Chapter 337 - Third Prince Was Here
Helian Wei Wei was listening while looking down. She was thinking of a way to get out afterward.
After all, there were only a few of them in the room.
Those who craved for eternal youth were already holding on to the mythological beast and drinking from the opened brain. Their expressions were like those on drugs, lost yet high at the same time.
Helian Wei Wei had started to act as well, she knew she had to. If she were to reject it straight away, Murong Hongtu would surely treat her like how he treated the businessman earlier.
Of course, he would not be of her match.
But Helian Wei Wei had not forgotten about her mission today.
Tu Sufeng sent them here to secretly investigate on Murong Hongtu’s recent information, but he did not want to let anyone know about this.
So, she could not fight.
“Why aren’t you drinking?” The old woman in brocade garments, who was standing beside Helian Wei Wei looked at her doubtfully.
Before Helian Wei Wei could speak a word, Murong Hongtu suddenly opened his gloomy eyes and glanced toward her.
Helian Wei Wei smiled and said, “I want to know how it tastes like first. Besides, I think such good stuff should be tasted slowly to really know how it actually tastes like.”
Upon saying that, she looked up and looked at the guard near her, “Bring me a wine glass.”
“You really know how to enjoy,” Murong Hongtu laughed and said, “bring me one as well.”
Helian Wei Wei smiled, she filled the glass with blood, then she swayed her sleeves, “I’ll drink first to show respect.”
Murong Hongtu was staring at her without blinking, he saw that she had emptied her glass and there was blood left at the corner of her mouth. Then, he moved his gaze away and entertained the others, “Come on, cheers!”
The room was filled with jubilation, everyone was smiling in hallucination.
Whitey was worried and his forehead creased in a frown, “Woman, you didn’t really drink it, right?”
“Why would I?” Helian Wei Wei covered her mouth with her sleeve. She coughed slightly, she could taste the metallic taste of blood in her throat.
Yuan Ming laughed, “Woman, you’re so cruel to yourself.” This woman was the only one who would use her inner force to get her veins snapped in order to stain her lips with blood.
Helian Wei Wei smiled gracefully with her left hand pressing downward. She chit-chatted with the people beside her as she regained her breath.
However, right at this moment, the old woman looked like she had gone insane, she sniffed around, licking her lips with her bloody tongue. She looked monstrously horrifying. “What’s that smell on you? Why is it so sweet?”
Helian Wei Wei paused her breath, then she smiled, “What can be on my body? This room is full of the smell of blood, I think you’re getting it wrong.”
“Is that so…” The old woman’s face was full of doubt, she lowered her head and thought for a while, then she called the person leaning on the wooden chair beside her, “You try to sniff on her, I think she smells great.”
Upon hearing that, that person glanced at Helian Wei Wei.
Whitey was backing up subconsciously, he was worried that those first-timers would notice the presence of mythological beast after drinking their blood.
But Helian Wei Wei knew they were probably referring to the smell of the blood hidden in her sleeves.
“She really smells great, so great.” That person was looking more engrossed than the old woman and he was bending over slowly.
Helian Wei Wei’s fingers stiffened, but her gaze was calm as usual.
The two people looked at each other, then they started to approach Helian Wei Wei step by step…
“There’s a smell indeed.” Murong Hongtu grinned broadly, there was blood at the corner of his lips, he then looked toward Helian Wei Wei.
Helian Wei Wei did not move, but she knew very well about the situation that she was in. Looking at the drooling gazes on her, she felt as if they were not humans, but zombies which had lost all the senses and possessed only the sense of smell.
Helian Wei Wei squinted her eyes, she was brewing energy in her palms but her face showed no panic at all.
This made people think that there was nothing wrong with her.
“All of you do have a great sense of smell.” Murong Hongtu smiled again, he passed by Helian Wei Wei and put his hand onto the string hanging from the beam. “The smell actually comes from this guy, he must have made a contract with some sort of high level mythological beast, which is why he smells great.”
After Murong Hongtu said so, he used some force and a loud swishing sound could be heard!
A man in white and green robes fell down. He was chained with the shackles that were used to seize mythological beasts; those were more than enough to be used on humans.
The man’s head was half-lowered with both his hands being tied to the beam, his black hair laid by the corners of his eyes, covering up his deep and serene eyes.
Only his angular chin and straight-edged nose could be seen.
Once he was let down, he raised his head slowly, looking so arrogant. Although he appeared in such a manner, he was still stunning and extraordinary!
It’s him!
Helian Wei Wei was stunned when she saw the cold but charismatic man who was tied up, her brows frowned slightly.
The situation seemed to be getting out of her control.
She thought he was still staying in the academy when she went out.
How did he get kidnapped all of a sudden…
While Helian Wei Wei was having those thoughts, she saw Baili Jia Jue locking his gaze on her, his thin and sexy lips curving upward slightly, looking more flirtatious than he used to be. It was simply because of the faint smell of sweetness on the tip of her nose and the room full of blood.
After coming out from the cliff, Baili Jia Jue started to investigate on the matter of mythological beasts but he was not that passionate back then.
If it was not because of the magical beasts that appeared in the White Academy, he would not be here by himself. He had already noticed that Murong Hongtu was weird since the beginning, but he did not like wiping out his enemy with a sheer move, he liked to take it slow as that would be more interesting.
But… Murong Hongtu was the first one who dared to kidnap him.
Baili Jia Jue squinted his beautiful eyes, his gaze fell onto Helian Wei Wei again as he furrowed his brows.
“Isn’t that your man?” Yuan Ming’s tone was becoming more evil, “How come he was kidnapped?”
Helian Wei Wei gave Yuan Ming a very standard answer, “He likes cosplay.”
Based on her understanding of Baili Jia Jue, surely he was being kidnapped on purpose… such a repulsive addiction…
Helian Wei Wei shook her head in her mind.
Murong Hongtu sneered and said, “This man was wandering outside the room and he thought he could hide it away from me, heh, how naive.” Upon saying that, he brought over a sharp sword and smirked, “With such good talent, his blood must be tasty as well, that can also be the guiding drug for your mythological beast.”
