Chapter 705: The Beginning Of Helian Wei Wei’s Witty Mind

Chapter 705: The Beginning Of Helian Wei Wei’s Witty Mind

It could be said that this was a bad omen.

Be it grave robbing or exorcising, that very one taboo was to do those things in rainy weather.

The reason was because water contained Qi of Yin.

It was likely to induce the rise of living corpses…

At this very moment, the King of Hell who initially wanted to close the gates to the netherworld in three days gave a new order. If the rain would not stop, the gates to the netherworld must be closed at midnight, which was the zero hour.

When the son of the King of Hell heard the news, he smacked the Book of Life and Death in his hands, "Old man, are you kidding me?"

King of Hell hated being called old the most. His hand tightened around the teacup he was holding, then with an unpleasant expression he scolded,"B*stard, you must be yearning to be punished! From today onward, you’re forbidden to step out from the netherworld!"

"You’re making me want to leave here!" The King of Hell’s son had two horns on his head and a death mark imprinted on the corner of his handsome mouth, "You think I love this place? I will head toward the human world now! Little Hook is still waiting for me there!"

The King of Hell snickered, "Wasn’t that the human who kicked you back here? Still waiting for you? Isn’t it time that you wake up from your daydream?"

"Old Man, I’ll tolerate you this time since you’re my father!" His son lifted his huge black axe and prepared to leap toward the human world!

Resignedly, he was not skillful enough. After jumping a long way, he was still unable to get out from that supposedly little place.

The son of the King of Hell looked back at his father, "If you’re so capable, let go of me and I’ll fight you one on one!"

"Why should I fight one on one with you? Shut your mouth, you brat!" The King of Hell was annoyed as well. This b*stard thought that I really wanted to close the gates of netherworld? With the current situation, if something bad infiltrated in, it would be much more troublesome to handle.

It was obvious that the King of Hell was not a man of patience. He confined his son to a chair and then continued to give orders to the judges. They must match the names and time of death on the Book of Life and Death before midnight.

Seeing as his father was busy, the son took a peek at the two-headed dog behind him.

That was his pet which would always follow alongside him all year round.

The two-headed dog was busy playing with a ball.

Seeing their owner staring at them, they stopped playing.

One of heads spoke, "Little brother, look. What is young master calling us for?"

"He must want us to untie him!" The other head replied with confidence. It had straightened itself up, waiting for a praise from the King of Hell’s son.

However…

Its voice and movements were too loud.

Not just the busy King of Hell, but even the judges looked toward the son of the King of Hell…

He cursed under his breath, holding

There was no other choice. Even though he knew his father would be enraged after hearing what he had to say, and would probably want to duel with that person, he insisted on telling!

"Old Man, do you remember that Great Demon King whom you always fought with and was on par with you? He’s still alive, I saw him." The truth was, his father had never won against the Great Demon King, but he said it to agitate his father less.

As expected, the King of Hell pushed aside the judges before him as he yelled with fire in his eyes, "Where’s that jerk?"

His son replied coldly, "Why should I tell you?"

The King of Hell narrowed his eyes, a shimmer of amber emitted from them, "You think you can threaten me this way?"

"Anyway, he became more handsome than before." His son pretended like it was none of his business and continued,"If mother sees him, she would definitely abandon you, have you forgotten how she praised him that time? She commented that he was like a divine deity, with a devilish aura around him, yet he was as gentle as water. Sigh, the main core of that person is his charisma. Father, not that I want to deal a blow at you, it’s just that although you look alright, using violence for loyalty is no longer the trend now. Instead, gentle and elegance is highly sought after, yet you have none of those qualities. Moreover, mother has not completely agree to be with you even until now. Heh!"

The words from the King of Hell’s son had sparked the King of Hell’s fury!

"Tell me his location right now and I’ll let you go to the human world to see Little Hook!" King of Hell could not tolerate men whom his wife had praised before. He must kill them all!

The son of the King of Hell took the chance and clapped his hands, "Deal!"

The father and son made a deal. One went to the palace with rage.

The other used the two-headed dog to quickly locate the Alsatian beside Helian Wei Wei. He jumped down and landed on the Wang family’s roof.

Right then, Helian Wei Wei’s eyes darkened along with the sudden downpour.

When the son of the King of Hell saw her, he immediately jumped down into the courtyard, "Woman!"

Helian Wei Wei saw the hostile little boy and raised her eyebrows,"Why did you come?"

"I’m here to inform you that my father is closing the Path of Reincarnation in advance. Luckily he is a jealous man. Once he heard about the Great Demon King, he forgot his responsibilities and rushed to the palace!"

