“The Green Dragon’s temperament is affected by the Qi in its surroundings. When it was trapped at the bottom of the lake, the air of serenity here at the White Academy allowed it to maintain its nature. If the air of serenity is destroyed, then the Green Dragon will be demonized and fall under my control.”

The Demon-Transforming Beast’s eyes gleamed. “I see! Master always has the best ideas. I will inform the Bone Eroding Beasts now.”

The man hummed. The corners of his lips curled upward, a hint of deviousness glittering in his eyes. “It is time for this mankind-dominated world to come to an end...”

Pitter-patter.

The raindrops from the night rain fell upon the wide leaves in the foliage.

When Helian Wei Wei woke up, she tugged subconsciously at her restrained left hand. Then, her eyes fell on the man lying beside her, and at the same time, she realized that someone had changed her clothes. Her stomach was no longer aching, which gave her an indescribable feeling of comfort.

She had taken a very long nap.

She licked her chapped lips, wishing that she had some water to drink.

Baili Jia Jue woke up when she was still in her thoughts. He glanced at her, then reached out and picked up a porcelain cup which he moved to her mouth.

“Drink it.”

His tone was no different than talking to a pet.

Helian Wei Wei continued to ponder for a while. Then, she unlocked her restraints with a flick of her fingers. Under Baili Jia Jue slightly chilly stare, she started to drink the water that he had offered to her.

After draining the cup, she returned her wrists back to their original positions and secured the restraints around them, as obedient as a well-trained dog.

As expected, the Third Prince was very satisfied with her behavior. His hand carded soothingly through her long hair as a reward. Then, he wrapped his arms around her and closed his eyes.

It was hard to describe how Helian Wei Wei felt right now.

However, Yuan Ming chose this moment to butt his head in, his mischievous voice echoing in her head, “He kinda likes you anyway, so let’s jump his bones right now. What could possibly be more important than strengthening yourself? Such a stupid woman.”

“Shut up,” Helian Wei Wei only gave him two words.

Yuan Ming curled his lips lazily as he drawled, “If you don’t jump him now, you’d still end up doing it eight days later. Why hesitate when you can get things over with as soon as possible?”

“Do you want me to toss you into a fire, hmm?” Helian Wei Wei threatened.

Yuan Ming snorted, “Alright, alright, I’ll stop talking. Eight days, remember, eight days.”

Helian Wei Wei felt a headache roar to life at that reminder. When she severed her mental connection with Yuan Ming, she lifted her eyes to see that Baili Jia Jue was gazing at her. His soft-looking lips curved into a smirk. “If you’re always this obedient, then I wouldn’t need to get mad at all.”

Did tying herself up count as being obedient?

“Sigh...”

Of course his mind would work peculiarly like this.

Right at that moment, Helian Weiwei felt an urge to use the toilet. She unlocked her cuffs, slipped away to do her business, and cuffed herself back onto the bed after she was done. Her movements were well-practiced, quick and efficient.

When the Little Seventh Prince came over, he was baffled by what he saw. He had never seen anyone who would lock herself up willingly before.

He turned to Baili Jiajue and asked on reflex, “Third Brother, what’s the matter with Third Aunt?”

“Your Third Aunt likes roleplaying,” replied Baili Jiajue calmly. His tone was even, as if he was just stating a simple fact. He crossed his legs lazily and curved his arms behind his head.

Thanks to the special education that he had received from his Third Brother, the Little Seventh Prince knew very well what ‘roleplaying’ meant. Therefore, he gave Helian Wei Wei an indecipherable look and mused, “So Third Aunt is into that kind of thing.”

Helian Wei Wei’s thoughts were as follows: Excuse me! Who is the one here who’s actually into roleplaying?

“Yeah,” Baili Jia Jue replied on her behalf.

The Little Seventh Prince tilted his head in consideration. Then, he continued abruptly, “Sorry to interrupt, but I want to have snake meat. There’s a snake head at the door, I lugged it all the way here because I was hoping that Third Aunt would grill it for me.”

