The Anarchic Consort c1-1376

by Warring Young Seven

  Helian Wei Wei felt pain on her knees. She wondered, why is it that every time His Highness talks about something, he would get this and that mixed up together.

  "How come there's such a thing in the academy?"

  With his slender and slim fingers, Baili Jia Jue politely adjusted his collar, and his eyes deepened, "Something must have happened at the Forest of Fantasy."

  Helian Wei Wei listened carefully, then her eyes lit up like she just got the best idea. She was just about to stand up when she got dragged back by the man...

  Chapter 304 - Lock Her Up

  All she heard was a 'clack'.

  Her arms were bound by a beautifully made chain.

  It was a Restrictive Iron Lock, a mythical weapon used to imprison martial artists.

  It is said that there are mostly three of these in the entire War Dragon Empire, and each of them are priceless.

  Helian Wei Wei was someone who practiced martial arts, thus she was most familiar with the function of this kind of thing.

  Was he seriously planning to lock her up?

  Helian Wei Wei frowned.

  She felt a slight chill on her wrist as he slowly touched her skin, "Look, it suits you well." His voice was still deep and calm, with a hint of comfort like the warm spring winds.

  However, Helian Wei Wei could hear the danger hiding beneath that faint and gentle voice.

  The gaze in her eyes darkened and her voice turned cold, "No one will like this sort of suitability, Your Highness. Is this how you treat an ally? But it seems like I still have some value, or else you wouldn't have locked me up with something this expensive."

  Her current situation was not the outcome she wanted to see.

  But it was precisely a certain prince's fetish which seemed to be rather serious that made her suffer from a headache.

  It was probably only him who could give off the feeling of an unapproachable coldness and handsomeness when he's locking someone up with an iron lock.

  Seriously, who's the one at fault here.

  Helian Wei Wei complained inside her head but she was still unwilling to be antagonistic with Baili Jia Jue.

  "What do you need me for? You might as well say it directly so we can end on good terms." Helian Wei Wei decided to speak her mind, thinking that things would be better if she was frank.

  However, she didn't expect Baili Jia Jue's gaze to become colder when she finished speaking.

  End on good terms.

  He looked up and gazed at her calm expression, as if she was trying to negotiate with him. For a moment there he really hated this look.

  He was never in her eyes… never.

  Baili Jia Jue smiled, but that smile was not genuine, "It won't ever end on good terms. What I want can only stay by my side."

  "So Your Highness decided to use such a trick?" Helian Wei Wei shook the lock on her wrist and gave a teasing wink.

  Baili Jia Jue's back stiffened and he clenched his fists tightly underneath the blanket.

  Since when did he need to use such a method to keep a woman.

  Even if it's not his usual style of doing things...

  As the proud Third Prince of the War Dragon Empire, the noblest of the nobles, when did someone reject his request?

  He had the confidence to control everything but… he was helpless against her.

  "What? You feel this method is despicable?" His voice was deep and low yet with a hint of laughter. The breeze blew through his black hair which covered up his beautiful eyes, "Indeed I am a despicable person, much different from what you imagined your deskmate to be. Do you think you can escape now that you have found out about it?" He chuckled.

  Helian Wei Wei couldn't help but stare into his black eyes when she heard the mention of deskmate. The usual transparency had disappeared and was replaced by a biting cold.

  She could even feel the cold air clearly as he neared, as well as the rather chilly breath coming from him.

  Helian Wei Wei was stunned and her hand paused in mid-air. For some reason, she felt something mixed in those cold words, there was a sense of sadness within them; it sounded desperate and gave a feeling of… loneliness.

  Countless oil lamps crashed behind him.

  The wooden table shook violently because of him, and the wind howled.

  He was angry.

  Maybe this time, he would really choke her to death.

  Fire Qilin stood outside. He understood more than anyone that vibration from the blood, almost bursting from its veins and hot enough to scorch his heart!

  He didn't understand what was going on, but the only thing he could be sure of was that this burning sadness was coming from his furious master!

