The Anarchic Consort c1-1376

by Warring Young Seven

  Wasn't this woman supposed to be dead? Why was she here?!

  And what about that overwhelming aura?!

  Now Helian Wei Wei was like a phoenix born from the fire, her body is full of light that made it hard for people to look straight at!

  But before she started, Yuan Ming opened his mouth from the mysterious spatial space, "Woman, this atmosphere is not right. There seems to be a hint of the chemical powder in the air. Your future grandfather-in-law is poisoned. If you do not heal his wounds, he will probably die at this age. You should consider whether to take the opportunity to make a good impression on your future grandfather-in-law or kill those two first."

  Helian Wei Wei was originally full of murderous spirit from Yuan Xiao Ming's calling the Retired Emperor as her future grandfather-in-law left and right. Her lips twitched twice. In the end, what the hell is that appellation?

  Before Helian Wei Wei could make a decision, someone pulled her arm.

  "You go and help the Retired Emperor to heal."

  The man's voice was deep as if he was accustomed to using a commanding tone.

  Helian Wei Wei looked at him sideways. She could only see her deskmate's blindfolded eyes, his noble and indifferent face, ever arrogant yet extremely cold...

  The old man in black wielding a weapon glanced at the man standing in front of him and sneered, "You want to stop this old man all by your lonesome?"

  As he spoke, he pushed the weapon to the ground, and a scarlet flame mythical beast turned up as if from the sea of flames, staring fiercely at Baili Jia Jue.

  The shadows in the fire set off him like a demon in the dark. The temperature around him almost reached the extreme point. The scorching waves tore Baili Jia Jue's silvery jacket that fluttered fiercely. From a distance, it seemed as if a white lotus blooming in the sky was about to be swallowed up by the fire. He merely held out a hand in a calm and unhurried way and slowly pulled the cloth covering his face. At last, he threw it aside without a care.

  He slowly opened his eyelids. His ink-black pupils were like dyed with golden flecks, directed at the eyes of the scarlet flame mythical beast...

  The scarlet mythical beast suddenly came to a standstill and then stiffened. Soon after, with an even more frightening manner, it turned toward the old man in black who had cast the spell and opened its mouth wide like a sacrificial bowl.

  The old man in black could not even be surprised. In almost a thousandth of a second, the thin protective barrier was swept by the torrential tongue of fire, instantly turning into a wisp of steam, and the flame gradually wrapped up his whole body!

  The only thing he could feel was a burning pain.

  His ears could hear the voice from hell, "If you dare touch my prey, you have to pay the price."

  Bang!

  The elder in black crashed to the ground.

  Everyone's eyes widened in surprise and they looked incredulously at Baili Jia Jue!

  Especially those ministers, they could not even believe that there was such an ace in the world!

  He could destroy the flame in an instant, kill people and demolish martial armaments with only one move!

  Was this what an ordinary academy student can do? Who on earth was this man?

  The ministers looked at each other in dismay, they were full of questions.

  Only Helian Wei Wei did not look toward this side but observed everyone's injuries and health conditions. As soon as her hands touched the Retired Emperor, she found that this time the chemical powder was different from the past!

  Chapter 240 - Wei Wei detoxified the poison

  Helian Wei Wei wrinkled her willowy eyebrows. She went to examine the second person's hand.

  Bursts of evil laughter came out from the other old man in black's throat, like a demon's. "Hehehe, don't waste your energy. This is not your ordinary chemical powder. In it, a second drug was added. No matter what, you won't be able to solve it!"

  "He is right! In addition to the chemical powder, there was also bone-eroding powder in it!" There was no shortage of imperial physicians who served by the Retired Emperors side. This sentence made all four people alarmed!

  The tournament outside the pavilion was still buzzing with activity.

  But at this time, nobody had the inclination to watch.

  Nobody could have anticipated that the feast would turn into a disaster!

