The Anarchic Consort c1-1376

However, this did not affect Helian Wei Wei. She opened the cabin door and immediately, someone who was dressed as a Tibetan ran over to her.
That man wore a thick, huge felt, his head wearing a cap. He pressed his head with his hand while putting his left hand in front of his c.h.e.s.t. After seeing Helian Wei Wei, he laughed. "Tashi delek1," he greeted.
Tibetans had a loud voice and it made people feel happy just by listening to it.
Helian Wei Wei took off the ear muffles she wore while flying the plane. She looked at him while smiling, and said, "Tashi delek."
"Honestly I never thought that we would still have any business at this season." The Tibetan took a good look at Helian Wei Wei's clothes and spoke broken Mandarin. "You better wear some more clothes, it's too cold here. The lowest temperature would reach about -5°C, you won't be able to stand it. My name is Zha Xi, you could call me that in the future. At times like this, nobody's gonna hike the mountains. You will need a local guide, but the wind's pretty strong today, and it's already late. I suggest that we depart tomorrow. There's a fire and milk tea in the tent, do drink more to keep yourself warm."
Helian Wei Wei walked to the cabin door, her smile unchanged. "Thanks, Zha Xi, but let's forget the guiding part. Young Master Tang had probably talked to you before this. I'm going to the coldest region, so we could drink the milk tea on another day. I have a luggage that looks pretty large, I hope you could remain calm when you see it. Please do not be surprised or scream out loud."
Zha Xi already took the hint that he would be attending to an odd customer. After all, anyone who would visit Hoh Xil at this time was often off the rocker.
It was easy to experience oxygen deficiency here, plus there were not many people around to help them. If anything happened, it would be hard to inform anybody about it.
"Alright." Zha Xi looked at Helian Wei Wei with a calm expression. "You'll have to carry the tent up the hill, plus the sled dogs, they will help you along the journey."
Helian Wei Wei nodded. "I'll be bringing the tent, but there's no need for the sled dogs. I have a Tibetan Mastiff that can help me."
"Tibetan Mastiff?" Zha Xi looked around. Where is it?
Helian Wei Wei snapped her fingers and uttered a spell. With a deep voice, she uttered, "Blackie, come out."
Zha Xi was still searching for that Tibetan Mastiff. All of a sudden, he saw a black dog walking out of the airplane's cabin. His body was surprisingly huge and probably due to his hair being too pure, there was a black aura surrounding its body when it stood in the dark.
Do Tibetan Mastiffs ever grow that big?
Confusion was written all over Zha Xi's face. He saw many Tibetan Mastiffs in his life, and he even reared a few at home, but had never seen such a big one.
"I brought him here. Blackie has a good temperament. Please hang all the food on his back." Helian Wei Wei walked closer to it as she spoke.
It was at this moment that Zha Xi saw clearly the thing that she was dragging along with her. His face turned pale, but he did not say anything. He took a piece of rope and gave it to Helian Wei Wei. "Want to drag it with this rope? The metal chain is too cold to hold by hand."
"No need." Helian Wei Wei smiled. "Young Master Tang was right, you exercise great professionalism in your job."
Zha Xi looked at the pure black coffin again. "Many people came here for sky burials, but it's the first time I've seen anyone bringing a coffin here. To be honest, it's pretty scary, but Chinese are usually more thoughtful than us Tibetans. It is probably to ensure that your friend here is able to rest in peace."
Helian Wei Wei stroked her fingers across the coffin and spoke with a soft tone, "He still hasn't passed yet, you might have a chance to see him in the future."
Zha Xi did not believe Helian Wei Wei. He assumed that she could not accept her friend's death. After all, the Tibetans knew that no living human could ever be put inside a closed coffin unless it was a feigned corpse.
The pure Tibetans were always that kind. Their Allah had taught them not to disrespect any single soul, even if it was one that had passed...
1 A Tibetan expression used in greeting, congratulation, and good-luck wishes.
Chapter 1009 - His Highness Woke Up
Zha Xi prepared what was required meticulously. What this client wanted the most was meat and wine, some durable fruits and a large bucket of clean water. After putting everything on a wooden raft and tying it on the Tibetan Mastiff, they were good to go.
