The Anarchic Consort c1-1376

by Warring Young Seven

  "Brat!" An elderly man dressed in a showy white fur robe rushed in from outside, he was still panting as he said, "This old man knew it, you would definitely be here!"

  Baili Jia Jue did not care about him as he did not even take a single glance at his fur robe. He only looked on coldly, causing the old man to subconsciously swallow his saliva.

  He stabilized his breathing, then switched to using sincere and heartfelt words, "The Grand Advisor did a divination, and the divinatory trigram showed that within three days you would encounter your life's…hey hey hey, don't tug at me, if you continue to tug at me I'll get angry, okay!"

  "Grandmaster!" Shadow lowered his voice as he looked directly at the most revered Armament Master of the kingdom. There was no other reason but fear that his master would beat people to death the moment he was unhappy!

  The old man immediately shook him off, pointed inside the palace hall and shouted, "Brat, everything that this old man has said is true, there is Movement of the Red Phoenix Star, there will definitely be a calamity that follows, if you still want to keep your freedom to do whatever you want, you need to immediately hail me as your master and this old man will help you to solve that divination!"

  "Get, out." A deep dark voice resonated from within the palace hall, as if it contained a countless amount of light ice blades that could slice through his throat at any time.

  It really caused one to tremble with fear!

  The old man's voice that was raised immediately withered, as he pulled back his throat, "Fine then, even if you don't want to hail me as your master, you should come back to White Academy at least. If you still don't come back to class, this old man will fail you!" After saying this, he slipped away.

  In a secret place, the foreheads of the palace eunuchs that were standing at the side were all matted with cold sweat. They trembled as their arms were drooped and didn't even dare to raise their heads.

  Seeing that the old man had left, Baili Jia Jue did not stop him. He merely propped himself up with the back of a chair, standing up from the bench. A black colored feathered cape slowly raised its head, the pair of narrow pupils appeared as if it had found a joy within this insipid life; they got deeper and more demonic…

  "Movement of the Red Phoenix Star? Heh, this palace wants to see if a dead Red Phoenix can still move about."

  Chapter 11 - Having Her as a Disciple

  A slight breeze ruffled the man's hair, displaying those dim yet there was a glint in them that made it all the more intimidating.

  The eunuchs shivered as they felt a chill running down their spines!

  [My lord we're begging you, please stop smiling, it's not like your normal behaviour.]

  [Who in the world offended you, call her out, we promise we won't bash her to death!]

  And right now Tu Lao was standing outside of the palace with his hands behind his back, hastily pacing back and forth, until the Elder came out from the palace. Tu Lao's eyes glimmered, quickly went up to him, "Grandmaster, you finally came out."

  "Oh it's you, Tu Lao." The Grandmaster was also the esteemed Grand Advisor, other than being friendly and amiable towards this friend of his, he was still an almighty figure in the eyes of others. ""How was the Armament Master Assembly?"

  Hearing the Elder's question, Tu Lao remembered the scene at the Phoenix Loft, his aged face excited and flushed. "Truth be told, this old man here found an extraordinary genius during the assembly!"

  "Oh? There's such a thing?" the Grandmaster laughed, not taking it seriously. "The pupil you accepted, Murong Chang Feng, his talent is also pretty good, if you accept another disciple, your life would be perfect, not like me, I'm still alone with no disciple."

  Tu Lao waved his hand "Grandmaster don't tease me anymore, in the Dragon War Empire, who doesn't know that you have a ridiculously high standard, if you would lower your standards, your door would be broken by the amount of people knocking on your door who wants to be your pupil."

  The Grandmaster smiled, yet in his heart wasn't smiling.

  It's just...

  Who said that if he lowered his standard, his door would be broken?

  Every single day…He came knocking on that person's door, and yet that punk had no signs of wanting to be his disciple!

  Gnashing his teeth….. the more he thought about it, the more he wanted to cry!

  "No, no! That's not what I wanted to say!" Tu Lau suddenly remembered the reason he came here for, as he pulled out a black cloth, his voice trembling "That girl used less than an hour to assemble this weapon, compared to her, the difference between my disciple and her is simply heaven and earth!"

