Translator: Misty Cloud Editor: Misty Cloud

Having heard what was said, Baili Jia Jue’s retreating steps paused, his eyes as pitch black as night completely opened. That feeling of indifference along with the smile yet not a smile at the corners of his mouth gradually disappeared.

He furrowed his brows as if reflecting upon something, when his black fine hair flowed down, it was just enough to hide his pair of chilly pupils, demonic coldness and an aura of evil emerged on the corners of his eyes at the same time. There’s also a feeling that’s difficult to express, like a sharp thorn that could prick into a person’s heart.

Head Abbot Fang Zhang is thinking that the girl who’d become stinky youngster’s girlfriend was really pitiful.

He didn’t know that the instant the wood door closed, concealed under Baili Jia Jue’s sleeves, his hands grasped a little tightly, a ruthless aura lingered around him, becoming stronger and stronger. The bluestone pathway under his feet also was affected by his ruthless aura, continuously producing ‘kacha…kacha’ sounds, as if in the next moment, they would all fall apart.

He entered the boundless night. When the wind blew, ‘Tang… Tang’, this last name continually poured into his ear.

After that, he turned and walked towards a courtyard that he should not be going to.

It’s nighttime, the rain had just stopped. The early summer winds blew through the bamboo forest. Blowing against the face, it gave a person and indescribable comfortable feeling.

Wei Wei lifted her head while sitting in a wooden tub that’s half the height of a person and immersed in the comfortable feeling of the warm water.

Normally, in this kind of situation,Wei Wei would have Yuan Ming stay in the celestial boundary space. As for Little White, he’s still undergoing the tribulation, Wei Wei simply had it enter a dormant state, until the tribulation passes, then she would wake it up, In order for it to avoid lightning strikes when it came out.

She was the only person inside the room. Probably because they were in the mountains, the air appeared more pure at night, the ‘swish swish’ sound of leaves moving in the bamboo forest, extremely serene, made Wei Wei forget that due to obtaining the incense wood, after kneeling for 199 steps, she received minor injuries.

That wound was originally not big, but was a little inconvenient when bathing. The wound on her knee, when soaked in the water, became a little painful.

Wei Wei didn’t care about it, in the past, when she was on an assignment, the injuries that she received were much more serious than this one. In a moment, after she finished her bath, she’ll apply something and it will be fine.

The humidity in the mountains was too high, and too many layers of clothes to were worn in ancient times. If she was in some other place, Wei Wei would just wear a pair of sports shorts and that would handle it. This kind of wound would heal itself after a day in the air.

As Wei Wei was thinking of this, she was yawning. She was even holding a cup of sake in her hand. In her past life what she loved it to do most was to soak in her one meter wide bathtub sized for two and drink red wine while making orders. Sometimes, she would grab her tablet and read a novel.

She is unable to change the habits even though she’s now living in the ancient past. There is no hope for her in reading a novel using tablets, however, this beautiful scenery pacified her.

Wei Wei reached out, and was just about to put down the wine cup in her hand, when she heard a creaking sound. The wood door that she’d originally locked suddenly opened!

Wei Wei stared blankly, her gaze was extremely focused. Several bluish green bamboos by the moonlight filled door swayed gently and slowly.

The man was standing under the moonlight, wearing a flowing clouds patterned robe with wide sleeves over snow white clothes painted with vivid and lifelike bamboos, as if steeped in ink. Thick black hair was half bundled and fell on his broad back, like a deity from ancient times.

“Your Highness?”

Behind that man, Shadow was speaking anxiously. After all, this was Hidden Spirit Temple, women and men were supposed to he housed separately. Bursting into the courtyard the way Baili Jia Jue’s doing was already breaking the rules.

Shadow was only glad that currently, the sky was dark enough and most people were already asleep, he’s able to settle the few who were awake, otherwise, based on what His Highness was doing, tomorrow, they’d be invited to drink tea with Retired Emperor!

Baili Jia Jue seemed as if he hadn’t heard anything as he waved his spacious sleeves. That wood door then seemed to heed his command and closed once again. Not even the smallest trace of a crack remained.

He then stood that way beside the wooden tub, towering above her as he sized her up. After awhile. “You want to chat with me regarding some matters to follow without any clothes on like that?”

That’s when Wei Wei realized that even though this tub of steaming water was deep and rose petals were scattered on the surface, but it’s not that it’s not clear.

In a flash, a pink cloud soared onto her cheek and spread. Wei Wei grabbed the towel draped at the side and didn’t forget to remind Baili Jia Jue. “Troubling your High Highness to turn your head around.”

Baili Jia Jue looked at that patch of spreading red and in his heart, it seemed as if prickly weeds were growing like mad in his heart, an urge faintly growing. He clasped his fingers tightly, within those dark eyes, an unknown light flashed. He once again unhurriedly sized up Wei Wei, before he got his body to turn around.

Wei Wei swiftly wrapped that towel around her body, and firmly tied a knot. She also didn’t place any clothes by her side. If she wanted to change, she needed to walk pass that man to reach the other side.

Wei Wei thought about it and also didn’t think it’s a big deal. In any case, a towel was already wrapped around her body, so her bare foot straightforwardly stepped on the wooden floor, when she sidestepped Baili Jia Jue, she took a glance at his face. His thick eyelashes closed gently, a dense aura of self-restraint. It seemed a certain Highness didn’t have any intention of taking a glancing at her, she could relax and boldly go get her clothes.

But what she didn’t expect was that, she was just passing him when Baili Jia Jue’s body moved. He probably couldn’t tell with closed eyes from which direction she’d walk by and where to make way, so it instead made her directly bumped into his chest.

An incomparably fresh and clean scent of sandalwood seeped into her breath in a flash, fragrant and precious, extremely typical of him.

Wei Wei frowned as she watched him slowly open his eyes, it’s indeed an inquiring pair of eyes. Also, the shape of his eyes contained a slight implication of teasing and rumination, despite this, his aloof and cold nature was still displayed. “Did you do that on purpose? Purposefully bumped into my chest.”

“Your Highness, you’re really overthinking it.” Wei Wei demonically laughed, and wanted to push him away.

Unfortunately, the strip of cloth tying the towel together landed in the other person’s palm.

That pair of slender hands held literary scrolls within White Academy, beyond White Academy, they held Heaven and Earth, so beautiful that it make a person think of ancient white chinaware displayed in a museum.

This kind of hand was very suitable for holding champagne glasses, but was actually even more suitable for…murder.

But what he’s currently holding was actually the strip of cloth used for tying the towel. This made Wei Wei feel that everything wasn’t so normal. “Your Highness, don’t you think that you should release your hand?” Wei Wei smiled all of a sudden, as her hands crossed in front of her chest. “I don’t believe that Your Highness came in the dark of night just to play with the strip of cloth on my towel, right?”

Baili Jia Jue uttered ‘hm?’ then slowly approached her, on hand rested on her back, his gaze also immediately drifting downwards…
