Baili Jia Jue’s fingers paused and his cold thin lips convulsed slightly as he watched the thin lips forming a hickey on his arm as Wei Wei sucked in poison for his sake. Suddenly, the light in his eyes focused and he directly pushed her to the side, using force to restrain her wrist, his voice was apathetic. “Don’t you know what kind of poison this is and yet you just randomly suck it in.”

“Strength Scattering Poison, ptui, pth!” Wei Wei spit out a mouthful of the black blood she’d just sucked in, then she carelessly and casually faced his gaze. “It’s merely a little bit of martial qi. If it came to that, I’ll be fine once I cultivate again. Hey, I say, Highness, as a blind person, couldn’t you be more obedient.”

His eyes could no longer see yet he could still be so fierce. Sure enough, he’s truly not human.

Wei Wei breathed a long sigh and prepared to resume sucking out the poisonous blood on his behalf at the next opportunity!

But Baili Jia Jue directly used his left hand to press against her head. “This Highness is thinking that you don’t want your life.”

“Yes yes yes, wait until you have the strength then punish me with nine familial extermination*, all right?”

(* translator’s note: the nine familial extermination was the most extreme form of punishment reserved for the most unforgivable crimes against the crown or country. Nine groups of the offender’s family were executed along with the offender – parents, grandparents, children, grandchildren, siblings and spouses, uncles/aunts and spouses, cousins, criminal’s spouse/s, criminal’s spouse/s’ parents.)

While Wei Wei bent over, she also spoke ambiguously. “It’s best that all of those people from the Helian family are executed.” That’d also save her from wasting her own strength.

Baili Jia Jue’s eyes seemed as if they flashed a little as he watched this hare-brained little head before his eyes. Within the depths of his pupils, a faint trace of gentleness seemed to have appeared. This woman was ordinarily vicious and merciless, yet when she’s well-behaved, she instead appeared quite pleasing to the eye.

“All right. That’s more or less acceptable.” Wei Wei sucked in several mouthfuls in a row and spit the dark blood upon the ground, then turned to looking at the wound. “However, this is still merely a temporary measure. We need to find a place as quickly as possible to help you get rid of the rest of the poison completely.”

After she finished speaking, she again spit out two mouthfuls of poison in succession. The surface of her lips felt somewhat numb, and she could feel that some of her qi flowed into nothingness. However, that could still be counted as a very good outcome. Just as she’d said, once she cultivated again, she’d be fine.

Contrary to what one might expect, Yuan Ming evilly laughed. “Girl, you are truly generous to this Third Prince. Could it be that you’ve fallen for him?”

Wei Wei ‘heh-heh’d twice and replied within her consciousness. “Haven’t you always said that I have feelings for you, so up until now, have I?”

“Or perhaps it’s because you feel that this senior don’t place you in my eyes that you’ve decided to show off your chosen alternate, this Third Prince, in front of me.”

The degree of Yuan Ming’s narcissism was absolutely directly proportional to his age.

Wei Wei’s eyebrows rose. “You can sober up now. Even someone with bad eyes knows that you’re actually the one who’s the alternate.”

Even if Third Prince was an evildoer, he still was a perfect evildoer. Everyone else really couldn’t compare.

Wei Wei’s gaze again fell on the side of Baili Jia Jue’s face. She wondered what in the world this evildoer’s appearance was really like.

Everyone said that the big fire destroyed Third Prince’s looks.

That’s why Third Prince had to wear a silver mask at all times. Except for a select few, no one else had seen his real appearance.

In the past, Wei Wei had even believed this rumor.

However, at present, Wei Wei really felt that based on this evildoer’s style, his face could very well not have been destroyed.

All of this was very possibly smoke and mirrors that this man had deliberately released.

It’s been said that curiosity killed the cat. The more Wei Wei looked at that man almost within her reach, the more her heart itched.

Due to the fact that their positions were particularly close together, the tip of her nose was completely filled with the man’s fragrant scent of sandalwood faintly lingering all around, seemingly as if he could shade a person within a section of a very small world. No matter how much the outside was in turmoil or chaos, or utterly dangerous, even the smallest vestige of it wouldn’t appear on his body.

