Chapter 447: Concerning The Future Little EmperorTranslator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Something unexpected happened.

The words that came out of Helian Wei Wei’s mouth was, “But, I like it! Do teach me when you have time. I don’t think that I’m smart enough compared to you.”

Baili Jia Jue raised his glance and saw a tiny face with a determined expression. He relaxed his pale fingers and could not restrain his laughter. His laughter insinuated traces of treachery. “You’re saying that your mind is not smart, then how will you be able to learn? Well, even if you are a little st*pid, that is a good thing. That way, it will eventually be balanced out when you give birth to a son.”

Helian Wei Wei thought to herself. In other words, was he trying to say that she was responsible for the deteriorating intelligence of the entire family?

“If you want to balance it out, then it’s fine with me. I am not going to argue with you.” Helian Wei Wei lay back lazily. She thought of something and laughed, “I seem to prefer cats recently.”

Baili Jia Jue knew what she was trying to say. His thin lips moved slightly, extending deeply and slowly as if he was lengthening his pitch on purpose.

“Meow…”

That voice was so soothing that it almost impregnated one’s ears.

Helian Wei Wei looked at Baili Jia Jue’s face, he had a faint smile on his face, which reminded her of evil deacons in comic books.

She even had some suspicion toward him.

Are there any demon genes in His Highness’ body?

Or else, why would she constantly sense an elegant demeanor that was both strong and dark coming from someone who looked pure and innocent?

“He cannot be a demon,” said Whitey who was in the Fantasy Space after detecting Helian Wei Wei’s thoughts. “If he is a demon, there is no way that I cannot detect it.”

True, a sacred being was excellent in detecting the presence of a demon.

It might be hard to detect it if a sacred being was further from it, but it was impossible for them not to detect it when they were so close.

Helian Wei Wei yawned and engaged telepathy with Whitey lazily. “That was just a random thought.”

“That might not be true.” Yuan Ming, however, laughed maniacally at this moment. “For a powerful demon, it would not be easily detected by others if it disguises itself. However, if it is born in the Royal Family, the chance of entering the Magic Path is minimal. But, the strange thing is that I found out that the Retired Emperor of the Royal Family was worried that the Third Prince will enter the Magic Path since the beginning. Hence, there are still matters that we don’t know within the Royal Family. As for you Wei Wei, if you do not want to witness the Third Prince losing his humanity one day, you can think of ideas to reduce his committed sins in order to help him. He had murdered too many civilians. From a practitioner’s perspective, one will definitely be a demon one day if he murdered thousands of civilians with his own hands. From what I know, there were thousands of civilians who were murdered by him. His body that contained the scent of human blood has become more pungent ever since you are in contact with him. However, the scent has unknowingly balanced out when he is hugging you. I have never met such a unique person, who is both intriguing yet deadly.”

After Helian Wei Wei heard what Yuan Ming said, her sight darkened. “What do you mean by intriguing yet deadly?”

“What I meant is, if one day he were to fall into the Magic Path, no one can really stop it from happening.” Yuan Ming curved the bottom half of his thin lips. From the looks of it, he seemed eager for such a possibility to happen.

Helian Wei Wei wrinkled her fine eyebrows and met Baili Jia Jue’s eyes. Out of the blue, a phrase that she saw somewhere appeared in her head.

That phrase went as followed:

If I become a Buddha, there will be no demons in the world.

If I become a devil, what can Buddha do to me?

Baili Jia Jue’s existence was perfectly represented by this phrase.

It was as if he was standing there, supposedly looking down on the commoners, living in his luxurious life while being out of touch with reality.

At his best, he was respectable and kind with his hands holding a booklet, seemingly flipping the ancient scrolls of the Buddhist scriptures.

At his worst, he was treacherous and dangerous with his thin lips slightly curved. He would engage in mass murders excessively, which he found enjoyable.

Helian Wei Wei was not worried about Baili Jia Jue’s descent to the Magic Path, but she was rather worried about Yuan Ming’s prophecy of Baili Jia Jue losing his humanity.

Her mind started thinking. When she was free for a few days, she would pay a visit to the Hidden Spirit Temple.

Baili Jia Jue naturally did not know that she had made such a decision. His mind was still occupied with something else. His soft voice had pulled her train of thoughts back to reality, “Do you hate the idea of me becoming the emperor?”

“It is not a matter of whether I like or dislike the idea.” Helian Wei Wei took his hand and placed it on her palm to play with it. “In the past, I thought that it was troublesome. If you were to become the emperor, you will be on the throne while owning three thousand beauties in your palace. I will never want to share you with other women. However, the reality is right in front of you. If you do not become the emperor, let’s not worry about the other people, the Emperor and the Fifth Prince will not tolerate you. So, whatever you want to do, just go for it, I will help you fight your first battle.”

Upon hearing that, Baili Jia Jue’s heart was slightly touched. He hugged Helian Wei Wei and asked her softly, “You dummy, we still have the Little Seventh Prince, right?”

“The Little Seventh Prince would never want to be the emperor.” Helian Wei Wei curved her thin lips slightly. If he became the emperor, he would have already severely depleted the treasury of the country from eating. Furthermore, he had the habit of simply declaring wars with other people. The thought of letting him sit on the throne is no laughing matter.

Baili Jia Jue slowly opened his mouth and said, “It is his responsibility to help out with the burden of his elder brother.”

Is being an emperor a burden?

Helian Wei Wei was frustrated. “Don’t you like having power over the country in your hands?” A man such as Baili Jia Jue would never dislike the sensation of ruling the country.

“There are many ways to gain power over the country. Being the emperor is not the only way to do so.” Baili Jia Jue’s tone was slow as if he was narrating a fact, “When the time comes, I will just be a regent to the emperor, which is enough.”

Helian Wei Wei finally understood something. His Highness had no intention of becoming the emperor from the beginning.

There was a truth to his decision – being an emperor was bothersome. He had to listen to long-winded suggestions of the officials. When he wanted to do anything, he would need to follow the rules set up by the ancestors. An example would be when he needed to choose which concubines to enter the palace. In the past, the handpicking of the palace’s concubines had sown discord between the emperor and the empress.

If he was only a regent to the emperor, it would be a lot simpler. Everyone in the country, including the emperor, would have to listen to him.

He would not need to wake up early to attend the morning meetings, nor he would need to listen to the complaints of the commoners…

When the time comes, the Little Seventh Prince would be the one bearing with all of these torments.

Treacherous, extremely treacherous!

Helian Wei Wei told Baili Jia Jue her own evaluation of the situation.

“Who do you think I do all of this for?” Baili Jia Jue said and embraced Helian Wei Wei from behind, pulling her to the couch. His fine fingers were busy touching Helian Wei Wei at this moment.

Helian Wei Wei saw that the sky on the outside was still bright. She was about to stand up, but her wrist was grasped by Baili Jia Jue. She had no choice but to reason with him, “It’s only past noon. If something big happens, the officials are bound to meet you. What if someone enters…”

“Let them wait then.” Baili Jia Jue’s eyes were filled with serenity and calmness. He planted a kiss on Helian Wei Wei’s panicky face. His fingers lightly glided down her body, feeling the fineness that his fingers brought to him, leaning over to Helian Wei Wei’s ear and laughed deeply, “What matters could be more important than the extension of the ancestral line of the imperial family, huh?”

Upon hearing these few words, Helian Wei Wei’s ear was instantly burning. Seeing that his fingers were sliding into her body, it shivered in response. ” Stop… there are people outside. They can hear what is going on…”
