  The more Wei Wei about it, the more it seemed possible, as she lightly smiled and curved her thin lips. "I think your distinguished self has misunderstood my identity. I'm the gambling joint's boss and certainly am not some male escort."

  The fire qilin concealed in the Dark Illusory Space was puzzled. For what reason did this woman suddenly mention male escorts?

  Did she not recognize master?

  How can that be.

  It's only been two days since they saw each other, right?

  Oh!

  He's got it. It's because she's in a disguise!

  Heh, did she think that this disguise of hers could fool master?

  She truly was too naive, goodness, when they were in Spirit Forest a long time ago, Master had already seen through her, alright? !

  But, what the heck was the male escort about?

  The fire qilin's brows creased a bit tightly.

  Actually, even Baili Jia Jue also looked up, and faced Wei Wei to glance at her again.

  It would appear from his normal demeanor that he should not have recognized her.

  Otherwise, based on Third Prince's temper, when he first saw her, he should've already charged over, used his freezing skill directly, and she'd be dead instantly.

  Yet now, he merely took another glance at her, and there was even a faint smile brewing within.

  Wei Wei looked down and concealed the arc at the ends of her mouth, while she willed herself to be polite. She shouldn't treat Third Prince with her former attitude. When doing business, one needed to have the manners of a businessman.

  Baili Jia Jue watched that extremely estranged, polite expression of hers, and his eyes abruptly submerged, the ice-coldness within his pupils also immediately spread out rapidly. The hand grasping the teacup subsequently tightened extremely forcefully, almost crushing that porcelain cup between his fingers.

  Wei Wei saw that the other party didn't speak and even thought that she wasn't detailed enough when she spoke, and bluntly explained clearly. "If your distinguished self could decrease the quantity of gold a bit, I could help find a few male escorts to serve you."

  Having heard what was said, the fire qilin drew in a breath!

  This girl meant to say that...say that...his master…..

  The fire qilin swallowed his saliva, simply didn't dare to look at the side of his master's face getting icier, it again was positive that that this girl was screwed!

  "How about it?" Wei Wei felt that she was already very sincere as she used a devilish smile and looked at Baili Jia Jue with a look that said 'I understand you'.

  The young man also smiled and said in a pleasant voice layered with a bewitching coolness meant for deceivingly stirring up a person's emotions. "Your way of doing things is very good, your words sound very enticing, however..." While Baili Jia Jue was speaking, he was also slowly facing Wei Wei as he walked over, the light in his eyes fiercely forcing her into a corner...

  Chapter 121 - His Jealous Highness

  The beautiful youngster provocatively raised his chin, his delicate face completely showed that it's incidental. "This partner of mine can only be ordered by me. Imperial Older Brother almost forgot that this is actually not the capital, but rather Armament City. Anyways it doesn't matter, I actually very much look forward to Imperial Older Brother's arrival."

  Baili Jia Jue didn't speak. All of his feelings were hidden beneath that exquisite and luxurious silver colored mask.

  Even though Helian Wei Wei wanted very much to move away that youngster's arm!

  However, having just experienced that act, Wei Wei had an even more profound understanding of that person, Baili Jia Jue's level of danger.

  It was evident that night now, regardless of whether it was martial qi or martial arts power, she was much inferior to him and by far.

  As intelligent as he was, if she exposed any little bit of her secrets, one couldn't say whether Baili Jie Jue would be suspicious of her.

  When that time comes, she need not think that she could be as lucky as she was when she was at the capital.

  Baili Jia Jue was already frightening enough when he had no martial qi. If he'd recovered now, then he'd truly be unmeasurable and unfathomable.

  Therefore, Wei Wei still felt that she had better not strike a stone with an egg (invite disaster by overreaching herself) and cooperate with the youngster to put on a play. At the very least, she wouldn't immediately get captured away.

