The Anarchic Consort c1-1376

by Warring Young Seven

  However, he had to get the Sarira first...

  After she had entered, everyone seemed to be holding their breaths.

  Her physical appearance was too enchanting, with indescribable tenderness. Her fair, delicate skin and gentle features made her look like Lady Guan Yin to some degree, even her fluttering sleeves seemed celestial. She seemed pristine and had a noble air as she walked by. Her thin lips parted slightly and as she softly called out, "Dad."

  "It's Eldest Young Lady Ni Feng!"

  "What a rare occasion. Didn't they say Lady Ni Feng hasn't appeared in public for a long time? Being here today is absolutely worth it."

  "Yeah, can you feel the spiritual aura emitting from her body? She's indeed the Phoenix Girl reincarnated. That must be the reason she is so spiritually abundant!"

  Hearing the shower of praises on his daughter, Ni Biao felt extremely proud when he looked at his beloved daughter. Smiling, he said, "Come sit down. The kitchen has prepared your favorite c.h.e.s.tnut cake, it's what you like to have during winter."

  Ni Feng glanced at the pastries on the plate but did not take any of it. She merely smiled and replied, "Thank you, Father. I heard that the rules of the contest have been released."

  Ni Biao took a sip of tea and said, "Yes, they are out. I'm also one of the judges. Feng'er, you're weak, so don't be bothered by these trivial matters. Don't worry, no one would be able to stop the Ni family this time. Even that rascal Zhuge Yun would not be able to appear in the contest. I've settled everything well. You just have to complete your task when the time comes and arrive at the royal tomb's entrance as soon as possible. This may be dangerous for others, but it's a piece of cake for you. However, the journey there would be dangerous, so you have to rest well in the coming days."

  "Alright," Ni Feng gave a few light coughs as she agreed to her father. Her sleeves were heavily scented with herbs.

  "How are you coughing again?" Ni Biao looked at her worriedly.

  Ni Feng did not speak, but merely covered her lips with a white handkerchief. She looked like she was sniffing at something...

  Chapter 736 - Wei Wei’s Space Was Withering?

  Ni Hu felt strange when he saw it. He felt that his elder sister had changed ever since she fell majorly sick previously. However, he could not quite place his finger on it.

  Whenever their father was asking her questions, she always seemed distracted. Even now, Ni Hu had no idea what she was really thinking about. However, he could not understand why his father would seem inattentive after speaking to his elder sister.

  As everyone remained silent, Ni Hu went closer to his sister and put his arm around her, asking, "Elder Sister, do you want to leave earlier since you're feeling unwell?"

  Ni Feng paused for a while, before replying while coughing in between her words, "The… the banquet just began. Would it be inappropriate if I left now?"

  The Old Master Ni seemed to have just gained his senses. He did not know what had happened. He was feeling quite sharp initially, but he was hit with a sudden bout of sleepiness just now. However, he felt much better now after being woken up by the blowing wind. He smiled at Ni Feng and said, "There is nothing inappropriate about it. All the guests at the banquet are my friends. Moreover, they should know by now who is in charge in Exorcist City. You and your brother can leave first if you are feeling unwell. Little Tiger, send your elder sister back. Be cautious and don't let anybody touch your sister."

  "Yes, father." Although Ni Hu acted rampantly when he was out, he was much more restrained at home, especially in front of his elder sister. He did not know why, but he feared her.

  "Elder Sister, let's go back." Ni Hu went ahead to clear a path for her.

  Ni Feng nodded and followed after him. She still coughed as she walked, but her spiritual aura seemed to have increased in abundance.

  Ni Hu thought that he was too oblivious, thinking that his elder sister was emitting the Qi of Yin just now. It is obviously her spiritual aura, how could it be the Qi of Yin...

  "Little Tiger, you may leave me here. I want to take a walk outside. You should go back if you have nothing else to do after this. There are so many distinguished guests arriving in Exorcist City, you should help father serve them." The way Ni Feng spoke was as gentle as her personality.

