The Anarchic Consort c1-1376

by Warring Young Seven

  Wei Wei didn't care about it, in the past, when she was on an assignment, the injuries that she received were much more serious than this one. In a moment, after she finished her bath, she'll apply something and it will be fine.

  The humidity in the mountains was too high, and too many layers of clothes to were worn in ancient times. If she was in some other place, Wei Wei would just wear a pair of sports shorts and that would handle it. This kind of wound would heal itself after a day in the air.

  As Wei Wei was thinking of this, she was yawning. She was even holding a cup of sake in her hand. In her past life what she loved it to do most was to soak in her one meter wide bathtub sized for two and drink red wine while making orders. Sometimes, she would grab her tablet and read a novel.

  She is unable to change the habits even though she's now living in the ancient past. There is no hope for her in reading a novel using tablets, however, this beautiful scenery pacified her.

  Wei Wei reached out, and was just about to put down the wine cup in her hand, when she heard a creaking sound. The wood door that she'd originally locked suddenly opened!

  Wei Wei stared blankly, her gaze was extremely focused. Several bluish green bamboos by the moonlight filled door swayed gently and slowly.

  The man was standing under the moonlight, wearing a flowing clouds patterned robe with wide sleeves over snow white clothes painted with vivid and lifelike bamboos, as if steeped in ink. Thick black hair was half bundled and fell on his broad back, like a deity from ancient times.

  "Your Highness?"

  Behind that man, Shadow was speaking anxiously. After all, this was Hidden Spirit Temple, women and men were supposed to he housed separately. Bursting into the courtyard the way Baili Jia Jue's doing was already breaking the rules.

  Shadow was only glad that currently, the sky was dark enough and most people were already asleep, he's able to settle the few who were awake, otherwise, based on what His Highness was doing, tomorrow, they'd be invited to drink tea with Retired Emperor!

  Baili Jia Jue seemed as if he hadn't heard anything as he waved his spacious sleeves. That wood door then seemed to heed his command and closed once again. Not even the smallest trace of a crack remained.

  He then stood that way beside the wooden tub, towering above her as he sized her up. After awhile. "You want to chat with me regarding some matters to follow without any clothes on like that?"

  That's when Wei Wei realized that even though this tub of steaming water was deep and rose petals were scattered on the surface, but it's not that it's not clear.

  In a flash, a pink cloud soared onto her cheek and spread. Wei Wei grabbed the towel dr.a.p.ed at the side and didn't forget to remind Baili Jia Jue. "Troubling your High Highness to turn your head around."

  Baili Jia Jue looked at that patch of spreading red and in his heart, it seemed as if prickly weeds were growing like mad in his heart, an urge faintly growing. He clasped his fingers tightly, within those dark eyes, an unknown light flashed. He once again unhurriedly sized up Wei Wei, before he got his body to turn around.

  Wei Wei swiftly wrapped that towel around her body, and firmly tied a knot. She also didn't place any clothes by her side. If she wanted to change, she needed to walk pass that man to reach the other side.

  Wei Wei thought about it and also didn't think it's a big deal. In any case, a towel was already wrapped around her body, so her b.a.r.e foot straightforwardly stepped on the wooden floor, when she sidestepped Baili Jia Jue, she took a glance at his face. His thick eyelashes closed gently, a dense aura of self-restraint. It seemed a certain Highness didn't have any intention of taking a glancing at her, she could relax and boldly go get her clothes.

  But what she didn't expect was that, she was just passing him when Baili Jia Jue's body moved. He probably couldn't tell with closed eyes from which direction she'd walk by and where to make way, so it instead made her directly bumped into his c.h.e.s.t.

  An incomparably fresh and clean scent of sandalwood seeped into her breath in a flash, fragrant and precious, extremely typical of him.

  Wei Wei frowned as she watched him slowly open his eyes, it's indeed an inquiring pair of eyes. Also, the shape of his eyes contained a slight implication of teasing and rumination, despite this, his aloof and cold nature was still displayed. "Did you do that on purpose? Purposefully bumped into my c.h.e.s.t."

  "Your Highness, you're really overthinking it." Wei Wei demonically laughed, and wanted to push him away.

