However, demons had no hearts.

Baili Jia Jue was only after the taste of her blood.

To think of it, her blood must be delicious.

Her soul would be delicious too as it smelled really nice…

Enjoying the smell, Baili Jia Jue shut his eyes in enjoyment and reached out his arm to hold her waist. His tongue licked his lips seductively while his fangs caressed Helian Wei Wei's neck in a flirting way.

He admitted that he liked the smell.

He really liked it… to the point where he could not wait to tear her into shreds.

However, just as he was about to bite down on her neck, Helian Wei Wei hugged him even harder. Her face was buried in his neck, and she said in a raspy voice, “Let's not stand here. The sun is scorching here which is not good for you. Even if you wanted to eat me, you should not do it here.”

Baili Jia Jue was stunned. She knew he wanted to eat her up.

All the souls he had consumed would either scream terrifyingly or be deeply attracted to him and cling onto him as if they were his lovers.

However, obviously, she was different.

She was protecting him.

Besides, she consciously slit her wrist with the tip of a knife and dragged him to a darker place. With one hand touching his hair, she put her wrist before him, her eyes as bright as the stars in the night sky. “Drink it.”

Baili Jia Jue hesitated for a moment as he felt very comfortable with her hand touching his hair, unlike anyone else he had in contact with before.

This pair of gentle hands had successfully stopped the thirst coming from his throat.

Bam!

Baili Jia Jue panted heavily and pushed her aside. He then turned the shower on, immersing his whole body in hot water. After his silvery grey hair was soaked wet, it hung by his ears, covering his every expression.

Helian Wei Wei stood outside the door. Her eyes became gloomy as she saw his blackening nails.

Baili Jia Jue looked as if he was bearing some sort of great pain, but in a flash the pain was gone. As he adjusted his collar with one hand and raised his head, he smiled. His dreamy, dark eyes formed black holes as if they were going to swallow the whole world.

The highest-ranked Demon King in the demon realm.

n.o.body was more handsome and carefree than him.

When he descended, he was honored, hated and loved by many.

Now, he just wanted a taste of the human in front of him.

Frustratingly, the person before him was his exclusive soul.

Nonetheless, very strangely, he could not be sure of the wish that she had made that day.

Baili Jia Jue was confused for the first time in a while. A peal of evil laughter followed.

As Helian Wei Wei saw his wet body, she took a white towel from the side without further hesitation and covered it on his head while tiptoeing.

Baili Jia Jue held her waist right away, with his other hand pressed onto her bleeding wrist and just like that he pinned her against the wall. His breath was uneven as it was suppressed by the person in front of him but he felt like he wanted to tear apart something at the same time due to his thirst.

Demonization was painful, but overcoming the demonization was ten thousand times worse.

Helian Wei Wei could not bear to let His Highness feel any pain. So she forced her bleeding wrist onto his lips.

At that moment, Baili Jia Jue's muscles were all tensed up. He finally could not hold back the throbbing heat coming from his throat and lowered his head to bite the slim, fair wrist in front of him.

The taste of her sweet blood dissolving on his tongue was the best soul he ever tasted.

This was the taste.

This taste was exactly what he wanted!

Unlike vampires, demons did not need a lot of blood. Only that the blood from a living soul could help them to relieve a great deal of pain, besides helping them to identify the taste of that particular soul.

Albeit, everything just went wrong. Such a great taste made Baili Jia Jue lose his control.

He reached out his hand and tore apart Helian Wei Wei's clothes. His palm was pressing onto Helian Wei Wei's waist while he was sucking her wrist, drinking her blood uncontrollably.

As a demon, he understood clearly that he should not be consuming a soul like that. However, the gaze of the person in his arms made him want to swallow her as a whole.

Baili Jia Jue was not satisfied with such little taste, but he could not suck her dry either.

He wanted her soul.

A complete soul.

As Baili Jia Jue thought of this, he stopped and looked at the pale-skinned person below him. For some reason, his empty chest felt hollow as if it was filled by chill winds, so wet and cold.

Suddenly, his pupils constricted and he quickly lifted Helian Wei Wei. For the first time in his life, he panicked. He quickly tore some white cloth and wrapped around Helian Wei Wei's wrist.

After all the blood was covered, he pressed his forehead with his hand and spoke in a deep tone, “Please go to the garage. I need to be alone for a while, tomorrow, no, in fact, you'll have to leave today. Pack your things now.”

Helian Wei Wei would never leave. She rejected him directly, “Where you are is where I'll be.”

“Hah,” Baili Jia Jue laughed with a deep voice. Pinching Helian Wei Wei's chin, he started speaking carelessly, “Helian Wei Wei, when have you learned to be unrelenting like other women? I said that I am frustrated now and I need some quiet time.”

Helian Wei Wei stood up and looked at him, her expression showing no sign of tolerance. She said only three words, “I'm not leaving.”

Baili Jia Jue tightened his fingers. As he glanced at her wrist that was covered in a white cloth, his tone became icier. “What good would it be if you stay here? Do you want to stop me from hunting?”

“As long as it's my blood, you won't be demonized too fast.” Helian Wei Wei pressed her head on his chest. “Also, I just want to be with you, it's just that simple.”

Baili Jia Jue resisted the urge to hug her and spoke with a malicious smile, “Oh Phoenix, you haven't changed at all, still as stupid as ever. Do you really think that there really is someone who would be there for you forever? Buddhism without Phoenix will be weaker than ever. It seems like all my predictions. .h.i.t the mark. Without you, all the useless people from the Three Heavenly Realms would have busted in here and my demonization would not be this complete. But if you were to stop me from going out, it will only disgust me. Just to be frank, I want to go outside now to hunt for fresher girls. I do not want to drink your blood anymore. Phoenix, you are of no use to me anymore.”
