The Anarchic Consort c1-1376

by Warring Young Seven

  Helian Wei Wei kept quiet and continue observing Yan Liu'er.

  Only then did Yan Liu'er noticed Helian Wei Wei standing in front of her, "You, it's you, that Feng Shui specialist…" Then she saw Baili Jia Jue and was finally relieved, "Great, you both have come to save me!"

  Helian Wei Wei muttered in response but continued with an unexpected question, "Wang Ling, Yan Liu'er, take off your wedding outfits."

  Wang Ling's face changed slightly, "How did you know I'm also wearing a wedding outfit." When he went to open the door just now, he especially put on a long cotton-padded jacket, no one should be able to see what he was wearing on the inside.

  Helian Wei Wei glanced at him, "When there's a bride there will always be a groom. Why? Don't you want to take it off?"

  "No, I was just wondering why do you want us to take off our clothes?" Wang Ling laughed coldly. "If you wanted to interrogate us, you can arrest us and lock us in the yamen. What is the meaning of this? I'm growing suspicious about whether if you were actually commissioned to investigate us?"

  Old Lady Wang has never thought about it this way. Hearing what her son said, she eyed Helian Wei Wei with suspicion.

  Helian Wei Wei did not say much to any of them, instead, she walked right up to Baili Jia Jue and slid her hands down his waist.

  Baili Jia Jue did not stop her. With his thin lips in a smirk, he appeared wickedly handsome.

  Even after patting him down many times, Helian Wei Wei could not feel anything. She was starting to wonder if he had forgotten to bring his command token.

  The man then calmly spread out his fair and slender fingers in an elegant manner, in a clear voice he asked, "Is this what you're looking for?"

  Helian Wei Wei grunted in response and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that you have the command token in your hand?"

  "Seeing how enthusiastic you were as you felt around, how would I dare to disturb the missus." In the last few words, Baili Jia Jue's voice had a smile in it, "After all, I was the one who was being lavished on, of course, I must follow the rules."

  Helian Wei Wei was dumbstruck.

  Rules my foot!

  It was obvious that he was using a different method to take advantage of her!

  Shameless, how shameless!

  Of course Helian Wei Wei would never pick a fight with His Highness. Not one other person in the world could be as evil as His Highness.

  His hand gestured the command token toward Wang Ling with an indifferent expression. "You are also a scholar. You should be able to recognise the words on this," Baili Jia Jue said to him.

  Looking at the golden plaque before him, Wang Ling's eyes instantly widened. His gaze toward Baili Jia Jue had also changed!

  That was because every scholar from the capital knew that the Retired Emperor once gave the Third Prince a golden plaque. The plaque not only symbolized the Third Prince's identity, but also gave him a certain authority. 'Sovereign in person' were the words written on it!

  Chapter 704 - The Cunning Hostile Ghost

  Thud!

  Wang Ling kneeled down to the ground and stammered nervously, "C⁠—Commoner pays respect to the Third Prince!"

  Old Lady Wang and Yan Liu'er gasped in disbelief upon hearing Wang Ling's words.

  T⁠—this person is the current Third Prince?

  Old Lady Wang did not kneel down immediately, however, one could see that she was shocked.

  Yan Liu'er, on the other hand, kowtowed after Wang Ling kneeled down. Her hands had even started trembling.

  Baili Jia Jue's expression did not change much, his elegant side face was perfect like an ice sculpture, cold and pale.

  Helian Wei Wei spoke calmly while her eyes swept over the trembling Wang Ling, "Is there anyone who still doubts our identity?"

  Wang Ling shook his head vigorously, keeping his mouth shut as if he were immersed in shock, unable to make a sound.

  "Since nobody has any doubts, then take off your clothes," Helian Wei Wei stared at both Wang Ling and Yan Liu'er.

  The two of them were stunned for a while. Wang Ling was the first to move, followed by Yan Liu'er. They did not seem reluctant, on the contrary, they cooperated well as they removed their clothes.

