The Anarchic Consort c1-1376

by Warring Young Seven

  How much pain was its Master in, being surrounded by the Light of Buddha?

  At that moment, Fire Qilin was seriously in fear. It was afraid that its Master would disintegrate again. How many centuries would it need to wait to meet Master once again?

  "It's done." Jing Wushuang looked at the Light of Buddha and closed his eyes, feeling relieved.

  Without warning, he spread the huge wings on his back and braced the Light of Buddha.

  The black feathers that symbolized evil, darkness and selfishness started falling one after another.

  The song of demons started to play, rising slowly with his wings, as though it could embrace all the stars in the sky.

  He looked at the bloodstain on his hands and licked it with his tongue, revealing an evil smile on the corners of his mouth.

  Jing Wushuang's pupils constricted in disbelief!

  However, Baili Jia Jue had no interest in him. Instead, he was looking at the coffin nearby. The color of his eyes was changing to bloody red until no more black was left to be seen in his pupils. Even the whites of his eyes were quickly covered with intertwining streaks of blood, looking like two complicated blood-red totems.

  Even his body was emanating a dark and evil aura, like a phantom in an old castle, elegant yet creepy and full of hatred.

  "This is bad!" Fire Qilin suddenly stood up. The master's soul fragments were incomplete. He would definitely go mad, turning brutal and merciless!

  Does this mean the only human here, Helian Wei Wei will be in grave danger?

  So the first person Master will suck dry is…

  "Master! You cannot do that!" Fire Qilin growled. "If you suck her dry, you will regret it!"

  Baili Jia Jue did not turn around. It seemed as though he did not hear anything Fire Qilin had said as he walked toward the coffin slowly.

  He looked at Helian Wei Wei, the corners of his mouth curving up slightly. Green and red veins emerged on her gorgeous face, like colorful vines intertwining on her pale cheeks. "Such a beautiful soul."

  The formation was thoroughly ruined!

  There was only the smell of blood left behind. The strong sweet scent spread around the nose and hit the brain, teasing each fragile nerve.

  The idea of devouring something made him lose his mind. That feeling cannot be put into words. It was much worse than human starving!

  All of a sudden, he picked Helian Wei Wei up in a bridal style!

  Helian Wei Wei was surrounded by dark fog and could not see anything. She sensed his cold fingers curling around her waist, consoling her emotions with his signature coolness.

  Chapter 574 - My Instinct Is To Protect You

  Helian Wei Wei moved her fingers slightly in the dark.

  No! She could not just sink into the water without trying to save herself.

  The silhouette's expression darkened as it felt rejected, "What more do you want to do? Whatever you do is useless, you will never get to return even if you destroy this magic formation, unless you agree to be my shadow."

  "Be your shadow?" Helian Wei Wei widened her eyes like the brightest star in the sky shining with cold light. She spoke icily, "Why should I?"

  No one could be the master of her destiny, she is who she is!

  While speaking, Helian Wei Wei straightened her body and stood upright in the middle of the river, her long sleeves swaying. Countless whirlpools swirled around her feet, rolling up layers upon layers of waves. Her long hair fluttered around, as if it was flying in the sky.

  Then, she shook her sleeves and, with her pale left hand, cleaved the river apart with enough strength to control the world.

  Boom!

  The silhouette shuddered, watching as the body moved away from it, its eyes shaking in disbelief.

  How was she… How was she able to resist the power of the Exorcising Tribe?!

  That was obviously the dharma character shown by the disciple of Buddha many years ago when he went into the Sea of Blood to intervene for the demon souls!

  Who exactly was this woman?!

  The silhouette's pale face was engulfed by the stormy waves, as though something had broken in the river and made a big splash. Then, the tide receded, putting out the fire.

  Baili Jia Jue, who was just about to devour his meal, paused for a moment. His long, narrow and unconcerned eyes were looking down at the little thing in his arms.

  Without knowing why, he wanted to see what she looked like when she opened her eyes.

  Would it not be tastier to suck her blood while she is awake?

  He never liked dead food.

  But compared to his dislike, he instinctively felt reluctant to end her life, as if that would make him feel an unprecedented emptiness...

