The Anarchic Consort c1-1376

"Alright." Manager Zhang held in his mind plenty of questions that he dared not ask. Thus, he simply marched out of the office swiftly.
The media reporters were all highly enthusiastic. Various filming cameras occupied most of the space in the level one hall, while every reporter waited eagerly for Baili Jia Jue's entry.
At that moment, Helian Wei Wei caught sight of someone who was not supposed to appear there.
"Woman, I finally managed to track you down after so long." In the dark, a small figure was seated cross-legged in the car. His eyes were a clear ruby red, while a smile hung across his face alongside an extremely devilish expression. The sickle over his shoulder that gleamed with a dark glow was easily five times his height.
The appearance of the little one seemed to cause the entire parking lot to plummet into an unprecedented chill.
Anyone else visiting the parking lot could not place their fingers on what happened. All they did was wonder how the 30-degree weather suddenly turned so cold.
Could it perhaps be because they were in a parking lot?
Inevitably, some of the passersby looked back occasionally, but they still could not figure out the reason behind the sudden coldness.
Only Helian Wei Wei and Little Qingchen, who tagged along, were able to see the little one that reeked of the Underworld, and the trembling judge standing behind him.
"Son of the King of Hell?" Helian Wei Wei muttered as her thin brows wrinkled into a frown. "What are you doing here?"
The King of Hell's son plunged into deep thought. "This can only prove that the power of love is simply fascinating. For the sake of Little Hook, I can do anything without hesitation."
Helian Wei Wei could not form a reply to his statement.
"Anyhow, there's something that you must know." The King of Hell's son lowered his volume as he pressed on, "I'm sure you can already feel it too, ever since your man came to the modern world, the ghoulish aura in him has only been getting denser and denser. Even his murderous intent would be more easily expressed, unknowing to him himself."
Helian Wei Wei slowly raised his gaze to look up to him, her voice exceptionally calm. "What are you trying to say?"
"This is not a good sign," said the Son of the King of Hell as he touched the bridge of his nose. "Let me first say that I'm risking my life to send you this message. I'm only telling you because I know you're Uncle Tang's friend, and for the fact that we have once suffered together during the ancient times. Ripping space and time has always been considered against nature so humans and Gods alike failed even after giving their best efforts to break through. In the whole wide world, Baili Jia Jue is perhaps the only one who actually managed to follow you all the way to the modern world. At the same time, however, he is also subject to substantial damage. To look for you, he gave up his divine psyche. You ought to know that His Highness has once fallen from the sky, and if he has no divine psyche, it could only mean that he would become a legitimate demon…"
Chapter 999 - No Matter What, I Will Protect Him
Helian Wei Wei tightened her grip on the steering wheel as she stared straight at the King of Hell's son, sitting right in front of her. Those beautiful eyes had lost their warmth and subsequently, became extremely sharp.
This easily made her recall the times when she was alone and single-handedly fighting off groups of demons.
The King of Hell's son had never once forgotten that she was Phoenix, the Phoenix that could kill a Sea of Blood with her Phoenix Bone Scythe.
However, Helian Wei Wei did not attack. Instead, she smiled and tilted her head to one side to pinch little Qingchen's cheek. "Son, could you please get off the car first? I have something to discuss with this young man."
Little Qingchen had always been smart, and at the same time, he understood Helian Wei Wei well. He knew that she would never let anyone get involved in her decision.
He pushed the door open and wobbled as he leaped off, with a devil plush in his hands.
He did not understand what a divine psyche was.
No one had ever told him about it.
Despite that, one thing Little Qingchen was well aware of was that this person did not bring with him good news.
Perhaps he could think of a solution to settle the problem with his elder brother when he met up with him later.
It was about Imperial Father after all…
Anyhow, he was unaware that the reason Helian Wei Wei refused to let him listen to the rest of the conversation was that the changes in Baili Jia Jue might hurt Helian Wei Wei.
It was exactly because of this that the King of Hell's son chose to tell her this message, "Tian Dao and Buddhism, and even those Grim Reapers in the Underworld are already busying themselves with the preparation. You should know that when the Emperor fell from the sky many years back and became a demon, his power was dreaded even by the Three Heavenly Paths. Many years have passed, they will never hope to see the Emperor transforming into a legitimate demon. This will harm all the living things on earth. Without the constraint of the divine psyche, his ghoulish aura will be deemed dominant. By then, he will kill everyone."
"He will not become like that." Helian Wei Wei cut the King of Hell's son short. A tinge of indifference arose on her side profile, like never before.
The King of Hell's son peered at her. "Woman, you should know the meaning of turning into a real demon. Even you shall one day be no more than a source of food for him. This is because both of you have made a contract to help each other out and once he has helped you fulfill your wish, the contract will be automatically put to effect. He will treat you like the most delicious meal ever, devouring you bit by bit. His Highness has always been different from the others. He was born from chaos and once he becomes a demon, he will lose all human instincts. Surely you must know."
