The Anarchic Consort c1-1376

by Warring Young Seven

  The imperial guards stumbled and clambered frantically until they got to a distance that was at least ten feet away from the Emperor!

  The Emperor fell on his bottom and shrieked, "Stay away from me, stay away from me!"

  "You want it to stay away from you?" Baili Jia Jue started laughing mercilessly, "How dumb are you actually? You've s.u.c.k.e.d the blood essence of so many young ladies, of course the aura of resentment will acc.u.mulate in your body. The resentment gives rise to evil and the evil comes from your heart. It will eventually replace you by occupying your mortal shell. What makes you think that it will let go of such an excellent fertilizer?"

  Upon hearing Baili Jia Jue's words, a thought struck the Emperor suddenly. He raised his face and looked at Baili Jia Jue with imploring eyes, "Third Prince, you must have a solution, don't you? Hurry up and save me right now!"

  Baili Jia Jue remained motionless. In fact, he stood there and gave the Emperor a condescending glance with obvious indifference in it.

  This was the scene that Helian Wei Wei saw as she woke up.

  That familiar silhouette was standing amidst the raging flames of war. Green Dragon was hovering in the sky while another mythical beast was submitting itself at his feet.

  However, nothing could resist the mesmerizing waves in his eyes.

  His eyes were deep and mysterious, faint golden trails swirled in them. When contrasted against the side of his fair face, he appeared to have an alluring charm which felt like an incredible force. It was a breathtaking miracle.

  At that moment, Helian Wei Wei thought she merely saw an illusion. She stretched her hand out to massage her aching temple. By the time she refocused her gaze, that person was still there.

  Her immediate reflex was to use her consciousness stream to communicate with Yuan Ming. Even her usual sluggish voice had turned energetic, "Yuan Xiaoming, did you see that? He's back, he's really back!"

  Yuan Ming did not give her any reply.

  Whereas Baili Jia Jue who stood not far away jerked a finger under his black glove. He looked down at the kneeling Emperor and intended to leave.

  The Emperor yelled desperately, "I am your father, are you going to do nothing but watch your father turn into a monster that is neither human nor ghost?"

  His words triggered a smile across Baili Jia Jue's face. His thin lips were tinged with malevolence which was rather unsettling, "Don't worry. You wouldn't have the chance to turn into a monster because it's awake, and probably very hungry right now."

  "What, what do you mean?" The Emperor was not that dumb. A possibility soon came across his mind and he quickly looked to his left.

  The baby was awake as expected and was staring at the Emperor through hollow eyes. Its voice was cold and eerie, "Blood, I want blood."

  Before the Emperor could react, his neck was bitten by the baby!

  The slurping sound of blood being s.u.c.k.e.d was loud and clear. It made everyone who heard it had their hair stood on end.

  The faces of the ministers from the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs turned pale. They watched helplessly as the Emperor reached out his hands in a desperate attempt to throw off the baby on his shoulder. Despite that, his efforts were in vain because they were of the same body.

  He knew it from the beginning that this child was a sinister child who showed no respect for his own father at all.

  Sure enough, as Baili Jia Jue grew up day by day, he began to lose control of this child of his.

  And now he even refused to save him!

  People like this should go to hell!

  Why should I be the one to die!

  God had once told me that I would become immortal as long as I did what I have to!

  Could it be that God had lied to me?

  Crack!

  The baby opened its mouth and snapped the Emperor's spine into two.

  The ministers sighed quietly upon witnessing this scene but at the same time, fear had gripped their hearts.

  They did not expect the Emperor to end up like this. Nor did they ever thought that he would be the murderer who killed the palace maids.

  They knew that the Emperor was longing for immortality.

  But they never imagined that the Emperor's obsession was so extensive.

  Karma truly existed in this world.

  What comes around goes around. No one can escape their fate!

  So the Emperor died from having his blood s.u.c.k.e.d dry by the baby who grew from his body. It only took several seconds with the baby crouched over the Emperor's neck. The baby's eyes were now a creepy green hue.

