  Crash!

  Following the disappearance of Helian Wei Wei, the candlelight in front of the window extinguished. Even the teacups on the table were shattered on the floor.

  It gave Shadow the heebie-jeebies.

  The person who shattered the teacups was impassive; his fingers casually unbuttoning the clothes he was wearing while approaching slowly.

  Shadow involuntarily let out a sigh of relief, slowly retreated, and carefully shut the door. He wiped at his forehead which was covered with a sheen of sweat.

  It was unusual to see His Highness being this way.

  On the second day, before the sun rose, Helian Wei Wei hiked to the peak of White Academy, observing every move of the students.

  "Woman, your way of searching is like looking for a needle in a haystack." It was the first time Yuan Ming woke up this early, and he was still excited. "Why don't we find a teacher to threaten instead?"

  Helian Wei Wei yawned, "I don't want to be driven out from the academy yet."

  "Are we going to keep standing here?" Yuan Ming looked at the empty surrounding.

  Helian Wei Wei glanced at him. "There's nothing to be afraid of, Qing Zhan is going to deliver us food anyway."

  "Don't you have to go to class?" Yuan Ming raised his eyebrows.

  Helian Wei Wei smiled gently. "I've taken leave."

  "It's unexpected for the teacher to approve your leave." That little old man who wanted to strangle this woman to death every time he saw her, when did he become so agreeable?

  Helian Wei Wei rubbed her little tummy with the hand she covered it with. "As a woman, there will surely be a few days every month that we don't feel well. This was what I've told him."

  Yuan Ming did a double-take, then quietly covered his face. "That little old man surely went ballistic the moment he heard you."

  "No, he didn't. He blushed as if I've harassed him." Helian Wei Wei tiredly yawned, "I've no interest in such an old man."

  Yuan Ming was speechless.

  However, after that, he found out that Helian Wei Wei was indeed not feeling well. He furrowed his thick brows and took out some strawberries for Helian Wei Wei to regain her vitality.

  "Third Aunt." The Little Seventh Prince, who was not holding a meat bun this time, was looking majestic in his prestigious clothing. Following his sides were two Little Bald Heads, making him look like a little emperor on patrol. "Are you not feeling well?"

  Helian Wei Wei honestly replied, "Slightly."

  The Little Seventh Prince, taking this matter seriously with a frown, faced the Little Bald Heads beside him and commanded, "Go to Third Brother's place and tell him that Third Aunt is not feeling well."

  "Yes!" Both Little Bald Heads was just about to fly off.

  Immediately, Helian Wei Wei reached out her hands to drag them back. "Don't over exaggerate, I'll be alright after some rest, both of you can fall back now."

  The two Little Bald Heads looked toward the Little Seventh Prince.

  The Little Seventh Prince waved his hand; the expression and the imposing manner were so similar to the Third Prince.

  Helian Wei Wei curiously stated, "I've never seen these two Little Bald Heads before."

  "They are the shadow guards Third Brother asked me to choose myself." The Little Seventh Prince vigorously said, "These two Little Bald Heads are the only ones that are acceptably pleasing to my eyes."

  Helian Wei Wei raised her brows. According to the principle, the one that could have his own shadow guards had the highest possibility to inherit the throne. Not to mention, the Third Prince's shadow guards were designated by the emperor's father.

  Now that man got the Little Seventh Prince to choose his own shadow guards…the objective was obvious. He would be the one to influence decisions behind the scenes, and in the end, the throne would be inherited by the Seventh Prince.

  But...

  "Is there anyone else that knows about this?" Helian Wei Wei was worried about this. If anyone discovered Baili Jia Jue's idea, this little one would be in a dangerous position.

  As expected, the Little Seventh Prince shook his head, went beside Helian Wei Wei and sat down like a little cub. "Last year, my Third Brother told me not to tell anyone about this."

  "And you still told me." Helian Wei Wei thought to herself. So it started last year? How long has he been planning for this?

  The little one raised his head, looking aggressive. "You're my Third Aunt, not anyone else."

