Chapter 645: Your Existence Is My Distraction

Baili Jia Jue seemed to accept his fate as he watched the person with a confused expression standing in front of him. “Never mind, your sole existence is a distraction to me anyway. As long as you are here, I can’t focus on anything else.”

Am I really as annoying as he said? Helian Wei Wei began to sulk.

Abruptly, she was enveloped in his embrace, his fingers caressing her hair softly, as though he was petting a pet. In a sarcastic tone, he said, “You really are silly. Now, are you still not convinced?”

Helian Wei Wei paused her breathing. With that familiar scent surrounding her, she felt safe and comforted.

Everything was back to normal again at last.

To everyone except him, and also his unconditional love and adoration toward her.

The fact that he was always sarcastic and never really expressed his thoughts did not faze her as she was already used to this behavior.

Helian Wei Wei giggled and extended her arms to embrace him. The lean and strong waist between her arms felt good to hold on to.

As Baili Jia Jue lowered his eyes, he caught sight of her cunning yet innocent smile on the corner of her lips and her eyes staring deeply at him. He felt her fingers wandering around his waist and he started to question his taste in women. How could he have fallen for this girl who could not keep her hands off him at all times?

“Enjoying what you feel?” Baili Jia Jue lifted one of his beautiful eyebrows. His scent once again engulfed Helian Wei Wei.

“Not bad at all. I enjoy the smooth skin texture.” This will all be mine to touch in the future, she thought to herself.

Baili Jia Jue revealed an indifferent yet vicious smile. “Since you like it so much, later we shall find a convenient time for you to enjoy touching it.” On the bed, but not here…

Helian Wei Wei sparkled with joy, and asked, “Is this special treatment for me?”

“Yes, special treatment.” Baili Jia Jue leaned over her and breathed the words in her ear devilishly.

Helian Wei Wei felt a wave of electricity shot through her from this unexpected touch and shuddered involuntarily.

Satisfied with his effect on her, Baili Jia Jue released his grip on her. He looked up and glared at the imperial guards afar with their bows and arrows ready. His voice was cold and full of authority as he said, “How dare you still have your bows and arrows up? Do you wish to kill me?”

The imperial guards looked at each other with uncertainty and did not dare to move an inch.

After all, they were ordered by the Emperor, and it was his order that they were to stand guard here and surround the area.

Baili Jia Jue stared at them squarely, one of his arms still holding Helian Wei Wei. Suddenly, his fur cape billowed in the breeze and behind him appeared an army. Every single soldier was dressed tightly in black and each holding a long spear. Their presence was formidable and invincible.

Someone recognized the army. They were the shadow guards trained by the Third Prince.

Rumor had it that no one would dare to approach these eight thousand shadow guards within thirty thousand meters.

They had heard too much but had seen too little.

At that moment, the imperial guards who resided in the palace for many years started to feel fear pooling from the bottom of their stomachs.

The shadow guards stood behind Baili Jia Jue, their faces were covered with masks, looking like a devilish army coming straight from hell. They stood attentively and upright, as though waiting for an order from Baili Jia Jue. With their appearance and the light reflecting off their silver blades, the senior ministers who were used to rely on Elder Compound started to panic.

They had initially planned to demand the identity of the Seventh Prince. But now, they were paralyzed with terror.

The imperial guards understood that this was a battle that could not be won. Suddenly, there was a sound of something dropping onto the floor.

Someone had dropped their bow and arrow willingly and knelt on the ground in defeat.

Immediately, tens, hundreds, thousands of the imperial guards admitted defeat and surrendered to Baili Jia Jue!

Every minister in the court watched as this scene unfolded right before their eyes with mixed feelings.

Some of them once belonged to the Fifth Prince, some belonged to the Elder Compound and even some belonged to the Emperor himself.

They never thought that Baili Jia Jue had been carefully playing his cards for this moment for such a long time.

They never thought that Baili Jia Jue would be the one to ascend the throne in the end.

Sure, he was capable, but he never understood the way of handling politics among the ministers. Even though he was talented, they had thought that his power would fall eventually.

However looking back now, the Eldest Prince drowned because he offended the Emperor due to speaking bluntly when the Li family was ill-treating the Third Prince.

The Murong family was once trusted and adored by the Emperor for centuries. The Emperor had even shown special adoration toward Queen Murong and the Fifth Prince.Visit web novel. live If You like manga , comics

However, their fate ended with life-long imprisonment and the decapitation due to their attempt to frame the Third Prince.

In the past, all these incidents seemed unrelated to the Third Prince. But if they dug deeper, the Third Prince was the root cause of all of them.

The ministers trembled when this realization hit. It was now the Emperor’s turn as it was known that a demon had taken up residence in his body. The Third Prince would just appear to be bringing justice by sentencing his father to death.

Nobody would question the reason why the Third Prince would ascend to the throne. To everyone else, it was perfectly justifiable.

But the truth was not lost to the experienced ministers.

They felt a chill ran down their spine as a result of their late realization.

They wondered how much thought and planning that this prince whom they once thought would be dethroned at any moment had done to hold the destiny of the whole court in his palms.

The Eldest Prince was gone, the Fifth Prince was gone, even the Emperor was gone.

There would be no confusion as to who would seize the throne now.

They had even mocked secretly when the worthless, spoiled woman Helian Wei Wei was married to the Third Prince. They had thought that she would speed up his failure with her inability when his state in the court was already at a disadvantage.

They never thought that this woman would become the biggest martial arts dealer in the country. With that power, she even managed to gain back control of the Helian family. However, her ability to let the hidden army submit to her was even more terrifying!

Separated, these two individuals were scary enough.

A moment ago, the Third Prince had successfully forced the imperial guards to admit defeat with his strong and determined presence. Helian Wei Wei had stood her ground without fear when she was surrounded by the imperial guards.

Now that they were united, the future…would be hard to predict.

Uneasiness began to show in some of the ministers’ eyes.

Nangong Lie had been watching at the side the whole time. He had known every detail of this plan from the start and he could easily guess what the ministers were thinking.

They were probably drowning in regret right now.

However, he was sure that they never knew that Ah Jue had possessed the ability to win the throne long ago.

If he had really wanted the throne, he would have had revolted with his army seven years ago.

But he never did that, instead, he let that opportunity pass. He stared at him indifferently, and uttered in a dignified manner, “I will only accept the throne when it is delivered personally to me.”

He was never interested in forcing his authority in court. Instead, he placed great emphasis on how to obtain something effortlessly and naturally.

After the whole incident, Helian Wei Wei heard about the speculation of the ministers and had the opportunity to verify the matter with Baili Jia Jue, “Did you plan from the start to kill the Eldest Prince?”

Baili Jia Jue glanced at her and spoke slowly, “It’s true that I wish to kill him, but the ultimate reason for my action was not because of the throne.”

“What was the reason then?”
