The Anarchic Consort c1-1376

by Warring Young Seven

  The only thing that reminded everyone about the incident was Mu Bai's cold body.

  The little one, who had been disgusted by Xuan Bing's presence for a long time, approached Xuan Bing with a meat bun in his mouth. With an arrogant face, he told the initially confident Xuan Bing, "The man who listened to you are now dead. Are you sure that the people of the Xuanyuan Kingdom know how to perform exorcisms? Is it really not a trick to do harm to others?"

  Chapter 666 - Seeking Death In Front of His Majesty

  People from the Xuanyuan Kingdom felt as if they had been humiliated when their capability was questioned by a child.

  They were further piqued when everyone else was staring at Xuan Bing with a hint of doubt in their eyes.

  Xuan Bing's face was flushed red before he waved his arms and defended himself, "That only happened because his power was below par. He failed to control the yellow rune, causing the reapers to react unusually!"

  Apparently, the exorcists from Huangzi Nation refused to accept the explanation. Two of them stood up in defiance. "What did you say?"

  Young men were always brash and assertive, especially when they tried to defend their nation's pride.

  Messenger Wang tried his best to contain the matter. He said in muffled tone, "Don't act impulsively. We have an alliance with Xuanyuan Kingdom now."

  The two exorcists clenched their fists before they turned their heads away discontentedly.

  Xuan Bing stopped speaking.

  After all, someone lost his life.

  The atmosphere within the Great Hall was no longer as lively as before.

  Soon, it was the turn of another exorcist, who hailed from another nation, to summon the reaper.

  By the look of his expression, it was apparent that he was scared out of his wits. His face turned pale while his forehead was covered in sweat. Seemingly, he had never recovered from the terrifying event.

  Nevertheless, he stood the nearest to Mu Bai just now and witnessed the scene more graphically than anyone else.

  When the reaper appeared, they were engulfed by chilling breeze, together with unpleasant memories.

  For instance, he was reminded about how he jeopardized his brother in order to acquire his master's Exorcist Sword.

  "No, I can't do this. This is too scary! I can't do it!" the exorcist from the neighboring country began to shout.

  Elder Xu Wu threw a glimpse at him and said, "You'll lose by forfeiting the game. Have you thought about it carefully? Do you have other candidates from your nation who can replace you?"

  Everybody remained silent as they exchanged looks before they finally shook their heads.

  What happened before was too petrifying.

  They were still capable of handling one reaper, but it was impossible to fight with two reapers.

  "Then, let's proceed with the next contestant, Xuan Bing!" Elder Xu Wu gazed at the center of the Great Hall and said slyly: "It's time to show them what you've got. Otherwise, certain people might continue to think that they're the right ones."

  Following Elder Xu Wu's instruction, Xuan Bing took a step forward. He sneered before he threw a glance at Helian Wei Wei. "Elder Xu Wu is right. Some people are so senseless and only know how to defame others. If I continue to stay quiet, others will probably treat me with cavalier fashion. Previously, Brother Mu Bai summoned two reapers, yet he failed to tame them. Now, I'll summon four reapers. Then, we'll find out which one of us is right!"

  "What? He wants to summon four reapers? Is it possible to do that?" The ministers were stunned by his statement as they began to debate among themselves.

  Summoning the reaper were one of the toughest skills in the Art of Exorcism. Everyone was surprised to learn that he actually wanted to summon four reapers!

  "Is he tired of living?" As Wu Jing spoke, he had not forgotten how Mu Bai, the exorcist, died. He lost his life after he summoned two reapers and failed to suppress them. Eventually, he was killed by the reapers. However, Xuan Bing was now trying to summon four reapers!

  Elder Xuan Wu raised his eyebrow. "Are you confident, Xuan Bing?"

  "To be honest, I am capable of summoning five reapers. I was trained by Crown Prince personally. I wanted to give my lesser opponent a chance to win. However, this has boosted their arrogance," Xuan Bing said as he threw a glimpse at Helian Wei Wei. In fact, the spell he cast was aimed at Helian Wei Wei. He intended to activate it during Helian Wei Wei's turn and brought out two reapers to catch her off guard. He did not expect that the spell would be activated earlier, not knowing what went wrong. Nonetheless, the incident seemed rather strange.

