  The Emperor had not expected such an outcome but he felt immensely comfortable for unknown reasons. He actually felt satisfied, especially when the black fog fell upon him. It was like his thirst for blood had been quenched.

  "It's the spell of aura of resentment, girl. He still hasn't given up on the idea of getting your mortal shell!" Whitey's voice resonated from the Fantasy Space.

  It seemed like Jing Wushuang knew from the start that these foolish humans would be no match for Helian Wei Wei.

  She was never an ordinary woman.

  The situation would be just as complicated even if she had entered the palace alone.

  However, none of that was an issue for Jing Wushuang. All he ever wanted from the start was for Ni Feng to be reincarnated and awakened!

  Jing Wushuang shut his eyes. Those who bullied Helian Wei Wei in the palace would not end well when Ni Feng awakens.

  He would never stand aside and watch her besieged by others!

  Splatter!

  Helian Wei Wei was trapped amongst the crowd of faces. A thin yet sticky membrane that was not visible to the n.a.k.e.d eye began enveloping her body.

  It started from her ankles, up her legs then to her waist. It had entwined over her c.h.e.s.t…

  Chapter 640 - Summoned, His Highness Is Here!

  As the black fog obstructed all light from reaching Helian Wei Wei's eyes, she felt as if something was gnawing all over her entire body.

  Her body was completely exhausted, even her legs were getting weaker. The pervasive dark faces had permeated the foggy air!

  The little one watched as the people before him were gradually engulfed by the black fog, his wide eyes were completely covered with blood-red veins!

  With both hands clenched, he let out a loud roar as hatred shredded his last bit of rationality!

  Upon hearing the little one's roar, Helian Wei Wei who was overwhelmed with fatigue wiggled her wounded finger by her side. Blood dripped from it and seeped into the ground. "In the name of my life, awaken thy name..."

  "Master! That lady!" The little one with a bottle gourd froze when he noticed that his movements were being restricted. His eyes bulged, "What did she do!"

  Jing Wushuang was silent. However, the night hag who stood next to him quickly responded, "An incantation, she's chanting an incantation!"

  "But she can't use spells anymore once the formation has been created," the little one with the gourd frowned.

  "No, it's not a spell!" The night hag moved as though it was frightened of something...

  Jing Wushuang squeezed his eyes shut and started coughing violently.

  Helian Wei Wei was unaware of any of this, all she could hear was a low snicker in her ears. The snicker sounded enticing, like golden grains of gravel slowly piling out. "You should know that you can never set foot into the gates of Heaven or be reincarnated once you sell your soul."

  A blur of light and shadow wavered before her eyes. At the same time, a faint sweet scent wafted past her nose. Equinox flowers started blooming one after another around her feet, which looked like she was leaving behind a trail of blood.

  Legend has it that red spider lilies only bloom on paths leading to Hell.

  "I wouldn't have summoned you if I cared about reincarnating," Helian Wei Wei was floating mid-air as black mist emitted from her fingertips. It indicated her lifeblood that was sufficient to summon devils since she was born!

  "Hehehe…" The low snicker had an indescribable evil charm which resembled Yuan Ming's. It was close but not quite.

  He seemed like he was merging with someone else to become one.

  Soft and beautiful black feathers were descending from the air. It looked like a scene out of a comic book.

  "I'm asking you one more time, are you willing to sell your soul to me?"

  Helian Wei Wei managed to utter a string of words before she lost consciousness, "Just get to it, trade my soul, for thy spirit, the devil comes to light!"

  She lost consciousness right after she finished chanting the spell.

  The black feathers halted before erecting themselves in the air with a whoosh!

  They then began ascending toward the unconscious girl, creating a scene that was astoundingly beautiful.

  In the midst of the wild flames, the black feathers cl.u.s.tered together before they slowly descended once more. Gently, it placed Helian Wei Wei who was sound asleep onto the ground.

