The Anarchic Consort Chapter 675 - His Highness Is Participating Personally!

Chapter 675: His Highness Is Partic.i.p.ating Personally!

“Lord Liu, I’m the only volunteer! At the very least, I’ve learned some spells before!” the teenager said hurriedly. His face was pale and it was obvious that he was scared. However, despite the fear, he was determined to defend his own country!

Nevertheless, he would almost certainly lose his life!

As a scholar-official, Liu Yu could not bear to watch a young boy sending himself to an early grave.

Elder Xu Wu had definitely predicted Liu Yu’s reaction, and therefore, he pressed on.

Zongzheng Yu Er raised her concern in a m.u.f.fled tone as if she was worried for Helian Wei Wei, “If they fail to gather enough members to form a team, then will the Third Princess Consort automatically lose the game?”

“According to the compet.i.tion rules, yes, she will lose the game.” Elder Xu Wu spoke in a righteous tone as though the rules of the contest were fair. However, any sensible man could tell that the rules were only biased toward one of the two parties.

Zongzheng Yu Er wiped the corner of her mouth again with her handkerchief before she spoke in a worried tone, “In that case, I guess we have no other option. It seems that the War Dragon Dynasty is unable to send another representative.”

Listening to the conversation, the teenager got really anxious and cried, “Lord Liu!”

After a brief hesitation, Liu Yu gritted his teeth and said, “If that’s the case…”

Before he could continue, he was interrupted by a familiar graceful and fruity voice that came from the main seat. “I shall partic.i.p.ate, then.”

What?

Everyone turned their heads to find the source of the voice!

All eyes were fixed on Baili Jia Jue as he lowered his legs onto the ground and slowly rose to his feet. His black cloak cascaded down his back, all the way to his ankles. However, it was not dirtied by even a speck of dust. His perfect side profile resembled an intricate ice sculpture as it glowed brilliantly like a diamond, while his hair fluttered in the wind. He appeared like a deity who ruled the entire world!

His succinct statement sent the entire Great Hall into chaos!

Immediately, the ministers objected unanimously, “Your Highness, you must not!”

Liu Yu, too, expressed his disapproval. He knelt to the ground on one knee. “Your Highness, exorcism is different from martial Qi. This time, the hostile ghosts, that can possess humans, will be present as well, you…”

“So, the hostile ghosts will possess me?” A half smile was painted across Baili Jia Jue’s lips. “I’d like to see which hostile ghost has the guts to possess me.”

Liu Yu parted his lips as if he had something to say.

Meanwhile, Helian Wei Wei had already brought Baili Jia Jue into his position. “Later, you must stand behind me. I will be on the front line dealing with the hostile ghosts. Remember, never let the ghosts see you. Otherwise, with your beautiful face, the ghosts will probably rape you.”

Having heard this, Liu Yu was stunned. Raped? Is this even important now?

“Alright.” At this moment, His Highness was surprisingly obedient. He casually followed behind Helian Wei Wei as if he was waiting to be served, looking as elegant as always.

The little one shook his head and thought to himself, the Master has absolutely no shame. How can he be at ease and let Third Aunt fight alone in front while he hides behind her and absorb the aura of resentment?

Green Dragon and Fire Qilin knew exactly what was going on. Normally, the hostile ghosts would not appear in front of the Master. They would, after sensing the danger, immediately flee the scene.

However, since the Princess Consort would be s.h.i.+elding the Master, the hostile ghosts could barely detect his presence.

Then, the Master would only have to simply just stand there and bathe in the aura of resentment.

Although it is disrespectful to talk about the Master behind his back.

Certain habits that the Master have were indeed… too repugnant.

Baili Jia Jue was exceptionally calm. He threw a glimpse at them coldly before he said in an unvarying tone, “If you truly are capable, you can get someone to fetch you food too. Never mind about Little Seven, but Qilin, your embroidery skills aren’t half bad and it’s been hundreds of years. Where is your female mythological beast?”

Fire Qilin straightened its neck before it looked away as tears silently escaped its eyes.

Is it necessary to drop such a personal attack on me? Fire Qilin certainly knew that, to date, it had not found its other half! The Master must have mentioned about its desire to search for a female mythological beast with intention!

“Why are you crying?” Baili Jia Jue comforted it half-heartedly via his consciousness stream. “Otherwise, as a last resort, I’ll have Green Dragon marry you.”

What have I just heard? Fire Qilin thought to himself.

Meanwhile, Green Dragon thought, is the world going to end?

Helian Wei Wei turned around and looked at the two mythical beasts that had transformed into their human forms. She reckoned that His Highness’ statement had apparently triggered them and effectively plastered a terrified expression on the two wicked yet charming faces!

It is terrifying! The little one watched silently from aside. He had an intense urge to hug the Master’s thigh tightly. Therefore, he took a step forward with his short legs before he squatted by Baili Jia Jue’s feet.

Needless to say, outsiders were not able to see Fire Qilin and Green Dragon, and were oblivious to these conversations. They simply watched as the Third Prince stood in the center of the Great Hall. The ministers of the War Dragon Dynasty were distressed and anxious.

The Third Prince was unlike any of the other princes.

Once he made up his mind, no one could stop him.

However, the Third Prince had never been exposed to the Art of Yin and Yang in Exorcism.

If anything went wrong, what could the War Dragon Dynasty do?

Naturally, Zongzheng Yu Er did not want to see Baili Jia Jue in danger. At this moment, she could not help but remind him in a concerned tone, “Your Highness, the power of the hostile ghosts are very different. Once you are possessed, the consequences are inconceivable. I think it’s better for you to…”

“Yu Er,” Zongzheng Wen Ren interrupted her coldly. Standing upright in the center of the Great Hall, he gazed at Baili Jia Jue. “Since Brother Baili wants to give it a try, you shouldn’t try to persuade him. You should just stand aside and watch.”

Zongzheng Yu Er clenched her right fist. “Brother, you promised me that you would try your best to resolve the issue peacefully!”

“I always want to make peace with them. As long as Brother Baili promises to take you as his primary consort, then we can skip this match.” Zongzheng Wen Ren rose to his feet with his hands rested behind his back. Putting on an expressionless face, he added, “It solely depends on Brother Baili’s decision.”

Zongzheng Yu Er looked Baili Jia Jue expectantly.

However, that man had never once laid eyes on her since the beginning. He was busy stroking Helian Wei Wei’s silky hair. His side profile seemed so exquisite and attractive.

As if she was fed to the gills, Zongzheng Yu Er growled at Helian Wei Wei, “Third Princess Consort would rather put the Third Prince at risk than take a step back?”

Helian Wei Wei raised one of her brows and glanced at Zongzheng Yu Er. With an overpowering aura of a queen, she replied, “He is, in fact, the safest by my side. So, why should I take a step back? Furthermore, Princess Zongzheng, has your Imperial Mother never taught you not to s.n.a.t.c.h what doesn’t belong to you? Baili Jia Jue is mine. How many times do I have to repeat this until you understand? Huh?”

“Why do you have to think of me like that?” Zongzheng Yu Er bit her lower lip as she looked at Baili Jia Jue affectionately. “I merely don’t want His Highness to get hurt.”

For once, Baili Jia Jue finally glanced at Zongzheng Yu Er, but his gaze was ice cold and his tone was still flat as before. “People of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, if you want your princess alive, it’s better for you to keep her mouth shut.”
