn't expose her little plan, he just smirked and glanced at the cat who's full of hostility, and diabolically smiled.
The cat tensed up.
Damn it, why did he have this feeling that this man could see his true self!
Helian Wei Wei also noticed Baili Jia Jue's gaze, expressionlessly said: "I just picked it up, I gave him some clothes, later we can cook him and eat him."
Baili Jia Jue who didn't have any interest in the cat, stopped for a second, glanced at the cat again, with a meaningful gaze: "Don't need to wait, if tonight we can't get out, you can cook it."
The white cat: ....
Helian Wei Wei looked at the cat with pity, her eyes as if saying: 'Sorry, I was just joking, who knew that the Third Prince really wanted to eat you.'
The white cat: 'Don't eat this lord, you're really going to listen to this man and roast this lord!'
Helian Wei Wei sighed: 'He's my employer right now.'
The white cat: '...'
He shouldn't have trusted this human!
However Helian Wei Wei didn't really roast the cat and observed her surroundings. She needed to wait till the fog dissipate, before she could do anything else.
She started a fire, then took a branch, planned to hunt a rabbit to eat.
The climate within the forest was unpredictable, she didn't know when the fog will go away, but not getting hungry was her motto.
She didn't have to tell Baili Jia Jue, since he's sitting by the fire, nothing would happen. Plus the beast just left, so it won't come back for quite some time.
Even for the intelligent Helian Wei Wei, she didn't know that the beast she was thinking of, was already dealt with by the 'no martial qi' Baili Jia Jue, who fed the beast to his pet…. fire qilin.
When Baili Jia Jue was alone by the fire, the fire qilin's satisfied voice appeared from the spatial space, with a husky and alluring tone: "Alone with a woman, Master, are you planning to do something to the woman!"
Chapter 67 - Want A Kiss?
Baili Jia Jue paused for a second and glanced at the Fire Qilin: "Even food can't stop you from talking."
"Master, you summoned me for first time in years, and wasted a inner core of a dragon for the protection of a woman, don't tell me that you have no other intentions." From the way the Fire Qilin talked, it made people imagine things.
Baili Jia Jue played with his thumb ring, a chilly smile appeared: "Before killing the prey, you have to give the prey some reward."
"It doesn't seem like you, to have interest in someone, since you're cold-blooded, you even take her as your prey." The Fire Qilin questioned: "I thought that only an ancient spirit beast like me, can catch a bit of your eye."
Baili Jia Jue eyes glimmered, a thick oppression hovered: "Cold-blooded?"
Even for the Fire Qilin, it was hard to withstand his master's cold gaze, and coughed lightly. "What I meant is that how can you, an honorable person, have any interest in a normal person."
[Phew, it's tiring to please his master!]
The Fire Qilin turned away, his back covered in cold sweat.
Baili Jia Jue smirked: " A person who dared to buy this lord, how can I not have any interest in her?"
No wonder master acted so pervertedly, so there was a reason for it!
He couldn't believe that so many interesting things happened while he was gone!
Furthermore...
"Master, you recognize the cat that's beside the woman right." the Fire Qilin dutiful reminded.
Baili Jia Jue's eyes shone with an unknown emotion, didn't seem to take it seriously: "The descendant of the ancient White Fen clan, also the only prince. He's probably injured, so he revealed his true self, and turned into a dumb cat."
The white cat: "Achoo! Achoo!"
Helian Wei Wei glimpsed at him: "Please, couldn't you at least act like a cat. A cat doesn't sneeze like that."
"Somebody's probably missing this lord." The white cat had a smug expression on: "You should know that the absence of this lord can cause panic throughout the clan."
Swish!
As the branch in Helian Wei Wei's hand moved, another rabbit got caught, she looked at the cat who was situated on top of a stone, with a cold voice: "Someone's probably saying bad things about you."
The white cat: .....
Achoo!
On the other side, the Fire Qilin shook its head and continued: " There seems to be a precursor of a contract between them. It's unbelievable that a woman can let a descendant of the White Fen completely let his guard down, if you have to know they're notorious for their cunning personality. And my honorable master, in this world, I'm the only one who holds the purest ancient blood. And I will only
have one master in my whole life, and that person is you."
Baili Jia Jue didn't reply, his white robe, and his faint smile, his long figure standing, you could see a glimpse of the radiant aura he emitted.
This made all the beasts in the Spirit Forest, feel an unprecedented pulsation in their heart.
The feeling of submission oozing from their blood made their hearts tremble.
They didn't know what happened, but they can tell that a king-like person came into the forest!
However as a human, Helian Wei Wei didn't have such knowledge. Since she caught enough rabbits, she went back to the campfire. With a swift turn of her dagger, the rabbit's skin was cut apart, falling onto the floor.
Normally, a lady who didn't come out from her courtyard, wouldn't know how to do these things.
Baili Jia Jue stared at Helian Wei Wei's experienced movements, his eyes flashed with an unknown emotion.
The white cat stared at him, he's not sure if that man really didn't have any martial qi or not, because he was unsure, that was why he feared him.
Helian Wei Wei mumbled: "That person stayed here for such a long time, and no beast came here."
The white cat humphed: "It's not strange, spirit beasts likes to approach strong people. As for low martial qi cultivators, they are less likely to attract the beasts favor, looks like, this man is not lying, he doesn't have any martial qi."
Helian Wei Wei nodded, completely disregarding all the suspicion she had.
How could this human and cat know, that the beasts didn't come close, not because they didn't want to, but they couldn't!
Within the divine beasts world, the rankings were very strict.
Just because the Fire Qilin didn't appear in front of the white cat, it didn't mean that he didn't appear somewhere else. The aura emitting from him, scared away the beasts before they could even get close. They didn't dare to get close to Baili Jia Jue, unless they wanted to die!
Though, they're thinking too much about it, the Fire Qilin just ate a beast, so it's not very hungry. Currently staying in the spatial space, speculating what his master was going to do next.
Since they've eaten, they were going sleep.
Ha, that's the true meaning of a lone woman spending time with a lone man.