  Unfortunately, the strip of cloth tying the towel together landed in the other person's palm.

  That pair of slender hands held literary scrolls within White Academy, beyond White Academy, they held Heaven and Earth, so beautiful that it make a person think of ancient white chinaware displayed in a museum.

  This kind of hand was very suitable for holding champagne glasses, but was actually even more suitable for...murder.

  But what he's currently holding was actually the strip of cloth used for tying the towel. This made Wei Wei feel that everything wasn't so normal. "Your Highness, don't you think that you should release your hand?" Wei Wei smiled all of a sudden, as her hands crossed in front of her c.h.e.s.t. "I don't believe that Your Highness came in the dark of night just to play with the strip of cloth on my towel, right?"

  Baili Jia Jue uttered 'hm?' then slowly approached her, on hand rested on her back, his gaze also immediately drifting downwards...

  Chapter 198 - His Highness Wei Wei

  Standing in her position, Helian Wei Wei could only see half of the side of his neck and the contours of his jawline, what's approaching closer was the pale colored cold thin lips, which seemed to be restraining his pheromones to a certain extent.

  This kind of man wouldn't merely be irresistible among women, among men, she reckoned that he'd also be well-received.

  It's just that it seemed a little inexcusable for her, a twenty first century special agent, to be pressed against a wall like this.

  "Your Highness, my temper is not that great." Wei Wei, in a position next to him, reached out and gripped his collar, her ruthless movement didn't retreat in the slightest, thin lips faintly smiling. "That's why, it's better that some jokes don't get started."

  Baili Jia Jue took a quick glance at her movements, and smiled as he pondered, that teasing appearance seemed to be saying 'what are you thinking, did you think I'd touch you?'

  Wei Wei shrugged her shoulders, there were some words which were of course better to say earlier as insurance, who knows what Third Prince was thinking.

  Baili Jia Jue slowly stood straight up in an indescribably reserved and aloof manner as he pushed her away, calmly extended his hand to straighten his collar. His movements were impeccable as he commanded. "You can go dress."

  Wei Wei didn't, because of this statement, relax at all. Seeing that there was only an ancient picture screen serving as a barrier in her chamber, her long, shapely eyebrows raised. "Your Highness won't step out?"

  "I'll stay here. You do your own thing." Baili JIa Jue carefreely reclined on the wood couch, his motions languid and expression tranquil, as if the owner of this room was actually him.

  Wei Wei: ...

  How could she change if he's here?

  What's more, she didn't even lie down on that couch before!

  Wasn't a certain Highness a bit too overbearing?

  Wei Wei looked up and glimpsed the dim light of night outside. She'd only waste time if she continued to dawdle. In any case, it's merely putting on clothes, and there's a screen anyway, there's nothing alarming about it.

  Besides, when they truly carry out that contract, even if they don't have physical relations, they still need to sleep in the same room. The two of them spending time alone ahead of time, could be helpful when they live together in the future.

  Wei Wei's personality was inherently decisive. She glanced at Baili JIa Jue one last time, before she took her clothes and walked to the other side of the screen.

  She firs
t dr.a.p.ed her clothes over the wood frame of the screen to one side. After that, she slowly started to untie the towel wrapped around her.

  What Wei Wei didn't know was that this kind of antique picture screen actually didn't serve its function that well, so much so that it made her movements become even more distinct.

  Her exquisite and delicate curves were imaged on the picture screen, while Wei Wei was moving sideways to get her jacket, she felt as if a gaze was sliding over her body inch by inch, making her indescribably feverish.

  Wei Wei furrowed her brows, a misperception? Why would she have this kind of misperception?

  She shook her head as she didn't believe that Third Prince would be interested in her, because when she came out, that face was still as it's been in the past, cold and detached. If it wasn't for that silver mask providing a softer effect, he would seem even more difficult to approach, what's more, he closed his eyes again.

  Wei Wei took the towel to dry her hair, indolently sat on the wood chair across from the couch and was just about to open her mouth.

  When she heard Baili Jia Jue's voice faintly say. "Come here."