  Ni Hu did not really want to be in the backyard. The crowd was in the front yard and the evening was just beginning. He was anticipating the dance performance later, but he was also worried about his elder sister's condition. So, he reminded her, "Elder sister, take good care during your walk. It's cold out there, you should bring another heater."

  "Alright." Ni Feng nodded with a smile. As she lowered her eyes, she gave a few more coughs.

  "Then, I'll take my leave." Ni Hu was in a hurry to return to the party. After taking a few steps, he turned back as he remembered something, but he saw that Ni Feng was standing right there without moving. The weird feeling that he had before arose again. However, he simply shook his head and walked toward the front yard...

  The night sky was getting darker, and the blowing cold breeze causing the b.a.r.e winter trees to sway back and forth. They looked like eerie shadows who were baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.

  Exorcist City was supposed to be the safest place in the world, who knew that this day would come.

  One of the fetuses in Helian Wei Wei's w.o.m.b seemed to have felt something. Its devilish red eyes widened suddenly and glowed dimly.

  "Elder brother, did something happen?" The smaller fetus woke up after noticing his sibling's state.

  The bigger fetus hummed in agreement. His tone was faint but sinister, as he muttered, "There is something strange about this Exorcist City."

  His answer made the smaller fetus' eyes lit up brightly, like flowing red blood, as he replied, "They must be here for the Sarira. Do you think they might harm our mother?"

  "If they dare lift a finger at our mother, father will definitely bash their brains out." The bigger fetus snorted coldly, "He can still be useful during these critical moments. Don't worry, little brother, I'm here. Even if our father fails, I'll protect you and Mother well. She cannot be hurt at all, and you're still weak. If you can't maintain your spiritual aura, you might be in danger too. I'll never allow that to happen."

  The smaller fetus was indeed quite weak. After a grunt, the smaller fetus hugged his brother and fell asleep.

  The bigger fetus did not go back to sleep. Instead, he absorbed the surrounding spiritual aura for the sleeping smaller fetus...

  They did not know that Baili Jia Jue was also awake.

  He glanced briefly at Helian Wei Wei who was sleeping in his arm. He retracted his arm quietly, put on his fur coat, and walked out of the room.

  His perfect and handsome side profile showed strong suppression of s.e.x.u.a.l passion. As he walked, black feathers dropped by his feet with each step he took.

  The Fire Qilin and the Green Dragon were summoned, and appeared in front of him simultaneously, saying, "Master."

  "Go check on that surge of Qi of Yin just now," Baili Jia Jue's said indifferently.

  However, the puzzling thing was that Exorcist City was extremely peaceful.

  It was as if the Qi of Yin that appeared at night was simply an illusion.

  The next day, Exorcist City's skies remained clear and boundless. Even the air was much fresher than the Capital's, and there was also an abundance of spiritual aura.

  Besides Helian Wei Wei, everyone was extremely energetic.

  Helian Wei Wei felt very tired, and all she wanted to do was sleeping. However, she could not sleep well, as if something was pressing on her c.h.e.s.t, making her feel even more hungry.

  Logically speaking, she should not be this tired after sleeping for so long, but her physical response was obviously the opposite.

  Feeling helpless, she resorted to picking and eating more strawberries.

  However, she was shocked to find that the large field of strawberries in the Fan
tasy Space had withered.

  "What's going on?" Helian Wei Wei woke up suddenly. She had never encountered this situation before. To her, the Fantasy Space was always like a treasure c.h.e.s.t that she never had to worry about. Whenever and whatever she needed, it could give her everything.

  Before she was pregnant, she used to collect spiritual auras to be placed into Fantasy Space as a way to maintain it.

  Logically, my Fantasy Space should not have any problems!

  However, Fantasy Space is showing signs of withering now!

  This made Helian Wei Wei frown heavily. She might have been fine before without the Fantasy Space, but her body needed to be supplemented by spiritual aura now.

  Although she had not talked to her babies yet, she knew clearly that her babies needed spiritual aura.

  How did this happen?

  Everything was fine before. How is it that after just a single night, the Fantasy Space begins to show signs of withering?