  Bone-eroding powder was a highly toxic, colourless and odourless powder, which had already been lost for many years. For those who did not have martial qi, it might only make people feel their whole body limp, like soft cotton.

  However, for those with outstanding martial qi, at the moment their qi was activated, the poison would permeate their body.

  If the antidote was not administered within 6 hours, even the immortals would not have any power to reverse it!

  As soon as the Imperial Physician's voice fell, a minister beside him could not support himself. He fell on the ground, his complexion turned green, not because he was furious, but a sign that the poisoning had spread. After using martial qi, the bone-eroding powder was triggered!!

  Looking at the scene before his eyes, the Retired Emperor's stared at his facial expression.

  The elder in black began to laugh heartily again. The gloomy cawing sound that made people feel unwell reverberated throughout the room. "Do you think these two brats will be able to save you? There are very few people in the world who can remove the bone-eroding poison. I'd like to see how long you can persist!"

  Having heard that, Baili Jia Jue moved. His eyes and eyebrows were cold as ice, the mighty martial qi's moved to spread his sleeves out to create an endless dome, watery mists rushed forth.

  "Even if you have a lot of martial qi, you're also unable to use it up this way. If you have talent, it's too unskilled. It's only the water rank. Oh, water can put out the fire, but it can't kill this old man!" The old man in black looked at him and gave a sudden sneer. As he spoke, his body soared to attack fiercely. It seemed as if he could wrest control of Baili Jia Jue in the next second!

  Baili Jia Jue's mood was not confused a bit, his voice was indifferent with a threat of cold arrogance, "Oh, is that right?"

  That old man in black was stunned by the imposing remark.

  At the next moment, the droplets of water that had fallen on the old man in black's body suddenly burst forth into ice crystals. Then, the ice crystals above grew into sharp and pointed crystals. These crystals resembled crazily growing vines, and in a flash pierced a bloody hole in his body!

  Baili Jia Jue lifted him with one hand and said coldly, "Speak, where is the antidote?"

  "I did not expect there are still such people by the Retired Emperor' side... The old devil and I were unexpectedly defeated by an adolescent boy. But, don't think this old man will take out an antidote!"

  Before he finished speaking, the elder in black spilt dark red blood from his mouth.

  He committed suicide by taking poison!

  Helian Wei Wei looked at the pool of blood. Apart from the bones, not a single trace was left by the elder in black. Her brows were raised.

  This technique was designed to eliminate evidence.

  It seemed that the other party was afraid to let people know where they came from.

  "Retired Emperor, what should we do now?"

  Their death implied that the antidote was gone. How would this not make the Minister feel anxious?

  The Retired Emperor turned his head and looked at the Imperial Physician. "Imperial Physician Chen, can you do something about it?"

  The Imperial Physician shook his head, it was an extremely thorny problem. "The toxicity of bone-eroding powder is too strong and there is only one chance to detoxify it. If the herbs used were incorrect, the poisoned person's blood vessels will flow in reverse and immediately die!"

  Suddenly, the house fell into silence, death was like a pair of invisible hands grasping everyone's throat.

  Right at this moment.

  Helian Wei W
ei, who stood on the side and did not speak for a long time, opened her mouth, "I have a way."

  Her voice was light and delicate.

  The ministers unconsciously wrinkled their brows, and then looked at Helian Wei Wei's eyes to probe.

  Helian Wei Wei curled her thin lower lips, "What is it? You don't seem to believe me very much."

  The Retired Emperor was well aware of her temperament. He knew this girl never had any apprehensions about others' status. He opened his mouth, "We are all about to die, what are there to believe. Girl, if you can solve this bone-eroding poison, this emperor promises that not only I, the emperor, all the ministers present will owe you a favour. If you have a need in the future, you can always use our help. "

  "With the words of the Retired Emperor, it's much convenient for me to act." Helian Wei Wei glanced at the just awoken Eunuch Sun and helped him up, "Eunuch Sun, please go and ask someone to prepare seven big bath water. Make the water to a bubbling boil, and make ready a jar of wine each for all the ministers."

