The Anarchic Consort c1-1376

by Warring Young Seven

  Did they know each other before?

  Helian Wei Wei had not solved the mystery when she heard a sneer, "Trash like you has no right to be here. Quickly leave and go find someone to marry. Then, you can hand over the child you give birth to for us to raise. Only then, we can finally restore the lost dignity of the Helian family."

  The person who spoke was standing beside the young general. He was nearly two meters tall and extremely brawny with big, bulging muscles, exuding a strong sense of oppression. His rectangular face was obviously burning with anger.

  "Captain Da Xiong is right. We would rather you send us your child instead of you coming here!"

  "You only know how to rely on His Highness Murong. Do you even know how many of us have been killed? You are not someone worthy for us to sacrifice our lives for!"

  "Get out of here, you are not welcomed here! "

  An uproar of resentful insults and rejection began to rise.

  Helian Wei Wei stood up and glanced at Da Xiong standing before her, then at the other soldiers. However, she was not offended.

  She could understand how disappointed these people were. They trained so hard, only to discover their future leader was merely a fool that followed a man like his shadow.

  However... "We have to fight it out to really find out if I'm truly trash, or if I'm worthy of your lives, right?"

  Chapter 347 - The Hidden Army Recognized Its Owner

  There was not a trace of anger or discontent in her tone when Helian Wei Wei spoke. She slightly raised her chin, seemingly indolent.

  Da Xiong was so infuriated he could only let out a laugh when he heard that she wanted to have a match with him. "Since you want a match, I will punish Old General Helian's useless descendant on his behalf!"

  Helian Wei Wei was a lot more courteous compared to Da Xiong, and merely uttered, "Please do."

  As anticipated, her breezy, indifferent attitude aroused everyone's dissatisfaction, "Captain, do not go easy on her. You must give her a ruthless punishment..."

  It was too late for Old Master Hei to stop him as the crowd became enraged. He glanced at the young general standing beside him and spoke disgruntledly, "She is no longer the useless Helian Wei Wei from the past. While all of you are recovering from injuries, the Capital has undergone tremendous changes. Chi Yan, you would know clearly despite their ignorance. The martial arts in your hand was handmade by Wei Wei herself."

  "I know." Chi Yan spoke calmly, "However, that fact would not appease everyone."

  Old Master Hei burrowed his white eyebrows when he heard that.

  Meanwhile, Helian Wei Wei and Da Xiong had already reached the field.

  After they were in positions, Da Xiong pointed at the weapons rack and ordered, "Go and choose your weapons. I will go easy on you and fight barehanded."

  Helian Wei Wei was unperturbed by the gloating laughter from the surrounding crowd. She replied indifferently, "There's no need for that, I brought my own weapon. Let's begin."

  "Since you sincerely ask for punishment, I will fulfill your request!" Without further comments, Da Xiong lunged at Helian Wei Wei in the blink of an eye. Such nimble agility seemed incompatible with his burly physique. A pair of iron fists fired at her, blowing up a gust of wind...

  When Da Xiong's humongous fist closed in on Helian Wei Wei, she bent over to avoid it. Then, she followed it up by hitting Da Xiong's chin with an uppercut.

  Da Xiong was surprised that this useless descendant could escape his fist. Before he could come back to his senses, he felt a dangerous aura coming beneath his head. He swiftly moved his head aside, barely avoiding a striking punch from Helian Wei Wei.

  When Helian Wei Wei saw that the punch missed, she bent down and supported herself on the ground with one hand. Then, she launched her right foot toward Da Xiong's face.

  Before this, Da Xiong barely avoided Helian Wei Wei's fist as he was stunned. Yet, before he could regain his composure, he felt a sharp pain coming from his forehead as Helian Wei Wei gave him a sturdy kick.

  Da Xiong fumbled backward after the attack. While he was bewildered, Helian Wei Wei jumped up high and hugged Da Xiong's head, hitting him ruthlessly with an elbow strike.

  Bang!

  A once overconfident Da Xiong was pummeled to the ground by Helian Wei Wei, his ears buzzing wildly and he was knocked down for some time.

