Chapter 673: Helian Wei Wei And His Highness Displaying Their Affections

“Your Highness!” Xuan Bing let out a final cry his lips right before the Alsatian bit him in his throat.

At this moment, not a single part of Xuan Bing’s body was unhurt. Before his death, he recalled how he used to treat the Alsatian brutally. At that time, he did not stop after he broke the Alsatian’s left leg with a wooden stick and proceeded to injure its tendon with a sword. If it was not for that, the Alsatian’s leg would have already regrown. Now, he had to pay for it. Half of his left leg had been bitten off by the Alsatian. Even if the Alsatian did not attack him again, he would bleed to death within half an hour.

Xuan Bing lay in a pool of his own blood. His pale lips were constantly shivering as he let out a heart-rending wail.

He knew he could no longer be saved as both the elder and the Crown Prince had given up on him.

The only being who did not give up on him was the Alsatian.

Yet, he tortured it to death.

Humans were only remorseful when they were on the brink of death.

However, it was all too late for Xuan Bing to make any changes at this moment. He could only watch as the four reapers extracted his soul with an iron chain, locked it firmly and left without looking back!

The ministers were unsure if it was their imagination but they had a feeling that the reapers were trying to run away.

It can’t be.

We must have made a mistake.

Haha. How can the reapers be afraid of humans?

Unbeknownst to them, the reapers were engaged in a discussion under their breaths.

“Youngest brother, can you take a look behind our back and check if the Great Demon King has caught up with us?”

“Eldest brother, please do not scare me! I’m timid!”

Helian Wei Wei, who understood the entire situation, remained silent.

Although the bloodstains on the walls of the Great Hall appeared distressing, after listening to the reapers’ words, the audience were certain that Xuan Bing’s end was the ramification of his own evil deeds.

At this point, the results of the competition seemed more than obvious.

Helian Wei Wei had achieved absolute victory!

10 reapers!

Not only had she summoned them, she even made them speak!

The ministers of the War Dragon Dynasty were apparently amused as they stared at Helian Wei Wei as though she was their heroine.

Even the old minister, who previously knelt before Baili Jia Jue and suggested the marriage of convenience, lowered his head and apologized to Helian Wei Wei, “Lord Yu and I beg for Third Princess Consort’s pardon as we made things difficult for you earlier. We were just… we were really just trying to do our best to protect our nation and the people.”

“Both of you have been serving the empire for three generations. Not only that, you work for the Retired Emperor. You did not put me, but the Third Prince, in a difficult situation. Indeed, we should always be humble and polite toward the messengers who hailed from the neighboring countries. However, being modest doesn’t suggest that we have to give in. As the strong and independent War Dragon Dynasty, do we really have to resort to the marriage of convenience to sustain our nation’s pride? Ministers, you should understand that a great man fights when it is time to fight. That is how you should serve the emperor! It is not hard to understand His Highness. He genuinely appreciates your contribution to the nation. So, please do not disappoint him. Remember this. The man who provokes the War Dragon Dynasty, though far away, we shall vanquish!” Helian Wei Wei’s words were bold yet graceful. The audience were uplifted and especially moved by her last statement. “The man who provokes the War Dragon Dynasty, though far away, we shall vanquish!”

All the present generals throw their arms into the air before they made a loud cheer!

This was the prestige and power the War Dragon Dynasty was supposed to carry!

A long time ago, there was a saying that went like this.

We are a great country.

Our upbringing tells us not to steal, not to mug, and not to invade.

However, it does not signify weakness and incompetence.

Once you dare to point your sword at us.

Rest assured that we will fight you until you rue your decision!

Baili Jia Jue sat in the main seat with dozens of shadow guards standing behind him. He rested his face on his left hand lazily while he stretched his right arm toward Helian Wei Wei, like a domineering king.

The two visitors from the neighboring country were intimidated and scared. This was only the second round of the competition, and they were already regretting their decision to conspire against Baili Jia Jue. The messenger’s original plan was great, as there was no exorcist in the War Dragon Dynasty and none of its people had learnt about the Art of Yin and Yang. Furthermore, Baili Jia Jue was perpetually unfavored by the emperor. A prince who could not socialize and build rapport would definitely be unfamiliar with political affairs. This was undoubtedly the best timing for them to take action.

Unfortunately, it did not turn out as what they expected. Not only did the War Dragon Empire successfully avoid any internal strife, the people of the nation seemed to be more united than the time when the Emperor was in power, owing to Baili Jia Jue’s brutal and ruthless leadership style. Anyone who expressed his or her dissatisfaction would, in no time, be arrested and beheaded.

On top of that, the woman he had married was simply too incredible!

In this contest, Xuanyuan Dynasty only suffered such a humiliating defeat because of Helian Wei Wei’s contribution!

Not only had she mastered the art of exorcism, but she also knew how to appreciate and utilize every talent around her!

With her influential words, it was impossible for the War Dragon Dynasty to not unify!

Liu Yu’s and Wu Jing’s eyes sparkled as they exchanged looks before their gazes landed on the charming couple who perched on the Dragon Throne.

The seat was only meant for the Third Prince.

Meanwhile, Miss Helian was the only one who was worthy of sitting beside the Third Prince!

Other than Helian Wei Wei, all the other women seemed to be not good enough for His Highness.

Only the easy-going Helian Wei Wei could make a perfect fit for the graceful yet cold prince!

“Are you stealing the people’s hearts again?” Baili Jia Jue gave Helian Wei Wei’s hand a playful little pinch.

Helian Wei Wei reciprocated by extending her other hand and replied mischievously, “Pinch my right hand too. I’m not stealing anyone’s heart. I am clearly helping you fend off unwanted sources of affection. In the future, please wear a mask to conceal your irresistible face when you go out. Fending off others’ affections is hard work, and you ought to be paying me.”

“Pay you?” Baili Jia Jue pulled her closer. His voice was fruity and low as he spoke, “Haven’t I been paying you every night? Does my lady feel that I haven’t been paying enough?”

Nonsense!

Helian Wei Wei felt a tingling sensation under his warm breath and her legs instantly turned to jelly. This man knew far too well about her weaknesses, which was absolutely detestable!

Baili Jia Jue forcefully hauled her into his embrace as if they were not under the eyes of the others.

“You…” Knowing that it was pointless to question His Highness, Helian Wei Wei simply tilted her face and buried herself into Baili Jia Jue’s arms.

Go ahead and hug me as much as you want, she thought. After all, she would not be the one who got nagged by the ministers.

In reality, as ruthless as he was, the Third Prince had never once cared about these ministers, including the two senior ministers from earlier. If it was not for the little thing in his arms who wanted to spare their lives, with his temper, he would have ordered for them to be executed.

He was aware that this little thing simply did not want him to kill too many.

Baili Jia Jue let out a chuckle and ran his fingers along Helian Wei Wei’s silky, long hair in a gentle and graceful manner as if he was caressing his pet’s fur.

At birth, he was already bestowed with such exquisite beauty. However, as the corner of his lips hooked up into an alluring smirk, it felt as if the first snow had melted. All the ministers in the hall were astounded by the scene.

They had never seen such a gentle smile on the Third Prince’s face!

Zongzheng Yu Er were extremely jealous and bitter!

Why? Why is the Third Prince biased toward this woman?