  Devil's Snares that were supposed to only bloom in hell were rapidly blooming along her both sides. The plethora of blooms was incredibly mesmerizing...

  Gradually, a handsome yet powerful figure appeared among the sea of flowers. The figure sauntered over, a soaring Green Dragon and a flaming Qilin was seen following after the figure's fur-cloaked back.

  Everything paled beside the brilliant smile he wore at the corners of his mouth. His cat-like pupils were narrowed slightly, their golden hue emitted an elegant aura.

  His lips were pale with a pearly sheen. Black gloves enveloped his slender fingers, merely exposing an inch of porcelain skin around his wrist, which was enough to make people look twice.

  He walked in elegant strides as his black robe flapped against the wind.

  In the human world, his was known as Baili Jia Jue.

  Although in reality…

  He was a devil who controlled over darkness. Toying with human emotions and breaking human consciousness was his obsession!

  He tilted his face and with one hand, Little Seven was plucked from the formation.

  Instantly, the dark color on the little one's fingers receded.

  It was obvious that Baili Jia Jue had made him unconscious.

  Many young mythical beasts would feed uncontrollably when they go berserk.

  Their appearances would not seem scary, in fact, they might even be smiling innocently as they tear out one's throat in one bite. They would then proceed to suck up the blood greedily.

  They were merely children who were starving. To them, humans were like bottles filled with milk, all for them to drink.

  Their appetites were far greater than that of an a.d.u.l.t mythical beast.

  The main reason being their lack of conscience. Needless to say, they did not possess the capability to suppress their instincts.

  At the moment, Little Seven's limp body was leaning into Baili Jia Jue's arms with a little thumb in his mouth. His small white fangs were protruding yet he looked perfectly handsome. He would gnaw on his own thumb from time to time, looking like he was waiting to be fed.

  Baili Jia Jue furrowed his thick brows. He easily held Little Seven under one arm albeit the lack of gentleness toward the little one.

  He was holding the child in the wrong position.

  The imperial guards were staring at him with timid expressions while they backed away in panic. Their bows and arrows were put away as fear was seeping right out of their bloodstream, "Your, Your Highness..."

  "It seems that I have been away for too long. Have all of you forgotten my methods? How dare you lay your hands on Little Seven?" Baili Jia Jue laughed out. He tugged his black gloves off with his fangs, a light smile played across his thin lips.

  The imperial guards huddled together with unprecedented respect and fear on their faces, "Your Highness, please, please listen to our explanation…"

  "Fine, I'll listen. In hell." As he spoke, he his irises that were covered with black marks constricted!

  The imperial guards who stood in the front felt their hearts twisting together. Starting from their fingertips, red spider lilies bloomed from their bodies which scorched them until crackling noises were heard.

  Baili Jia Jue seemed to dislike disgusting scenes like this, so he waved his sleeve once.

  The imperial guards ruptured into puddles of blood before they could even scream.

  The evil spirits narrowed their eyes fiercely while watching the scene unfold. Even though they were startled by the man who suddenly appeared before them, they did not believe that a human
could harm them. With large gaping mouths, they obstructed the man, "Human, you better step aside. Stop interfering with our business!"

  The smile on Baili Jia Jue's lips remained, a row of sharp white teeth was visible. He stared down at those faces with disdain written all over his divine features. With one hand, he loosened his collar, "Are you threatening me?"

  "You!" The evil spirits had never encountered such a bold human. One of them threw itself toward him with the intention to attack.

  However, it was caught in the man's grasp before its teeth could even reach his face!

  Chapter 641 - I Am The Only One Allowed To Bully Her

  With a spurious smile, Baili Jia Jue exerted force!

  The evil spirit in his hand immediately melted into a pool of dark water!

  The evil spirits stared at the scene with disbelief. Sensing an unprecedented danger, they frantically turned to flee.

  However!

  Baili Jia Jue did not give them the chance to run at all. He strode past those evil spirits and commanded, "Qilin, swallow all of them!"

