The Anarchic Consort c1-1376

by Warring Young Seven

  "Princess Consort, you're very beautiful," the little palace maid said this with utmost sincerity, as she stared at Helian Wei Wei's breathtaking reflection in the mirror. She was surprised by her fair, soft, and fragrant skin. Apart from her looks, she had a laidback air about her that none could imitate. When the Princess Consort turned to look at them she had that mischievous smile, as usual. As she raised her phoenix eyes, the onlookers' heart began to race.

  The little palace maid had no idea that Helian Wei Wei used to dress up boyishly in modern times, like a true mercenary tycoon and her flirting skills when courting the girls were simply next-level.

  Otherwise...

  She could not have gotten His Highness for herself.

  All of this was possible as she had intensively studied the "Wife Courting Tips".

  "I'm hungry." After teasing the little palace maids for a while, Helian Wei Wei began whining again. With her chin resting on the dressing table and one hand on her stomach, she looked pitiful but cool, saying, "I want pork trotters, the kind that has been stewed..."

  The little palace maid still had to draw another Helian Wei Wei's eyebrows. When she looked at her, she was reminded of her coy elder sister. She turned to Qing Zhan beside her and laughingly said, "Sister Qing Zhan, look at the Princess Consort…"

  A gust of bitingly cold wind brushed against her ear when she spoke.

  It's Master!

  "Your Highness!" The palace maids hastily kneeled to the ground.

  Without looking at them, Baili Jia Jue squeezed Helian Wei Wei's chin and teased, "Are you baring your claws again?"

  "No." Helian Wei Wei pushed him aside as she yawned, trying to stall for time, "I'm hungry."

  Baili Jia Jue laughed as he took a fur coat from the palace maids. Then, he wrapped her in it and carried her up, saying, "Half an hour ago, you ate a plate of steamed fish by yourself. That was enough to feed three people."

  "But now, I'm hungry again," Helian Wei Wei said earnestly, trying to wriggle her face out of the cover of the fur coat.

  However, Baili Jia Jue pushed her back into it.

  Helian Wei Wei was not pleased and asked, "What are you doing?"

  "Your face is too ugly, some touching up is needed." Baili Jia Jue said this with a straight face. Then, he took out some powdered black pearls and placed some powder onto her face. Only then, he felt satisfied and let her down.

  Looking at herself in the copper mirror, Helian Wei Wei's blackened face appeared, "Are you sure your sense of beauty isn't the problem here?" The hour-long work of the little palace maids was thus destroyed by a certain royal.

  "Come here." Baili Jia Jue was standing behind her with a smirk on his face, while toying with his black jade ring.

  Unexpectedly, he smiled faintly and lowered his head. Then, he rolled up her falling sleeves to reveal an intricate circle of fox fur, complementing the fairness of her skin which glowed like jade.

  When Baili Jia Jue had bent downwards, everyone around held their breath.

  They had served many people, including those vivacious consorts and even the most powerful person in the harem, Queen Murong.

  However, none of them was treasured by him as much as her.

  AFter all, the Third Prince had always been different from the other princes.

  Ignoring the orders from the Emperor, he always made decisions based on his feelings. It seemed that he was quite rash, even though he was the world's most distinguished man.

  Like the clouds in the sky, he emanated a sophisticated aura from his entire body. Even the most beautiful people would be smitten by him.

  They initially believed that he would never succ.u.mb to anyone.

  However, now...

  His Highness seemed so shockingly gentle now.

  Helian Wei Wei was also stunned, staring helplessly as he rolled up her sleeves, one after the other. From her angle, his smile was unspeakably soft. His lips were dull in color and seemed irresistibly captivating under the sunlight.

  Without hesitating, Helian Wei Wei leaned over to steal a kiss, then quickly stood still as though nothing happened like a cunning fox.

  When Baili Jia Jue raised his head and saw this, he tapped her forehead with his bent finger. Then, as he tightened the sash around her waist, he leaned toward her ear with a smirk and muttered, "Do you want it already?"

  Helian Wei Wei kept silent...