  Helian Wei Wei wanted to embrace this child once again. He was way too punky. "When you're out of jerky, get it from me, I'll ask someone to buy for you."

  "Okay!"

  As predicted, only meat was capable of bringing joy; his eyes were sparkling!

  The little one stared at her. "Are we really not going to tell my Third Brother?"

  "No." Helian Wei Wei waved her hand.

  The little one put down the wooden stick that he was holding. "Then, you will miss out on a chance to strive for a favor. You shouldn't."

  Helian Wei Wei was amused. "You even know about striving for a favor."

  "When I was younger and wanted to see my Third Brother, I'd bawl my eyes out, and he would come and feed me some meat." This little one was absolutely trying to share his experience. He looked so earnest.

  However…. Is it fine to eat meat when you're sick?

  Obviously, the Third Prince did not know much about taking care of others.

  The Little Seventh Prince was not good at this as well.

  How did these two brothers grow up...?

  Helian Wei Wei sighed and playfully said, "Didn't you hear what the others say? Your Third Brother married me just to deal with the Retired Emperor, and you still treated me as someone that can be trusted by telling me all these."

  "Don't listen to their nonsense." The little one jumped down and stared at Helian Wei Wei with an extremely serious face.

  Shadow, who was listening at the side, felt gratified. He never thought that the Little Seventh Prince was so sensible. He could even stand up for Baili Jia Jue already.

  However, what the little one said next made him startle.

  He said, "My Third Brother married you clearly because you can cook well!"

  Shadow, Yuan Ming, and Helian Wei Wei were speechless.

  The Third Prince fell for me because of… my cooking skills?

  "Being able to cook well is more than enough." The little one arrogantly snorted, "The others know nothing."

  Shadow and the others indeed did not understand. Having good cooking skills alone could qualify to become a Princess Consort. What the h*ll is this!

  "Hahaha, he is indeed the Little Seventh Prince." Sitting on the chair, Nangong Lie's tummy ached from laughing too hard. "Ah Jue, I've known you for long, it's the first time I've heard that you choose a Princess Consort for her cooking skills."

  Baili Jia Jue glared at him.

  Nangong Lie, noticing Baili Jia Jue's expression, immediately straightened up.

  Baili Jia Jue stood up and took the white napkin from Shadow to wipe his own hands.

  Nangong Lie turned his gaze around. "But the academy is not peaceful nowadays. All of a sudden, there are two new transfer students. Ah Jue, you've never seen the girl before. She's quite good looking and looks familiar."

  Shadow's heart thumped when he heard that.

  Baili Jia Jue seemed to be slightly distracted.

  Nangong Lie raised his brows and continued, "Do you want to go to the academy with me and take a look at her?"

  Chapter 293 - True Brothers

  "Not interested."

  These words were like ice beads, freezing the air in the entire house.

  Shadow heaved a sigh of relief and relaxed.

  Nangong Lie turned and looked deeply at Shadow. He then walked out with the fan in his hand. As he walked past Shadow, he smiled slyly and asked, "Shadow, you are acting strange today. Are you trying to hide something from me?"

  Shadow stiffened upon hearing thi
s. He was stammering, not knowing what to say.

  Nangong Lie was satisfied with Shadow's reaction. He left the room with a smile on his face.

  As compared to this bunch of boring people, Little Seven that Little Tiger Head was much more adorable.

  But, he would bite whoever he managed to catch except Baili Jia Jue as he dared not mess around with him. The others simply could not catch him!

  However, this Little Tiger Head was now very well-behaved. He let Helian Wei Wei hold one of his small hands while he was busy eating jerky with the other. He looked at her with his big round eyes and said, "This is where I usually practice martial arts."

  As he was talking, he bent down and lifted a huge rock. He moved it aside easily as if he was inviting her into his home.

  Helian Wei Wei was observing the entrance of the cave. There was nothing strange about it. It was just that the temperature was fairly moderate.

  "Little Wild, move aside."

  As Helian Wei Wei was having such a thought, she saw the little one chasing away the giant creature in front of them. However, there was nothing strange about it.

