The Anarchic Consort c1-1376

by Warring Young Seven

  Helian Wei Wei leaned against the cage and got distracted by the sight of the Pandemonium.

  "Look, Sister Ni. Some people are so easily contented. She can sleep comfortably even in a cage. She is such a shameless woman," Xiao Kui said with a disgusted tone.

  Finding it hilarious, Helian Wei Wei watched as Xiao Kui spoke. She casually picked up a piece of cake and placed it inside her mouth, completely ignoring Xiao Kui's presence.

  Considering Helian Wei Wei as an average looking girl, Xiao Kui was annoyed by Helian Wei Wei's haughty attitude. If the magical beast did not bring her back, she was not even qualified to be an offering. Xiao Kui was infuriated when Helian Wei Wei treated her with no respect because, in Xiao Kui's opinion, Helian Wei Wei was a completely worthless woman!

  "Xiao Kui, what did I tell you during our journey here?" Ni Feng seemed irritated as she turned to reprimand Xiao Kui, "We have to always be polite to others."

  Xiao Kui continued to gaze at Helian Wei Wei scornfully, but she altered her tone to speak to Helian Wei Wei in a respectful manner, "Sister Ni is here to visit you out of the kindness of the heart. If you give up your inconceivable plan, we can ask His Highness to spare your life and let you go. Now, Sister Ni and I have been arranged to stay in the palace. You should be able to understand the difference between you and Sister Ni in His Highness' eyes by now. Sister Ni has previously saved His Highness and His Highness has since been caring for her dearly. I advise you to make a sensible decision and back off before things turn ugly."

  Indeed, Helian Wei Wei was not on familiar terms with Baili Jia Jue anymore.

  Her heart wrenched as she listened to Xiao Kui's words.

  She was not disheartened by Xiao Kui's statement. However, it broke her heart as she understood that it was a human's nature to cherish his or her savior...

  She continued, "I reckon that you haven't heard about the news. Sister Ni is the only woman who has been chosen by His Highness as a human sacrifice. Being a descendant of the Exorcising Tribe, she was born in a noble family and makes an ideal match for His Highness. But, you? You're only a thick-skinned woman who is good for nothing."

  She's a descendant of the Exorcising Tribe? Helian Wei Wei narrowed her eyes. She remembered clearly what Yuan Ming told her back in the White Academy. It was a lady of the Exorcising Tribe who annihilated the primordial spirit of the king who used to rule all the demons, causing it to vanish from the world...

  Chapter 584 - Sick Of Her?

  Helian Wei Wei lowered her gaze.

  Even though she did not want to admit it, she definitely got herself a love rival.

  Is it Sister Ni? The descendant of the Exorcising Tribe?

  Could it be that she is Ni Feng?

  Helian Wei Wei tilted her head to one side and laid her sight on the girl in pink once more.

  If she is, then everything would make sense.

  No wonder Yuan Ming kept mentioning that she felt something was wrong with the soul inside of her.

  It turned out that the one who had always wanted to reclaim her body was not the Helian Wei Wei from the past.

  In fact, it was Ni Feng who had hid in Helian Wei Wei's body, waiting for the right time to take over f.o.r.c.i.b.l.y.

  Ni Feng wanted to return to the human world, not only to prevent the Divine Exorcism Seal from being destroyed but also, she still had lingering feelings for His Highness.

  She was clear of one thing - things were getting more complicated, and she needed to solve the matter as soon as possible; she had to bring His Highness home.

  Ni Feng saw that Helian Wei Wei was quiet, so she tried to break the silence, shifting her gaze to her, "I don't think that you would want to be locked up in this way either, do you?"

  "Who says I don't?" Helian Wei Wei pouted. "Food and drinks are served, so it's not bad to stay."

  Ni Feng laughed, "The only reason you can eat and drink now is due to the fact that it requires time for the demons to nurture the souls. When he loses his interest in you, and when the time comes, you can say goodbye to your life. He is quite impatient when dealing with humans."

  Ni Feng's description matched exactly with Helian Wei Wei's current situation.