On the contrary, it would even allow a person to possess a kind of indifference that comes from holding the world in the palm of their hands.

The light in Wei Wei’s eyes moved. Even though she knew the circumstances wasn’t very good, she still wanted to take advantage of the current opportunity that allowed her to approach Third Prince and see what in the world he looked like!

Thinking this way, Wei Wei cautiously raised her hand and was just about to quickly lift open that silver mask, when the man’s hand easily grabbed her wrist. In a very deep voice, he spoke. “Not behaving again?”

“We’ve been trapped here. I just wanted to find something to do.” Wei Wei pretended to be regretful as she replied. “I’m thinking of how I’m still so young, yet have already been surrounded to be killed. I’m at death’s door, so before entering, I just wanted to know the appearance of the person by my side.”

Having heard her utterly emotional tone of voice, Baili Jia Jue’s thin lips slowly curved upwards. Don’t know if it was intentional or unintentional, but his breath, bit by bit, blew on top of her left ear. His response contained another deep meaning. “You’re definitely not merely thinking of looking at my appearance, right?”

“A person like me doesn’t care much about good or bad looks.” Upon analysis, it’s still her curiosity that’s causing mischief. Wei Wei shrugged her shoulders and eagerly continued to push forward.

Baili Jia Jue laughed deeply, bewitchingly coldly and indifferently, yet possessing subtleties that Wei Wei didn’t understand.

After that, he said. “The person taking off my mask will have to be by my side for a lifetime. Are you sure you want to take it off?”

Once she heard these words, Wei Wei immediately pulled her hand back.

Baili Jia Jue naturally was able to sense her movements. The originally empty pupils suddenly submerged ferociously. The ends of his mouth also caught a faint icy chill.

Treating him like she couldn’t shun him fast enough.

Sigh, and he’d even just thought that she was well-behaved.

It seemed that everything was but a misunderstanding. The kind of prey such as a fox would forever be awfully crafty and sly. He still should not loosen any of his guard when facing her.

Thinking of this, Baili Jia Jue lifted up his numb hand and pressed it on his own forehead.

After seeing his actions, the hand Wei Wei withdrew again stretched forward. However, it didn’t go to lift his silver mask. Instead, she used the back of her hand to press on top of his forehead.

Her hand was very cool. Placed on top of his scalding forehead, it made Baili Jia Jue, who felt uncomfortable, slightly relax his eyebrows.

But Wei Wei paused when she was burned by that temperature. The fever hadn’t abated. Furthermore, the temperature had continued to rise. Even if Third Prince was not human, he still needed to receive treatment as soon as possible!

“I…” Wei Wei had just opened her mouth when she heard a burst of footsteps from a not distant place. Those people had found them!

Wei Wei’s breathing became slightly sluggish. Before the arrow arrived, her fingers had already rapidly extended and an umbrella appeared where there was none. Her long legs swept over as three or four black clothed people simultaneously arrived on the ground.

“Go!” Wei Wei wanted to pull Baili Jia Jue along.

But she saw his thay slim and graceful body stood there calmly and unhurriedly while his fingers brushed away the dust that wasn’t there on his body. His voice was as emotionless as before. “That’s not necessary.”

“Huh?” Wei Wei’s eyebrows jumped.

Baili Jia Jue’s pair of eyes looked normal as he grabbed her and pulled her back, but within the tone of his voice there was an evilness that had never been there before. “We now number more than them.”

The sound of the man’s words had just dropped.

When Wei Wei saw that not so far away, countless numbers of warhorses surged forward and approached from the distance. All of those people were attired in the black uniform of a cavalry soldier, a black face shield on their faces, their hands holding a curved single-edged sword. They seemed like a black wind that engulfed everything. Wherever they passed, a field of blood would be left behind.

However, the man just stood amidst that field reeking of blood, his eyes not even blinking, without attracting a single speck of dust. His cleanness and ice-cold aloofness was forever like a god’s.

However, Wei Wei knew that he had never been any compassionate nor forgiving god, but instead, a devil!