  Eunuch Sun was stunned. The bathtub? What's the meaning of this? Is this detoxification or taking a bath?

  One of the ministers also opened his mouth, he had a very good attitude, "The old man did not believe in the little girl's idea, but this bone-eroding powder is the most resistant against luck. Even if it is an expert who has reached the peak of the golden rank, he may not be able to get rid of the poison. If the old man did not remember correctly, you should have no martial qi in your body? In that case, you don't have to take risks. The old man is afraid that you will be implicated in the future."

  "General Nalan is right." The Imperial Physician sighed softly and said, "The most terrible thing about bone-eroding powder is that anyone who wants to force the poisonous gas out of the poisoned person's body by means of martial qi will not succeed in the end, but will also be poisoned. So, Miss Helian, you must think twice before you act."

  Helian Wei Wei saw these old men were pretty good people. She smiled and said, "Are you General Nalan? Please be at ease, I and your family's Ye Zi are friends. I will not gamble with your life, let alone do something that is uncertain".

  Old General Nanalan was stunned, but he didn't know that his granddaughter, who disliked women, would have friends.

  "It's still too risky." The Imperial Physician was not sure, "By merely listening to the lady's instructions, it's really a person who understands medicine."

  The Retired Emperor listened to the noise below while everyone was paying attention to Helian Wei Wei. He raised his eyebrows and questioned the silent youth standing beside him in a low voice.

  "Can she really do it?"

  Baili Jia Jue did not say a word. His fingers slowly and deliberately twisted around the white strip of cloth in his hand.

  The Retired Emperor was helpless against his beloved grandson. He conceded and explained to him, "It's not that this emperor didn't believe your chosen princess. She just doesn't have the martial qi in her body?"

  Baili Jia Jue curled his mouth into a smile. The word "princess" sounded so good in his ears.

  "Exactly because she doesn't have a martial in her body. So, the matter of detoxifying the poison, as much as she can accomplish."

  Without martial qi, she would not be affected by bone-eroding powder...

  Chapter 241 - The tournament starts!

  Bang!

  The bucket of bath water fell.

  Eunuch Sun courteously asked Helian Wei Wei, "Eldest Miss, the bucket of water and the wine are now ready. Would you like something else?"

  "There's still the firewood." Helian Wei Wei did not raise her head.

  "Yes..." Eunuch Sun hesitated for a moment and asked people to prepare the things supposed to be used for bathing.

  After the firewood was brought in, Helian Wei Wei ordered people to boil water, and then had the Retired Emperor and all the ministers sit in the cask.

  The scene was not so much saving lives as steaming people with boiling water.

  Under the cask was an iron rack. Below it, firewood was burning. The firewood burned more and more vigorously. In a short time, the room became full of steam.

  Up to now, the ministers were in a daze. They were resigned to keep trying everything in this desperate situation. They didn't believe at all that the little girl in front of them can help them rid the bone-eroding poison.

  When Helian Wei Wei saw the water was boiled, she poured all the wine in the wine jar into the bath buckets.

  Doing these things, she did not spend more than the time it took an incense stick to burn.

  When a doctor saved a person, whatever he did seemed particularly convincing.

  "You can detoxify this way?" Eunuch Sun looked at His Majesty anxiously. Wouldn't this be unsafe should there be a mishap to the Retired Emperor and the other old men?

  Helian Wei Wei was totally unaffected by others. She even got Yuan Ming to pick a tomato from the mysterious spatial space to compensate for her physical strength.

  She stood lazily in the midst of the vapour and tested the water temperature in the barrel with her hand.

  Helian Wei Wei randomly took the medical ingredients brought by the Imperial Physician and threw them into the bathtub one by one.

  The boiling water took those medicinal herbs to the bottom of the cask in an instant, and the smell of medicine in the room became more and more concentrated. The smell made Yuan Ming choked when he breathing it in, "Woman, what are you doing putting these things in a hideous mess? You don't need these things to detoxify them. Martial artists only need to use internal force to remove the poison in them."

