What do you mean by "You humans seem to love eating"? I'm not not a pig! Helian Weiwei complained in her heart.
Somehow, the attitude of this man was very indifferent. She felt that if she said one more word, he would kick her out of the Pandemonium.
This was different from the man in the past who would tolerate her in everything…
At the thought of this, Helian Wei Wei sneered.
Don't be silly.
Rather than always thinking about the past, why not think of a way to take down this cruel and cold Baili Jia Jue.
Fortunately, Helian Wei Wei's cage was placed on the side of of Baili Jia Jue's bed.
According to Baili Jia Jue's point of view, a pet should be placed at a visible place, so that he could play with it anytime.
"Lift your claws." Baili Jia Jue walked over with his hair still damp. He lowered his body and reached out to Helian Wei Wei in the cage.
Helian Wei Wei slept comfortably. The blanket in the cage was warm and thick. Dazzled, she looked up, "What for?"
"Isn't a pet supposed to say goodnight to its master?" Baili Jia Jue's lips were curved, but it did not feel like he was smiling at all.
Helian Wei Wei looked at him twice, then lifted her hand.
Baili Jia Jue was finally satisfied. He brought her claws closer and squeezed it. "Very good. Please do not snore when you sleep, I hate to have noises around me."
"Yes, sir." Seeing at how he ordered her, Helian Wei Wei felt helpless as she was reminded of how she used to order her Tibetan Mastiff in the past.
Baili Jia Jue touched her head, and surprisingly the touch felt good. He then narrowed his eyes, "And, you can also try to run away. But I might kill you directly if I'm in a bad mood."
Who would dare to escape if you say so!
"Okay, come here. Let me take off your clothes and let's sleep." Baili Jia Jue's tone was light and enough to make people feel as if he was just trying to say something insignificant like we're having youtiao for breakfast tomorrow.
Helian Wei Wei raised her eyes and looked at him, "I'm a woman, it's improper for a man to touch a woman."
Baili Jia Jue lowered his tone, "I'll say it one more time, come here."
"No, I can do this myself," Helian Wei Wei insisted.
Baili Jia Jue sneered, "Your ridiculous human dignity is causing trouble again."
Can you stop being so casually racist? Helian Wei Wei thought.
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in you," Baili Jia Jue said while trapping her to the corner of the cage. "But undressing my prey is fun for me."
Helian Wei Wei coughed, "You have so many inhuman interests. How many preys have you actually undressed?"
"Not a single one." Baili Jia Jue lowered his gaze and parted her clothes with his long fingers, "I've only shaved the Sky-swallowing Beast. I think the principle should be the same."
You are the only one who would see undressing others and shaving an animal's fur as the same!
"You seem unhappy." Baili Jia Jue lowered his voice and poked her face with his finger. He then continued lecturing her, "You shouldn't show your emotions to your master."
Helian Wei Wei did not have anything more to say. She could almost see her future as a prey.
The man's familiar sandalwood fragrance drifted to her, and only then did Helian Wei Wei realized that he had already started undressing her.
He was really just undressing her, without showing any emotions on his face. Even his thick eyelashes did not blink a single time, but his technique was a little rusty.
His Highness was undressing her like it was a task!
It was not like they had never made love before, but as her clothes were slowing taken off by him, Helian Wei Wei felt something indescribable. Her heart started to pound quickly.
She could feel the coldness of his fingertips on her skin, making her shiver.
When she was finally fully undressed, Helian Wei Wei took a deep breath and was about to get up.
Suddenly, she felt a movement right beside her. Baili Jia Jue has already pressed her to the ground, rubbing her fair skin slowly with his fingers, while his other hand was holding the side of her head. His eyes were locked onto her.
This sudden action caused Helian Wei Wei's heart to skip a beat.
He was right above her with his upper body tilted. The soft light around shone into his eyes. The lighting made his eyebrows and eyes even more noble. Beneath his long nose, his pale thin lips slightly opened, and he spoke with his low, magnetic voice, "Sleep with me tonight."
Upon listening to this sentence, every inch of her skin trembled a little due to his scent.
If he was really interested in her, it should be easier for her to bring him back.
However, Baili Jia Jue continued, "I hate cold things. You're warm. It would be nice to sleep while hugging you."
Is she being treated as a pillow?
Did her heart just pounded quickly just now for nothing!?
In the eyes of His Highness, she was the same as a cat or a dog.
Even their species were different, what more their interests?
Helian Wei Wei took a long sigh, she had indeed thought too far.
Baili Jia Jue lifted her up without another word with his fingers on her smooth back. He held her as if he was only holding a blanket in his arms. Then, he slowly closed his eyes.
However, Helian Wei Wei could not fall asleep.
The rubbing she was feeling on her back was too obvious. Her face was so close to his c.h.e.s.t that she could even smell his cool scent.