  The Grandmaster only saw a flash of light passed his eyes, then when his gaze finally rested on the shining weapon, he quickly grabbed the whip, and stared at Tu Lao with wide eyes: "The person you mentioned, where is she now?!"

  "I also do not know her whereabouts!" Tu Lao had never seen the Grandmaster made this expression before, he gulped and continue to say "When I got there, she already took the money and left."

  This didn't dampen the Grandmaster's excitement "What's her name? Where did she come from?"

  When Tu Lao heard his question, he hit his head with his palm. "Ah! I was in a rush, and even forgot to ask her name!" Tu Lao sighed heavily.

  The Grandmaster was stunned, as he bitterly smiled while shaking his head," Tu Lao, how can you be this stupid at the most important moment!"

  Even without his old friend reminding him, he was also very regretful that he felt like dying, using his fist to repeatedly hitting his palm, while pacing around the palace.

  The Grandmaster's eyes drooped down, it was not known whether was he saying something to Tu Lao, or he was just talking to himself. "Nine Tunes Silver Snake, other than that punk who can make it, it's very rare for someone to have such a meticulous mind anymore, this old man here really wants to meet this young brat, and ask her to be my disciple….."

  What?!

  Tu Lao abruptly looked up and gawked at his best friend!

  Who was the Grandmaster?

  The most respected Grand Advisor in the Dragon War Empire, any armament that he made, was more precious than any gold or silver, it was what any cultivator dreamt of obtaining.

  And yet, he was unconstrained, usually no one knew his whereabouts, even the Emperor can't do anything to him.

  Hordes of people wanted the Grandmaster to be their master, anyone from regular citizens to prestigious prodigies from noble clans, not one didn't bring luxurious gift, trying to garner his favour.

  Yet, they couldn't even see him in person.

  It was just five years ago, he even said "In his whole life, he would only have one disciple, and that's Baili Jia Jue!"

  Unfortunately after that, the third prince lost his profound qi, even though he still had the aura, but's just for show, naturally Baili Jia Jue didn't have the life to become the Grandmaster's disciple….

  And now he said that he wanted to accept a disciple again!

  I wonder if the news went out, will it shock the whole capital...

  ...

  Bang!

  Helian Wei Wei took a deep breath, feeling the energy flowing in her meridians, from the dantian to her limbs, she didn't even do anything,when suddenly, a formless jet black gas just smashed into the rock that was by the riverside into dust!

  "Woman, the poison in your body is all cleared!" Yuan Ming smiled evilly "Later I will unseal all the meridians that have been blocked, the pain would be a hundred times more painful than this, are you sure you can withstand it?" Saying until here he hesitated, licked his lips " You know you can choose the second way, if you are willing to give me your soul, you don't need to do anything, and I will fulfill all your dreams, why do you need to suffer...."

  Helian Wei Wei rolled up her sleeves, her pristine forehead had a sheen with a thin layer of sweat, she smirked " Yuan Ming put away your ruffian tone, I told you I'm not that stupid, I will never sell my soul out, anyway….the most important th
ing is, I have to personally return what they have done to me, and it's the best feeling ever!"

  Yuan Ming was stunned, suddenly smiled, "Woman, you're very interesting."

  Yet this woman...Hehe, she's worth awhile to watch.

  "Since you have decided, then I'll start unblocking your meridians now." Yuan Ming curved up his lips. "Though I wasn't lying about the pain."

  As soon as he finished his sentence, Helian Wei Wei felt as if all her muscles were like sliced by a sharp knife, she could feel the coldness in her whole body, the pain made her lips lose it's color.

  And despite the excruciating pain, she didn't tell Yuan Ming to stop, but clenched her fists tightly, as she scrunched up her face, bearing with it all!

  Until finally when the torment had passed, she felt waves of warmth. One layer after another layer enveloped her, and this made her feel very comfortable, it was like her whole body was submerged in a huge warm bathtub, it was so comfortable that she relaxed...

