The Anarchic Consort c1-1376
Page 147
However, she assumed that His Highness was probably trying not to reveal his identity.
Her smile widened. "Yes?"
"I was referring to you when I said 'Scram'."
Nothing more than a few words with a soft voice, but they were enough to echo clearly in everyone's ears.
Yun Biluo was completely dumbfounded. She felt that her brain was buzzing wildly, giving her a terrible headache.
His tone was so devoid of any emotions, it was as though she was an unimportant stranger.
Yun Biluo only regained her senses after some time. She glanced at Baili Jia Jue subconsciously, but he merely stood there, impassive.
Feeling embarrassed, Yun Biluo tightly clenched her fist. Her clear, beautiful face faded into a look of discomfort, as disappointment lurked in her sparkling, beautiful eyes. She forced a slight smile onto her tensed cheeks, her eyes red and damp with tears. "I know it's my fault…"
She clearly had something to say, but their conversation went unheard by the surrounding people.
Helian Jiao Er concocted a scheme when she noticed the man appearing behind Helian Wei Wei. Unable to contain herself, she cried in a shrill voice, "Elder Sister! You endlessly oppressed us as the princess consort, yet you disrespect that title by behaving so intimately with another man! Elder Sister, are you not afraid that people will say that you are profligate and unchaste?"
When Yun Biluo heard it, she resisted the urge to turn and slap Helian Jiao Er in the face!
Does she know what she is doing?
She is ruining her plan!
However, Helian Wei Wei did not give her the opportunity. She glanced amusingly at Baili Jia Jue and responded flatly, "I am profligate and unchaste?"
"Elder Sister, everyone in the academy is well-aware of the relationship between you and this man." Helian Jiao Er decided to wager her everything or the chance to completely destroy Helian Wei Wei would forever elude her. "You were the one who gave this man his fortune, aren't you? Why do you treat him so well even though both of you are not related at all?"
Let's see how this tramp will respond!
Helian Jiao Er's objective was clear as day.
The few noble ladies who had been bullied by Yun Biluo followed suit and began taunting, "Princess consort, you bring serious disgrace to your title."
"The entire academy was fine until someone came and sullied the peace. That person is so indiscreet in her private life, I wonder how she even passed the selection process."
"Needless to say, she has many tricks up her sleeves."
Helian Wei Wei crossed her arms and scanned over them silently.
"Elder Sister, I really wanted to believe in you," Helian Jiao Er continued with feigned earnestness, "However, everyone saw the things you did. His Highness may be oblivious for now, but surely you are aware of the consequences when he finds out eventually?"
The Little Seventh Prince tightly furrowed his bushy eyebrows. He glanced at his Third Brother who seemed indifferent, and then at Helian Jiao Er, who was still ranting on endlessly.
A thought came to his mind.
This woman is as good as dead!
As expected, Bali Jia Jue slowly began in his deep and rich voice, "I do wonder what the consequences could possibly be."
Helian Jiao Er could not help but be dazed by Baili Jia Jue's ethereal pulchritude and his devilish smile. "Young master, I can empathize with your dilemma. If you are in urgent need of money, the General's residence is willing to aid. However, you must be aware that the person you befriended is an engaged lady."
"Oh?" Baili Jia Jue smiled faintly while his expression was indecipherably mysterious. "I wasn't aware that the young ladies from General's residence usually dismiss others with mere wealth."
Helian Jiao Er's tone dampened slightly as she realized that there was something odd, "I am merely warning to stop you from going astray. If this is how you interpret my goodwill, I believe there is no need to further our discussion. I pray you will not come to regret what you have just said. After all, the General's residence has its dignity."
"Are you perhaps trying to oppress me with your status?" The corners of Bali Jia Jue's mouth raised slightly. Then, he glanced at the little one standing nearby.
The little one had shouldered the snake's head and walked over.
Then, he raised his head.
"Third Brother."
His voice sounded a little meek.
However, to Helian Jiao Er, it sounded like a roar of thunder cracking directly above her head.
Her face paled instantly!
The students turned their bewildered eyes toward Baili Jia Jue. Even the teachers were deeply shaken by this address.
A student from the Inferior Compound.
An outsider who could not even afford tuition fees.
He was actually the famed, unparalleled Third Prince?
What is actually happening?
The teacher began to feel a little dizzy.
Some students felt their blood boiling under their skin.
However, the excitement was overflowing from the faces of the students from the Inferior Compound!
No wonder the man they idolized was so impressive.
He managed to astound the entire White Academy with a single move.
It was because he was none other than the highly admired Third Prince himself!
In stark contrast, the students from the Superior Compound were stricken dumb!
Each of them broke into a cold sweat when they recalled the countless occasions they tried bullying him.
We even taunted him for a challenge letter!
Thank goodness… thank goodness he never granted us with the slightest bit of attention!
He never even bothered reading our challenge letters!
Or else…
The students from the Superior Compound grew increasingly pale as they dwelled on the thoughts further.
It was mainly the noble ladies who began to panic. Almost every one of them had mocked Bali Jia Jue's status. They were jealous of his sole attention to Helian Wei Wei, ignoring them completely.
