Chapter 465: His Highness As An Evil Love Rival
Baili Jia Jue did not feel exhausted as he calmly responded to the various ideas that Helian Wei Wei spewed from her mind. He was even fully cooperative, trying not to disrupt her fun in ‘wife courting’. He merely petted her head and agreed quietly with her.
Helian Wei Wei felt that it was a complete victory for her. At the very least, it was a successful attempt at taming him.
As she was sitting in the carriage, she admitted that she had ‘confessed her love’ to Chi Yan in the past. She asked with a slightly troubled expression, “How am I supposed to face him now?”
“Don’t you know?” Baili Jia Jue lazily questioned her back after listening to her.
Helian Wei Wei crossed her two long legs, munching on an osmanthus cake in her mouth as she asked, “What should I know?”
“Those from the Chi family do not seem to be too fond of women…” Baili Jia Jue said it obscurely.
An immediate realization dawned on Helian Wei Wei’s expression. Then, she inquired, “Are you saying that Chi Yan is gay? Well, that could be possible… I can see that he is not very close to other women. Even though he is very influential, he doesn’t have any servants under him.”
The Little Seventh Prince suddenly gnashed his teeth as he was eating the cake. His Third Brother had started to claim Chi Yan was gay in order to make Third Aunt nip her feelings in the bud. Isn’t this a bit shameless?
At this thought, the little one turned his head around and glanced at his Third Brother.
Baili Jia Jue continued to sip his tea calmly, allowing Helian Wei Wei to misunderstand his words.
From a certain angle, the Third Prince’s words were actually true.
Chi Yan did not like to be too close to women, scarcely any woman could catch his eye.
However, the way he spoke…
“So, you don’t need to worry about how to face him in the future. Just keep away from him, and don’t mention anything from the past that’ll make both of you feel awkward.”
Helian Wei Wei nodded and yawned lazily, saying, “If there’s nothing major in the future, I will not be involved with him anymore. I wonder how much I owed him in the past life. Luckily, he’s gay.”
“Hmm…” As long as they had no contact with one another, there would be no room for any progress in their relationship… Baili Jia Jue allowed Helian Wei Wei to lean on him as the thoughts riddled his mind, the corner of his mouth raised slightly. He was simply evil, down to his very bones.
The Little Seventh Prince ate all the three pastries in his hand in one big bite and thought to himself as his cheeks were stuffed with food. Poor Chi Yan, the woman he likes thinks he’s gay, sigh…
Well, why does he have to fall in love with the Third Aunt, of all women?
Third Brother’s skill in ‘tomb-digging’ is notorious in the entire country. A slight touch from him can make anyone evaporate instantly, leaving not even a trace of their body.
Chi Yan will perhaps never comprehend the reason he lost, even until the very end…
Yuan Ming was staying in the Fantasy Space when he heard it. His eyes were filled with an unprecedented uneasiness as he asked, “Woman, what happened just now? Whitey and I kept calling for you but you didn’t respond at all. You almost broke the contract between us.”
Helian Wei Wei closed her eyes, her voice was significantly calmer as she said, “It’s the previous Helian Wei Wei, she seems to be very fond of Chi Yan and wants to come back to replace me.”
“That’s strange.” Yuan Ming rubbed his chin as he said, “The truth is, you didn’t actually possess this body. ‘Possessing’ means that your soul took over her body while she is still alive. However, I can sense that this body no longer contains a living soul when you entered it. It was merely a soulless empty shell, so how can the previous Helian Wei Wei come back?”
Helian Wei Wei lowered her eyes and claimed, “But she really wants to come back.” The nightmares that were haunting her for the past few days and her previous reaction could attest to this very fact.
At this moment, Whitey, who had been silent all these while, finally said, “Could it be a dead soul?”
“A dead soul?” Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows and thought to herself. What nonsense is this?
Yuan Ming squinted his eyes and chimed in, “Normal people would not usually become a dead soul.”
“Don’t forget that Helian Wei Wei is not a normal person, she is the reincarnation of the Phoenix Girl.” Whitey said coldly, “She has the ability of the Exorcising Tribe in her.”
Yuan Ming pursed his lips and suddenly smiled evilly, “This is why I don’t like the people from the Exorcising Tribe, they are like cockroaches that can never perish.”
Whitey made no comments…
Yuan Ming lowered his gaze and continued, “Even though it’s a dead soul, Wei Wei’s body shouldn’t be invaded so easily as her spiritual power is too potent. Someone must be behind all this.”
“Yuan Xiaoming.” Helian Wei Wei uttered lazily, “How big is the possibility for the same person to be behind both my incident and the formation of aura of resentment in the academy?”
Yuan Ming grinned wickedly as he replied, “70 percent.”
“I would say it’s 90 percent.” Helian Wei Wei let out a laugh and said, “Unfortunately, the person is extremely smart and the four elders are shielding him, hiding the secret in the foggy shadows. It seems like we have to remove the four elders from the picture to uncover his real identity. The people from the Helian family are still not on my side. Therefore, I need to make a name for myself beforehand, so that I could properly reclaim my possessions. When I’m done, I will deal with him.”
Yuan Ming raised his eyebrows and queried, “Have you decided to take action?”
“That person doesn’t want me to stay.” As Helian Wei Wei was communicating with them through her consciousness, she glanced at Baili Jia Jue who was standing next to her and continued, “However, I must do it, I have my reasons as well.”
Yuan Ming noticed her gaze and gently reminded her, “Be careful of giving him your heart in the end, it might shatter you into pieces.”
“He’s worth it.” These three words were sufficient for her to explain everything.
Helian Wei Wei did not want to fixate on this matter for too long. She tilted her head as she pondered to herself. I only have one month left, how can I make a name for myself in such a short period of time?
Unless… I’m transferred away from the Capital!
In modern times, as she was in charge of the mercenary, she had dealt with many members of the political circle.
The bona fide children of the highly-ranked officials would leave the Capital to create a name for themselves after entering politics.
The art of being a politician, no matter in ancient times or the modern era, was roughly the same.
Should I try to transfer to other localities?
However, not only was she not a child from any influential family, but she was also not a man…
It seemed like she will have to talk to the Imperial Grandfather and asked him to grant her an identity that would allow her to be transferred away from the Capital.
As her train of thoughts ended, she relayed her idea to Baili Jia Jue.
Baili Jia Jue laughed quietly and replied, “Since you’re transferring, then you would need a military advisor.”
“Yes, I originally wanted Chi Yan to go with me, but…” Helian Wei Wei merely sighed, she never thought that she would lose a great general at this crucial moment.
Baili Jia Jue’s grip tightened as he held the teacup in his hand. Then, he leaned over and lightly pinched her chin, saying, “So you’re saying that you want to abandon me and leave the Palace by yourself?”
“That’s not it.” Helian Wei Wei bit her tongue, flashing a very sincere smile.
Baili Jia Jue slightly raised his brows, but he did not probe further into the veracity of her reply. He merely kissed her lips and said, “You can…”