  However, his throat was so dry that it felt like it was tearing up. Even the corners of his mouth were filled with veins that symbolized sin. Those were the symptoms of turning absolutely evil!

  "That smell just now, it really was you..." Helian Wei Wei was still weak, and she frowned immediately after opening her eyes, "What's wrong with you, Baili Jia Jue?"

  Yuan Ming jumped out from the Fantasy Space and shouted anxiously, "Wei Wei, get away from him! He is turning into a demon!"

  "Turning into a demon?" Helian Wei Wei looked at the overly handsome face of the man in front of her, then turned to look at his fingers, which were bleeding non-stop. It did not matter if he was turning into a demon or not, she immediately lifted his injured hand, "Your hand!"

  Baili Jia Jue froze. Did this little thing really had no idea that he was about to suck her blood dry?

  How could she still worry about his hand?

  Ha, humans, dumb as expected.

  Just when this thought came into Baili Jia Jue's mind.

  Helian Wei Wei kissed his fingers, mumbling, "Let me stop the bleeding and sterilize this."

  Baili Jia Jue felt a shock in his c.h.e.s.t. He stared at the small face before him, the heat from her body flowing deep into his heart...

  "Wei Wei," he said, frowning a little. He did not even know why he uttered this name.

  He was sitting on the throne with a crowd of demons dancing at his feet.

  He was killing demons and Buddha, unwilling to surrender and convert.

  Dusk came after a series of disasters and deaths of Gods. Then, he was surrounded by chaos, eventually falling from the sky.

  Nevertheless, all those things were just boring tricks to him.

  The last image that froze in his mind was of her picking pastries for him with her head lowered...

  His sharp nails plunged into his palms, blood streaming into the closely-woven splits on his long robe.

  "Stay... Stay away from me."

  He pushed Helian Wei Wei away, his messy dark hair falling, black fingertips trembling violently, as though the shivering could keep the unstoppable d.e.s.i.r.e of s.u.c.k.i.n.g blood away.

  Something attacked him from behind; it was the counterforce from the Divine Seal. The Light of Buddha had turned into a golden beam, intending to take advantage of Baili Jia Jue's confusion and weakness to destroy him and turn him into smoke and ashes!

  However, at this moment, the demon blood suddenly boiled in Baili Jia Jue. He raised his arm and seized Helian Wei Wei's jaw.

  His lips opened and closed, the blood traces starting to glow red on his face. Like enchanted flowers blooming on his face, his handsomeness and evilness were incomparable with the world.

  Then, he punched the earth next to Helian Wei Wei, and several crevices cracked through the ground immediately.

  No matter how vulgar the actions of a true noble was, his innate elegance shone through without the need to purposely control his etiquette and pay attention to the details, because all these intangible things had become a part of him after 1,000 years.

  Baili Jia Jue supported his body with his right hand, while the other hand was pressed into his eyes. Drops of blood slipped through his fingers as he injured himself on purpose to maintain whatever was left of his c
onsciousness.

  Yet, he still could not resist the instinct to turn into a demon!

  Baili Jia Jue narrowed his scarlet pupils. With a loud noise, the bright Soul Changing Lamps fell from both sides of the wall onto the ground, shattering into flower petals.

  At that moment, Fire Qilin flew up suddenly, enduring the pain of being impaled by the Light of Buddha as it wanted to restore Baili Jia Jue to his own true nature.

  But everything was too late.

  I must not hurt her, I will never hurt her!

  With the last trace of scarlet in his narrow eyes, Baili Jia Jue suddenly picked up a leftover piece of sword light from the seal in his hands, and stabbed himself ruthlessly.

  The sharp blade penetrated his left shoulder, cutting through his robe, and pierced into his sphenoid.

  Blood flowed into Helian Wei Wei's eyes in an instant.

  Everything happened so quickly that she was unable to react.

  The man in front of her fell backwards, his black robe rising into countless black feathers. The blackness on his fingertips disappeared, returning to its initial translucent color. His elegant yet cool and handsome face, with its evil charm, was like the Devil's Snare that bloomed at midnight, exuding such tempting beauty.

