Chapter 587: I Stayed For You
Thump!
Xiao Kui’s head was spinning from the fall and blood started leaking from her nose and dripped to the back of her hand. She looked miserable.
She was going crazy at that moment. She started making threatening gestures as she intended to attack back!
Helian Wei Wei gripped her wrist in an instant. Her tone was cold, “Even if he really wanted to teach me a lesson, does that have anything to do with you?”
She made another kick!
Xiao Kui’s whole body was hurting.
Helian Wei Wei was not being merciful to her at all.
She was never the kind of person who would keep things to herself.
Moreover, she never thought that Baili Jia Jie would take care of Ni Feng.
Ni Feng was really smart. She would still have a chance to win if the incident yesterday never happened.
However, it was clear that she was now a completely different person to Baili Jia Jue.
“I’m saying this one more time. Let me enter.” The wind was swirling out from Helian Wei Wei’s palm.
One of the magical beasts blurted out under panic, “It’d be useless for you to enter. The King isn’t here!”
“He’s not here?” Helian Wei Wei raised her brow. “Where is he then?”
The magical beast was prideful. “Lady Wei Wei, you should give up! I’ll never tell you that the King has gone to the magical prison!”
One moment passed.
All the noises in the court paused.
Another beast who was standing proudly with a straight chest beside the magical beast almost choked to death upon listening to its words!
Helian Wei Wei rubbed her chin and laughed out, “The magical prison? Thanks.”
“I…” The magical beast appeared as though it was trying to redeem itself.
However, Helian Wei Wei’s speediness in doing things never gave it a chance to speak up. She turned around and disappeared into the corner of the court.
“I… What now?” The magical beast was in a daze.
Another magical beast pulled it over and roared, “Inform Boss Qilin immediately, you dumb*ss! Do you even have a brain?”
“How about this woman?” The magical beast was referring to Xiao Kui who was struggling painfully on the ground.
The other magical beast pressed on her back with its claws. “She’ll be fine. Let’s go.”
“Fine.” The magical beast’s brain never functioned fast under normal circumstances, even its movements were slow.
Xiao Kui watched the two magical beasts leaving unwillingly. She wiped off the blood from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand as an intense murderous intent flashed past her eyes.
Damn, that Helian Wei Wei!
That b*tch!
How dare she hurt me!
Just wait and see! I will make you suffer and you’ll wish that you’re dead!
I’ll tell Sister Ni what you did right away!
“You’re saying that Helian Wei Wei left the prison cage?” Ni Feng, who was taking her medicine paused abruptly, “How dare she?”
Xiao Kui wailed while she complained, “You should see how barbaric she was, she beat me up in front of the magical beasts! There’s nothing that she wouldn’t do! I think she’s on her way to look for the King.”
Ni Feng paused and asked, “How about the King? What did he say?”
“Sister Ni, you’re finally concerned about the King’s reaction.” Xiao Kui pouted, “That woman didn’t meet the King. The magical beasts said that the King went to the magical prison, I supposed he’s there to interrogate the prisoners. Judging by how rash and hasty Helian Wei Wei was, it’s highly possible that she’ll ruin the King’s plan to interrogate the prisoners.”
Ni Feng’s smile darkened upon hearing that.
However, there is no rush with things like this.
The King will have to interrogate that prisoner sooner or later. If not today, then tomorrow…
Xiao Kui’s guess was correct. Helian Wei Wei blocked in front of Baili Jia Jue right before he entered the magical prison.
Looking at her popping in like that, Baili Jia Jue squinted his eyes and said to Fire Qilin beside him without turning his head, “Are all the magical beasts in the Pandemonium dead? How can they allow a person to walk around like that?”
That moment, everyone felt the icy aura emitted from him.
Helian Wei Wei’s scalp was getting numb from the coolness. She raised her head and looked into a pair of dead cold eyes; her heart could feel as if it was clenched by something.
“Please listen to me! What I said yesterday was…”
Helian Wei Wei wanted to explain.
However, Baili Jia Jue acted like she did not exist and head forward. He seemed to be unhappy to see her there. It seemed like he was irritated because of what happened…
Helian Wei Wei’s finger stopped. She never thought about what would happen if Baili Jia Jue started to detest her.
Right, nobody said that he would definitely fall in love with her again once she appeared in front of him.
This is not a dream, I can’t just do everything in my own way.
This is the reality.
If the one bothering the other did not have any self-realization, the disturbance would certainly become hate…
Realizing that, Helian Wei Wei’s heart shrunk and her steps slowed down.
Baili Jia Jue continued walking in front of her, his tone was cold, “What? Are you expecting me to stand near you to listen to your explanation?”
Does that mean that he’s willing to listen to me?
A smile appeared on Helian Wei Wei’s face. She started pacing forward to follow him.
Baili Jia Jue’s attitude toward her was still cold, but at least she had a chance.
As long as there’s a chance, even if it’s a slight one. As a bossy president, I must seize the moment well!
When the two of them passed by the riverside of Styx River, Helian Wei Wei plucked a bunch of jimsonweed and handed it to Baili Jia Jue without thinking.
Baili Jia Jue opened his eyes. Instead of accepting the flowers from her hands, he asked, “Where’s my coat?”
“What coat?” Helian Wei Wei did not see any coat around as the first thing she did after she woke up was breaking the door to find Baili Jia Jue.
Baili Jia Jue gave her a long gaze.
That gaze made Helian Wei Wei feel guilty for no reason at all. She felt as if she did something wrong to him.
Suddenly, Baili Jia Jue broke into laughter while looking at her. He pulled his fingers out of his gloves and rubbed her chin as if he was petting a cat. “Forget it. You should go back into the cage. You might recall something after staying there for a while.”
Helian Wei Wei thought to herself. So, you’re smiling because you’re amused with the idea of locking me up?
“Why? You don’t like that idea?” Baili Jia Jue’s faint smile lost its warmth. His expression turned back to his usual indifference. “Since you’re not interested in the matters regarding the queen-choosing, perhaps you want to return to the human world?”
Helian Wei Wei was dumbfounded, “It’s not like that.”
“Then?” Baili Jia Jue looked at her with a cold expression.
Helian Wei Wei sighed, “Your Highness, can you not be this pretentious?”
Baili Jia Jue lost his interest in talking to her upon hearing that. He turned and walked away in an instant.
Helian Wei Wei ran to catch up with him. “That’s not what I meant. You see how it is. That cage will never keep me in if I really wanted to go back…”
“Thanks for the reminder.” Baili Jia Jue interrupted her with a faint smile and cool eyes, “Assigning two magical beasts to guard after you seemed to be useless. I should just break your claws so that you can settle down.”
Helian Wei Wei was frustrated. She shouted his name out bluntly, “Baili Jia Jue, can’t you just listen to me! The only reason I stayed here is because of you!”
