The Anarchic Consort c1-1376

by Warring Young Seven

  Noon, Dragon War Empire.

  The roads crowded with people and carriages, the city bustling with prosperity.

  Helian Wei Wei leisurely walked on the cobbled stone pavement, listening to the street vendor's bartering, experiencing the genuine fact that she was currently living in a totally different era.

  "Hey, woman, you have been walking for quite some time, aren't you tired?" Yuan Ming who was in the ancient book asked, with presumptuous voice.

  Helian Wei Wei ignored him.

  Yuan Ming sighed heavily, wait till he recovered all his cultivation, the first thing he would do was to teach this woman a lesson, she was too arrogant, not cute at all!

  "Hey, did you hear? The Phoenix Loft is looking for an Armament Master, the winner will receive ten thousand silver taels, this is a once in several years opportunity, I have never met a Armament Master!"

  Hearing this Helian Wei Wei stopped, her lips curved into a smile.

  One could be searching high and low, and yet by a lucky stroke of luck, the item could easily be found.

  Coincidentally she was in need of money, why not go to this 'assembly' to check out if she could get some money.

  "I don't care about any Armament Master, usually they are very old, so there's nothing worth my time to look at, no eye candy at all." Helian Wei Wei smiled while walking, as she said it dismissively.

  Yuan Ming nearly vomited blood out after hearing what she said!

  When people hear the two words "Armament Master" one would only think if they could get a suitable armament for themselves.

  But not her, she only cared about the person's looks….

  "Woman, can you be a bit more serious!" If she continued to be this indifferent, when could he recover his cultivation!

  Helian Wei Wei innocently replied "I'm very serious."

  "Where is your seriousness?" Yuan Ming weakly retorted.

  Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrow " I'm very serious about earning my school expense!"

  School expense? What's that? You mean it's more important than gaining a new armament? He really couldn't understand what this woman was simply thinking! Yuan Ming straightened his ears, as he glared at her.

  Helian Wei Wei just smiled and turned onto a long old bridge, as she found the legendary Phoenix Loft.

  The size of the crowd was bigger than what she had imagined, it was practically a sea of people.

  The memories of the body told Helian Wei Wei some information about "Armament Master".

  In the entire Dragon War Empire, there were only a few elite Armament Masters. Although many have cultivated and reached the appropriate level, yet they couldn't understand the fundamentals of dismantle and reconstruct, hence they wouldn't be able to create any armaments.

  With this kind situation, even for the established cultivator is rather difficult.

  Since ancient times, objects have been valued by their scarcity. The simple logic of supply and demand.

  So the amount of people who came to observe the selection of "Armament Master" was reasonable…..

  "Look who's here!"

  "Helian Wei Wei? Why did she come?"

  "What? Even the trash came? Why is she here? I saw her score, she has the worst score in the academy, her admission might be canceled by the headmaster, and yet she still has the guts to leisurely walk around, such an open-minded person."

  "Not just open-minded, I think she is just thick-skinned, her fiance annulled her, and she is just roaming around, whose face is she losing!"

  The people talked while blatantly glancing at her with disdain.

  Helian Wei Wei didn't think that she would be meet her 'fellow students', her lips curved upwards, emitting an icy aura.

  Yuan Ming excitingly rubbed his hands "Are we fighting? This lord have not taste fresh warm blood for a long time!"

  "Yuan Ming, let me remind you once again, we came here to earn money, not to fight." Helian Wei Wei slowly and imperturbed told him, lazily yawned, as if not seeing the crowd of people.

  Since they were 'fellow students', why did she need to be afraid that she won't get a chance to get her revenge on them? Why so hasty?

  Yuan Ming's lips curved up: "You're right."

  There's still many years ahead of us, hehe...

  At this moment, an elderly woman appeared from the Phoenix Loft, her face was full of distress and regret, it showed how demanding this test was.

  However, the Phoenix Loft was pretty humane, the process of the test and result would be kept confidential, so even if one failed or not, that person would be the only one who knew….

