The Anarchic Consort Novel - Chapter 214
Chapter 214: Martial Qi Competition
His Highness shouldn’t have bitten her fingers on purpose.
Although this man was one that had deep thoughts, but for the affairs between a male and female, he didn’t seem to think much about it.
According to her own experience, Helian Wei Wei felt that this type of men generally liked those gentle and docile women who were like white rabbits as they find more thrill and fun in bullying them.
Helian Wei Wei’s thoughts were not wrong, there were really quite a number of them who had these thoughts.
However, it had never crossed her mind that there was also another type of men, especially one called Baili Jia Jue.
What he liked to bully was not a little white rabbit but a lazy and untamed one like her.
The more difficult and challenging it was, the more he wanted to cut her claws.
The wind outside had calmed and a comfortable breeze blew by.
“Alright, you can eat the rest.”
These were specially prepared for her, of course Baili Jia Jue would not eat too much of it. Not to mention, he never liked to eat such things. Since he had already taken a sweet advantage, he would stop here for now.
The smarter the prey was, a slow and steady pace was needed to tackle it. Just like how one would gradually warm the water to stew the frogs in, he would gradually move forward.
As for the other obstructions, Baili Jia Jue narrowed his eyes and the tip of his tongue slipped over his fingertips.
When it was time, he would naturally strike on his own…
The clueless Helian Wei Wei at the other side still had no idea that he had such thoughts. It could be that she had been hungry for quite sometime now and when she saw the half piece of osmanthus cake in her hand, she simply opened her mouth and threw the remaining bit in. The entire manner in which she ate it was very elegant but her cheeks were still bulging at the moment.
This osmanthus cake was delicious, it was not overly sweet and it had just the right amount of honey that seemed to melt in her mouth. With this burst of delicacy in her mouth, Helian Wei Wei was relishing every moment of it and showed a satisfied expression.
Baili Jia Jue glanced at her and said, “That was what This Lord ate from.”
“Hmm?” Helian Wei Wei was still chewing happily and with her puffed up cheeks, she replied, “Didn’t you say that I could eat the rest?”
Baili Jia Jue glanced at her faintly, looking a bit helpless at the same time. He rested his forehead on his fingers and could only say, “I meant those left on the plate, forget it, just continue eating.”
She did not know why but Helian Wei Wei felt that the two words ‘forget it’ sounded as if he had another meaning behind it, it was as if he was insulting her IQ!
Looking at the small puffed up face in front of him, a smile fleeted and Baili Jia Jue quickly brought his fingers to his lips and covered it up with a few light coughs.
Helian Wei Wei naturally saw that he was making fun of her and she suddenly felt very vexed. Thinking how was it that whenever she was in front of this man here, her brains didn’t seem to function very well.
“If you want to laugh, just laugh then.” Helian Wei Wei leaned back and twisted her lips slightly.
Her little act of annoyance was clearly caught by the Third Prince with delight. He was thinking that this prey actually had weaknesses and if he could grasp them, one day, she would finally fall into his hands.
He was looking forward to her performance after their marriage.
Mmm, the golden cage bed in the palace should be of use then.
If she were to lay on it and let him slowly approach… mmm hmm, that would definitely be a very beautiful scene…
Ah.
His prey deserves only the best things, only then could he ‘offend’ her with ardent….
“Your Royal Highness, the carriage is about to enter the city.” Eunuch Sun had paid attention to the surroundings and although he did not want to interrupt, he had to remind his own master through the curtain: “In a few moments, the carriages that are returning to the academy would be heading off a different path ahead at the crossroads. Should this old slaves send Miss back to avoid rumours?”
This time round, without waiting for Baili Jia Jue to speak, Helian Wei Wei immediately dusted off all the crumbs of the osmanthus cake on her and flipped open the door curtain on her own. She smiled lightly and said, “Eunuch Sun, please lead the way, I have to go back.”
Eunuch Sun looked at Baili Jia Jue who was behind her and when he saw that his master did not have any reaction, only then did he nod and replied with relief, “Yes.”
Baili Jia Jue sipped at his tea in silence, only after Helian Wei Wei left did he look in the direction of Shadow.
Shadow immediately understood his master’s intent as he respectfully knelt and disappeared in the direction where Helian Wei Wei left.
From Third Prince’s carriage to her own carriage, it was actually just a short distance away. This was all due to Eunuch Sun’s careful consideration.
He had arranged everything from the beginning and had Helian Wei Wei’s carriage follow closely behind. This would make the change of carriages much more convenient.
Eunuch sun raised the door curtain for Helian Wei Wei, with a face full of smiles, “This is all thanks to Miss. Us slaves are all worried for His Highness, but we are not able to help him share his worries. We can only depend on Miss to help us.”
Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows and laughed, “I am also not able to help him share his worries, I am just stroking a tiger along it’s fur[1] only.”
Eunuch Sun was stunned for a moment, comparing His Highness to a tiger wasn’t very good, right?
Helian Wei Wei saw that he had not much of a reaction and she turned to enter her carriage.
“What is it?” Baili Jia Jue furrowed his brows when he saw that it had not even passed a quarter of an hour and Shadow had returned.
Shadow contemplated for a moment before he decided to divulge word for word on what Helian Wei Wei had said.
Baili Jia Jue scoffed, “She is rather clever.” To think that all that pacifying just now was just a farce, he had even thought that she was truly sincere.
This little thing, she doesn’t seem to be afraid that he, this tiger, would actually swallow her whole?
As he thought back on how she had dressed his wound so conscientiously…yet that was all actually just following Eunuch Sun’s advise…
Stroking him along his fur?
Between the both of them, who was the real prey?
It looks like someone was still unaware that her claws should be hidden away!
“Continue staring at her.” A glint in his eyes flashed by.
Shadow was somewhat trapped in his own thoughts. It had crossed his mind that if he had conveyed the words of Helian Wei Wei, His Highness would not spend so much effort and time on her. It looks like to him, she was the only one who receives such special attention. Her position was indeed very special.
Shadow was also thankful that for Helian Wei Wei’s existence. Because of her, his master was not concerned about all other affairs except for hers.
As Shadow looked at the carriage not far away, he let out a long sigh. Thankfully His Highness did not follow, otherwise, his presence would only be used to her advantage.
However, no one longer cared about all these because everyone was anticipating the next major event – the Martial Qi Competition! It was about to begin!
No matter if it was the students of the White Academy or the people of the four clans, everyone’s attention was on this competition. People were pouring in all their greatest efforts by training and cultivating the entire day and night, as the entire capital started to heat up in fervour. The streets started to be filled with many inconspicuous people clad in robes, as experts walked the streets with their favoured armaments, many were from far away that had made this trip specially. It could be seen how much influence this competition had as it drew crowds from afar.
And it was precisely this large sphere of influence that it had that Helian Wei Wei was banking on. It was time to rake in the money.
Since the Martial Qi Competition was about to begin, getting a good armament was essential for all these cultivators.
As the boss of Profound Heaven, naturally she would not let go of such a golden opportunity to do business.
It was time to pull in the fishing net…..