  That was the moment when the evil spirits finally notice Fire Qilin, the mythical beast hidden behind the man.

  Their visions shook violently as unknown fear gushed out from their hearts. All of them were desperate to hide from the mythical beast.

  However, it was too late.

  Fire Qilin had ingested every last one of them just by opening its mouth and swinging its tail. It paced about on its huge paws while chewing on them. Underestimating this man was the last regret for those evil spirits. They growled one after another as they perished, but nothing could change their fate.

  "Next…" Baili Jia Jue lifted the corners of his mouth when his gaze fell upon the elder who was shaking uncontrollably, "Your turn."

  The elder could no longer hold his appearance due to his fear of Baili Jia Jue, as a result, limbs and claws broke out from the mortal shell. It clawed the ground hysterically in an attempt to flee.

  Tap, tap, tap…

  The man's footsteps sounded behind him, elegant yet bloodthirsty.

  The surrounding necromancers were shocked by the scene as they did not expect that one of the four great elders was actually a demon wearing human skin!

  The demon was kicking its hind claws continuously but fine cracks had already formed on the stone path below its front claws. The fissures were spreading at a steady speed, like a trail of dark blood flowing underneath a thin surface of ice.

  It could feel chills on his back as if it were falling into hell with no way to break free!

  A loud bang sounded!

  The cornered demon eventually exploded into tiny bits of flesh and blood, splattering all over the ground.

  The ministers were dumbfounded at the sight which left them trembling and unable to recompose themselves.

  In the midst of the rising cold wind, there was a sinister air about the spurious smile on Baili Jia Jue's delicate yet frosty features. Under the moonlight, an enchanting l.u.s.ter reflected off his pure black robe. His figure flashed and in the next moment, he had landed on the rooftop of the opposite building.

  The guardians of the Exorcist Tribe were already gone, all that was left was their faint scent and the night hag.

  "They sure flee fast," Baili Jia Jue sneered.

  The night hag was stupefied when it saw Baili Jia Jue's face. Barely able to believe its own eyes, it spoke with a trembling tone, "My King, you...you're still alive?"

  Baili Jia Jue glanced at it with a condescending gaze. He raised a hand effortlessly, which made the night hag spurt out a mouthful of dark blood.

  Even so, the night hag did not dare to resist. He continued with a trembling tone, "My King, I really didn't know. I would never have listened to the Exorcist Tribe if I knew that you were still alive… Ugh!" Before it could finish his sentence, an invisible force clamped down on its throat. It tried feeling around its neck while his eyes bulged to the extent of nearly bursting!

  Baili Jia Jue turned sideways and his cold tone drifted past the night hag's ear, "I don't care about whose command you listened to. What I couldn't tolerate was that you touched my prey. I am the only one allowed to bully her. You? Heh, you have no right!"

  Bang!

  The elder's death was followed by the demise of another demon!

  Baili Jia Jue lowered the little one who was still clipped under his arm. With one move of his slender finger, a delicate silver earring appeared on the little one's ear.

  That was a device used by masters of mythical beasts to restrain them from going berserk.

  Then, he withdrew his hand and made a clear snap with his thumb and ring finger.

  Snap!

  The earring became invisible.

  The little one grunted as the hair on both of his paws disappeared to reveal his smooth skin.

  Green Dragon was astonished, "What, what is he?"

  Fire Qilin stepped forward while touching its own chin with its forepaw, "I'm guessing that he's the Sky-swallowing Beast."

  "This kid? He's the Sky-swallowing Beast?" Green Dragon remained doubtful.

  Fire Qilin shot a glance at him, "Don't you forget that back then, none of us ever saw the human form of the Sky-swallowing Beast. There must be some reason for Master to care so much about him."

  "Are you saying that Master spoils whoever that is the youngest?" Green Dragon never knew that it lost was because of its age!

  The others could not understand what these two ancient mythical beasts were talking about.

  Helian Wei Wei who was in a light sleep heard noises buzzing in her ears, although she could not hear clearly due to her grogginess.

