Chapter 569: His One And Only

Hearing this, Baili Jia Jue casually placed the ancient scroll in his hand down, his black locks trailed down his shoulders in a careless manner, complementing his chiseled and refined features. He looked in her direction as he let out a dull sound of acknowledgment. His slender legs raised and his inky black hair was not as formal as it looked like when he was in public. Then, he commanded leisurely like he normally did, "Come here."

Yun Biluo was filled with joy on the inside but her expression did not show it at all as she pretended to be distant while she inched closer. Just as her body was about to lean into Baili Jia Jue's embrace...

The mood was ruined by a palace servant that entered.

"Your Highness."The servant held out a wooden tray with both hands, on top of which sat a pot of warmed Green Bamboo Leaf Wine and two white porcelain drinking cups, "This is the wine Your Highness requested."

Baili Jia Jue took a cup and toyed with it for a while. As he did so, his fingertips seemed to glow and his face that was bewitchingly handsome and prideful looked particularly captivating at this moment as he casually supported his head with one hand and swirled a cup with the other. He looked just like a wanton god from ancient times as he sat there with his narrowed eyes containing something resembling a smile gazed upon the person in front of him.

Yun Biluo was very tactful and had figured out the situation when she saw the two cups. Immediately, she reached out to take the remaining cup.

The servant placed the tray down respectfully and left the room.

Seeing as there were no more obstacles in her way, Yun Biluo's legs went weak as she prepared to use her old tactics.

However, she did not expect the man to suddenly stand up without any notice. Hence, she fell unceremoniously to the floor.

"Your Highness?" Yun Biluo lifted her gaze in confusion, a rush of anxiety pumping through her system. Has he recognized me?

Baili Jia Jue looked at her from above for a while before he slowly extended his hand, his long and narrow eyes as beautiful as the stars, "How are you so dense?"

He has not recognized me! Yun Biluo let out a sigh of relief subconsciously and prepared to place her hand in his palm.

However, he moved out of her reach, the stray hair on his forehead swaying slightly while the smile that he previously hung on his lips turned elegant yet bloodthirsty, like the Devil's Snare that bloomed along the banks of the River Lethe. It radiated a sense of indescribable evil, innately cold and imperceptibly wicked.

"It makes me sick when I see someone using this face to do something so st*pid."

Yun Biluo's eyes darted around as she took a step back instinctively, "Your Highness..."

"Where is she?" He looked at her coldly, baring his teeth in a manner that was still handsome and godly as his black robe encased his slender silhouette and he emitted an icy cold murderous aura!

The surrounding air suddenly whipped into a violent gale that could hurt the skin as it blew all around.

Yun Biluo had always known His Highness was a powerful man, forever elegant and refined, never easily provoked.

With a simple raise of his brow, he could even make mythological beasts quake in fear.

Thus, nothing good could befall anyone in his proximity when he was enraged!

Yun Biluo felt a sense of dread rush through her veins, even her voice was hoarse and unsteady, "Your Highness, what are you talking about? I don't understand." She moved backward as she continued in denial, thinking weakly that perhaps he was just testing her!

"You don't understand?" Baili Jia Jue took off the white gloves he wore and bent down maliciously. The dark was as bright as day to him with his eyes that could see in the dark. Now, it seemed as though they glinted with tinges of red. "Will you start to understand my question if I break one of your ribs?"

Yun Biluo looked at those eyes that were full of wickedness and her mind recalled the fire that had occurred once upon a time where he had gleefully murdered people with a smile on his face. In a flash, her scalp numbed with fear!

"I don't understand! Where did I go wrong?" I have been so careful! I have even imitated Helian Wei Wei's mannerisms down to her speech and even her gait.

Baili Jia Jue grasped her neck and laughed coldly, "You don't need to understand. Now tell me, where is she?"

"Y-Your Highness, cough, both of us know that you're just treating h-her, cough, as a replacement for Helian Wei Wei. She's not even the real Helian Wei Wei. If she doesn't leave then Helian Wei Wei can never return. Did you prevent the Soul Drawing Incantation of the eminent monks because the original Helian Wei Wei does not have feelings for you?" Yun Biluo's pallor became paler as she spoke, spending all her energy to squeeze out those few sentences, but she was still mad. She was infuriated at that woman's good fortune!

However, Baili Jia Jue did not even bother to give her a reply, instead, he put even more pressure into his fingers as if he wanted to choke her to death, "I will ask you one more time, where is she?"

Yun Biluo could no longer breathe, the tips of her toes barely touched the ground. She fixed her pointed gaze at him, "Your Highness, she is but a shadow of a person. If you really want Helian Wei Wei, you can let the real one return!"

"Do you not understand my words?" Baili Jia Jue lifted her with just one hand.

Under his nose, someone had dared to touch his prey.

Compared to the violent waves of rage he felt, his mind ran wild with an unspeakable terror and panic.

He really did not like the picture he was painting in his mind.

Thinking of the fact that the person who would always laboriously pick out snacks for him; throw her towel at him after a bath only to lie on his lap and let him dry her hair for her; leave quietly to the Hidden Spirit Temple herself and kowtow 9,999 times in order to reduce the burden of sins he carried would never return, he was so furious until he wanted to kill someone!

How dare she ask him what went wrong?

Ah, even when he was drenched in blood, that woman was the only one who was unafraid to approach him, she did not cower nor hide, and would even incessantly ask him if he was hurt!

Why, why did these people want to take the one thing that belonged to him!

Unforgivable!

It had only been a short while but it seemed like something had been completely ruined!

His fair and slender fingers grew out nails as sharp as knives. Then, Baili Jia Jue forcefully plunged his hands into Yun Biluo's heart!

Beads of fresh blood fell drip by drip.

Yun Biluo's eyes widened in disbelief as she gazed into the pair of eyes in front of her that no longer carried any sense of humanity, "You..you..."

The emotions brewing in his chest had exhausted his patience a long time ago. Baili Jia Jue reached out to push aside the dying Yun Biluo as he placed his index finger on his lips to make a shushing action. From his brilliantly red lips to his pale white skin, everything radiated a murderous aura full of despair and wickedness.

Following this, he stood up with his back perfectly straight and proud with an aura of nobility and arrogance filled the air as his long black robe drifted in the strong wind. He wiped away the fresh blood staining his fingers with disgust. In a flash, he ventured into the gloomy night like the black fog that loomed in the background. With every step he took, he left behind the sanguine scent of blood!
