Helian Wei Wei stared at him and said, “You killed him, didn’t you?”

The little boy looked at Helian Wei Wei for a second and covered up his injured left eye. He laughed and taunted subtly, “What if it was me? So what? You think that I’m not the cute, naive Little Prince who was always bullied by others anymore, but an evil monster, right? So, are you afraid of me now?”

Helian Wei Wei looked at his little hand that was tightly grasping the towel and gave out a long sigh, “I’m just simply asking, I didn’t think that much into it. Furthermore, I have never felt that you are naive either.”‘Naive’ totally did not match him at all, he should have known how deceitful himself was when he looked in the mirror every day.

The little boy had never thought that he would get such a reply and was stunned for a moment. He started to mumble as he felt the warmth from her hands, “Are you really not afraid of me?”

“What is there to be afraid of?” Helian Wei Wei asked him as she took his towel. “Stop rubbing your hand, it might bleed again. Well, you are still young, it’s better for me to do things that involve taking lives next time.”

The little boy looked at Helian Wei Wei, reached out his slender finger to touch her forehead and said, “Silly.”

Helian Wei Wei, …Wait a minute, let me look up my dictionary! Why was he not touched by her actions in this situation and followed her back immediately? Why would he insult her instead!

The little boy was really happy though, he kept on smiling while he was eating. “Follow me to your accommodation later. You can move it into the royal chamber tomorrow.”

“Oh…” Helian replied absentmindedly. She did not care where she would stay, she just wanted to take him with her.

When they arrived at the back of the mountain, Helian Wei Wei was stupefied!

“This…” Did she really have to stay in a cage?

Furthermore, the thing that was locked beside the cage was too familiar to her!

“Fire Qilin, why are you here?” Helian Wei Wei immediately felt like she had asked a silly question right after she finished her sentence. Fire Qilin was so loyal to Baili Jia Jue that it would definitely appear anywhere Baili Jia Jue was. Besides, the reason the Emperor went out late the night before was most probably Fire Qilin… Now, everything could be explained. Fire Qilin was in the palace to begin with, it must have been instructed by Baili Jia Jue to appear there.

Fire Qilin had lived so long that it had met countless women before, but it only remembered one or two of them.

Helian Wei Wei was one of them. It could still recall how brave and daring Helian Wei Wei was back in the Pandemonium…

Yet, a human’s lifetime was limited and a few hundred years had pa.s.sed, how could she still look exactly the same as before?

“Are you a human or a demon?” This was the Fire Qilin’s first sentence to Helian Wei Wei.

“You two know each other?” Baili Jia Jue raised his eyebrows.

“Yes, Master…” Fire Qilin then narrated the past to him.

None of them noticed the smile on the boy’s face disappearing slowly as he listened to the stories.

Helian Wei Wei did not say anything unnecessary and cut straight to the point, “Since you are here, things are much easier. If I’m not mistaken, you are still looking for His Highness’s Soul Fragments and you should be able to recognize this red rope.”

Helian Wei Wei raised her left hand as she talked.

Fire Qilin was surprised and seemed to be reminded of something when it saw the red rope. “No wonder I couldn’t find it… His Highness has left his Soul Fragments in the past…”

“You’re right,” Helian Wei Wei smiled as she turned around to face the boy standing beside her, touched his head and said, “Now you can trust that I didn’t lie to you, right?”

But things were not going as she imagined. The little boy started to laugh awkwardly, “This is the reason why you were being nice to me. I’m just a fragment to you.”

Helian Wei Wei was startled by his reply, “It’s not like what you think.”

“Then what?” The little boy lifted his eyes and removed her hand from his head indifferently, “You just want me to follow you back.”

Helian Wei Wei could not refute him, as it was all true.

As the little boy could not get the answer he wanted, his lips started to turn pale and his head started to ache. He must have stood in the wind for too long last night.

What was it all for? She did not even want to stay.

He thought that finally, there was someone who… Ah…

The little boy bit his lips, his imagination was too wonderful.

But still, he hoped that there was some warmth, even just a little.

Because being alone was too cold…

“Will you stay if I don’t follow you back?” The little boy asked with a hoa.r.s.e voice. He always thought that she was fooling him with those words, but now, he knew that she might disappear someday later. He gasped for air, and his chest ached, “I will chase away Yun Biluo and set you free. If you like mature guys with power, I can do it as well. Just give me a little bit more time. So, could you please stay and don’t go?”

Helian Wei Wei looked at the little boy and shook her head reluctantly. “I cannot stay. You will no longer be awake if I promised to stay,” her throat ached as she spoke.

“So, you have to go no matter what?” She would still leave even after all his begging?

He did not know how to describe that feeling, he just wanted to stay still and do nothing.

He stood still and looked at the golden cage with a blanket laid inside…

This golden cage was specially made for her.

He knew that she loved gold a lot, so he took out all the rewards given to him by his Imperial Grandfather just to decorate this cage for her.

The most comfortable blanket was laid inside the cage, and he even placed a night illuminating pearl inside.

He thought that she would be happy, she might even lean over to kiss him on his eyes with her sheepish smile.

However, after arriving here, all she did was talk to the Fire Qilin. She did not even bother to take a look at the cage.

His heart ached so much that he felt like he was suffocating. He never thought that he would experience this feeling in his life.

Now, he knew what that felt like.

It was just like riding a roller coaster, there were ups and downs. Finally, when it came to a rest, a sense of emptiness would kick in.

He was just like the golden cage, decorated nicely and presented to her full of joy.

But, she had cast him aside casually, all she wanted was to take him back with her…

Fire Qilin had noticed Baili Jia Jue’s fluctuations and stopped the conversation at once, “Let’s talk about this next time. Now, the Empress will definitely look for you as something had happened to the Eldest Prince. Your Highness, you should go back with Lady Wei Wei first.” Fire Qilin said while hinting Helian Wei Wei with a wink.

Helian Wei Wei understood Fire Qilin’s worry. They were both afraid that Baili Jia Jue would turn evil earlier than expected.

Her heart hurt more than anyone else when she saw the lonely look of the little boy. She had almost promised him to stay.

But, she could not do that…
