In the darkness, Baili Jia Jue walked ahead in unhurried steps. He appeared entirely peaceful yet emitted a dangerous aura.

Within the forest, a series of rustling sounds pervaded, as if there was something always following him.

Baili Jia Jue’s foot paused as he said in a cold tone, “Come out.”

Little Bald Head stiffened and adorably took a bite out of the meat bun. His pair of shoulders drooped before his figure appeared. His face expressed a specific kind of pride, “Brother.”

Baili Jia Jue faintly sounded out an ‘mm’.

It turned out that this Little Bald Head was none other than the one with the same birth mother and father as Baili Jia Jue, the seventh prince, Baili Kong Chen!

The little person scratched his ear, incomparably adorkable*, “Older Brother, why didn’t you enter the Superior Compound? Royal Grandfather is asking me about it all the time.”

“You guys at the Superior Compound always get up too early.” Baili Jia Jue lazily raised his eyelids. His expression didn’t change as he swept over the exposed plump arms which looked rather like lotus roots. His eyebrows raised slightly, “What did you do wrong?”

Little Bald Head lowered hits head and looked at those small Weights Bands, stepped back and hid, as he said, “I beat up all the martial uncles in the Superior Compound. Whenever that group of old fogies got together, they only spend all day gossiping, and they even went as far as to say that Older Brother isn’t fit to specialize in Martial Qi!”

“They didn’t recognize me.” Baili Jia Jue took the chubby wrists and pried the bands open.

‘Kacha’ sounded, those Weights Bands fell onto the ground.

“Mm hm.” Little Bald Head’s whole face was vigorous with new strength. Soon after, he grumbled about how he felt a bit wronged, “Actually Master said it’s wrong to use brute force to fight, so as a punishment, I can’t eat meat for one week.”

Shadow: […..Then what are you holding in your hand! Hello. Don’t think that you can tell a lie just because you’re the seventh prince!]

“Shadow.” After Baili Jia Jue heard, his expression didn’t change one bit. He took those weights bands and added them to his own wrists as he said neither quickly nor slowly, “Go bring some beef jerky over here.

“Yes!” Shadow’s shadow moved away. Not much time passed before he brought an oily paper bag.

Little Kong Chen came over and his cute eyes shined as he took a couple of bites with a wide opened mouth. While his mouth was chewing the beef, he still didn’t forget to disclose some information, “Older Brother, you should still quickly transfer to the Superior Compound. There are some high officials’ sons over there who doesn’t know your identity, and is always looking to cause trouble for you. They even came looking for me, inciting me to go fight with you. Humph humph, those idiots simply don’t want to live!”

“Go back after you finish eating.” Baili Jia Jue’s words were very flat.

Little Kong Chen gave up hope and dropped his eyes, but after awhile, raised his head again. “Older Brother, I followed Master yesterday and entered the palace.”

“Hmm?” Baili Jia Jue brushed and brushed the nonexistent dust from his body, waiting for him to continue speaking.

Little Kong Chen asked cutely, “Did you really want to select an Imperial Consort?”

Baili Jia Jue’s fingers paused. “No.”

“But Royal Grandfather said that this time, the purpose of the armaments test is to set the stage for you to choose a consort. Royal Father also agreed.” Little Kong Chen’s pair of cheeks puffed up like drums as he ate, his big and round eyes were filled with shining delight, “Older Brother, you have to choose one who can cook good food. Otherwise, you’ll go hungry!”