  "After dinner has ended, I'll satisfy you." Then, Baili Jia Jue stood up and left with the people who were waiting outside. His upright and long silhouette exuded the commanding aura of an Emperor.

  Helian Wei Wei did not even have the chance to retort. What does he mean by saying I want it already! All I did was kiss him once! He was reading too much into that one kiss! Monster!

  However, it was quite a prize to sleep with such a handsome man.

  Helian Wei Wei cheered up again when she thought of it from that perspective. However, her stomach still felt empty. While rubbing her stomach, she strode towards the wooden window and placed her fingers on her thin lips to whistle. Instantly, her mercenary appeared kneeling on the ground like a show, saying, "Eldest Young Lady."

  "How's the investigation?" Helian Wei Wei asked with a smile, looking much more threatening now than in front of Baili Jia Jue.

  The mercenary thought to himself. The Eldest Young Lady probably exhausted all her positive feelings on the Third Prince, so her malicious thoughts are all on the others now. Then, he reported, "Apart from the Xuanyuan Kingdom, the people from Huangzi Nation and Yuanzong Nation are also on their way."

  "What are they planning to do? Unite the three countries?" Helian Wei Wei laughed.

  The mercenary knew that his Eldest Young Lady was extremely clever and nodded, saying, "Huangzi Nation and Yuanzong Nation are not very strong. However, they still publicly challenged us, it's quite incomprehensible."

  "What's there to feel incomprehensible about. It's obvious that the Xuanyuan Kingdom has given them some benefits." Helian Wei Wei yawned as her smile suddenly grew colder, adding, "No one wakes early if there is no profit from it. They think that since the Emperor has just passed, the War Dragon Empire would fall into chaos. Thus, they want to make use of this opportunity to reap some benefits. That's why they band together and come to the Capital."

  The mercenary felt anxious when he heard this, explaining, "Then, we are in trouble. They have formed an alliance with the excuse of being worried that the Capital's Divine Exorcism Seal has been tampered with. They want to send their people here to stand guard."

  "Huh, they wish." Helian Wei Wei scoffed, "The Third Prince will never agree."

  The mercenary murmured in agreement, "It's because the Third Prince will not agree. That's why the Xuanyuan Kingdom decided to ally with the other two nations. No one knows what they're plotting to do."

  "For every problem, there is a solution. Who cares what they want to do." Helian Wei Wei rubbed her neck repeatedly with one hand and uttered menacingly, "Since they have come to the War Dragon Empire, we need to teach them a lesson. Otherwise, it would tarnish my image as a mercenary tycoon."

  The mercenary remained silent...

  Eldest Young Lady, we really aren't short of money, is there a need to behave like this?

  "Oh, that's right. Forget about the thing that I asked you to do before." Helian Wei Wei seemed to have remembered something, so she turned her head around and instructed, "The Third Prince doesn't like to accompany others, no matter how much they'll pay. Ah, I can't force him either."

  The mercenary kept mum, again...

  I would never dare to even think about this!

  To ask the Third Prince to accompany other people, only the Eldest Young Lady would dare to think about it!

  Chapter 653 - The Visitors (Humiliation: Part 1)

  "Since the deal has fallen through, then we'll make Xuanyuan Princess give up forever." Helian Wei Wei casually looked at her own wr
ists, as she flashed a bloodthirsty smile and ordered, "Go and tell her who Baili Jia Jue belongs to."

  "Understood." The mercenary quietly said as he looked up to the sky. You wanted to do so from the very beginning, right? That nonsense about charging a fee is just a facade. It's simply because you don't want anyone else coveting the Third Prince.

  Helian Wei Wei acknowledged this fact. After mulling it over, she believed that the Soul Fragments that she painstakingly recovered by traveling through time should be all hers. Others can peek or admire him, but openly challenging her like this was absurd. Did they think I'm an easy target?

  The mercenary was still there. When he witnessed the vicious iciness in her eyes, he wondered what spectacle would happen at tonight's banquet. Thus, he asked, "Should we ask the generals to gather here?"