  Although Helian Wei Wei said nothing, her eyes darkened as she held up the oil lamp from the wooden table. After having a look at it, she swiftly threw the lamp right onto the wedding outfits, not allowing anyone to salvage them.

  Wang Ling and Yan Liu'er were still kneeling on the ground. From afar, they did not even dare to look up.

  Upon hearing the sudden noise of crackling fire at an arm's length away, they shuddered.

  Helian Wei Wei looked at them condescendingly with a faint smile, "Now that the wedding outfits are gone, you won't be able to go back even if you wished to. I will give you two options, one, you come out from there by yourself, I will release your souls from suffering; two, I will grab you out now and annihilate you!"

  Both of them were unresponsive.

  Whereas the hostile ghost in hiding snickered. Annihilate? Such high-sounding sentiments! Does she think that I am of the same level as an ordinary hostile ghost?

  Just now it had gotten a taste of that man's power, and it was indeed impressive.

  Up till now, it was unable to grasp that man's identity.

  However, to it, no matter how powerful one could be, as long as its source was not completely destroyed, it could still regenerate itself even from just a miniscule amount of resentful aura!

  That woman was clever as well, knowing to burn the wedding outfits.

  Then again, did she assume it would not see through her? She had no idea who was it hiding in, that was why she simply gave some harsh warnings.

  So full of themselves!

  There was less than an hour left, which meant that it would be over soon as long as it could hide itself well.

  In an hour, all the spirits would have gathered by then.

  By that time, the aura of resentment from it would spread to the rest.

  Not only could they possess the human body, but also spread the aura of resentment to the underworld.

  Since today was All Souls Day, the newly deceased dead souls were included for this gathering as well!

  These dead souls could get in to the underworld much easier than the previous dead souls.

  It was because they were on the Book of Life and Death, hence the reaper would be summoning for them.

  There was no need to barge in, the reaper would take them to the underworld.

  There comes a time when they would be reborn as babies into the world. By then, newborns of the expecting mothers in the Capital would turn into evil spirits.

  When the time comes, the seal would be broken. Those evil monsters and spirits locked away in the underworld would resurface on earth.

  As for humans, they would become their food.

  The hostile ghost laughed quietly. Its eyes peeked at Old Lady Wang from the shadows. There's no use for this old woman anymore.

  It had initially thought that she was different from the others, at least she was ruthless. What it did not expect was that she was persuaded.

  Humans, as expected, were still weak even when had become dead corpses.

  It was not worth working with them.

  Although it was personally created by her, a lowly dead corpse like her was not fit to be its master!

  Kill her!

  The face of the hostile ghost switched around rapidly, one moment it was Zhang Ling'er, next it was Wang Wanxi. They were the people who were killed by Old Lady Wang. Right now, all their faces showed unprecedented hatred.

  If it were not for the Wang mother and son, they would not have died.

  Therefore, they absolutely would not let both of them get away!

  "Why bother talking so much with it?" Baili Jia Jue stepped forward. His shiny black boots gave a loud thump as it was brought down against the floor. He walked gracefully as he wore a vague smile on his face, his enti
re demeanor was wickedly charming. His eyes, however, were as cold as ice. "Kill them both, one of them must be it."

  Old Lady Wang's face turned pale when she heard his words. She rushed in front of her son and kneeled down before Baili Jia Jue, kowtowing several times until blood was all over her forehead. "Your Highness, I beg you, please don't kill my son. Didn't you all promised not to touch my son?"

  Baili Jia Jue looked at her distastefully, "It was not I who promise you."

  Old Lady Wang did not expect to get such a reply. She fell to the ground meekly, "Wang Ling had not done any wrong, he…"

  "He may be possessed by the hostile ghost. If he does not die, more people would die." Baili Jia Jue interrupted her calmly without any expressions on his face, "You made that wedding outfit for your son to get married. Now that your son had donned the outfit, he should be responsible for it, isn't that only fair?"