  "Who else wants to apply?" The steward looked around.

  The crowd looked at each other, still hesitating.

  Helian Wei Wei walked up, her attitude neither haughty nor humble "Me."

  Chapter 9 - Unprecedented Talent

  Just as her voice faded, burst of taunts and disdain blared around her.

  "Ha? Did I hear it incorrectly. Did the trash just say she also wanted to sign up for the Armament Master Assembly?"

  "Is there something wrong with Helian Wei Wei's brain ? Did she become dumb after getting her engagement annulled?"

  "She's too over-confident, hehe...…"

  The steward glanced at Helian Wei Wei, her tone full of hesitation "Come with me."

  After getting her attention, the steward turned around and walked into the Phoenix Loft.

  The assessment was not held indoors, but in an antique styled pavilion, inside the pavilion was a white jade table, on the table were rows of 'scrap metal', a grey-haired elder was sitting on a rocking chair, his eyes closed, resting. Even when he sensed Helian Wei Wei's presence, he didn't open his eyes, only said "Everything is on table, the assessment is an hour, just move them around as you see fit."

  From morning till now, not one of them was exceptional, the elder seemed to be dejected, that he became uninterested with the rest of the assessment.

  Helian Wei Wei scanned the 'scrap metal' in front of her, her eyes sparkled, as if something flashed by her eyes.

  Yuan Ming curiously stared at her, what's with this woman? Why is she so happy all of a sudden?

  Helian Wei Wei just smirked, unhurriedly walked towards the table, she even seem to be lazy.

  This made the steward frown.

  The elder didn't seem to mind, not a lot of people could succeed in an hour anyways.

  Sigh, it's just his wishful thinking, he shouldn't have held the assessment here….

  She was just like an outstanding conductor, she waved her long sleeve. Firstly, she smoothly tied up her hair into a high ponytail, then rolled up her sleeves, her eyes lowered down looking at the 'scrap metal', her left hand was busy dismantling, while her right hand reconstructed.

  Her fingers were very nimble, moreover it was rhythmical, in her hands those 'scrap metal' seem to come alive.

  Kacha!

  When the first part was completed, she unhurriedly picked up the second 'scrap metal'!

  The elder's facial expression didn't change, but what surprised the steward was that the elder had opened his eyes, and he was even focused on Helian Wei Wei.

  Helian Wei Wei crossed over her hands, casually moved her fingers, keeping her eye on what she was doing while asking' If I win, I can receive that ten thousand taels?"

  "Ha?" The steward had not expected such question, he didn't react at the moment.

  Helian Wei Wei frowned, stopped doing what she was doing "No prize?" Then why the hell does she need to do this?

  "Proceed!" the elder's deep and rough voice burst out, his spirited eyes looking at Helian Wei Wei " Girl, let me see how fast you can be?"

  Helian Wei Wei smirked, smiled" Give me the money first."

  "Money, what money?" After finally discovering a good seedling, and this young girl was talking about money with him, he was so anxious!

  The steward's face was full of awkwardness "It's the money that the Phoenix Loft prepared, the person who wins will receive the
prize, I will go and prepare it now."

  "Girl, you've heard him, now can you continue?" you can't blame the elder not being level-headed, he wanted to see if what he just saw was an illusion.

  "Sure." Helian Wei Wei cracked her neck.

  This time she was more swift, as her sharp phoenix eyes raised, her fingers deftly tapped on the 'scrap metal', and start concentrating on reconstructing.

  Nobody knew, that for the her who had transmigrated from the modern world, weapon dismantling was just a common routine.

  She could completely dismantle a K4 portable sniper gun in ten seconds with her eyes closed, then reconstruct the part back together in ten seconds!

  She was very familiar with these parts that are made of unknown material and has a perfect radian, in the 21th century, she will need to play with this everyday, she didn't expect that in the ancient times there would also be this training, how could Helian Wei Wei not itch to do this.

