  However, the ingredients were available. The radishes and chicken were wrapped nicely and could last through the cold.

  "What else is inside the boxes you brought?" Baili Jia Jue spoke lightly. "Since you planned to stay here for seven days, there should be more than just these pieces of meat."

  Helian Wei Wei laid her eyes on him as he spoke, then she started to go through the boxes. Just then, she finally came to a realization of the reason behind the mess in the tent...

  Although a bloodthirsty glow was still flashing in his eyes, his long and straight silhouette brought comfort to others.

  A demon's tongue seemed to be less s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e to human food, so Baili Jia Jue could not taste the saltiness of the soup. After cooking for a while, he used a spoon to scoop out a little for Helian Wei Wei to taste.

  It appeared as though he was taking it very seriously.

  Helian Wei Wei never doubted that His Highness was a decent man.

  Even if he became a demon and everything that he had done was to devour her well.

  However, watching Baili Jia Jue frowning in the direction of the flame, Helian Wei Wei swiftly fell into her dreamland.

  After so much trouble, when the fire was finally turned off, the person who needed the soup sat there and fell asleep.

  Baili Jia Jue stopped everything, he leaned down to look at Helian Wei Wei. Then, he slowly bent down, carried her and put her in the coffin. After that, he walked out of the tent...

  At this time, a hiking team rested on the glacier leeward. Several hikers sat around the smokeless stove, heating some dehydrated beef to replenish their energy.

  "Everyone, eat up quickly. After this meal, we will head to the east. Then, we can get to see the Tibetan antelopes drinking water." Zha Xi was sitting by the fire. Not many people dared to be a guide in Hoh Xil as it was wild land.

  A mountaineer adjusted his camera without lifting his head as he uttered, "I have checked out the east, and it's nothing special. The scenery is very similar to the way we walked all the way. I want to go to the west, toward the snow mountains. I heard that there is a place where we can see the glacier and Mount Everest. Zha Xi, take us to the west."

  "Yes, Zha Xi, head to the west. We want to get closer and see the snow mountains." The person who mentioned this was a female hiker. She was well dressed, wearing a visor on her head. She took a few breaths. "Rest assured that we are all scientific individuals so we will not do anything that would harm ourselves."

  The commissioner also turned around and chimed in, "If it doesn't work, we can add money. This time we are here to understand Hoh Xil better. If we don't investigate the snow mountain and the glacier, we will have gaps in our data. We are now working on the Tibetan Project. Zha Xi, I hope you can support this work."

  "I'm very sorry, my honorable guests," Zha Xi spoke in Tibetan. He suddenly realized that it was strange, so he switched to Mandarin, "We have our own rules. Allah told us that when walking in Hoh Xil, the strictest taboo is to approach the snow mountain. This is not a money issue. I have brought you all here, and I will take everyone back safely, as I had promised my boss that I won't go near to the west during this period, so I'm really sorry."

  The female hiker wore a telescope around her neck. She lifted it up and laughed. "Zha Xi, everything can be discussed. If you think our price is too low, we can raise it. Stop telling us the story of Allah. If the snow mountain is really dangerous, there won't be a tent. Obviously, someone must be over there."

  "Is there a tent beside a snow mountain?" The commissioner was excited. He raised his telescope and looked in the direction pointed out by the female hiker. "How is that possible? Is there really a tent? Who is living there? Are they local Tibetans? Didn't you say that this is no man's land, without signal and inhabitants?"

  When everyone wanted to take a look, Zha Xi knocked down the telescope in the commissioner's hand.

  "What are you doing!" The commissioner jumped up as if stung by a bee. "Zha Xi, do you know how expensive this thing is!"

  Zha Xi ignored his words and refused their sightseeing. "We can't go to the west of the snow mountain. We will return in the same way now, and we will not go any further."

  The commissioner sneered, "Why should we return in the same way? We insist on going to the snow mountain and seeing it!"

