Chapter 872 (1/2)

“Not in the palace? Where are you going?” Baili Jia Jue’s voice was very cold.

Helian Wei Wei paused for a moment and smiled naturally, “I can’t bring the babies along to activities like training a soldier or praying, right?”

Only then that Baili Jia Jue’s gaze regained its warmth. He tilted her head to his side and laid a kiss on her black hair, with a peculiar gentleness between his brows he said, “There are so many people in the palace. They’ll take care of these two little brats.”

“I don’t want the babysitter to look after them. I want to bring them up by myself,” Helian Wei Wei continued with a chuckle, her hand then clenched to his hand.

There was always nothing Baili Jia Jue could do against her, so of course he would agree to everything she said.

So, both of them sat on the bed and began reading about the rules of parenting.

His Highness sneered while reading, “Kids are indeed troublesome creatures.”

“Didn’t you grow up from a kid?” Helian Wei Wei listened amusingly, “They’re too little. So they need adults to look after them.”

Baili Jia Jue followed her hand and set his eyes on her belly that was as round as a ball now, “Believe me, these two brats of ours can still live well without any parenting.”

Helian Wei Wei was a.s.sured of this too. There were probably no other babies who were so domineering as hers in the whole world. They had yet to be born, but they had almost finished eating the dead souls within hundreds of miles around them.

Last time, as she saw several ghosts floating back and forth outside the palace, she was still wondering why these dead souls would dare to wander around here.

Then, according to His Highness, those were all caught by their babies to play with.

Treating ghosts as toys, uh… Helian Wei Wei had always felt that her babies had been guided wrongly without her realizing it.

However, Helian Wei Wei was glad that Baili Jia Jue’s att.i.tude toward the babies was changing eventually from day to day.

Maybe even he himself did not realize that his expression while rubbing her stomach to promote digestion was getting more and more gentle.

Of course, he was still very impatient, as if he was born to be the rival of the babies. Every time her stomach moved, he would sneer at the side.

Nevertheless, Helian Wei Wei felt that this was good.

This unique way of father-child communication was really good.

The palace was as lively as ever, except that the smart Baili Jia Jue was playing with a teacup in his hand with a cold gaze, “Where else did the Lady go today besides the Hidden Spirit Temple?”

According to the laws, mercenaries of the hidden army should only listen to the orders of their master.

But this man was so good that he could not hide anything from him.

“Not talking, huh?” Baili Jia Jue chuckled and paced toward the mercenary, “I’ve once said that the hidden army can only be here with my permission. If my mood somehow turns bad, do you think you can still wander around the palace like this?”

Of course the mercenary knew the capability of this man. He thought about it and said, “Your Highness, the Lady has indeed been in the Hidden Spirit Temple today, but the Lady was also looking for a person earlier. We have sent someone to search for him but he was nowhere to be found. So she has withdrawn the order.”

“Who is this person?” Baili Jia Jue twirled the black jade ring on his finger.

The mercenary could clearly feel the chill emanating from him, “The hidden army is unsure of the details as well. The Lady mentioned only that his surname was Pei, without stating his age and appearance, nor did she say why she was searching for him.”

“Pei?” Baili Jia Jue stopped his finger and refrained from asking further. With his eyes as deep as the night outside the house, “She is about to wake up, do not tell her that we had this talk.”

The mercenary looked down and obeyed, “Yes.”

Baili Jia Jue retracted his gaze and put on his black cloak before he went back to his royal chamber.

The person on his bed was still sleeping. With her waist-length black hair laid on the soft quilt, she certainly looked lovely when she was asleep.
