The Anarchic Consort Novel - Chapter 329
Chapter 329: Encountered Upon Unlocking
In the meantime, Helian Wei Wei had found the source of the iron chain. She did not ask Baili Jia Jue why he was here.
She emerged with water dripping from her hair while carrying the dangling hairpin that she brought from the ground in her mouth. She was soaked thoroughly.
A chill menace surrounded the lake’s surface as the wind blew.
The Mysterious Ice Iron Chain in her hand felt extremely cold. It would be impossible for a normal person to hold it.
Helian Wei Wei’s eyes remained bright. It was not because she was in perfect health. On the contrary, she was on her period, and thus, she did not feel well.
However, she had to fulfill the promise that she had made to the Green Dragon.
Helian Wei Wei examined the iron lock. Her eyes were gleaming with coldness.
“Woman, use your martial Qi,” Yuan Ming uttered, “Otherwise, you will not be able to unlock the Mysterious Ice Iron Lock.”
Helian Wei Wei obeyed. Her fingers were slightly moving and her long sleeves fluttered. With her piercing voice, she ordered, “Under my command, I summon the power of the winds and clouds in the sky!”
Whoosh!
The surrounding fog dispersed reactively and the temperature of the Mysterious Ice Iron began to change.
Within that short period of time, Helian Wei Wei quickly fit the dangling hairpin into the lock and turned it twice, forming the clicking sound.
Just then, a thud sound was heard!
The iron lock had been unlocked!
It sank into the Green Dragon Lake along with the blood from Helian Wei Wei’s cut finger.
Plop. It shook the entire Green Dragon Lake.
Thump…
Thump!
The sounds were muffled as though someone’s heartbeat was reviving.
None of the students in the White Academy knew what was going on.
Everyone raised their heads and looked into the sky upon hearing this unusual commotion.
They could see the Green Dragon’s eyes suddenly tremored!
Viridescent light illuminated in its eyes. It was so mighty as if it could pierce through the ninth heaven, brewing storms.
At that very moment.
The teacher was totally dumbfounded and muttered, “This is the Green Dragon, one of the four ancient mythical beasts. The Green Dragon has awakened… It has truly awakened!”
Little Seventh Prince was still holding the wooden stick as he crouched in the corner, poking the Bloody Snake’s head. He raised his vibrant little face as he heard the news of the awakening of the Green Dragon. He muttered to himself, “Now that it’s awake, I can’t eat it anymore.”
Where are you, Dean? Please bring this child back!
The teacher almost burst into tears while the Little Seventh Prince’s expression remained unchanged for being slightly disappointed.
However, he did not forget to console the others even though he was disappointed. “It’s fine, teacher. We may not have the dragon meat, but we still have the snake meat.”
Who cares about that!
Speaking to the Little Seventh Prince is more difficult than to fight the dragon god!
Little Seventh Prince looked at the teacher with a confused expression. He wondered why his Third Brother was not back with his Third Aunt yet.
Is my Third Brother still thinking about helping me to fight over the dragon?
Hmm… It’s fine even if I can’t eat the dragon meat.
Needless to say, the Little Seventh Prince was really overthinking!
Among the students, only Yun Biluo’s expression was not quite right. However, she must not let anyone notice it.
Especially her bitten left hand. Fortunately, the teachers’ skills were still unpolished, hence, they might not realize it.
However, if Tu Sufeng was here, he would know that the emergence of the Bloody Snake was suspicious.
In fact, she would not have been able to summon the Bloody Snake to work for her by just relying on her ability.
Most importantly, in this situation… she had an ally.
Yun Biluo closed her eyes for a brief moment. When she looked up, the Green Dragon had broken free from the Mysterious Ice Iron Chain. It swung its tail and the water splashed in all directions.
Yun Biluo’s eyes blinked as she dashed toward the little one. With a quick turn, she brought him to the corner.
Little Seventh Prince looked at her angrily.
Yun Biluo had never met such a difficult child. However, she had predicted him to be much smarter than usual kids as he was His Highness’s brother.
She leaned weakly on the side. She then asked him with a smile, “Are you hurt?”
The Little Seventh Prince really could not understand. Why did she rush toward him abruptly in the midst of his deep thoughts?
But the next moment, he understood.
A slender figure was standing not far away. It was none other than his Third Brother.
Naturally, Yun Biluo had seen Baili Jia Jue. Her head was slightly tilted and her eyes were red. She quietly stared at the man who was approaching them as if her gaze was filled with a thousand words.
Helian Wei Wei landed on the ground as the pain in her abdomen worsened, leaving behind the Green Dragon to savor his long-lost freedom.
In the middle of the commotion, no one could see clearly.
But, Helian Wei Wei knew that the two of them had finally met.
“His Highness.” Yun Biluo was the first to speak. She stood up unsteadily as if she had spent a considerable amount of energy in saving the Little Seventh Prince.
The Little Seventh Prince expressed his innocence with his thick brows, frowning as usual.
Baili Jia Jue kept quiet and stared at Yun Biluo.
Helian Wei Wei caressed her wrist which was injured by the dragon’s claw as she was feeling a burning sensation now. She took a deep breath and suddenly felt that the weight had been lifted off her chest. She no longer owed him anything as the true owner had appeared.
In the future, they could live their own lives without interfering with each other’s life.
It seemed like the preparations she made were useless.
After all, it was not all in vain. If Baili Jia Jue insisted on making her stay as Yun Biluo’s shield, she still had ways to maneuver.
Regardless of whenever or wherever Helian Wei Wei was, she could always remain calm and analyzed the pros and cons of a situation within the shortest possible time.
However, Baili Jia Jue’s eyes were dark and deep. He was somewhat unfathomable.
Helian Wei Wei also did not pay much attention to her surroundings as the Green Dragon had stopped thrashing around.
The fog dispersed. Finally, everyone could see Helian Wei Wei who was standing in the middle of the yard.
How could this happen?
Wasn’t she swallowed and crushed by the dragon god?
Helian Jiao Er was stunned as she stared at Helian Wei Wei resentfully.
Helian Wei Wei was unconcerned and held her abdomen casually.
“Woman, are you feeling uncomfortable?” Mythological beasts were one with their contractual masters. Thus, Whitey knew Helian Wei Wei’s physical condition well enough.
Indeed, Helian Wei Wei was not feeling well. She had not properly nurtured her physical state and the Mysterious Ice Iron had taken away all the heat in her body. As a result, it caused her abdomen to be in extreme pain.
Hence, she could not care less about Helian Jiao Er.
However, Helian Jiao Er had always been persistent. She reached out her hands to support Yun Biluo. Then, she lowered her voice and accused Helian Wei Wei, “Elder sister, you shouldn’t have provoked the dragon god if you did not have the ability. Sister Yun was injured for saving the Seventh Prince and many of us were helpless because of the sudden appearance of the dragon god…”
