The Lips Are Broken

To the Third Prince, it meant nothing, just a playful act. But to Helian Weiwei, being kicked out of the academy for such a trivial matter was unacceptable!

Helian Weiwei quickly pushed the person away, getting up from the floor and looking defensively at Baili Jia Jue, her eyes slightly cold.

"How? Isn't what Hotohara said correct?" Baili Jia Jue's voice carried a faint smile that couldn't be ignored.

Helian Weiwei realized that he was even more unruly than usual when he was drunk. But...

To take advantage of her and then dislike her for her lack of strength? Oh, how wrong he was!

"If it weren't for the fact that this body is weak, do you think I can't handle you?" Helian Weiwei grabbed Baili Jia Jue's collar, her face lowered and her voice fierce, expressing her anger.

Baili Jia Jue didn't appreciate her words, his eyebrows furrowing slightly. He thought her fiery words suited her better for kissing.

Rubbing his forehead with a headache, he responded coldly, "Don't worry, I'll take responsibility."

But what they were discussing wasn't a matter of responsibility or irresponsibility at all! Besides, even if she were to marry, she would never marry a drunken wolf like him.

"Who said you're responsible?" Helian Weiwei threw away the coat he had messed up, her voice dripping with coldness. With her dignified appearance and the coat in disarray, anyone could guess what had happened.

Baili Jia Jue believed she was just throwing a tantrum. He believed that women, whether smart or not, became irrational when they got angry.

He kissed her, and now what better way did she have than to make him responsible? Even the black family was thoroughly cleaned up by his drink.

But the Third Prince didn't understand at all. In Helian Weiwei's view, being kissed didn't mean the other party had to take responsibility. Though her heart was annoyed and angry about losing her first real kiss, she wasn't an ancient woman and her reputation meant nothing to her.

Besides, if a man truly liked a woman, respect should be his first quality. But it was clear that the Third Prince was just having fun with her, not to mention that he had been drinking.

If it weren't for the bad timing, she would have the urge to break his hands.

"Your Highness." Sun Gonggong entered the room and witnessed the scene—an angry Helian Weiwei standing with fire in her eyes and a cold and noble Baili Jia Jue sitting there, looking at each other in an odd way.

Baili Jia Jue snorted lightly, as if still tormented by the effects of the alcohol, his voice nasal and heavy.

Duke Sun scolded, "Your Highness, why did you drink? Don't you know that it's not good for your health? Did you do something to provoke the Emperor Taishang? Sun Gonggong guessed right—Baili Jia Jue had indeed provoked the Emperor Taishang, and as a result, he was forced to drink excessively.

"Miss Vivi," Sun Gonggong looked at Helian Weiwei with concern and leaned in to whisper, "Your Highness, did he treat you well? He becomes strange when he drinks, like making unreasonable demands and then dismissing people, but it's not like his usual self."

Helian Weiwei snorted inwardly. It was clear that it was all because he was drunk.

"Grandfather Sun, next time the Third Highness gets drunk, you should find a man for him. Maybe that will make him happy, and he might even reward you with gold and silver jewelry."

Sun Gonggong couldn't understand. "Why would finding a man make a difference? His Highness just likes to order people around, and he doesn't discriminate between men and women."

"Because of the Third Prince..." Helian Weiwei's thin lips curled up, her words filled with anger. "Under pressure." After uttering those words, Helian Weiwei left, angrier than ever at losing her first kiss and her coat.

The queen-like aura she had suppressed for many years unintentionally surfaced in that moment.

Sun Gonggong was dumbfounded upon hearing the word "under pressure." He opened his mouth but couldn't react in time before Helian Weiwei walked away.

He turned to his master, who stood up as if nothing had happened, casually adjusting his collar and standing by the window with a cold and lazy posture. His thin lips seemed bruised but still retained their allure, adding a touch of seductive wickedness.

Sun Gonggong couldn't help but wonder what his master had done to make Helian Weiwei use the term "under pressure" to describe him. What was even more peculiar was that His Highness didn't seem angry.

Although His Highness had a better temper when he was drunk, it didn't mean he had no temper at all. What was happening today?

Sun Gonggong blinked, then suddenly realized something and shouted, "Your Highness, your mouth!" "Everyone come in and see how His Highness looks!" Duke Sun's voice grew louder and louder, but Baili Jia Jue just stood there, indifferent to the commotion. He allowed his attendants to serve him, and when his slender fingers brushed across his lips, a smile appeared on his face that he had never worn before.

Sun Gonggong wondered what his master had done to provoke the Emperor Taishang so much that he would pour him so much wine. Little did he know that the wound on Baili Jia Jue's lips was not self-inflicted but caused by Helian Weiwei's biting.

In Sun Gonggong's memory, his master had never shown any interest in women, let alone initiate a kiss. Even if His Highness did kiss someone, the woman would be ecstatic and would never bite him.

Therefore, Duke Sun didn't even consider Helian Weiwei as the culprit. Baili Jia Jue's popularity in the Battle Dragon Empire was too immense, and almost all the esteemed ladies were drawn to him like a god.

Dusk fell on the west side of the academy.

Helian Weiwei played with the martial arts parts in her hand and forcefully wiped the corner of her lower lip.

This unexpected display of impetuosity surprised the Supreme sitting beside her. It was the first time he had seen the usually composed girl act this way.

Sensing her restlessness, Helian Weiwei closed her eyes tightly and then reopened them, revealing a newfound clarity. She asked, "Master, what did you just say? Can you repeat it?" Zhi

Zhi coughed twice. "Wei Shi received news from the palace today. The selection of the concubine is expected to be advanced. Originally, the Emperor Taishang planned to decide after watching the martial arts competition, but now the palace is busy, and he has a preferred candidate in mind—your sister. He will come to Taibai Academy this evening to finalize the engagement. As a selected participant, you will also have to attend the dinner."
