Chapter 597: The Second Soul Fragment

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

The weather was freezing cold, so cold that even her puffs of breath were visible. The landscape was engulfed by winter, blanketed by a vast white expanse.

Helian Wei Wei was standing in the middle of it all, feeling slightly disoriented. Is this… the imperial palace?

Snowflakes spiralled down gracefully around her, dancing in the north wind, alighting on the marble stairs like blooming dandelions. Palace maids and eunuchs could be seen walking to and fro in the palace.

It was indeed the imperial palace.

But the question was, why was she here?

Did she return to her original world?

No, that’s impossible!

According to Fire Qilin, after collecting a Soul Fragment, she would proceed to the location of the next Soul Fragment.

Helian Wei Wei glanced down at the tiara in her hand and tightened her grip. She could still remember that person’s silhouette when he last turned around.

Let things happen according to how they went…

Helian Wei Wei perfectly understood the reasoning behind that sentence. However, it was because she understood it so well that her heart ached, making her feel awful.

She clenched her fingers, trying to suppress her emotions. When she looked back up, her gaze was crystal clear once again.

Since this is where the second Soul Fragment is located, Baili Jia Jue should be somewhere around here, right?

But in which part of the imperial palace can I find him?

Also, why is it so silent?

She had been to the Cold Palace, it was nothing like this.

However, apart from the Cold Palace, what other palace would have so few palace maids like this one?

Helian Wei Wei took one step forward, and pushed open a random door. A blinding beam of light shone onto her face right away.

Subconsciously, Helian Wei Wei raised her hand to s.h.i.+eld her eyes.

She looked toward her left, which was the direction of the light source.

She squinted carefully, as her eyes were still not used to the brightness.

However, all she could see was a silhouette standing amidst the shower of golden light.

The silhouette was pet.i.te.

Therefore, Helian Wei Wei initially thought that it was Little Seven.

Unexpectedly, when the silhouette came closer, she realized that it was not Little Seven.

That person was dressed in black robes, in addition to a heavy-looking cloak which was wrapped around his shoulders.

If this type of cloak was to be worn by other kids, it would only look out of place, but it looked oddly befitting on this boy.

His striking brows and eyes looked like they could slash through the night. His eyes were neither cold nor disdainful, just emotionless.

He seemed detached, yet giving off the undeniable vibe of a commander.

Blood seeped out in between the boy’s fingers. However, it seemed like he was not aware of it, as he walked forward stiffly until he noticed Helian Wei Wei. His calm eyes suddenly turned freezing cold.