However, all they could do now was to slap themselves in the face!
Helian Jiao Er felt restless and fervently tried to explain herself, desperation written all over her face. "Third… Third Prince, just now, I…"
Chapter 327 - His Highness' Methods
"You wanted to oppress me with your status, I heard you loud and clear." Baili Jia Jue's apathetic tone was imposing and impossible to defy. "Also, who were you referring to as profligate and unchaste?"
As he finished his question, he raised his long, narrow eyes, permeating with ice-cold intimidation.
Helian Jiao Er froze in fear. She had never seen the Third Prince's appearance as a grown-up.
She barely recovered from the incident when she merely saw his back in the palace many years ago.
Now, she could finally witness his true appearance, but she dared not even have a peek.
She glanced repeatedly at Yun Biluo, hoping that she would plead for her mercy.
Mother once told me, the Third Prince will surely take heed to anything that Yun Biluo says!
Unbeknownst to Helian Jiao Er, the 'Golden Card of Immunity' she supposedly wielded had been chased away by Baili Jia Jue just moments ago.
Meanwhile, Murong Changfeng who was hurrying over fr
Chapter 328 - His Highness Was Really, Really Extremely Powerful
After knowing the truth, Helian Jiao Er was totally paralyzed on the ground.
It was an ending that she did not expect at all.
Her mother's guess was all incorrect.
His Highness would not be affected by anyone.
It was still the same even though Yun Biluo was here.
Similarly, Murong Changfeng was not able to respond to the truth, as if he could already witness that their big plan for years had collapsed in a second.
Either his father or his aunt, they both underestimated Baili
Jia Jue...
Helplessly, Yun Biluo bit her thin lips as she looked at the Shadow who was standing at the side.
The Shadow did not dare to speak at this moment.
However, even though he said nothing, Baili Jia Jue would not forgive him easily. Baili Jia Jue tapped on the Shadow's face gently with his hand, what a good looking and devilish appearance. "Shadow, how long have you been by my side? You have just messed up the task that I assigned to you, and what did I tell you? You need to report to me immediately if someone meets with the princess consort. Why was this time an exception? It seems like my means are not being applied properly."
Hearing those words, the Shadow turned utterly pale. "Your Highness, listen to me. I did not know that Lady Yun went to meet the princess consort..."
"Then what do you know?" Baili Jia Jue pinched his throat suddenly. All of the shadow guards were shocked by the strength and coldness of Baili Jia Jue.
The Shadow was in pain, but he realized that he had been too arrogant, "Your Highness, it was all my fault."
"Shadow. " Baili Jia Jue retreated his hand and emotionlessly said to the Shadow, "I am giving you the last chance to settle this. Otherwise, all of you will stay underground and don't even think of getting out for the rest of your life."
After the words were spoken, not only the shadow guards, even the death knights had their expressions changed!
All of them lowered their heads, they dared not disrespect Helian Wei Wei ever again!
"Your Highness, if you do not like me disturbing Miss Wei Wei, I will not do that anymore. If I knew that getting to know her would cause Your Highness to be upset, I would not have done it in the first place."
As she spoke, Yun Biluo tried to grab Baili Jia Jue's sleeve nervously. Her pretty eyes could not help but shine with light crystals, showing a sense of unconcealable fragility and misery.
Baili Jia Jue stopped, lifted his gaze to look at her and spoke emotionlessly, "Then, get out of my sight, don't play tricks before my eyes."
Hearing those words, Yun Biluo's expression became paler. Although his tone was light, she could not bear to look at his gaze that was icy cold. Timidly, she explained, "I just wanted to meet…"
However, Baili Jia Jue did not have the intention to speak to her at all. His tall and straight body just went past her...
Yun Biluo gave out a sob as if she was wronged, her pale and fragile little face could not help but attract compassion from others.
Helian Wei Wei was unable to move, but she could still hear. She raised her brows as she stared at Baili Jia Jue who was approaching her. She did not say anything, as her abdomen was tremendously painful.
She was in so much pain that she only had one question throughout the entire time.
Was the scene caused by the Third Prince today in an effort to take revenge for her?
But, it was the first time that she had heard so many words from him.
His each and every sentence was more hurting than her inflicting pain using her hands.
At least, she could not make a person cry only with words.
But... was Yun Biluo not the one he treasured the most?
Was hatred born because of love?
Helian Wei Wei raised her brows again.
"Shadow. " Baili Jia Jue paced until he was in front of Helian Wei Wei. With his eyes still on her, he gave instructions to the man beside him, "You deal with the aftermath, I still have important matters to discuss with the princess consort."
Helian Wei Wei, ...discuss, discuss what?
"You have the guts to meet and then part with me as you wish, but now you don't even dare to look at me?" The man's voice echoed in her ears.
"Have I ever told you before that your tiny little wee brain is totally useless." There was irony in his tone.
Helian Wei Wei only replied to him with a soft hum. It was not the first time anyway that he had mocked her intelligence.
"When other people were here to steal away your man, where did your fearless and valiant attitude go?" At this moment, Baili Jia Jue's graceful voice sounded a little weird.
Her man?