  "Didn't do this to make myself look more professional?" Helian Wei Wei continued throwing medicinal herbs inside and lazily answered, "Otherwise, if I detoxify them as soon as I start, everyone will know that I am a martial artist. Now I also have an identity of a phoenix so that I can not expose my strength. Moreover... this makes my medical skills seem more outstanding."

  Yuan Ming was finally convinced.

  When he looked sideways, the Imperial Physician seriously memorized what kind of herbs Helian Wei Wei had thrown into the cask, even the order of the herbs that she had thrown in. He whispered, giving a look that he was very clear about something and had on an expectant look that blatantly showed"I memorized it"!

  What was this all about at such a time?

  "All right." Helian Wei Wei released the herbs in her hands, then sat on the floor, palms supporting the outside of the cask, with a little effort!

  With the previous steaming of alcohol and sweat, it took only a second for the poisonous gas to spill out of the barrel.

  The ministers looked at the surge of black gas and knew they were saved!

  One after another, they sat straight with both legs folded and eyes closed.

  Helian Wei Wei frowned, she felt that doing this one by one was a waste of time. She simply put one hand on one side of the cask, while exerting force, boiling water to a rolling boil and the top of the barrel formed a silent air stream.

  All were silent in the midst of detoxification and couldn't detect what happened.

  Only Baili Jia Jue slowly and deliberately twirling his fingers, his black ring emitted black light, the image reflected in his pupils, appear particularly bright. He looked at how Helian Wei Wei used her power, like a smile yet not a smile...

  This woman was like a bottomless mystery.

  He genuinely wanted to know what she would look like when he peeled away the layers of her mystery one by one.

  Baili Jia Jue curled his thin lips evilly.

  "You must not move around yet." Helian Wei Wei stood up, brushed the dust off her body, and smilingly said, "Your bodies are still too weak. Wait until this incense finished burning, and then we'll see."

  Being able to detoxify their poison already made the ministers amazed. Now they heard that they could restore their martial spirit with only the time it took an incense stick to burn.

  Everyone could not help but
look at Helian Wei Wei.

  Although they were not like those madams and young ladies of the boudoirs who love to talk about the rumours and slanders in the capital, they also knew that the eldest daughter of the Helian family was useless.

  But today, she unexpectedly solved the bone-eroding poison that nobody could solve!

  She pulled all of them from death back to life!

  The ministers did not know how to describe their mood at this moment. They only looked at Helian Wei Wei. For a moment, their heart seemed to overturn with all kind of flavours: sour, sweet, bitter, and salty. The feelings were uncommon.

  "Girl, the great favour this time has earned my Nalan family's undying gratitude!" Old General Nalan was full of heroism, "Speak anytime you have a need of the Nalan family!"

  Even Imperial Physician Jiang, who was known as the "god doctor whose hands could bring the dying back to life" was at Helian Wei Wei's side and said enthusiastically, "It was unexpected that the bone-eroding poison was solved using this method. By being immersed in boiling water, the poison was removed from the pore, and those medicinal materials certainly played a helpful role."

  Yuan Ming chuckled, "This old man is so silly and naive."

  "You can shut up." After answering Yuan Ming's words in her stream of consciousness, Helian Wei Wei turned her head and said, "Retired Emperor, I have something else to do. Since the poison has been cleared up, my friend and I will ask to be excused first."

  Friend?

  Eunuch Sun's eyes automatically fell on his master.

  His Highness had to follow when the Retired Emperor was seriously hurt?

  "You go first." Baili Jia Jue's face was cold and handsome, a smile was plastered on his face. "I'll stay here and rest for a while."

  Helian Wei Wei frowned, "Rest? Are you injured?"

  "No." As if he were trapped, Baili Jia Jue rubbed his eyes with his slender fingers. "We walked the whole night. It's too tiring."