  As she was thinking about this, Wei Wei suddenly sensed her own shoulder lighten up. In her confusion, Wei Wei looked up. To her surprise, she unexpectedly discovered Baili Jia Jue holding firmly to that arm belonging to the beautiful youngster's. His deeply hidden pair of eyes profoundly looked at her, brimming with ice-cold dangerousness...

  The always calm Wei Wei, under that kind of attentive gaze from him, actually felt something indescribable.

  Maybe it was because she was currently in disguise, that's why she lacked confidence, she presumed.

  Wei Wei looked down, couldn't see his face and only saw his foot. It's obviously still the person from just now, but the person he was right now appeared as if his whole body emitted a kind of formless pressure pressing down on her, making it difficult to breathe.

  Suddenly, he directly shook off the youngster's arm and extended his hand to grab her and dragged her over.

  Bang!

  Only the sound of the door being open was heard.

  It seemed as if the entire guest house shook along with the door.

  Baili Jia Jue didn't care about the youngster behind him in the slightest as he dragged the already shouting Wei Wei with him and left the room.

  The beautiful youngster wanted to chase after them, but was firmly bound to his original spot by a red light!

  "Fire qilin?" The beautiful youngster looked at the faintly discernible red-haired man. His pair of eyes suddenly shook as he said, "You came back? Then that meant that his martial qi had completely recovered?"

  The fire qilin didn't speak. Sometimes, it was as elevated and cold as its master.

  In any case, its mission right now was to trap Young Master Han and prevent him from disturbing Master again and that's enough. He didn't need to bother with any other matters.

  Only, what it didn't anticipate was that the beautiful youngster instead smiled demonically. "Do you really think that in trapping me, your master would not be in danger? It's exactly the opposite. You should think about it carefully. Even I can obtain news to find out that Imperial Elder Brother has come to Armament City, let alone those old heads from the four great clans. If I were you, right now, I would rush out there and not stand here wasting time. Imperial Elder Brother had only just recovered his martial qi, right? Are you certain that he's fine on his own?"

  The light in the fire qilin's eyes darkened as he suddenly thought of something, and was just about to fly out, but discovered that the command its master had just given to it was an 'absolute order'.

  The so-called 'absolute order' stipulated that no matter what happened, the command still must be carried out until the end.

  In other words, it basically could not leave this place even a half step!

  But Master, he...

  The fire qilin clenched his pair of fists, faced and looked outside of the guest house, but he couldn't see even a trace of the person's figure.

  It's raining.

  The raindrops followed along the tiles and dripped bit by bit onto the bluestone alley.

  Pitter patter – – pitter patter – –

  Baili Jia Jue was standing in the middle of the rain. His clean and neat clothes wasn't disheveled in the slightest.

  The pupils beneath the silver mask was like the night where layer upon layers of cold fog rose.

  Just like that, he directly dragged Wei Wei and ran to the middle of an uninhabited dark alley. Suddenly, he took and pushed her against a wall!

  Wei Wei was forced to raise her head, her gaze indistinctly faced the young man's thin lips.<
br />
  Her eyes were dazzling and bright.

  In front of her, at one side of the young man's lip, there was still a captivating remnant of the blood stain from her biting him just now. His black hair that was scattered and dr.a.p.ed over his shoulders was wet from the raindrops falling on it, slightly appearing ice-cold.

  His gaze was also as it'd always been, swift and fierce, tyrannical, cold and detached, proud, and there even was also a bit of an impenetrable feeling.

  At this moment, Baili Jia Jue's entire body's aura was not gentle and soft, but rather implied a cold aura.

  He was an intelligent and noble person. His appearance of knitted brows and silent pursed lips was like that of someone from a centuries old imperial family. Despite him having really inherited this noble lineage,

  However, behind his smile was a kind of cunning and sinister, an expression that reigned his supremacy.

  Wei Wei was frightened and was just about to make a move with the silver knife under her sleeve, but the the words he spit out startled her into staying put.