  Anyway, it doesn't matter.

  The winner will take it all!

  I'll be the sole winner in this competition!

  After he woke up from his train of thoughts, Xuan Bing removed his gaze from Helian Wei Wei in a haughty manner.

  The eyes of the dumbfounded audience were fixed on Xuan Bing.

  The Green Dragon, which was hiding amidst the air, read Xuan Bing's mind before it let out a contemptuous chuckle. "This man is trying to kill himself."

  "Exactly." Fire Qilin was standing beside the Green Dragon. Other than Baili Jia Jue, no other human could see them. "He's trying to perform exorcism in front of our master? Indeed, humans are foolish as always. Master, how many reapers are you planning to release? Green Dragon and I are more than happy to give way to them."

  Baili Jiajue slowly raised his ceramic cup, he c.o.c.ked his head as he toyed with the cup. Then, he replied in an indifferent tone, "Let's be nice to him. Didn't he request for four reapers? Then, we'll give him four reapers."

  Fire Qilin blinked in astonishment, wondering if it had misheard its master. When did our master become so accommodating?

  Then, Baili Jiajue added, "Get him the four best reapers."

  Upon listening to that, the Fire Qilin was speechless.

  It had certainly misunderstood its master.

  The best reaper was as powerful as two common reapers.

  Together, they would be more terrifying than eight common reapers!

  "Master, you're not being nice to them. You're trying to chop them into pieces," Fire Qilin added with an almost inaudible voice.

  Baili Jiajue raised his eyebrow nonchalantly. "Are you objecting my idea?"

  "Of course not. You're the most honorable King and you can do whatever you want." Fire Qilin went down on one knee and bowed.

  Baili Jiajue was not looking at it. Instead, he was using his consciousness stream to communicate with Helian Wei Wei. "When he summons the reapers, you should stay away from him."

  "Hmm?" It took Helian Wei Wei a while to respond as she was used to hearing Yuan Ming's wicked tone. It was difficult for her to get adapted to this new graceful voice.

  Baili Jiajue rested his head on another hand as he explained indolently, "Avoid the blood. It's dirty."

  The intelligent Helian Wei Wei immediately grasped his words, knowing that he was involved in this incident. "The two reapers from just now seemed grumpier than usual. Was it because of you?"

  "Yes," Baili Jiajue answered nonchalantly as though he was completely unconcerned. "They were scared by me."

  His voice carried absolutely no emotion. It sounded elegant and polite as always.

  The corner of Helian Wei Wei's mouth twitched as she tried to imagine her opponent's reaction if he ever heard Baili Jia Jue's statement.

  He was putting strenuous effort to summon the reapers from netherworld.

  However, His Highness seemed to completely disregard these amateurs' efforts...

  This was what distinguished him from others!

  Once again, Helian Wei Wei reckoned that she was really wise when she decided to court Baili Jia Jue although, back then, she was only attracted by his appearance...

  "Later, I want to do it on my own. Don't try to help me." Helian Wei Wei was curious to find out if she could summon anything by herself. She had successfully summoned a Little Land Master. It was possible for her
to summon a handsome man later!

  As Helian Wei Wei was lost in her reverie, she heard a fruity yet cold laugh, "A handsome man?"

  Chapter 667 - You Belong To Me Completely

  Helian Wei Wei straightened up before she cleared her throat and said, "Can you stop peeking into my mind? I'm distressed."

  Upon hearing it, Baili Jiajie glanced at her.

  Thinking that her protest was effective, Helian Wei Wei proudly sat upright.

  However, Baili Jia Jue's did not react according to her expectations. He began to study her with his eyes. Despite the distance, Helian Wei Wei felt as though he was speaking by her ear. She could clearly hear his magnetic yet warm voice. "I've kissed every single part of your body. You belong to me completely, and your mind is no exception."

  Helian Wei Wei knew that he was talking about how he tortured her at the hotspring last night. She could not catch her breath, intending to leave the place as soon as possible. Unfortunately, she felt chills down her spine. Therefore, she had no choice but to beg Baili Jia Jue for mercy.