  Kacha!

  The steward's eyes widened, looked over to the elder.

  The elder was clutching the teacup in his hand, the other hand was pressed against the rocking chair, as if wanting to stand up…..

  Kacha…...Kacha!

  The third part!

  The steward straightened his neck excitedly!

  Helian Wei Wei didn't seem to be affected by her surroundings, her pace was very quick, so swift that it was a blur, if you blinked, you would miss her movement.

  At that moment, the steward was only thinking about how that pair of hands were exceptionally beautiful, she didn't seem to be disassembling something, rather it's more like she was performing a wonderful song, with the crisp sound of kacha burst between the movement of her fingers!

  Sections of the metal chain were quickly yet neatly placed upon the white jade table.

  The elder completely stood up, shockingly his facial expression totally changed!

  But this brat…..

  Nine segments!

  She completed all of of them!?

  The elder took a deep breath, raised the teacup in his hand, wanting to drink some tea to calm his shock. When he was just about to speak, he saw Helian Wei Wei swiftly turned her hand, all the metal segments lined up together with her fleeted movement, and lined them up into a silver glimmering straight line…..

  Shua!

  Helian Wei Wei shifted her fingers, and a long silver whip struck down, so fast that as if the cherry blossom petals would get blown up!

  "Nine Tunes Silver Snake!"

  The elder couldn't help but cried out, his hands trembling, his mouth was so wide that flies could fly in, his eyes focused on Helian Wei Wei, as if he found a treasure!

  How many years has it been?

  Moreover, she reconstructed it into a Nine Tunes Silver Snake!

  She was probably the genius that appeared in ten years. No! Probably in a hundred years!

  The elder could see in the near future, this girl would be an extraordinary "Armament Master" that shone with a dazzling light. When he thought about it, the elder can't help but smile.

  The laugh was mellow and bright, full of excitement that was unprecedented. "Girl, this old man has decided, I want you as my disciple!" He declared heartily.

  When Helian Wei Wei heard the news, she didn't say anything, her facial expression was bland, no one could tell if she was happy or angry.

  Although the steward who was standing at the side was looking at Helian Wei Wei with shock, when he saw that Wei Wei was not moving, his first thought was that she was thrilled, and quickly added: "This elder has not accept any disciple for ten years, and this time he has the idea to accept you, Miss has such good fortune, if you become his disciple, you will have the same master as Young Master Murong, your future is boundless!

  The elder slowly stroked his beard, waved his hand while smiling.

  But what he was not expecting was Helian Wei Wei's repy of " I refuse."

  Chapter 10 - Movement of the Red Phoenix Star

  The steward was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped onto the floor after hearing the answer.

  The elder didn't expect that the result would be like this, his whole body tensed up, his eyes staring straight at Helian Wei Wei "Why?"

  "No reason." Helian Wei Wei gracefully lowered the long whip, took the money and just left, not caring about their reaction.

  The elder's facial expression was still stiff, seem to unable to accept that he was rejected, he didn't know how to describe his emotions right now, stunned, reluctant, add up the regret of not getting this talented disciple…his heart was in turmoil. He suppressed his voice into a low shout " Chang Steward, everything about what you saw today, must not be known."

  "Yes." Chang Steward hastily nodded his head, even though he didn't understand why Tu Lao suddenly became so serious, but as the steward of the Phoenix Loft, the only thing they did best was to keep secrets.

  The elder glanced at the 'Nine Tunes Silver Snake', he took the whip up, wrapping it with a black cloth, said" Then that's all, as for the rest of the examination, you continue it, I'm going to see the Grandmaster."

  "Huh?" The steward looked at the back of the elder who was was hastily walking away, he was stupefied, he was just a steward, he didn't know how to grade Armaments!

  " Tu Lao, Tu Lao!"

  Chang Steward chased after him in little steps while shouting for the elder, yet no matter how much he cried out, the elder didn't even glance back at him.