Helian Wei Wei listened quietly but could not help herself as she turned to look at Baili Jia Jue.

His Highness had his attractive face turned to the side. Moonlight and rain meant nothing to him, even the words of the King of Hell’s son were not taken seriously

But… what had His Highness done this time, to make the King of Hell lose his mind, and left everything behind just for revenge in the human world?

Helian Wei Wei did not doubt His Highness’ ability to attract hatred.

Yet he never seemed to be bothered by it before.

Becoming His Highness’ enemy was quite a tragedy…

"But," the King of Hell’s son continued, "He was always fast. If he could not find the Great Demon King in the palace, he would immediately continue with his plan to close the Path of Reincarnation. The judges are all ready. Once it reaches midnight, the gates to the netherworld would be closed. Unless the rain stops, or the netherworld would not be able to tell which spirit carried the aura of resentment and which did not. Hence, this extreme measure is the only way."

Helian Wei Wei frowned, she did not blame the son of the King of Hell for suddenly going back on his words.

She knew that the decision to close the gates to the netherworld was for the greater good. It was an effective way to quarantine the infection from spreading.

Unless the source of the infection could be eliminated immediately, if not, the Path of Reincarnation would definitely need to close.

Helian Wei Wei turned her head and rested her sights on Yan Liu-er and Wang Ling. Then, she narrowed her eyes as she strode toward Wang Ling, "In that case, we should not waste anymore time."

In that moment, hidden under its long hair, the corners of the hostile ghost’s lips slowly lifted, giving off a frightening aura. It knew it. However clever a person was, they would always forget about the innocent weaklings. Moreover, he had already made a scene just now which went according to his plan. The moment the wedding outfits were burned, he finally picked this person…

