Chapter 567: Replacing Wei Wei
"How can two people of different genders fall in love with each other?" the pretty little boy asked with conviction. "But, he refuses to acknowledge his true feelings. Sigh... this alluring boy is torturing me."
Helian Wei Wei was at a loss for words. It seems like you're the one who's torturing him instead. How old are you? You're too young to be troubled by your romantic life! I really want to meet this tough boy who hasn't been scared away by you.
"Fine. As a reward for your good judgment, I will grant you a favor." The pretty little boy pointed at the two-headed dog, which was not in good shape after the abuse, and said, "If you can beat First Canine and Second Canine, I'll let you go and send you back to the human world. However, if you lose the fight, you'll have to stay. You'll not be able to defeat the man in the human world if you fail to even win against First Canine and Second Canine. Consequently, you'll lose your life again and eventually trouble me to welcome you in the Underworld."
Helian Wei Wei focused her gaze as she answered in an indifferent and unvarying tone, "Sure."
"Then, let us begin now." The pretty little boy put on his usual evil grin.
Hearing that it could savor human meat, the two-headed dog was pumped up once again. It raised its claws and charged toward Helian Wei Wei!
Helian Wei Wei concentrated her gaze before she elevated into the air. The breeze formed air current and surrounded Helian Wei Wei.
But, the barrier was useless to protect her from the two-headed dog. The moment it opened its mouth, the fiery flame came soaring at her, threatening to burn her down to ashes.
Helian Wei Wei made a quick dodge before a ray of light was radiating from the bottom of her eyes. She began to manipulate the strength of the wind to spin herself in circles. Her motion was extremely fast, making it impossible for the two-headed dog to track her shadow, not to mention to attack her.
"She's on our left!"
"She's on our right!"
Following their instinct, the two dog heads launched themselves toward opposite directions. With strenuous effort, they charged toward left and right simultaneously and accidentally hurt their n*ts!
The ripping pain prompted the two-headed dog to let out an agonized cry. The two heads then recoiled and collided. Eventually, the creature felt lightheaded and fell on the floor.
But, they were not ready to admit their defeat yet. They scratched the ground with their claws, hinting that they were ready to attack again.
"You have embarrassed me!" The pretty little boy lifted the ax with one hand and pressed their heads against the floor with another hand. He lifted his gaze to look at Helian Wei Wei as he said, "You are considerably intelligent as you knew how to take advantage of First Canine and Second Canine's weaknesses."
Helian Wei Wei restrained her burliness and commented casually, "I have a pet dog too. All the canines are essentially dumb regardless of their sizes." In her opinion, the two-headed dog shared the same slow-witted nature as the Husky.
"Since you have won the fight, I will fulfill my promise to send you to the human world." The pretty little boy said as he grinned devilishly, "However, it's not guaranteed that you will regain your previous physical body. As long as the formation remains, if your soul fails to return to your body by midnight, your body will be occupied by another person. And, that is not the worst. If you cannot repossess your body, you will be burned down by the sunlight when the dawn breaks and will never be able to reincarnate! So, do you still want to go back to the human world?"
Helian Wei Wei answered with a smile, "Certainly. Someone is waiting for me there."
"Are you sure that the person is still waiting for you?" the pretty little boy made an ambiguous statement. Then, he dragged the two-headed dog to the side before he pointed at the passageway, that somewhat resembled a fireplace, with his chin, "You will reach the human world if you follow the passageway."
Helian Wei Wei squinted her eyes and called out, "Yuan Xiaoming."
Yuan Ming replied with a muffled voice, "There's no other issue. This passageway is indeed connected to the human world. The boy is the son of the King of Hell. He is in charge of the third level of hell. His mood is unpredictable but he has a rather good reputation as he never lies. In fact, his last piece of advice might be useful to you because you will not necessarily return to your own body after you go back to the human world."
"You often say that you can't read Baili Jia Jue's mind." Helian Wei Wei turned to look at him and asked, "What do you think are the chances for him to discover this formation?"
Yuan Min was caught off guard by the question. He paused briefly before he answered, "Maybe about 70 percent. He certainly does not act like a normal human."
"I disagree. I would say there is at least 80 percent of chance for him to notice the formation." Helian Wei Wei averted her eyes and continued, "We have agreed to meet up for a drink tonight and he will definitely come back to the room early. And if he doesn't see me, he will be suspicious and begin to investigate the matter. But..."
Yuan Ming wrinkled his brows, "But?"
"The son of the King of Hell said..." Helian Wei Wei's fingers froze. Only when she felt the chilliness on her finger, she spoke softly, "What if he's not waiting for me..."
A bang resonated across the atmosphere.
The fire in the center of the formation flared up and grew increasingly fiery.
A large carved ebony casket was placed beside the fire. Lying within the casket was none other than Helian Wei Wei who had lost her soul.
A man who was clad in white was overlooking her. With his long and slim fingers, he tucked her unkempt hair behind her ear. He put on a doting smile on his perfect face as he said, "Very soon, you will really wake up..."
"Master." Yun Biluo approached him with her long back hair cascaded down her back. She appeared different, no longer wearing clothes in soft colors. Today, she presented herself in a bright red dress, somewhat resembling a feisty queen.
The man in white threw a glimpse at her before he lightly brushed across Helian Wei Wei's face with his finger. Then, he made an inaudible mumble as he sunk his teeth into the tip of his finger. Using his own blood as ink, he drew a talisman and pasted it on Yun Biluo's body.
Yun Biluo was stunned. In a blink of an eye, her face began to transform. Her glossy eyes suddenly turned clear; her nose grew taller, and her complexion turned fair while her skin began to glow. She lowered her head briefly, but when she lifted her head up once again, her appearance had changed completely!
That was not the most shocking sight. The most staggering and eerie fact that sent a chill down everyone's spine was that Yun Biluo's new face was the exact duplicate of Helian Wei Wei's!
"Go ahead." Pleased with the outcome, the man in white said, "Haven't you always wanted to have Baili Jia Jue? Now, use all your feminine wiles to bring him to heel. At the very least, keep him tame for today and don't let him ruin our plan."
Yun Biluo stared at her reflection in the river before she turned to say, "But, to carry out the task with Helian Wei Wei's face. It's..."
"This is the best shortcut for you to make him yours." The man in white looked at her as he spoke, "With the current situation, you should understand better than anyone else that apart from Helian Wei Wei, he will never lay his eyes on any other woman. Your past is completely useless to move him in this circumstance. In order to win his heart, you can only utilize this face. Don't worry. Once you secure him tonight, he will only fall head over heels for you in the future. Does it matter whose face you're using now?"
Yun Biluo gently chewed on her lips as she listened to the man's coaxing. Seemingly determined, she put on a chilling smile on her face as she replied, "Of course, it doesn't matter! Without Helian Wei Wei's face, the stranded soul would not even earn a glimpse from His Highness. If she can use this face to indulge in the man's love and affection, so can I!"
