Chapter 597: The Second Soul Fragment

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

The weather was freezing cold, so cold that even her puffs of breath were visible. The landscape was engulfed by winter, blanketed by a vast white expanse.

Helian Wei Wei was standing in the middle of it all, feeling slightly disoriented. Is this… the imperial palace?

Snowflakes spiralled down gracefully around her, dancing in the north wind, alighting on the marble stairs like blooming dandelions. Palace maids and eunuchs could be seen walking to and fro in the palace.

It was indeed the imperial palace.

But the question was, why was she here?

Did she return to her original world?

No, that’s impossible!

According to Fire Qilin, after collecting a Soul Fragment, she would proceed to the location of the next Soul Fragment.

Helian Wei Wei glanced down at the tiara in her hand and tightened her grip. She could still remember that person’s silhouette when he last turned around.

Let things happen according to how they went…

Helian Wei Wei perfectly understood the reasoning behind that sentence. However, it was because she understood it so well that her heart ached, making her feel awful.

She clenched her fingers, trying to suppress her emotions. When she looked back up, her gaze was crystal clear once again.

Since this is where the second Soul Fragment is located, Baili Jia Jue should be somewhere around here, right?

But in which part of the imperial palace can I find him?

Also, why is it so silent?

She had been to the Cold Palace, it was nothing like this.

However, apart from the Cold Palace, what other palace would have so few palace maids like this one?

Helian Wei Wei took one step forward, and pushed open a random door. A blinding beam of light shone onto her face right away.

Subconsciously, Helian Wei Wei raised her hand to shield her eyes.

She looked toward her left, which was the direction of the light source.

She squinted carefully, as her eyes were still not used to the brightness.

However, all she could see was a silhouette standing amidst the shower of golden light.

The silhouette was petite.

Therefore, Helian Wei Wei initially thought that it was Little Seven.

Unexpectedly, when the silhouette came closer, she realized that it was not Little Seven.

That person was dressed in black robes, in addition to a heavy-looking cloak which was wrapped around his shoulders.

If this type of cloak was to be worn by other kids, it would only look out of place, but it looked oddly befitting on this boy.

His striking brows and eyes looked like they could slash through the night. His eyes were neither cold nor disdainful, just emotionless.

He seemed detached, yet giving off the undeniable vibe of a commander.

Blood seeped out in between the boy’s fingers. However, it seemed like he was not aware of it, as he walked forward stiffly until he noticed Helian Wei Wei. His calm eyes suddenly turned freezing cold.

Helian Wei Wei sensed his hostility, but that was not the thing that shocked her. It was just that the boy… he was a miniature version of a certain Third Prince!

Helian Wei Wei stood rooted to the ground. The sight before her gave her a feeling of deja vu.

When she was trapped in the formation, Ni Feng had tried every single way she could to make her understand the Baili Jia Jue in the past.

Now, it seemed like not only on his hand, but maybe even his back was also peppered with needle pinpricks that were pierced by his cruel mother.

The only thing that was different from what Helian Wei Wei saw in her dreams was that the boy in front of her felt real. He felt real in a way that she could even feel the coldness in his eyes, when she was nowhere near him!

So does this mean that the Soul Fragment is His Highness when he was a child?

Helian Wei Wei was slightly dumbfounded.

The boy did not look at her again after the first glance. He then stepped into another palace door while pressing down his right arm with his left hand.

Helian Wei Wei followed him in without thinking twice. It was indeed quieter here than in the other palaces. This was probably the palace that he stayed in before the fire occurred. No wonder she found it completely foreign and unfamiliar…

Splash!

A wooden bucket was deposited into the old well. Young Baili Jia Jue started to tug on the rope that was attached to it, trying to pull the bucket of water up.

Nonetheless, the excruciating pain from his left hand was affecting his movements.

He was tempted to just give up.

At that moment, a pair of fair, slender hands appeared before him unexpectedly, and pulled up the wooden bucket in just one tug.

When Baili Jia Jue turned around, he saw a soft smile on the woman’s face.

He had seen this face earlier, it belonged to a lady who had appeared out of nowhere.

“I’m not planning to tattle on you, so there’s no need to be nice to me.” Baili Jia Jue pushed her away with a monotonous voice.

Helian Wei Wei thought that the young prince would be less tough to deal with, but it seemed like this stubborn and complicated version in front of her was the hardest to deal with.

The way he drank water was too excessively noble-like.

The way he behaved was so posh, yet he was still so young! It seemed like he was just about the age of seven or eight.

Why does he act like he’s shooting a billion dollar movie?

Furthermore, his eyelashes were so long and curly, they were as dark as ink.

Helian Wei Wei reached out to touch him. As she was attracted to aesthetically pleasing appearances, she could not resist this temptation…

The boy was stunned, as he did not expect Helian Wei Wei would do so. His eyes then squinted dangerously like a cat as he asked, “Any plans to lose your hand?”

“Why are you so mean, even at this age?” Helian Wei Wei decided to educate her husband properly while he was young, so that things would be easier when she wooed him afterward. “You won’t have friends if you’re this mean.”

“Hmm, is that so…” An arrogant, devilish expression formed on his face, while his eyes radiated iciness.

Helian Wei Wei was spooked by his expression. She touched his slightly chubby little hand as she asked, “What are you thinking? Your smile is kind of creepy.”

“I was thinking about ways to kill you,” the boy answered expressionlessly.

Helian Wei Wei stiffened. She then tugged him over with one hand, embraced him tightly, and nuzzled him all over. “Don’t be so harsh toward ladies, be more gentlemanly instead. But uh, you shouldn’t be a gentleman to every lady too, just remember my face and be a gentleman to me while leaving out the others. You must remember this face of mine, because in the future you will love me till death, get it?”

The boy seemed to be enraged by her, as his facial expression darkened. Is this woman not afraid of death? Such a chatterbox, I don’t think there’s anyone who can ever be more talkative than her.

Since her hug is quite warm, therefore I won’t throw her over the wall for now… He plotted evilly in his mind, but upon hearing her last sentence, he could not help but jeer, “Me? Love you till death? Woman, are you still dreaming? Daydreaming is alright, but please remember your age, I don’t fancy old women like you.”

Helian Wei Wei was speechless. He’s not adorable at all! Was he born with such a sharp tongue? Will he die if he indulge me for once? I’m only 17! I’m still young!!!
