Heart trembles

Sun Gonggong was left dumbfounded, even the master didn't open the umbrella, and he, as a servant, had to bear it and let the people around him put away the folding umbrella.

The ladies from noble families glanced at each other, their gazes fixed on Baili Jiajie couldn't be ignored.

Helian Weiwei understood this kind of mood very well.

After all, it's not often that you come across a man with such a perfect physique like Baili Jia Jue.

With broad shoulders, long legs, and an exceptional temperament, especially when the rain fell on his coat and black hair, he casually brushed the hair off his forehead and pinned it back, exuding an indescribable coldness and untamed aura. There was a wildness about him that was unprecedented, shattering the restrained image he usually carried. It made people want to see more and more of him.

Helian Weiwei snorted twice. The three princes went through so much trouble just to find her, and this Hue's betrayal was truly thorough.

If it weren't for the wrong timing, she would have whistled at him.

People who can exude such charisma every minute must have their own set of skills.

Sun Gonggong also noticed the gazes of the young ladies from each family and tried to take off his coat to put it on his master.

However, the Third Highness was too fast, and Sun Gonggong's short legs couldn't keep up at all.

Helian Weiwei found it quite amusing to watch this scene unfold, but what she didn't expect was that Baili Jia Jue suddenly turned around and looked in her direction!

No, it should be said that he was looking at their little group!

Helian Weiwei stopped what she was doing and thought to herself, "Third Prince, you're quite something. You won't even let the men go!"

But...

Helian Weiwei raised her eyes and glanced at the dark clouds not far away. Slowly, a smile curled up at the corners of her mouth. Her lips moved ever so slightly, as if she was counting down: "One, two... Three."

As she uttered the word "three," a winged beast swooped in from the west, its dark figure resembling a cloud floating in the sky.

Everyone was stunned, watching this scene in disbelief.

"What's happening?"

"It's a beast tide!"

"How can there be a beast tide at this time!? Wasn't it supposed to happen in summer?"

"Don't ask me, how would I know!"

"Quick, inform the dean!"

In an instant, the atmosphere in Youyuan became chaotic.

In truth, winged beasts didn't pose a real threat to people. They simply enjoyed snatching people off the ground and dropping them, considering it a form of friendliness.

But the students who had to fend them off wanted to send a clear message: "Thank you, but we don't need this kind of friendliness!" Their legs were nearly broken! Where the hell were the beasts trying to grab them!

"Miss!"

"Young Master!"

Perhaps not chaotic enough, the maids' screams seemed capable of lifting the entire courtyard's roof.

Helian Mei's head spun from the impact, and she held onto her long skirt, afraid of falling.

Amidst the chaos in Youyuan, the Third Highness remained the calmest. His long sleeves fluttered without a speck of dust as he stood in the center of the group of winged beasts. His figure remained unchanged, but his pair of phoenix-like eyes seemed even more dangerous than before. The winged beasts were intimidated, daring not to approach him. However, one bold winged beast extended its claws, intending to play with the Third Highness. The moment the Third Highness glanced over, the winged beast whimpered in fear and promptly retracted its claws, almost falling from the sky in fright.

Helian Weiwei observed from the side and was quite impressed. The Third Highness was indeed worthy of his reputation, not only charming men and women but also capable of handling divine beasts.

"Helian Weiwei."

The man's deep voice suddenly resounded, carrying an unprecedented patience that sounded unusually pleasant to her ears.

Helian Weiwei's arm froze, thinking that Baili Jia Jue had discovered her.

But her rationality told her not to turn back; it might be a trap.

And indeed, it was a trap.

The tip of his tongue brushed across his thin lips as an alluring smile bloomed slowly from the corner of his mouth. It was like a flower blossoming on the other side of hell, irresistibly seductive and incredibly sexy. He spoke in a low and bewitching tone, word by word: "I have to personally bring you back to the main hall, huh?"

His words carried a pleasant taste.

It didn't sound like he was capturing someone; instead, it felt more like a game of hide-and-seek.

Helian Weiwei smiled, her arms already lifted into the air by the winged beasts. Her posture was more graceful than anyone else's. Instead of struggling like the others, she waited for this very opportunity.

"If you return on your own, the main hall might consider letting you go." Baili Jia Jue's figure became even more ethereal in the moonlight.

Helian Weiwei's lips curled into a smile as she thought to herself, "Third Prince, you underestimate Helian Weiwei. That face you're putting on won't deceive me, a little girl."

But, well, judging by the sound of his voice, she did see a little bit of action.

Yet, she didn't believe he would let her go.

Why would he go through all the trouble of finding her just to release her?

She didn't believe it!

Based on the Third Highness's character, once he caught her, he would undoubtedly shred her into ten thousand pieces. No, maybe he wouldn't bother with that. He'd simply throw her to the ground and have a few people break her legs and arms. Then he'd sit beside her, sipping tea without batting an eye.

After spending so many days with him, she knew his methods all too well. Elegant, but ruthlessly deadly!

"Go."

Helian Weiwei made her decision and, riding on the wind brought by the winged beasts, successfully hid herself among the captured young masters and ladies.

The people below desperately tried to bring down the winged beasts, but their numbers were overwhelming, and none could be dealt with effectively.

What the hell was happening!

On a rainy day, Taibai Academy was unexpectedly besieged by so many winged beasts!

It was beyond bizarre!

Everyone had their own thoughts, and it was no wonder they were perplexed. There was an agreement between the academy and the divine beasts. The academy's people wouldn't recklessly hunt divine beasts in the Spirit Realm Forest, and the divine beasts wouldn't casually attack the academy's students.

But now, these winged beasts... were they attacking? It didn't seem like it!

What did it mean for the Third Highness to take them into the air?

Baili Jia Jue gazed at the ascending beasts, his narrow and deep eyes icy cold. Even his voice felt like a flower blooming in the Arctic, freezing as he said, "It seems you have no intention of coming back." Well, that's not up to you. When—

Helian Weiwei's heart trembled slightly as she heard his words, her breath caught...
