The Anarchic Consort Novel - Chapter 405

Chapter 405: Sweet Moments Before The Reconciliation

A loud thud resonated across the atmosphere.

The deafening noise interrupted Shadow.

Sitting on the wooden chair, Baili Jia Jue threw an indifferent glimpse at the window before he ordered nonchalantly, “Continue.”

Shadow lowered his gaze. “Everything else seems normal. The magistrate released him without any further question and demand.”

From the side, Baili Jia Jue was wearing absolutely no emotion on his face as he listened to the tidings from Shadow. All of a sudden, his pupils dilated. “Where did the magistrate go afterward?”

Unexpected of this question from his master, Shadow was briefly stunned. After a short while, he replied, “Seemingly, he has gone to the Murong Residence.”

“So, it was Emperor Murong who led the city guards and directed the entire drama?” Baili Jia Jue, who was going to take a sip of his tea, paused his action.

“Yes,” replied Shadow.

Upon hearing that, Baili Jia Jue’s eyes deepened. Not capable of reading his master’s mind, Shadow continued to kneel on the ground and waited for his master’s subsequent command.

After a while, Baili Jia Jue lifted his pen to write a letter with, in fact, only a few words. Then, he said to Shadow, “Send this to the military base.”

Baili Jia Jue’s unusually cold and chilling tone made Shadow realize the significance of this letter. Earnestly, before he jumped out of the window, he replied, “Yes.” Unbeknownst to Shadow, the man outside the room was about to ambush the Third Prince.

Knock, knock, knock…

Someone was knocking on the door at an irregular tempo.

Baili Jia Jue was left alone in the room. He put down the scroll in his hand and walked toward the door. From the side, he looked as icy cold as before.

He opened the door; standing there was a student he could not recognize.

However, from the guy’s outfit, Baili Jia Jue could deduce that he was a student of the White Academy.

All of a sudden, the student grinned as he put on an eerie and strange curve on his lips. “Why are you still here? Someone died at the Superior Compound again and the dean has ordered everyone to gather in the teahouse. Hurry up and follow me.”

As the student spoke, he reached out, intending to grab Baili Jia Jue.

Nimbly, Baili Jia Jue avoided the student’s hand.

The student was stunned, obviously not expecting to meet a callous person like Baili Jia Jue.

The entire courtyard was spookily silent due to the absence of the students who had already been assembled in the teahouse. The only sound that echoed across the atmosphere was the thudding footsteps and their rapid heartbeats.

Occasionally, the wind swooshed by.

However, neither of them spoke a word.

It was evident that Baili Jia Jue had no intention to leave with the student.

Eventually, the student lost his patience. Wearing a sinister grin, he raised his head in a slow-motion manner. “You’re creating so much inconvenience. Since you are reluctant to follow me, I shall finish this here!”

“What are you going to finish? Are you going to get rid of yourself?” Baili Jia Jue glanced at the persistent rain, as though the rain was a greater concern to him compared to the student who was standing right before him.

Despite being a magical beast, he was dumbstruck by Baili Jia Jue’s attitude. Appearing piqued, he removed his hat to unveil a completely pale face and his dark hair that was swaying albeit the absence of wind. With a ferocious expression, he spoke, “It has been a long time since I last met a foolish person like you. But, that’s alright. Soon, you’ll find out what you bring upon yourself with your foolish decision!”

“Really?” Baili Jia Jue spoke in an indifferent and unvarying tone. He appeared to be rather distracted as though he was not bothered by the student’s presence at all.

The student maintained the eerie smile on his face, yet he was confused. For him, Baili Jia Jue was different from any other humans he met before.

Normally, people would be kneeling on the ground and plead for his mercy at this moment…

Forget it. This witless man here has not realized how terrifying I could be!

The student gritted his teeth as he emitted a pitch dark energy that slowly enveloped his body. Followed by that, his nose and his mouth disappeared, leaving a hollow on his face.

Baili Jia Jue gently rubbed his forehead as he smiled, yet his eyes were as cold as before. “Before you try to eat me, I have a question for you. Do you know there’s something called as bait in this world? You actually have the audacity to play with a bait. Haha!”

When Baili Jia Jue lifted his gaze, the student stumbled backward. The magical beast stared at the man in disbelief, “Who… who are you?”

That’s impossible. That can’t be him.

If that’s him, he would have exposed me a long time ago.

And the dead men mound… he would’ve dissolved it way earlier!

But, his eyes…

Baili Jia Jue looked on to the student from above in silence. With his teeth showing slightly on his handsome and pretty face, he approached the student at a relaxed pace.

His tall physique was covered in a white shirt, emitting a chilling and ruthless aura.

Upon seeing that, the student had the urge to run away immediately.

However, the student was stopped by the man single-handedly and the man extracted the magical beast from the student’s physical body mercilessly.

The Demon-Transforming Beast was completely horrified. It used its most strenuous effort, trying to throw itself into the thick fog. At the very least, it had to inform its master about the possible return of that man!

However, before it could move an inch, it was overwhelmed by a scorching heat.

The pain, which seemed to originate from the bottom of its veins, quickly swamped and consumed its whole body!

At this moment, Helian Wei Wei arrived and witnessed the gory scene.

The man’s hands were stained in blood as his black curly hair swayed in the air. Due to his waist-long hair, he resembled the God of darkness, so beautiful to the extent that he could easily attract all the gazes in the room. Beneath his eyes were an utter mockery. His savagery and ruthlessness were shown on his alluring lips that seemed to be able to enchant yet frighten all the magical beasts that were hiding deep within the academy.

Under the light, his face was close to perfection as it was masked under a natural yet cold expression.

However, Baili Jia Jue did not expect Helian Wei Wei to arrive at this instant. As though he was guilty of something, he quickly hid his hands behind his back.

Ha! That’s absurd.

Baili Jia Jue, who was always supercilious, now feared to be judged.

Indeed, he did not want his prey to witness his coldheartedness…

“Are you alright?” He heard a familiar voice that was coated with a hint of anxiety as she ran hastily toward him.

Baili Jia Jue’s gaze landed on Helian Wei Wei and, immediately, the fierceness in his eyes subsided as he wondered how much she had seen.

However, she approached him without any hesitation before she began to caress him. Then, she raised her head and asked in a solemn tone, “Can we conduct a friendly match when you’re free?”

She was being honest. Looking at His Highness’ brutality as he vanquished the magical beast single-handedly, she was keen to find out the limit of his strength via a friendly match. She was dying to know how he did that.

Baili Jia Jue’s put on an inconspicuous smile.

After witnessing his barbarity, a normal person would have deemed him as a monster.

She was the only exception. A girl who always wished to battle him.

“Sure,” Baili Jia Jue said nonchalantly, “What’s the bet?”

Helian Wei Wei answered, “Anything.” She was very eager to fight with the prince.

Baili Jia Jue stared at her. Suddenly, an idea flashed across his mind. With a naughty gaze, he said, “The loser will have to… warm the bed.”