  She was indeed intelligent, and she spoke without the slightest panic in her voice, "If you really wish to leave, I can lend you a hand, at least I am able to keep you alive and help send you back to the human world in one piece. If you decide to stay, I can't guarantee that I'm always by your side. The Exorcising Tribe leaves no man behind, but we can't lose sight of our goal for your life only. Give it a thought, and let me know what you decide tomorrow."

  "No need, I can give you an answer right now," Heian Wei Wei stood up, showing off her slender body, while her lips revealed a faint smile as she looked at Ni Feng, "I'm not leaving."

  Upon hearing this, Ni Feng frowned; she had never met such an uncooperative person.

  Xiao Kui lost her cool immediately. "I told you so, Sister Ni. This woman has no shame, she just plans to take your place as queen. Tell me, is anyone not aware that the person chosen by the king is to become his future wife? You're shameless!"

  A noise interrupted her.

  Xiao Kui looked straight at the paper-thin silver knife that left a scratch across her face, the immense pain that shot through her made her explode in wrath!

  "You woman, how dare you attack me!"

  Helian Wei Wei toyed with the silver knife in her hand, and with a faint smile on her face she said, "What's the big deal about attacking you?"

  "You!" Xiao Kui was boiling inside, preparing to pounce on her!

  Ni Feng stopped her single-handedly, then she turned around to face Helian Wei Wei, stating, "His Highness will never choose you to be his queen."

  "I have no interest in becoming queen whatsoever." Helian Wei Wei's tone was laid back, "You don't need to remind me repeatedly."

  Ni Feng pouted, "It seems that you still don't plan to stay."

  Helian Wei Wei's eyes were fixed on Ni Feng as she tried to figure out what was on her mind. She did not want Ni Feng to be in her way. Time was ticking, she could not waste more of her time on these insignificant matters. The corner of her lips curled slightly as she replied playfully, "Of course."

  As she said that, Ni Feng's eyes widened. Her gaze immediately shifted to the figure behind Helian Wei Wei, "Your Highness…"

  Helian Wei Wei shivered, she could clearly sense the chill coming from behind her - that coldness, which made her heart tremble.

  Baili Jia Jue wore a fur coat that covered his arms. The fur was made from high-quality fox fur, and it had excellent warming property.

  When he first laid eyes on the fur coat, he immediately thought of the prey that he had just caught.

  She would definitely like it if it was on her.

  He knew just by looking that she was fond of anything that was costly.

  She should be happy when she sees this fur coat.

  Everyone who got close to him more or less wanted to gain certain benefits.

  However, there was something about her that he did not understand.

  He knew that she woke up during the night due to the unbearable cold. He thought she was going to loosen her hand on him, but he did not expect her to cling onto him and sleep through that entire night.

  He understood the ridiculous humiliation of humanity, especially in women. In order to not hurt her feelings, he decided that it was best to not call out on the little prey's behavior.

  He claimed himself as a competent person but she never once thought of staying by his side.

  Sigh, such irony.

  Baili Jia Jue c.o.c.ked his head to one side as the surrounding temperature dropped all of a sudden, enveloping them in the cold!

  Helian Wei Wei knew that he had heard everything, including the things she said. Judging from his personality, he would probably not be very happy after hearing all of that; worse, he might even ignore her forever.

  No matter what she must clear this up
!

  Helian Wei Wei took a deep breath as she turned her head back slowly.

  Baili Jia Jue was standing behind her, his gaze had no warmth, like a formless blade of ice piercing through her heart.

  "You…" Helian Wei Wei wanted to ask him for a chance to explain herself.

  Baili Jia Jue obviously did not want to listen to her explanation. He moved his gaze away from her, every word that was uttered later on carried a hint of coldness, "Qilin, since when does a prey have the right to appear in the Hall of Light? Hmm?"

  Fire Qilin thought to itself. It was you who was worried that the new pet would get bored, and so you allowed her out for a change of air! Because of this, he and the Green Dragon got very jealous! When he was raising them, he had never let them out for a breath of fresh air, as having food was the best thing they could even ask for!

