Chapter 1020 - Being Spoiled By His Highness (1/2)
Out of nowhere, a tiny boat appeared on the river.
The river was named the Styx River, it was the river of life in the Underworld. Souls that could not reincarnate drifted like clouds on its surface.
Baili Jia Jue wore a black cloak and stood at the helm of the boat.
He held a bamboo pole silently and looked at Helian Wei Wei who was on the boat. Although her eyes were shut, he could hear her voice.
“What is this place?” she asked.
Baili Jia Jue reached out and smoothed her long hair that had been ruffled by the wind, he then answered with an unprecedented soft tone, “Styx River.”
Then, he gently placed a kiss on her forehead.
Her small face still did not show any sign of consciousness or grief. Her visage was calm and peaceful, the trace of a smile played on her lips.
“It is the place where demons devour souls.” Helian Wei Wei was shrouded in a dark mist and could not see anything. All she could feel was his chilly lips along with his signature coldness as he tried to comfort her.
Helian Wei Wei asked again, “Are you going to eat my soul? I think I can feel them leaving my mortal sh.e.l.l.”
“Shh.” He pressed a finger to her pale lips to keep her silent. “Don’t talk, sleep a little longer. You need to rest.”
Before her deep slumber, Helian Wei Wei heaved a great sigh, “Ok.”
“Good.” He had always spoiled her rotten, and it was no different now even as he was about to devour her.
Baili Jia Jue reached out and cradled Helian Wei Wei in his arms. He had wrapped her with his black cloak to keep her warm so he was now bare-chested. His excellent physique was clear for all to see.
However, Helian Wei Wei did not want to sleep, she still wanted to talk to him.
However, as mentioned by Baili Jia Jue, she did not have the energy to do so.
If it was not for the frigid temperature in Hoh Xil, she would probably have met her death in the snowy glaciers and not survive to this moment.
Helian Wei Wei realized her light of Buddha was weakening. Soon, she would sink into the depths of Styx River, just like the other creatures.
The difference was that the other souls could be reincarnated, but she would disappear forever…
No one knew what Baili Jia Jue wanted to do. The reapers, whose duties were to escort the souls of the deceased, were helpless. They did not know why His Highness suddenly came to the intersection of the Underworld and the Magical Realm. In the past, Baili Jia Jue had always been disdainful of the Underworld. A person like him who suffered from mysophobia would never come to the Underworld which was full of souls of the deceased.
What had happened?
If he was here, those souls of the deceased would not dare to approach, not to mention be able to be reincarnated.
Even the evil spirits which hid under the eighteen layers of h.e.l.l began to tremble and tried to escape this place.
The Underworld would become chaotic if someone did not figure a way to convince His Highness to leave.
“What is he doing here? To pick a fight?” The King of h.e.l.l was tall and strong, so he easily lifted the judge with a single hand. His face was scrunched up with displeasure.
The judge stammered out, “I-It d-doesn’t l-look like it. B-But if someone…approaches him, I guess he w-would explode.”
“Am I supposed to be scared of that? I have found this kept man unbearable for a long time. I will deal with him today!” The King of h.e.l.l flung his subordinate away and went out with a malicious grin on his face.
The woman who sat behind him interrupted, “You asked me to come here, just to let me watch you fight with the Emperor?”
“Of course not!” The King of h.e.l.l swiftly changed his direction and sat back down in his original spot. “I asked you here because Little Seventh misses you so much, he really wants to meet you.”
The judge was speechless.
Why did the bosses of the Magical Realm and the Underworld like to use their son as an excuse to lie to their wife?