  "You still want to pretend?" He leaned his body, his thin lips were plastered by the side of her ears, those very soft words completely transmitted inside her ear without missing a single word.

  Wei Wei was suddenly unable to move. He already knew early on that it was her?

  But that just didn't make sense.

  She even disguised her body.

  Just how did he recognize her?

  Couldn't be that he was bluffing and drawing her out again, right?

  "This Highness told you before to wait for me to straighten you out, yet you ran away. Heh, you should know that if you let me capture you, I absolutely wouldn't easily let you off." Baili Jia Jue's bewitchingly cool voice once again transmitted over.

  This time, Wei Wei was certain that the other person had recognized her.

  It didn't matter how he recognized her.

  However, he won't easily let her off?

  My goodness, she merely didn't cooperate with him in putting on that play.

  He then relentlessly pursued and struck at her, even playing with her like that just now...

  Thinking to here, Wei Wei could be considered to be cool-headed and also somewhat couldn't help but say. "That's why you treated me like that just now? Third Prince, you also should've had enough of playing around, right?"

  "Play?" Baili Jia Jue's pupils sunk deeper. She thought he was playing around? The fingers concealed under his sleeves slowly tightened up, they were the same as ancient elephant tusks, carrying a faint anger.

  How many times had it been now, again and again, he'd been lenient on her.

  And yet unexpectedly, she and another man wrapped arms around each other's shoulders.

  Within the pupils of his eyes now as red as blood, fit after fit of rage ignited as he used force to grip her chin, the tone of his voice was dark and cold. "And if this Highness has not had enough of playing, then?"

  "It doesn't matter if you've played enough or not, this game should end here." Wei Wei admitted that she wasn't able to strategize better than him. "Kill me or cut off my flesh as you wish."

  "In your heart, am I such a cruel person?" Baili Jia Jue slightly turned his eyes and gazed towards her, the corners of his lips twitched slightly.

  Wei Wei raised her eyebrows. If not, then?

  He racked his brains like this just to catch her, wasn't it only to give her a lesson.

  "Heh..." Baili Jia Jue suddenly smiled lightly and spoke. Besides the usual ice-coldness, there contained even a kind of exceedingly oppressive dangerousness, as if it serenely hid in the depths of the abyss in hell and broke through its shell to come out. "Sometimes, I really want to take your hands and feet, break them into pieces, and tie them by the side of the door. You should know that a prey that's not obedient, will still be more obedient with its claws removed..."

  Chapter 122 - Provoking His Highness

  Baili Jia Jue really hated Wei Wei fiercely, yet when he saw her, he again felt that it was still better to allow her to leap about and be lively.

  Up until now, Baili Jia Jue still didn't feel that Wei Wei was anything special to him, and was but a momentarily stimulating prey.

  It's just that this prey was too disobedient.

  So he was forced to personally come and catch her.

  The result was that he hadn't even arrived at Armament City and she'd already gained one more partner.

  She even allowed her true appearance to be seen by the other person.

  Right now, Baili Jia Jue only felt that he really wanted to bring shame upon this face before his eyes, so that she'd become well-behaved and obediently stay by his side.

  Regardless of what method to use!

  Baili Jia Jue's deeply hidden pair of enigmatic shapely eyes was like an ancient deep pool.

  Wei Wei's pupils actually constricted as she listened. And he still said he wasn't cruel. This was even more perverted than wanting to kill her or slicing off her flesh!

  "However, this Highness already chose you to be my consort." Baili Jia Jue looked at her, suddenly the topic of conversation turned. He indifferently continued to say. "I don't have a habit of killing my own consort at all."

  Consort?

  Wei Wei frowned. What in the world was he thinking?

  Was it possible that he genuinely wanted to choose her as his consort?

  However, she wouldn't get emotional on her own behalf because this two-faced, fickle guy would likely depose her...

  No one could say that they haven't played enough one second before and then at the next second say that 'she was his consort' these kinds of words.

  Unless...