Helian Wei Wei had no choice but to resort to counting sheep.
One Baili Jia Jue, two Baili Jia Jue, three Baili Jia Jue, four…
Unexpectedly, the man suddenly opened his eyes and said with a calm and arrogant tone, "Shouldn't you give your master a goodnight kiss?"
Chapter 582 - Only For Married Couples
"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.
She would appear gorgeous to other
s 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 l.a.p. 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 t.h.i.g.hs, 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 shimmering with moisture and for unknown reasons, even the corners of her eyes were flushed red.
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 attitude 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?
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.
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…
Chapter 583 - Not On Familiar Terms
"Master, I heard that you slept with the human in your arms for the whole night?"
After the sunset, in the hall, Fire Qilin asked with a tone of great astonishment.
Baili Jia Jue threw an indifferent glimpse at it with no intention to answer the question.
Fire Qilin quivered in fear. It coughed and said, "Master, I have no intention to tattle about you. I always think that your body temperature is relatively lower. I feel cold even when I stand beside you. I'm only worried about the human who slept in your arms overnight and I'm glad that she did not fall sick."
"That's why I let her stay," Baili Jia Jue said half-heartedly as he placed the skull down. "Go and investigate her background. Find out if she has any kin in the human world who makes her desperately want to bring me out of the magical realm."
Upon listening to Baili Jia Jue's words, Fire Qilin furrowed its brows and asked, "Master, your soul strength has been somewhat unstable lately. You'll be exposed once you leave the magical realm. Can this possibly be the Exorcising Tribe's stratagem?"
"I can't tell for sure if she is from the Exorcising Tribe," Baili Jia Jue said as he stood up, "But the people of the Exorcising Tribe certainly have the intention to hunt me down and kill me…"
The sky gradually turned darker.
An unidentified man moved across the room and passed some refreshments to a lady who was clad in pink. He then spoke in a muffled voice, "He has noticed the Exorcising Tribe's agenda and ordered for an internal investigation. You have to act fast. The identity of the lady who arrived alongside you still remains a mystery. I reckon that he is the wariest around her. Work out a way to extract yourself from the place. We'll try our best to aid you."
The lady in pink gently bit her lip as she studied her surroundings. "He is always a very vigilant man. We have to apply an exceptional trick to deceive him. Send two death knights to put on an act, impersonating as two assassins who want to ambush him. Then, I will try to block the sword for him."
"You want them to ambush him?" The man was fl.u.s.tered. "I'm afraid that he will kill them before they even have the chance to show their swords."
The lady in pink continued with a softer voice, "I'll meet up with the woman later. I reckon that he will arrive almost at the same time. You only have to act in front of the woman. There's no need to get close to him. He'll fall for it as long as you pretend to hurt me."
"Are you sure that it will work?" the man asked.
"Hmm." The lady in pink replied, "I saved him once when we were in the human world. That was why he chose me as an offering for the Exor
cising Tribe, proving that I'm somewhat special to him."
"If you're so confident, we'll execute your plan," the man said as he stared at her. "Ni Feng, you must not be compassionate. The demons are wandering in the human world. If we don't lure him to the human world during his weakest time, the Divine Exorcism Seal will not be useful against him. When that happens, even if all the demons are locked in hell, the right path of our human world will never be fixed before he dies."
Ni Feng grasped the white handkerchief in her hand and received the plate. She stared into the distance as she replied, "Yes, I know. Don't worry. Since the day I arrived at the magical realm, I've decided to not be soft-hearted."
Then, Xiao Kui was seen entering the room excitedly. Oblivious to the present servants, she leaned forward and spoke in Ni Feng's ears, "Sister Ni, the woman is dead meat now. She has been insisting on bringing His Highness to the human world regardlessly. I reckon that she has worn out His Highness' patience, causing His Highness to order an investigation directed at her. If he discovers anything, she will definitely be in deep water and will possibly lose her life."
Ni Feng's eyes sparkled as she snickered, "Let's pay her a visit. She has been alone since she was in the magical realm. I bet she yearns to get out of that place."
She did not want anyone to be sacrificed, thinking that it would be a better idea to send the woman off.
At this moment, she had to exploit Helian Wei Wei without distracting Baili Jia Jue unnecessarily.
Xiao Kui sneered, "That sounds like a good plan. We shall show the country bumpkin that she can never emulate us."
This time, Ni Feng remained silent. Together, the two of them headed to the place Helian Wei Wei was locked up at.
His Highness was a rather generous owner to his pets. He even set a time when Helian Wei Wei was allowed to take a stroll outside.
During the scheduled time, the entire cage, with Helian Wei Wei still locked within, would be brought outdoors for a saunter.
However, Helian Wei Wei's movement was restricted as she had to stay within the cage.