  Blood soaked his black abstinent-like holy robe, but due to the gown's dark color, the blood stain did not look obvious. Yet, Helian Wei Wei knew that he stabbed himself very deeply.

  Helian Wei Wei did not know how to react. All that was left of her calmness were shivers, but still she tried her best to press on his wound to stop the bleeding. This was the first time in her life she understood what being fl.u.s.tered felt like.

  The light of Divine Exorcism Seal faded, and Fire Qilin flew over hurriedly. Looking at Baili Jia Jue's injury, its eyes shook, and it immediately took action. It wanted to put the soul fragments back into Baili Jia Jue's body. However, those soul fragments seemed to be blocked by something and were unable to enter...

  Chapter 575 - Finding Back His Souls

  "Master." Balancing a bottle gourd over his head, the little one saw the scene unfold from afar. He reached his hand for Jing Wushuang's sleeve.

  Jing Wushuang never thought that his spell would fail. He coughed hard into his palm and when he opened it, and it was splattered with blood.

  "Master!" The little one could not bear the sight any longer and pulled Jing Wushuang into the river.

  Jing Wushuang curled his lips up in a smile, though it looked more like a desolate grimace.

  While he was in the water, he lifted up his arm, covering his eyes.

  The little one comforted him by his side, "Don't be upset, Master. There is always a next time, you will surely succeed on the next try."

  Jing Wushuang did not reply. Seeing Helian Wei Wei like that, he did not understand why but he started to feel a slight pain beginning to grow in his c.h.e.s.t.

  "Master," the little one put his hand on his forehead, "Lets go, whilst they are still occupied..."

  But the results were still the same as before!

  Sure enough, incomplete Soul Fragments just could not form a complete spirit!

  "Feed him blood." Yuan Ming who remained silent at first, sighed and said when he saw Helian Wei Wei's red rimmed eyes, "He'll need a lot of blood, and even so this would be just enough to keep his spirit and life force stable. There's no guarantee that he will wake up. Since he had pierced himself too hard this time, he might even accidentally suck you dry if you're not careful."

  Hearing Yuan Ming's words, Helian Wei Wei took out her dagger and cut her wrist without a single hint of hesitation.

  Drops of fresh blood dyed Baili Jia Jue's lips red. Those Soul Fragments finally floated around Baili Jia Jue instead of fading away.

  Seeing how Helian Wei Wei's face was drained paler, Yuan Ming said, "Enough! You had just gotten out of a spell yourself, your energy is very much limited!"

  "I know my own body, look after him for me." At least Helian Wei Wei's voice had stopped trembling. She made Baili Jia Jue lay down on her l.a.p before looking down at him.

  The Soul Fragments reacted, blooming into blood-red flames, lighting up Baili Jia Jue and his surroundings.

  Looking at this, Yuan Ming squinted his eyes, "Wei Wei, just stop first."

  "I will when he's back," Helian Wei Wei said in a soft but unsettlingly stubborn tone.

  Yuan Ming stared at her and frowned, "Do you know what will happen if he wakes up now with some of his souls still missing? He will turn into a demon completely, so don't expect any common sense from him when that happens."

  "Even if he becomes a demon, I still want him to be back." Helian Wei Wei looked upward with her bloody eyes, showing a stern determination in her.

  Yuan Ming was stunned. Then he grinned nefariously, "You are really… Well then, you may try. You should discuss with Fire Qilin to bring back at least three of his souls in order to wake him up. Fire Qilin should know everything about him since that's its Master."

  "True, I do know my Master well." Fire Qilin lowered its gaze, "but it is not that easy to gather his souls. Previously, we would only need to to collect the soul fragments, synthesize them together and return them into Master's body. Now, we even need to confront those lost souls and persuade them to follow the Princess Consort back willingly. But each and every one of those souls are a piece of Master himself. Moreover, Master hadn't even met you back at those times, Princess Consort, how could he trust you?"

  Helian Wei Wei ran her fingers across the side of Baili Jia Jue's cold face. Then, in a low voice, she said, "I have to try. While for the trust issue, that is something which I have to handle. All you have to do is to tell me the way."