  Chapter 1017 - The Danger

  Zha Xi looked at him and his tone had conveyed his annoyance despite his limited proficiency in Mandarin, "I've said it earlier that everyone must listen to me once we've arrived at Hoh Xil. The original plan is to go east. If you guys do not want to continue on this journey anymore, feel free to turn around and leave. That's it. Going west is never part of the deal, so I won't accept it."

  "You!" The commissioner intended to argue again.

  The female hiker came forward and stood in front of him with the camera still hanging around her neck. "If it is because of your belief, you can just stay. Then, it won't go against the rules."

  "No! To me, this is going against the rules." Zha Xi insisted.

  The female hiker smiled as she shook her head. "That's why people are saying that Tibetans are so stubborn. But we are different, as long as we have enough oxygen supply, nothing can stop us from climbing up the snow mountain peak." As she was talking, she turned her head over. "Everyone get yourself prepared, follow me if you want to reach the top of the mountain. We have the device to navigate between north and south accurately. As for those who are not bold enough, you guys can just follow Zha Xi back. After all, it's understandable if no one is willing to stay and take the risk."

  This hiking team was far too young. Subsequently, they would easily forget to listen to others' opinions when they encountered something they liked.

  At Hoh Xil, a Tibetan was more than enough to beat 10 devices.

  This was nature and only the locals would know where to go and where not to go.

  Right now, Zha Xi had no one on his side and these people no longer listen to him anymore.

  Nevertheless, he could not just leave them behind. The hound behind Zha Xi was running around wildly but it was reluctant to go to the west side of the snow mountain. The signs were so obvious.

  The snowstorm was yet to cease. The higher it was, the colder it got, not to mention the intense altitude sickness.

  A few of the hikers took turns for the oxygen supply as they walked.

  Just like what they had said, they could go anyway easily with the device in hand.

  However, it was more tiring to walk up the slope which was 6000 meters above sea level compared to walking on flatlands. It took them five hours to reach the snow mountain which they thought to be not far away.

  When they reached their destination, the sun was already about to set.

  It was a well-known fact to everyone living in Tibet that no one was supposed to wander around at night and they should go to places with people when it got dark. This was the rule.

  Zha Xi stepped out again, trying to convince them to return to the team.

  "There will be wolves at night and snow slides can happen anytime. These glaciers might melt as well. Do you guys get it?"

  The commissioner held the camera in one hand and his eyes were concentrated on the beautiful scenery in front of him. "What a worldly paradise! How did I not discover such a breathtaking place earlier?"

  Zha Xi clenched his fist. Why won't they listen to me?

  The female hiker was rather polite, but she sounded slightly ingenuine, "Zha Xi, you have the dog by your side and we have torches as well. Plus, I have gone through wilderness survival before. It's just some wolves and they are afraid of fire."

  "That's because you have never seen a pack of wolves before!" Zha Xi blurted in the Tibetan language as his face turned red. "We must go back immediately!"

  The female hiker did not take it seriously though. She held the telescope and took a glimpse through the lenses. "Tent! There's really a tent over there!"

  Her words made Zha Xi p
ause for a moment. As far as he knew, nobody would ever dare to camp in this area, even the locals themselves would never spend their night in such a deserted area. It was too dangerous.

  After all, the wolves at Hoh Xil were fiercer and crueler than these people could imagine.

  For a split second, Zha Xi thought of the master who had dragged a coffin into the darkness.

  Could that be her tent?

  Despite Zha Xi's attempt to stop them, the hiking team was already marching toward it.

  It was then something strange happened. The hound that was following Zha Xi refused to step forward stubbornly as if it had sensed something horrible. It curled into a ball as it shivered.

  "Look! What is that?" The female hiker was panting and her eyes were filled with amazement.

  There were no wolves here so it was not even as dangerous as the tour guide claimed to be.

  Instead, there was a man sitting next to the glacier cliff which was 3000 meters above the snowline. He had an extremely fit body and was wearing a cloak. Like a quiet yet strong snow leopard, the only visible part of him was his deep beautiful eyes. He was remarkably handsome as if he came out from a comic book.

