Chapter 547: What Is Little Seven's True Identity?

Yuan Ming was intrigued by what she said, "What are you going to do?"

"We will utilize their presence to amplify the case that is happening in the Imperial Palace. Then, only will the case be investigated in a detailed manner," Helian Wei Wei said as she played with the ring on her finger. "However, I reckon that this case is not as simple as it seems."

"Indeed, it's not that simple." Whitey jumped to the front of Helian Wei Wei and said in a chilly tone, "I went to the river that Eunuch Sun mentioned. The aura of resentment is very prominent. The bottom of the river has turned red because of the blood. Based on the Eight Trigram of Five Elements, the sun is Yang, water is Yin. Now that someone has died in the water, it has formed an ominous array." Followed by that, it leaped forward, "Look over there."

Helian Wei Wei followed Whitey's gaze. She squinted upon seeing what was lying ahead of her. "The fish are dead."

Overhearing Helian Wei Wei's words, Eunuch Sun chimed in, "Ah, let's not talk about it. We don't know what is going on, but, for the past few days, the fish have been dying in groups."

"It's probably a result of the poor quality of water." Helian Wei Wei withdrew her gaze and waved her hands to beckon the little one over.

The Little Seventh Prince was eating the meat buns attentively. When he noticed Helian Wei Wei's signal, he walked toward Helian Wei Wei with footsteps that went pitter-patter. He lifted his gaze and said in a smug tone, "Third Aunt, do you want to beat someone up? Let's go!"

Flustered, Helian Wei Wei was at a loss for words. He only knows how to beat people up other than eating. Is this really good for him?

"No. I only want to advise you to never eat fish that are floating in the water but you can eat all the other fish. Do you understand?" Helian Wei Wei bent down to look at the little one in the eyes. Her gaze was brimming with love and affection.

The little one took a glance at the lake before he turned to look at Helian Wei Wei. With a serious expression on his face, he replied, "Yes, I know. These fish smell really funky and the stench can be smelled from afar. The third Brother told me a long time ago to not touch anything that stinks."

"Do they stink?" Whitey flared its nostrils, trying to sniff around. Then, it gently closed its silver cat eyes. How come I can't detect the smell?

Logically, its sense of smell should be better than a child's...

Meanwhile, Yuan Ming let out a laugh as he put on a malevolent expression, "The Little Seventh Prince seems to be an interesting boy. Don't you think so? "

Whitey raised its head. It narrowed its cat eyes into a thin line. "Do you know about any undisclosed information? Is he one of you? "

"I do know a little bit more than you." Yuan Ming laughed wickedly, "That bit of knowledge assures you that he's not one of us. What I know is that he is not one of us. He does not carry any trace of magic."

Whitey was faintly suspicious of Yuan Ming's statement. "What is he if he's not a magical beast?"

"Regardless of his identity, Woman has always let her guard down when she's around him. She loves and cares for him like her own baby. I guess we can stop watching him so closely." Yuan Ming looked at his reflection in the lake and heaved a long sigh, "I am getting increasingly attractive."

Helian Wei Wei walked toward them, threatening to burn the ancient book. "Attractive man, can you tell me what do you know? What is Little Seven's true identity?"

"Hey!" Yuan Ming jumped with fright and flew out of the flame. "Let's discuss this in peace. Please don't always threaten me."

Helian Wei Wei put down the ancient book. With her arms crossed, she raised her eyebrows as she commanded succinctly, "Spill it out."

"I am only speculating." A hint of mischief was painted across Yuan Ming's grin. "As a young boy, he is unusually strong. His sense of smell is also very sensitive, even better than Bai Ze's descendants. Since the moment he was born, his body has always been filled with vital energy. None of the devil and monster can corrode his soul Other than the mythological beast, I cannot think of any other creatures that possess these traits."

Helian Wei Wei wrinkled her thin brows and responded, "You're saying that Little Seven is not a human, but a beast? "

"Mythological beasts have their human forms as well," Whitey spoke with a mellow voice. "We have two basic forms, namely the beast form and the human form, and we will usually present ourselves in the more appropriate form according to the circumstances. However, I find it strange that I cannot detect the aura of the mythological beast in him."

Yuan Ming continued as the sinister grin remained on his face. "You fail to detect its aura only because it is extremely omnipotent. It can even bite off the thick skin of the Fire Qilin. What do you think it is? "

"You think it is..." All of a sudden, Whitey suddenly lifted its gaze to look at the little boy who was squatting at the side as he played with the ants. "No, that's utterly impossible! Back then when the Divine Exorcism Seal was applied and the man vanished, even the Ksitigarbha failed to pacify it. They had then risked everything to summon the Flame of Hell in order to hunt it down and kill it. Consequently, it was engulfed by the flame. Am I wrong?"

Yuan Ming chuckled, "Who can prove an incident that happened many years ago? Moreover, it's unlike the Fire Qilin. Even the Fire Qilin, which was inseparable from the man, rarely appeared in public unless the man was in peril. Everyone said that the Fire Qilin was the leader of the four grand mythical beasts only because it was usually forgotten by the people. Come to think of it, it stood by the man for the longest time, yet it was the most difficult one to deal with. Otherwise, why did Ksitigarbha fail to pacify it even with his powerful strength? "

"But, how did it transform into a child?" Whitey looked at the little one doubtfully.

Inevitably, Helian Wei Wei overheard their conversation. She said nonchalantly, "Maybe it didn't transform into a child."

"That's right. No one says that it has to undergo transfiguration." Yuan Ming's eyes lit up. "Its human form can possibly be a child. Therefore, only the person, who doesn't acknowledge the existence of gods and demons, spoils it abundantly."

Helian Wei Wei continued emotionlessly, "None of these are important. What matters is that Little Seven's skills are remarkable compared to normal human beings. However, he doesn't have complete control over it. In the future, both of you need to keep an eye on him. Do not let the four great elders discover him."

"It's not necessary for us to watch him." Yuan Ming looked at woods on his right, "Your man has done a good job in protecting the boy. I'm certain that the boy has shown his ability way earlier. His ability has not been deliberately magnified and utilized because your man has strategically handled and contained the circumstances. The situation has only gotten out of hand because of the immense aura of resentment that was lingering around the palace. It's similar to when someone attempted to tame the dragon god with the aura of resentment in the White Academy. However, this time, the attack doesn't seem to be targeted at him..."

Noticing that Helian Wei Wei had been standing at the same spot for a long while, the little one picked up his ears and yelled, "Third Aunt, I've finished the meat buns!"

Helian Wei Wei turned to look at him and replied with a smile, "Come here. I need to wipe your hands before you can eat the second one."

"Alright!" The little one gave a firm nod before he obediently extended his little hands.

Helian Wei Wei giggled. She held the little one's hand and wiped them clean with her handkerchief. Then, she split the meat buns into two and handed him half of the meat bun. "Don't overeat. I will make black pepper beef for supper later."

"Beef!" The little one's eyes beamed with joy. With a roguish face, he began to search for something all over his body.

Initially, Helian Wei Wei was puzzled, not knowing what he was looking for.

She got the answer when he took out a snake from his pocket and tossed it aside arrogantly. Bewildered, Helian Wei Wei massaged her temple. "Little Seven, why did you catch this venomous creature? "