"I thought you were popular because of your c.o.c.kiness and could defeat all of the enemies in the universe?" Baili Jia Jue reached out his hand and lifted her chin.
Helian Wei Wei felt that it was her time to be proud. Confidently, she replied, "Those were names given by others."
As she finished her words, she felt that Baili Jia Jue's gaze was icier than before.
After thinking for a while, she added, "In fact, I am like that, of course, I would never allow anyone to take away my belongings, so I have already returned all the favors. Lady Yun did not have a great time dealing with me too."
She just needed to speak the truth anyway, so she did.
As he spoke, his gaze lightly swept across the crowd.
Just a few moments ago, they had witnessed the legendary tactics of the Third Prince.
So, not one person had the courage to lift his or her head.
Shadow stayed to settle things, whereas the rest of them were abnormally well-behaved.
Qing Zhan was standing at the side all the time and there was nothing but surprise in his heart.
It was the very first time that she had seen His Highness standing up for someone in front of the public.
Moreover, it looked like he had come specially to help the princess consort out?
Anyhow, the students in the academy were finally well-mannered now.
On the other hand, the masters from all courtyards wanted to meet with Baili Jia Jue, alone.
Only then they realized that the examination on summoning the mystical beast was still ongoing.
But undeniably, Helian Wei Wei who was able to summon the dragon god already became the ultimate winner.
The dragon god was hovering above the Inferior Compound, with meaningful eyes.
Unreasonably, it had a constant feeling that the man inside felt familiar.
This familiar feeling was bothering it a lot...
However, it knew that if it continued to fly around like that, it would bring trouble to Helian Wei Wei. So, it might as well went into the lake first, and waited for the crowd to subside.
After being held down for such a long time, it needed to recover its power too...
In the room.
With sweat on her forehead, Helian Wei Wei was holding onto the blanket tightly. She looked up at Baili Jia Jue who had cornered her, not understanding his real intention...
Chapter 329 - His Highness Treated Wei Wei Well
Helian Wei Wei glanced at her left arm which was being held down by him, "If my reason is convincing enough, will you release me?"
"So you really have the intention to leave me." Baili Jia Jue's slightly narrowed eyes deepened all of a sudden. Just by looking at the depth gathered within his eyes, Helian Wei Wei felt slightly restless. She took her eyes off Baili Jia Jue unconsciously.
"Look at me and tell me, what your thoughts are."
There was a sense of restrained unpleasantness in his deep voice. All of a sudden, the hand that was surrounding her waist tightened its grasp!
The strength was so forceful that it made Helian Wei Wei feel a slight pain around her waist. She could not help but frown, and replied emotionlessly, "I admit that I did think of leaving you because I was not sure that the agreement you signed was either intended to appease the Retired Emperor, or you wanted me to be your shield from Yun Biluo. I could somewhat understand if it was the former. But if it was the latter, then I would need to reconsider my future and find another way for myself."
"You are not a shield." Baili Jia Jue lowered his head and stared into her black pupils. His emotion was complicated, but he did not hide from Helian Wei Wei. "You are my prey, the prey that appeals to me the most."
With her head throbbing in pain, Helian Wei Wei gave her abdomen a rub, "Yeah, I know this." He would lock her up as he liked; it was obvious that he had taken her as his prey. Besi
des, right from the very beginning, this man had treated her like he was hunting and had wanted to get to her by all means.
"Does my prey need to be anyone's shield?" Baili Jia Jue asked politely.
Helian Wei Wei was speechless in front of a person in such a courteous manner.
However, it only lasted for a while, just then, Helian Wei Wei seemed to apprehend some kind of information. Without blinking her eyes, she stared into Baili Jia Jue's eyes, "How many preys do you have, Your Highness?"
"Two." Baili Jia Jue felt that she was just trying to switch the subject, so he scowled as he answered.
With some complications in her eyes, Helian Wei Wei asked, "One is me? The other one is Fire Qilin?"
"Yes." Baili Jia Jue curved his thin lips, as if he was smiling but actually not. "Are you trying to talk about this now so that I don't punish you right away?"
Helian Wei Wei continued to stare at him until Baili Jia Jue's thin lips formed a straight line.
Then, she asked again, "How about Yun Biluo? Why did you not keep her as your prey?"
"Do you think that anyone out there can be my prey?" Baili Jia Jue replied with a cold tone, as he was unhappy that she kept asking about some trivial matters.
After Helian Wei Wei heard what he said, she was suddenly stunned.
However, she did not expect that this would be the one.
Besides the Fire Qilin and it was her...
"Baili Jia Jue, you have never liked anyone before, haven't you?" With her exhausted body, Helian Wei Wei asked another question.
Finally, Baili Jia Jue opened his mouth and he replied with slight mockery, "Like? No."
No wonder your emotional intelligence was so low, Helian Wei Wei gave out a long sigh. It seemed like she had found out unintentionally about some hidden secrets.
Then it was most probably because His Highness had treated her slightly different from others.
Although such thought was narcissistic, she could only apprehend it that way.
Helian Wei Wei was previously involved in a case, whereby the serial killer was equipped with the same mentality. The ones he favored would be his prey.