  "Are you local?" The female hiker guessed excitedly as she stepped forward and said in the Tibetan language, "Zha Xi De Le."

  As Baili Jia Jue was listening, he tilted his head and put on a charming smile. He spoke in a seductive tone that every devil was great at, "You smell good."

  Stunned, the female hiker could not help but blush.

  At this moment, she was totally unaware of Baili Jia Jue's underlying meaning of 'smelling good'. She thought that her perfume was working.

  "You can speak Mandarin?" The female hiker smiled again. "That's amazing! Our tour guide was just telling us that this deserted area was very dangerous and tried to stop us from coming here. I don't see any danger here other than a handsome guy."

  With his head lowered down, Baili Jia Jue's blackening nails were subtly hidden under his cloak. The corner of his lips curled into an elegant curve as he licked it. "What a long-lost fragrance! People will easily fall for it."

  The female hiker blushed even more. She noticed him holding a wine glass and asked curiously, "How can wine be this red? Wouldn't it freeze on the mountains?"

  "This is not wine." Baili Jia Jue smiled, "It is blood, very fresh blood."

  His voice was very deep. In fact, it was melodious.

  However, everyone immediately fell silent as his voice echoed over the vast and boundless snow mountain.

  It took the female hiker a while to react with an awkward smile. "Haha, you're so humorous."

  "Humorous?" Baili Jia Jue lifted his head. His silver hair was swaying gently in the dark as he revealed his fangs, making him look somewhat malevolent.

  The female hiker's expression changed drastically. Stiffly, she took a step back and planned to escape!

  Nonetheless, it was too late!

  There was a glint of mockery in Baili Jia Jue's eyes.

  Then, he started to move.

  His action was as fast as lightning.

  Those eyes merely looked murderous and cold.

  The influence of human d.e.s.i.r.es was the most critical step in demonization and Baili Jia Jue finally got this step accomplished in advance today.

  Chapter 1018 - The Devouring and Wishes

  "Help me, Zhang Ming, Li Yan, hurry up and help me!" The female hiker was trembling in fear as she screamed for help.

  However, none of the hikers dared to step forward and help since fear got the better of them. Everyone scrambled to flee, leaving their cameras behind. None had the guts to look back as though there was some unknown monster behind them!

  "That's how an ordinary human should behave, isn't? Fear, betrayal, that's the way it has always been. Aren't you blushing when you see me just now? Now what? I've just started to reveal my true colors and you're already freaking out? Hehehe…" A dark aura surrounded Baili Jia Jue as he smiled wickedly.

  "No, please don't!"

  Meanwhile, in the tent, Helian Wei Wei who was sick suddenly jolted awake. Her entire body tensed up and shot out like an arrow released from a taut bowstring.

  A loud bang resounded!

  Fiery flames sparked off the Phoenix Scythe as it slashed through the air.

  "Jue, stop it." With a swift maneuver, Helian Wei Wei grabbed the female hiker's arm as she prompted in a deep voice.

  "Don't snatch my prey, and don't block my way." As the snow fell, Baili Jia Jue's grip on the woman did not falter and his handsome face betrayed no emotions. "Or else, I'll kill you too."

  Helian Wei Wei did not reply, nor did she back down.

  "Why, I see that you'd like to go against me now. Is that so, my naive master?" The grin on Baili Jia Jue's face deepened.

  Helian Wei Wei knew that once a human appeared at this moment, his magic would be evoked completely.

  It was just that Helian Wei Wei did not expect something like this to happen.

  She tilted her head to look at Zha Xi who was standing aside.

  Zha Xi did not escape, but his face was ghastly pale. He suddenly thought of the black coffin that he saw during that night when he came to pick up Helian Wei Wei.

  She said that he would get to see the man she loved if the opportunity arose.

  He always thought that it was an impossible sight, but now that he saw it, he finally knew that the man in the coffin was a demon instead!

  Zha Xi was at a loss of what to do now as waves of anxiety flooded his heart.