  Why is this happening exactly?

  Chapter 737 - The First Slap On The Face

  Logically speaking, with the abundance of spiritual aura in Exorcist City, this should not be happening.

  Unless…

  These auras are not really spiritual auras?!

  Due to Helian Wei Wei's previous job, she had extraordinary intuition when it came to observing minute details.

  Her intuition was telling her that something was wrong in Exorcist City, and the root of these problems was these spiritual auras.

  "Whitey." Helian Wei Wei had not summoned Whitey and Blackie for a while to conserve her physical energy. Since something had happened, she had to take precautions.

  Whitey looked the same, except for its eyes, which had changed significantly from its initial state. Now, they were purely amber, clear and cold, as he said, "I'm here."

  "The contest is about to start tomorrow. It'll probably take more than a day to the mausoleum's entrance. Please stay in the Fantasy Space to prevent that the strawberries from dying, from the withering spiritual aura in the Fantasy Space." Helian Wei Wei was used to strategizing in the army. She did not know how long these strawberries could sustain her, but she had to at least protect those that were alive. Whitey was a mythological beast, so its aura would help the strawberries.

  "Okay." Whitey nodded and said, "However, lady, this incident is not simple. For someone to be able to manipulate the spiritual aura in Exorcist City without being noticed, this person must be crafty and have powerful nature-defying magic. You have to be extra careful in the contest tomorrow."

  "I understand." Helian Wei Wei was also aware that this situation was different. Other than her physical condition, there was still one thing that worried her. These spiritual auras that permeated the air, what was their purpose?

  There was a lot on Helian Wei Wei's mind. Naturally, she was a little absent-minded as she had her meal.

  Other than her and Baili Jia Jue, Madam Zhuge and her son were at the dining table too.

  However, this did not stop His Highness from feeding Helian Wei Wei. Unlike the others, he hardly took a few bites. Instead, he had loaded a pile of food on Helian Wei Wei's small plate.

  Madam Zhuge was observant and smart. She took a few glances at Baili Jia Jue and laughingly said, "You know how to pamper a girl."

  Hearing this, Helian Wei Wei did not shy away either. She looked up from her plate and smiled at Madam Zhuge.

  Baili Jia Jue saw that her face red was red from eating and her hair was all curled up, he could not help but ruffled her hair.

  His pet was indeed pleasing to the eyes.

  Helian Wei Wei raised her brows. What's the matter?

  Helian Wei Wei merely lowered her head continued eating.

  Madam Zhuge remembered that they were going into the mausoleum with her son. She could not help but remind her again, "Xiao Wei, there's no spiritual aura on you, so you're the weakest. Just stick close to Little Yun. When danger comes, let them go first, okay?"

  In Madam Zhuge's eyes, Helian Wei Wei was probably just a child, and not much older than Zhuge Yun.

  Furthermore, since she had found out that Helian Wei We was a lady, she would inevitably look at her gently.

  Hearing Madam Zhuge's advice, Helian Wei Wei coughed twice gently before saying with a chuckle, "Madam, don't worry, I know what to do."

  In fact, she was the only one who knew the extent of her ability...

  Unlike Madam Zhuge's worries, the Ni family was sure that the Zhuge family could not send a team for the contest. Ni Hu was waiting to have a good laugh at Zhuge Yun the next morning.

  After all, making a person like Zhuge Yun abandon the contest was more rewarding than beating him up.

  Very soon, the next day arrived. Countless exorcists gathered in Exorcist City, each one of them was full of hidden talents.

  The rules of the contest required a team to have a minimum of three people, but there was no upper limit to a team's size.

  Therefore, three-quarters of the exorcists present had chosen to follow Ni Hu.

  As for the Zhuge family, only Zhuge Yun was present. In contrast to the Ni family team, his side looked extremely empty.

  Ni Hu, who was at the center of everyone's attention, laughed so arrogantly that his chin almost dropped. He walked up to Zhuge Yun and spoke disdainfully, "Some people will never grow a brain unless he is beaten. Some may believe that they are somebody, but actually, they are worse than a dog. At least, a dog would get chosen."

