  Chapter 1019 - Wei Wei’s Wish

  The demonization was completed.

  With the dark mist exuding from his body, Baili Jia Jue was strikingly handsome, just like the equinox flowers blooming in the magical realm.

  He slightly raised his head while s.u.c.k.i.n.g the blood. His jawline was like a quiet water bay and huge wings abruptly spread out behind him.

  Those black feathers that symbolized sin, darkness and greed fell one after another.

  The devil's song was played with its melody drifting in the air along with his wings, as if it could embrace the boundless horizon of stars.

  Knowing that she could not stop him anymore, Helian Wei Wei endured the pain and stretched out her arms to wrap around his waist. She tried to give him warmth, as usual, but her breath was turning weak.

  At that moment, her lips were pale and only the tears in her eyes were gentle. "I want you to be blessed, happy, and no longer be alone. This is what I wished for."

  Shock jolted through Baili Jia Jue upon hearing what she said!

  No one had ever made such a wish for him.

  He remembered the agony that he suffered when he was thrown into the Flame of Hell on the day he fell from heaven.

  The real fall started at the Third Level of Hell, where the soul would be completely crushed and almost every single bone was aching.

  No one had ever been considerate to him.

  Revenge?

  Baili Jia Jue held Helian Wei Wei tight in his arms with his stiff fingers and the sparkles in his eyes started to converge gradually, forming a bloody mark.

  The soft and gentle creature in his arms made him stop.

  It seemed like something important was disappearing as blood gushing out from her c.h.e.s.t.

  He had never felt like this for a long time.

  Lying in his arms, her once vibrant face was now deadly pale, like an obedient wooden puppet.

  He used to think of destroying her countless times.

  Nonetheless, he started to feel an unprecedented emptiness at the moment she lost her body temperature.

  Is this feeling good or bad?

  He desperately wanted to get rid of this feeling in the past and finally he did it.

  She would no longer appear in front of him.

  Somehow, he felt drained.

  Something started to rise gradually as her blood slowly seeped through.

  There was such a person who would never leave him in peace.

  She was shrewd ever since she was young, wearing a kasaya that did not fit her at all and she could never get those sleeves right. Nevertheless, she loved to run around the Mountain Tenya as she carried the water. She looked nothing like a little shami.

  Resembling a cat, she would throw you a bun when she first met you and observed you for a while. Once you started to treat her nicely, only then would she approach you.

  Thereafter, you would realize that she was not a cat, but a canine.

  She tended to give without asking for return. Those eyes were always full of trust coupled with a desperate tenderness.

  She was very smart, but still she would clumsily lean on the table and carefully jot down the memories they had made together.

  It was then Baili Jia Jue began to remember.

  He never thought of taking revenge when he became a devil upon his fall.

  Instead, he was thinking whether his Little Phoenix would be bullied in Buddhism without him.

  Amid the languid dusk, what he thought of the most was how she used to push him down and slowly lean into his arms before hugging him domineeringly.

  How could he forget such an important bit of his memories!

  Baili Jia Jue's fingers that were in black gloves, pressed hard into his palm. Hurriedly, he wiped off the blood of the person in his arms, and no one could see his expression clearly.

  There he was, kneeling down with one arm holding Helian Wei Wei while the other one was hanging down. At the same time his head was drooping listlessly.

  This man who had never pleaded with anyone and had no fear for anything, collapsed at this moment.

  Countless cannibalistic black crows rose instantly into the air along with the big birds flying across as they swayed through the snow mountain and wailed.

  Suddenly, a hoarse sound resonated between heaven and earth, whistled and spread to every corner of the world. In this world where the demons started to run rampant, all the terror-stricken ghosts and monsters had uncontrollably turned into their original forms.

  That was the roar of their king, the King of all demons.

  That was the sorrow that struck deep into the human heart!

  That was the resentment that could penetrate through the eighteen layers of hell!

  The growl shook the Gates of Hell, causing the reapers to jerk involuntarily. Puzzled, they looked at each other as the iron chains that they used to lock the souls were shattered into pieces by the invisible demonic aura.

  Meanwhile, in the garage, Helian Qingchen who was washing his hair, immediately sat upright. He then sprang out without bothering Baili Shangxie who was still helping him to rinse his hair.

  Baili Shangxie quickly pulled him over and patted his back with his little fingernails, which had now turned black. He kept himself quiet and aloof.

  Helian Qingchen suddenly realized that his brother was the one who suffered the most at the moment. He turned around to hug Baili Shangxie and his voice was dull, "It will be alright. Believe in pretty Wei Wei, okay?"

  "Okay." Bali Shangxie did not tell Helian Qingchen that his changes were actually the sign of their Imperial Father losing his humanity. Even if anything went wrong, he had to stay calm and take care of his younger brother…

  Helian Qingchen did not trouble Baili Shangxie and he even knew that he had to help his elder brother to hide his identity in this critical period. He covered Baili Shangxie's ears with his little hands and took a huge coat to cover up Baili Shangxie after entering the garage.

