This easily made her recall the times when she was alone and single-handedly fighting off groups of demons.
The King of h.e.l.l's son had never once forgotten that she was Phoenix, the Phoenix that could kill a Sea of Blood with her Phoenix Bone Scythe.
However, Helian Wei Wei did not attack. Instead, she smiled and tilted her head to one side to pinch little Qingchen's cheek. “Son, could you please get off the car first? I have something to discuss with this young man.”
Little Qingchen had always been smart, and at the same time, he understood Helian Wei Wei well. He knew that she would never let anyone get involved in her decision.
He pushed the door open and wobbled as he leaped off, with a devil plush in his hands.
He did not understand what a divine psyche was.
No one had ever told him about it.
Despite that, one thing Little Qingchen was well aware of was that this person did not bring with him good news.
Perhaps he could think of a solution to settle the problem with his elder brother when he met up with him later.
It was about Imperial Father after all…
Anyhow, he was unaware that the reason Helian Wei Wei refused to let him listen to the rest of the conversation was that the changes in Baili Jia Jue might hurt Helian Wei Wei.
It was exactly because of this that the King of h.e.l.l's son chose to tell her this message, “Tian Dao and Buddhism, and even those Grim Reapers in the Underworld are already busying themselves with the preparation. You should know that when the Emperor fell from the sky many years back and became a demon, his power was dreaded even by the Three Heavenly Paths. Many years have pa.s.sed, they will never hope to see the Emperor transforming into a legitimate demon. This will harm all the living things on earth. Without the constraint of the divine psyche, his ghoulish aura will be deemed dominant. By then, he will kill everyone.”
“He will not become like that.” Helian Wei Wei cut the King of h.e.l.l's son short. A tinge of indifference arose on her side profile, like never before.
The King of h.e.l.l's son peered at her. “Woman, you should know the meaning of turning into a real demon. Even you shall one day be no more than a source of food for him. This is because both of you have made a contract to help each other out and once he has helped you fulfill your wish, the contract will be automatically put to effect. He will treat you like the most delicious meal ever, devouring you bit by bit. His Highness has always been different from the others. He was born from chaos and once he becomes a demon, he will lose all human instincts. Surely you must know.”
“I'm aware of all these, but I will say it once again, he will not become like that.” Helian Wei Wei retracted her hands from the steering wheel and stared right into the King of h.e.l.l's son's eyes. “I will not let him become like that.”
The King of h.e.l.l's son paused, shaking his head. “Woman, we all know that no one can stop these changes from happening. The divine psyche is gone, this time it's gone for real. Ripping time and s.p.a.ce is scarier than falling from the sky, do you understand me? He did not manage to find you the last time but he's found you now, so there are no more shackles around him. He must have shown signs of demonizing, such as aversion to sunlight, beginning to feel bloodthirsty, you…”
“When will the war start?” Helian Wei Wei did not wait for the King of h.e.l.l's son to finish before she spoke with a calm voice. It was so calming that the King of h.e.l.l's son felt that she knew better than himself about how things would end. “I know very clearly what is running through the minds of the people in Tian Dao and Buddhism. For them to show up in the netherworld and join forces, it must have been because they realized that they don't have enough power to keep the divine psyche, yet they feared losing it. Since you've come to look for me, it means that they have been preparing for quite a while now. Have they already ordered someone to be by his side? This time, the netherworld is taking sides with them, right?”
The King of h.e.l.l's son suddenly grew solemn. “You're right. Wei Wei, you have to understand that no one will endure such existence that poses a risk of destruction to the Six Paths. To morph from a G.o.d to a Demon, what's more, he was also born from chaos. He will become a killing machine and your soul will be the first one he claims. That's the purpose I am here today, to tell you this message. I'm afraid that we have to be enemies from now on. To be honest, I don't want to be your enemy, but, Wei Wei, you can't deny that when the time comes, he will no longer be the Baili Jia Jue you know.”
“He will still be the same.” A faint glow seemed to appear deep within Helian Wei Wei's determined, starry eyes as she sternly affirmed, “No matter what he becomes, he will still be him. Just like what you've said, I don't want to be your enemy but there is something you must note, no one can hurt him while I'm here. If the people from the netherworld wish to harm him, he doesn't have to release his demon's ghoulish aura. I will use my Phoenix Bone Scythe first.”
The King of h.e.l.l's son did not mutter a word.
At that moment, the parking lot was dead silent.
No one knew exactly how much time went by.
The King of h.e.l.l's son finally let out a long sigh. “Even if the people of the netherworld have no intention of hurting him, you cannot protect him. The first person that he will harm is you, do you not understand? You may be able to defend him from Tian Dao and Buddhism for now, but at the end of the day, the person whose soul that he will devour will be yourself. It seems like you still don't understand the meaning of a killing machine.”
“I understand.” Helian Wei Wei's voice deepened with a thick hint of warning. ” Even if he becomes a killing machine, even if the whole world wants him gone, even if my soul will be devoured, I still want to protect him for as long as I can, so don't ever cross my boundaries!”
The King of h.e.l.l's son's eyes darkened. “I understand. I will try to keep an eye on the people of the netherworld. But, woman, you must be careful.” Saying this, he rose to his feet and smiled.
If the whole world wishes to go against you.
Then I shall stand by your side and fight alongside you, how about that?
She was unmistakably the Phoenix that he knew.
The King of h.e.l.l's son's only worry was that… after losing his human instincts, would Bali Jia Jue still know all these when his mind was to be filled only with the urge to slaughter?
The one thing that terrified him the most was that Baili Jia Jue should already be showing signs of change. To which stage had he transformed? No one knew for sure, it was even likely that he himself would not notice much, as the demon was the sole representation of the darkest selfishness.
He was determined to try his best to fulfill the wish the exclusive soul had made.
From that moment on.
He was already starting to demonize.
So, Wei Wei was in grave danger.
“Even so, do you still wish to stay by his side?” Murmuring to himself, the King of h.e.l.l's son glanced down at the hatchet in his hands.
The judge who followed closely behind him stammered terribly, “L-Little Highness, y-you've told Phoenix everything. The l-lord will definitely tie you up!”
“Am I afraid of him?” The King of h.e.l.l's son dashingly blew a puff of air at the bangs on his forehead. “Go home and tell my father that I am taking Little Hook's family name from now on, and that he doesn't have to come to the human world to look for me. A married man is like water that is splashed out, doesn't he understand?”