  "That's a magical beast," Yuan Ming said with an evil tone, "I have never thought that someone will dare to rear a magical beast in the White Academy. The Seventh Prince surely has some guts."

  The magical beast named Little Wild was rolling its eyes. Then its blood-red eyes fixed its gaze on Helian Wei Wei as if it had sensed the danger posed by Helian Wei Wei.

  The Little Tiger Head patted it and said, "Little Wild, behave yourself. She's my Third Aunt. My third brother will send the Fire Qilin to bite you if you treat her badly. Be good and move aside. I'm going to rest."

  The magical beast did listen to him and went inside. The temperature in the cave was relatively low, most likely because of the magical beast and thus making it comfortable to stay.

  Helian Wei Wei and the Little Tiger Head were sitting next to each other. She then looked at the cave and asked, "How did this magical beast get in?" It probably would not stupidly get in by itself.

  "I met Little Wild when I was practicing martial arts on the mountain that day. It was injured. Hence, I brought it back with me."

  Helian Wei Wei took a look at Little Wild again. She was visually examining his size.

  Little Seven, don't say in such a manner as if bringing it back is as easy as picking up an egg!

  It's so huge!

  Little Tiger Head rubbed the head of the magical beast. Even though he could barely reach its head due to his height, he still acted like its master. "The Forest of Fantasy was in chaos. When I first met Little Wild, its face was covered in blood. I wanted to bring it out for a walk since it had regained its health. However, Third Brother stopped me as it was still not the right time."

  Helian Wei Wei laughed awkwardly. Bringing it out for a walk? It can probably kill three people with a single step. If it's not for so, the students of the entire academy will also go to the dean to complain about this!

  Helian Wei Wei thought for a moment and said, "Your brother is right. Now is not the right time." Then, she fed the magical beast with a strawberry. The strawberry was plucked from the Spiritual Space. It is able to strengthen your physical health and improve your skin condition. It also has a wonderful effect in healing the wounds of magical beasts and mythological beast."

  In order to escape from the omen, Whitey has been staying there. It's most likely that he will be able to get out soon...

  The magical beast swallowed the strawberry. Then, it looked at Helian Wei Wei and took the initiative to move further inside.

  Little Tiger Head happily leaned himself on its soft and huge body. He was fighting back his sleepiness even though he was tired. He then complained, "The dean forbids me from eating meat again."

  "Why?" Helian Wei Wei pulled him into her arms so that the little one could sleep comfortably.

  Little Tiger Head's began to slur. "I hit my uncles and refused to let them use the toilet."

  Helian Wei Wei's mouth twitched. "Who's the one who taught you this?"

  "My Third Brother said that it was useless to hit them. I needed to let them have a mental breakdown. My teachers always refused to let me use the toilet during class and it was devastating to me. Thus, I decided to let them get a taste of this." Little Seven slowly fell asleep in Helian Wei Wei's arms.

  Helian Wei Wei rubbed her temples in resignation. They were truly brothers...

  But, Helian Wei Wei asked Yuan Ming, "Is it normal for magical beasts to appear around the academy?"

  Yuan Ming raised his eyebrows, "It's not. You have to ask Whitey to find out more about this. He knows more about these beasts than I do."

  Helian Wei Wei acknowledged it. She then fell asleep with the little one in her arms.

  It was already mealtime when both of them woke up.

  Qing Zhan was standing outside the cave, not knowing whether to get in or not. As she was hesitating, Helian Wei Wei walked out with the Little Seventh Prince.

  Little Tiger Head did not treat Qing Zhan as nice as he was to Helian Wei Wei. He glanced at him and asked, "You served Lie right. Why are you following my Third Aunt?"

  Qing Zhan kneeled respectfully and said, "For Seventh Prince's information, I am the death knight of the Third Prince. Before this, I was responsible to ensure the safety of the Young Master Lie. I was just transferred to serve the Princess Consort."

  "I see." It turns out that she's working for my Third Brother. Little Tiger Head then placed the stone back to its original position without thinking.

  Helian Wei Wei looked around. She could not find a suitable place to dine. Thus, she brought Little Tiger Head to the gazebo at the Superior Compound.