  The two little ones leaned against each other as they sat in the corner. This was the first time where they behaved in such an obedient manner.

  The sun gradually set with colorful hues spreading across the sky. The dusk had come.

  Baili Jia Jue walked toward Zha Xi with Helian Wei Wei in his arms. His long hair fluttered in the dark and his footsteps were crunching. That was the sound of the ground being trampled.

  The man could no longer feel anything, be it arrogance, elegance, contempt, mockery, fragility or cruelty.

  He just walked along as the white snow fell on his long and thick eyelashes.

  On the other hand, Zha Xi was too stunned to react. He could not believe that all the glaciers had collapsed, but only those around him were still intact.

  Zha Shi would never know that it was Helian Wei Wei's last glance that saved his life…

  No one could have predicted things to turn out like this.

  Those hikers who were eventually buried in the massive avalanche would never expect to lose their lives here just because they did not listen to others' advice.

  If it were not for the female hiker's approach and her dirty thoughts, perhaps Baili Jia Jue would not demonize in advance.

  Nonetheless, everyone was clear that things would come to this stage sooner or later.

  In the dark night, those red spider lilies were daunting and vigorous, just like a raging fire as they drifted along the dark river that stretched up to 81 miles long. It was a rather ineffable magnificent view.

  Chapter 1020 - Being Spoiled By His Highness

  Out of nowhere, a tiny boat appeared on the river.

  The river was named the Styx River, it was the river of life in the Underworld. Souls that could not reincarnate drifted like clouds on its surface.

  Baili Jia Jue wore a black cloak and stood at the helm of the boat.

  He held a bamboo pole silently and looked at Helian Wei Wei who was on the boat. Although her eyes were shut, he could hear her voice.


  "What is this place?" she asked.

  Baili Jia Jue reached out and smoothed her long hair that had been ruffled by the wind, he then answered with an unprecedented soft tone, "Styx River."

  Then, he gently placed a kiss on her forehead.

  Her small face still did not show any sign of consciousness or grief. Her visage was calm and peaceful, the trace of a smile played on her lips.

  "It is the place where demons devour souls." Helian Wei Wei was shrouded in a dark mist and could not see anything. All she could feel was his chilly lips along with his signature coldness as he tried to comfort her.

  Helian Wei Wei asked again, "Are you going to eat my soul? I think I can feel them leaving my mortal shell."

  "Shh." He pressed a finger to her pale lips to keep her silent. "Don't talk, sleep a little longer. You need to rest."

  Before her deep slumber, Helian Wei Wei heaved a great sigh, "Ok."

  "Good." He had always spoiled her rotten, and it was no different now even as he was about to devour her.

  However, Helian Wei Wei did not want to sleep, she still wanted to talk to him.

  However, as mentioned by Baili Jia Jue, she did not have the energy to do so.

  If it was not for the frigid temperature in Hoh Xil, she would probably have met her death in the snowy glaciers and not survive to this moment.

  Helian Wei Wei realized her light of Buddha was weakening. Soon, she would sink into the depths of Styx River, just like the other creatures.

  The difference was that the other souls could be reincarnated, but she would disappear forever…

  No one knew what Baili Jia Jue wanted to do. The reapers, whose duties were to escort the souls of the deceased, were helpless. They did not know why His Highness suddenly came to the intersection of the Underworld and the Magical Realm. In the past, Baili Jia Jue had always been disdainful of the Underworld. A person like him who suffered from mysophobia would never come to the Underworld which was full of souls of the deceased.

  What had happened?

  If he was here, those souls of the deceased would not dare to approach, not to mention be able to be reincarnated.

  Even the evil spirits which hid under the eighteen layers of hell began to tremble and tried to escape this place.

  "What is he doing here? To pick a fight?" The King of Hell was tall and strong, so he easily lifted the judge with a single hand. His face was scrunched up with disp.l.e.a.s.u.r.e.

  The judge stammered out, "I-It d-doesn't l-look like it. B-But if someone…approaches him, I guess he w-would explode."

  "Am I supposed to be scared of that? I have found this kept man unbearable for a long time. I will deal with him today!" The King of Hell flung his subordinate away and went out with a malicious grin on his face.

  The woman who sat behind him interrupted, "You asked me to come here, just to let me watch you fight with the Emperor?"

  "Of course not!" The King of Hell swiftly changed his direction and sat back down in his original spot. "I asked you here because Little Seventh misses you so much, he really wants to meet you."

  The judge was speechless.

  Why did the bosses of the Magical Realm and the Underworld like to use their son as an excuse to lie to their wife?

  Furthermore, Master! Don't laugh when you say that, you're showing your hand. Oh my, it's too much for my eyes!

  "But something must have happened for the Emperor to come here." The woman was lost in her thoughts. "Go and help him."

  "Absolutely not!" he replied succinctly in two words.

  The woman gave him a long stare and after a moment she said, "Alright, then there is nothing to talk about between us."

  "Y-you…" The King of Hell gave his fangs a bite. "Fine! I'll go now!"

