The atmosphere froze.
Helian Wei Wei could clearly see Baili Jia Jue’s pupils shrinking.
She was wondering whether her shout was too loud and it had irritated him.
However, she could not stop herself from shouting.
He was so prideful while he put on his usual cold expression to make others to stay away.


She just had to finish her sentence as fast as she could.
He did not say a word and it was awkwardly silent around them. Helian Wei Wei could not help but clear her throat,
I…


So, are you confessing?
He finally spoke while looking at her insouciantly.
Confessing? Helian Wei Wei had no intention to argue with him at that time. She nodded and said,
Yes, I’m confessing.
I’ll just go with whatever you say.

Come here.
Baili Jia Jue’s low voice was like twilight in spring, hazy but warm. He seemed easy to get close to, but he was elusive at the same time.
Helian Wei Wei walked toward him and wanted to say something.
He took her in his arms. Her nose was instantly filled with his scent.
She could even hear his heartbeat, it was slow but strong just like the ocean. It was as if he could make the whole world calm down by his mere presence.

Don’t go anywhere then. Stay with me.

Baili Jia Jue’s breath brushed past Helian Wei Wei’s ear and she felt ticklish all over her body.


However, she was clearly aware that she could not promise him.
Helian Wei Wei did not speak. She extended her arm to hold his waist and rubbed her face on his fur cloak.
Not getting the answer that he wished for, Baili Jia Jue’s smile lost its warmth instantly.
However, he was not as unapproachable as before. He pushed her away and said with a faint tone,
You have not taken bath since yesterday, didn’t you?

Bath? She had been locked in a cage for the whole day, so of course, she did not take bath. However, she did not think that she would smell foul. Why did he have to push her away from that nice hug?
Baili Jia Jue took another glance at her and ordered Fire Qilin at his side,
Go heat up some water and send it to the Hall of Light. Don’t forget to bring a brush.


Understood.
Fire Qilin lowered its gaze with respect but its gaze was directed toward Helian Wei Wei.
Helian Wei Wei was baffled because of its gaze.
She then followed Baili Jia Jue back to the Hall of Light. He ordered,
Take off your clothes.

She only got the idea,
Are you going to bathe me?




This is your reward for today.
Baili Jia Jue said casually.
Helian Wei Wei thought to herself. What kind of shtty reward is this? I’m a female! Also, why are you holding a brush for animals?

What? Don’t you like this brush?
Baili Jia Jue looked at the brush in his hand following her gaze and said,
The Sky-swallowing Beast seemed to really like it.

Helian Wei Wei replied,
Just use it for the Sky-swallowing Beast then!
This has nothing to do with the brush!

Don’t be jealous.
Baili Jia Jue rubbed her head as if he was calming down a pet.
The Sky-swallowing Beast is still young so I had to bathe it more often. I’ll try to make more time for you in the future.

Helian Wei Wei wondered. What’s wrong with His Highness to think that I’m jealous… Also, why would I get jealous because of a magical beast?

Now, take off your clothes. I’m taking you out after your bath.
Baili Jia Jue took off his black gloves slowly as he spoke. He should take his prey out from time to time so that she would not think of leaving all the time.
Helian Wei Wei understood that there would be no room to negotiate once His Highness decided on something. She would rather follow his intentions and only talk to him about Ni Feng after the bath.
However, unexpected to her, he took off his inner clothing once she stepped into the wooden tub. The lines on his body were causing her immense tension.

Well, you don’t have to take off your own clothes to bathe me, right?



Baili Jia Jue smiled toward her, his elegant moves were making her heart to beat even faster,
I’ve just decided to take bath with you. It’ll be more convenient.

Without giving her any chance to refuse, Baili Jia Jue stepped into the bath. There was a hint of sexiness between his thin lips which could disrupt all peace.
Helian Wei Wei could feel her body burning up especially the spots that got in contact with him, she felt like she could combust into flames.
Fortunate to her, Baili Jia Jue did not do any other moves after that. He just stayed in the water and enjoyed the sensation of getting immersed in warm water. Even so, his strong presence was hard to ignore.
He looked at Helian Wei Wei with both his eyes. He pressed his hair on the back of his head with his hand and water started flowing from the side of his face to his neck, before cascading even further down. He looked so devilishly handsome, making her throat feel dry.
He was even more attractive sometimes after taking off his mask of coldness and elegance.
Helian Wei Wei wanted to have a drink subconsciously.
They would tangle with each other to their hearts’ content when he used to pull her into a bath.
She never realized how fatally attractive he was.
She felt like she could never escape from him at that moment.


Helian Wei Wei shut her eyes for a moment and regained her clarity of mind when she opened her eyes. She looked at Baili Jia Jue and tried her best to speak in a calm tone,
About what happened yesterday, do not trust Ni Feng’s words.

Baili Jia Jue’s movement paused,
Is this your explanation?


I know that she saved you once, and she’s different for you.
Although she would never want to think of her lifesaver as a bad person and according to Xiao Kui, Ni Feng saved Baili Jia Jue more than once with a genuine-heart at that time, she had to say it,
Her appearance this time must be to lay down the Divine Exorcism Curse successfully to seal you in the Underworld completely. Although I don’t know why she had to come to the magical realm to search for you, I’m sure that she has an ill will in getting close to you.

Baili Jia Jue laughed upon hearing that. However, there was no warmth in his eyes. He raised his head and took a glance at her.
How about you? What’s the reason for you to get close to me?


So that you’ll follow me back.
Helian Wei Wei looked into his eyes and said in the most serious tone she could make.
Baili Jia Jue leaned forward suddenly and placed his thin lips on her ear. He said in his coldest tone,
You’re really not smart.


I’ve been murdered by your intelligence all the time.
Helian Wei Wei muttered to herself.
Unexpectedly, Baili Jia Jue’s face softened up,
You should speak less since you never know what’s appropriate to say.
He grabbed the fur bathrobe beside him and wrapped her in it. He then carried her out of the bathtub and rubbed her hair as if he was drying the fur of an animal.
Helian Wei Wei was unsure if he believed her words but she realized that he had been unusually patient to her today. He even took her out after he said that he would.
Instead of going to the Hall of Light for a walk, he took her with him and left the Pandemonium without the presence of any magical beast. He took her to a recreation center which was only available in the magical realm…