  All the soldiers were stunned as they witnessed Da Xiong lying on the ground, an incredulous expression slowly dawning on his face.

  Da Xiong shook his head twice, wanting to stand up and fight again!

  Chi Yan, who was wearing a proper military uniform, walked over with his waist-long black hair fluttering gently in the wind. His cold face was expressionless as he reached out to hold Da Xiong's hand. His tone was calm, but imposing, "You will lose if you fight again."

  "That's not necessarily true. I only used less than a fifth of my power!" Da Xiong then shouted begrudgingly, "I didn't fight her seriously as I was going easy on a woman!"

  Chi Yan glanced at Helian Wei Wei nonchalantly and uttered again, "You only know that you used less than one-fifth of your strength, but did you not realize she had wrist and ankle weights on her?"

  "Weights?" Da Xiong could not believe it. He scanned all over Helian Wei Wei and was stunned by his discovery. She really had weights on? This woman actually wore three weighted buckles while sparring with me! And... her speed was lightning fast as if she was not wearing any weights at all!

  Chi Yan's voice was cold but sounded exceptionally rich in the quiet night. "Not only that, she has not even released her martial Qi."

  Da Xiong's face completely stiffened when he heard the news.

  Helian Wei Wei did not try to conceal the martial Qi she cultivated. Her delicate lips formed into a grin as she opened her palm, the sleeves of her robe fluttered wildly. A gust of wind whirled behind her, seemingly being controlled by her. Then, huge torrents of air formed and circled around her as though she was a queen who controlled all the wind in the world. Her eyes narrowed with a stubborn sneer as her darkened face appeared surprisingly captivating.

  "This, how could this girl possess such strength!"

  Other than the surrounding soldiers, even Old Master Hei was shocked and thrilled at this sight.

  It seemed that it would not be long before they could revive the hidden army and finally reclaim the General's residence.

  After the commotion, the schoolyard fell into an unprecedented silence.

  Helian Wei Wei looked at the soldiers in front of her indifferently. "I know you are disappointed with what I did previously, but none of those was truly my intention. I was falsely incriminated, my Meridian was broken off, and my martial Qi was lost. I was naive and thought that I was being cared for, yet it was all an illusion in an attempt to murder me. I am a changed person now. I might not have the calmest temperament, but I am no longer a thoughtless fool. The only thing I want to achieve now is to reclaim everything that belonged to our Helian family, including your trust! I would not demand your unwavering loyalty like what you had for my grandfather, but I promise that even after 100 years have passed, people will still remember our unbeatable hidden army!"

  Her voice was soft, but its message rang clear and loud for everyone, and its honesty reached deep into their coursing veins.

  After listening to her explanation and witnessing her capabilities, burning aspiration surged explosively in their c.h.e.s.ts.

  Only then did they realize, they had always been waiting for the true arrival of the Helian descendants...

  Undoubtedly, this moment that they had been waiting for, had finally arrived!

  The soldiers looked up at the slender figure standing in the moonlight. She was not very tall, yet her poise gave people the courage to conquer the world.

  Da Xiong might have been the first person to provoke Helian Wei Wei, but he knelt down unhesitatingly, and declared in a ringing voice, "I, Sun Da Xiong, will follow the young master to my death!"

&nb
sp; After his speech, the soldiers burst into a rising uproar, with enthusiasm like sparks of fire. Their chanting echoed throughout the valley, "We are also willing to follow the young master to our deaths!"

  Helian Wei Wei took a deep breath as she witnessed the scene that unfolded before her. She could even taste the coolness of the air. At long last, she finally had what she needed to reclaim the General's residence!

  Chapter 348 - Wei Wei's Trump Card Battle Squad

  Chi Yan did not kneel down. Instead, he stood in front of Helian Wei Wei and silently raised the flag from the schoolyard with one hand. He was clad in a military uniform, looking sleek and impressive.

  When his eyes met with Helian Wei Wei's, they were deep as the sea and dark as the night.

  At that moment, thousands of soldiers shouted excitedly behind him.

  Helian Wei Wei realized that this man had an extraordinary influence in the hidden army.