  Now, the elder's mind was completely filled with thoughts on how to win over the brat, the extraordinary talent that she possessed. If the other clans knew about her, it would definitely cause powerful people to rise and looking for her, so he must quickly find the Grandmaster, and properly discuss it...

  ...

  " Look, the trash came out!"

  "Look, only how much time has passed, did she get kicked out by Tu Lao?"

  "Haha, most likely, Tu Lao's temper is pretty bad, the people who have the talent for armament is very little already, and this waste still followed here to join the examination, getting kicked out is normal."

  Ignoring the ridicule around her, Helian Wei Wei's expression didn't change at all, her demeanor was still one of leisure, the same casual manner when she strode in to take the test. Now that it was over so quickly and she had swaggered out, with one look and anyone could see that the results were bad.

  The crowd was gloating, they were even more sure about Helian Wei Wei, being a complete waste. Afterwhich, They didn't even spare a glance at her, she was just a waste, she didn't deserve them wasting their energy for her.

  And yet, they didn't know that the 'trash' they were talking about, already won the prize for this Armament Master Assembly….

  ...

  Deep within the Dragon War Empire, from east to west there's an ancient palace, orchid fragrance was still lit inside the palace, white mist wafting, lulling people to sleep.

  The servants hung up the lavishly embroidered silver silk dr.a.p.ery, lightly opened the incense burner, added more incense in using a gold spoon, then nimbly left the room without trace.

  Baili Jia Jue was laying on his side on the golden embellished sandal wood chaise lounge, his arm supporting his head, his midnight black hair sprawled out and some rested on his left hand which was holding onto an old scroll.

  Two beauties were kneeling beside him, holding the incense burner, the clothing they were wearing were so thin.

  Baili Jia Jue coldly smiled, pang! He kicked over the burner!

  "Get out!" The deep voice was cold, resounding in the spacious palace, sending a cold chill to their spine.

  The two servants looked at each other, trembling beside Baili Jia Jue's legs, one hand holding his robe "Your highness, what did this servant do wrong, this servant can change….."

  The woman raised her palm sized face, her eyes glistening with tears, her long eyelashes fluttered down like a fan.

  Any men won't be able to resist this kind of temptation.


  But Baili Jia Jue was not like other men!

  Just then when a servant wanted to fall into Baili Jia Jue's arms, a silver light flashed by.

  That palace maid's forehead slanted to a side, then terrifying wisps of blood suddenly spilled out from the corner of her mouth.

  "Settle it." Baili Jia Jue's voice coldly announced this command.

  In less than an hour, the palace had one less unnecessary palace maid.

  Shadow, who had executed the command, grasped his ice cold blade as he stood behind Baili Jia Jue as he watched the scene apathetically.

  Baili Jia Jue laughed coldly, and unhurriedly untied his sleeves and threw his robes, "Burn it."

  "Understood." Shadow lowered his head deferentially. He had long expected this kind of outcome. The master of this family would never allow his outer garments to be touched by others.

  It seemed, aside from the Miss from the Helian family, nobody else could even come close to this master's body.

  However, if that miss had not daringly provoked his master, it's possible that Master would have long killed her off. Now, he had kept her purely because Master had his own unique interests.

  Shadow saw the master of this family, bemused smile, and all the hairs on his arm stood straight as he threw the expensive outer garment into the fireplace. He observed a moment of silence in tribute for that unknown lady, hoping that she would not die so miserably next time.

  As the fire burned brightly, some sounds of activity came in from the outside.

  "Brat, don't pretend that you're not here in front of this old man, this old man knows that you are inside! If you have the ability then come out for this old man, and this old man will immediately accept you as a follower!"

  When Shadow heard the commotion outside, a look that said, "No way, not this again", appeared on his face. He quickly called for men to first prepare some clothes to give to his family's master to put on.

  Baili Jia Jue was never fl.u.s.tered as he received his outer robe and placed his hands into the sleeves, buttoning each button one by one, without the slightest bit of care for what was happening outside.
