The Anarchic Consort c1-1376

by Warring Young Seven

  Tu Sufeng stood by the stone wall, with another master who was still standing on his right.

  "Old Bai, do you still think that she has not joined the Battle Spirit Forces?" Tu Sufeng stroked the broken stone wall with his finger, "Not everyone can break this stone wall so easily. She carries secrets that we do not know."

  The master, with the name old Bai, did not change his expression. Instead, he chuckled, "This girl has surprised me. Nonetheless, the test has just begun. Let's observe further. What say you?"

  Tu Sufeng deepened his gaze. "You're right. The test has just begun, but we need to conduct an internal investigation within the Battle Spirit Forces."

  "Internal investigation?" Old Bai furrowed his brows. "Why?"

  Tu Sufeng retrieved his gaze. "Someone is using our first test to allow the Demon-Transforming Beast into the academy. Besides, I have just received news."

  Upon hearing the statement, Old Bai went pale, "What is the news about?"

  "Someone is hunting for the sacred beasts at a large scale." Tu Sufeng raised his head. "We must inform the Retired Emperor about this."

  Old Bai further furrowed his brows, "Don't forget that the Battle Spirit Forces must not get involved in the fight between the four influential families and the royal family. This is a rule that was set in the beginning. The longevity of the Battle Spirit Forces depends on its independence."

  "Do you remember what the Old Master said when he was alive?" Tu Sufeng threw a glimpse at him, "The Battle Spirit Forces are independent because it will never be influenced by other powers, never yield and do the unrighteous things."

  "Then, I don't understand. Why are we informing the Retired Emperor instead of the elders of the four influential families? The issue will be solved more efficiently with their help."

  Old Bai's advice was constructive.

  But, Tu Sufeng had his own concerns, "There is something that I can't reveal just yet. But, we can't form an alliance with the four influential families on this issue," he paused, "Furthermore, Helian Wei Wei is holding the Military Seal of the hidden army right now."

  "What?" This was the greatest surprise for Old Bai. All of them thought that the Military Seal of the hidden army had disappeared following the fall of the Helian Family. How did the seal end up in the hands of Helian Wei Wei?

  Tu Sufeng's eyes were gentle as he continued, "Before Old Master died, he said that we were both the Battle Spirit Forces and the hidden army. The moment the descendent who holds the Military Seal passes the test, he or she will lead the entire hidden army. After the Old Master passed on, the legacy of the Helian Family plummeted. After that, we have been presenting ourselves as the Battle Spirit Forces in public. Now that the Military Seal has resurfaced, we can finally end our days of misery..."

  Qing Zhan was standing at the front door uneasily as she looked at the sky that was slowly getting brighter. She furrowed her brows.

  She was usually a calm person with little words. If she had not encountered an issue, she would not have acted like this.

  Most importantly, the Princess Consort had been missing since last night.

  Moreover, His Highness had sent an extensive crew to carry out a search across the whole White Academy, but to no avail.

  From what the public knew about His Highness' character when the Princess Consort was found, she would face an unimaginable consequence.

  Wind whizzed past and shook the tree branches.

  The lush green bamboo forest swayed along with the wind while the sunlight scattered on the sandalwood table. The rose petals were bright red as though it was stained by fresh blood.

  Every minute and second felt extremely slow.

  The man lazily supported his body with his arm on the table while he casually toyed with the petals with his other hand. His bright-colored eyes were glowing as he grinned icily, "Has she not returned yet?"

  None of the shadow guards was audacious to speak. Only a day ago, they were greatly affected by His Majesty's immense rage, to the extent that they felt as though their organs were bruised.

  Baili Jia Jue elegantly supported his chin with his hand. While the black tassel on his sleeve concealing his disdainful grin, he scoffed, "You are telling me that you can't even find me a person? Then, what's the use of you?"

  "Your Highness!" Shadow interrupted. He was not worried about himself, but about his master's sudden eruption of ruthlessness.