  But of course Baili Jia Jue would not allow it to feed to its heart's content. He threw a look at Green Dragon and said faintly, "It's all yours now."

  "Yes, Master." Green Dragon was delighted that it was finally its turn. It rolled over and swallowed the baby into its stomach without leaving a trace.

  Baili Jia Jue started walking again. His perfect long legs and waistline invoked abstinence while maintained his usual look of elegance and indifference. The only difference was his hair that was now an evil shade of silvery white. That was the unique characteristic of devils.

  Helian Wei Wei was unsure whether if he saw her. It seemed like he did... but he refused to acknowledge her?

  Chapter 643 - His Highness’s Thoughts And Wei Wei

  All of a sudden, Helian Wei Wei recalled what he once told her when she left. "I might hate you after I follow you back. Would you still want to make me go back with you?"

  How can she forget that this man always kept his words!

  Just like what's happening right now, he didn't even bother to spare her a glance.

  Her bent fingers were turning cold. Helian Wei Wei moved her legs and tried to get up, only to find that she was exhausted of energy. She could barely stand and that made her grumbled through her consciousness stream, "Yuan Xiaoming, don't you think that His Highness is so damn petty? Not only does he tend to hold grudges, comforting him is like having a devil's own job. Tell me, what else could I do other than to come back? And now he's ignoring me and he really means it. Capitalists are indeed inhumane."

  Helian Wei Wei had initially wanted to vent her grievance together with Yuan Ming.

  However, for reasons unknown, Yuan Ming was still not responding to her.

  That's weird.

  Yuan Ming used to dislike His Highness and found him rather annoying.

  On the contrary, it was Baili Jia Jue who halted. He directed his lofty gaze passed Green Dragon and onto Helian Wei Wei.

  Helian Wei Wei did not understand what he meant. His expression was aloof, as if he was telling her to just wait and see.

  It can't be that he knows I'm talking bad about him, right?

  Nah it can't be. It was not possible for him to receive my consciousness stream since he was not Yuan Ming.

  He must have hated me so much and was now thinking of ways to torture her.

  "Inhumane," Helian Wei Wei added, even her clenched fist was raised. Her eyes flared with anger, but at the same time there was also a tint of unspeakable misery.

  Her c.h.e.s.t felt tight, which was a rather unpleasant feeling.

  This was when the people from the Holy Worship Temple arrived. Nangong Lie had brought in an army to subdue the imperial guards whom the Emperor had arranged to surround the entire Palace of Heavenly Purity. An odd expression flashed across his face when he saw Helian Wei Wei, which was obviously different from the past. Certainly it was not going to be the same since his memory had been refreshed.

  However, it was not hard for Nangong Lie to accept new things since he was a worshipper who basically knew everything. Regarding the case where someone returned to the past and altered their memory, it did not actually bother him much.

  The part that felt thorny to Nangong Lie was Baili Jia Jue's thoughts about Helian Wei Wei.

  Back then when this woman left, Ah Jue was full of rage as if he had lost hope for everything. When he was executing a kill, his g
aze was extremely distant, as though those who died in front of him were none of his business at all.

  He confined himself to the palace and shut down all connection to the outside world. He refused to contact anybody and had turn everything down, including the invitation card from that person in the Helian family.

  Ever since that day, there was no one by Ah Jue's side anymore. Nangong Lie could clearly feel the hatred emitting from him. It was chilly like a cut diamond, perfect yet hurtful.

  Nangong Lie felt obliged to speak for Helian Wei Wei as her former ally. With that in mind, he sidestepped to block Baili Jia Jue's path, "Ah Jue, are you really setting yourself against Boss Wei? Frankly speaking, I don't think she did anything wrong." Although up to now, he was still puzzled by Helian Wei Wei's decision to return to the past and disappear without a trace. But according to her style of doing things, she must be doing it for the greater good.

  Ignoring him completely, Baili Jia Jue strode past and spat the words at him without turning his head back, "Shut up."

  As he finished, he made his way toward Helian Wei Wei. There he was, walking past the crowd like a natural illuminator that drew everyone's attention.