  Wei Wei didn't refuse him, because there's no sense in refusing him, they'll need to work together for a long time still, merely, what she didn't anticipate was that as she was about to approach, Baili Jia Jue suddenly pulled her whole body over, the slightly cool fingers pressed on her knee, his voice cold. "What happened?"

  Wei Wei blanked out, she didn't expect that Third Prince would even care about her would. Even though his caring posture was somewhat weird. "When I supplicated for the incense wood, I kneeled too many times, it's from rubbing." Wei Wei also didn't want to be so soft skinned, but this body really hadn't been subjected to such hardsh.i.p.s before, when she kneeled on the eightieth step, she became aware that her knee was in pain, but time was pressing, so she didn't care about it. Right now, it would seem that the wound was actually a little bit malevolent and unsightly. No wonder even Third Prince frowned in dislike.

  Baili Jia Jue also didn't say anything as he pushed her away, stood up, opened the door and when he came in again holding a small box in his hand of things Wei Wei had never seen before.

  However, from that smell, they must be good stuffs, pure and cool and also containing extremely aromatic plants and herbs.

  Wei Wei's nose moved and hadn't opened her mouth to ask when an extremely comfortable feeling came from her knee.

  Wei Wei's fingers stiffened as she turned to look towards her feet, that pair of eyes was as indifferent as before, without the slightest degree of warmth. Those slender fingertips streaked across her leg, so cold.

  Due to the fact the injury was on her knee, when the wound was treated, it's necessary for him to sit even lower than her.

  Wei Wei watched the other person's posture, even though he looked up to peek, he still managed to exude the imposing manner of a sovereign king. She couldn't help but kick her lower leg.

  A total, complete patellar reflex almost kicked at his silver mask, but the man caught her ankle held it in place.

  Her ankle was very slender, the smooth, porcelain white seemed like it would break with a snap.

  Basically, it was just too delicate, Baili Jia Jue's hold was absolutely enough to block and with some to spare.

  The man's eyebrows raised, the tone of his voice cold. "You did that on purpose?"

  Wei Wei gazed at the sky. "No."

  "You apparently regret not having kicked my face." When Baili Jia Jue's cold voice faded, it's very easy for a person to think of a general making plans from a strategic position.

  Wei Wei cleverly changed the subject. "What did you apply on me?"

  "Heaven Peaks snow lotus root." With Third Prince's personality, it's hopeless to expect that when he replied to a question, he'd waste a single word.

  "Heaven Peaks snow lotus herb? Shouldn't be innately more useful when consumed orally?"

  "It's merely an herb, whatever use was fine." Baili Jia Jue gave her the herbs and indicated for her to crush it before applying on the other knee. Each and every move modeled an immortal's distinctness.

  Wei Wei was a bit disturbed, reportedly, consuming one stalk of Heaven Peaks lotus herb could stimulate three years worth of martial qi. For the sake of obtaining it, no small number of martial artists kept watch year round at the base of White Mountains, just to wait for it to bloom once every ten years. Furthermore, this thing usually grew on sheer cliffs and precipitous rock faces, and wasn't that easy to pick at all. That's why in the capitol, those herbal shops always sold Heaven Peaks snow lotus herbs at the highest price among high priced herbs. Not many people could bear to buy it. Even the Defense Division needed to consider their finances if they wanted this toy, yet Third Prince crazily used it as a very, extremely common ointment...

  A magnate's world indeed wasn't something us humans could comprehend!

  Wei Wei finally realized that she truly was the bride of 'Mr. Perfect', and had arrived at the pinnacle in life!

  Chapter 199 - Don’t Fall Into The Trap

  "Your Highness, it's already the midnight." Standing outside, Shadow quietly reminded as he raised his head to look towards the eastern sky, the monks at Hidden Spirit Temple already woke up. If it was discovered that a prince entered the side wing in the middle of the night, it's unclear what the consequences would be. It's very possible this eldest daughter of the Helian family's reputation would be thoroughly ruined.

  Baili Jia Jue naturally knew of this principle, since it's so late already, he originally shouldn't have come to this place.

  His long eyebrows furrowed as Baili Jia Jue uttered a lazy 'mm', and withdrew his hand. He said to Wei Wei. "Tomorrow, go find Eunuch Sun, he'll prepare a horse carriage for you again."