  The doors and windows inside the room clanged in the darkness as the winds roared like wild beasts outside.

  Suddenly, a great gust of wind blew and in a flash, a glass window slammed into the window lattice…

  Baili Jia Jue was directly under it!

  Helian Wei Wei was shocked. She raised her head and looked up at it, she didn't care if he was still angry.

  She dove and changed their positions in a flash.

  At the same time, a 'clang' sound was heard from behind, followed by something large shattering…

  That glass window was nothing but sharp pieces when it slammed onto Helian Wei Wei's arched back. The ground was filled with shattered glass as lighting lit up the room.

  He looked at her, forgetting to move for a moment.

  Helian Wei Wei supported her own body with one hand as the chain clanged, she growled at Baili Jie Jue, "If you can control the weather, then you can dodge it as well! B*stard, you think you can do as you like just because you're handsome?"

  That snapped Baili Jia Jue out of his trance. He lifted her up and as if he was anxious, he touched her back with his fingers.

  Helian Wei Wei shook and once again stopped his hand, "What are you doing?"

  "Take your hands off." Those words couldn't be any more overbearing.

  Helian Wei Wei frowned, is this how he treats his savior?

  But the gentleness in his fingers were very much different from his tone.

  Helian Wei Wei's back was not really hurt since she had done numerous trainings and knew which stance to be in to block when something heavy came crashing down to minimize the damage.

  But being checked like this after getting stripped, she felt as if she was a daily necessity.

  She didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

  As if he was finally done with his checks, Baili Jia Jue looked at the silky smooth back in front of him and gently pulled her into his grasp with his chin almost touching her head, his voice mixed with a barely distinguishable growl, "Wait for me here."

  As Helian Wei Wei looked at how he seemed to be prepared to leave, she raised a brow. At this point, he is still unwilling to release her from this thing?

  Baili Jia Jue seemed to be in a hurry and with a wave of his long sleeve, ordered Shadow who was hiding outside, "Look after the princess consort."

  "As you command." Shadow's face was filled with shock for quite a while already. Seeing his master disappear quickly into the night, he mumbled, "Judging by His Highness' expression, he seems to have guessed that Miss Yun has returned…"

  When she heard what was going on outside, Helian Wei Wei laughed as she lay on the bed.

  I see.

  Isn't his reaction a bit too delayed?

  Helian Wei Wei moved the lock on her wrist mockingly as she stared at the dangling ornament that laid on the floor…

  Chapter 305 - The Crawling Beast

  Out in the dark.

  The silhouette of the Fire Qilin vaguely surfaced.

  Baili Jia Jue threw a glance at him and asked in a soft tone, "How many crawling beasts are still here in the academy?"

  "There are a few of them," Fire Qilin lowered his gaze, "I am almost sure that Helian Wei Wei is possessed as the crawling beasts will only approach and attack the souls that are occupying someone else's
physical bodies. The beasts will then remove the souls from the physical body and bring it underground. Someone must have brought the beasts in for her."

  Baili Jia Jue's eyes turned cold. His black and long curly hair were hanging by the side of his face, making his features exceptionally icy but beautiful and completing his ferocious appearance.

  Fire Qilin continued, "Master, why don't you be honest with Helian Wei Wei? Tell her that the true reason you locked her up with the Restrictive Iron Lock is to protect her from the search of the crawling beasts."

  Baili Jia Jue glanced at Fire Qilin nonchalantly, "That is only one of the reasons." He sneered, "Go and find those bugs for me now."

  "Yes!" Excited, Fire Qilin transformed into a mythical beast. Fierce like a tornado, it galloped in the darkness fast, to the extent that its silhouette was barely visible.

  No one knew what was happening.

  Those crawling beasts which seemed to be searching for something around the Inferior Compound paused their actions abruptly and attempted to escape.

  But Fire Qilin would never let them escape. This was the best opportunity for it to showcase its masculinity and tyranny!