  He had not changed a bit. His beautiful and profound eyes outlined his charming gorgeousness, while a faint smile lingered at the corner of his lips. But the way he looked at Helian Wei Wei was so cold that she could even feel it piercing her bones.

  So, has he made up his mind to ignore me and treat me like a stranger now?

  Helian Wei Wei's fingers brushed across the black feathers on the ground. As she lifted her head again, she caught sight of a pair of slender and straight legs.

  Baili Jia Jue bent slightly so that his sight was now level with hers. His expression was nothing but icy. With the strength that seemed possible to lock everything he saw, he clamped his hand around her leg as she was trying to get up.

  Meanwhile, Nangong Lie flinched as he watched nervously. Was Ah Jue trying to teach her a lesson right here?

  Helian Wei Wei furrowed her eyebrows and met his eyes.

  Baili Jia Jue's long and slender fingers were holding Helian Wei Wei's ankle. The familiar smile that set her heart racing was on his lips, but his cold glare made Helian Wei Wei wanted to escape.

  This was when Baili Jia Jue whispered into her ears. His voice was deep and appealing, "Inhumane? So damn petty? Tend to hold grudges, comforting him is like having a devil's own job? Hmm?"

  Helian Wei Wei's eyes were wide open as she heard these adjectives. He knew what was on my mind? No way!

  "Yuan Xiaoming, he..." Helian Wei Wei was still trying to use her consciousness stream.

  Baili Jia Jie pinched her chin directly, his cold breath was against her lips, "Stop calling. Can't you see the connection between you and me?"

  "Connection?" Helian Wei Wei lowered her gaze and found a new patterned marking on both of their wrists. That was the symbol of an eternal contract and it would be formed once the owner sold his or her soul to the devil.

  Secondly, it was to make it easier for the devil to control the owner. As long as the symbol remained intact, the devil would be able to find the owner regardless of where the owner went. And it could seize and devour the owner's soul whenever it wished to do so.

  However, why would this symbol appear on Baili Jia Jue's hand? Yuan Ming was the one whom she had made the contract with. Could it be…

  Confused, a sudden thought crossed her mind, "You and Yuan Ming? Both of you?"

  There was hardly any warmth in Baili Jia Jue's voice as he spoke slowly, "Yuan Ming was one of my soul fragments as well. During the time when Divine Exorcism Seal descended on earth and I was reborn as a human, the demonic remains had turned into Yuan Ming. He lost all his previous memories and magic after being sealed in the ancient book. An eternal contract shall only be made with the primordial spirit of a devil, and I am the primordial spirit of Yuan Ming."

  Helian Wei Wei was speechless. So does this mean that the summoning spell I chanted just now had actually summoned the primordial spirit? The primordial spirit would definitely merge with its soul fragment and become her new contracted devil. Which is to say, the recipient of all my previous ranting was His Highness?

  Chapter 644 - Keep You From Leaving Even If You Wanted To

  Helian Wei Wei thought about what she said and just could not wait to bury herself in a hole!

  "Have you figured out how to face me?" Baili Jia Jue put an arm past her ear and pressed against the black feathers behind her, bringing them infinitely closer to each other. His breath hit her lips with every single word he spoke and Helian Wei Wei could clearly catch a whiff of his addictive scent. Even the angle of his jawline was extremely s.e.xy.

  How could I figure anything out? I just feel like kissing him!

  Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows and gave him a wicked smile, "Why don't you let me kiss you before we continue talking?"

  Narrowing his stone-cold eyes, Baili Jia Jue forced her closer to him. He pressed his fingers against her thin lips and rubbed them back and forth in a rough manner, "Do you think I will be fooled again this time?"

  "Since you're back, can't you just pretend that nothing has happened?" Helian Wei Wei was smiling, but her heart was sinking.

  Baili Jia Jue laughed, his tone was cold as he spoke, "Pretend nothing has happened? Do you think it's possible?"

  "Why not?" Helian Wei Wei supported herself with her fingers.

  Baili Jia Jue looked at her with a plain expression, "Not for me."

