Helian Wei Wei felt that His Highness was becoming increasingly disrespectful toward her.
They were right in front of the palace maids, but he still disciplined her. He simply did not care for her image at all!
This must not continue! Today, I would fight back!

I, uhm…

What is he doing!


Can he not interrupt me at such an important moment!
As Helian Wei Wei was complaining in her heart, Baili Jia Jue had already picked up a bun and put it near her mouth.
She initially wanted to refuse it adamantly. However, when the fragrant smell of bread reached her nose, Helian Wei Wei could not help but take a small bite. The filling was a mixture of mushrooms, meat, and even some shrimp. The dough of the bun was perfectly made and felt springy when chewed. Helian Wei Wei’s eyes brightened as she began to eat obediently.
Never mind, sooner or later, there would come a day when he would uncontrollably love her. Then, she would order him around!
This meat bun was quite delicious.
Helian Wei Wei very naturally enjoyed his servility, her eyes scrunching up with pleasure. While she was eating, her imagination ran wild. As she imagined asking His Highness to do something and him being too scared to refuse, her heart felt fully contented. She could not help but tightly grip her fists, pondering to herself. This would be the ultimate goal for the rest of my life!
A flicker of a smile sparked through Baili Jia Jue’s eyes when he saw it. Then, he extended his hands and moved closer toward her. She always seemed like a good little fox when she ate. When she sheathed her claws, her eyes shone brightly and she seemed so obedient. She did not even care that it was extremely intimate to eat the bun from his hand. Every time she opened her mouth and took a bite, her tongue would lightly brush against his fingers, which immensely pleased His Highness…
After finishing breakfast, Helian Wei Wei began to feel sleepy. She let out a yawn while still in his embrace. Her yawns were not like a cat but more like a dog, more specifically, like a husky. The fuzzy hairs on the top of her head were still upright, as usual of her.
Baili Jia Jue’s smile grew when he saw her in such a state. Then, he kissed his dear pet and carried her onto the bed again.
Helian Wei Wei thought that he would go about his own business after putting her to bed.


Unexpectedly, she was suddenly pulled into his fragrant embrace.
His fingers were drumming her back as he rested his chin on top of her head.
Helian Wei Wei found this very soothing and wrapped her arms around his waist. Then, she turned her face sideways as she breathed in that unique scent.

Go to sleep,
Baili Jia Jue ordered into her ear, his voice sounded very elegant and cold as usual. However, his movements were soft as he gently kissed her forehead.
Helian Wei Wei’s eyes were still closed. Every single time she entered his embrace, it would be a different feeling. As the sound of his steady heartbeats traveled into her ear and synchronized with her heartbeat, Helian Wei Wei felt a novel sense of peace.
While she was half-asleep, she suddenly heard someone reporting something outside.

Your Highness, the messenger of Xuanyuan Kingdom has entered the Capital.
Shadow had to muster up all his courage to say this, as no one dared to bother his Master at such a moment. Since Eunuch Sun was not there, the unfortunate responsibility had fallen into his hands.
Helian Wei Wei drowsily asked,
What’s the matter?

Baili Jia Jue patted her on the back as he coaxed her,
Nothing, go back to sleep.

The two strands of hair were still adorably sticking out on top of Helian Wei Wei’s head. However, she did not really register what was said. As her eyes became heavy, she turned to her side and instantly fell back into the dreamland.


Baili Jia Jue was displeased that she left his embrace, so he pulled her back and whispered,
Sleep here.

Helian Wei Wei liked sleeping together but she turned away as she sensed that he probably had something to do now. As she returned his unbelievably warm embrace, her eyes closed and she immediately fell asleep.
Shadow could not hear what was going on inside and did not dare to continue speaking so he continued to wait outside.
After Baili Jia Jue had coaxed her back to sleep, he opened the embroidered curtains, put on a pure black fur coat, and exited the chamber. He asked,
So, they’ve reached the Capital. What else?

Shadow said, his head bowed,
Our informants in the Capital say that the Princess of Xuanyuan has come with the Crown Prince of Xuanyuan as well. It seems that they might be planning something.


Alright, I understand.
Baili Jia Jue looked unfazed by the news. Appearing extremely regal as usual, he continued,
According to tradition, when the messenger has entered the Capital, tributes should be collected before any talks begin.

With lowered eyes, Shadow replied,
Understood.

When the messenger from the Xuanyuan Kingdom heard the reply, he scoffed to himself despite appearing courteous. This Third Prince really thought that the War Dragon Empire is still the same as it used to be, he even has the gall to ask for tributes.
When Elder Xu Wu heard this, he touched his beard and said,
It seems that we’ve overestimated the world’s greatest martial Qi master, Baili Jia Jue. He can win wars, but he seems clueless about diplomacy between nations. After we enter the palace tonight, he will realize how foolish it is to talk about tributes.

If Little Seven had heard these words, he definitely would have rolled his eyes at Elder Xu Wu. Why should Master be diplomatic? Neighboring countries meant nothing, as they were all merely vassal states to them. If they dared to be disobedient, they would be beaten to death. This was something that Third Brother had taught him from early on.


At nighttime, it began snowing heavily in the Capital. The tree branches were prettily adorned with snow and everywhere was covered in pure whiteness, even the sky and earth were one shade of white.
A few of the more conservative ministers felt greatly uneasy when they heard that the Third Prince asked for tributes. However, they did not dare to directly ask him and kept their anxiety to themselves. When the messenger from the Xuanyuan Kingdom arrived, they were exceptionally polite towards him.
Xiong Jing huffed loudly when he saw this. In his opinion, His Highness had made the right decision. Despite the current state of the Imperial Court, they should not seem like a pushover to others.
Inside the royal chamber, the palace servants were constantly carrying things in and out, but without seeming disorderly. They were all there to help Helian Wei Wei dress up for the day.

Princess Consort, you’re very beautiful,
the little palace maid said this with utmost sincerity, as she stared at Helian Wei Wei’s breathtaking reflection in the mirror. She was surprised by her fair, soft, and fragrant skin. Apart from her looks, she had a laidback air about her that none could imitate. When the Princess Consort turned to look at them she had that mischievous smile, as usual. As she raised her phoenix eyes, the onlookers’ heart began to race.
The little palace maid had no idea that Helian Wei Wei used to dress up boyishly in modern times, like a true mercenary tycoon and her flirting skills when courting the girls were simply next-level.
Otherwise…