  Later, she would hear about his background from Old Master Hei.

  Helian Wei Wei found out that he was the one who was personally invited to the palace by the Emperor. At the mere age of 17, he won against the eldest son of the mighty royal Chi Family in hunting practice.

  No wonder he had such an imposing existence.

  Helian Wei Wei smiled faintly.

  However, she discovered that Chi Yan had been staring at her with ambiguous eyes.

  Helian Wei Wei looked at him and raised her eyebrows.

  When Chi Yan passed by her, he sneered, "You don't seem to remember anything."

  Wait a minute. What should she remember?

  However, Old Master Hei did not hear anything. He patted her on the shoulder, a bright look breaking through his serious expression, "Girl, you did well!"

  "Thanks." Helian Wei Wei simply smiled. Then, she appeared to have remembered something, and inquired, "I have one more thing to discuss with you. Should we go into the tent and talk?"

  Old Master Hei nodded his head.

  Chi Yan simply glanced at Helian Wei Wei.

  They sat down inside the military tent and made some hot tea.

  Helian Wei Wei was an outspoken person who could not hide her curiosity. As she looked at Chi Yan's cold and handsome face, she thought for a moment and asked, "Master Chi, were you secretly in love with me in the past?"

  A splutter suddenly sounded!

  Old Master Hei spat out a mouthful of tea and coughed heavily.

  Chi Yan's handsome face partially darkened. "That's what you wanted to say?"

  "Of course not." Observing his expression, Helian Wei Wei added, "I just don't want any misunderstandings between us."

  The smile on Chi Yan's lips became colder. "What misunderstandings can we possibly have?"

  Helian Wei Wei bit her thin lips and laughed. "It's good if there is none."

  Chi Yan simply looked at her, but he did find her a little interesting. Then, he asked Old Master Hei, "She even lost her memory?"

  Old Master Hei knitted his eyebrows as well.

  Helian Wei Wei knew that her memory was incomplete. "I hit my head when I sank under the lake that day. I can remember some things, but I also lost a lot of my memory."

  "Really?" Chi Yan's narrow eyes darted toward her.

  Helian Wei Wei nodded. "You can tell me now. Did we have any misunderstandings before?"

  "I can't." Chi Yan's tone was indifferent, "Forget it."

  Helian Wei Wei was rendered speechless...

  Since he refused to tell her, Helian Wei Wei did not press on the issue. However, one thing was certain. This man truly could never get along with her.

  However, he was a trustworthy person that could handle important matters.

  With a grin on her face, Helian Wei Wei said, "I will have a batch of weapons sent to me a few days later. When I receive them, I want to modify them and then let the hidden army soldiers be familiar with operating these weapons as soon as possible."

  Change weapons? Old Master Hei obviously disapproved of this idea.

  Chi Yan spoke coldly, "Everyone in the Hidden Army has their own unique weapons, so new weapons are not needed."

  Helian Wei Wei merely smiled after hearing his reply.

  Old Master Hei assumed that she hated the reply, and consoled her, "Girl, you just joined the army not long ago so you're not familiar with these people. Each of them has their own personality. They would not be accustomed to it if you suddenly switched their weapons. Let's forget about it. Since your martial arts is impressive, why don't you help them strengthen their foundation in weapon fighting instead?"

  Helian Wei Wei listened quietly and smiled, "I know, but my weapon is different from the others."

  Having said that, Helian Wei Wei stood up and glanced at the bats flying past the tent.

  Bang!

  A gunshot rang through the air!

  The bat fell down from the air and landed in front of the military tent, traces of blood staining its body.

  Old Master Hei was stunned as he could not believe his eyes. How did she shoot the bat down from such a long distance, using such a tiny object, without bow or arrow?

  Chi Yan glanced at the bat lying beside the tent. The bat was completely lifeless. The weapon did possess great lethality.

  Old Master Hei looked at it curiously and asked, "Wei Wei, what kind of dark weapon is this?" Why hasn't he seen it before?