  "My Master, congratulations, you've succeeded!"

  This was the first sentence she heard after her whole body had been tampered. She could sense endless power circulating throughout her body, it was complicated and yet it was simply improving her body every moment, it was an intricate yet rejuvenating process..

  A golden light glimmered around her body, she looks like a star about to burst with life, emitting a blinding light.

  All this, other than herself, no one was able to see it….

  Chapter 12 - Ghost Highness’s Interest

  Because the place where Helian Wei Wei was currently cultivating in, was the very gift that Yuan Ming gave her when they first met…..the Celestial Boundary Spatial Space!

  In here, it wasn't noisy at all. It was all surreal, just the peaceful sound of the river flowing and the slight breeze blowing against the luscious green grass.

  For cultivators, the surroundings were very imperative, training at the Celestial Boundary Spatial Space was a lot better than training at the high mountains, and it was much faster at increasing her Qi!

  There was a saying that Spiritual Energy nourishes Qi.

  Naturally Helian Wei Wei noticed it, squinted her eyes and contemplated for awhile, then she planted a dying strawberry seedling in the ground….

  Actually she was just experimenting, but then what she saw next, astonished her!

  She saw the wilting seedling was recovering absurdly, as if the seedling was absorbing something very nutritious as its weak tender green stems started growing out and spreading open it's leaves, moreover the plant even grew some small white flowers...

  Even Yuan Ming who was standing at the side was also bewildered, though the space belonged to him, he didn't know that the space had properties like this! He only knew that it could benefit the people who trained in here. This new discovery that the space could also work with plants…. holy sh*t, now fruits are growing!

  Yuan Ming blinked a few times, those white furry ears on top of his head twitched. "There's so much strawberries."

  Helian Wei Wei squinted her eyes, rubbing her chin for quite some time, as if she thought of something marvelous, her eyes gleamed so brightly that it scared people!

  Yuan Ming shuddered, didn't even have time to rub his arms, Helian Wei Wei already took out a silver teal, and planted it in the ground...She literally just planted it in the ground!!

  Yuan Ming widened his silver eyes, what the hell was this woman doing!

  Helian Wei Wei didn't say anything, her eyes staring intently at the spot where she buried the money...

  A minute passed by, two minute passed by, three…not even three minutes, Helian Wei Wei unhappily said "So it can't grow money, this space is not so special after all."

  Yuan Ming was speechless, please tell me, who uses the Celestial Boundary Spatial Space to plant money!

  "Though the strawberry tastes pretty good." Wei Wei picked a strawberry and ate it, while she threw another at Yuan Ming.

  Yuan Ming didn't argue with her about the way she fed him as if he was a dog, his white ears twitched, caught the strawberry with his mouth naturally, as he savoured the sweet flavour of the fresh strawberry inside his mouth….

  "These strawberries seems to be different from the ones that are from outside!" Helian Wei Wei's eyes glittered, as she nimbly picked another strawberry, noticing there's a spiritual air around the strawberry, there is no question that it's a benefit for cultivators!

  So to say, the fruits that are grown here, are actually unique, it's existences are like Snow Lotus.

  With them, even if she goes to the White Academy, and even if it was inconvenient to train in the Celestial Boundary Spatial Space, she could still train with half the amount of effort!

  ...…

  At the same time at another location where layers of rose grew on top of the whole palace, looking at it, it looked like the old castles in the seventeenth century.

  At the main seat in the palace, a man was leisurely lying on his side, dressed in a luxurious black robe which was loosely tied, with long black hair, the shade of black as if the darkness of the night was imbued as they fell casually to his side and his contrasting ivory fair skin with defined features. His long fingers covered with black sleeves, only showing an inch of his porcelain skin, making anyone can't help but want to look more.

  He seems to be asleep from his posture, one of his hand lazily supporting his head, one of his hand just resting on the armrest, with his phoenix eyes closed, he looks very indifferent. When a black shadow suddenly appeared in the room, he opened his eyes, there was a glint in them and it was as if he could see through everything in the world.