  Fire Qilin shook its smooth and shiny fur and squinted both its eyes. It then braked its claws as it ran back and forth between the east and west, enjoying the game.

  This was witnessed by many tiny beasts that day.

  Their boss, Fire Qilin, fiercely chased the crawling beasts as though it was a shepherd.

  Fire Qilin even ignored those who went up to it and requested for a pat.

  But, this would not stop them from adoring their boss! All of the eyes were sparkling in admiration!

  Baili Jia Jue furrowed his brows. He could never agree with the beauty standards of these beasts...

  Noticing the adoring gazes, Fire Qilin stuck its c.h.e.s.t out and put in more effort as it chased the crawling beasts. With no exception, every one of the crawling beasts was brought before Baili Jia Jue!

  Not to mention, they were only facing a sole human now.

  Of course, the only thing on their mind was to scratch Baili Jia Jue till death with their claws!

  All the six crawling beasts with the size of the wild wolves then pounced onto Baili Jia Jue with murderous looks!

  Baili Jia Jue did not even try to defend himself. Instead, he stood in the dark gracefully. He frowned gently and his green robe levitated all of a sudden!

  The crawling beasts were then rebounded to the floor as though they had just received some sort of severe punishments. They writhed in agony, not knowing who was the man they had just upset.

  Baili Jia Jue walked forward and studied his surroundings. Followed by that, he removed his black gloves with his teeth, spat coldly, "There's one more."

  Indeed, there was another one.

  The crawling beasts were different from the other beasts.

  They lived in herds and liked to pull the human's soul underground. They would normally not show their true form, hiding in the woods during the day and only worked at night.

  When they worked, they only listened to their king's command.

  And now, the king had yet to appear.

  Baili Jia Jue squinted his eyes. Abruptly, he grabbed something beside him. A beast that was smaller than the other crawling beasts appeared.

  It was completely black except for its white and eerie eyes. The eyes were extremely evil. Common people would be frightened when they looked into this pair of eyes.

  It was the king of those crawling beasts, the top-tier magical beast.

  The king of the crawling beasts had apparently not expected any human to be able to expose it. Its heart throbbed, but it was not as terrifying as the other crawling beasts. In its eyes, its opponent was merely a human after all.

  However, it immediately regretted it.

  Standing behind the man was the ancient mythical beast which was deemed as the king of the world, the Fire Qilin!

  The king of the beasts curled up its body instinctively. It appeared to be extremely respectful and fearful. At this moment, it finally studied the man's face, "Who are you?"

  "Do you think that you are allowed to ask for my name?" Baili Jia Jue's lips were still curled up. His face was as perfect as God's. He overlooked the beast and his golden eyes squinted.

  Thud, thud, thud...

  The footsteps that followed behind it echoed across the dark, graceful and gentle but bloodthirsty at the same time.

  Knowing that it could not escape, the king beast knelt down on the floor and began to plead, "Please, let me go. I was instructed!"

  "Oh?" As though it was a hilarious joke, Baili Jia Jue said, "You want to be spared?"

  The king beast's eyes wavered, "I can reveal the mastermind behind this. I don't mean to harm anyone. It was the human who involved me in this."

  "Is that so…" Baili Jia Jue looked indifferent as he stopped in his tracks.

  The king beast nodded its head out of desperation. Yet, it unveiled its claws, "Definitely!"

  "Hah," Baili Jia Jue put on a scornful grin and grabbed its claws forcefully, "Do you think that I will believe you? A mythical beast never work for humans unless the person is your master. Moreover, the only clause in the bond made between a human and a mythical beast is to outlaw all sorts of betrayal."

  Crack!

  At this very moment, the king beast seemed to be hit by a sudden realization. As it stared at the beautiful face which was as perfect as God, its eyes flickered!

  This man…

  Is that him?

  No!

  That is impossible!

  The king beast wanted to say something. But, before it could spit a word, its neck was broken by the man.