  The judge witnessed this whole scene and mused internally. Master, can you have some self-control? You aren't always like this. Are you sure you can resist initiating a fight with His Highness? He is your rival for thousands of years after all!

  Of course, the King of Hell could not pass up this chance, thus he sent a reaper to spy on the Emperor.

  When the reaper told the King of Hell that Baili Jia Jue was on a boat that carried the Great Lord Phoenix's corpse inside it, he finally deduced what had happened.

  The King of Hell had hoped with all his heart that Baili Jia Jue could live a long peaceful life with Helian Wei Wei forever. This would ensure no one else was endangered!

  Hence, the King of Hell had generously let the reapers guide the souls of the deceased to the other place first and prevented them from jumping into the Styx River.

  There were equinox flowers all over the banks of the Styx River.

  Even so, there were still many people who longed for it.

  Rumor had it that it grew in spots that were fully occupied with souls, and a faint song could be heard when the breeze blew.

  This was the voice of the mermaids.

  One should never think of the mermaids as beautiful creatures.

  It was true that they were very attractive. They possessed the most ethereal voices and had the most enchanting faces in the world.

  When they looked into your eyes, you could not help but promise them the world.

  However, after they bewitched you into an agreement, they would b.a.r.e their rows of razor-sharp teeth and immediately drag you into the murky depths where they would feast on your flesh with only bones remaining.

  Baili Jia Jue walked toward the mermaids, they obediently parted to make way for him.

  He placed Helian Wei Wei in the sea of flowers and fixed the mermaids he had summoned with a leveled stare. He barked out a simple order, "Sing until she wakes up."

  Rumor had it that a mermaid's song could summon souls.

  However, the truth was, the probability of this happening was very low.

  Baili Jia Jue lowered his head and bit his wrist. He placed it on Helian Wei Wei's lips and waited for the blood to drip over and stain her pale lips.

  After this, without any notice, he swiftly jumped into the Styx River.

  The mermaids were flabbergasted, some of them even forgot to continue their singing.

  After all, a neat freak like their king had never approached the Styx River, let alone touch the water.

  However, now, he waded around in the Styx River, surrounded by dirty and unbearable cold water. He looked like he was fervently trying to catch something …

  Chapter 1021 - Soul

  Baili Jia Jue turned his face and glanced through their faces, his eyes gleaming with extremely deep and cold light.

  Just then, the mermaids withdrew their gazes and began to concentrate.

  Pure and ethereal voices could be heard from the surface of the river, creating layers of thin fog.

  This was the only moment in which the human eyes could catch the sight of the sinking souls at the bottom of the river.

  Baili Jia Jue must hide his magic if he wished to find them.

  The temperature of the Styx River was extremely low and it was completely impossible for common people to endure the bone-piercing cold with mortal flesh and body.

  As such, a thought began to form in the minds of those evil spirits who had a rebellious heart.

  "Eat him, eat him!"

  "He won't have any magic for a short while after entering the Styx River!"

  They wanted to grab this opportunity to finish up Baili Jia Jue as his blood was literally an absolute tonic for them.

  There's absolutely no way such a situation could happen again!

  It was true.

  Helian Wei Wei would never know.

  The arrogant and cold man had revealed his weakness for the very first time for her sake.

  Supposedly, he could have dodged the attack easily with his ability, albeit not having any magic. However, he simply leaned slightly to one side to protect the First Soul that he just scooped up, letting the sharp claws penetrate his left shoulder and stab right into his sphenoid.

  The evil spir
its laughed as if they had succeeded.

  However, before they could have enough taste of the wonderful blood…

  They turned into fireworks in the air while howling, as though they were burnt by the raging fire.

  It turned out that Baili Jia Jue's blood was filled with magic that none of the spirits would find bearable.

  The power was so strong and perverse to a certain extent, it was totally beyond their limits of endurance.

  The lips of all the other evil spirits who originally wanted to join the action turned pale as they witnessed the scene. They dared not take a step forward, and all they could do was begging Baili Jia Jue for his mercy.

  However, this time, Baili Jia Jue did not punish them, nor did he ask them to leave. Instead, he appeared as though he was unaware of their existence. He kept on bending his body and concentrating on scooping something.

  Apparently, he did not feel any pain, even though the blood was dripping down, drop by drop, from his shoulder. He carried the Second Soul nicely and carefully in his hand, without letting his blood stain any part of the soul.

  His fingers which used to be elegant were frostbitten to red and there was a lot of black silt on it.

  Nonetheless, he did not care about it at all.

  He looked so serious and persistent as if he was afraid that he might have missed out on something once he lost focus. He had been standing in the Styx River for a total of four hours.

  He only went ashore when the water of the Styx River wetted his hair as well as his body. Coldness transmitted all over his body as he stared without blinking at Helian Wei Wei who was lying in the sea of flowers. In his heart, there was something cooling down bit by bit.

  The mermaids continued singing and pouring out the melody.

  However, there was an unknown flame burning in his c.h.e.s.t, dashing madly around his body as it could not find a way out.
