The Anarchic Consort

All she heard was a ‘clack’.

Her arms were bound by a beautifully made chain.

It was a Restrictive Iron Lock, a mythical weapon used to imprison martial artists.

It is said that there are mostly three of these in the entire War Dragon Empire, and each of them are priceless.

Helian Wei Wei was someone who practiced martial arts, thus she was most familiar with the function of this kind of thing.

Was he seriously planning to lock her up?

Helian Wei Wei frowned.

She felt a slight chill on her wrist as he slowly touched her skin, “Look, it suits you well.” His voice was still deep and calm, with a hint of comfort like the warm spring winds.

However, Helian Wei Wei could hear the danger hiding beneath that faint and gentle voice.

The gaze in her eyes darkened and her voice turned cold, “No one will like this sort of suitability, Your Highness. Is this how you treat an ally? But it seems like I still have some value, or else you wouldn’t have locked me up with something this expensive.”

Her current situation was not the outcome she wanted to see.

But it was precisely a certain prince’s fetish which seemed to be rather serious that made her suffer from a headache.

It was probably only him who could give off the feeling of an unapproachable coldness and handsomeness when he’s locking someone up with an iron lock.

Seriously, who’s the one at fault here.

Helian Wei Wei complained inside her head but she was still unwilling to be antagonistic with Baili Jia Jue.

“What do you need me for? You might as well say it directly so we can end on good terms.” Helian Wei Wei decided to speak her mind, thinking that things would be better if she was frank.

However, she didn’t expect Baili Jia Jue’s gaze to become colder when she finished speaking.

Huh.

End on good terms.

He looked up and gazed at her calm expression, as if she was trying to negotiate with him. For a moment there he really hated this look.

He was never in her eyes… never.

Baili Jia Jue smiled, but that smile was not genuine, “It won’t ever end on good terms. What I want can only stay by my side.”

“So Your Highness decided to use such a trick?” Helian Wei Wei shook the lock on her wrist and gave a teasing wink.

Baili Jia Jue’s back stiffened and he clenched his fists tightly underneath the blanket.

Since when did he need to use such a method to keep a woman.

Even if it’s not his usual style of doing things…

As the proud Third Prince of the War Dragon Empire, the noblest of the nobles, when did someone reject his request?

Yet, Helian Wei Wei was that exception.

He had the confidence to control everything but… he was helpless against her.

“What? You feel this method is despicable?” His voice was deep and low yet with a hint of laughter. The breeze blew through his black hair which covered up his beautiful eyes, “Indeed I am a despicable person, much different from what you imagined your deskmate to be. Do you think you can escape now that you have found out about it?” He chuckled.

Helian Wei Wei couldn’t help but stare into his black eyes when she heard the mention of deskmate. The usual transparency had disappeared and was replaced by a biting cold.

She could even feel the cold air clearly as he neared, as well as the rather chilly breath coming from him.

Helian Wei Wei was stunned and her hand paused in mid-air. For some reason, she felt something mixed in those cold words, there was a sense of sadness within them; it sounded desperate and gave a feeling of… loneliness.

Countless oil lamps crashed behind him.

The wooden table shook violently because of him, and the wind howled.

He was angry.

Maybe this time, he would really choke her to death.

But after a while, those boiling rage did not befall on her.

Fire Qilin stood outside. He understood more than anyone that vibration from the blood, almost bursting from its veins and hot enough to scorch his heart!

He didn’t understand what was going on, but the only thing he could be sure of was that this burning sadness was coming from his furious master!

The doors and windows inside the room clanged in the darkness as the winds roared like wild beasts outside.

Suddenly, a great gust of wind blew and in a flash, a glass window slammed into the window lattice…

Baili Jia Jue was directly under it!

Helian Wei Wei was shocked. She raised her head and looked up at it, she didn’t care if he was still angry.

She dove and changed their positions in a flash.

At the same time, a ‘clang’ sound was heard from behind, followed by something large shattering…

That glass window was nothing but sharp pieces when it slammed onto Helian Wei Wei’s arched back. The ground was filled with shattered glass as lighting lit up the room.

Baili Jia Jue was distracted for a moment and the winds stopped.

He looked at her, forgetting to move for a moment.

Helian Wei Wei supported her own body with one hand as the chain clanged, she growled at Baili Jie Jue, “If you can control the weather, then you can dodge it as well! B*stard, you think you can do as you like just because you’re handsome?”

That snapped Baili Jia Jue out of his trance. He lifted her up and as if he was anxious, he touched her back with his fingers.

Helian Wei Wei shook and once again stopped his hand, “What are you doing?”

“Take your hands off.” Those words couldn’t be any more overbearing.

Helian Wei Wei frowned, is this how he treats his savior?

But the gentleness in his fingers were very much different from his tone.

Helian Wei Wei’s back was not really hurt since she had done numerous trainings and knew which stance to be in to block when something heavy came crashing down to minimize the damage.

But being checked like this after getting stripped, she felt as if she was a daily necessity.

She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

As if he was finally done with his checks, Baili Jia Jue looked at the silky smooth back in front of him and gently pulled her into his grasp with his chin almost touching her head, his voice mixed with a barely distinguishable growl, “Wait for me here.”

As Helian Wei Wei looked at how he seemed to be prepared to leave, she raised a brow. At this point, he is still unwilling to release her from this thing?

Baili Jia Jue seemed to be in a hurry and with a wave of his long sleeve, ordered Shadow who was hiding outside, “Look after the princess consort.”

“As you command.” Shadow’s face was filled with shock for quite a while already. Seeing his master disappear quickly into the night, he mumbled, “Judging by His Highness’ expression, he seems to have guessed that Miss Yun has returned…”

When she heard what was going on outside, Helian Wei Wei laughed as she lay on the bed.

I see.

Isn’t his reaction a bit too delayed?

Helian Wei Wei moved the lock on her wrist mockingly as she stared at the dangling ornament that laid on the floor…
