The Anarchic Consort Novel - Chapter 745
Chapter 745: Magical Being, Getting Humiliated Again
“What’s wrong?” Old Xu was still confused as he looked at his companion.
The body in front of him exploded suddenly and hot fresh blood was splattering everywhere, even onto his face!
A sense of never-before felt terror overcame him like an invisible hand that was gripping onto Old Xu’s heart tight. He had never experienced such a feeling of oppression before.
His initial reaction was immense regret.
He could not even see the motions of that person clearly. Apart from the symbolically evil black feathers, all of the rest happened in a blur and deprived his vision.
“You, you aren’t human, you’re the de…” The name loomed in his mouth but a whole flock of vampire bats flew over from behind him before he could even shout it out loud!
It was as if every single bat was listening to their owner’s command. They flew over like a gust of black wind and went right through Old Xu’s body.
That long silhouette retreated slowly from the scene. With a slight smile, he said under his breath, “I hate it when people call me the devil, even though that’s who I am.”
Baili Jia Jue’s feet touched the ground and the fluttering of the black feathers stopped. He took two steps forward before he noticed the bloodstains on his hands. He paused elegantly and took off his gloves before tossing them onto Old Xu’s dead body.
The blood-sucking bats began to flee. Each of them flew around him yet none of them dared to get too close, they just came together in a flock excitedly.
Baili Jia Jue stood in the midst of those blood-sucking bats, his deep eyes were as dark as ink as the wind was whipping his fur coat as well as fanning his waist-long hair. Coupled with the light of dusk, a noble yet evil aura was exuded from him.
“Alright, all of you can return.” Baili Jia Jue wiped his hands with a white handkerchief, his voice was nonchalant as ever.
The flock of blood-sucking bats scattered around with hissing noises, each one falling to the ground, looking very much like they were worshipping him.
Zhuge Yun had no idea of the situation. All he could think of was to offer him help when he heard the noises.
Before he could even walk, he noticed Baili Jia Jue who was walking back, completely unharmed. His face was still suffocatingly handsome and his body was also clean and tidy. It seemed like he even cleaned his hands.
“The two little rats were too sneaky, dealing with them took me some time.” Baili Jia Jue laughed, his actions extremely elegant. “We can now continue forward.”
Zhuge Yun widened his eyes upon hearing that. How can this man be this relaxed?
“Didn’t you notice the blood-sucking bats flying over our heads!?” Zhuge Yun asked with a lowered voice as he was worried that he might attract the attention of the bats by being loud.
Baili Jia Jue tidied his sleeves calmly. “Nope.”
“That’s impossible!” Zhuge Yun turned his head to face Helian Wei Wei. “Brother Wei, they were flying from here to that direction, right?”
Helian Wei Wei was occupied by playing with the strawberry in her hand. With a slight smile, she replied, “Really? How come I didn’t see that?”
“Ah?” Zhuge Yun was stupefied as he forcefully rubbed his eyes. Perhaps it was a hallucination? But I clearly saw that the flock of blood-sucking bats had flown there from here!
Helian Wei Wei stopped looking at the mumbling youngster with a frown, she placed her eyes on Baili Jia Jue instead, “Have you dealt with it?”
Baili Jia Jue murmured his assent indifferently before pulling her to him.
The two of them understood each other mutually.
Helian Wei Wei touched her nose, her fingers moving across the map, “The stench of blood is a little strong.” Her sense of smell became very sensitive after she was pregnant.
Baili Jia Jue looked at her helpless expression and a flicker of gentleness sparked across his eyes. He kissed her head, his voice was somewhat tinged with chagrin, “There was no place to wash, there were only trees nearby, but I’ve wiped it clean. The stench will fade after a while.”
Helian Wei Wei was rendered speechless.
She was merely commenting on it yet it somehow triggered His Highness. It seems like His Highness’ mysophobia is acting up again.
However, just how on earth did he kill them? Only Zhuge Yun that upright youngster could not notice the dense and pungent stench of blood.
Apart from the stench of blood, there was also the familiar smell of sandalwood and mint from his body. The mixture did not make Helian Wei Wei uncomfortable so she leaned over and returned his kiss.
Baili Jia Jue’s eyes darkened imperceptibly, suddenly feeling that Zhuge Yun behind them was a bit of a nuisance.
Zhuge Yun did not notice that he had become quite a lightbulb. His mind was still occupied with the issue of whether he was hallucinating just now.
He could not figure it out so he shook his head and rushed to the front and said, “We will reach this mountain’s only waterfall after we pass through the forest. My father once told me that there are some magical beings deep asleep there. It’s best if we don’t wake them up when we’re there later.”
“Alright.” Helian Wei Wei agreed readily.
Nonetheless, she still chose to continue on the nearest route when they reached there.
Zhuge Yun’s heart was once again filled with anxiety and he was on guard against the appearance of those magical beings every single second. The Chinese talisman never left his hand as he was walking upstream of the waterfall.
However, he was unaware of what was happening when he was looking down at the Chinese talisman.
That magical being had already come face to face with His Highness.
It turned out that the magical being had long since picked up the scent of humans. It laid itself on the water surface while curling its long spiked tail as it waited for someone to walk over and fall into its trap.
It intended to feast on that pregnant woman.
Humans might get affected by disguises and thus lose the ability of judgment.
Unlike humans, it only took one look for it to notice that one of these three humans was a woman dressed as a man and she was pregnant.
It even picked up the scent of the fetus. It would be a delicious meal indeed.
She is such a rarity in the mortal realm! Only a few people would have an abundance of spiritual aura similar to this fetus.
It’s probably because both his parents are exorcists, which explains why such a treasure is created.
The more the magical being thought about this, the more it drooled, it could barely control its appetite. It swam over swiftly while swishing its long tail.
Unexpectedly, a pair of eyes filled with devilish aura came face to face with the magical being as it began to surface. A flicker of golden light passed through those eyes that were initially as black as the night sky when the magical being showed itself.
He… isn’t he…
“King…”
The magical being’s voice trembled the initial excitement that caused it to bare its fangs was gone due to the man’s presence. It drew itself back while shaking like a leaf as it was terrified that the man might just pluck out its magic book on a whim.
“Get lost!” One single phrase.
The magical being swam faster than fish in the water, it did not even dare to turn its head around!
On this side, Zhuge Yun was still on guard. He would never have guessed that the danger was resolved and all it took was for His Highness to show his face.
On a different route at the same time, the father and son of Ni family were smiling triumphantly upon hearing the commotion from this side and thought that their plan had worked…
