“I was about to eat it!” the Little Seventh Prince said in a serious tone . “However, I don’t need it anymore because it is not as delicious as the beef . ”

The green snake grunted . Unruly brat! Have you ever cared about our feelings?!

Noticing that the snake was lying on the ground motionlessly, Little Seventh Prince bent down and poked the snake with his finger . He said menacingly, “Go away now or I will feed you to the Fire Qilin! ”

Upon hearing Fire Qilin’s name, the green snake was terrified . Then, it quickly slithered into the bush .

Helian Wei Wei found it very amusing . She held the little one’s hand as they walked side by side . “Is there anything else you want to eat?” she asked .

“I’m fine with everything . ” The Little Seventh Prince could be rather mature at times . For instance, he was not a picky eater .

Helian Wei Wei spoke in a gentle voice, “Do you want me to fry some potato sticks for you?”

“Fried potato sticks?” The little one’s eyes lit up as he scratched his ears and said gleefully, “Of course I want!”

Seeing that the boy had been scratching the same spot, Helian Wei Wei ordered her servant to bring over the ointment that was supposed to cure the itchiness . Then, she said, “I’ll prepare the fried potato sticks for you first so you can have the fried potato sticks while I cook supper . Is that alright?”

“Sure!” The little one nodded obediently .

His loveliness almost melted Helian Wei Wei’s heart . She wore a faint smile as she leaned forward and applied the ointment on his ears .

Surprisingly, the little one stayed still although he pouted and ranted like a cosseted boy, “The mosquitoes are so annoying! ”

“They bit you . Of course, you will find them annoying . ” Helian Wei Wei gently rubbed the pair of small and soft ears .

The little one shook his head and said, “Third Aunt, you are wrong . I’m not annoyed because they bit me, but because they are so dirty that I can’t eat them! ”

Helian Wei Wei was flustered . Fine . I’m wrong again . I should have perceived him as a glutton instead of a normal person .

To stop the little one from making more astonishing comments, Helian Wei Wei immediately cut the potatoes into pieces once she returned to the palace .

Her knife skills were exceptional . The potatoes were neatly cut into sticks . She coated the potato sticks with flour and deep-fried them .

The fried potato sticks were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside . When bitten, it was crunchy and fragrant as the flavor of the potatoes burst in one’s mouth . A jar of grape jam was placed at the side . It was one of the ingredients that they always used in the Imperial Kitchen to make snacks .

The little one was eating happily as he followed Helian Wei Wei around . He nibbled the fried potato sticks as he stared at the chopping board, appearing rather innocent and adorable .

Eunuch Sun stood by the side was in awe, “Princess Consort, you are incredible!”

“This will make things easier for the chef . ” The young eunuch, who was following Eunuch Sun around, instinctively delivered a cup of tea to Eunuch Sun .

Eunuch Sun received the teacup and took a sip out of it, “Well, you’re right . On normal days, when the Third Prince is occupied with other affairs, I have to chase behind the Little Seventh Prince all over the palace . It’s good that there is someone who can tame him now . Other than His Highness, he only listens to the princess consort . He is naughty even in front of Tu Sufeng, the dean . Speaking of that, keep an eye on Little Seventh Prince . Recently, the palace has been in turmoil . Some areas are off-limits to the little prince . You need to take the necessary precautions . I am afraid that the palace is going to undergo a radical change . ”

“Yes . ” The junior eunuch answered before he retired from the scene .

In the evening, a man in white stood at the brightly lit hall . He said gently and politely “Elders, have you thought this through? Are you positive about inviting the eminent monks into the palace?”

“Master, even you suspect that Helian Wei Wei is possessed . ” One of the elders let out a chilling laugh, “If Helian Wei Wei is contented and placid with her current status, we will leave her undisturbed . However, she has been getting increasingly aggressive and we can no longer tolerate her behavior . We have underestimated this girl . We didn’t expect her to be able to cause much ruckus in less than two months . Tu Sufeng recruited her into the Battle Spirit Forces and she has been antagonizing us since then . No one can foresee what she’ll do to us in the future . We have spared her life once as a courtesy to her grandfather . However, it’s time to eliminate her now! ”

The man in white chuckled, “Elder Wu, do you really believe that Helian Wei Wei’s hostility against the four great elders is a work of Tu Sufeng?”

“Master, what do you mean?” The other elders paused their actions in synchrony, leaving their hands which were holding the teacups hanging midair .

The man in white turned around . His sickly pallor could not be concealed by his fair and pretty face . He explained, “When the Helian family was annihilated, Old Master Helian died mysteriously as well . Helian Wei Wei was the sole survivor of the family . You did not spare her life as a courtesy to her grandfather . Rather, it was because of the blood she was carrying, the blood of Helian . The blood of Helian is reputed for being able to achieve exorcism . Anyone who obtains it will be able to increase his or her martial Qi significantly . However, she was only a young girl . Killing her would be such a waste . It was a better idea to keep her alive to serve as a blood bank . Furthermore, the elders have definitely left your traces behind during the incident . When I’ve successfully discovered the truth, it is certain that Helian Wei Wei has found out about it as well . It is not Tu Sufeng’s idea to overthrow the elders . He is never a man with clear goals . The true mastermind who wants to eliminate all of you is Helian Wei Wei herself . ”

“That’s a more concrete reason for us to remove her . ” Elder Wu narrowed his eyes as he put down the teacup . His eyes were now filled with bloodthirstiness .

The other two elders also lowered their gazes . The murder that year left contrition in their hearts . If the public found out about it, the four elder’s long-standing reputation as the protectors of the War Dragon Empire would be shattered .

Consequently, their supreme status and infinite power would also be revoked . Now, they were more determined than ever to end Helian Wei Wei .

The man in white clothing faced away from them, lowered his eyes and coughed, “Helian Wei Wei is no ordinary girl . It is not an easy task to defeat her . I believe that all of you know which prince is the hardest to deal with . How can you make sure that it’ll be smooth-sailing from here on? ”

“Master, you don’t have to worry about that . ” Elder Wu took a sip out of the teacup as he grinned wickedly, “With the Emperor’s assistance, even the Third Prince cannot abet her in spite of his power . When the eminent monks begin to chant the scriptures, Helian Wei Wei will revert into her original form . ”

The man in white paused his action and answered the elders with silence, all this while wearing a disdainful grin on his face .

After the sunset, Elder Ming was the only one left in the hall . He opened his mouth and said, “When you enter the palace tomorrow, remember my advice . Once the eminent monks are done with their ceremony, you have to lure Helian Wei Wei to the riverbank regardless of whether Elder Wu accomplishes his goal . ”

“I’ll make sure to complete the duty Master assigned to me . ” Elder Ming stood with a strange posture with his head dropped . Then, he let out an eerie husky cackle .

The man in white threw a brief glimpse at Elder Ming and said, “You have been a human for so many days . Yet, you still haven’t gotten a gist about the nature of human beings . You must remember to never reveal even a bit of your true self, especially the way you stand and sit . You know what the consequences will be if you accidentally expose yourself . ”
