As such, the Pandemonium had encountered the weirdest day ever. What really shocked them was that the King, who had not been interested in anything in 1, 000 years, actually locked a human in his most commonly used cage!
This was definitely a big thing!
Meanwhile, Xiao Kui who thought of herself as good-looking kowtowed for not less than 10 times, only to be qualified to accompany the lady in pink instead of being consumed by the devil.
She always felt that all these were brought upon her by the woman who came from an unknown place!
Otherwise, how could the King not fall for her with her beauty!
Xiao Kui was getting angrier as she thought of this. When she came in front of the lady in pink, she said indignantly, "Sister Ni, you will never know how shameless the woman is. She actually kissed the King in front of so many people! Such a woman should be drowned in a pig cage alive!"
"She kissed him?" The lady in pink was stunned and she looked lost, "He let her kiss him?"
Xiao Kui snorted coldly, "It was all because of that shameless woman! But Sister Ni, don't worry. His Highness has ordered someone to lock her up in a cage and is about to torture her slowly."
"Locked in a cage?" As the lady in pink listened to this, she frowned, "Will she be in danger?"
Xiao Kui was unconcerned, "Sister Ni, you're just too kind. Don't care about her. She reaped what she sowed. Sister Ni, you're the youngest exorcist and this time, the King found you in the human world because you're out of the ordinary. After all, we can't even ensure our own safety in the Pandemonium, so it is better not to worry about others."
"What you've said is right." The lady in pink sighed, "It all depends on her luck now... '
It was night time deep inside the Pandemonium.
With a bang, Fire Qilin pushed the iron cage open, looked at Helian Wei Wei and said, "Lady Wei Wei, you will stay here from now on. The King likes to be clean, so he dislikes having a pet with an odd smell. There's a bathroom beside you. Before going to bed every day, I will have someone release you and serve you while you bathe. Now, let the people take you for a bath."
Helian Wei Wei did not refuse. Even though she desperately wanted to bring Baili Jia Jue back, she knew that in such a situation, Baili Jia Jue would not have the patience to listen to her.
After all, the present him did not recognize her.
Helian Wei Wei did not forget the way he looked at her in the Great Hall, his gaze was filled with coldness as if to a stranger. Although it was a little playful, the previous sense of familiarity and gentleness were missing...
As Helian Wei Wei thought of this, she felt pain in her heart but lowered her head and smiled.
"Take it slow." Helian Wei Wei immersed herself in the water in the wooden barrel so that she could calm down.
After her bath, she came out and dried her hair with a towel. Then, she saw the lights lit in the dark hall as if there were slight movements.
Helian Wei Wei gazed from the side of her eyes and saw a man sitting right in the middle of the carved rosewood chair. He was wearing a black robe that was not tied at all, exposing the seductive lines of abs with a pair of long legs overlapping randomly. With a book in his hand, he was reading it with his head down. Beside him on the coffee table, there was a black-colored chain which only made her think that his posture was extremely elegant.
But, what was up with that black chain?
All of a sudden, Helian Wei Wei had a bad feeling.
As soon as Baili Jia Jue heard sounds of movement, he had already put away the book in his hand and raised his gaze to look at Helian Wei Wei.
It was still the same face, with fair skin and an elegant appearance, but it was more evil than she remembered. In his eyes, there was some sort of indifference... like he was unhappy.
He took a glance at her. Helian Wei Wei thought he was about to say something, but he lowered his head again and played with the black chain.
Helian Wei Wei looked at his face and it obviously showed that any stranger was prohibited to go near him.
But Baili Jia Jue suddenly said with a bloodthirsty smile at the corner of his mouth while staring at her with a pair of sharp eyes, "You're not from the Exorcist Temple, right?"
"Yes." Helian Wei Wei did not intend to conceal this information from him. No matter what kind of personalities this man had, his inhuman intelligence would never change. She might as well be honest with him, "I was brought by your magical beast. As for the Exorcist Temple, I have never even heard of it." As she talked, she pointed at the black chain, "Are you using that to lock me up?"
Baili Jia Jue's eyes were still staring at her, but there was a very... gentle smile within, "Do you like it?"
The corner of Helian Wei Wei's mouth twitched, "I don't think any human would like that."
"This chain is indeed not good enough." Baili Jia Jue's eyes were indifferent, "It is normal if you dislike it. I will ask Fire Qilin to replace another one for you."
Helian Wei Wei, ... Is the material of the chain important? Is it!!! Using the chain to lock me up should be the main point here, hello!
"It's okay. Give it to me. I'll adjust it." After all, Helian Wei Wei was familiar with martial arts. She knew that it was good stuff just by looking at the chain. After she adjusted the chain from left to right, then up and down accordingly, she chained herself on her wrist without waiting for Baili Jia Jue.
As this was out of his expectations, Baili Jia Jue got up and looked at her arrogantly, "Someone who knows how to adjust the chain should also know how to unlock it, right?"
Helian Wei Wei was stunned. This man was too smart, so she simply admitted, "I know a little."
"What a really surprising prey." Baili Jia Jue's evil voice sounded casual, as if he was humming a song.
Just when Helian Wei Wei was still trying to figure out the emotions in his voice, Baili Jia Jue pulled her closer. With his finger on her wrist, he pinched her palm and said mercilessly, "Tell me, should I break your claws just to be safe?"
Helian Wei Wei's heart skipped, then she slowly opened her mouth, "Not that I'm scolding you, but you really should stop having random thoughts of removing people's arms."
"Oh?" Baili Jia Jue sneered and his voice was so low that it made the ears go itchy, "Don't worry. My skill is good and it won't hurt you."
Helian Wei Wei's cheeks reddened. She felt weird with the conversation as he used to say the same thing when he was about to do something with her.
Baili Jia Jue frowned, "Why are you blushing?"
"Nothing." Helian Wei Wei tilted her head.
He let out a shallow, proud smile. With an evil voice, he said, "Are you thinking of something else?"
Helian Wei Wei's face grew hotter, but she was relieved soon after that... With His Highness' emotional quotient, he would never think in that direction.
As expected, Baili Jia Jue opened his mouth again, "Human beings are always timid and afraid of pain. I can understand that."
Helian Wei Wei was really hoping to tell him, what do you know? But seeing His Highness that way, she still found it funny that his emotional quotient was that low...