There was just one box with contents that were unknown to Zha Xi. When he pushed Helian Wei Wei aside, he asked her once again in broken Mandarin, "This was sent by Young Master Tang and has just arrived at the tent. Do you want to bring it with you?"
"Yes. I really need it. Thanks, Zha Xi." Helian Wei Wei was still responsible for tying things up on the Tibetan Mastiff. No matter how brave Zha Xi was, he was still subconsciously terrified of the demon dog.
After everything was ready, Helian Wei Wei clutched the metal chain tightly and strolled into the vast Hoh Xil.
The highland's snowline was clouded with mist. Every single line on the plateau symbolized the unique toughness and strength of the ethnic minorities.
Helian Wei Wei's behavior was unlike the usual tourists and that was unexpected for Zha Xi. She did not sit on the wooden raft, instead she walked in front of the black demon dog with her cape over her head. Only her pair of beautiful eyes could be seen.
In the darkness she stood, her dark coat was rustling loudly as it was blown by the wind. Her steps were steady as she walked across the icy plateau, her left hand wrapped around a pure white bandage and her right hand tugged at the metal chain. She seemed to be wrapped in an impenetrable black fog.
She seemed aloof, withdrawn yet invincible.
Zha Xi scratched his head, he rarely saw someone like her, but as someone who worked in the service industry, curiosity was the last thing he should have.
So Zha Xi said no more. He turned around and entered the tent, he still had to welcome a few highland explorers tomorrow.
Helian Wei Wei walked to the edge of the cliff and looked briefly at the towering mountain peaks that were covered in snow all year long. Without further hesitation, she started to set up her tent.
Then, she placed the coffin inside the tent.
A fiery redness glowed from every blooming flower, delicate, enchanting and juicy. The flowers were as fragile as dawn yet bewitchingly alluring.
Helian Wei Wei's gaze sank. Deep down, she knew what the blooming flowers of death meant.
However, this could not stop her from what she was about to do next.
Helian Wei Wei opened the wooden box, with her gaze as cold as ever.
If Zha Xi knew what was inside the box, he would definitely turn pale-white from fear.
She reached for two bags and put them into the glacier outside the tent. Then she lit up her portable heater and added a piece of wood in it.
After a while, Helian Wei Wei pushed open the black coffin. The man inside was still quiet in deep slumber.
A beautiful Devil's Snare had emerged from his c.h.e.s.t. Out of all the flowers around him, that was the only one in crimson. It was as dark as blood.
Two pointy fangs probed out of his thin lips. This was a face that could turn the world upside down. It was noble, elegant and a divine masterpiece.
Nonetheless, Helian Wei Wei knew that he was no angel. His demon fangs had already revealed itself. When this person woke up again, no one could guarantee what would happen.
Helian Wei Wei leaned on the coffin and closed her eyes gradually. She needed some rest, because she could only face what was to come with enough physical strength and stamina.
As she was tired from a night of flight, Helian Wei Wei fell into a light sleep fairly quickly. When she woke up, it was already 6 a.m..
There were only a few sparks left in the fireplace, her surroundings were completely dark and dead quiet.
She could vaguely sm
ell blood just at the tip of her nose, a very strong scent of blood.
Helian Wei Wei stood up immediately and looked behind her. The black coffin was empty by now, but there were many empty blood bags piled up in the tent with the labels of their donor's names and blood types still intact.
Helian Wei Wei frowned and walked out of the tent directly. The mist had started to dissipate and what was left in her sight was a vast expanse of white and green.
This meant that the sun would rise soon.
Baili Jia Jue was sitting on the glacier with his white wrist sprouting from his sleeve like a flower. He s.u.c.k.e.d on a blood bag as his eyes squinted, he was experiencing the joy of eating.
He was unusually hungry so he needed his fill of blood.
When he saw Helian Wei Wei walking toward him, he smiled evilly as he bared his white fangs slightly. A faint stain of blood remained on the corners of his mouth.
