The Anarchic Consort c1-1376

by Warring Young Seven

  That was the scene that Nangon Lie saw when he came in. He smiled evilly and shook his head, "tsk, tsk... This is probably the first time a woman has resisted your charms, looks like our little kitten's not actually yearning for your highness."

  Baili Jia Jue's slender forefinger lazily played with his thumb ring as he glanced at Nangong Lie, seeming elegant but a sense of alienation rippled within, hard to approach yet very fascinating.

  Seeing that he wasn't showing any reaction, Nangon Lie got more brave and continued to talk. "That's why everybody's saying Helian family's eldest daughter is infatuated with Murong family's young master. I believe it is probably like this, or she wouldn't…"

  He wasn't able to finish his sentence as Baili Jia Jue's glare shocked him senseless.

  Along with the sound of 'pacha', Baili Jia Jue's youthful and strong figure slowly and calmly walked out, becoming a creature of the night.

  Nangong Lie stood bewildered, looking at the fragments of the thumb ring on the ground, his mouth wide agape he couldn't move at all.

  He... Was he angry just now?

  Chapter 34 - Testing Starts

  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!"

  Shadow:[…..ah, aah, Seventh Prince, did you think that everyone was like you, a chowhound?!]

  Baili Jia Jue took off the outer robe on his body and dr.a.p.ed it on the little guy, then replied, "I already know, go on back."

  "Older Brother, everybody is saying that you sold yourself to a girl, but the one that the girl likes isn't you. Instead, it's that Lord Murong something, is this really true?"

  Shadow suddenly shivered. [Seventh Prince, oh Seventh Prince, why didn't you ask about something else. You just had to ask about this!]

  Baili Jia Jue paused, raised his hand and placed it into his pocket. When he lowered his head, it was even easier to see his sturdy and powerful muscles, perfectly formed and without defects, dazzling others.

  "Helian Wei Wei….." He laughed deeply after he spoke this name. The tip of his tongue licked over thin lips and burst into a bloodthirsty laugh. A north wind whistled past and caused his cape to flutter up and down, revealing a gorgeous appearance that, at any time, could make one gasp in surprise as it was etched. Of course, his detached coldness made one unable to feel any warmth at all…..

  When it came to the admissions test, the most widely attended event would be none other than the martial arts competition.

  Allegedly, this time's martial arts competition would be personally overseen by Grandmaster. Superior Compound's genius Murong Chang Feng would be referee. Those who ranked in the top three in the martial competition would gain the qualifications to move from another compound into the Superior Compound, while those who failed would be eliminated.

  Therefore, people from the two Fine and Good compounds swelled with enthusiasm, precisely due to the opportunity to enter the whole world's most outstanding Superior Compound!

  "Look you guys, those two people from the Inferior Compound really did come!"

  Everybody didn't restrain nor hide their mockery at all. Helian Mei snorted coldly, "Forget about that gentleman, I really fail to understand what kind of opportunity that good-for-nothing can blindly look to exploit by following along."

  "Third Sister, how many times have I told you. That's Oldest Sister, after all." When in front of others, Helian Jiao Er appeared as though she always cherished her friends and family.

  Everybody always saw her as being kind-hearted and liked her even more, "Second Miss, she's but a good-for-nothing. Why would you speak on her behalf? All of us have already heard about how she used to bully you to no small extent!"

  "It's so true, Second Sister. Look at how arrogant that good-for-nothing looks. Who knows, maybe some kind of miracle will happen. Anyways, this couldn't be the same as last time when even the crystal ball wouldn't light at all, right? Then that'd be just too shameful, ha ha ha!" Helian Mei laughed out loud, her words were packed with derision.

  Helian Jiao Er purposefully pretended to glare at her, then she turned to look over at Helian Wei Wei with an 'I pity you' look, "Oldest Sister should just try your best. After all, your body doesn't contain the slightest bit of Qi. You absolutely mustn't mind the results and also shouldn't lose your temper."

  Everyone at the arena knew that words could not express how shameful Wei Wei was during the Qi testing last time. She exerted all her efforts whil
e touching the crystal ball, face streaming with sweat and swaying. She put in so much effort that eventually, a very tiny, basically negligible amount of vapor rose inside the crystal ball. This could've just been passed over, yet she still insisted on being grouped with Murong Chang Feng and stood on the martial arts competition stage. Someone merely raised a fist and she was sent flying. In short, Helian Wei Wei, this good-for-nothing, was a joke.

