Chapter 653: The Visitors (Humiliation: Part 1)

“Since the deal has fallen through, then we’ll make Xuanyuan Princess give up forever.” Helian Wei Wei casually looked at her own wrists, as she flashed a bloodthirsty smile and ordered, “Go and tell her who Baili Jia Jue belongs to.”

“Understood.” The mercenary quietly said as he looked up to the sky. You wanted to do so from the very beginning, right? That nonsense about charging a fee is just a facade. It’s simply because you don’t want anyone else coveting the Third Prince.

Helian Wei Wei acknowledged this fact. After mulling it over, she believed that the Soul Fragments that she painstakingly recovered by traveling through time should be all hers. Others can peek or admire him, but openly challenging her like this was absurd. Did they think I’m an easy target?

The mercenary was still there. When he witnessed the vicious iciness in her eyes, he wondered what spectacle would happen at tonight’s banquet. Thus, he asked, “Should we ask the generals to gather here?”

“No need, it’s only called an instant kill if it’s done by one person. I can’t show my strength with a group of people.” Helian Wei Wei brushed off the suggestion.

The corners of his mouth twitched as the mercenary thought to himself. You used to say that you prefer to have more people on your side than the enemy as it would be easier to bully them? Now, look who’s acting all chivalrous.

“Blackie, don’t tell people that your Boss never taught you this.” Helian Wei Wei smiled at him and continued, “When you are chasing people, the most important thing is to seem cool. All of you people would just steal the limelight from me. Then, Baili Jia Jue will never know how cool I am.”

The mercenary was speechless...

Do you think the Third Prince is blind?

Also, I’m not called Blackie! Stop giving me random nicknames!

“Since you have time to teach your subordinates useless things, why don’t you be more obedient at night?” The subject of their conversations happened to walk in. Then, Baili Jia Jue grabbed Helian Wei Wei’s collar and he pulled her away from the window. His magnetic voice was somewhat displeased as he muttered, “It’s snowing outside, aren’t you cold?”

Helian Wei Wei touched her face but it felt fine and not too cold. Then, she said, “How can you look down on my methods of winning someone over. They are godly, alright?”

The man was evidently unbothered as he held her hands and pulled them into the folds of his inner clothes.

Helian Wei Wei shrieked, “It’s still daytime and you want to play dirty.”

“If you continue to act up, I will throw you out.” Baili Jia Jue’s voice was very monotonous, it was obvious this was not an empty threat.

When she noticed his icy stare, Helian Wei Wei stopped struggling and allowed her hands to be placed on his chest. As time passed, the palm of her hands became warmer, and her heart warmed as well.

The palace servants waiting outside witnessed the entire exchange. With their heads lowered, all of them were moved and jealous at the same time.

The only person that could make the Third Prince do such things was the Princess Consort.

However, His Highness cared for the Princess Consort like she was a child and was overly controlling. Nobody knew if this was good or bad...

As Baili Jia Jue lazily looked at Helian Wei Wei, his long narrow eyes seemed threatening as he warned her, “If I catch you standing by the window without a coat again, I’ll shatter these claws of yours.”

“Fine. I was just discussing something with Blackie.” Helian Wei Wei explained herself as she pulled her hands back, saying, “Don’t let them freeze you, don’t we have hand-warmers?”

Hearing this, Qing Zhan immediately placed a stove beside the duo.

But Baili Jia Jue did not reach for it. Instead, he continued to hold Helian Wei Wei’s wrists against his chest, letting them go after he had warmed them up. Then, he ordered the people outside, “Let’s go to the banquet.”

“Understood.” Their reply was resounding and echoed as one.

Plop...

The snow accumulated on the trees fell down and hit the golden tiled roof.

The palace was decorated with precious ornaments, the marble sparkling as it caught the rays of light, giving the place an air of mysterious solemnity.

All of these were only for the one seated on the dragon throne, Baili Jia Jue.

Compared to the previous Emperor who spent his years consuming elixirs, he emanated the aura of a true king: sophisticated, cruel, unfeeling, and even an evil charm.

Even while wearing a long fur coat, one could still see this sturdy back and his strong, refined muscles.

The pure aura of ancient nobility radiating from him was because of his refined elegance that was perfected through the years.

On the surface, Baili Jia Jue seemed nonchalant, but an undeniable aura would sweep over his features when he smiled. His strong chiseled features seemed as though he was born to rule over the abyss.

Slouched atop the dragon throne, he casually swirled a glass with one hand. Under the candlelight, he appeared exceptionally captivating.

Baili Jia Jue’s eyes narrowed when he heard that the messenger from Huangzi Nation and Yuanzong Nation had arrived. He did not take his eyes off of the glass, but elegantly raised it to his nose and took a whiff of it.

The exorcists were following behind the messengers, and when they saw Baili Jia Jue, they simply scoffed in their minds. They believed that the Third Prince was so unaware because he was totally ignorant. In their opinion, the only way the War Dragon Empire could survive was through a marriage of state. Otherwise, no matter how strong they are, everything would be doomed if today’s issue was not handled properly...

“Your humble servant represents Huangzi Nation.”

“Your humble servant represents Yuanzong Nation.”

“Greetings, Your Highness!”

The messengers placed their left hands onto their right shoulder, seemingly subservient. However, beneath the facade was an underlying duplicity.

For them, only the Fifth Prince of the War Dragon Empire could truly understand politics and the workings of the imperial court.

If the Emperor of the War Dragon Dynasty did not suddenly pass away, then this opportunity would never have fallen into the lap of the Third Prince.

Initially, they were quite wary of his status as the world’s greatest. However, it seemed that there was no need to be anxious.

Martial Qi and exorcism were two completely different things and were not related to the state affairs at all.

If the Fifth Prince was governing now, it would definitely not be like this now. He would be extremely polite and courteous, treating them as honored guests.

The previous Emperor’s death had destabilized the imperial court. Surely, angering the neighboring nations would be a terrible move.

Even though the present War Dragon Dynasty seemed the same from before, surely some troubles were brewing under this mirage of calmness.

The intention of the ministers was one problem, while the generals with military power were another.

The Third Prince must not have realized this if he was behaving recklessly like this.

When the people from the Xuanyuan Kingdom arrives, the Third Prince will realize that today’s visit is not as simple as the ones in the past!

The messengers were escorted by the palace servants to their respective seats. Both of them glanced at each other, faintly smiling with disdain that only they understood.

Helian Wei Wei witnessed this exchange from the back where she was seated. She subtly raised her eyebrows and tapped on the arms of the chair, as her languid posture exuded a strong air of mischief...
