After all, she had acted too slow.
Or perhaps someone else had acted too fast?
Even at this time, Helian Wei Wei was still rational. However, she also found herself not being as strong as what she had thought.
Looking at Ni Feng who was being escorted into the inner chamber by a huge crowd, Baili Jia Jue walked away.
Helian Wei Wei wanted to go after him. She was no longer trying to defend herself. All she wanted was to tell Baili Jia Jue to be careful.


Ni Feng threw herself over him as soon as the black mist rose!
This was simply impossible from the aspect of time!
Unless Ni Feng had known that someone would appear behind Baili Jia Jue!
Helian Wei Wei had no idea why her thoughts became clearer in a time like this.
Probably because she had known of the whole story since the beginning. Otherwise, she would not have found this suspicious.
Everything was planned out perfectly. It could be said to be flawless.
This made Helian Wei Wei feel more worried. She continuously addressed him with the title King.
However, he seemed to be sick of her. Without even looking back, his apathetic figure soon disappeared into the palace.
Helian Wei Wei had finally gotten rid of all the locks but the cage and magical beasts that were blocking her did not intend to let her leave.
At that moment, Helian Wei Wei clenched her fist and slammed brutally to the side as if she could only remain calm by feeling pain.


She finally understood how it felt to be one step behind.
That helpless feeling was something she could never change no matter how hard she worked for it.
What could be done?
What should she do next?
She was already running out of time.
What else could she do to get this Baili Jia Jue who barely knew her to leave with her?
Helian Wei Wei was at a loss for the second time. The first was when she found out that her father was being unfaithful…
Helian Wei Wei rested her forehead on her hand. She could not give up just like this!
Since she was able to pursue him back in the White Academy, she believed she could do the same here!
It was just that her rival was smarter.


She was a bossy president. As long as she revised on how to pursue a person later, she could definitely win over Baili Jia Jue’s heart tomorrow!
In the inner hall, Ni Feng was lying on the bed. Her face was pale and her eyes were fixed on the apathetic man who was not far away.
Even though he did not carry her back in person, things were going her way.
Clearly, someone would now put the blame on Helian Wei Wei.
Everything had been sorted out.
Ni Feng was still in pain. She grasped the comforter with her fingers. She came up with such a plan as it was her last resort.
At first, everything was going smoothly but Helian Wei Wei came out of nowhere and thus she acted hastily.
For the sake of every being in the world, she could only do so…

Does it hurt?
The voice of the man sounded like poison mixed with honey which was extremely pleasant to the ear but fatal at the same time.
Ni Feng could not see through his mind as his eyes were too cold and thus she only replied,
It hurts.



He then smiled. But, there was no trace of warmth in his smile. He was only showing his etiquette before everyone.
She once again experienced the sense of indifference the man portrayed before everyone.
At first, she thought that his elegance could only be seen by her. However, she soon realized that it was simply a trait of him being a demon.
He had been treating everyone like this. Just like now, he did not even touch her.
However, as long as she could strike up a conversation with him, it was already an improvement.
She believed that by saving him twice in a row, once accidentally and once intentionally, he could definitely not being able to forget her.Read the next chapter on our vipnovel.com
Baili Jia Jue did not say a word. He walked out of the room and returned to the Hall of Light after leaving a lot of people to look after Ni Feng.
Fire Qilin followed him respectfully. Upon seeing his cold eyes glancing at the previous spot, it immediately said,
Master, don’t worry. There won’t be any prey casually entering and leaving the Hall of Light again unless one day she willingly becomes your mount.

Baili Jia Jue slowly looked toward it. His gaze was extremely cold! All of a sudden, the surrounding air pressure seemed to have fallen.
Fire Qilin froze and did not dare to breathe heavily. Why did Master get angry for no reason…



From today onward, the portion of your dinner will be increased.
Baili Jia Jue laughed.
Fire Qilin knew him well enough to know that this was definitely not a good thing and immediately replied,
Master, I’m having a decent meal for dinner. There’s no need to increase the portion. There’s really no such need!


You have been working so hard for me. How can I not reward you?
Baili Jia Jue spoke slowly,
It seems like you are sick of eating beef. You should change your taste. Eat 5 kg of radish every night and don’t come to see me if you don’t finish it. Should teach you a lesson so that you won’t simply allow anyone to enter the Hall of Light…

Fire Qilin was rendered speechless.
He’s venting his anger on me!
He’s definitely venting his anger on me!
In order to avoid his Master from getting angrier, Fire Qilin quietly took the fur coat which he had placed on the sandalwood table with its claw and decided to settle it in private.
However, it was caught on the spot by Baili Jia Jue and his gaze was really cold.
Fire Qilin straightened his waist and said,
Master, since Miss Ni is suffering from excessive blood loss from saving you, she will inevitably feel cold. This cloak looks thick and it just comes in handy.


You’ve gotten smarter.
Baili Jia Jue raised the corner of his thin lips as if he was smiling.
Fire Qilin thought it sounded like praise, somehow something did not feel right!

Add another 500g of radish for dinner,
Baili Jia Jue said with a sneer on his face. He made a mirthless smile and looked toward the cloak coldly,
I’m rewarding you for being clever.

Fire Qilin cried!
Such a reward was unnecessary!
Baili Jia Jue spoke again. There were no ripples in his expression,
Add a few more comforters for the injured woman.


Yes.
Fire Qilin let out a sigh of relief. He was finally back to normal, phew…
The incident that Ni Feng had saved Baili Jia Jue from the attack soon spread across the magical realm.
Although demons had no humanity, they preached morality and justice. Seeing Ni Feng made such a move, they began to accept her from the bottom of their hearts.
Helian Wei Wei was not in a good situation. Perhaps all the magical beasts had gone to serve Ni Feng and thus her dinner was forgotten.
She could hear footsteps occasionally. They were all talking about how Ni Feng who was in the inner hall was being valued.
Helian Wei Wei looked at the wound on the back of her hand. She felt tired and her chest seemed to feel tight. She was a little out of breath.
The Pandaemonium would be extremely cold at night.
After all, Helian Wei Wei was a human. Owing to the reason that she had skipped her dinner and her current physical condition, she eventually could not resist her body instinct. She vaguely recalled how Baili Jia Jue used to feed her and she fell asleep without realizing. She curled her body in the cage, looking like a little injured fox. She finally revealed the most vulnerable part of herself…