Fortunately they were in Hoh Xil where it was a no man's land, if not Baili Jia Jue's current state would have triggered unprecedented panic.
He was still as handsome as ever, but his sickly pale skin and his curled lips could not hide his evil intentions. "Human?"
Helian Wei Wei could sense Baili Jia Jue's excitement. However a demon's excitement was always different from a human's.
When demons first entered the world, they were as pure as a black-winged angel.
It was only after contamination that they took on the characteristics of human greed to an extreme level.
This was why even though demons came in many forms, they were as elegant as magicians and devilishly charming. They could trick humans without them noticing it.
"What a nice smell." Baili Jia Jue threw away the blood bag in his hand as he spoke with a deep voice. He stared straight at Helian Wei Wei and licked his lips.
Helian Wei Wei's heart sank.
Had the process started?
The complete loss of memory.
Her highness had forgotten her…
The wind outside was bone-chilling. When it hit her face it was so cold that it hurt.
Helian Wei Wei's fingers were stiff for a long while before she recovered. She did not move the scythe in her hand. Instead, she grabbed the blanket shawl beside her and strolled over. "It's cold here. Next time you come out, remember to wear something warm."
Baili Jia Jue's gaze deepened, he walked near his Helian Wei Wei and pulled her into his embrace. His tone was demonic as he said, "I see, so you are my feeder, no wonder you smell so great. But why did you bring me to such a place? You wanted to stop me from hunting? Huh, how naive."
"My spiritual aura can delay your demonization process in this no man's land." Helian Wei Wei looked at him directly in the eye. "You will not be able to find a single human within a few hundred miles from here. You will not be disturbed and you don't have to think about hunting. The blood bags in the tent will suffice for seven days. Now, come with me inside."
Chapter 1010 - A Test From His Highness
Baili Jia Jue smiled dangerously. "Did I hear you wrongly, are you ordering me around?"
"That's right. I'm giving you an order." Helian Wei Wei replied calmly while hugging him back. "Shouldn't demons like you obey their feeders?"
Baili Jia Jue paused, then he lifted Helian Wei Wei's chin and his fangs bit into her lips e.r.o.t.i.cally. "Yes, my master."
He could not wait to get a taste of her.
She had an unusual scent, her body emitted a nice smell of sandalwood.
Could she be the reincarnation of Buddha?
Heh, it did not matter as it was the same to him whoever it was.
Because he was really, really hungry now…
The two of them walked into the tent. Helian Wei Wei added some more wood into the fire and took out some wine and wine glasses from another box.
After passing a glass of wine to Baili Jia Jue, she wrapped herself in a blanket and nestled herself into Baili Jia Jue's arms.
Once again, Baili Jia Jue hesitated. Even if she was the reincarnation of Buddha, she would have stayed away from him out of fear. This strange woman was really something, not only did she not keep the distance, she even let him hug her in a matter-of-fact manner.
Was she not worried that he would bite into her throat out of control?
Nonetheless, he had to admit that the person in front of him was very smart. They both knew that he could not harm her in any way within this seven-day period.
"It's 6 a.m. now. Just in time to enjoy the sunrise together." A voice as clear as the water came from beside him.
Before Baili Jia Jue could react, she had kissed the corner of his lips.
The kiss fell on his fangs which made him feel hot and uneasy.
After all, a demon's fangs were its most erogenous zones.
Baili Jia Jue squinted his blood-red eyes but he did not say anything.
Helian Wei Wei did not care what he felt either. She held his hand and nestled in his body as she held the wine glass in her hand and looked at the glacier far away. A few hairs stuck out from her fluffy head.
Baili Jia Jue frowned and pressed the few outstanding hairs down.
He was stunned after doing that.
He had never been that close to anyone around him, even when that person was his targeted meal.
Baili Jia Jue wanted to tear her apart at this very moment. Her warm body made him feel frustrated.
She should not be behaving like that.
She should be like everyone else who pushed him away, it was best when they look terrified.