  In the darkness, she tried to communicate with Yuan Ming through her consciousness, but he did not reply.

  Helian Wei Wei was confused. Generally speaking, she had signed an eternal contract with Yuan Ming, where her soul would become one with the demon. He should be showing off to her by now, so why was he not responding at all?

  Helian Wei Wei could not open her eyes so she used her consciousness to call for Yuan Ming again.

  She finally heard a response this time. However, it was a mysterious breathing noise that sounded very cold.

  Could it be that the devil got tired of me after obtaining my soul?

  The more Helian Wei Wei thought about it, the more she wanted to wake up. She was aware of the power that came with the eternal contract. The devil's strength would have a tenfold increase after a soul was sold.

  Yuan Ming mentioned long ago that he had lost a lot of his magical powers. At this rate, he should have regained his magic after the contract.

  Helian Wei Wei used all her might to wake herself, her finger moved once against a soft feather...

  ...

  The series of odd incidents left the Emperor with his eyes narrowed. He stared at Baili Jia Jue as an uncomfortable feeling paced around in his c.h.e.s.t. Is this the Third Prince I know?

  The martial Qi of Baili Jia Jue had far exceeded the Emperor's expectations. He initially planned that he could subdue the Third Prince by using thousands of imperial guards should he show up to save Little Seven.

  Yet now...

  He was unsure whether his imperial guards still had any use.

  Especially when an enormous Green Dragon hovered behind the Third Prince!

  Dragons were a sign of good fortune since ancient times.

  That was why the people always say that an emperor was the son of a true dragon.

  How could the Emperor not feel jealous and furious about this?

  Some of the ministers from the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs already started whispering amongst themselves while looking up at the Green Dragon. All of them were discussing whether Baili Jia Jue was the actual descendant of the dragon.

  Baili Jia Jue did not speak.

  The Emperor could not hold back anymore and started making excuses, "Third Prince, I am sure that you saw the true colors of Little Seven while you were holding it jus
t now. He is a demon! You are protecting a demon! I am willing to overlook your foolishness this once if you hand it over to the imperial guards right now!"

  Chapter 642 - The Awakened Wei Wei And His Highness

  "Demon?" With his head slightly tilted, Baili Jia Jue averted his long and narrow eyes toward the Emperor which quickly reflected a forming embryo. That was a symptom of an evil aura incursion in the human body. He looked at the Emperor with a slight quirk in the corner of his thin lips. Then in a rather casual tone, he spoke, "Who is the real demon, you know it well, don't you? The water current and the inflow of the moat can only be controlled by a handwritten order from the emperor. All those palace maids died in the moat yet you can't wait to put the blame on others. It's obvious that you want to rid yourself of suspicion. But do you really think you can do that?"

  As Baili Jia Jue approached him, the Emperor felt his own breath became heavier. The vision in his left eye turned blurry when his eyeball rolled backwards forcefully. The white of his left eye was exposed but he seemed to know nothing about it.

  On the other hand, Eunuch Gao who stood nearest to the Emperor was frightened out of his wits. He fell backward onto the ground with his finger pointed at the Emperor's left shoulder. Terror was written all over his face as he retreated.

  Only then did the Emperor looked over to his side. A baby's head had suddenly emerged on his shoulder. Its lower body was buried deep into the emperor's back as if it was part of his body. A pair of bloodshot eyes peered from the head in a creepy manner.

  The Emperor froze as chills crept all over him. How could this be? What on earth is that thing buried in his body?

  He knew that whenever he took the elixir pills, he could hear a sigh of satisfaction next to his ears. However, he always thought that the sigh came from himself.

  But now…The terror-stricken Emperor cried out in panic, gone was his image as a ruler. Tears gushed from his eyes as horror washed over him, "Guards! Guards, come here! Take this sh*t away from me!"

  Needless to say, no one dared to approach.

  Even those ministers from the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs were screaming in horror!