  But now Fire Qilin had no courage to further enrage his master, he immediately bowed his head and apologized, "It's my fault, I shouldn't have brought the cage here, I will bring it back immediately."

  Baili Jia Jue did not speak, he was currently lost in thought.

  Helian Wei Wei felt the cage underneath her feet moved. She knew that if she did not fend for herself at this moment, she might not have the chance again. As she started to open her mouth, a black mist appeared behind him out of nowhere!

  She did not manage to warn him in time.

  Someone had already pounced from behind, blocking Baili Jia Jue. The person's fingers were pressing on her bleeding abdomen as that small face of hers turned paler within seconds.

  It was Ni Feng…

  She lifted her tiny face as if all she could see was Baili Jia Jue. "Are you all right?"

  Fire Qilin instantly transformed. It lifted its leg, planning to stomp the black-clothed man to death using its claw.

  "Keep him alive." Baili Jie Jue laid down his order, his eyes had completely lost its warmth as he shifted his gaze to Ni Feng once more.

  Ni Feng managed a faint smile as she directed her gaze toward him.

  Helian Wei Wei felt as though her strength seeped away when she saw this scene. She mockingly looked at the chains that she had just gotten out of...

  Chapter 585 - One Step Behind

  After all, she had acted too slow.

  Or perhaps someone else had acted too fast?

  Even at this time, Helian Wei Wei was still rational. However, she also found herself not being as strong as what she had thought.

  Looking at Ni Feng who was being escorted into the inner chamber by a huge crowd, Baili Jia Jue walked away.

  Helian Wei Wei wanted to go after him. She was no longer trying to defend herself. All she wanted was to tell Baili Jia Jue to be careful.

  Ni Feng threw herself over him as soon as the black mist rose!

  This was simply impossible from the aspect of time!

  Unless Ni Feng had known that someone would appear behind Baili Jia Jue!

  Helian Wei Wei had no idea why her thoughts became clearer in a time like this.

  Probably because she had known of the whole story since the beginning. Otherwise, she would not have found this suspicious.

  Everything was planned out perfectly. It could be said to be flawless.

  This made Helian Wei Wei feel more worried. She continuously addressed him with the title King.

  Helian Wei Wei had finally gotten rid of all the locks but the cage and magical beasts that were blocking her did not intend to let her leave.

  At that moment, Helian Wei Wei clenched her fist and slammed brutally to the side as if she could only remain calm by feeling pain.

  She finally understood how it felt to be one step behind.

  That helpless feeling was something she could never change no matter how hard she worked for it.

  What could be done?

  What should she do next?

  She was already running out of time.

  What else could she do to get this Baili Jia Jue who barely knew her to leave with her?

  Helian Wei Wei was at a loss for the second time. The first was when she found out that her father was being unfaithful...

  Since she was able to pursue him back in the White Academy, she believed she could do the same here!

  It was just that her rival was smarter.

  She was a bossy president. As long as she revised on how to pursue a person later, she could definitely win over Baili Jia Jue's heart tomorrow!

  In the inner hall, Ni Feng was lying on the bed. Her face was pale and her eyes were fixed on the apathetic man who was not far away.

  Even though he did not carry her back in person, things were going her way.

  Clearly, someone would now put the blame on Helian Wei Wei.

  Everything had been sorted out.

  Ni Feng was still in pain. She grasped the comforter with her fingers. She came up with such a plan as it was her last resort.

  At first, everything was going smoothly but Helian Wei Wei came out of nowhere and thus she acted hastily.

  "Does it hurt?" The voice of the man sounded like poison mixed with honey which was extremely pleasant to the ear but fatal at the same time.

  Ni Feng could not see through his mind as his eyes were too cold and thus she only replied, "It hurts."

  He then smiled. But, there was no trace of warmth in his smile. He was only showing his etiquette before everyone.

  She once again experienced the sense of indifference the man portrayed before everyone.

  At first, she thought that his elegance could only be seen by her. However, she soon realized that it was simply a trait of him being a demon.

