Chapter 688 - Helian Wei Wei And His Highness Joining Forces (2/2)

After obtaining the information she wanted, Helian Wei Wei turned to look at Baili Jia Jue.

His Highness stood erectly with an emotionless expression throughout the entire exchange between Helian Wei Wei and the madam.

Nevertheless, his charm was enough to make anyone who stood close to him go red.

And, Yan Liu’er was one of them. “Young master, would you some tea?”

At that very moment, something scuttled past Yan Liu’er’s feet. Frightened, she screamed as she leaned toward Baili Jia Jue without even looking at it. “Something’s there. Something’s there!”

All of a sudden, black fogs rose in the breezeless dark sky, and Baili Jia Jue seemed to a.s.similate into the dark. His brutal and cold gaze laid on the little hand that was placed on his arm, and the disdain on his grin was replaced by menace that made one shudder.

Yan Liu’er realized her acts were inappropriate and she became more bashful. However, she failed to notice the bloodthirstiness that was painted across the man’s eyes.

Helian Wei Wei knew His Highness too well. She held Baili Jia Jue’s arm and said in a m.u.f.fled tone, “She did not mean it.”

Baili Jia Jue was still wearing his callous look, but the ruthlessness in his eyes were gone. He removed his robe with one hand and tossed it to the ground nonchalantly.

Embarra.s.sed by her action, Yan Liu’er stuttered, “I didn’t mean that. I sensed that something was scurrying past my feet just now. That was why I…”

“Liu’er, are you alright?” Liu’er’s mother asked, appearing perturbed.

Yan Liu’er shook her head and she looked at her feet. Then, she rubbed her arms, “It was a rat. Why is there a rat at this hour? Besides, why isn’t it afraid of humans?”

Helian Wei Wei’s eyes opened. Indeed, there should be little rats on the street during this season. It is winter. Are the rats not afraid of cold? Can it be the same as what happened back at the Green Dragon Lake? Is the aura of resentment strong enough to force the rats out? No, it can’t be. His Highness would have noticed if the aura of resentment is lingering in the air.

Apparently, His Highness had detected nothing.

“These rats are abnormal.”

It had been a long time since she used her consciousness stream to communicate with others.

Now, she heard His Highness’ deep and fruity voice.

Helian Wei Wei felt herself missing Yuan Ming who would only snicker.

“Missing Yuan Ming? Hmm?” The raised tone resounded within her consciousness.

Helian Wei Wei firmly denied, “Not at all.”

Baili Jia Jue threw a glimpse at her.

Immediately, Helian Wei Wei changed the topic, “Why are these rats abnormal?”

“They have no soul…”
