Chapter 729 - In Search Of The Sarira (2/2)

Helian Wei Wei thought to herself… Does he really need to insult her every single time?

Wait a minute, isn’t I supposed to be the one comforting him?

Why does it sound like he’s rea.s.suring her now? How did the tables turn on me?

“We’ll begin our journey to the tomb tomorrow.” The man’s low and steady voice sounded above her head again, it was both seductive and pleasant, saying, “Don’t wander around there, understand?”

“Yeah, yeah, I know,” Helian Wei Wei replied lazily, as she muttered in her heart. Were we not always together? Where else can I go?

Baili Jia Jue pulled her closer, perhaps to dispel the uneasiness that was brought by the Son of the King of h.e.l.l’s remarks…

Darkness began to fall outside the palace.

The twins in Helian Wei Wei’s abdomen plummeted into deep silence.

Moments later, the smaller fetus moved his hand and said, “Brother, if you stop channeling spiritual aura to me, we would be less of a burden to Mother.”

The bigger fetus did not respond. The crimson in his eyes resembled streaming blood, as he remained uncharacteristically silent.

“Brother.” The smaller fetus struggled to pull him into a hug, and continued calmly, “It’ll be alright. It’s as you said, with Father around, everything can be resolved.”

The bigger fetus s.h.i.+fted and eventually spoke in a somber tone, “You heard that person from earlier too, didn’t you? I’ve been feeding on the aura of resentment all this time, yet what you needed was spiritual energy. It’s obvious that I’m the rotten one. Soon, when the aura of resentment builds up, I’ll lose my mind and attack Mother.”

“Brother, you’re not rotten,” the smaller fetus said firmly, although he was very weak. “You said that you’d bring me out of here with you and we would play together. Without you, I’d be bullied by others, so don’t worry too much. We are definitely going out together.”

The bigger fetus’ eyes darkened. He rested his forehead on his younger twin and hissed coldly, “I’ll suck all those who dare bully you dry!”

“Yeah.” The younger twin plunged into silence for a brief moment. Then, he moved his tiny hands and began releasing all the spiritual aura he had previously absorbed to cancel out the evil Qi radiating off the bigger fetus…

The palace had always been exceptionally efficient, especially the Jiuchong Hall. Under normal circ.u.mstances, Baili Jia Jue should not travel far during such times.

The ministers were expecting him to take the throne soon, so they had prepared a mountain of edicts.

Helian Wei Wei initially thought that it would take them several days before they could depart for their trip, as she expected that the ministers would stop them from leaving.

However, His Highness merely said, “To prevent the destruction of the Divine Exorcism Seal, we must retrieve the Sarira. It’s best if I do it.”

Not only did they not suspect Helian Wei Wei, they felt so touched that they were stunned. Hence, everyone in the palace fervently lauded the Third Prince’s wisdom…
