The Anarchic Consort c1-1376

by Warring Young Seven

  "You think I would want some used up stuff?" Baili Jia Jue's voice sounded icy cold.

  Helian Wei Wei was stunned. The tiara on her hands felt a million pounds heavier than before, it was so heavy that she had trouble breathing. "What do you mean by used up? Do you really believe what Xiao Kui said?"

  Baili Jia Jue stopped talking, and slowly walked right past her.

  Helian Wei Wei took a deep breath. "I do have someone I love in the human world, but that person is none other than you..."

  Chapter 596 - Pampered By His Highness, Going For The Next Fragment

  "Helian Wei Wei, is my IQ a negative value in your mind?" Baili Jia Jue glanced back at her, the taunting expression in his eyes making Helian Wei Wei's heart tighten.

  Nevertheless, she still stood up, her clear eyes looking straight at him as she declared, "I know this may sound absurd, but now you're just experiencing your past. Your current self is just your own Soul Fragment."

  "What do you mean?" There was a sense of uncertainty shown in Baili Jia Jue's eyes.

  Helian Wei Wei knew that he was finally willing to lend her an ear. Therefore, she explained clearly to him how she came here, what Fire Qilin did, and why he was sealed by the Divine Exorcism Seal, "That's why I told you to be wary of Ni Feng." A love rival must be wiped out at the very beginning.

  However, he did not show any response after listening to her.

  "You don't believe me?" Helian Wei Wei raised her left hand to make herself look more trustworthy. "I have this Red Soul Binding Rope given by Fire Qilin before I came here. It said that I will be able to return once I cut off this string. But I won't do that unless you're going back with me."

  Baili Jia Jue laughed coldly, "Helian Wei Wei, you do know a lot, but don't you know that in order to trap me with the Divine Exorcism Seal, I must be in the human world?"

  What?

  At that split second, Helian Wei Wei felt like she had plummeted into an ice hole. It was as if someone had splashed her with cold water, leaving her freezing from head to toe.

  Nobody had ever told her this. Maybe even Fire Qilin was unaware of this.

  Yet, she kept trying to persuade Baili Jia Jue to follow her back to the human world. How could he believe in her with such motives?

  "Just kill me then." Helian Wei Wei started to give up on herself.

  But then, Baili Jiajue suddenly snatched her hand over. "Did you really mean your last sentence?"

  "Which sentence?" Helian Wei Wei subconsciously asked him back.

  Baili Jia Jue looked at her with his wintry eyes, "Your man in the human world, is me."

  "Of course I meant it, we're even married. Moreover, you've promised to love only me in this life, and you will never leave or dump me." Helian Wei Wei improvised the last sentence, because she thought that he would not believe her anyway, so she would rather say anything she wanted to.

  He then spoke up slowly, "I don't think those words would be spoken by me."

  "So you do know that you're incapable of kindness in this life." Helian Wei Wei muttered under her breath.

  Baili Jia Jue's long, mesmerizing eyes squinted, "What did you say?"

  "Everything I said just now was just to annoy you." Helian Wei Wei gave in at the right timing.

  Baili Jia Jue's tone finally regained temperature, "Now this sounds like what you would say."

  "So do you believe me now?" Helian Wei Wei was kind of surprised. Judging from the current situation, even she herself would not trust what she said. Since when did His Majesty became so easy to convince?

  Baili Jia Jue suddenly emitted a low chuckle upon looking at her. He then trapped her in between him and the wall. "Because I noticed that if I still refuse to believe you, you will keep pestering me. Other than this, what other tactics do you have?"

  "I still have loads in store." Helian Wei Wei was experienced on this topic, she did not read 108 Ways to Court Your 'Wife' for nothing. "You're not believing me just because I pestered you, right? I still plan to do something else."

  Baili Jia Jue's gaze deepened. "What else do you plan to do?"

  "Kiss you." Helian Wei Wei replied with a sultry voice, half grinning. "You don't know this yet, but you did criticize my ways of wooing people before this. You said that no gift is better than giving...um..."