"I'm aware of all these, but I will say it once again, he will not become like that." Helian Wei Wei retracted her hands from the steering wheel and stared right into the King of Hell's son's eyes. "I will not let him become like that."
The King of Hell's son paused, shaking his head. "Woman, we all know that no one can stop these changes from happening. The divine psyche is gone, this time it's gone for real. Ripping time and space is scarier than falling from the sky, do you understand me? He did not manage to find you the last time but he's found you now, so there are no more shackles around him. He must have shown signs of demonizing, such as aversion to sunlight, beginning to feel bloodthirsty, you…"
"When will the war start?" Helian Wei Wei did not wait for the King of Hell's son to finish before she spoke with a calm voice. It was so calming that the King of Hell's son felt that she knew better than himself about how things would end. "I know very clearly what is running through the minds of the people in Tian Dao and Buddhism. For them to show up in the netherworld and join forces, it must have been because they realized that they don't have enough power to keep the divine psyche, yet they feared losing it. Since you've come to look for me, it means that they have been preparing for quite a while now. Have they already ordered someone to be by his side? This time, the netherworld is taking sides with them, right?"
The King of Hell's son suddenly grew solemn. "You're right. Wei Wei, you have to understand that no one will endure such existence that poses a risk of destruction to the Six Paths. To morph from a God to a Demon, what's more, he was also born from chaos. He will become a killing machine and your soul will be the first one he claims. That's the purpose I am here today, to tell you this message. I'm afraid that we have to be enemies from now on. To be honest, I don't want to be your enemy, but, Wei Wei, you can't deny that when the time comes, he will no longer be the Baili Jia Jue you know."
"He will still be the same." A faint glow seemed to appear deep within Helian Wei Wei's determined, starry eyes as she sternly affirmed, "No matter what he becomes, he will still be him. Just like what you've said, I don't want to be your enemy but there is something you must note, no one can hurt him while I'm h
ere. If the people from the netherworld wish to harm him, he doesn't have to release his demon's ghoulish aura. I will use my Phoenix Bone Scythe first."
The King of Hell's son did not mutter a word.
At that moment, the parking lot was dead silent.
The King of Hell's son finally let out a long sigh. "Even if the people of the netherworld have no intention of hurting him, you cannot protect him. The first person that he will harm is you, do you not understand? You may be able to defend him from Tian Dao and Buddhism for now, but at the end of the day, the person whose soul that he will devour will be yourself. It seems like you still don't understand the meaning of a killing machine."
"I understand." Helian Wei Wei's voice deepened with a thick hint of warning. " Even if he becomes a killing machine, even if the whole world wants him gone, even if my soul will be devoured, I still want to protect him for as long as I can, so don't ever cross my boundaries!"
The King of Hell's son's eyes darkened. "I understand. I will try to keep an eye on the people of the netherworld. But, woman, you must be careful." Saying this, he rose to his feet and smiled.
If the whole world wishes to go against you.
Then I shall stand by your side and fight alongside you, how about that?
She was unmistakably the Phoenix that he knew.
The King of Hell's son's only worry was that… after losing his human instincts, would Bali Jia Jue still know all these when his mind was to be filled only with the urge to slaughter?
The one thing that terrified him the most was that Baili Jia Jue should already be showing signs of change. To which stage had he transformed? No one knew for sure, it was even likely that he himself would not notice much, as the demon was the sole representation of the darkest selfishness.
He was determined to try his best to fulfill the wish the exclusive soul had made.
He was already starting to demonize.
So, Wei Wei was in grave danger.
"Even so, do you still wish to stay by his side?" Murmuring to himself, the King of Hell's son glanced down at the hatchet in his hands.
The judge who followed closely behind him stammered terribly, "L-Little Highness, y-you've told Phoenix everything. The l-lord will definitely tie you up!"
"Am I afraid of him?" The King of Hell's son dashingly blew a puff of air at the bangs on his forehead. "Go home and tell my father that I am taking Little Hook's family name from now on, and that he doesn't have to come to the human world to look for me. A married man is like water that is splashed out, doesn't he understand?"
Chapter 1000 - His Highness Made An Announcement
The judge was rendered speechless.
Only women who are married off are called water that is splashed out!
If the lord happens to hear you saying this, he will surely beat you to death!
Little Highness, you're not even courting her, you are completely getting yourself exploited!
The King of Hell's son did not care what others thought of him. He held on to his enormous hatchet and marched forward, ignoring the judge's tantrum.
Little Qingchen stood there, his tiny hands playing with the devil plush's ears. Looking at the seemingly abnormal young man in front of him, he did not utter a word.
The King of Hell's son appeared more interested in the little one instead. After all, he had never encountered a child who was younger than himself. That is, besides Little Hook, his future wife.
After noticing Little Qingchen, he started to rummage through his pocket. After a good while, he produced a piece of chocolate. "Do you want to eat this? My wife put it in my pocket."
Little Qingchen thought about meeting his brother later. His brother loved chocolate, so he stretched out a hand and retrieved it. Following that, he handed a pearl to the King of Hell's son, saying in his baby voice, "This is for your wife."