  Eventually, she was forced to acknowledge his statement, agreeing that she belonged to him, before he was finally willing to let her go.

  Helian Wei Wei's face was flushed red. Therefore, she cut off the consciousness stream and focused on the contest before His Highness could blather further.

  Alas, Baili Jia Jue seemed to have no intention to let her go. He continued to stare at her with his dark and sparkling eyes before he reconnected their consciousness stream. "You don't want me to read your mind?"

  Helian Wei Wei nodded her head firmly. It was important for lovers to keep each other interested. Their relationship would turn boring if he could read her mind.

  Baili Jiajie mulled over her request before he asked, "What can you give me in return?"

  Are you negotiating the terms with me?

  Indeed, he was shameless all the time.

  Helian Wei Wei shrugged. "I have one more dragon pill."

  Baili Jiajie chuckled before he responded in his usual arrogant tone, "Wei Wei, are you trying to dismiss me with this?"

  "Then, what do you want?" Helian Wei Wei understood that, as she owed it to Baili Jia Jue, she had no choice but to obey him. At this moment, she had an intense urge to bite this insufferable prince.

  Baili Jiajue rested his chin on his hand as he put on a faint smile, "For once, you should take the lead tonight. Initiate a kiss, then mount me and seduce me."

  Upon hearing that, Helian Wei Wei was speechless.

  Indeed, no one can be more shameless than His Highness. This was the first thought that ran through Helian Wei Wei's mind. Fine, I agree. After all, in a few days time, it'll be Full Moon night and there'll be Yab-Yum. His Highness will definitely coax me into agreeing it nonetheless. It's better for me to accept this deal now.

  After all, His Highness is so good-looking. There'll be no regret for me to sleep with him!

  "Sure." Wei Wei calmly retracted her gaze.

  Out of her surprise, His Highness raised his eyebrows bawdily. Upon seeing her red ears, his lips curled into a smile again.

  As they conversed via the consciousness stream, Xuan Bing had already begun his act. He held the wooden sword in one hand as he bit his finger with his teeth. With his own blood, he drew a yellow rune. The yellow runes followed his guide and floated in the air. The four of the runes stopped on his left, right, front, and back, signifying the four directions, north, south, east and west, protecting Xuan Bing who was standing at the center.

  It was apparent that the yellow runes appeared different from the one Mu Bai used previously. Even the ministers who had no knowledge about The Art of Yin and Yang in Exorcism could appreciate the light that was emitted by the yellow runes.

  "What's that?" the ministers exclaimed.

  The young man frowned. "That's the exorcist's spiritual aura which he can use to protect himself from the ghosts. But… not everyone is able to present their spiritual aura as a glow. Xuan Bing is certainly a powerful man." Even if the elder is present, they will possibly end up in statemate. Although the young man did not speak out his mind, there were hints in his words.

  Once again, the ministers seemed solemn.

  Xuanyuan Kingdom had won one round.

  Even though they resented their loss during the previous match, it was indisputably stated in the rules that the contestant who used the shortest time would be the winner.

  If Xuan Bing from Xuanyuan Kingdom won this round again, the competition would end here.

  Then, they would lose their right to protect the Capital.

  Upon thinking about it, Liu Yu and Wu Jing clenched their fists as they prayed for their opponent to make mistakes.

  If Xuan Bing succeeded, the Third Princess Consort would definitely lose the contest.

  It was impossible for the princess consort to summon more than four reapers.

  Not only that, there was also a time limit for the contest.

  Furthermore, the princess consort did not carry a yellow rune with her. She might not even be able to summon a reaper...

  At this moment, the worried Liu Yu and Wu Jing suddenly heard Xuan Bing's resonating voice. The breezes turned chilling once again. "Ghosts of Hell, take my command and show yourselves!"

  Swoosh...

  It felt as if something had whooshed past them.

  As though the Great Hall frozen, they were swamped by the Qi of Yin. Some of the exorcists had run out of patience as they rose to their feet and fixed their gaze on Xuan Bing.

  Followed by a loud thud, the lanterns that were hung by the entrance of the hall were extinguished, leaving only the shadow of the swinging lanterns on the ground.

