Master, I heard that you slept with the human in your arms for the whole night?

After the sunset, in the hall, Fire Qilin asked with a tone of great astonishment.
Baili Jia Jue threw an indifferent glimpse at it with no intention to answer the question.
Fire Qilin quivered in fear. It coughed and said,
Master, I have no intention to tattle about you. I always think that your body temperature is relatively lower. I feel cold even when I stand beside you. I’m only worried about the human who slept in your arms overnight and I’m glad that she did not fall sick.


That’s why I let her stay,
Baili Jia Jue said half-heartedly as he placed the skull down.
Go and investigate her background. Find out if she has any kin in the human world who makes her desperately want to bring me out of the magical realm.



Upon listening to Baili Jia Jue’s words, Fire Qilin furrowed its brows and asked,
Master, your soul strength has been somewhat unstable lately. You’ll be exposed once you leave the magical realm. Can this possibly be the Exorcising Tribe’s stratagem?


I can’t tell for sure if she is from the Exorcising Tribe,
Baili Jia Jue said as he stood up,
But the people of the Exorcising Tribe certainly have the intention to hunt me down and kill me…

The sky gradually turned darker.
An unidentified man moved across the room and passed some refreshments to a lady who was clad in pink. He then spoke in a muffled voice,
He has noticed the Exorcising Tribe’s agenda and ordered for an internal investigation. You have to act fast. The identity of the lady who arrived alongside you still remains a mystery. I reckon that he is the wariest around her. Work out a way to extract yourself from the place. We’ll try our best to aid you.

The lady in pink gently bit her lip as she studied her surroundings.
He is always a very vigilant man. We have to apply an exceptional trick to deceive him. Send two death knights to put on an act, impersonating as two assassins who want to ambush him. Then, I will try to block the sword for him.


You want them to ambush him?
The man was flustered.
I’m afraid that he will kill them before they even have the chance to show their swords.

The lady in pink continued with a softer voice,
I’ll meet up with the woman later. I reckon that he will arrive almost at the same time. You only have to act in front of the woman. There’s no need to get close to him. He’ll fall for it as long as you pretend to hurt me.


Are you sure that it will work?
the man asked.

Hmm.
The lady in pink replied,
I saved him once when we were in the human world. That was why he chose me as an offering for the Exorcising Tribe, proving that I’m somewhat special to him.


If you’re so confident, we’ll execute your plan,
the man said as he stared at her.
Ni Feng, you must not be compassionate. The demons are wandering in the human world. If we don’t lure him to the human world during his weakest time, the Divine Exorcism Seal will not be useful against him. When that happens, even if all the demons are locked in hell, the right path of our human world will never be fixed before he dies.



Ni Feng grasped the white handkerchief in her hand and received the plate. She stared into the distance as she replied,
Yes, I know. Don’t worry. Since the day I arrived at the magical realm, I’ve decided to not be soft-hearted.

At this moment, the door squeaked open.
Then, Xiao Kui was seen entering the room excitedly. Oblivious to the present servants, she leaned forward and spoke in Ni Feng’s ears,
Sister Ni, the woman is dead meat now. She has been insisting on bringing His Highness to the human world regardlessly. I reckon that she has worn out His Highness’ patience, causing His Highness to order an investigation directed at her. If he discovers anything, she will definitely be in deep water and will possibly lose her life.

Ni Feng’s eyes sparkled as she snickered,
Let’s pay her a visit. She has been alone since she was in the magical realm. I bet she yearns to get out of that place.

She did not want anyone to be sacrificed, thinking that it would be a better idea to send the woman off.
At this moment, she had to exploit Helian Wei Wei without distracting Baili Jia Jue unnecessarily.
Xiao Kui sneered,
That sounds like a good plan. We shall show the country bumpkin that she can never emulate us.

This time, Ni Feng remained silent. Together, the two of them headed to the place Helian Wei Wei was locked up at.
His Highness was a rather generous owner to his pets. He even set a time when Helian Wei Wei was allowed to take a stroll outside.
During the scheduled time, the entire cage, with Helian Wei Wei still locked within, would be brought outdoors for a saunter.


However, Helian Wei Wei’s movement was restricted as she had to stay within the cage.
That was not an issue for her. At this moment, she was more concerned and anxious to figure out a way to bring His Highness back to the human world.
Helian Wei Wei leaned against the cage and got distracted by the sight of the Pandemonium.

Look, Sister Ni. Some people are so easily contented. She can sleep comfortably even in a cage. She is such a shameless woman,
Xiao Kui said with a disgusted tone.
Finding it hilarious, Helian Wei Wei watched as Xiao Kui spoke. She casually picked up a piece of cake and placed it inside her mouth, completely ignoring Xiao Kui’s presence.
Considering Helian Wei Wei as an average looking girl, Xiao Kui was annoyed by Helian Wei Wei’s haughty attitude. If the magical beast did not bring her back, she was not even qualified to be an offering. Xiao Kui was infuriated when Helian Wei Wei treated her with no respect because, in Xiao Kui’s opinion, Helian Wei Wei was a completely worthless woman!

Xiao Kui, what did I tell you during our journey here?
Ni Feng seemed irritated as she turned to reprimand Xiao Kui,
We have to always be polite to others.

Xiao Kui continued to gaze at Helian Wei Wei scornfully, but she altered her tone to speak to Helian Wei Wei in a respectful manner,
Sister Ni is here to visit you out of the kindness of the heart. If you give up your inconceivable plan, we can ask His Highness to spare your life and let you go. Now, Sister Ni and I have been arranged to stay in the palace. You should be able to understand the difference between you and Sister Ni in His Highness’ eyes by now. Sister Ni has previously saved His Highness and His Highness has since been caring for her dearly. I advise you to make a sensible decision and back off before things turn ugly.

Indeed, Helian Wei Wei was not on familiar terms with Baili Jia Jue anymore.
Her heart wrenched as she listened to Xiao Kui’s words.


She was not disheartened by Xiao Kui’s statement. However, it broke her heart as she understood that it was a human’s nature to cherish his or her savior…
Xiao Kui caught a glimpse of the depressed Helian Wei Wei.
She continued,
I reckon that you haven’t heard about the news. Sister Ni is the only woman who has been chosen by His Highness as a human sacrifice. Being a descendant of the Exorcising Tribe, she was born in a noble family and makes an ideal match for His Highness. But, you? You’re only a thick-skinned woman who is good for nothing.

She’s a descendant of the Exorcising Tribe? Helian Wei Wei narrowed her eyes. She remembered clearly what Yuan Ming told her back in the White Academy. It was a lady of the Exorcising Tribe who annihilated the primordial spirit of the king who used to rule all the demons, causing it to vanish from the world…