  Helian Wei Wei felt the familiar coolness on her lips, and her unfinished words were all buried in this kiss.

  When it ended, Baili Jia Jue gently licked between her lips with the tip of his tongue, as if he was not getting enough of that. Using his usual cold tone, he asked, "Just like this?"

  Helian Wei Wei's ears reddened. She suppressed the urge to cringe while she cleared her throat, "Why would you believe me?"

  "Because you managed to escape, but you returned, and slept here while hugging the tiara like a moron." Baili Jia Jue reached out to hug her. The empty space earlier were filled up now.

  Helian Wei Wei was speechless… Why would His Highness verbally attack her everytime he praised her?

  "Moreover, I'm the only person who knows about the Soul Fragment. I've never told anybody else about that." Baili Jia Jue c.a.r.e.s.sed the red string on her wrist. "Including this Red Soul Binding Rope, it used to be mine."

  Now Helian Wei Wei was the confused one. "How did you know about the Soul Fragment beforehand?"

  "It's not that I knew beforehand. Instead, from the moment since I fell from the sky, I've been capable of controlling my soul, constructing or disintegrating it," Baili Jia Jue explained light-heartedly. "Seems like the Divine Exorcism Seal you mentioned is quite powerful. Otherwise, there would be no need for me to disintegrate my soul."

  Helian Wei Wei finally spotted her chance. "The most important thing is that you were betrayed. The seal comes after this." At times like this, she needed to bring up the existence of the love rival!

  Baili Jia Jue definitely could decipher her mind, as his thin lips crooked up into a beautiful smile. "I'll follow you to the human world."

  "No, they're probably waiting for this moment so that they can activate the Divine Exorcism Seal. So you can't go." If it was in the past, Helian Wei Wei would be on cloud nine when she heard this, but him going to the human world right now would be to put him through all the agony he had experienced.

  Baili Jia Jue looked deeply into her eyes, tracing her cheeks with his finger, feeling the warm sensation. "How did I end up liking a stupid person like you?"

  "Am I stupid? Wait, did you say that you like me just now?" Helian Wei Wei's eyes brightened up.

  At that moment, Baili Jia Jue really thought that he had been raising a puppy, the kind that would never break.

  Never once did a soul confuse him this much, yet he could not push her away.

  This was all because he had thought that she was like the sun in the human world, who never knew what was exhaustion.

  But later, he realized that she would feel tired too, or else she would not have fallen asleep at the front door.

  Baili Jia Jue lifted her up and placed her in his Blood Coffin. The coffin was hypnotizing in a way as it was filled by his scent.

  Helian Wei Wei felt her eyelids droop. She vaguely heard his low voice saying, "The only way I can go back is to let things happen according to how they played out. Otherwise, the me that you know will not exist..."

  With that, the rays of Buddha shone into the magical realm, activating the Divine Exorcism Seal.

  In the Blood Coffin, Helian Wei Wei held onto the tiara in her hands. When she woke up, the world around her had changed…

  Chapter 597 - The Second Soul Fragment

  The weather was freezing cold, so cold that even her puffs of breath were visible. The landscape was engulfed by winter, blanketed by a vast white expanse.

  Helian Wei Wei was standing in the middle of it all, feeling slightly disoriented. Is this… the imperial palace?

  Snowflakes spiralled down gracefully around her, dancing in the north wind, alighting on the marble stairs like blo
oming dandelions. Palace maids and eunuchs could be seen walking to and fro in the palace.

  It was indeed the imperial palace.

  But the question was, why was she here?

  Did she return to her original world?

  No, that's impossible!

  According to Fire Qilin, after collecting a Soul Fragment, she would proceed to the location of the next Soul Fragment.

  Helian Wei Wei glanced down at the tiara in her hand and tightened her grip. She could still remember that person's silhouette when he last turned around.

  Let things happen according to how they went...

  She clenched her fingers, trying to suppress her emotions. When she looked back up, her gaze was crystal clear once again.

  Since this is where the second Soul Fragment is located, Baili Jia Jue should be somewhere around here, right?