  "No need, it's only called an instant kill if it's done by one person. I can't show my strength with a group of people." Helian Wei Wei brushed off the suggestion.

  The corners of his mouth twitched as the mercenary thought to himself. You used to say that you prefer to have more people on your side than the enemy as it would be easier to bully them? Now, look who's acting all chivalrous.

  "Blackie, don't tell people that your Boss never taught you this." Helian Wei Wei smiled at him and continued, "When you are chasing people, the most important thing is to seem cool. All of you people would just steal the limelight from me. Then, Baili Jia Jue will never know how cool I am."

  The mercenary was speechless...

  Do you think the Third Prince is blind?

  Also, I'm not called Blackie! Stop giving me random nicknames!

  "Since you have time to teach your subordinates useless things, why don't you be more obedient at night?" The subject of their conversations happened to walk in. Then, Baili Jia Jue grabbed Helian Wei Wei's collar and he pulled her away from the window. His magnetic voice was somewhat displeased as he muttered, "It's snowing outside, aren't you cold?"

  Helian Wei Wei touched her face but it felt fine and not too cold. Then, she said, "How can you look down on my methods of winning someone over. They are godly, alright?"

  The man was evidently unbothered as he held her hands and pulled them into the folds of his inner clothes.

  Helian Wei Wei shrieked, "It's still daytime and you want to play dirty."

  "If you continue to act up, I will throw you out." Baili Jia Jue's voice was very monotonous, it was obvious this was not an empty threat.

  When she noticed his icy stare, Helian Wei Wei stopped struggling and allowed her hands to be placed on his c.h.e.s.t. As time passed, the palm of her hands became warmer, and her heart warmed as well.

  The palace servants waiting outside witnessed the entire exchange. With their heads lowered, all of them were moved and jealous at the same time.

  However, His Highness cared for the Princess Consort like she was a child and was overly controlling. Nobody knew if this was good or bad...

  As Baili Jia Jue lazily looked at Helian Wei Wei, his long narrow eyes seemed threatening as he warned her, "If I catch you standing by the window without a coat again, I'll shatter these claws of yours."

  "Fine. I was just discussing something with Blackie." Helian Wei Wei explained herself as she pulled her hands back, saying, "Don't let them freeze you, don't we have hand-warmers?"

  Hearing this, Qing Zhan immediately placed a stove beside the duo.

  But Baili Jia Jue did not reach for it. Instead, he continued to hold Helian Wei Wei's wrists against his c.h.e.s.t, letting them go after he had warmed them up. Then, he ordered the people outside, "Let's go to the banquet."

  "Understood." Their reply was resounding and echoed as one.

  Plop...

  The snow acc.u.mulated on the trees fell down and hit the golden tiled roof.

  The palace was decorated with precious ornaments, the marble sparkling as it caught the rays of light, giving the place an air of mysterious solemnity.

  Compared to the previous Emperor who spent his years consuming elixirs, he emanated the aura of a true king: sophisticated, cruel, unfeeling, and even an evil charm.

  Even while wearing a long fur coat, one could still see this sturdy back and his strong, refined muscles.

  The pure aura of ancient nobility radiating from him was because of his refined elegance that was perfected through the years.

  On the surface, Baili Jia Jue seemed nonchalant, but an undeniable aura would sweep over his features when he smiled. His strong chiseled features seemed as though he was born to rule over the abyss.

  Slouched atop the dragon throne, he casually swirled a glass with one hand. Under the candlelight, he appeared exceptionally captivating.

  Baili Jia Jue's eyes narrowed when he heard that the messenger from Huangzi Nation and Yuanzong Nation had arrived. He did not take his eyes off of the glass, but elegantly raised it to his nose and took a whiff of it.

  The exorcists were following behind the messengers, and when they saw Baili Jia Jue, they simply scoffed in their minds. They believed that the Third Prince was so unaware because he was totally ignorant. In their opinion, the only way the War Dragon Empire could survive was through a marriage of state. Otherwise, no matter how strong they are, everything would be doomed if today's issue was not handled properly...

  "Your humble servant represents Huangzi Nation."

