Chapter 204: Stay By This Highness’ Side
Translator: Misty Cloud Editor: Misty Cloud
“Hold on, what’s going on here?” Yuan Ming, who originally was staying within the Celestial Boundary Space properly, only felt that his blood vessels seemed to have received a summon, his primordial spirit almost rushed forth and he had to exert force before he could suppress the demonic nature, and continuously coughed. “Girl, lean against the statue of Buddha over there.”
Helian Wei Wei knitted her brows. “What’s up with you?” She’d known Yuan Ming for such a long time, yet she’d never seen this appearance.
“I keep feeling something’s not right.” Yuan Ming narrowed his eyes until after Wei Wei shifted her position when that crazy agitation suddenly disappeared, he was filled with suspicions as his expression deepened and turned uncommunicative in a way that he’d never been before.
Following this, Wei Wei also didn’t have an opportunity to ask Yuan Ming again, because when she moved, she just happened to move behind a certain Highness, her head was also down as she bumped into that slightly cold, tall and straight back which was as hard as stone.
She originally was going to say ‘sorry’, but it was evident that people all around didn’t think that this was an accident, as their starry-eyed gazes already started to disdain her.
Wei Wei simply didn’t care to say ‘sorry’ anymore. She returned the man’s apathetic gaze, smiled, and was going to step back.
Unexpectedly, the other person opened his mouth, the tone of his voice was devoid of any undulation, timbre cold and reedy. “Don’t move back and forth.”
Having heard what was said, the other young ladies glanced knowingly and more or less understood tacitly.
This Highness was fed up with her, if not, based on His Highness’ personality, why would he speak at this time, he clearly saw through those senseless tricks of hers and was warning her.
Wei Wei replied ‘en’, it made no difference where she stood, as long as Yuan little Ming, that guy, didn’t complain again. What the hell’s going on here?
Baili Jia Jue looked at the person standing behind him, didn’t know what the cute little face’s thinking, but he suddenly kind of wanted to extend his hand and pinch her, maybe it’s to see how thick the skin on her face was.
However, this person was still most pleasing to the eye when she stood behind him.
Baili Jia Jue’s lips hooked up as a trace of a smiling expression streaked rapidly in his eyes, too quick for anyone to catch a glimpse of it.
Helian Wei Wei was still shaking Yuan little Ming within the Celestial Boundary Space in her consciousness so she didn’t notice Third Prince’s attitude even more.
The two of them were clearly standing one in front, the other behind, yet gave people the feeling that there’s no estrangement at all.
It probably was because Baili Jia Jue slightly tilted his face to one side, when the sunshine hit him, it seemed to soften the contours of his jawline, even illuminating his lips.
Eunuch Sun watched from Baili Jia Jue’s side as he more or less made calculations. His body turned to the left and stopped their, giving the two of them space to move, and deliberately separated Helian Jiao Er to one side.
Helian Jiao Er now hated Wei Wei so much, her teeth itched, yet she couldn’t say anything to Eunuch Sun. She could only awkwardly stand there, seemingly close, when in fact, she was separated by a person. This caused her plan of using this opportunity to approach Baili Jia Jue come to naught.
Wei Wei saw that Yuan little Ming wouldn’t wake no matter how she called him, so she didn’t continue. It’s just that what he said before he fell into a deep sleep was strange. When she came around again, she saw Baili Jia Jue looking at her.
Wei Wei didn’t understand what Baili Jia Jue wanted and raised her eyebrows.
“You suddenly bumped against me, tell me, should this Highness understand that you’re throwing yourself into my arms?” His voice was very low.
Wei Wei was going to say that all of this was an accident, yet she also had no way of explaining why she took these two steps, and why she bumped against him. She felt that her lifetime’s worth of illustrious reputation was going to the destroyed by Yuan Ming, that child from her previous marriage (figurative).
“Your Highness, you’re overthinking it.” Wei Wei smiled, bright eyes and white teeth with a hint of sunshine.
Baili Jia Jue’s appearance chilled. “Really?”
“Mmhm.” Because she’s afraid he’d misunderstand her, Wei Wei thought about it, and even added. “I truly don’t want to be secretly in love with you.”
After Baili Jia Jue heard these words, Baili Jia Jue suddenly curved his lips. That kind of smile was too demonic. So bright yet only Wei Wei could see that within his eyes, there were even ice chips, crystal bright like precious gems. Indescribably, Wei Wei felt that maybe she said something wrong.
Just when she was puzzled, Head Abbot Fang Zhang finally brought the two fortune sticks. All of them already saw the first stick: “…sweep away the haze, push aside heaven’s fog, sunny everyday.”
The meaning was very simple, this meant that the clouds and mist scattered completely, hard times are over, the good times are just beginning, so much so that one’s ability will consequently be displayed, very much in keeping with Wei Wei’s situation.
The second fortune stick, however, made Head Abbot Fang Zhang also stare blankly as he dwelled on it, because what’s written on there wasn’t anything other than those words he’d just spoken. “Golden carp encountering adversity becoming a dragon!”
Even though, in the beginning, he indeed gave Wei Wei this evaluation.
However, generally speaking, when a woman seek to know their fortunes, very few would find this answer, this was simply the best of the best fortune!
Head Abbot Fang Zhang couldn’t help but begin his appraisal of Wei Wei anew. He had some doubts. Logically speaking, based on the rumors, the woman with the phoenix constitution was here. Wei Wei shouldn’t have been able to receive a fortune that was even better than the reincarnation of a phoenix…when all was said and done, where’s the mistake in all of this?
“Look at Abbot Fang Zhang, what’s wrong with him?”
Someone with discerning eyes noticed Head Abbot Fang Zhang’s hesitation.
The young master fanning himself guessed. “Could it be that the second stick divined an unfortunate future?”
Sometimes, even if it’s the highest high fortune, the detailed explanation needed to be considered. It’s not as if this kind of situation hadn’t occured before when it came to divining one’s fortunes. For example, the language on the first fortune stick was very good, but the second fortune stick just happened to say something that clashed with the first, then the outcome still wasn’t ideal even though both fortune sticks were considered to the best of the best. This is part of the mysteriousness of the fortune telling process.
That’s why, the second stick’s wording was very important in determining the result of the divination.
People observed Head Abbot Fang Zhang’s expression and smiled faintly. “It seems that someone has been rejoicing about nothing.”
“Just wait until the fortune telling has finished before speaking.” When Helian Jiao Er heard that there could be some changes in fortunes, a smile resurfaced on her face, didn’t she already say, an ugly girl who even brought bad luck to her family, how could her fate be even more fortunate than her.
However, when Abbot Fang Zhang read the words on that stick clearly and slowly, her complexion immediately darkened..
Those words basically didn’t need to be interpreted by Head Abbot Fang Zhang. Everybody could understand them, and it’s because they understood them too clearly, that looked towards Wei Wei in disbelief.
Previously, when Head Abbot Fang Zhang said this, they actually didn’t believe it at all.
After all, a girl who’d been driven out from her clan, how could she overturn the heavens?
Now that they’re looking at this fortune stick, they started to face Wei Wei squarely for the first time.
But they didn’t know that it’s already too late to face her squarely.
Because they didn’t realize that the trash who they thought had just climbed out of her quagmire had already become the boss of Tiny Pond Under Heaven, furthermore, her martial qi had already reached the eighth level, much stronger than Helian Jiao Er by several levels, the mysterious beggar expert who was constantly on the four great clans’ minds, whether to catch or to rope in, was her!
