All of a sudden, Helian Wei Wei recalled what he once told her when she left. “I might hate you after I follow you back. Would you still want to make me go back with you?”
How can she forget that this man always kept his words!
Just like what’s happening right now, he didn’t even bother to spare her a glance.
Her bent fingers were turning cold. Helian Wei Wei moved her legs and tried to get up, only to find that she was exhausted of energy. She could barely stand and that made her grumbled through her consciousness stream, “Yuan Xiaoming, don’t you think that His Highness is so damn petty? Not only does he tend to hold grudges, comforting him is like having a devil’s own job. Tell me, what else could I do other than to come back? And now he’s ignoring me and he really means it. Capitalists are indeed inhumane.”
Helian Wei Wei had initially wanted to vent her grievance together with Yuan Ming.
However, for reasons unknown, Yuan Ming was still not responding to her.
That’s weird.
Yuan Ming used to dislike His Highness and found him rather annoying.
Why did he stayed silent this time?
On the contrary, it was Baili Jia Jue who halted. He directed his lofty gaze passed Green Dragon and onto Helian Wei Wei.
Helian Wei Wei did not understand what he meant. His expression was aloof, as if he was telling her to just wait and see.
It can’t be that he knows I’m talking bad about him, right?
Nah it can’t be. It was not possible for him to receive my consciousness stream since he was not Yuan Ming.
He must have hated me so much and was now thinking of ways to torture her.
“Inhumane,” Helian Wei Wei added, even her clenched fist was raised. Her eyes flared with anger, but at the same time there was also a tint of unspeakable misery.
Her chest felt tight, which was a rather unpleasant feeling.
This was when the people from the Holy Worship Temple arrived. Nangong Lie had brought in an army to subdue the imperial guards whom the Emperor had arranged to surround the entire Palace of Heavenly Purity. An odd expression flashed across his face when he saw Helian Wei Wei, which was obviously different from the past. Certainly it was not going to be the same since his memory had been refreshed.
However, it was not hard for Nangong Lie to accept new things since he was a worshipper who basically knew everything. Regarding the case where someone returned to the past and altered their memory, it did not actually bother him much.
The part that felt thorny to Nangong Lie was Baili Jia Jue’s thoughts about Helian Wei Wei.
Back then when this woman left, Ah Jue was full of rage as if he had lost hope for everything. When he was executing a kill, his gaze was extremely distant, as though those who died in front of him were none of his business at all.
He confined himself to the palace and shut down all connection to the outside world. He refused to contact anybody and had turn everything down, including the invitation card from that person in the Helian family.
Ever since that day, there was no one by Ah Jue’s side anymore. Nangong Lie could clearly feel the hatred emitting from him. It was chilly like a cut diamond, perfect yet hurtful.
Nangong Lie felt obliged to speak for Helian Wei Wei as her former ally. With that in mind, he sidestepped to block Baili Jia Jue’s path, “Ah Jue, are you really setting yourself against Boss Wei? Frankly speaking, I don’t think she did anything wrong.” Although up to now, he was still puzzled by Helian Wei Wei’s decision to return to the past and disappear without a trace. But according to her style of doing things, she must be doing it for the greater good.
Ignoring him completely, Baili Jia Jue strode past and spat the words at him without turning his head back, “Shut up.”
As he finished, he made his way toward Helian Wei Wei. There he was, walking past the crowd like a natural illuminator that drew everyone’s attention.
He had not changed a bit. His beautiful and profound eyes outlined his charming gorgeousness, while a faint smile lingered at the corner of his lips. But the way he looked at Helian Wei Wei was so cold that she could even feel it piercing her bones.
So, has he made up his mind to ignore me and treat me like a stranger now?
Helian Wei Wei’s fingers brushed across the black feathers on the ground. As she lifted her head again, she caught sight of a pair of slender and straight legs.
She looked up following that pair of legs and found the strikingly handsome man standing right in front of her. His eyes spelled elegance and remarkable handsomeness, but his gaze was frosty like the cold blade of a jagged knife. The fur cloak around his shoulder made his aura of nobility even more distinct.
Baili Jia Jue bent slightly so that his sight was now level with hers. His expression was nothing but icy. With the strength that seemed possible to lock everything he saw, he clamped his hand around her leg as she was trying to get up.
Meanwhile, Nangong Lie flinched as he watched nervously. Was Ah Jue trying to teach her a lesson right here?
Helian Wei Wei furrowed her eyebrows and met his eyes.
Baili Jia Jue’s long and slender fingers were holding Helian Wei Wei’s ankle. The familiar smile that set her heart racing was on his lips, but his cold glare made Helian Wei Wei wanted to escape.
This was when Baili Jia Jue whispered into her ears. His voice was deep and appealing, “Inhumane? So damn petty? Tend to hold grudges, comforting him is like having a devil’s own job? Hmm?”
Helian Wei Wei’s eyes were wide open as she heard these adjectives. He knew what was on my mind? No way!
“Yuan Xiaoming, he…” Helian Wei Wei was still trying to use her consciousness stream.
Baili Jia Jie pinched her chin directly, his cold breath was against her lips, “Stop calling. Can’t you see the connection between you and me?”
“Connection?” Helian Wei Wei lowered her gaze and found a new patterned marking on both of their wrists. That was the symbol of an eternal contract and it would be formed once the owner sold his or her soul to the devil.
Firstly, that symbol was to allow the owner to summon the devil in case of difficulties.
Secondly, it was to make it easier for the devil to control the owner. As long as the symbol remained intact, the devil would be able to find the owner regardless of where the owner went. And it could seize and devour the owner’s soul whenever it wished to do so.
However, why would this symbol appear on Baili Jia Jue’s hand? Yuan Ming was the one whom she had made the contract with. Could it be…
Confused, a sudden thought crossed her mind, “You and Yuan Ming? Both of you?”
There was hardly any warmth in Baili Jia Jue’s voice as he spoke slowly, “Yuan Ming was one of my soul fragments as well. During the time when Divine Exorcism Seal descended on earth and I was reborn as a human, the demonic remains had turned into Yuan Ming. He lost all his previous memories and magic after being sealed in the ancient book. An eternal contract shall only be made with the primordial spirit of a devil, and I am the primordial spirit of Yuan Ming.”
Helian Wei Wei was speechless. So does this mean that the summoning spell I chanted just now had actually summoned the primordial spirit? The primordial spirit would definitely merge with its soul fragment and become her new contracted devil. Which is to say, the recipient of all my previous ranting was His Highness?