  But in which part of the imperial palace can I find him?

  Also, why is it so silent?

  She had been to the Cold Palace, it was nothing like this.

  However, apart from the Cold Palace, what other palace would have so few palace maids like this one?

  Helian Wei Wei took one step forward, and pushed open a random door. A blinding beam of light shone onto her face right away.

  Subconsciously, Helian Wei Wei raised her hand to shield her eyes.

  She looked toward her left, which was the direction of the light source.

  However, all she could see was a silhouette standing amidst the shower of golden light.

  The silhouette was petite.

  Therefore, Helian Wei Wei initially thought that it was Little Seven.

  Unexpectedly, when the silhouette came closer, she realized that it was not Little Seven.

  That person was dressed in black robes, in addition to a heavy-looking cloak which was wrapped around his shoulders.

  If this type of cloak was to be worn by other kids, it would only look out of place, but it looked oddly befitting on this boy.

  His striking brows and eyes looked like they could slash through the night. His eyes were neither cold nor disdainful, just emotionless.

  He seemed detached, yet giving off the undeniable vibe of a commander.

  Blood seeped out in between the boy's fingers. However, it seemed like he was not aware of it, as he walked forward stiffly until he noticed Helian Wei Wei. His calm eyes suddenly turned freezing cold.

  Helian Wei Wei stood rooted to the ground. The sight before her gave her a feeling of deja vu.

  When she was trapped in the formation, Ni Feng had tried every single way she could to make her understand the Baili Jia Jue in the past.

  Now, it seemed like not only on his hand, but maybe even his back was also peppered with needle pinpricks that were pierced by his cruel mother.

  The only thing that was different from what Helian Wei Wei saw in her dreams was that the boy in front of her felt real. He felt real in a way that she could even feel the coldness in his eyes, when she was nowhere near him!

  So does this mean that the Soul Fragment is His Highness when he was a child?

  Helian Wei Wei was slightly dumbfounded.

  The boy did not look at her again after the first glance. He then stepped into another palace door while pressing down his right arm with his left hand.

  Helian Wei Wei followed him in without thinking twice. It was indeed quieter here than in the other palaces. This was probably the palace that he stayed in before the fire occurred. No wonder she found it completely foreign and unfamiliar…

  Splash!

  Nonetheless, the excruciating pain from his left hand was affecting his movements.

  He was tempted to just give up.

  At that moment, a pair of fair, slender hands appeared before him unexpectedly, and pulled up the wooden bucket in just one tug.

  When Baili Jia Jue turned around, he saw a soft smile on the woman's face.

  He had seen this face earlier, it belonged to a lady who had appeared out of nowhere.

  "I'm not planning to tattle on you, so there's no need to be nice to me." Baili Jia Jue pushed her away with a monotonous voice.

  Helian Wei Wei thought that the young prince would be less tough to deal with, but it seemed like this stubborn and complicated version in front of her was the hardest to deal with.

  The way he drank water was too excessively noble-like.

  The way he behaved was so posh, yet he was still so young! It seemed like he was just about the age of seven or eight.

  Why does he act like he's shooting a billion dollar movie?

  Furthermore, his eyelashes were so long and curly, they were as dark as ink.

  Helian Wei Wei reached out to touch him. As she was attracted to aesthetically pleasing appearances, she could not resist this temptation...

  The boy was stunned, as he did not expect Helian Wei Wei would do so. His eyes then squinted dangerously like a cat as he asked, "Any plans to lose your hand?"

  "Why are you so mean, even at this age?" Helian Wei Wei decided to educate her husband properly while he was young, so that things would be easier when she wooed him afterward. "You won't have friends if you're this mean."

  "Hmm, is that so…" An arrogant, devilish expression formed on his face, while his eyes radiated iciness.

  Helian Wei Wei was spooked by his expression. She touched his slightly chubby little hand as she asked, "What are you thinking? Your smile is kind of creepy."

  "I was thinking about ways to kill you," the boy answered expressionlessly.