  The Retired Emperor once said that His Majesty could always do according to his own will. But, he must be stopped before he went on a killing spree.

  Otherwise, the nation would be painted in blood.

  "What is it?" Baili Jia Jue spoke nonchalantly and lifted up the cup next to him, then gently shook the cup. His side profile with a fair complexion was inconceivably handsome but devilish, "Shadow, your words better lift up my moods. Otherwise, get lost!"

  He ended his sentence in a cold but menacing tone.

  Shadow knew better than anyone else about the number of shadow guards who were made redundant by his master.

  Shadow knelt down on one knee with his forehead covered in cold sweat, "From what I know about Princess Consort, she will not leave just like this before she retrieves the legacy of Helian Family. When the Princess Consort left, she appeared as if she was going to run some errands instead of leaving this place for good. If she truly has the intention to leave, she will definitely go to Second Master Hei. Yet, she hasn't been to the Fine Compound."

  Baili Jia Jue was listening and his emotion was indecipherable. He looked into the distance and replied, "You're right. She has always been planning to leave me and she's not in a hurry."

  He gently touched the red rose before him gently and his expression turned cold.

  A loud bang resonated!

  The flowers, with color as fiery as the fire, implied warmth. They were now lying quietly in the corner.

  Baili Jia Jue stood up and placed his one hand into his pocket. He looked at the red plants arrogantly.

  Something was stuck in his c.h.e.s.t.

  If she is able to run away this time, there will be a second time.

  Even if I can bring her back.

  Her heart will always belong to another man.

  Another thud resonated!

  She was merely a prey to him.

  There were many other women who were better, more beautiful and more obedient than her!

  The elegant Third Prince turned around. With his back facing Shadow, he slowly disappeared into the distance. However, no one could ignore the loneliness he carried with him.

  He removed his white robe as he walked and threw it casually on his giant bed along with the white ribbon that was tied to his hand.

  His eyes were as dark as the night sky, shimmering chillingly. At the same time, there was a hint of sorrow in his eyes that even he could not quite understand himself.

  Fire Qilin was the closest to him. It absolutely could sense the abnormality of his emotions.

  "Master, have you ever thought that maybe the woman is more than just a prey to you?"

  Baili Jia Jue's eyes were still freezing cold, "What else can she be?"

  "You have never treated a prey like this before..." Fire Qilin was playing with its beautiful fur as it ranted. For instance, it was fed with plain leaves, something that even the dogs refused to eat, for an entire month.

  Chapter 315 - Seize It

  Baili Jia Jue furrowed his brows, "I reckon that you're more long-winded as you get older."

  Fire Qilin replied in silence.

  Who am I doing this for?

  It's all because of you, I have not been in a relationship before!

  Ahh!

  Love!

  It is such a tormented little demon!

  "But you were right about something. I'm too lenient and gentle this time," Baili Jia Jue stood up from the couch as he spoke while his eyes were filled with iciness. His tall physique carried an unexplainable tenderness, but his eyes displayed complete asserti
veness. "Regardlessly, it will always be right to seize it first."

  "Noted." Fire Qilin lowered its head respectfully. The fiery red silhouette of the beast was faintly visible behind Baili Jia Jue...

  The sunlight beamed on the earth.

  In the attic of the Superior Compound, the Seventh Prince was sleeping on a wooden rope with a huge meat bun in his arms. When he was bored in his dream, he could take a few bites of it.

  Helian Wei Wei sat by the window as she stretched her body. She rested her chin on her hand as she sank in her own thoughts.

  Despite being physically exhausted, she was utterly sober. Her abdomen still hurt especially when her belly sagged every time she came out of the water.

  "Woman, you're physically weak at this moment. I suggest you stay beside the Third Prince for now. Think about it, you still have at least, erm… three more times, yeah, three more times left," Yuan Ming said with a snicker.

  Whitey transformed into a white cat as he took a lazy stroll. It said arrogantly, "What do you mean by three times?"