  Little Tiger Head loved to eat meat. He bit the bones with his row of small teeth. Qing Zhan felt unbelievable as he was extremely obedient when he was eating.

  Otherwise, the Retired Emperor would not have to force the Little Seventh Prince to the mountain for self-cultivation.

  This was out of her expectation...

  Qing Zhan placed her gaze on Helian Wei Wei who was wiping Little Seventh Prince's mouth with a napkin. Finally, she understood. She realized that the Princess Consort was the only person who got close to the Little Seventh Prince simply because she liked him.

  The others approached him in order to gain fame or wealth.

  As for the officers' daughters, they approached the Seventh Prince in order to attract the attention of His Highness.

  However, they forgot that the Seventh Prince was born in the royal family. He might be young, but the way he acted was more ruthless than His Highness. He surely had seen through the little tricks that they were trying to pull off.

  Probably because he had seen through it utterly, that was the reason why they reacted as if they had seen a tiger that would bite them when they heard of the Little Seventh Prince's name in the palace.

  Helian Wei Wei thought that the Little Tiger Head was kind of interesting. He was actually easy to deal with even though he might not look so. He would also show his soft, white and tender belly when he was full.

  Helian Wei Wei heard laughter while she was enjoying herself. "We do have a fate."

  Chapter 294 - Just Using You

  Qing Zhan also looked slowly toward the direction of the source of the sound.

  Yet in the next moment, her gaze was as if she was absent-minded.

  Why did she feel that this person was giving her a nostalgic feeling?

  Yun Biluo took a step forward, and the dangling ornament on her head swayed as well, following her steps. She looked at the little man sitting next to Helian Wei Wei, and smirked, "So this is the Seventh Prince?"

  Little Tiger Head pulled out from the world of ribs and coldly replied her, "Go away!"

  Yun Biluo had a moment of shock on her face. However, she was not angered, instead the smirk on her face became deeper than it was just now.

  Helian Wei Wei looked at her with a lazy expression and placed a han
d behind her back. She gave off the aura of a sluggish ruffian. She did not know who else in the War Dragon Empire could make Helian Jiao Er willing to walk behind someone's back.

  If it is really like what Yuan Xiaoming said, this Yun Biluo person is indeed interesting.

  Moreover, the pride in Helian Jiao Er's silence made Helian Wei Wei playfully raise her eyebrows for a brief moment.

  Yun Biluo smiled faintly, looked at the people around her and said, "Since the Seventh Prince doesn't welcome us, let us go to another location for a walk."

  As she spoke, she walked toward the pavilion and lowered her body. Using such a soft voice that only Helian Wei Wei and the Little Seventh Prince could hear, she said, "The both of you are indeed brothers, you and His Highness are like a copy of each other."

  Little Tiger Head did not expect her to make such a comment, his teeth that was biting the rib stopped. Then, he lifted his eyes and laid his gaze upon Yun Biluo.

  Yun Biluo did not say anything more, she just smiled and nodded to Helian Wei Wei.

  The playfulness in Helian Wei Wei's eyes were now deeper. The comment she made probably wasn't for Little Seven, but for her.

  Turns out, she was an old acquaintance of the Third Prince.

  Helian Wei Wei lifted her fingers to her chin, slowly grazing it before returning a questionable smile to Yun Biluo.

  Yun Biluo's eyes narrowed, she can be this calm? Huh, then I really underestimated this Helian Wei Wei.

  "Let us go." Yun Biluo smiled as she finished the sentence. When she turned her head, her eyes were radiating a cold gaze.

  Helian Wei Wei continued to eat her own food as usual. Once her stomach hurt, she began to get even more lazy. After separating from Little Tiger Head, she planned to go attend to her own business.

  Anyway, the Third Prince did not need her assistance to fend off the Retired Emperor for now, so when the night comes, there ought to be no need for her to go to Baili Jia Jue's place.

  Helian Wei Wei yawned and was prepared to go back to her residence. But right at this moment, a long robe flashed before her eyes. Murong Changfeng, whom she had not seen for a long time, had actually blocked her path.
