Chapter 1022 His Highness
“Yo! What’s wrong with this child?” Another boss, Kasuo, held out his slender finger . Right when he was about to dip his finger on the child’s adorable little cheek, Baili Shangxie turned his body and avoided his approach .
Kasuo pursed his lips and muttered, “Can’t even touch a little . ”
Baili Shangxie looked at him with a poker face and said indifferently, “You’re a Grim Reaper, your aura is not good for him . ”
“Is it so?” Kasuo furrowed his brow as he had never heard of such a statement .
Bing was noticeably more reliable . He closed the notebook in his hand and started talking . There was no warmth in his voice . “He’s not enlightened and his physique is different from yours, yet your Imperial Father’s magic is so strong that it causes an impact on him . Put him in the coffin first, everything will be alright if your Imperial Father is able to return . ”
Baili Shangxie remained silent, but he did not refuse to have any contact with the Grim Reaper like he did before .
Right now, nothing mattered more to him than his younger brother .
Baili Shangxie crouched down and placed Helian Qingchen, who was smaller than him, into the softest coffin . Unwilling to leave, he watched over the little one at the side .
When Helian Qingchen felt unwell, he would feed him some water that he prepared and rub the little one’s head with his fingers as if he was comforting him .
Kasuo shook his head in disbelief . “Never would I have thought that this vicious fellow would be fond of his little brother . ”
“It’s true that he only knew how to eat people back then, it’s the same for all the devils . ” Bing had a deep voice . “Especially those demonized devils, more often than not they will unconsciously perform acts that they will regret soon after . In addition to that, he’s a purebred devil . In his head, killing is nothing but a method of survival as devils are born cunning and selfish . You’re not fond of them too, aren’t you?”
Kasuo smiled . “Indeed, I dislike them, but the devil isn’t the nastiest species as compared to humans . So, if this issue can be done and dealt with, perhaps we don’t need to get involved, right? I don’t want to fight with that man because I know it will lead to my ultimate defeat . Even the King of Hell lost to him, isn’t it? But if it’s you, you may be able to last very long . ”
“Don’t talk with your gigolo tone in front of me . ” Bing pushed the glasses sitting on the ridge of his tall nose . “No fight will take place, there’s always an anomaly . ”
Anomaly?
Kasuo peered out at the window . Yeah, by right the person will show up .
The Grim Reapers were right about that .
At the other end of the equinox flowers in the deep corner of the Underworld, a man actually came walking by .
He was no longer dressing in the fashion of the olden days . Instead, he clad in a white T-shirt with a pair of brown slacks, appearing to be as clean as the moon hanging high in the sky, alluring yet sophisticated .
Behind him was a little one with a gloomy expression on his face, holding a small bottle gourd in one hand . He looked ghostly because of the heavy eye bags, but his act of tugging at the man’s sleeves made him look oddly adorable .
Baili Jia Jue’s silver long hair was stained with black ink, drenched, but gently fluttering onto his anterior body . He simply let the river water soak his robe, the water eventually mixed with the fresh blood on his chest . He was still the whole time .
The man walked over to Baili Jia Jue and paused, his eyes glancing through Helian Wei Wei’s face like flowing water . “She’s still the same as she was at Mountain Tenya . If something involved you, her first reaction would be to protect you . ”

Baili Jia Jue slowly lifted his head up and said with a deep voice, “Jing Wushuang?”
“It’s indeed a rare sight to see you in such a difficult position . ” Jing Wushuang’s words were for Baili Jia Jue, but his eyes never left Helian Wei Wei as she was his longing for the past millions of years . “In this case, I guess her hard work paid off now . Do you know why she extracted the Dharma Bone herself back then? Because she refused to follow the orders of Buddhism to exterminate you . ”
Baili Jia Jue jolted and shivered, grasping his fingers tighter and harder, as though he had lost all his senses .
“She had been living on Mountain Tenya ever since I knew her . Unlike others, she didn’t have her own palace . The vast Snowland of Prajna was where she practiced . She loved eating buns when she was little, every time she would bring the buns and silently finish them while sitting under me . Those people in Buddhism never played with her . ” Jing Wushuang withdrew his gaze and faced Baili Jia Jue . “But she still went to that place, as if she was looking for someone . ”
“Last time, I used to think that I knew her first . But then I finally understood, the person she had been looking for all along, was you . ” Jing Wushuang squatted down with both his eyes fixed on Helian Wei Wei . “She had always been different from the others . Among the huge population that entered Buddhism at Mountain Tenya, who would deny the protections of the Golden Lotus? However, she showered me with the holy water that she took a lot of trouble to get . Back in Mountain Tenya, I would always think about how great it would be if I had met her earlier, perhaps I could be the one she loved . I was obsessed with the idea of transforming into a human, but I left out a crucial detail . It didn’t matter who was the one whom she met first, because the only person who could take away her pain of loneliness and make her full of life, was you . ”
Baili Jia Jue’s movements came to a halt . He could feel his chest being torn into bits .
Large amounts of fresh blood gushed out rapidly yet silently from his chest .
He thought that the greatest pain in the world was when she offered him to leave .
However, when he saw her defending in front of him with her own body, that was when he truly felt the pain the humans were talking about .
It felt like little intricate pieces of string crawling and eventually spreading into his chest .

The strings were threaded with hatred, unwillingness, and heartache that he never experienced before .
Jing Wushuang’s gaze turned deep and dark . His long slender fingers were fair, like the feathers of a Phoenix . He loosened his grip . “It’s not guaranteed that she will wake up by simply scooping up her souls, she needs the Sound of Buddha to gather her spirit . I’m here to return the blessings that she had graced me previously . Please treat her well in the future . ”
Jing Wushuang stood up as his words settled .
Then, he did not look back .
The little one followed behind the man with a confused look . He looked up at him with his big eyes . “Master, why didn’t you meet her? You have been wanting to meet her for a very long time . ”
“She doesn’t need it anymore . ” Jing Wushuang held out his hands and patted the little one on his head . His eyes were empty and cold . “This is good enough . I don’t want her to feel like she owes me anything . ”
The little one did not understand why feelings and emotions had to be so complicated .
However, the little one was sure that if it was not because of Helian Wei Wei’s relentless effort, his master would never have returned .
Now that Master has returned everything back to that Lord, everything should be over .
How could it possibly be over?

The 10,000 steps toward Buddhism, and those devoted kowtows .
Not everyone could complete it .
As a ghost baby, the little one would never understand what Helian Wei Wei’s existence meant to Jing Wushuang .
Sometimes, it was mainly because she was too important to him .
That was why he chose to withdraw himself till the point that he was nothing but a good friend of hers . At least then, she would not feel like she owed him anything…
