Helian Wei Wei supported herself with one hand while her lips which were hidden under her hair slowly curved into a smile.
She did not try to argue with Xiao Kui. She simply dusted off her s.h.i.+rt and wore a faint expression on her face. She was being so quiet that people could ignore her easily.
Xiao Kui was bored of her dull reaction. She turned away and said excitedly, “Sister Ni, we are going to meet the King later, I’m pretty sure that he will definitely ask you to stay! All the concerns of the patriarchs will surely be resolved by then!”
She cast a glance at Helian Wei Wei as she spoke, like she was looking at a servant, “Nonetheless, you have to be careful of someone. She appeared right on time, it is as though she was purposely waiting to make her appearance at the time of wors.h.i.+p. Obviously, she has something in her mind.”
Helian Wei Wei ignored the intentional meaning behind her words and focused on summoning Yuan Ming instead. Fire Qilin was right, it was futile.
Helian Wei Wei did not know much about the Magical Realm and now that Yuan Ming was not with her… She lowered her gaze and pondered while touching the red thread on her wrist with her fingertips.
No matter what happens, this thread cannot be broken…
“Hey, stand right behind me!” Xiao Kui sneered. “Do you know the rules? Do you have any idea that if it wasn’t because of someone requesting to see Sister Ni, you wouldn’t even have the chance to come to the Pandemonium? And yet you’re still dreaming that you will be the chosen one. This is ridiculous! Let me give you a piece of advice. If I were you, I would say something nice to Sister Ni now. Perhaps you may be treated nicely and be given to the King’s subordinates as a reward. Otherwise, just wait and see how miserable you will be later!”
Helian Wei Wei looked at her with a faint expression and said, “Sister Ni is the impressive one here but it is none of your business, isn’t it? I think you are the one who intends to use Sister Ni to climb to the top. Who is your target? The King?”
“You! You!” Xiao Kui was ashamed as Helian Wei Wei exposed her inner thoughts. Indeed, she had planned to do something during this visit but she needed to be friendly with Sister Ni on the surface as well.
Helian Wei Wei did not bother dwelling on this problem with her. What she needed to do right now was to search for a fragment of the prince’s soul.
While she was buried in her thoughts with her head lowered, a red-haired man pushed open the stone door and entered.
The man curled his lips into a smile, emanating a hint of evilness, “The King will surely like the prey this time.”
“Boss, you have good taste.” A magical beast knelt respectfully at the side, “The King has met one of them during his visit to the human world.”
“Bring them in.” The man heaved out a long sigh, “The King has been in a bad mood lately. Remind them to be alert at all times, you know that the King hates it the most when he is touched by others.”
The magical beast answered immediately, “Don’t worry, boss! These three people know the rules very well.”
“Great, follow me.” As his words settled, the stone door seemed to react to his words as it lifted high up.
The true beauty of the Pandemonium was finally revealed at this moment.
The palace was full of stone carvings and completely covered with blooming roses. The palace was a tranquil and serene scene instead of a carnival as they imagined.
The air was filled with delicate fragrance, a simple and pure scent with a heavy fog encircling the palace. The palace was prosperous yet sombre, just like a legendary castle in the ancient days.
Right in the middle of the luxuriant and huge palace hall, a man was sitting on the throne with his legs crossed. He was dressed casually, with a gap opened at the neckline of his robe. A fury cape was hung aside. On his forefinger he wore a black ring. His fingers were long and slender. Looking as if he was bored, he gracefully and elegantly supported one side of his face with one hand.
Everyone was overwhelmed by his indifference, or perhaps by his extremely cold luxuriousness and n.o.bleness. They could not help but maintain a discreet silence. At the same time, they were absent-minded and confused.