The judge had no words as he witnessed the entire exchange. Only you would take Little Highness' words seriously!!! How old was he, how could he possibly have a wife!!!
The King of Hell's son felt exhilarated from Little Qingchen's words. Almost immediately, he decided to bring Little Hook along the next time to play with them.
I heard that he has an elder brother too.
A true little devil, huh? He must be very naughty.
It was decided then, that they would ask each other out to play in the future!
Of course, the condition was that at that time, Baili Jia Jue would really still be as Helian Wei Wei described, he would still be safe…
Helian Wei Wei watched the conversation between the two little ones from inside the car. She knew about the King of Hell's son's attitude. Since she had just distracted Qingchen from the conversation a while ago, the Son of the King of Hell would never tell Qingchen about it, which was good.
Helian Wei Wei tilted her head and opened the car door before plastering a smile on her face. "Son, let's go. Come with me to pick them up."
Little Qingchen still swayed as he walked, so Helian Wei Wei held his tiny hand as both of them stepped into the elevator. He then lifted his small face and looked at the numbers on the elevator. "Don't worry."
"Hmm?" Helian Wei Wei raised an eyebrow.
Little Qingchen stared back at her with his large eyes. "You still have me and elder brother, so don't worry."
Helian Wei Wei smiled and drew her son's head close to her before lowering her head and kissing the baby hair sticking out on top of his head. "I know. What do you want to eat for dinner? Remember to pick anything you want when we get to the supermarket later."
Both mother and son always shopped at the supermarket, so they were accustomed to this.
So, when both of them walked out, all the cameras and eyes were focused on them.
The media reporters scrambled to click their camera shutters, so eagerly that they did not bother about their own image anymore.
They had never seen such a stylish father-son duo. The father was so handsome that it turned their legs into jelly. He was clad in a noble pure black trench coat and it felt as if the elegance and nobility emanated from within his bones.
The son, on the other hand, was like a devil. His bridged nose, thin lips and exquisite features made people crave another look at him again and again, while his eyes further highlighted the warning not to mess with him.
As both of them, one grown and one little, stood together alongside each other, the scene appeared more than adorable!
"The purpose of today's press conference held by President Jue is mainly to announce two things." It was time to showcase the power of the corporate media manager, Manager Li. He put on a faint smile before walking out. His voice was not high-pitched but it was enough for all the reporters in the hall to hear him loud and clear. "The first announcement is that from today onwards, Jue Wei Group's first successor, Young Master Baili Shangxie, will officially enter the entertainment industry."
The media reporters had never anticipated the Little Young Master of Jue Wei Group to show up, not to mention to deliver such huge news the moment he revealed himself to the public!
Everyone knew that Baili Jia Jue had a son but only the people working in Jue Wei Group's internal senior management had seen him before. The rest of them had only ever heard of him.
Now, his face was revealed. Not long after, he would probably appear rather often on television!
For him to use this identity of Jue Wei Group's first successor to enter the entertainment industry, this was unquestionably going to stir up a huge commotion!
Not to mention his face!
Oh my god!
How could such a child exist!
A majority of the female media reporters present had already automatically converted themselves into his fans!
Since everyone was working in the same industry, they were well aware of what was expected of Baili Shangxie's debut.
That face of his would not just be famous across Asia, but also on an international level!
"Of c
ourse, this announcement is not President Jue's main focus," as Manager Zhang continued, he averted his gaze at Baili Jia Jue.
The media reporters were all taken aback!
"Is this not the main point yet? So what is the main announcement then?"
With a smile, Manager Li signaled for them to silence themselves. Just as he was about to start speaking like before, he heard the clear, unrushed voice of their president interrupting him. The voice was rather deep and magnetic, "The main point is that I want to change how you people have been introducing me. I've seen many magazines mentioning that I'm single, but in actual fact, this is incorrect as I am a married man. What's more, my wife loves me a lot."
It was not hard to imagine the crowd's reaction to Baili Jia Jue's words once he finished speaking!
All of the media reporters were stunned in place for a moment!
Even Manager Li, who was in charge of the company's corporate media, did not know that their president had called for a press conference to announce such a thing!
Everyone was utterly dumbfounded!
Little Baili Shangxie was the only one who responded, snorting coldly at him, "Father, did you mix up the object and the subject in your last sentence? It's my first time hearing someone say 'my wife loves me very much' in an introduction. Enough is enough."
"I was just speaking the truth." Baili Jia Jue glanced at him dismissively. "One more thing, you can keep quiet for now and go look for your manager."
The manager was still in shock!
The media reporters finally came to their senses and the whole crowd immediately erupted into a chaotic uproar!
Manager Li's first reaction was to stop them, but was firmly shoved aside by a random person. "Is President Jue really married? But why have the people in Jue Wei Group never heard about your wife? It's not like you've had a partner before, right?"
Manager Li thought to himself, Here goes another media corporation steadily approaching bankruptcy.