  "Your humble servant represents Yuanzong Nation."

  "Greetings, Your Highness!"

  The messengers placed their left hands onto their right shoulder, seemingly subservient. However, beneath the facade was an underlying duplicity.

  For them, only the Fifth Prince of the War Dragon Empire could truly understand politics and the workings of the imperial court.

  If the Emperor of the War Dragon Dynasty did not suddenly pass away, then this opportunity would never have fallen into the l.a.p of the Third Prince.

  Initially, they were quite wary of his status as the world's greatest. However, it seemed that there was no need to be anxious.

  Martial Qi and exorcism were two completely different things and were not related to the state affairs at all.

  If the Fifth Prince was governing now, it would definitely not be like this now. He would be extremely polite and courteous, treating them as honored guests.

  The previous Emperor's death had destabilized the imperial court. Surely, angering the neighboring nations would be a terrible move.

  Even though the present War Dragon Dynasty seemed the same from before, surely some troubles were brewing under this mirage of calmness.

  The intention of the ministers was one problem, while the generals with military power were another.

  When the people from the Xuanyuan Kingdom arrives, the Third Prince will realize that today's visit is not as simple as the ones in the past!

  The messengers were escorted by the palace servants to their respective seats. Both of them glanced at each other, faintly smiling with disdain that only they understood.

  Helian Wei Wei witnessed this exchange from the back where she was seated. She subtly raised her eyebrows and tapped on the arms of the chair, as her languid posture exuded a strong air of mischief...

  Chapter 654 - Her Highness Wei Wei (Humiliation: Part 2)

  When the conservative ministers observed His Highness' attitude, they became immensely worried. They racked their brains to strike up a conversation with the two messengers to prevent any further dissatisfaction. Hence, one of them held up his cup and said, "Both gentlemen have traveled from afar, it must be exhausting, right?"

  "It's not that exhausting, but the Capital is not as lively as the rumors say. When we entered the city, there aren't many hawkers around." The messengers smiled sarcastically, as he was obviously indirectly mocking the War Dragon Empire, saying that it was not as mighty as the rumors foretold.

  The ministers clearly understood his hidden vice but they were afraid of disrupting the peace if they retort back. They could only smile and act as if they did
not understand.

  Baili Jia Jue remained expressionless. He merely smiled and drank a cup of wine. Then, he glanced at the minister.

  The minister suddenly felt a chill running down his spine.

  "Since Minister Ge cannot answer this question..." Baili Jia Jue fiddled with the white porcelain cup in his hand and spoke calmly, "Then there is no need for him to attend the banquet, take him away."

  The last three words he uttered submerged the Great Hall in absolute iciness.

  Both of the messengers were stunned, suddenly forgetting what they should say or do next.

  Minister Ge was unaware of his mistake, but the shadow guards suddenly appeared and snatched his feathered hat away. He shouted, "Your Highness, Your Highness!"

  Helian Wei Wei was not surprised by that result when she heard it. The messengers harbored evil intentions, yet Minister Ge tried to grovel to them. This was a humiliation to the War Dragon Empire. His Highness would definitely take his life, no doubt.

  Baili Jia Jue still seemed indifferent but the faintly welcoming smile still hung from his face. It was as if taking a person's life was nothing to him.

  The exorcists sitting at the side did not realize the underlying malice and continued to chuckle, saying, "It's probably because of the Seal's problem which they couldn't solve. That's why the Capital seems desolate."

  Liu Yu noticed that the conversation was heading south and began to feel livid. It was all because of Minister Ge. He had caused them to lose the advantage and gave the opponents a head start.

  Both of the messengers broke into a peal of laughter and was about to speak.

  Suddenly, they heard someone saying, "Little Seven, tell them why there aren't many people on the streets in the Capital now."

  The ministers heard the sound and turned toward the direction of the voice. Helian Wei Wei rested her face on a single palm, smiling languidly as her eyes darkened.

  The little guy was holding a meat dumpling and answered naturally, "The weather is cold, who would still be outside. They are doing their business in the tea houses. Do they not have some common sense? What a waste of our time."