  Fire Qilin lifted its head up to look at Helian Wei Wei, and steadied its steps, "We are only left with this solution now. I will use my will to send you to where Master's three souls are. Even I don't know where they are, so you have to ensure your own safety and come back within 47 days, otherwise Master's body will lose its life force completely. I will stay with Master during these 47 days to prevent his spirit flames from burning out and to block out all those demons who plan to open Master's seal. The Capital is so peaceful because of Master. Now that Master's life force and presence is weaker, there will be larger leakage shown in the already fragile barrier, and more demons will enter the Capital. Master's shell is a holy grail for those demons to become stronger, so Green Dragon and I will protect it together. After you leave, I will keep Master's body safe at the bottom of Green Dragon Lake in the White Academy immediately until you return with all three of Master's souls."

  "Alright," Helian Wei Wei answered while biting off her sleeve. She then wrapped it around her wrist like a bandage.

  Fire Qilin stared at her with its eyes wavering, "I'm sure that the three souls are in different places. After each soul has agreed to come with you, you will be sent directly to the next one. In case you fail, break this red string with your teeth and you will be sent back immediately."

  Helian Wei Wei glanced at the red string and tied it onto her wrist. Her cold gaze would only change slightly when she was looking at Baili Jia Jue.

  Fire Qilin continued, "You'll have to go alone this time. As soon as you reach there, your messenger of the demon and mythological beast by your side will disappear. So you have to be careful at all times."

  "Understood." Helian Wei Wei put down her long sleeve, with blood still smearing the corner of her eyes.

  Seeing her like this, Fire Qilin added, "There's one more thing you need to take note of."

  "What is it?" Helian Wei Wei listened closely.

  Fire Qilin lowered its voice, "When you reach those places, Master might seduce you to keep you in his world. You must remember that those are not the complete Master. Once you agree to stay, Master will never wake up again, even the place that you went to will no longer exist."

  Hearing this, Helian Wei Wei was stunned for a bit, "I understand."

  "You must remember this, Princess
Consort," Fire Qilin repeated. Then it said, "Also, the places you are going… cannot possibly all be rainbows and flowers, according to his thoughts, he…"

  Before Fire Qilin could finish, Helian Wei Wei continued its words, "According to his thoughts, his souls will be in different stages too, right?"

  "Mhhm." Fire Qilin was at least a bit more relieved, "Since Princess Consort is aware of that, that makes things easier. What I wanted to say was that Master might show different personalities, by then... "

  Helian Wei Wei replied, "I will handle that when the time comes." He liked it when she brushed his hair, and his pastel lips would turn into a line when he saw dishes that he disliked. To Helian Wei Wei, those were all his personalities that made him Baili Jia Jue.

  "Besides..." Fire Qilin cleared its throat, "Master has a bad habit..."

  Chapter 576 - Send Me To Where He Is

  "He is usually harsh on what he's interested in and he's passionate about giving training."

  The use of the term 'training' was a nice way to go about it. Its Master's soul fragment would be more insane as compared to his completed soul… It did not know how the Princess Consort would be treated by its Master by then.

  Helian Wei Wei gazed at Fire Qilin and smiled, "Qilin, what are you worrying about? If he is really interested in me, doesn't that mean that I'll be able to approach him faster and easier?"

  Fire Qilin was stunned, it was not expecting such an answer. Its eyes shook with surprise and it laughed, "The way Princess Consort treats Master is extraordinary. We should get prepared now and send you there as soon as possible."

  "Wait." Helian Wei Wei turned and summoned Whitey with a low voice, "Whitey, when I'm not around, please find out the person who casted this magic circle today. I have a feeling that things are not that simple."

  "The Princess Consort is right." Fire Qilin nodded, "This kind of magic circle must have been casted by the Exorcising Tribe. When your soul leaves your body, someone else might plan a scheme on you, Princess Consort. The palace is not safe anymore. I will send you and His Highness to the Green Dragon Lake. It is time for the Green Dragon to know the situation that Master is in as well…"
