Chapter 133: Two People Getting Along
Translator: Misty Cloud Editor: Misty Cloud
In regards to people who cultivated demonic powers, the first thing the four great clans would do was to exterminate them.
Even the imperial family was completely against demonic cultivation.
Because within War Dragon Empire there was a legend.
According to the several thousand years old legend, this Divine Continent initially truly wasn’t ruled by humans.
And instead was entirely controlled by a man within whose veins flowed the blood of the demon clan.
However, he wasn’t interested in power at all.
No matter how much the outside world flourished, it had no relation to him.
He only lived within his palace, possessing the good looks and eternal life that everyone envied, a devil who held the whole world in his hands.
No matter whether it was the spirit beasts or the humans, they all possessed a kind of abnormal adoration and worship towards him.
They wanted to approach him, yet simultaneously also revered him in their hearts.
But the human race couldn’t be controlled forever by a demon.
That’s why all of the influential clans sent a young lady to approach this man.
The young lady simply couldn’t imagine that in this world, besides herself, there could be such a imposingly noble person.
He only sat on the throne and didn’t even glance at her, and instead gazed out of the window at the forest in a cold and detached manner. He half supported the side of his face and casually smiled, get actually made the heaven and earth pale in comparison.
Just like that, the young lady fell in love with this man. But at the final moment, for the sake of mankind being able to rule the entire continent, she chose to betray him.
She met with two buddhist monks who had profound magical powers derived from their blood and their having loved a pure life. They followed along the mountain range along the Divine Continent and in the four directions of east, west, north and south, they set up four seals that had the power to subdue monsters and get rid of demons.
This short bit of history was recorded thus in the Daoist scriptures. “At that time, the earth suffered landslides and the ground split open. Ghosts wept and gods howled. The heavens fell in a rain of blood continually for seven days and seven nights. Hordes of demons were trapped in the underworld for eternity to never see the light again.”
All for the sake of entrapping that demonic man, because the young lady knew how strong he was. Even if he was weakened by a bit, they wouldn’t be able to suppress him.
What’s more, there was a spirit beast with control of four elements by his side, a fire qilin!
Just like that.
The man disappeared and even the four elements spirit beast, the fire qilin, received no small measure of injury and ended up being kept within Spirit Forest.
Countless numbers of people wanted to tame it, so much so that they even attempted to use spirit beast contracts to restrict it. Yet again and again, they were always devoured instead.
When the fire qilin appeared again, talented people from the four great clans were panic-stricken, because reportedly, the person who was chosen by the fire qilin could very possibly become the generation’s king!
Humans were like that. When they met with a matter that affected them, they’d always react by doing what benefited them the most, to the extent that they would even ruthlessly kill, sparing no one!
Third Prince didn’t even cultivate demonic powers, yet they already treated him in this way.
If others knew that she possessed a devil’s emissary, she wondered how they would deal with her.
That’s why in the past, Wei Wei had never ordered Yuan Ming. It’s precisely in order to avoid being discovered.
Currently, she only hoped that her movements just now were too quick. It’s good if Third Prince didn’t sense anything.
Thinking up to this point, Wei Wei turned towards the young man’s direction and looked over. She only saw that his expression seemed somewhat off, and seemed as if…he couldn’t see anything.
“Why is it like this?” Wei Wei creased her long, shapely eyebrows. Strength Scattering Poison didn’t have the effect of making people go blind, right?
Baili Jia Jue’s voice was faint. “The poison from ten years ago reappeared.”
“Are you talking about that big fire within the imperial palace?” Wei Wei’s eyes narrowed. People from the four great clans truly were awfully vicious and merciless. “Give me your hand.”
Regardless of the poison from before, she needed to first treat the current poison.
Baili Jia Jue paused a little before he brought his left hand over.
With a tug, Wei Wei tore off his sleeve into tiny fragments. She was aware of that poison’s deadliness, yet she didn’t imagine that it’d penetrate so quickly!
There’s no more time. The skin around the wound had already slowly darkened.
She had to think of a way immediately!
If she had some tools on hand, she could still do a ‘small operation’ on his behalf. She’d previously had to disguise herself as so many identities. Those small surgical operations weren’t difficult for her at all.
However, right now, not only did they not have any tools, those black clothed people still hadn’t left. In not much more than a moment’s time, they’d find them.
However, this kind of poison could not be delayed. If they continued to delay treatment, Third Prince could very possibly become disabled!
Wei Wei already had a taste of what it’s like to be a useless person within War Dragon Empire. Almost everyday, the body she inhabited was a reminder to her that it was actually because of not having martial qi that she suffered humiliation.
Baili Jia Jue already lost his martial qi once before because of that big fire.
Wei Wei knew that it was easier for people to accept being elevated from a low position to a higher one. Dropping from a higher position into a lower one, though, caused a pain in the heart that no other person could understand.
That’s even more so for someone who was like Baili Jia Jue, a perfectionist elevated on high.
No matter what, if it wasn’t because of her, that arrow definitely would’ve been avoided by him.
Wei Wei raised her eyes. That pair of long and narrow beautiful eyes of his had already lost their usual apathetic ice-coldness. There wasn’t any light reflected in them whatsoever. The skin under his hand was scalding, unlike how it was formerly.
Wei Wei was startled by the scalding temperature that radiated from his body.
Moreover, that temperature was astonishingly high. “You’re running a fever. When did this started happening?” She wanted to know if it was his own body causing the change, or if it had something to do with the Strength Scattering Poison.
Baili Jia Jue complicatedly looked at the her who was only about a foot away from him. The two of them were extremely close in proximity. In order to avoid the black clothed people, her whole body simply rested within his embrace and was more obedient than at any other time.
However…
“A fever?” Baili Jia Jue was cold and indifferent no matter in what kind of situation. “I’m running a fever?”
Having heard what was said, Wei Wei practically was almost speechless. Could it be that he didn’t even know when he started running a fever?”
“How about this, I’ll ask in a different way. At what time did you start to feel a headache?” Wei Wei watched as the young man used his slender fingers to press upon his long eyebrows. As his long sleeves rolled up, he straightened out his own train of thought.
Baili Jia Jue’s face looked at her blankly.
Wei Wei’s mouth twitched twice. “It couldn’t be that you didn’t even know when your head started aching, right?”
“I know.” A certain highness quite absent-mindedly spoke two words to her.
Wei Wei sighed a very, very long sigh. Finally. It could be said that they could still communicate.
“That day that you fled from me.” Even a certain highness’ manner of speaking didn’t change. Contained within the gracefulness there was an ice-coldness of someone who claimed a high position.
Wei Wei:…
What kind of situation were they in the middle of, yet Third Prince was still in the mood to stress her out!
Was he trying to increase her guilty feelings, or what? !
No.
Third Prince shouldn’t be a person with that kind of personality.
Wei Wei readjusted her feelings. “So what you’re saying is that you’ve already run a fever for three days and two nights.” How could there be a person like that in the world. What everyone said was spot on. Third Prince wasn’t a person, but a god!
“I’m not sure.” Baili Jia Jue’s face inclined. His emotionless expression was thoroughly indifferent no matter what wounds resided in his blood.
That was it!
It seemed that the situation still wasn’t that terrible. At least, the Strength Scattering Poison still hadn’t penetrated that deeply.
Wei Wei’s gaze turned and fell on Baili Jia Jue’s hand. Without thinking more on it, she instead resolutely inhaled one breath, after which she quickly stooped over…
