The Anarchic Consort

Her flushed face was burning up.

Helian Wei Wei did not expect to get such a reply.

He was the one and only person who would say this sort of thing with an impassive facial expression.

“Why? You didn’t sense it?” The young man caressed her waist with his fingers. He smiled sarcastically, which made him even more seductive, “Obviously you didn’t. You wouldn’t be sitting on top of me with that kind of posture if you had been cautious.”

If Baili Jia Jue had not mentioned it, Helian Wei Wei would not have realized how flirtatious her actions were at the moment.

Her hips were being held by him, appearing as though they were having an intimate moment…

Wait a second, I only did this to calm him down at first, why did everything become twisted after what he said!

“What else do you want to hear? Hmm?” The young man held her hands as he exerted some strength. As his thin lips glided across the back of her ear, Helian Wei Wei could feel the heat landing at her softest spot.

Helian Wei Wei’s heart was beating so fast that it felt like it was going to explode, “I don’t want to hear anything.” Right now, she only wanted to lift a blanket over herself and stay in there!

He had no experience at all, unbelievable… Unbelievable!

“Let me ask you instead, why do you care?” Baili Jia Jue reached out and pinched her chin. His handsome features came closer to her, “Let’s be completely clear about it.”

Helian Wei Wei paused for a moment and said, “Of course I care, you should know. If you’re not completely mine, I’d rather not want you.”

“What if I make you stay?” The young man’s eyes were at its brightest. It was as if he was holding every last breath for the one answer from her.

She looked at him and shook her head in a stiff manner.

The young man laughed, all the warmth of that moment was completely incinerated.

He thought the fact that she cared about the kiss would naturally mean that she liked him.

In reality, he was wrong.

The reason she cared was and would always be due to the fact that he was a fragment of that person.

That person had always been her one true love.

For that person, she would put herself in danger just to search for the Soul Fragments.

For that person, she would let go of everything that she could have gotten. Baili Jia Jue could have given her wealth and prosperity but she barely even acknowledged it.

He used to think that she would only like someone mature, someone who was gentle and with a good temperament.

Which was why he worked so hard to be nice.

Even though his efforts were rather useless.

He was still as sarcastic as ever whenever he saw her.

But now, he finally understood that no matter how he had changed, she could not care less.

Because her heart would only yearn for that person.

How obsessive.

Anyone would be touched by such obsession.

But it was not the case for Baili Jia Jue. His chest was heavy as though his lungs were filled with lead, weighing him down so much that he was unable to breathe.

Back then, she did not even say a word to him before she left.

He thought that she was a heartless woman. But the truth was that her heart already belonged to someone else…

He had never experienced such feelings before.

To become so battered and bruised from yearning for something unattainable. Yet he still tried with all his heart just so she would see him… for who he was.

“I might hate you after I follow you back. Would you still want to make me go back with you?” Baili Jia Jue’s voice was icy, like the frigid air from a winter’s night.

Additionally, his hands had moved up around her neck. It was enough to chill Helian Wei Wei to the bones in a blink of an eye.

The word ‘hate’ was like a sharp knife, threatening against her throat, she even felt pain when she spoke, “Even if you hate me, you must follow me back. Or else you will disappear forever.”

“Do you know why Fire Qilin isn’t with me now? That’s because even if I don’t return with you, I will not disappear. I have ample independent persona, it is just a matter of time before I can become what you desire.” Baili Jia Jue’s fingers exerted force from them, “Even so, you still want to leave right?”

Suddenly, Helian Wei Wei was struck by an intense headache.

She heard a frail voice from Fire Qilin, “We have a problem here, how’s the situation on your side? Are you having any problems? Why do I hear His Highness mentioning about having an independent persona and asking you to stay?”

“Let’s not talk about my side first, what happened on your side?” Helian Wei Wei was anxious, “Your voice doesn’t sound right.”

Fire Qilin was enduring pain as it answered, “People have been dying in the imperial palace and the aura of resentment had spread all over the Capital. While ordinary people cannot detect it, as a mythical beast, I am greatly affected by it. Especially when there is no Mysterious Ice Iron Chain to suppress the Green Dragon, it had shown signs of rampaging. Someone must be plotting something behind the scenes, probably attempting to subdue the Green Dragon in the absence of His Highness. So to destroy His Highness’s physical body.”

“Qilin.” Helian Wei Wei was clenching both hands, “Please burn the Red Soul Binding Rope around my wrist in a moment.” She had to go back to stop everything. If Baili Jia Jue’s physical body were gone, everything she had done would be meaningless.

Fire Qilin sighed and replied, “Alright.” If she had said so, the probability of the fragments returning would be very low…

…

“Who are you talking to?” Baili Jia Jue was intelligent to ask. At this age, certain aspects of him had been awakened. Especially when Fire Qilin was still his mythical beast and that Helian Wei Wei was obviously distracted. The young man squinted his eyes in suspicion, “Is it through that red rope around your wrist?”

Helian Wei Wei was shocked, she did not expect him to see such details.

“Your eyes were fixated on your left hand all this while.” Baili Jia Jue spoke with a cold glow from his eyes, “You are leaving me again, am I right?”

Helian Wei Wei hesitated for a second. She finally looked into his eyes in a determined manner and said, “I never wanted to leave you, I’ve only wanted to bring you back. Baili Jia Jue, you have to know this. To me, your past selves and your future selves will always be you. You cannot simply deny your future.”

The young man sneered as though he made a revelation. He loosened his hands suddenly. Despite everything, he was still a mere fragment.

He could never stop her from leaving.

Even from the beginning, he could not stop anything.

“Go then.” Baili Jia Jue’s voice was monotonous, it sounded almost calm. His deep beautiful eyes had turned dull, voided and shallow, like a lens that could not focus. All that was left was the emptiness from feeling lost and the hollow from his swelling hatred. “I hope you’ll be able to endure my hatred in the future…”

Helian Wei Wei wanted to say something but she realized that her throat could not make any sound. She watched as the figure of the young man gradually faded before her eyes. Her head went blank, followed by a familiar sense of dizziness which left her unable to tell north from south.

When she woke up again, she had returned to the place where everything started…