  "That's not so good." Helian Wei Wei's eyes flashed, thin lips smiling. "If I receive too much care, it'll easily attract jealousy."

  Baili Jia Jue looked up at her, his voice without the slightest undulation. "Eunuch Sun will find a good excuse."

  "Then OK." In any case, Wei Wei also wanted to stay comfortable inside a nice carriage. Since she need not have any misgivings, there's no reason to reject this p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e.

  Thinking of this, Wei Wei again lazily yawned, and stressed to Baili Jia Jue. "When you leave, help me close the door well, there are lots of mosquitos in the bamboo forest."

  Was this woman commanding His Highness?

  Shadow heard the voice inside the room and silently looked at the sky. When his senses recovered, Baili JIa Jue already stepped outside.

  "Your Highness." Shadow hesitated for a moment, and ultimately didn't report the most recent news he'd discovered to his master, thinking he should wait and see. It could possibly be a trap.

  After all, Miss Yun was different from other women.

  Even Shadow didn't understand why His Highness would choose this young lady from the Helian family.

  Could it be that he wanted to divert the four great clan's attention?

  If it's like this, then that could explain it.

  It's just a pity for this Miss Helian. She should be clueless in regards to everything...

  Shadow again took a glance behind him as he followed Baili Jia Jue's pace.

  The second day, fine sunny weather, a pure and honest breeze blew gently.

  Breakfast was vegetarian, as before. Those vegetables were all grown behind the temple. Freshly picked, freshly eaten, fragrant after only a couple of flips in the saute pan.

  It's possible to see that Retired Emperor's mood was quite good today. After finishing breakfast, he also didn't ask the students to accompany him. Instead, he went to the yard behind the temple to fulfill his promise.

  Besides praying for blessings at Hidden Spirit Temple, it's most efficacious to request a predestined marriage here.

  Now that they've already come, few of these girls from noble families found their hearts unmoved. They again straightforwardly said that as long as the maids led the way, they'd go ligh
t an incense.

  Wei Wei didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, and took advantage of the time few people were around to grab Hei Ze's sleeve.

  Hei Ze felt it's odd. "Hey, you're still taking the initiative to find me."

  "Get rid of that weird shady tone of voice." Wei Wei spread out her palm. Within was a string of pearly white Buddhist beads, if women wore this, it'd definitely be very beautiful. "You entrusted me to beg for this."

  Hei Ze's eyes shined. "You're actually able to obtain this in the end."

  "Did you think that it's useless for you guys to kowtow a few more times." Wei Wei smiled lightly as she watched his expressions. "What? You want to present this to that childhood sweetheart as a way to protect her safety?"

  Hei Ze's face became cold. "Who'd want to give it to that ungrateful plaything, I just wanted to play with it myself."

  "Play with a ladies styled string of Buddhist beads?" Wei Wei laughed. "Young Master Hei's taste is truly unusual."

  Hei Ze also didn't get angry, as he put away the beads. "It's still better than a certain person offending Third Prince in a way that they shouldn't have."

  Wei Wei stretched her body, like she didn't hear what he said.

  Hei Ze's voice was very level, yet hinted at a warning. "Don't let yourself fall into a trap, Third Prince approaching you, this isn't a simple matter to begin with."

  Wei Wei knitted her long, shapely eyebrows, the more she listened, the more she felt Hei Ze's words already pointed something out.

  "Young Master Hei, how are you still here!" Eunuch Sun gnawed at his gums as he raised his horsetail whisk. "Retired Emperor has been looking for you everywhere."

  Hei Ze turned his head around and took a quick look at Eunuch Sun. He said to Wei Wei. "I'll leave first, then. You take care."

  Wei Wei emotionlessly uttered an 'mm'.

  Eunuch Sun then glanced this way, pondered for a bit, and still strolled to come over. He chuckled 'hehe' and said. "This slave heard that the Young Miss' knee was injured, so should find a more comfortable carriage. I've already arranged for it, when Retired Emperor comes out, a young eunuch will lead Eldest Miss there. You don't need to worry about anything else."
