Helian Wei Wei’s fingers were locked for a while, “Alright.”
“Let’s begin.” Fire Qilin’s voice gradually turned softer.
Big pieces of snowflakes fell from the sky and Helian Wei Wei’s eyelashes were tinted white. She raised her hand and gently patted her face, but eventually she could not hold back the sadness that she felt in her heart. She slid down off the wall and sat on the floor, her shoulders slightly shivering.
The North Wind blew past.
On that night, the little boy was restless.
He had a dream. In his dream, she told him that she was freezing as she looked at him with pitiful eyes.
As a qualified master, he should not let his own prey be freezing.
He remembered that he had a fur coat in his royal chamber, so he rushed into the inner chamber, but because of his small size, it was basically impossible for him to reach the coat that was placed at a high place.
He walked in circles in panic, then without hesitation, he moved a chair over and crawled up. He stretched out his fingers, trying to reach the fur coat.
At last, he got the fur coat.
However, an unknown silhouette appeared beside her.
The figure looked like himself but was more mature, taller and buffer. That man carried her up in his arms with ease, giving her warmth with his embrace.
She curled her lips, losing the haughtiness that she wore as she cuddled in the silhouette’s arms, just like an obedient fox.
He, the little boy stood inside the chamber which was only a door’s distance away. He looked at them in a daze, like a silly boy.
Only when he put down the fur coat did he realize that his knee was wounded.
He had probably knocked on the cupboard when he climbed onto the chair…
The sudden pain in his leg spread to his chest. The pain was so severe that he even felt out of breath, but he still wanted to look at her.
For the first time in his life, he hated that he was younger than her. He hated that he was not tall and strong enough, he hated himself to the bone.
Well, what was the use of that? She did not even take a look at him.
The little boy held onto the coat in his hand tightly and asked, “Why…”
Why must that man be the chosen one?
Why was he not chosen?
His voice turned hoarse after asking all those questions, but there was no reply at all…
“Your Highness, Your Highness…” It was Shadow. The prince’s wound was applied with ointment and should not be touched. However, from the moment the prince laid down to rest, he was not at ease even for a moment. Shadow was worried that he would hurt his forehead again.
The little boy finally woke up. When he realized that it was all a dream, he let out a faint sigh of relief.
Later, he stood up from his bed and coughed heavily a few times. His face was tinted with an unusual redness.
He thought that maybe if he went to look for her, she would notice his wounds and definitely care about him.
So, he ran out of the room just like that, without a care for anything else.
However… the area beside the house was empty.
The little boy’s hands were petrified. He clutched the door handle tightly before turning his head around, “Shadow, where is she?”
“She?” Shadow was befuddled. Realizing who the little boy was talking about, he answered, “Since both of you returned, she never left the room. I thought she was asleep, which was why…”
Without waiting for his sentence to end, the little boy started to run. He immediately burst into Luanfeng Palace and glared at the Empress coldly, “Where is she? Where did you send her to?”
“Who?” The Empress squinted her eyes, “Do you know what you are doing now? How dare you come running in without notice! Where is your princely etiquette!”
Bang!
In the blink of an eye, the little boy threw the palace lantern beside him onto the floor. His eyes were bloodshot, “Now that she’s gone, what is the point of etiquette! Where is she!”
“I have no idea who you are talking about.” The Empress saw the redness in his eyes, and she started to feel uneasy, “I did not lay my hands on any of your servants.”
Actually, the little boy knew that the Empress was not behind this, but he just wanted to try his luck, no matter how slim his chances were.
But in reality, there was no trace of her.
It was like she had never existed.
The uncontrollable fear was like a tide, drowning him whole.
The little boy returned to his room, and the world became frighteningly quiet.
He stared at his bed, and his gaze trembled slightly.
He lifted his hands to cover his eyes and inhaled a big mouthful of air.
He was left alone in the empty space, all the servants that reported back had told him that she was gone!
The little boy clenched his fist hard, so hard that he left red marks on his palm.
As he slowly relaxed his fingers, something started to steadily flow down from his eyes…
He had no idea how long he had been sitting on the floor.
Probably for two hours, maybe four…
At last, he laughed softly. Cracks started to appear on the floor under his feet, and the whole room started to shake along with his laugh!
In the midst of flying sand and rolling pebbles, a small silhouette walked out of the darkness. His delicate face was smeared with bloodstains, and behind him were ruins of houses, clouds of smoke and snow, engulfing the entire palace…
…
“Cough, cough cough!” When Helian Wei Wei opened her eyes once again, she was at the Holy Worship Temple.
Young Nangong Lie looked at her curiously and even used the offering stick to poke at her face. He looked like a hippie, “Hey, are you a ghost or a human? Why are you here?”
Helian Wei Wei massaged her temples and started to suspect that Fire Qilin had sent her to the wrong place.
“Don’t tell me she is mute?” Nangong Lie’s youthful and handsome face closed in gradually. He suddenly started to laugh wickedly, “This is interesting, I have just predicted Ah Jue’s fate before going out. When I got back, you appeared in the divinatory circle! Don’t tell me you are Ah Jue’s destiny, the love of his life?”
When Helian Wei Wei heard the name ‘Ah Jue’, she felt a sudden ache in her heart.
Nangong Lie touched his own chin, “Her looks are pretty good, but why does she look so familiar, as if we have met somewhere before…”
“Where is he?” Helian Wei Wei put down her hands and interrupted.
Nangong Lie raised his eyebrows, “Not a mute, too bad, Ah Jue does not like talkative people.”
Helian Wei Wei laughed, “Neither do I. It would be better for you to tell me his location now, Young Master Lie.”
“Him? Ah Jue?” Nangong Lie looked at her sarcastically, “Did you appear here intentionally? All your effort will go down the drain, Ah Jue would never look at any woman other than the girl from the House of Helian…” Nangong paused for a moment, and looked at Helian Wei Wei more closely, “Wait a second, you look like… you look almost identical! Don’t tell me you’re her? Hey, this is too much for a joke. Why does it feel like you have grown so much? Don’t you know that Ah Jue has been searching for you everywhere?”
