Helian Wei Wei fell to the ground. She saw that the old man looked like a candle that was going to burn out, completely exhausted and frail.
"The Fox Valley is about to close, you must leave as soon as possible. As you possess my spiritual energy, your journey will be a lot easier along the way. Once you have come out of the valley, walk towards the end of the cave. Keep walking to the end and you will reach the Capital. Old monk only hopes that you can make it in time."
After the old man had finished speaking, his head bowed down and his body appeared like it was dehydrated of water and turned into shining white powder. All that was left of him was a glowing buddhist bone relic.
"Take the relic."
Unexpectedly at this point, Yuan Ming made a noise in the Celestial Boundary Spatial Space.
Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows: "What happened to you earlier?"
"The one who just died was the only surviving eminent monk over a hundred years old. With my current ability, to encounter such an eminent monk, I can only hide in the Celestial Boundary Spatial Space, otherwise, I would have only brought danger to you." Yuan Ming explained:" Now that he has gone, leaving you his last gift, this relic. Eminent monk's relic is even more precious than any elixir. After you have eaten it, your martial qi will definitely improve vastly."
Helian Wei Wei's voice was faint:" No, I won't eat it."
"Woman, you are so strange. You obviously like to use unscrupulous methods to get things done, and yet you insist against some inexplicable things." Yuan Ming's lips twitched with evil angst.
Helian Wei Wei stooped down to pick up the relic and put it on her body: "Come on, let's find our way out."
Two people walked along in the darkness. Fortunately both of them were well skilled, or they would not have been able to walk out of Fox Valley in just one short hour. However, just because they had walked out of Fox Valley did not mean things had come to an end. They still had a long long way ahead of them to walk. If they continued on this path it would become very dark. The old man had said that this path will lead them to the Capital, but he did not say where exactly.
The hole seemed to go on forever, it was so dark that you could not even see your own fingers. The surrounding was full of unknown plants and strange stones that were unusually terrifying. They looked like the face of a demon, the fangs of a blood wolf and the broken bones of a sacred demon. The corners and edges of these stones were mostly uneven, and it could be said that these stones were thorny, stone thorns!
The clothes that Helian Wei Wei had walked in with were ripped to shreds by the sharp stones. She did not care and only held onto Baili Jiajue's hand and continued to walk ahead, afraid that he would be cut.
But the sound had awoken some kind of nighttime creatures, the sound of wings flapped, the blood red dots moved excitedly. They had smelled the sweetness of the blood, they had been quiet for so long that they now began to feel exhilarated. A pair of blood red eyes stared at the intruders, ready to pounce onto them to suck their blood dry.
It was a vampire bat!
Helian Wei Wei squinted, a silver knife appeared in her hand, ready to fight: "Stand behind me."
"Okay." Baili Jiajue took a step back. He did not look down, but instead he stared deeply at the young girl in front of him. A hint of playfulness appeared in his smile and there was a sudden glimpse of bright light. The surroundings had not affected his darkness and coldness. The white shirt and green robes looked black at this time, wrapped around his perfectly slender figure, which made him look taller and thrilling.
His tall perfect figure held the top of the hole, his ice cold handsome face could not see anger, a pair of eyes cold as night, devoid of feelings, attracted the attention of the vampire bats. His narrow eyes through the white cloth revealed and irresistable gloom, seemingly wild and unconstrained, full of evil.
The vampire bats appeared to have sensed something and suddenly calmed down, reluctantly to approach....
While Helian Wei Wei was still pondering, Baili Jiajue spoke: "Was it the spiritual energy that the old monk passed to you that had an effect, that's why they didn't dare make a move?"
"Probably..." Helian Wei Wei was skeptical, the spiritual energy had such an effect?
Baili Jiajue's voice was faint: "So let's go quickly, otherwise what if all the spiritual energy disappears?"
"Okay." Helian Wei Wei's fingers tightened and walked forwards: "We have to go quickly. If I don't make it to tomorrow's marital qi competition, a certain Highness will kill me."
Baili Jiajue was stunned, his eyebrows raised: "Kill you? Why?"
"We have an arrangement between us." Helian Wei Wei thought for a moment: "I have to win first place in the martial qi competition."
Baili Jiajue chuckled: "Don't tell me you want to marry him."
One of Helian Wei Wei's foot slipped.
"I guessed correctly." Baili Jiajue continued talking as he walked: "It is not bad marrying him. Doesn't everyone say that he is the number one man in the Capital?"
Helian Wei Wei thought it was weird that her partner actually gave a compliment.
"Well, I don't want to marry him for that." As there was no one else here, Helian Wei Wei had reservations about what she said. Besides, talking kept them awake and they wouldn't fall asleep. The walk through the cave was very long, they had to talk about something so it wasn't boring.
Baili Jiajue's eyes closed: "Then why do you want to marry him?"
"Well." Helian Wei Wei avoided the vampire bats in front: "You don't need to know this."
A moment passed.
Baili Jiajue's face was cold and his voice slow: "You're not afraid that Third Prince will think that you are marrying him for something else?"
"He knew it from the beginning." Helian Wei Wei did not turn back: "Besides, he has his own plans for marrying me."
"Oh?" He wanted to hear what she thought he was marrying her for.
Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows: "Have you forgotten? I told you before that I think Third Prince likes men. Of course, I can't be sure, but he is in a situation where he needs a wife for convenience."
"To use you as a convenience of marriage?" The ridicule in Baili Jiajue's tone was obvious.
Helian Wei Wei heard the ridicule in his voice: "Don't belittle me, I am also very bossy."
"What about the consummation of the night of the marriage?" Baili Jiajue asked casually.
Helian Wei Wei pursed her lips: "The marriage is a contract, surely there won't be a consummation night. I doubt that the Third Prince will have much feelings before he has a drink. He just looked like a big ice cube from top to bottom."
"I think Third Prince will find what you have said very interesting." No feelings for anyone? A big ice cube?
Oh, good, very good.
He must give her a "night to remember". A fulfilling consummation night of marriage!
