“Helian Wei Wei, is my IQ a negative value in your mind?” Baili Jia Jue glanced back at her, the taunting expression in his eyes making Helian Wei Wei’s heart tighten.
Nevertheless, she still stood up, her clear eyes looking straight at him as she declared, “I know this may sound absurd, but now you’re just experiencing your past. Your current self is just your own Soul Fragment.”
“What do you mean?” There was a sense of uncertainty shown in Baili Jia Jue’s eyes.
Helian Wei Wei knew that he was finally willing to lend her an ear. Therefore, she explained clearly to him how she came here, what Fire Qilin did, and why he was sealed by the Divine Exorcism Seal, “That’s why I told you to be wary of Ni Feng.” A love rival must be wiped out at the very beginning.
However, he did not show any response after listening to her.
“You don’t believe me?” Helian Wei Wei raised her left hand to make herself look more trustworthy. “I have this Red Soul Binding Rope given by Fire Qilin before I came here. It said that I will be able to return once I cut off this string. But I won’t do that unless you’re going back with me.”
Baili Jia Jue laughed coldly, “Helian Wei Wei, you do know a lot, but don’t you know that in order to trap me with the Divine Exorcism Seal, I must be in the human world?”
What?
At that split second, Helian Wei Wei felt like she had plummeted into an ice hole. It was as if someone had splashed her with cold water, leaving her freezing from head to toe.
Nobody had ever told her this. Maybe even Fire Qilin was unaware of this.
Yet, she kept trying to persuade Baili Jia Jue to follow her back to the human world. How could he believe in her with such motives?
“Just kill me then.” Helian Wei Wei started to give up on herself.
But then, Baili Jiajue suddenly snatched her hand over. “Did you really mean your last sentence?”
“Which sentence?” Helian Wei Wei subconsciously asked him back.
Baili Jia Jue looked at her with his wintry eyes, “Your man in the human world, is me.”
“Of course I meant it, we’re even married. Moreover, you’ve promised to love only me in this life, and you will never leave or dump me.” Helian Wei Wei improvised the last sentence, because she thought that he would not believe her anyway, so she would rather say anything she wanted to.
Baili Jia Jue stared into her eyes for a very long time, so long that Helian Wei Wei thought that his stare was about to penetrate through her face.
He then spoke up slowly, “I don’t think those words would be spoken by me.”
“So you do know that you’re incapable of kindness in this life.” Helian Wei Wei muttered under her breath.
Baili Jia Jue’s long, mesmerizing eyes squinted, “What did you say?”
“Everything I said just now was just to annoy you.” Helian Wei Wei gave in at the right timing.
Baili Jia Jue’s tone finally regained temperature, “Now this sounds like what you would say.”
“So do you believe me now?” Helian Wei Wei was kind of surprised. Judging from the current situation, even she herself would not trust what she said. Since when did His Majesty became so easy to convince?
Baili Jia Jue suddenly emitted a low chuckle upon looking at her. He then trapped her in between him and the wall. “Because I noticed that if I still refuse to believe you, you will keep pestering me. Other than this, what other tactics do you have?”
“I still have loads in store.” Helian Wei Wei was experienced on this topic, she did not read 108 Ways to Court Your ‘Wife’ for nothing. “You’re not believing me just because I pestered you, right? I still plan to do something else.”
Baili Jia Jue’s gaze deepened. “What else do you plan to do?”
“Kiss you.” Helian Wei Wei replied with a sultry voice, half grinning. “You don’t know this yet, but you did criticize my ways of wooing people before this. You said that no gift is better than giving…um…”
Helian Wei Wei felt the familiar coolness on her lips, and her unfinished words were all buried in this kiss.
When it ended, Baili Jia Jue gently licked between her lips with the tip of his tongue, as if he was not getting enough of that. Using his usual cold tone, he asked, “Just like this?”
Helian Wei Wei’s ears reddened. She suppressed the urge to cringe while she cleared her throat, “Why would you believe me?”
“Because you managed to escape, but you returned, and slept here while hugging the tiara like a moron.” Baili Jia Jue reached out to hug her. The empty space earlier were filled up now.
Helian Wei Wei was speechless… Why would His Highness verbally attack her everytime he praised her?
“Moreover, I’m the only person who knows about the Soul Fragment. I’ve never told anybody else about that.” Baili Jia Jue caressed the red string on her wrist. “Including this Red Soul Binding Rope, it used to be mine.”
Now Helian Wei Wei was the confused one. “How did you know about the Soul Fragment beforehand?”
“It’s not that I knew beforehand. Instead, from the moment since I fell from the sky, I’ve been capable of controlling my soul, constructing or disintegrating it,” Baili Jia Jue explained light-heartedly. “Seems like the Divine Exorcism Seal you mentioned is quite powerful. Otherwise, there would be no need for me to disintegrate my soul.”
Helian Wei Wei finally spotted her chance. “The most important thing is that you were betrayed. The seal comes after this.” At times like this, she needed to bring up the existence of the love rival!
Baili Jia Jue definitely could decipher her mind, as his thin lips crooked up into a beautiful smile. “I’ll follow you to the human world.”
“No, they’re probably waiting for this moment so that they can activate the Divine Exorcism Seal. So you can’t go.” If it was in the past, Helian Wei Wei would be on cloud nine when she heard this, but him going to the human world right now would be to put him through all the agony he had experienced.
Baili Jia Jue looked deeply into her eyes, tracing her cheeks with his finger, feeling the warm sensation. “How did I end up liking a stupid person like you?”
“Am I stupid? Wait, did you say that you like me just now?” Helian Wei Wei’s eyes brightened up.
At that moment, Baili Jia Jue really thought that he had been raising a puppy, the kind that would never break.
Never once did a soul confuse him this much, yet he could not push her away.
This was all because he had thought that she was like the sun in the human world, who never knew what was exhaustion.
But later, he realized that she would feel tired too, or else she would not have fallen asleep at the front door.
Baili Jia Jue lifted her up and placed her in his Blood Coffin. The coffin was hypnotizing in a way as it was filled by his scent.
Helian Wei Wei felt her eyelids droop. She vaguely heard his low voice saying, “The only way I can go back is to let things happen according to how they played out. Otherwise, the me that you know will not exist…”
After he finished speaking his part, the man in front of her transformed into a gust of fog, barging into the human world together with Fire Qilin.
With that, the rays of Buddha shone into the magical realm, activating the Divine Exorcism Seal.
In the Blood Coffin, Helian Wei Wei held onto the tiara in her hands. When she woke up, the world around her had changed…