“Is your Third Aunt your personal chef?” Baili Jia Jue admonished as he gave his wayward younger sibling a stern look. “Also, snake meat isn’t for everyone, I heard that only pigs would like it.”

The Little Seventh Prince, being the simpleton that he was, hesitated before he confessed, “I did try to feed the snake head to the pigs just now, but they wouldn’t eat it. They kept trembling for some reason.”

“Why did you try to feed it to the pigs?” Baili Jia Jue arched an elegant brow.

The Little Seventh Prince nodded assertively as he said, “To fatten them up for supper!”

“The pigs would never eat anything that you feed them, because they had already seen through your motives,” Baili Jia Jue said as he picked some lint off his sleeves.

The Little Seventh Prince wrinkled his thick tiger-like brows. “Is that so? Then I shall hide in a corner and feed them stealthily from there. They wouldn’t know where the food is coming from.”

Helian Wei Wei was speechless. Who knew that His Highness spends his free time swindling gullible little kids? The pigs were clearly afraid of the snake head, what he said about them seeing through the Seven Prince’s intentions was complete horseshit. How shameless.

“Then, can I ask Third Aunt cook the snake for me to eat first? I’ll feed the pigs with the leftovers.”

Baili Jia Jue had clearly underestimated his own brother’s passion for food.

He gave the tiny child another look. “Alright.”

After getting Baili Jia Jue’s approval, the little tyke was overjoyed. He scuttled over to the snake head on his stubby legs, about to drag it into the compound.

However, Baili Jia Jue was not finished. “Before that though, you have to perform a little dance.”

Upon hearing that, the child froze, his hands moving instinctively to cup his buttocks. The action was so cute that even Helian Wei Wei emitted an amused chuckle.

“It’s okay, you don’t need to dance. There’s just one thing though, the snake is a magical beast, right? Would it affect our bodies if we eat it?” Helian Wei Wei knew that if it was a mythological beast, then ingesting it could be harmful for everyone except those who practice the dark arts, who would be nourished by it instead. On the other hand, if it was a magical beast, would it be even more harmful to the regular person?

The tiny one pulled a face, exclaiming, “I can eat everything!”

Helian Wei Wei slapped her forehead in exasperation. “I know that you are a food connoisseur, but are you sure that it’s okay?” She had never doubted Little Seven’s eating ability, she was just worried about the consequences of it.

“It’s okay,” Baili Jia Jue finally voiced up to reassure her. His tone was calm as he continued, “He can digest everything he eats.”

Helian Wei Wei’s mouth twitched. “What is his stomach made of?”

Baili Jia Jue remained suspiciously silent.

The tiny one pulled a meat bun from his pocket. “I’ll use this as an appetizer first.” While munching on it, he seemed to have thought of something. He turned to Helian Wei Wei and said feistily, “Right, when the Dean gave me this meat bun, he actually wanted me to tell Third Aunt that he will announce the contents of the third test soon.”

“You should have said this first.” For the first time in her life, Helian Wei Wei felt defeated.

However, where did the cuffs on her wrists go?

Helian Wei Wei glanced at Baili Jia Jue. “I’ll be back in a moment.”

Baili Jia Jue’s eyes were frosty. He did not voice his agreement.

Helian Wei Wei smiled. He gave off the vibe of a noble yet languid Persian Cat. If she stroked his fur the right way, everything would be fine.

So, she turned her face, her lips curling gently before she bestowed a soft kiss on his forehead.

Baili Jia Jue’s fingers stiffened. Before he could react, the person next to him had already disappeared.

Of course Helian Wei Wei would not stick around any longer. She hurried toward the Underground Palace with the Little Seventh Prince safely in her arms.

Baili Jia Jue furrowed his brows. Then, he lifted himself off the bed, his long fingers ghosting across the spot where Helian Wei Wei’s lips had touched just now.