  "Retired Emperor forced you very severely?" Wei Wei thought of the current political situation. The emperor was muddle headed all day long over there. Even if Retired Emperor was any more outstanding, he was still already old. Right now, the four great clans also pressured fiercely. Baili Jia Jue's age was also not young anymore. If he still didn't get married, maybe it'd really allow some rumors of his homos.e.x.u.a.lity to spread.

  At that time, people from the four great clans would have even more justification to have him not succeed the throne.

  Afterall, someone who couldn't even give birth to a prince was worse than a cripple!

  That's why, Retired Emperor was so anxious to have him choose a consort.

  And he, himself, also couldn't fail to realize this point.

  Thinking up to here, Wei Wei's eyes looked down slightly. She appeared to be absolutely languid and seemed as if even the acute coldness she'd just emitted was a kind of hazy illusion only.

  In modern times, her disguises penetrated deeply into the crime syndicate. Using this skill, she'd deceived who knows how many heavyweights.

  Yet Baili Jia Jue just simply didn't buy her act, his eyes clearly distinguished black and white and looked at her with a deep meaning, giving a person a kind of formless pressure.

  Wei Wei sincerely felt that she wanted to chat with Third Prince for a day. It'd be as tiring as making business deals.

  However, only by understanding what the other person wanted.

  Could cooperation be possible.

  That's right. It's cooperation.

  From the very beginning, Wei Wei already didn't want to be this young man's enemy.

  If she had a choice, she also wouldn't offend him.

  After all, in War Dragon Empire, relationsh.i.p.s were linked in countless ways and Third Prince absolutely was a guy who should not be scorned.

  She needed to form alliances with people.

  And he very clearly...needed a consort.

  Wei Wei looked up. When she looked towards him her eyes were tranquil. "I know that right now, you really need a consort. I also have things I need."

  Baili Jia Jue's pupils submerged. What did she mean by he really needed a consort?

  "We can work together." Wei Wei slowly spoke. "I can help you deal with Retired Emperor's side, and can coordin
ate with you."

  "Coordinate?" Baili Jia Jue coldly turned down his thin lips, indicating that she should continue. He actually wanted to hear what she meant by coordinating!

  Wei Wei saw that he had some interest and followed with a smile. Her voice also contained more confidence. "I can marry you, but you can be at ease, I wouldn't restrict you. You can do whatever you want to do, and you don't have to care about me at all. When the time comes that the problem with Retired Emperor is resolved, and you also settled the four great clans and smoothly ascend the throne, it'll then be fine to depose me and send me out of the palace. When that time comes, you can marry whoever you truly like, I absolutely wouldn't stop you and wouldn't have any delusion."

  After all, Baili Jia Jue was only looking for a shield.

  She just happened to have unfortunately coincidentally bumped into his sore spot.

  Wei Wei didn't know that she'd provoked Third Prince in this way and became a thorn in his eyes.

  However, since no matter how she ran away, she still couldn't escape.

  Why not instead coordinate with him to perform a play.

  Overall, it's still better than how she was the the moment, troubled by him looking for her everywhere.

  As long as the conditions had been discussed properly, it wouldn't disturb her at all.

  And not merely that. Their targeted enemy was also the same. The things that she wanted to seize and regain, undoubtedly will require her to face off against those stubborn elders from the four great clans.

  And he probably also already hated them to the bone.

  When the moment came, the two of them would join hands to do what they should do, then go their separate ways, neither one obstructing the other. That's so much better.

  How come she didn't think of this idea before.

  Third Prince should also be satisfied with this proposal.

  Sure enough, Wei Wei's voice had just dropped when a rather deep and low voice rose on the other side. Only, within that voice, an extremely icy chill was brewing. Heard within the ears, they surprisingly felt somewhat cold.

  "This truly is a good suggestion."

  A few short words. Baili Jia Jue spoke them extremely casually. The gaze he used to look at Wei Wei was also lazy and indifferent.