  A faint and nonchalant smile was plastered on Xuan Bing's face before he threw a scornful glance at Helian Wei Wei.

  When he was about to chant the spell, he noticed that the yellow rune on his left got out of control. It started to shake vigorously before he felt a chill on the left side of his face .

  Xuan Bing did not turn his head. Being a necromancer, no one understood better than him about three torches that followed humans since their birth. They were located at one's left, right and back.

  As long as these three torches continued to glow, one's Qi of Yang would always be more powerful than the Qi of Yin.

  If one of the three torches was extinguished, one would be blitzed by the Qi of Yin.

  That was why the elders continuously reminded us to not look around when we were walking alone at night. Even if one heard noises from his or her back, one should never turn around. This was to prevent being trailed by spirits.

  Similarly, at this instant, Xuan Bing heard his name being repeatedly called behind his back.

  Amidst the bedlam, he saw the Alsatian which he tortured to death.

  It was staring at him with a pair of eerie and resentful eyes, as though it was waiting for him to lose the competition before it could pounce on him and rip him into pieces.

  Xuan Bing was a man who hated failure. During his cultivation, he would vent his anger on his Alsatian whenever he met someone who was better than him.

  No one knew about this because he was always known as a man who was unconcerned about all earthly affairs.

  After his Alsatian died, his brothers from the Elder Compound expressed their condolences and offered to organize a ritual for the Alsatian, hoping that its soul could rest in peace.

  On the outside, Xuan Bing seemed to be in grief. However, in fact, he did not care about his Alsatian at all. Besides not helping to rest its soul, he also snitched the Alsatian's life essence, breaking its soul permanently. As a result, its soul would not be accepted by hell and could only wander in the human world hopelessly.

  Chapter 668 - Xuan Bing Was Defeated With A Slap In The Face

  "Baili Jia Jue, can you see that Alsatian?" Helian Wei Wei was certain that His Highness could see what the exorcists could not.

  As expected, Baili Jia Jue replied succinctly in a muffled ton
e, "Yes."

  Helian Wei Wei continued, "Why is the Alsatian emitting a dark aura which seems rather different from the reaper's aura?"

  Baili Jia Jue furrowed his brows as he stared at Helian Wei Wei with a solemn gaze. "You can see the grievance in the Alsatian?"

  Helian Wei Wei acknowledged, "Yes. It seems like the dark aura is getting increasingly powerful."

  Baili Jia Jue remained quiet as he continued to look at Helian Wei Wei with his sombre eyes. Is she the reincarnation of Phoenix Girl? Is this why she's so s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e toward the dark elements?

  "What's the matter?" When Helian Wei Wei received no response from Baili Jia Jue, she turned to look at him.

  "Nothing much," Baili Jia Jue spoke in an indifferent tone. "In most situations, even exorcists are not able to see that Alsatian unless they have achieved a certain level of cultivation."

  Helian Wei Wei was exhilarated. She gently raised her brows as if she was expecting a compliment from Baili Jia Jue. "Does it mean that I'm extraordinary?"

  "Yes." As Baili Jia Jue watched the smug Helian Wei Wei, his eyes sparkled with happiness, despite the fact that no one else sensed his overwhelming affection toward Helian Wei Wei.

  After receiving the praise, Helian Wei Wei recomposed herself. "Is this Alsatian holding grudges against Xuan Bing?" Otherwise, why does it appear extremely bloodthirsty? Moreover, it seems so sorrowful and ready to attack regardlessly...

  "You're right." Baili Jia Jue twitched the corner of his lips. Wearing a disdainful expression on his beautiful face, he continued, "Dogs are born loyal. Under usual circ.u.mstances, they are even willing to sacrifice their lives for their masters. However, Xuan Bing was too brutal toward his pet. Other than torturing it in public, he took away its life essence after its passing. Then, he repeatedly used its soul to practice the Art of Soul Binding, trapping its spirit within the mountain for years. Now, it's finally gotten a chance to take revenge on Xuan Bing!"

  When Baili Jia Jue finished his words, he immediately felt a cool breeze!

  "Woof! Woof!"
