Chapter 333 - His Highness Likes Her? (2/2)

“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 a.s.sertively 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 horses.h.i.+t. 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 pa.s.sion 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 b.u.t.tocks. 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 rea.s.sure 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 n.o.ble 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.