  If the idiot stopped at this point, people still wouldn't have said anything. Unfortunately, this clown didn't even possess the minimum self-awareness and was always dangling herself in front of them. This time, in spite of everything, in order to arouse Murong Chang Feng's attention, she was recklessly competing in Martial Qi again. It's really sickening, having no sense of shame.

  They could foresee the result of the exam this time using their toe for a brain. The one in last place no doubt would be Helian Wei Wei, that good-for-nothing!

  Helian Wei Wei naturally knew what kind of gaze the surrounding people were using to look at her. She's too used to that expression mixing ridicule and disdain. However, she didn't care one bit. So much so that she lazily yawned. Her smile reflecting both lethargy and nobleness stood out a lot. Even though she's in the middle of such a big arena, she could still immediately grab everybody's gaze.

  * Adorkable = dorky + adorable. A slang and listed in the Urban Dictionary

  Chapter 35 - Master and Disciple

  Was she mistaken? That s.l.u.t's face seemed to be a little fairer?

  Helian Mei was totally in a bad mood since the good-for-nothing had snatched away her limelight. A cold light passed over her eyes, "Don't know how in the world that good-for-nothing was able to get someone's teaching. She unexpectedly seems a bit different."

  "Don't worry, Younger Sister." Helian Jiao Er looked left and right, only when seeing no one around, did she clap her hand and said in a soft voice, "Older Sister already helped you arrange it. You and that good-for-nothing will be placed in the same group. Even if you don't do anything, when test time comes later, you can still make her totally lose face. She actually can't light the crystal ball at all."

  Thinking of this scene, the ends of Helian Mei's mouth also lifted up, her eyes overflowed with poisonous thoughts…..

  "Let the Qi testing officially begin!"

  Right after these words were uttered, white haired grey elders and Murong Chang Feng stood up from their wooden chairs at the same time as their revered white gowns floated up.

  The winds from all four directions also seemed stand still, permeating the air with a profoundness that made people unconsciously moderate their state of mind.

  Something similar to a transparent cylinder rose upward from the middle of the arena, its body was entirely silver colored, dispersing gentle rays of light. Also, on top of it, a not very big nor small crystal sphere that was being supported was perched on it. The crystal sphere was unbelievably clear and transparent.

  Everybody, as if they were faced with a physical examination, one by one went up on stage. They only needed to place their hand on top of the crystal sphere, awaken the power within their own bodies and pour that into it. The special material within the crystal would react in a way that corresponded to the person facing it. If the person's attribute was metal, the sphere would change into a dazzling yellow color, but one was of a fire attribute, the crystal sphere would change into a fiery red sphere. Whether the attribute was at a high or low level would be decided by how intense the level of brightness emitted by the sphere was. The more intense the brightness was, the higher the corresponding qi level was. The darker the sphere was, the less the corresponding qi level was.

  Helian Wei Wei looked at the crystal sphere that was at times bright and and at times dark, it emitted a brightness which radiated all around the surrounding areas. There was only one thought in her heart. When time came for her to leave White Academy, she's got to to take this crystal sphere with her. A crystal sphere with more perfect facets would not be easy to come by.…..

  Helian Wei Wei didn't care that he saw through her thoughts, the ends of her mouth curved upwards, the light in her eyes was sparkling.

  Baili Jia Jue took note of her movements, his eyebrows lifted a bit, didn't say anything, only leisurely turned and turned the teacup in his hand, thin lips a little contemplative…..

  "Next group, Defense Division's Helian Mei battles Helian Wei Wei!"

  Murong Chang Feng's chilly voice sounded out, neither too high nor too low, as if conducting some sacred event, only, it was obvious that the sound of his voice this time carried a faint trace of disdain.

  Helian Wei Wei stood up from her own seat, leisurely smoothed out her left sleeve, expression indifferent, lazily stretched her waist.

  Everybody's gaze once again swung over, they looked at the sole person possessing Helian clan's bloodline, this willful girl without a shred of qi. Their eyes were filled with derision.

  Helian Mei turned all around and laughed, on her face was a complacency that was difficult to hide, waited until she arrived in front of Wei Wei and coldly laughed, "S.l.u.t, you didn't turn stupid looking at Lord Murong again, did you? I urge you to stop daydreaming. Do you know who is the Grandmaster up there?"

