Chapter 759 - Mistaken For The Phoenix Girl (1/2)

“Those are carrion insects, don’t touch them. Once you touch them, you can’t get rid of them.” Old Li spoke in a low voice, making others feel the heaviness in his tone.

The exorcists stayed silent once again.

Ni Feng, the Eldest Young Lady of the Ni family who remained quiet all the time expressed her thoughts at this moment in a tender voice, “Old Li, are you referring to corpse bugs?”

“That’s right.” Old Li turned his head, looking as though he ran into a silver lining. “I can’t believe Young Lady Ni knew about the corpse bugs as well. You are indeed knowledgeable!”

Ni Feng smiled gently, the translucent white silk covering her face revealed an apparent beauty essence of a celestial being. “It’s nothing. As an exorcist, it’s common knowledge.”

Old Li knew that she was acting humble. Judging from the reaction of the exorcists around him, he could tell that the usual graveyard would not have corpse bugs due to two reasons, one was because the tomb was not dug deep enough and second, the timespan was not long enough.

It is unusual for her to know about this as only the frequent tomb raiders would get a chance to come in contact with corpse bugs directly.

Old Li dismissed the suspicious thoughts he had in his mind earlier.

It was probably due to the fact that he had robbed too many tombs, causing him to have a false perception.

The real reincarnation of Phoenix Girl was standing right before him, yet he still felt that the young man with fine and pure chiseled features was more alike the benefactor that appeared in his dream.

This…must be due to the signs of aging, causing his brain to be muddled up.

Old Li shook his head, not responding further. He stepped forward and lifted up the torch in his hand to illuminate the path in front of them, leaving behind a group of exorcists admiring Ni Feng.

“You deserve to be called the Phoenix Girl. You even know about this. If you manage to seize the Sarira this time, our team will give in willingly. Even if we end up being defeated by Young Lady Ni, we will still consider this a worthwhile trip.”

Upon witnessing the scene, Ni Hu who was looking pale showed a smile on his face immediately, feeling smug, with the tip of his eyebrows betraying him. He sneaked a peek at Helian Wei Wei and others before speaking leisurely, “My sister is knowledgeable but keeps a low profile. Unlike some other people here, who only know a little but keep showing off. Perhaps they are only good at talking but would be scared to death later when we really face a situation. Just like these corpse bugs, maybe some people are still having a headache, thinking of how to get rid of them.”

Everyone could tell who he meant based on his words.

The exorcists had to admit that Ni Hu made a point with his statement. After all, the incident just now was due to the environmental factors of the ancient tomb, allowing Zhuge Yun’s team to appear smarter in front of others. In actual fact, no one had ever witnessed them showing their abilities.

However, Helian Wei Wei’s team did not seem to be bothered by Ni Hu’s insults, especially His Highness. His field of vision could only occupy Helian Wei Wei and her alone. As for the other human beings, they were only dispensable food, even their souls did not even intrigue him to ruin them for they did not smell good.

Helian Wei Wei could not understand the reason why the facial expression of His Highness was similar to that of a picky cat. His appearance had a dignified aura surrounding him that spoke of elegance and arrogance, appearing like the younger him, the little and adorable His Highness. She felt the urge to carry him in her hands and pinch his face.

Helian Wei Wei did as she thought.

Baili Jia Jue was baffled with her pinching him. He raised his eyebrows slightly, exposing his devilishness. “It seems like you want me to help you cut your claws again, don’t you?”

Helian Wei Wei’s bright yet clear eyes carried a hint of a playful smile. “No, I feel like kissing you but we are surrounded by the crowd.” As she was aware that His Highness disliked being watched by others, thus, she was not worried about a ‘sneak attack’ by him. Therefore, she would have to make good use of the chance to flirt wantonly.

“You seem to be very pleased?” Baili Jia Jue showed a smile on his face, his deep voice emanated a hint of s.e.xiness.

“Uh-huh.” Helian Wei Wei continued to move forward in a pleasant mood, a.s.suming that His Highness would not get an opportunity to do anything to her. This retrieved her fond memory of teasing the little His Highness back then.

Baili Jia Jue did not stop her, he only bent his body a little. From the side angle, it looked perfectly fine but in fact, he was already very close to Helian Wei Wei. His long and thick eyelashes formed a shadow following his movements, filled with enchantment. “Just you wait. Wait till there is no one, by then I will fulfill your wish.”

Helian Wei Wei’s body stiffened.