  "You!" Zhuge Yun clenched his fists and clenched his teeth tightly.

  Ni Hu pretended to be sorry, saying "Brother Yun, I wasn't talking about you, please don't make blatant assumptions. Speaking of that, why are you are here alone? Hey! We are brothers. If no one chooses to join you, I can send two or three exorcists to you, At least, I can help you form a team and save you from giving up on the contest, right?" As he said this, his eyes turned cold. He quietly sneered, "Of course, I can't give you my people for nothing. You will have to kneel down, kowtow to me, and make an apology. After all, none of my people want to join the Zhuge family's team."

  "Hehehe, Master Ni, are you serious about it? Brother Yun still wants to fulfill his father's dying wish. He has the will but not the ability, and could not find any teammates. I'm afraid that he might just kneel to you so he can qualify." The person who said this was Young Master Xiao Lingyu from another faction. Compared to Ni Hu, he was not too violent, but he loved to belittle the weak and butter up the strong. When he spoke, his tone was weirdly condescending.

  Zhuge Yun was originally the most outstanding exorcist among them. Even in terms of exorcism magic, he was far better than them. However, his father's death was his misfortune. No matter how talented he was, he would be bullied if he did not know how to act according to the situation.

  Zhuge Yun was an embarrassment, even though he was the heir of his faction.

  Zhuge Yun's eyes were red with anger, but he knew that he could not do anything as his team was not there yet. If he took action right now, they might really be disqualified.

  "The game will start shortly. Brother Yun, you should consider carefully and let me know. This offer is valid at any time." As he finished his sentence, Ni Hu and the people around him started laughing, the mockery in their laughter was clearly evident.

  As he turned to leave, a cold voice cut through the air. It was full of indifference and the speaker obviously did not take him seriously, saying, "You may retract your offer. We don't need to consider anything, we have enough as a team."

  Ni Hu looked at the source of the voice and his smile instantly vanished

  There were two people standing behind Zhuge Yun.

  He would not forget those two faces even if he was on his deathbed. He had them to thank for the injuries on his face, and they were still hurting now. Most importantly, he had never been bullied like this before, being beaten in front of everyone.

  I have to get my revenge for this!

  Chapter 738 - The
Second Slap On The Face

  "You have enough indeed, but your team must be the smallest ever in history." Ni Hu turned back to look at his teammates and continued laughing. Then, he said, "Look around, there are at least 10 exorcists representing each faction. Brother Yun, you only have three here, how extraordinary."

  Hearing this, everyone burst into a peal of laughter again.

  As the young head of the family, Zhuge Yun was not good with words so he had no rebuttal.

  However, that was not the case for Helian Wei Wei and Baili Jia Jue, especially her. With a lazy smile, she said, "You think a big team makes you great? I remember a few days ago Young Master Ni brought a huge crowd along when he was looking for trouble at the Zhuge manor, but you were still beaten to a pulp. That was an extraordinary sight too, of someone who can't win with so many people. Haha, Young Master Ni, how weak are you?"

  In just a split second!

  Ni Hu's face instantly darkened.

  The exorcists behind him had heard about this, but they did not know about the full details.

  Curiously, Helian Wei Wei's question made them feel like laughing.

  Ni Hu had never felt so embarrassed. He looked at Helian Wei Wei angrily and said, "I don't know where you're from, but I'm warning you. You shouldn't anger me, or I will make you pay!"

  "Oh?" Helian Wei Wei laughed playfully. Then, she raised her arms and called out with a very clear voice, "Referee."

  There were referees present in the contest arena. Even if they were there for show, there had to be at least four referees present to regulate the contest.

  At first, everyone treated them as mere props, but Helian Wei Wei's call drew everyone's attention.

  The titular referee had no choice but to come over and ask, "What is the problem?"

  "Young Master Ni Hu from the Ni family was taking advantage of their family status to threaten other contestants, how would you deal with it?" Helian Wei Wei spoke softly, but loud enough for everyone to hear her clearly.