  Helian Wei Wei stiffened. She then tugged him over with one hand, embraced him tightly, and nuzzled him all over. "Don't be so harsh toward ladies, be more gentlemanly instead. But uh, you shouldn't be a gentleman to every lady too, just remember my face and be a gentleman to me while leaving out the others. You must remember this face of mine, because in the future you will love me till death, get it?"

  The boy seemed to be enraged by her, as his facial expression darkened. Is this woman not afraid of death? Such a chatterbox, I don't think there's anyone who can ever be more talkative than her.

  Since her hug is quite warm, therefore I won't throw her over the wall for now... He plotted evilly in his mind, but upon hearing her last sentence, he could not help but jeer, "Me? Love you till death? Woman, are you still dreaming? Daydreaming is alright, but please remember your age, I don't fancy old women like you."

  Helian Wei Wei was speechless. He's not adorable at all! Was he born with such a sharp tongue? Will he die if he indulge me for once? I'm only 17! I'm still young!!!

  Chapter 598 - Lock Her Up

  Alright, the age gap between them right now is indeed fairly considerable.

  However...

  "Don't you think elder sisters are more attractive?" Helian Wei Wei asked tentatively.

  The boy laughed coldly. He looked at Helian Wei Wei as if he were looking at someone else's maid, while he spoke composedly, "Elder sister? You? You look more like an aunt."

  "I must educate you properly today!" Helian Wei Wei was really annoyed by this miniature version of His Highness. She was so tempted to give the boy a stern scolding because of his sh*tty attitude!

  The boy hugged his arms and leaned against the door frame as he said elegantly, "Typical rage which stems from embarrassment."

  Helian Wei Wei drew in a deep breath. She told herself not to take him too seriously because he was small, he was still young!

  "Furthermore, your b.r.e.a.s.ts are not attractive at all," the boy pouted, using an apathetic voice as if he was stating a fact. "Will any men like women like you?"

  The tiny bit of rationality left within Helian Wei Wei fizzled right out.

  Ha ha ha. He's still young? Bullsh*t!

  He even judges people's b.r.e.a.s.ts!

  "Come here," Helian Wei Wei beckoned as she narrowed her eyes dangerously.

  The boy did not move an inch. Instead, he stood right where he was and glanced at her coldly.

  Helian Wei Wei did not say
anything more. Her joking around was just to lower his defenses, which must be quite low by now. So, if she took any action now, she would not get killed immediately.

  "Woman, what are you doing?" This was the first time that a woman had dared to lift his robe up in public!

  The boy had a deep voice, so deep that one could not perceive his emotions from it, but it could still cause goosebumps to erupt all over one's arms.

  At that split second, Helian Wei Wei had the illusion that she was dealing with the grown-up Baili Jia Jue.

  However, seeing that young face in front of her, Helian Wei Wei became bolder. With ointment spread over her fingers, she slid her hand over the injuries on his back.

  The boy froze. He turned back and stared at her as his eyes gradually narrowed.

  Crackle...

  Helian Wei Wei threw some other flammables into the fireplace, endeavouring to brighten the flame. She then turned to the boy. "Do you feel warmer now?"

  The boy remained silent. His freezing gaze seemed to insinuate that she owed him a huge amount of money.

  Helian Wei Wei felt like she needed to explain. "From my observation just now, there are only the two of us in this entire place. So don't worry, what you fear will never happen. I'm the only one who will see your b.a.r.e back."

  The boy was still quiet, but he kept on staring at her coldly.

  Helian Wei Wei could not bear with this overwhelming stare anymore. "I just want to apply the ointment for you quickly."

  The boy curled his lower lip and spoke very coldly, "So you lifted up my robe just to apply the ointment?"

  "If I don't do so, how can I apply the ointment?" Helian Wei Wei raised an eyebrow.

  "Don't you know that you can give me the ointment and let me apply it on my own?" The boy righted his robes and sat back onto his personal wooden throne. He crossed one of his legs on top of the other and propped an elbow on the armrest, with his index finger supporting his chin. Then, he looked down at her elegantly and lazily.

  Helian Wei Wei was speechless...