  He had been treating everyone like this. Just like now, he did not even touch her.

  However, as long as she could strike up a conversation with him, it was already an improvement.

  She believed that by saving him twice in a row, once accidentally and once intentionally, he could definitely not being able to forget her.

  Baili Jia Jue did not say a word. He walked out of the room and returned to the Hall of Light after leaving a lot of people to look after Ni Feng.

  Fire Qilin followed him respectfully. Upon seeing his cold eyes glancing at the previous spot, it immediately said, "Master, don't worry. There won't be any prey casually entering and leaving the Hall of Light again unless one day she willingly becomes your mount."

  Baili Jia Jue slowly looked toward it. His gaze was extremely cold! All of a sudden, the surrounding air pressure seemed to have fallen.

  Fire Qilin froze and did not dare to breathe heavily. Why did Master get angry for no reason...

  "From today onward, the portion of your dinner will be increased." Baili Jia Jue laughed.

  Fire Qilin knew him well enough to know that this was definitely not a good thing and immediately replied, "Master, I'm having a decent meal for dinner. There's no need to increase the portion. There's really no such need!"

  "You have been working so hard for me. How can I not reward you?" Baili Jia Jue spoke slowly, "It seems like you are sick of eating beef. You should change your taste. Eat 5 kg of radish every night and don't come to see me if you don't finish it. Should teach you a lesson so that you won't simply allow anyone to enter the Hall of Light..."

  Fire Qilin was rendered speechless.

  He's venting his anger on me!

  He's definitely venting his anger on me!

  In order to avoid his Master from getting angrier, Fire Qilin quietly took the fur coat which he had placed on the sandalwood table with its claw and decided to settle it in private.

  Fire Qilin straightened his waist and said, "Master, since Miss Ni is suffering from excessive blood loss from saving you, she will inevitably feel cold. This cloak looks thick and it just comes in handy."

  "You've gotten smarter." Baili Jia Jue raised the corner of his thin lips as if he was smiling.

  Fire Qilin thought it sounded like praise, somehow something did not feel right!

  "Add another 500g of radish for dinne
r," Baili Jia Jue said with a sneer on his face. He made a mirthless smile and looked toward the cloak coldly, "I'm rewarding you for being clever."

  Fire Qilin cried!

  Such a reward was unnecessary!

  Baili Jia Jue spoke again. There were no ripples in his expression, "Add a few more comforters for the injured woman."

  "Yes." Fire Qilin let out a sigh of relief. He was finally back to normal, phew...

  The incident that Ni Feng had saved Baili Jia Jue from the attack soon spread across the magical realm.

  Helian Wei Wei was not in a good situation. Perhaps all the magical beasts had gone to serve Ni Feng and thus her dinner was forgotten.

  She could hear footsteps occasionally. They were all talking about how Ni Feng who was in the inner hall was being valued.

  Helian Wei Wei looked at the wound on the back of her hand. She felt tired and her c.h.e.s.t seemed to feel tight. She was a little out of breath.

  The Pandaemonium would be extremely cold at night.

  After all, Helian Wei Wei was a human. Owing to the reason that she had skipped her dinner and her current physical condition, she eventually could not resist her body instinct. She vaguely recalled how Baili Jia Jue used to feed her and she fell asleep without realizing. She curled her body in the cage, looking like a little injured fox. She finally revealed the most vulnerable part of herself...

  Chapter 586 - She Must Be Mine

  Pit-a-pat…

  Pit-a-pat…

  Pit-a-pat…

  The sound of steadily-paced footsteps came from a distance.

  The visitor looked at Helian Wei Wei for quite a while, pursed his lips as he lowered himself and pinched her face.

  Helian Wei Wei was in a deep slumber. Moreover, the man did not reveal any sign of breath. Thus, it was understandable for her not to sense his presence.

  If it were anyone else, Helian Wei Wei would have been awakened by now.

  Upon seeing her in such a manner, the man squinted his eyes and with a wave of his hand, a pure white-colored fur coat was dr.a.p.ed over Helian Wei Wei's body.