Baili Jia Jue’s voice was unrushed as he commanded Shadow behind him, "Go and get a hand warmer."</p><p>Shadow nodded respectfully, returning almost instantly after he left to acquire one.</p><p>Helian Wei Wei felt very warm, as a warm object was tucked into her left hand while her right hand was held by Baili Jia Jue.</p><p>However, the stares from the surrounding onlookers were too glaring. It seemed that everyone was staring at them.</p><p>Baili Jia Jue’s seemed expressionless, but the covert smile on his face made him look even more handsome than before.</p><p>Eunuch Sun beside them let out a sigh of relief. The others might not understand, but he knew it very clearly.</p><p>Even though His Highness was indifferent throughout the journey…</p><p>Due to recent events, both the Retired Emperor and him were worried that His Highness would deviate into the demonic path. However, it seemed that the Third Prince was still the same. Other than his indifferent temperament and his unwillingness to speak, he was still quite gentle with the Third Princess Consort.</p><p>The Retired Emperor understood his grandson’s meaning as well. He cursed secretly in his heart. Brat! Then, he beckoned Little Seven over and they sat on the upper seat together.</p><p>In front of every minister, there would be a small wooden table that had been set up early in the morning, while the palace maids and eunuchs were standing ready at the side to pour the wine and served the food. The entire vicinity was bustling with noise and excitement.</p><p>However, the more lively it was, some people’s minds would become busier.</p><p>After Baili Jia Jue sat down with Helian Wei Wei in his embrace, he used his long, fair fingers to peel a fried chestnut and placed it in her bowl. As he was using a white handkerchief to wipe his hands, two ministers in the front row of the Great Hall stood up.</p><p>They were the patriarchs of their families, who went to pray together with the Retired Emperor. Everyone was absolutely brimming with joy.</p><p>"Although I’m not in the Capital, I highly revere Your Highness’ valiant for seizing control of the Xuanyuan Kingdom capital effortlessly. Within a day, their King sent his appeal letter to the Retired Emperor and gave up the southern area of the Xuanyuan Kingdom in front of the messenger. This has never happened before! Your Highness’ brilliant astuteness was simply unparalleled."</p><p>"Yes, Old Li and I were stunned when we heard it. As the saying goes, most of the heroes are the youths. Just look at the Third Prince, our War Dragon Dynasty’s status in the Divine Mainland won’t be the same anymore!"</p><p>"An old saying goes, a nation could not be governed by nobody. The late Emperor is dead now. Since Old Wu and I are ministers to three generations of emperors, we want to recommend the Third Prince as the Emperor in front of the ministers! I think no one would oppose if we hand the War Dragon Dynasty to a prince with great mind and ability. "</p><p>Of course, nobody would oppose after experiencing such a series of incidents.</p><p>Even the Fifth Prince’s people had sworn loyalty to Baili Jia Jue, let alone the ministers who were on Baili Jia Jue’s side since the beginning.</p><p>Furthermore, Baili Jia Jue was the crown prince. Now that the Emperor was gone, it was legal and natural for him to succeed to the throne.</p><p>All the ministers stood up and offered obeisance in the Great Hall. Resounding support echoed from them.</p><p>The Retired Emperor was happy when he heard that. Since he did not have much time left, inheriting the throne to his grandson would fulfill his last wish.</p><p>Before his return to the palace, a few ministers had already mentioned this vaguely.</p><p>However, he thought that they would discuss it again a few days later.</p><p>Unexpectedly, they voiced out their support today.</p><p>"My beloved subjects, please rise." The Retired Emperor grinned happily. Although he was slightly doubtful, the joy had dispelled all suspicions. He turned around and said to Eunuch Sun, "The enthronement has always been an extremely important event in the nation’s foundation. You and Lord Li should carefully pick an auspicious day for it."</p><p>"Yes," Eunuch Sun lowered his head and answered, his face beaming with ecstasy.</p><p>The ministers realized that the enthronement was set in stone upon hearing this, so they laughed even more gleefully. Except for the ministers from the two families, everyone had returned to their seats and started giving a toast to each other.</p><p>Especially, those ministers who were on Baili Jia Jue’s side from the beginning.</p><p>They were different from the people under the other princes.</p><p>They obviously knew that who was the wise emperor, Baili Jia Jue had a calm mind and was simply concealing his strength.</p><p>Essentially, he was worlds apart from those princes who were only interested in pursuing their personal gains.</p><p>They acted with great care for the past years, as they needed to be moderate and could not behave too obviously in the Great Hall, even if they were loyal to the Third Prince.</p><p>They were worried that the Emperor would be jealous of His Highness and refuse to give him any opportunities.</p><p>Ever since young, both the Emperor and the Empress had been treating the Third Prince extremely unfairly.</p><p>Although a minister should not comment on the imperial family, the Emperor’s methods were too obvious.</p><p>If the Retired Emperor did not shield him, the Third Prince might not survive into adulthood.</p><p>Since the day when they tested the Third Prince’s martial Qi, the Emperor’s jealousy toward him was hidden within every movement that he made daily.</p><p>In any family, the one who had gained this kind of honor would be praised and flattered.</p><p>However, it was different in the Royal Family.</p><p>Although the War Dragon Dynasty focussed on martial arts and the Third Prince obtained the title of the crown prince as the apparent heir to the throne, people in the imperial palace had always been envious of genius individuals.</p><p>They were almost driven to despair when the huge fire occurred. As they could only helplessly watch a wise emperor fall into ruin, they were very sorry and regretful.</p><p>Unexpectedly, the Third Prince slowly reached adulthood.</p><p>Not only did he not weaken his presence, but he also became the most mysterious prince of the War Dragon Dynasty.</p><p>In no time at all, all the six ministries gradually fell into his grasp. Even the officials, soldiers, and kings of the neighboring countries feared his existence.</p><p>Now, his effort had ultimately paid off. His </p><p>However, the two other ministers did not share this mentality.</p><p>They suggested Baili Jia Jue to quickly inherit the throne, so that their daughters could marry him to help maintain their families’ influences.</p><p>The current situation was clear as day. Even if they did not support the Third Prince as the emperor, he would inevitably inherit the throne.</p><p>Hence, they mentioned it first so that the Third Prince would believe that he owed them a favor. Therefore, it would be easier for them to talk about the selection of consorts.</p><p>The two ministers had planned these perfectly. They exchanged a glance, before one of them said, "The palace has not been peaceful all this time. I think that there should be some joyous events to usher in some good luck."</p><p>"It’s reasonable." Another minister spoke while looking at Helian Wei Wei, "In my opinion, the palace lacks a lively atmosphere. After all, the Princess Consort has been married to Your Highness for quite some time. Since Your Highness is busy every day, I think it’s time to look for a considerate lady to ease your burden."</p><p>Helian Wei Wei was still eating the chestnut that Baili Jia Jue peeled, so she could not find a suitable opportunity to tell His Highness that she was pregnant. Yet, these people were more anxious about her pregnancy than her.</p><p>Heh, they’re really, really silly.</p><h3>Comment (<span>0</span>)</h3><h3>Chapter 715: Trying To Frame Wei Wei But Received A Slap From His Highness Instead