  The devilish grin on Yuan Ming's face grew wider, "Of course, I'm talking about Yab-Yum."

  "Yab-Yum?" Whitey was stunned before it turned to look at Helian Wei Wei with a frown.

  Helian Wei Wei waved her hand, "I'll figure out something when the time comes."

  "There are 16 days left," Yuan Ming reminded her with a grin.

  Calm and composed, Helian Wei Wei answered, "So, we need to solve all the problems within 16 days." She picked up the invitation card that Tu Sufeng sent to her via a message-bearer. It was clearly written on the card that the third examination would be held in the academy. Then, all the new students would assemble in the middle of the hall and learn to bind with their respective mythological beast.

  After that, they would need to prepare themselves for the examination that would be conducted at any time.

  No one knew what the content of the examination was about.

  Helian Wei Wei kept the invitation card and looked at the sky outside the window, "It's almost time. The students of the Superior Compound are on their way to the hall. Wake the Seventh Prince up, Whitey. We will pack and follow the others to the hall."

  "Sure," Whitey answered with a cold tone. When it walked past Helian Wei Wei, it added, "The Battle Spirit Forces will not be able to finish things up so quickly. Watch out when you're searching for the mythological beast. If anything happens, bite your finger to summon me."

  Helian Wei Wei acknowledged as she squinted. It seems like Whitey has sensed it too, that the White Academy is going to undergo changes...

  The thunder rumbled!

  And it resonated across the sky.

  A man, who was holding an umbrella, stood under the dim light as if he was waiting for someone.

  Yun Biluo, who was walking forward with the help of her maid, stopped in her tracks. She ordered the maid, "You take a stroll somewhere else."

  "Yes, Miss Yun," The maid left the scene.

  Yun Biluo walked forward. Seeing that there was no one around, she then knelt on one knee and greeted, "Young master."

  "Arise," The man turned around. The sleeves of his clothes of superior quality were slightly rolled up. His long fingers were holding the umbrella as he studied her with his gaze. "It seems like the curse is working well on you."

  Yun Biluo's body stiffened. "Yes."

  "So, are you not working earnestly on my instructions?" The man raised his head and threw a glimpse at her. On his lips, there was a devilish aura that clashed with his appearance, "Do you think that you are completely taken care of just because you have built rapport with the Murong Residence? You're too naive, Biluo."

  His eyes focused as he spoke.

  Yun Biluo writhed in agony as her sweat gradually wet her forehead, "I've never thought so. It is very difficult to deliver any news to the palace recently. The Retired Emperor is still around. That old man has always disfavored me. If he finds out that I'm still alive, he will definitely annihilate me right away."

  "Seemingly, you truly have no idea," The man glanced at her nonchalantly.

  Yun Biluo tried to subdue the pain, "What is this about?"

  "Baili Jia Jue is currently in the White Academy," The man gazed at the high-spirited crowd that was nearby.

  Yun Biluo's face was painted with shock, "He's here? Why didn't Hei Zhu tell me about that?"

  "Of course an average death knight will not find out about it," The man paused, then stared at her with a chilling gaze, "He will never be lenient to his subordinates who disobey him. If your sister doesn't return by tonight, she will most probably have to face a terrifying consequence." As he spoke, the man glanced at Yun BiLuo, "Go to him directly. You know better than me about what you should do. Every student will assemble at the hall today. Then, you will definitely spot him."

  Upon finishing his words, the man held the umbrella up. He straightened his back and stood still in a perfect posture. He put on a smile that concealed all the senses of menace and danger from before and walked into the heavy rain.

  Yun Biluo tried to suppress the overwhelming excitement and anxiety.

  Even her fingers were shivering.

  Finally, we are going to meet.

  Your Highness...

  Then, His Highness would definitely forgive her.

  Of course, it would be understandable even if His Highness refused to forgive her.