  Helian Wei Wei shifted her gaze back to Baili Jia Jue and looked straight into his eyes. Her tone was plain and her breaths were warm. "I have no intention of becoming your enemy. It's just that I've always disliked you touching other women. Do you think I'm just joking when I say that I like you? Baili Jia Jue, don't you forget that I'm the one who signed the agreement with you. Every part of you is mine!"

  Initially, Baili Jia Jue was thinking of ways to sink his fangs into the female hiker's neck.

  How did a person like this even exist?

  Smart and naive, with words as sharp as a knife. She was such a pure creature that could easily trigger one's urge to possess her.

  That was a raging d.e.s.i.r.e deep in his bones, which was barely containable!

  Green veins were bulging on his handsome and steely face. At the same time, a subtle recklessness was reflected in his eyes.

  The sense of yearning was intense…

  He wanted more...

  Deep down, his cravings were escalating as her irresistible smell was driving him mad. The thirst that ran deep in his veins made him want to pounce on her and swallow her soul…

  His last strand of sanity was the only thing that held him back.

  Nevertheless, there was no way he could retract his sharp fangs.

  Turning his head over, Baili Jia Jue aimed his fangs at the female hiker and bit down hard.

  Helian Wei Wei raised her arm and stretched it out to replace the woman's neck. A searing pain immediately shot through her body.

  The female hiker immediately ran for her life when she saw that she was saved without bothering about what would happen to Helian Wei Wei.

  Once the magic was aroused, the first thing to do was to devour.

  As Helian Wei Wei had said, she did not like to have other people's scent on him, nor did she want to see his hands stained with blood.

  In Helian Wei Wei's heart, this man was always the teenager that she saw on Mountain Tenya back then. Clean and sturdy, this apathetic person was the only one to have no fear of God with such pride.

  It had been a while since Helian Wei Wei went over there for the buns after the teenager left.

  In fact, a person like this was very gentle.

  He never rejected her, and he even brought her to many places later on.

  Long ago, she used to talk to the Bodhi tree with no replies at all.

  She was not good at mingling with others and she gave her
best to whatever she did. Every time she went to his temple, her hands would be drenched in water.

  The other senior monks in Buddhism tended to avoid her, only he would hold her hands and wash them with a frown.

  She was a dull person and barely knew anything. When she was crossing off the things that they had done every day, he would always enjoy seeing her doing so despite being occupied.

  "Move." Baili Jia Jue's tone was cold with Helian Wei Wei's blood still dripping off his fangs, yet his eyes had moved away from her. His gaze zeroed in on the female hiker not far away. The dark clouds started to billow upon his intense murderous aura.

  There was no way Helian Wei Wei would move.

  "My naive master, you should learn from ordinary humans. Observe them and do as they do so that I won't loathe you so much. You're right, if you remain by my side, I will be much happier. You have been tying me down all this while. I will say this one last time! Move! I need to hunt!" The black mist began to rise up behind Baili Jia Jue and his tone was extremely icy.

  Loathe.

  Helian Wei Wei's wary heart tightened when she heard that phrase.

  With her head lifted up, she looked at the man who was about to be fully demonized before stepping forward without hesitation to embrace him. She said hoarsely, "Now I understand what you said last time. I really wish I can lock you away so that nobody will get to see you. Don't eat other women, I'm all yours. I won't resist using my spiritual aura and you can suck me dry. I'm the one that you want the most, isn't it?"

  "Of course." A sinister grin appeared on Baili Jia Jue's lips as he listened to Helian Wei Wei's words. He stretched out to lift Helian Wei Wei's chin as he leaned down to kiss her. "I won't condescend myself to eat those inferior souls if you are willing to give yourself to me." His kisses had no trace of gentleness but only the overpowering force of a demon.

  As he finished, he lowered his head and bit down hard on Helian Wei Wei's neck. His black nails ripped open her clothes and pierced through her skin. Every bite was like a kiss, but the damage was real. "My delicious master, you can now tell me your wish." He licked her blood slowly and allured her in a natural manner.
