"Looks like you did not plan on participating in the selection for a Queen." Baili Jia Jue coldly retracted his hand. Then, he stood up, his movements elegant and graceful as always... But it was also so cold and indifferent that nobody would dare to approach him.
Helian Wei Wei was afraid that he would leave, so she subconsciously grabbed his sleeves and tried to explain, "That's not true."
"If that's not the case, " said Baili Jia Jue as his slender figure stood straight. The dim light shadowed all the expressions on his face, "Then put on the crown first."
He thought that his little prey would follow what he had just said.
Because she was always obedient.
However, Helian Wei Wei did not move. Clasping her hands together tightly, she rejected him for the first time, "Sorry, I can't."
In the dark shadows, Baili Jia Jue stood at the same place. With his elegant posture, straightened back, and a head that never lowered, the fingers in black glove went slightly stiff, and the smile on the corners of his mouth disappeared.
Even the devil's elegant disguise had disappeared completely, with only iciness remaining.
"Master!" Qilin and Green Dragon greeted from outside, reporting excitedly, "We already know the wedding customs in the human world. It seems like big red gowns have to be worn, peanuts and red dates would be spread out on the bed, and the sedan chair would be carried in..."
They stopped as Green Dragon and Qilin were stunned, not because of others, but because of their master's pair of unusual red eyes. How long has it been since they had seen their master with this look?
Unfortunately, Baili Jia Jue did not notice anything different. Instead, he smiled wickedly and asked, "Why did you stop? Hm?"
Green Dragon was stunned, and lowered down it's head.
Baili Jia Jue calmed down the tumbling in his chest.
10 years or perhaps 100 years ago.
He would have never treated human beings as patiently as he did today.
What he favoured the most was to tear their 'shells' with his black fingertips while enjoying the burning hot fresh blood.
Only during that moment, he would feel warmth.
Finally someone had appeared, making him feel that life was not a bore.
But obviously, this person did not want to stay.
How 'hilarious'...
"Hmph." Baili Jia Jue smiled coldly as a ray of devilish red light emerged from under his eyes.
Helian Wei Wei looked at the crown lying on the ground and furrowed her brows. Did she make things even worse?
In the following three days, Baili Jia Jue never showed his face, but it was clear that her quality of life became better.
The Pandemonium was also decorating, and bright lights were everywhere.
During this period, only Green Dragon came to the Pandemonium. It spoke with light voice, but it expressed its meaning clearly, "The Demon Queen's crown is handmade by the Demon King. This is a tradition followed by every reigning Demon King."
Helian Wei Wei instantly felt a jolt in her heart. She glanced at the crown which was clearly broken, closed her eyes to think and finally made a difficult decision!
At that moment, Baili Jia Jue was occupied by the issue of a traitor, because someone tried to escape from prison.
The prison in the demon world was indestructible as ever, so those who tried to escape would certainly suffer the consequences of their actions.
Baili Jia Jue paced over steadily. Looking down at the man in black being pressed on the ground by a magical beast, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I am going to give you two choices. The first one is to tell me who is your mole in the Pandemonium, and I will send you back to the human world. The second one is if you remain quiet, I will ensure that you suffer miserably."
The man in black never thought of escaping, but he got a little anxious as there was no news from the Divine Exorcism Seal. Now, he can only execute the second plan in order to get out of here!
He squinted, enduring the pain in his voice and said, "Previously when the magical beasts passed by the Exorcist Temple, they had once picked up a lady. Rather than saying that she is my mole, her main mission is to bring you to the human world."
Baili Jia Jue smiled, it was just that the smile was not as deep into the eyes, "Did you think that I would believe you if you say so? She is merely a normal human being, not someone from the Exorcist Temple."
"It is true that she is not from our Exorcist Temple, but she had always admired Senior Jing, and was willing to do anything for Exorcist Temple because Senior Jing once said that as long as she is able to protect the offerings chosen by you and bring you to the human world, then he would take her as his wife." The man in black pressed his arm painfully, but couldn't resist Baili Jia Jue's piercing gaze.
Baili Jia Jue looked at the tall trees not far away. Without raising his head, he faintly spoke, "Even if I am being lead to the human world, all of you from the Exorcist Temple still cannot do anything to me."
"It was true previously, but we heard news saying that your Sky-swallowing Beast is in the process of undergoing Heavenly Tribulation and will not appear recently. As you will be unable to gather all your grand mythical beasts, your supernatural power would obviously weaken as well..."
Baili Jia Jue did not want to continue listening. He faked a smile by curling up the corners of his mouth, though it carried with it a sense of ridicule, "I see."
No wonder she did not want to be his Queen, and the reason why she kept on wanting to bring him to the human world.
She had even asked about the news of the Sky-swallowing Beast.
It turned out that all of these were just because she admired another man.
Hmph!
How stupid are humans' affections.
As Baili Jia Jue smiled, his fingers hidden under his sleeve involuntarily tightened into a fist until his joints had turned pale.
Fire Qilin exclaimed while standing beside him, "Master, your hand!"
Baili Jia Jue followed it's sight and looked over. As if he did not see his fingers which were bleeding, with an indifferent and cold expression, he commanded calmly without any trace of emotion in his tone, "Kill him."
"You!" The eyes of the man in black trembled, "You said you would release me if I confessed!"
Baili Jia Jue placed his fingers on his lips, licking away the blood stained on it. His actions were so evil that it was as if he was Satan emerging from the darkness. He replied, "You even believed what was said by a demon. I am so annoyed by your stupidity."
Swish!
Fresh blood dripped like blooming petals.
Baili Jia Jue walked on the blood-stained pathway, and stepped into the Hall of Light which he avoided for the past few days. The elegant black shadow looked particularly dazzling in the sea of roses.
Helian Wei Wei was thinking on what excuses she could use to meet Baili Jia Jue, but now that she saw his sudden appearance in front of her, she felt relieved. She then strode over and held his hand.
Unexpectedly, the man did not even look at her. Upon withdrawing his arm and clenching his teeth, he exhaled a cold breath though he still had a seducing smile on his face, "Do you really want me to follow you to the human world?"
Helian Wei Wei looked at her hand that was being swung away, and nodded subconsciously.
"Good, very good." Baili Jia Jue curved his thin lips, but the smile froze at the bottom of his eyes. He turned and instructed the magical beast that stood beside him, "Come, send Miss Wei Wei out of the magical realm."
