“Following this, where do we go to leave the city?” Yuan Ming lead their conversation back to the main topic.
Helian Wei Wei thought about it for a moment, and shook her head before replying. “We can’t just leave the city like this.”
“Why not? Didn’t you say that after you’ve restored your original appearance, you wouldn’t be recognized by people?” Yuan Ming’s brows jumped.
Wei Wei rubbed her chin. “It’s true I wouldn’t be recognized by people, however, it’s too attention grabbing, unless there’s someone who can leave with me.”
“Do you mean that we should go find Hei family’s second young master?” The white cat lazily stretched its own body. “Then let’s hurry and go. This royal one is hungry.”
Wei Wei ‘mm hm’d once, and was just stepping out when she returned again. “What do you guys think, based on Third Highness’ personality, will he let me off this easily?”
The white cat and Yuan Ming glanced at each other, flung back their heads and replied in unison. “No comment.”
“I feel that he holds tightly to a grudge.” Wei Wei’s fingers tapped on the wood comb. “But people do say, too, that he treats everything with indifference, neither cold nor hot. What’s most important is that he even withdrew the imperial guards within the capital…”
Yuan Ming didn’t participate in this conversation. He only crossed his hands in front of his chest as he looked at Wei Wei. The smile at the corners of his mouth had never subsided.
A devil’s emissary was different from a spirit beast.
The latter was unconditionally loyal.
But the former, however, needed to depend on its contractor’s determined commands much more. If its master didn’t possess enough fierceness or didn’t have enough resolution, then its fighting strength would also accordingly decrease.
Once its master didn’t have enough confidence, then it may break away from the contract at any time, recovering its freedom…
“At this time, we should…” The white cat had just opened its mouth.
Wei Wei just snatched the words away. “At this time, we should follow our own instincts and leave.”
“Then why were you analyzing so much for!” The white cat’s fur exploded.
Wei Wei stroked and stroked it, continuing to sigh. “Be good. I was just being democratic in guiding you guys to express your opinions, but in fact, this proved that democracy doesn’t suit me much, sigh!”
The white cat: […That’s enough, will somebody drag this girl away!]
“Let’s not go to Hei Ze’s side.” Wei Wei stood up straight, absolutely beautiful complexion under the first rays of morning sun, scattering and emitting a faint radiance. “Let’s separately think of a way!”
Yuan Ming watched the young girl standing against the light and smiled enchantingly as he concealed his body and slipped into the ancient book.
The white cat, however, knitted its brows and jumped on the young girl’s shoulder, its voice clear and cold. “So you don’t believe that Third Prince would so easily let you off?”
“Do you know that when humans are catching a prey, they’ll first choose a time to make their move?” Wei Wei glanced to the side at the white cat. “It’s when the prey is eating, because at that time, the preys are most relaxed and don’t put up their guard. The hunter will always arrange food around the trap and create the kind of ambiance that makes them comfortable.” After saying that, she lifted her head up and laughed softly. “If Third Prince wants to be a hunter, he must also ask me if I’m willing to be the prey or not.”
The fog scattered. The sky towards the east could be considered to be bright overall now.
When Shadow saw the shadow of the person sitting in the wood chair, he became slightly stunned. Did His Highness not sleep for the entire night?
The sound of movement was heard as a single hand propped up one side of Baili Jia Jue’s face while he looked up indolently, the pair of ice-cold eyes was as sober as a devil’s, and spoke in a tone as dull and indifferent as before. “How’s it going?”
“Reporting to His Highness, there hasn’t been anyone who approached Young Master Hei.” Shadow respectfully and reverently dropped his eyes, reporting without missing a beat. “However, what’s strange is that, Young Master Hei’s carriage had always never left the city, and is instead, stopping at an inn, as if he’s waiting for someone.”
Baili Jia Jue listened. His slender fingertips briefly touched the tabletop. This apparently was the gesture he commonly used when he’s pondering, within the gracefulness was a feeling of self-restraint while he’s devising plans. “Don’t need to watch anymore. She won’t go and look for Hei Ze again.”
Again don’t need to? More and more, Shadow was unable to see through his master’s series of moves. However, in order to insure their success, just in case, he still felt that they needed to keep watch. “Maybe the time is not right yet. Could that Miss Helian possibly be waiting for us to withdraw the troops? After all, previously, she was even playing this game, creating a diversion in the east while attacking the west.”
“Unlikely.” Once the teacup in Baili Jia Jue’s hand was pushed away, his thin lips spoke demonically coldly. “That little fox had never fought a battle without being sure of the outcome. No matter how many baits we laid out, once she sensed any danger, her first reaction will be to keep away from it. It’s been one night and she hasn’t appeared around Hei Ze, this showed that she has already guessed a little something.”
Such as, within this game, who is the hunter and who is the prey.
Only…
The prey that he chose this time was particularly disobedient. Baili Jia Jue’s hand that’s pinching the teacup’s handle tightened, so tightly that even the surrounding atmosphere also became colder.”
“A little something?” Shadow totally felt that his master’s words was a bit difficult for a person to fathom.
Baili Jia Jue didn’t explain further and only continued to ask in an indifferent tone. “Apart from what’s happening with Hei Ze, did anything else happen within the city.”
“Actually, there wasn’t anything else, just that recently, a goddess appeared. She’s even somewhat more beautiful than that number one beauty.” The more Shadow spoke, the softer his voice became, because His Highness had never been interested in these kinds of things.
Baili Jia Jue first laughed coldly once, then closed his eyes and planned to continue resting.
Shadow knew it was going to turn out this way, touched his nose a couple of times and planned on leaving.
Yet he saw Baili Jia Jue suddenly open his pair of eyes. Those eyes shined so much they almost scared people.
A goddess?
No wonder she could not be found at any of the city gates.
How could he have forgotten that originally, she even draped a layer of ‘skin’ on her body.
It’s just that, this kind of feeling from having other people peeping at his prey, actually doesn’t allow a person to be particularly happy!
Shadow still didn’t know what’s going on with his master.
At his end, Baili Jia Jue already stood up and smiled a smile that was not a smile while his long sleeves rolled, sending forth a burst of bone-chilling cold wind. “Go prepare the horse carriage. We immediately head for the city.”
“Yes.” As an accomplished and well-trained shadow, he could accept an order at any time without batting an eyelid. Just like how he’s doing it right now, though he basically didn’t understand why His Highness would suddenly decide to go into the city.
“Dispatch all the shadow troops.” Baili Jia Jue’s voice once more echoed, more ice-cold than at any other time, calmly pausing after each word, as if each word was moving along the edges of his lips. “Have that woman as beautiful as a goddess returned here.”
This time, Shadow really blanked out a bit as his eyes blinked. What’s His Highness thinking?
Not catching that Miss Helian and catching the goddess instead?
Who can tell him what the heck was going on?
Wei Wei also wanted to know, what the heck was going on! ! !
Originally, everything was going fine. She’d even planned to use some money to employ a servant girl and pretend to leave the city. But, how did so many shadow guards suddenly appear, and purposefully chose beautiful girls to target. This forced her to become a little mouse on a big street, hiding to the left, dodging to the right, cutting a very sorry figure!
“Girl, they are coming.” The white cat clearly and coldly said as it stood on top of a high rooftop. It could see a horse carriage belonging to the imperial household in the distance. It lowered its head, and looked into Wei Wei’s eyes, within the depths of its eyes, there surfaced a worry that had never been there before…