  She wanted to drag Baili Jia Jue aside and ask what he wanted her to do.

  "Do you really have to segregate yourself that well? Be it a Soul Fragment or your primordial spirit, to me, they are still you. Do you even understand?!"

  Helian Wei Wei was never a person who lost her temper easily because she would just stay away from those she disliked. As for those that she liked, she would protect them with all her heart and soul.

  This was the first time she spoke with all her might.

  "I bet you understand since you're so smart. You're just taking advantage of my love for you and that's why you are being so arrogant!" Helian Wei Wei yanked his collar and growled, "If you're angry, just tie me up if you can. What's with the cold shoulder?!"

  There was buzzing in Helian Wei Wei's head after she finished roaring. She seemed to have calm down as she took a deep breath, her voice was light, "It's up to you. Anyway, you're back now and if you want to hate me, go ahead. You can stop talking to me altogether, but just don't mess with me right now. I'm tired." She was truly drained from constantly having her nerves on edge lately. Her mind was as taut as the strings of a drawn bow. At the end of the day, she just could not deal with it anymore. Pushing him away, she rose to her feet and started to leave.

  Before she could even raise her leg, someone grabbed her wrist forcefully from behind. Her back was pressed hard into his c.h.e.s.t as a familiar tone laced with mockery resonated beside her ears, "Why didn't I notice before that you enjoy being tied up?"

  "Let go." Helian Wei Wei tried to keep her breathing even.

  Baili Jia Jue sneered into her ear, "Let go? We have signed an eternal contract and from now on, you truly belong to only me. Every bit of you is mine. What makes you think that you can still leave as you please?"

  This fellow just can't stop bullying me!

  Helian Wei Wei was so annoyed that she wanted to bite him, and she did. She grabbed his hand and opened her mouth.

  The bite did not come through in the end.

  To leave a mark on such a beautiful hand was a sin indeed.

  It was rare for her to think about beauty and ugliness during moments like this. Helian Wei Wei's eyes dimmed. Putting love into the perspective of a game, the winner would be the one who put in more sincerity.

  There was no right or wrong. What mattered most was not whose sense of guilt was deeper. Rather, it was about who had a deeper love and who cared more.

  Now it was her who cared t
oo much about him.

  Was this considered revenge?

  She remembered the last time when he threw his pride away and begged her to stay.

  Now that revenge was knocking on her door, she was speaking out of sheer stubbornness as she never knew that it would hurt so bad being a loser.

  "15 minutes." Baili Jia Jue's voice suddenly rang again. This time he let go of her wrist and simply embraced her waist gently. He placed his thin lips against her left ear.

  Helian Wei Wei did not understand. 15 minutes? Was he telling her how much longer till she would meet her end?

  "I just gave you the cold shoulder for 15 minutes and you already can't stand it." Baili Jia Jue's voice was hoarse, "Have you ever calculated how long it would take for me to recover when you finally appear and then leave?"

  Helian Wei Wei's mind went blank. The nobel little boy emerged in her mind, an aloof child who seldom talked nor became close with anyone. All he ever did was to wait for her return obediently. Her eyes reddened instantly at the thought of this.

  Baili Jia Jue turned Helian Wei Wei around and touched between her eyebrows with his slender fingers. He then lifted her loose hair and kissed her forehead, her eyes, and her nose. Finally, he took her into his arms and wrapped her in his fur cloak, his nose against hers.

  In that moment, Baili Jia Jue was very gentle, like exquisite wine flowing under the night sky. It was incomparably smooth with a mellow sweetness which could only be described as sensational. This man could give you the world's most enviable love as long as he wished to do so.

  He whispered to her, "After you left, I thought of breaking all your limbs if I were to see you again. So that you will stay with me forever."

  Listening to his words, Helian Wei Wei started to feel pain in her hands.

  "But by the time I saw you, I could only think about how badly I wanted you. I wanted to make love to you until your legs go weak and cry for mercy. To keep you from leaving me even if you wanted to." As he spoke, his thin lips landed on hers and he took a bite at it. It was not painful, but rather tingled.