That way, he could easily feast on his prey.
She was so willing to die, he could not find a weak point to attack her.
How was she so relaxed?
Was she not worried at all that he might kill her?
Baili Jia Jue's fangs slid down Helian Wei Wei's neck. He felt satisfied when he felt her shudder. Her frail figure made him want to pin her down and take advantage of her!
"Looks like you liked my kiss, my master. You're really s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e."
The teasing in that sentence was clear. It was like a cold basin of water drenching Helian Wei Wei from head to toe. She raised her gaze and kissed the thin lips in front of her. "Humans are l.u.s.ty creatures, don't you demons know the best?"
Upon hearing that, Baili Jia Jue lifted one of his eyebrows. His d.e.s.i.r.e for blood got even stronger. "What a perfect soul. I can't wait to see what you'd look like before you die."
As he said this, he unbuttoned Helian Wei Wei's shirt and laughed lowly. "But before that, master, it seems like you would like me to continue kissing you. Do you want to give me another order? If it was you, master, I would be really happy to serve you. I could make you really, really happy…"
The man's low magnetic voice was filled with meaningful hints, his fingers held Helian Wei Wei's softness while his smile was so seductive.
He did not expect her to stop him. Her eyes were as bright as the morning star. "Thank you, but I don't want to do it now. Also, my dear Your Highness, you should not have s.e.x if there is no context of love. Don't try to relieve your frustration like that."
Baili Jia Jue squinted his eyes dangerously. "Looks like I've found myself a smart master."
"You're right." Helian Wei Wei reached out her hands and wrapped them around his neck as she kissed his defined chin. Then she buried her head into his arms, even though she had tried hard to suppress it, her voice was still coarse. "Don't play games with me and stop looking at me so coldly as if I am your enemy. I know you've forgotten everything, but I've been wanting to ask you something since a long time ago. Is it true that even my presence cannot quench your loneliness? Was I being selfish back then? When we were in Mount Tenya, I kept throwing you buns but you did not reject me. Your Highness, you are such a gentle person. But the more gentle you are, the more useless I feel. I kept thinking if I should not have stayed by your side, after all I could not do anything useful. But now I don't think so anymore, at least I c
ould feed you when you're hungry..."
Baili Jia Jue had never seen a human expressing her love in such a manner, it was as if she was reading off a script.
The blood churning in his c.h.e.s.t was becoming warmer and warmer, it was becoming unbearable. He pushed her aside and clenched his fists so tightly that the black fingers pierced his palm. He took a few deep breaths to rebalance his ghoulish aura, then only he laughed lowly, his smile bewitching. "My master, I was almost moved by your words. But what about you, what do you want? Tell me, I can fulfill all your wishes."
Helian Wei Wei looked at the black fog coming out from his eyes and spoke calmly. "You want to know what I wished for when we signed the contract, right?"
"Yes." Baili Jia Jue's smile seemed sinister at this moment. "If you love me that much, you wouldn't mind telling me what you wished for right?"
Helian Wei Wei poked at the fire in front of her. After a while, she lowered her head and spoke, "Can't you even wait for seven days? Every sentence you've uttered after waking up is for the sake of eating me."
"Hmm, it looks like you've got me." Baili Jia Jue straightened his body. His fingertips blackened further and his expression looked more devilish than before. "It seems like there is no need for us to live peacefully anymore. Why did you have to expose me? Isn't it better for you to die happier?"
Chapter 1011 - Trapped
Helian Wei Wei glanced at him. "Don't try to create false feelings. There can be hostility between us, we can also probe into one another, but please do not put up an act in front of me. If you want me to be happier, please put on this blanket."
As Helian Wei Wei spoke she stood up and hugged him. This time she wrapped him up with the blanket and her gaze was distant.
It was a first for Baili Jia Jue to meet a woman who could ignore his s.e.xiness. He laughed lowly and bent down as he put his thin lips to her ears. "Your body clearly likes me, I can feel it."
Helian Wei Wei looked up and said slowly, "Then do you feel my heart's affection for you too?"