  Old Lady Wang covered her face and began to cry. She was truly remorseful now. Not once did she imagine that a wedding outfit would harm his son!

  Old Lady Wang shook her head and turned toward Helian Wei Wei with her tears rolling down, "Please, I beg you, please spare my son's life! I would do anything for it! I beg you!"

  Helian Wei Wei stayed silent.

  Yan Liu'er was frightened, quickly moving further away from Wang Ling.

  Wang Ling clenched both of his hands before he spoke with a hoarse voice, "Mother, don't be like this…"

  "Ah Ling, my poor Ah Ling…"

  Following Old Lady Wang's wailing, dark clouds were getting thicker in the sky. Without warning, the sky thundered as lightning struck down.

  The guards on the outside were startled. While fidgeting about, they looked at each other and felt rain drops on their face. An unknown fear crawled into their vision.

  Not only the guards, but the residents on the streets, be it young ones or elderlies, were all shocked. Their doors and windows were shut tightly as they held their grandchildren in their arms. With their hands, they covered the children's eyes, afraid that they might witness an unholy sight.

  After all, the elderlies had lived longer than the younger ones. They knew more than the younger ones as well.

  Moreover, it was winter season. It should not be raining in the first place...

  Chapter 705 - The Beginning Of Helian Wei Wei’s Witty Mind

  It could be said that this was a bad omen.

  Be it grave robbing or exorcising, that very one taboo was to do those things in rainy weather.

  The reason was because water contained Qi of Yin.

  It was likely to induce the rise of living corpses…

  At this very moment, the King of Hell who initially wanted to close the gates to the netherworld in three days gave a new order. If the rain would not stop, the gates to the netherworld must be closed at midnight, which was the zero hour.

  When the son of the King of Hell heard the news, he smacked the Book of Life and Death in his hands, "Old man, are you kidding me?"

  King of Hell hated being called old the most. His hand tightened around the teacup he was holding, then with an unpleasant expression he scolded,"B*stard, you must be yearning to be punished! From today onward, you're forbidden to step out from the netherworld!"

  "You're making me want to leave here!" The King of Hell's son had two horns on his head and a death mark imprinted on the corner of his handsome mouth, "You think I love this place? I will head toward the human world now! Little Hook is still waiting for me there!"

  The King of Hell snickered, "Wasn't that the human who kicked you back here? Still waiting for you? Isn't it time that you wake up from your daydream?"

  "Old Man, I'll tolerate you this time since you're my father!" His son lifted his huge black axe and prepared to leap toward the human world!

  Resignedly, he was not skillful enough. After jumping a long way, he was still unable to get out from that supposedly little place.

  The son of the King of Hell looked back at his father, "If you're so capable, let go of me and I'll fight you one on one!"

  "Why should I fight one on one with you? Shut your mouth, you brat!" The King of Hell was annoyed as well. This b*stard thought that I really wanted to close the gates of netherworld? With the current situation, if something bad infiltrated in, it would be much more troublesome to handle.

  It was obvious that the King of Hell was not a man of patience. He confined his son to a chair and then continued to give orders to the judges. They must match the names and time of death on the Book of Life and Death before midnight.

  Seeing as his father was busy, the son took a peek at the two-headed dog behind him.

  That was his pet which would always follow alongside him all year round.

  Seeing their owner staring at them, they stopped playing.

  One of heads spoke, "Little brother, look. What is young master calling us for?"

  "He must want us to untie him!" The other head replied with confidence. It had straightened itself up, waiting for a praise from the King of Hell's son.

  However...

  Its voice and movements were too loud.

  Not just the busy King of Hell, but even the judges looked toward the son of the King of Hell...

  He cursed under his breath, holding his forehead with his small hand. How stupid was the dog he reared! Dumber than huskies!

  There was no other choice. Even though he knew his father would be enraged after hearing what he had to say, and would probably want to duel with that person, he insisted on telling!

