Chapter 605: Prey, His Highness

“If that’s the case, we should be careful when we speak in the palace to avoid others from prying information out of us.” Shadow furrowed his eyebrows. The situation of their hall was tougher than any other halls. Once they had said something wrong, other than being punished, they would also get His Highness into trouble. The last thing the Empress wanted to see was His Highness making mistakes. Taking today’s incident as an example, obviously, the servants of the Eldest Prince had gone too far for bullying His Highness, causing His Highness to counter-attack. Who knew the Eldest Prince would go to the Emperor. Upon hearing that, the Emperor would surely punish the Empress, resulting in her to be displeased. In the end, His Highness was the one to suffer the consequences…

Yun Biluo’s tiny head nodded in the affirmative. “It’s mainly not to let her discover that Your Highness went out at night. I am afraid that she will tail after Your Highness and eventually some of the things could no longer be concealed.”

Upon hearing this, Baili Jia Jue paused his hand which was holding the cloak, then he lifted his hand and put on his cloak again. His voice was calm, “I will take the measure of her. Both of you can dismiss yourself.”

“Alright.” Yun Biluo said reluctantly. They were used to rely on each other in difficulties so the sudden appearance of a woman made the situation a little awkward.

Moreover, she saw the fish soup prepared by the woman when she walked in this morning. The aromatic smell had certainly never been found in this palace before.

She also felt the urge to make some delicious food for His Highness, however, in addition to the fact that she was not a good cook, it was rather difficult for her to get ingredients from the Imperial Kitchen. Hence, she wondered how the woman could get it done. Yun Biluo found the other party increasingly dangerous as she thought about it more, thus, it was better to watch out for her.

However… the future Princess Consort?

Yun Biluo let out a mocking smile. His Highness only had the daughter of the Helian house in his eyes, so it would be impossible for him to take a liking to an aged woman who was eight or nine years older than him.

But, the Eldest Young Lady of the Helian family did not deserve the right to be their princess consort.

Over the past few years, only Shadow and she accompanied His Highness wholeheartedly. As for the superior Eldest Young Lady, she had never taken notice of His Highness.

That was fine.

Yun Biluo lowered her eyes and smiled faintly. In this case, His Highness could be hers…

The night turned darker outside the palace, and the moonlight fell and shone through a shadow.

The tiny shadow leaned against the wall with his emotionless eyes lifted, looking up at the mythical beast which was much taller than him.

The hair color of the mythical beast was fiery red as though it was burned in flames, appearing bright yet dazzling.

“Master, when are you releasing me?” The mythical beast felt wronged staying in the cage made exclusively for it. It pressed down a huge amount of Chinese cabbage with its claws. It could not withstand it anymore as it had been eating this for a total of seven days. Its only wish was for the little boy to let go of it and it would do anything for him in return. In fact, this place was impossible to trap him with its strength. However, the only thing that could trap him was the boy in front of him, its one and only master!

Baili Jia Jue sneaked a peek at it before voicing out nonchalantly, “I have only confined you for seven days.” No one knew that he hunted down a Fire Qilin as of now. He wanted to wait until his Imperial Grandfather returned and organized the Royal Family’s Hunting Activity. In due course, it would be the right timing.

“It has been seven days.” Fire Qilin shrieked with his head facing the sky. He then said, “Do those people still treat master as a useless prince?”

Baili Jia Jue curved his lips and handed over the leafy vegetables in his hand. His smile was elegant yet bloodthirsty. “The game has just begun.”

The mythical beast stared at the leafy vegetables before it, bursting into tears. “I’m not hungry, Master.” Once it burped, it could sense the smell of the leafy vegetables. What a bad memory!

The little boy seemed to be appealed to his better nature. He retracted his hand and used a handkerchief to wipe it as he said, “I found a rather interesting prey recently. I will lock her up with you when the time comes.”

“An interesting prey?” Fire Qilin’s eyes brightened. “Is it Sky-swallowing Beast?”

The little boy shook his head nonchalantly, “It’s not a mythical beast, it’s a woman.”

“Woman?” Fire Qilin revealed a facial expression as though it was struck by lightning. Which woman is so unlucky?

The little boy replied in the affirmative and continued, “She said she dislikes the lock so the chain at your place happens to be useful.”

Fire Qilin was speechless.

“Master, have you ever thought that she would dislike chains even more?”

Your habit of locking up everything like prey was really intolerable!

Not to mention that the other party was a woman. After the Pandemonium was destroyed, it would retrace its steps whenever it came across a woman…

However, based on his master’s personality, he would not care about other people’s thoughts. He would just tie her up and bring her over as he wished!

Nevertheless, Fire Qilin was caught off guard by the words uttered by the little boy who frowned as he said, “Which locking method do you think she will like?”

“She…probably will not like any…” Even the beast itself hated to be locked, let alone a human being.

The little boy listened with an indifferent expression. “As for this, I will have to communicate with her properly. She can’t say no.”

Fire Qilin was rendered speechless again.

What is the point of communicating! It is totally unnecessary!

In fact, Master has a strong urge to tie her up and bring her over, right?

“She seems to be unique in her own way, but fortunately she is not annoying.” The little boy tidied up his black gloves. “It will be real trouble if she is someone being sent over by the opponent. It will definitely take some time to lock her up.”

Fire Qilin paused his action for a bit. “Since her identity is unsafe, then it’s better not to make a move.”

“There’s no such thing as safe or unsafe.” The little boy lifted his eyes. His eyes were deep yet unsympathetic, and his elegant aura penetrated through his facial expression. By contrast, his voice was not high-pitched but it was memorable, “Kill the people who sent her over, and she will be mine.”

Upon listening to the little boy’s words, Fire Qilin squinted its eyes. According to its master’s temperament, if he found out that the woman betrayed him, it was afraid that not only did the people who sent her over would lose their lives, but the woman herself would probably die as well…

Its master’s viciousness did not weaken due to his loss of memory in his previous life.

Instead, he, as a human being now was more emotionally unstable than he was in the magical realm.

Although he was merely a little kid, he had started staining his hands with blood at a young age.

This was related to the environment he grew up, the Imperial Palace – a place which could make humans lose their humanity and demons lose their devilishness.

In the past, if one caught a glimpse of its master, that person would know that he or she needed to evade him.

In the present day, its master put on a perfect camouflage and under the camouflage, it was a deadly poison that was more dangerous than anyone else.

Unexpectedly, there was a woman who dared to approach him at this moment.

It was hard to imagine how this person would end up to be…