  "Your Highness, the High Priest has just came out from closed meditation. After hearing what happened between you and Miss Helian, he's very….." can't seem to find a word to describe it, Shadow changed the subject "He's walking in this direction right now."

  The man squinted his cat like eyes, emitting a dangerous aura " Hah, the matter between her and this Lord? What can happen between this Lord and her?"

  Shadow seem to think his master forgot, respectfully replied: "Last time, when Your Highness passed by the General's residence, and came to Miss Helian's rescue."

  "Rescue?" The man stretched out his last word, the coldness in the man's eyes hit straight at Shadow "Are you reminding this Lord about the fact a girl dallianced me?"

  Shadow's whole body stiffened, painfuly gulped "Subordinate…..Subordinate..."

  "Ah Jue, your bullying our young Shadow again, you shouldn't do that."

  Suddenly, the palace door swung open, and a man wearing a bright red robe strode in. his lips curved into a bright smile, above the pristine fox fur neckline, was a face that could captivate any living thing, the blood red robe worn on his figure wasn't flashy, but made his whole figure even more alluring.

  He looked at Baili Jia Jue, teasingly said: "I've heard that you've found an interesting kitten?"

  Baili Jia Jue lazily raised his head, with no change of facial expression, turned the black jade ring on his finger, coldly ordered the servants "Go prepare hot water."

  "Yes!" Shadow lowered his head and accepted the order, in a few moments, a thick layer of steam was floating around in the palace.

  The dissipated and unrestrained man didn't give up on the subject about 'Kitten', his lips curved up, randomly put his arm around Baili Jia Jue's shoulder "I've also heard that the little kitten took advantage of you?"

  Hearing this, Shadow s.u.c.k.e.d in a breath, not for any other reason, but for the recklessness of this man!

  Baili Jia Jue coldly smiled and pushed away his hand, took a napkin and wiped the place where the man touched, his lips curved into an arc "Nangong Lie, do you not want to keep your arm anymore?"

  "Hey, don't act rash, as the High Priest, I have to worry about the Prince's love life!" Nangong Lie took a step back, raised both of his hands showing his innocence.

  He looked at Baili Jia Jue's handsome face, also the robe's elegant nec
kline that had designs that were very low-key …..

  The man in front of his eyes, was like finely carved jade, most of the time his expression was of indifference, even when he lost his Qi. Yet he still has this influential aura like it's has been with him since he was born, he still could oppress the other Princes.

  Baili Jia Jue, truly a man born for the darkness.

  Even he couldn't tell what his capabilities are, moreover, till now he wasn't able to ascertain if Baili Jia Jue really lost his Qi...

  Chapter 13 - Who is the Red Phoenix Star

  However.

  "The person who dares to dalliance you, must be interesting, but Ah Jue….." Nangong Lie recklessly continued "I've heard that the little kitten was born in the Grand Advisor's residence?"

  Baili Jia Jue roughly took off his robe, his expression was cold "Wee you really under closed door meditation? Or collecting rumors?"

  "I know everything even if I'm sitting in a small space." Nangong Lie winked his left eye, bewitching any living thing "Plus when I'm bored, I'll divine your life."

  Baili Jia Jue took the wine cup that was set beside him, casually swirling it, his elegant face was expressionless "If you're trying to talk about the Movement of the Red Phoenix Star, then you can go now."

  "Haha, I know that old man will tell you about it, but what he probably didn't tell you is…." Nangong Lie suddenly lower his voice, "The little kitten that seduced you might be the Red Phoenix Star…"

  Baili Jia Jue's hands paused, turned around, gracefully walked towards the Lotus wooden bathtub, looked at him with a deadpan face, with a warning tone"You better not do anything."

  Nangong Lie elegantly stood up, sat down on the chair that's situated on the side, drowsily yawned, lazily said "Ah Jue, don't tell me you're going to let her go?"

  "Let her go? What stupid things are you saying?" Jia Jue stretched and rested his long legs on the sandalwood desk.

  He reached out his hand throwing his robe to the side, a lock of black hair was unruly hanging in front of his eyes.