  "Old Man, do you remember that Great Demon King whom you always fought with and was on par with you? He's still alive, I saw him." The truth was, his father had never won against the Great Demon King, but he said it to agitate his father less.

  As expected, the King of Hell pushed aside the judges before him as he yelled with fire in his eyes, "Where's that jerk?"

  His son replied coldly, "Why should I tell you?"

  The King of Hell narrowed his eyes, a shimmer of amber emitted from them, "You think you can threaten me this way?"

  "Anyway, he became more handsome than before." His son pretended like it was none of his business and continued,"If mother sees him, she would definitely abandon you, have you forgotten how she praised him that time? She commented that he was like a divine deity, with a devilish aura around him, yet he was as gentle as water. Sigh, the main core of that person is his charisma. Father, not that I want to deal a blow at you, it's just that although you look alright, using violence for loyalty is no longer the trend now. Instead, gentle and elegance is highly sought after, yet you have none of those qualities. Moreover, mother has not completely agree to be with you even until now. Heh!"

  The words from the King of Hell's son had sparked the King of Hell's fury!

  "Tell me his location right now and I'll let you go to the human world to see Little Hook!" King of Hell could not tolerate men whom his wife had praised before. He must kill them all!

  The son of the King of Hell took the chance and clapped his hands, "Deal!"

  The father and son made a deal. One went to the palace with rage.

  The other used the two-headed dog to quickly locate the Alsatian beside Helian Wei Wei. He jumped down and landed on the Wang family's roof.

  Right then, Helian Wei Wei's eyes darkened along with the sudden downpour.

  When the son of the King of Hell saw her, he immediately jumped down into the courtyard, "Woman!"

  Helian Wei Wei saw the hostile little boy and raised her eyebrows,"Why did you come?"

  "I'm here to inform you that my father is closing the Path of Reincarnation in advance. Luckily he is a jealous man. Once he heard about the Great Demon King, he forgot his responsibilities and rushed to the palace!"

  Helian Wei Wei listened quietly but could not help herself as she turned to look at Baili Jia Jue.

  His Highness had his attractive face turned to the side. Moonlight and rain meant nothing to him, even the words of the King of Hell'
s son were not taken seriously

  But… what had His Highness done this time, to make the King of Hell lose his mind, and left everything behind just for revenge in the human world?

  Helian Wei Wei did not doubt His Highness' ability to attract hatred.

  Yet he never seemed to be bothered by it before.

  Becoming His Highness' enemy was quite a tragedy...

  "But," the King of Hell's son continued, "He was always fast. If he could not find the Great Demon King in the palace, he would immediately continue with his plan to close the Path of Reincarnation. The judges are all ready. Once it reaches midnight, the gates to the netherworld would be closed. Unless the rain stops, or the netherworld would not be able to tell which spirit carried the aura of resentment and which did not. Hence, this extreme measure is the only way."

  She knew that the decision to close the gates to the netherworld was for the greater good. It was an effective way to quarantine the infection from spreading.

  Unless the source of the infection could be eliminated immediately, if not, the Path of Reincarnation would definitely need to close.

  Helian Wei Wei turned her head and rested her sights on Yan Liu-er and Wang Ling. Then, she narrowed her eyes as she strode toward Wang Ling, "In that case, we should not waste anymore time."

  In that moment, hidden under its long hair, the corners of the hostile ghost's lips slowly lifted, giving off a frightening aura. It knew it. However clever a person was, they would always forget about the innocent weaklings. Moreover, he had already made a scene just now which went according to his plan. The moment the wedding outfits were burned, he finally picked this person...

  Chapter 706 - Identifying The Hostile Ghost, In Your Face!

  "No!" Old Lady Wang's cries for mercy became howls.

  Wang Ling closed both of his eyes, waiting for Helian Wei Wei's dagger to cut down.

  The evil spirit bowed its head laughingly, the angle around the corners of its mouth grew steeper.

  As long as they do not kill me right now, soon afterwards, they will all die!