  Its head was tilted. Before the beam of life in its eyes vanished, the eyes were full of remorse...

  Baili Jia Jue retrieved his hand. His gaze was cold as he emitted a moon-like aura around him, causing all the beasts nearby fearful to go near him.

  Fire Qilin was an exception.

  It stood behind the man, its gigantic claws sinking into the ground. It spoke in a deep voice, "Master, the king beast can speak, implying that it must have drunk the blood of its master. But, to be willing to sacrifice for a crawling beast... this person must be someone who is hard to deal with. Master, my hunch says that something unusual has arrived at the White Academy…"

  Baili Jia Jue replied nothing, but his eyes deepened like never before.

  The night wind attacked.

  Helian Wei Wei's forehead began to sweat as she held her hair ornament in her right hand, trying to aim at the lock with the sharp end of the ornament.

  All of a sudden, her eyes lit up!

  Chapter 306 - Entering The Battle Spirit Forces

  Clank.

  The iron lock fell onto the floor.

  Helian Wei Wei turned her wrist around, it was not that painful. She then took a glance at the expensive chain, it would be a waste if she just threw it away, so she decided to bring it along with her.

  The door opened suddenly.

  Shadow stunned as he saw her.

  Helian Wei Wei looked at him lazily, "He was unable to react just now, but now that he found out that Yun Biluo is back, it's impossible for him to spare some time for me. Shadow, do you want to get your hands on me or just let me go?"

  Shadow stared at Helian Wei Wei, unsure of how to answer. He blocked her way respectfully, "I'm sorry, Princess Consort. I can't let you go." He had to follow his master's order.

  Helian Wei Wei laughed coolly, "Do you think that you can stop me?"

  "Please don't give me a hard time, Princess Consort." Shadow was the kind of person who was usually quiet. On top of that, the one he was facing was Helian Wei Wei so he did not have any idea what he should do. That was not only because of being respectful to Baili Jia Jue, he also did not want to hurt this special lady.

  Helian Wei Wei's eyes flickered, "Alright, I understand. I will wait for Baili Jia Jue to come back first and discuss
this."

  "Thank you for your understanding, Princess Consort." Shadow was still alerted, watching Helian Wei Wei and waiting for her to close the door.

  Shadow was watching her from the back as if he was cautious of something. There was a movement beside him when he was going to reach out his hand and he blocked with his hand subconsciously!

  The sparks from the friction between martial practices reflected in Helian Wei Wei's eyes. She then smiled at Shadow, "You're good in this."

  Shadow kept quiet.

  "However," Helian Wei Wei paused, she then moved her fingers slightly and smoke was discharged from the other side of the umbrella.

  Shadow wanted to hold his breath but it was too late.

  His eyesight turned black and he fainted.

  Helian Wei Wei kept the umbrella while she looked at Shadow who had fainted. She smiled evilly, "Do you think that this is just an ordinary umbrella?"

  She dragged Shadow back into her room. She leaned Shadow against a wall instead of letting him sit on a chair as she considered that the Baili Jia Jue was a cleanliness freak.

  After that, she changed her clothes into Shadow's before she left the courtyard.

  Although they did not show themselves, Helian Wei Wei could feel their gazes.

  If she was not wearing Shadow's clothes, she must have been caught once she left the yard.

  None of them could see through her disguise as she was good in camouflaging.

  She left the yard and went over to Tu Sufeng's courtyard without any hesitation.

  Helian Wei Wei was not worried about whether Tu Sufeng had fallen asleep because as the dean of the White Academy, he had always stayed up late.

  Moreover, he had to take care of a child...

  As soon as Helian Wei Wei entered the brightly lit courtyard, she saw the Seventh Prince with a stack of wooden bowls on his head.

  Seventh Prince blinked and looked at her with a calm expression, "Third Aunt."

  Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows, "What are you doing?"

  "I got caught for stealing some meat to eat." Seventh Prince looked upset when he said this, his cute eyebrows even frowned together.