  After all, if it was not for her, the fire would never have happened.

  It was possible for him to continue to snub her because of the incident back then.

  All of these scenarios were within Yun Biluo's expectations.

  She did not mind facing any difficulties.

  But, she was terrified by His Highness at that time.

  It was as though she met the grim reaper who hailed from the underworld. He did not look like a human with the pair of beaming eyes and the blood on his face.

  Her first reaction was to flee.

  Being His Highness' follower for many years, her clothing and food were much better than the other maids.

  His Highness had never mistreated her although he was young and innocent back then.

  However, not knowing why, His Highness noticed her unfriendliness and hostility toward the other maids.

  He did not do anything to her. It was only natural for him to not punish her.

  It was well known that the Third Prince was always biased toward her.

  However, the prince forbade her from touching him.

  Consequently, Yun Biluo was immensely upset.

  It was as if she was never close to the prince even though she spent all her time with him.

  Therefore, she began to feel dissatisfied.

  Therefore, she immediately agreed when the four influential families came to her.

  She had never expected the presence of the chemical powder in the medicine. She never had the intention to ruin him. She only wanted to own him desperately…

  Chapter 316 - His Highness Met Wei Wei

  Yun Biluo contained her emotions and slowly walked toward the center of the hall.

  Students from all the four compounds, Superior Compound, Fine Compound, Good Compound, and the Inferior Compound, were assembled at the center of the hall.

  This reminded Helian Wei Wei of the Harry Potter movies that she watched during her childhood. Especially today, when they were going to bind a contract with the mythical beasts.

  All of the students were wearing a green shirt and white robe as they stood in their respective lines, dividing them according to their respective compounds.

  All the teachers stood at the front, explaining to the students about the things they had to take notes of.

  Nonetheless, these were the mythical beasts. Once they were enraged, they would be very aggressive and caused harm.

  Therefore, taming the beast was one of the most crucial and challenging parts.

  First, Helian Wei Wei brought the Little Seventh Prince to where the other
students of the Superior Compound were at.

  When Yun Biluo arrived, she quickly spotted Helian Wei Wei. With a faint grin, she walked toward Helian Wei Wei. She stared at Helian Wei Wei with her unwavering eyes and whispered in a tone which was barely audible to the both of them, "Rumor has it that His Highness is currently here at the White Academy."

  Nonchalantly, Helian Wei Wei stopped in her tracks. She slowly raised her head to look at Yun Biluo and said with an indifferent tone, "And then?"

  "That's all I want to tell you," Yun Biluo spoke with excessive politeness, coupled with a courteous smile. This was how she was wiser than Helian Jiao Er. "I am only curious about how much Miss Wei Wei know about His Highness."

  Helian Wei Wei stared at Yun Biluo as her gaze deepened.

  At that moment, Yun Biluo almost thought that her mind was exposed and that did not feel pleasant. She felt as though she was standing in front of the Retired Emperor. No matter how glamorous she looked, for the Retired Emperor, she was only a servant who would never be allowed near His Highness.

  Yun Biluo lowered her gaze and continued, "When His Highness is interested in anyone, even the slightest, he'll treat them as a prey. I reckon that Qing Zhan has already told Miss Wei Wei about His Highness and my past. I don't know if this is the right thing to say. Back then, I made a mistake and His Highness couldn't get over with it. Now, I've finally returned. I have no intention to hurt Miss Wei Wei, but His Highness will need to make his choice."

  After she finished her sentence, she made way for Helian Wei Wei.

  She appeared to be a very gentle lady, both polite and harmless.

  Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows and walked past her.

  Her abdomen was still in pain and she still had no idea about the content of the trial. Hence, she did not have the leisure for the conversation.

  Yun Biluo was right.

  Indeed, Baili Jia Jue saw her as a prey…

  "Woman, Yun Biluo is not as simple as you think." Whitey squinted its eyes. "I always think that she carries an inexplicable aura. You have to be extra alert."