  Wei Wei glanced at the old one standing by the crystal sphere. It was very obvious that she was not very interested in the topic Helian Mei brought up.

  Helian Mei couldn't stand this attitude of hers and looked condescendingly, "He is actually Dragon War Empire's most outstanding Grandmaster. He has a strength that you have no way to attain even if you drain all of your life. However, this kind of person actually treats Second Sister differently. It's simply laughable that you still want to compare with Second Sister in vain!"

  Wei Wei's finger paused a bit.

  This slight movement of course didn't escape Helian Mei's notice, she lifted her chin, her voice triumphantly said, "Aah, so you know how to be afraid now. Allegedly, that Grandmaster usually hides his identity very carefully and has never showed himself easily. This time he must've appeared because of Second Sister. Hey, hey, you don't need to use this kind of gaze on me. You probably haven't even had a chance to glimpse at this Grandmaster before."

  Wei Wei didn't speak and only lifted her eyes to glance at the old one looking at her. The ends of her mouth curved slightly upwards. What, should she tell Helian Mei, the Grandmaster that Helian Mei said she wouldn't even have had a chance to glimpse before, actually is her own Master...

  Helian Mei saw Wei Wei's head lower and grew even more satisfied in her heart. It turned out that there were still times when this girl can get scared. Then it's all the better!

  It's just that she didn't get to see the smile on Wei Wei's lowered face. The curve of her smile was expanding, it contained derision, pointlessness, profoundness, not the least bit of caring; the only thing it didn't contain was fear.

  At this time, the two of them already arrived beside the crystal sphere. Helian Mei accepted it first with a mocking face. She turned towards two elders and smiled very innocently as she bowed most politely, "Greetings to the two elders."

  Compared to Helian Mei, Helian Wei Wei obviously was absentminded and a bit casual.

  Grandmaster almost foamed at the mouth, appearing aggrieved. He had thought that his good disciple would be so very happy to see him appear here that she would jump for joy and embrace him, making others jealous to death!

  But how could Disciple…..how could she be so coldly indifferent.

  Could it be that she didn't like his coming over personally to see her take the test?

  Ai…..it really wasn't easy to accept a disciple, yet they couldn't acknowledge one another.

  "Cough!" Wei Wei placed her hand beside her mouth and ignored the old one's bitter gaze as much as possible as she said indifferently, "Before the test, I would like to speak a few words with Grandmaster privately."

  Very obviously, Murong Chang Feng didn't expect that Wei Wei would make this kind of request. After a slig
ht daze, his eyes filled up with disgust.

  Everybody followed in turning down the corners of their mouth in disdain due to Wei Wei's current action, which in their eyes undoubtedly was an attempt to fawn over someone again. They saw her gaze and became even more disdainful. Heh, just wait until this good-for-nothing to make a fool of herself. One should know that this person, Grandmaster, had a very strange temper. In his belief, there's no concept of doting on the younger generation, and despised the most this kind of total kiss up. Watch how Grandmaster was going to deal with her in a while!

  Sitting on a wood chair, Baili Jia Jue, changed his posture slightly; the fingers which propped up his chin started to tap his chin while his eyes looked up slightly, and seemed like he finally became aware of something. Within his eyes streaked an unknown light…..

  Murong Chang Feng, who looked like he didn't even want to say anything to Wei Wei, furrowed his thick brows and was going to open his mouth.

  Then he heard the Grandmaster's deep voice, "Alright."

  One word blocked all of Murong Chang Feng's words. However, the Grandmaster's expression was so unsightly that it must be due to the anger that's coming at the good-for-nothing.

  Murong Chang Feng again was glad that he broke the engagement.

  Because this kind of ingratiating girl, who anyone would want to get rid of after meeting, really didn't deserve him!

  Chapter 36 - Counterattack Starts

  Helian Wei Wei simply didn't care how everybody looked at her. She turned around, lowered her voice to a whisper, and said beside the old one's ear, "No matter what happens later, Master must pretend that you don't know me."

  "Disciple, are you really not going to acknowledge me? This Master is heartbroken." The more the old man spoke, the more he expressed his hidden bitterness.

  Wei Wei saw that Helian Mei was coming nearer and hurriedly finished what she was saying, "Remember what I've just said."