  "It's not a dark weapon, it's a pistol. However, the weapons I sent here were not only pistols." With a smirk on her face, Helian Wei Wei continued, "For example, Da Xiong specialized in fighting with heavy weapons. When the whole batch of weapons is completed, I will specially equip him with a strafe cannon. A single shot from the cannon could easily bring down half of the city wall."

  "Half of the city wall?" Old Master Hei was completely astounded when he heard the last sentence. "This little thing really has such great power?"

  Weighing the gun in her hand, Helian Wei Wei replied, "It still needs further improvement. After I have modified it, it would definitely be possible."

  She wanted more than just a hidden army.

  She wanted to select the most elite soldiers and form a trump card battle squad in the hidden army.

  This group of mercenaries must be faster than anyone and could turn defeat into victories. They would be absolutely invincible, conquering large cities as though they were as defenseless as a deserted land.

  It would be an unspeakable and impressive sight when they unleashed their long guns and cannons upon thousands of enemy soldiers.

  They could fearlessly defeat anyone with her firearms. They could even receive missions and earn some money.

  At the thought of this, the smile on Helian Wei Wei's grew.

  In ancient times, it was easy to defend the city but difficult to attack it. If they had an elite team, it would definitely reverse the situation!

  Naturally, Old Master Hei knew how powerful it was. Holding the teacup, his hands trembled at the thought of it.

  Chi Yan's angular side face tilted slightly. Then, he reached out and took the pistol Helian Wei Wei was holding in her hand. He put it near his nose tip and sniffed, frowning slightly, "This is the smell of gun powder?"

  "That's right." Helian Wei Wei's narrow eyes sparkled with moonlight and she looked very impressive, "Thus, you need to buy a lot of gun powder materials as well as heat-resistant metal. This matter requires absolute secrecy."

  Chi Yan looked at her indifferently, and asked her a vital question she would rather not answer, "How do you know how to make this kind of thing?"

  Of course, Helian Wei Wei would not confess that she traveled through time.

  They would definitely think that she was possessed by a demon and burnt her to death.

  With a serious look on her face, she said, "I didn't want to talk about it. Since you asked, then I would tell you that…"

  Chapter 349 - The Mark By His Highness

  Helian Wei Wei saw Old Master Hei looking at her earnestly, hence she continued, "I was
asleep in bed one night when I suddenly dreamed of a celestial being. The celestial being told me that I had an amazing physique and was in perfect health, thus I will definitely become someone extraordinary in the future. She shared the production process of this gun with me and made me promise to never tell anyone else. Otherwise, I will be punished by the gods!"

  After saying that, Helian Wei Wei picked up her teacup and gently sipped some tea.

  Old Master Hei then sighed, "That truly was an unusual encounter."

  "Hmm." Helian Wei Wei agreed with her usual faint smile.

  Chi Yan merely let out a cold laugh. As he leaned over to return the pistol to her, he whispered, "It has been a few years, your ability to lie has improved quite a lot."

  Helian Wei Wei looked up at the long narrow eyes staring calmly at her and uttered laughingly, "You became more handsome as well."

  Chi Yan suddenly stopped moving. His playful gaze turned dark when he saw Helian Wei Wei's slender neck.

  Helian Wei Wei had no idea what Chi Yan was thinking, and continued, "This type of pistol we currently carry can only shoot one bullet at a time. Later, I will send someone to pass you a blueprint of a gun that has a burst-fire mode. As it is much harder to design and produce that type of gun, we will need Old Master Hei's help then."

  Old Master Hei was shocked after hearing the news. The creation of a gun was already astounding enough, but she could even design one with burst-fire mode. It was simply an incredible feat!

  She used to be a descendant of the He family, which he viewed unfavorably.

  He had a feeling that, in 10 years... No! 100 years!

  Even after 100 years, it would remain fresh in everyone's memory when they mentioned the hidden army again!

  This, this, was truly unbelievable!

  Old Master Hei calmed himself, his fingers clenched around the dragon-headed walking stick. "Wei Wei, your grandfather in the afterlife would be very proud if he sees your achievement. Don't worry, when I receive the blueprint, I will make sure they put in their greatest effort!"
