1022 His Highness

“Yo! What’s wrong with this child?” Another boss, Kasuo, held out his slender finger. Right when he was about to dip his finger on the child’s adorable little cheek, Baili Shangxie turned his body and avoided his approach.

Kasuo pursed his lips and muttered, “Can’t even touch a little.”

Baili Shangxie looked at him with a poker face and said indifferently, “You’re a Grim Reaper, your aura is not good for him.”

“Is it so?” Kasuo furrowed his brow as he had never heard of such a statement.

Bing was noticeably more reliable. He closed the notebook in his hand and started talking. There was no warmth in his voice. “He’s not enlightened and his physique is different from yours, yet your Imperial Father’s magic is so strong that it causes an impact on him. Put him in the coffin first, everything will be alright if your Imperial Father is able to return.”

Baili Shangxie remained silent, but he did not refuse to have any contact with the Grim Reaper like he did before.

Right now, nothing mattered more to him than his younger brother.

Baili Shangxie crouched down and placed Helian Qingchen, who was smaller than him, into the softest coffin. Unwilling to leave, he watched over the little one at the side.

When Helian Qingchen felt unwell, he would feed him some water that he prepared and rub the little one’s head with his fingers as if he was comforting him.

Kasuo shook his head in disbelief. “Never would I have thought that this vicious fellow would be fond of his little brother.”

“It’s true that he only knew how to eat people back then, it’s the same for all the devils.” Bing had a deep voice. “Especially those demonized devils, more often than not they will unconsciously perform acts that they will regret soon after. In addition to that, he’s a purebred devil. In his head, killing is nothing but a method of survival as devils are born cunning and selfish. You’re not fond of them too, aren’t you?”

Kasuo smiled. “Indeed, I dislike them, but the devil isn’t the nastiest species as compared to humans. So, if this issue can be done and dealt with, perhaps we don’t need to get involved, right? I don’t want to fight with that man because I know it will lead to my ultimate defeat. Even the King of h.e.l.l lost to him, isn’t it? But if it’s you, you may be able to last very long.”

“Don’t talk with your gigolo tone in front of me.” Bing pushed the gla.s.ses sitting on the ridge of his tall nose. “No fight will take place, there’s always an anomaly.”

Anomaly?

Kasuo peered out at the window. Yeah, by right the person will show up.

The Grim Reapers were right about that.

At the other end of the equinox flowers in the deep corner of the Underworld, a man actually came walking by.

He was no longer dressing in the fas.h.i.+on of the olden days. Instead, he clad in a white T-s.h.i.+rt with a pair of brown slacks, appearing to be as clean as the moon hanging high in the sky, alluring yet sophisticated.

Behind him was a little one with a gloomy expression on his face, holding a small bottle gourd in one hand. He looked ghostly because of the heavy eye bags, but his act of tugging at the man’s sleeves made him look oddly adorable.

Baili Jia Jue’s silver long hair was stained with black ink, drenched, but gently fluttering onto his anterior body. He simply let the river water soak his robe, the water eventually mixed with the fresh blood on his chest. He was still the whole time.

The man walked over to Baili Jia Jue and paused, his eyes glancing through Helian Wei Wei’s face like flowing water. “She’s still the same as she was at Mountain Tenya. If something involved you, her first reaction would be to protect you.”

Baili Jia Jue slowly lifted his head up and said with a deep voice, “Jing Wushuang?”

“It’s indeed a rare sight to see you in such a difficult position.” Jing Wushuang’s words were for Baili Jia Jue, but his eyes never left Helian Wei Wei as she was his longing for the past millions of years. “In this case, I guess her hard work paid off now. Do you know why she extracted the Dharma Bone herself back then? Because she refused to follow the orders of Buddhism to exterminate you.”
