Chapter 593: His Royal Highness’ Jealousy
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
The word ‘escort’ was used too liberally, with two magical beasts guarding the front and back respectively, it was pretty much like being detained and deported.
As she was given such an insolent treatment, Helian Wei Wei clenched her fists, stared back coldly, and told Baili Jia Jue, “If you are doing this because of the tiara, I could’ve fixed it.”
However, Baili Jia Jue ignored her, as if he had already made his decision. His handsome profile exuded piercing-cold vibes, those excellent facial features beautifully deep and sharp as a knife, fully emanating the kind of energy that kept people at arm’s length. He ordered, “Send her away.”
“Yes.” The magical beasts never gave Helian Wei Wei another chance to speak, because it seemed from His Highness’ reaction that he absolutely despised this woman.
Helian Wei Wei always knew he had little patience when it came to something he did not like.
However, Helian Wei Wei never thought that one day she would also be treated the same way…
Her chest seized up in enormous pain, as if it was being rolled all over by pinpricks.
Thousands of lycoris albiflora danced in the gentle breeze, surrounding Helian Wei Wei with a delicate floral scent accompanied by a touch of despair. She would be lying if she said she was not sad.
Be that as it may, sadness never solved any problems.
Helian Wei Wei watched the palace hall that was becoming further with each step she took.
She ultimately decided to retaliate. Squinting her eyes, she aimed at her target and planted a dexterous kick with her extended leg right on the face of the magical beast who was about to escort her out of the city.
Boom!
With such a dramatic movement, it was no surprise that the occurrence had caught the attention of the other magical beast who was leading in front. Just as the magical beast was about to turn around, Helian Wei Wei hit it with a side kick, kicking the beast a few meters away.
Having never seen a female who could put on such an exceptional fight, the two magical beasts gaped in astonishment.
Helian Wei Wei bent over and said nonchalantly, “You two are his people, I don’t want to hurt you, but I definitely can’t go back alone like that, so you guys will have to sleep for a while.”
Immediately after speaking, Helian Wei Wei single handedly fought those magical beasts and knocked them out. She even stripped one of them of its clothes so she could disguise herself as a magical beast and return to the Pandemonium without being noticed.
She did not know why Baili Jia Jue wanted to send her away all of a sudden.
Her gut feeling told her that something else was going on and it was not just because of the tiara.
…
The sound of footsteps lingered around the palace.
“Your Highness, the Queen Selection Ceremony will commence in just a moment. This is the costume that the witches have prepared for you.” Green Dragon walked over with a set of black gown inlaid with gemstones as dark as the ancient black ink.
Those gemstones were the same as what Baili Jia Jue had on the ring on his thumb. In the magical realm, the darker the gemstone, the more mysterious the magical power.
The ring on his thumb had always been kept in a safe place by His Highness, even Green Dragon did not understand why His Highness would think to bring it out all of a sudden.
Baili Jia Jue gazed at the gleaming gemstone on the ring on his thumb, seemingly back to being his usual phlegmatic self. He announced, “Tell them there won’t be any ceremony.”
No one would’ve thought that he was once foolish enough to want to give his precious gemstone to a human being.
He wanted the entire magical realm to know that Helian Wei Wei was more than just a prey.
But in the end…
Baili Jia Jue sneered, the corners of his thin lips curling up slightly, “Qilin, get out of the city and make your way to the Ming River. Send out my order, no one is allowed to leave the magical realm.”
“Yes.” The Fire Qilin responded respectfully, although deep down inside he thought His Highness was going insane. He was the one who wanted to send the mortals back to the human world, but now he had also become the one who wouldn’t allow anyone to leave the Magic Realm. It was obvious that he just didn’t want Miss Wei Wei to leave!
“What about Miss Wei Wei?” Even if Fire Qilin understood what was going on, it still wanted to clarify with His Highness in case it ends up being punished by its Master.
At a leisurely pace, Baili Jia Jue replied, “Letting her go is one thing, whether or not she will make it out there is another.”
Master… do you really want to be this shameless!
“Get going! Are you waiting for me to feed you more carrots?” Baili Jia Jue emotionlessly stared at Fire Qilin, his face reflecting Fire Qilin’s flames, accentuating his perfectly defined facial features that screamed forbidding danger.
Fire Qilin dared not delay another second. It promptly shapeshifted and flew toward the moat, but still saw no sign of Helian Wei Wei after waiting for half an hour. He eventually managed to get a hold of the two magical beasts through conjuration. Judging from the bruises on their faces, Fire Qilin got a general idea of what had happened.
“Where is Miss Wei Wei?” Fire Qilin asked in horror, hoping that it was not what he thought it was. Master would kill it!
Those magical beasts were still confused. They looked left and right before they sluggishly muttered, “That woman beat us up and then she was gone!”
“Boss, do you think she ran away!?” one of the magical beasts asked.
“We weren’t even going to eat her, why would she want to run away?!” the other magical beast replied.
Fire Qilin’s head started to hurt from listening to the conversation between the two magical beasts. It thought, crap, we’re doomed. This time we’re really doomed!
Judging from His Highness’ actions, it was never his intention to let Miss Wei Wei leave. This time Miss Wei Wei was really gone! How was Fire Qilin supposed to tell His Highness about this!
At the Pandemonium, countless demons were still wildly partying in the middle of the dreary night.
Except there was a slender silhouette that was sitting on his haughty throne, swirling the goblet in his hand, his wide eyes conveyed his absent-mindedness.
Fire Qilin summoned up the courage to walk toward Baili Jia Jue, trying to report to its Master about what happened with a more euphemistic explanation, “Master, I did not find Miss Wei Wei.”
“What do you mean by you did not find her?” Baili Jia Jue’s tone sounded calm and normal like how he usually spoke, which gave Fire Qilin the courage to reveal the entirety of what really happened, “Miss Wei Wei was gone after beating up the magical beasts, chances are… chances are that she ran away.”
She ran away?
Right away, it was as if Baili Jia Jue’s had built up an indestructible cold wall around his body in an instant. The corners of his mouth twitched, his handsome face emotionless, except his eyes were ice-cold to the greatest extent. As he set his heavy gaze on Fire Qilin, it felt like its scalp froze up. Fire Qilin lowered its head in terror.
At this moment, Baili Jia Jue recalled what he had heard in the prison.
It was his negligence.
She was chasing after him, expressing her affection toward him for too long. He actually really thought she liked him and wouldn’t be willing to leave. But the real man that she loved, wasn’t him…
Baili Jia Jue’s breath became increasingly heavy at the thought of himself not being the man she loved. He clenched his hands tight on the only thing that he was holding in his hands.
Snap!
A crisp sound accompanied the broken glass.
The goblet snapped into pieces in his hands. His eyes turned deep red and he let out a vicious stare.
Fire Qilin panicked, but it was too terrified to go anywhere near the furious man.
Baili Jia Jue stood up as though nothing had happened, elegantly wiped away the blood stains on his fingers and strode outside right away, his deep eyes filled with apathetic despair.
Helian Wei Wei, do you think you can escape from me?
