The Anarchic Consort

“He is usually harsh on what he’s interested in and he’s passionate about giving training.”

The use of the term ‘training’ was a nice way to go about it. Its Master’s soul fragment would be more insane as compared to his completed soul… It did not know how the Princess Consort would be treated by its Master by then.

Helian Wei Wei gazed at Fire Qilin and smiled, “Qilin, what are you worrying about? If he is really interested in me, doesn’t that mean that I’ll be able to approach him faster and easier?”

Fire Qilin was stunned, it was not expecting such an answer. Its eyes shook with surprise and it laughed, “The way Princess Consort treats Master is extraordinary. We should get prepared now and send you there as soon as possible.”

“Wait.” Helian Wei Wei turned and summoned Whitey with a low voice, “Whitey, when I’m not around, please find out the person who casted this magic circle today. I have a feeling that things are not that simple.”

“The Princess Consort is right.” Fire Qilin nodded, “This kind of magic circle must have been casted by the Exorcising Tribe. When your soul leaves your body, someone else might plan a scheme on you, Princess Consort. The palace is not safe anymore. I will send you and His Highness to the Green Dragon Lake. It is time for the Green Dragon to know the situation that Master is in as well…”

At night, there was a faintly visible shadow tumbling around on the sparkling lake. The waves made by its movements were affecting the aquatic plants too.

Fire Qilin carried Helian Wei Wei and Baili Jia Jue on its back while walking steadily toward the dark shadow and shouted in a deep voice, “Green Dragon!’

The dark shadow traveled back swiftly and flew out from the lake into the misty air. It paused in the air and looked down at the visitors with an arrogant gaze. A glimpse of light flash across its eyes, “It’s you? What are you doing here?”

It disappeared during the war back then.

Green Dragon had always thought that Fire Qilin had betrayed their Master, which was why it was not showing good manners toward Fire Qilin.

It looked cruel and fierce right then, “I don’t care why you’re here, but since you’re here to seek for death, I shall fulfill your wish then!”

Green Dragon raised its claw and was about to attack.

Helian Wei Wei stopped it immediately with a calm voice, “Green Dragon, haven’t you been waiting for your master all this time? Well, he’s here now, so how can you not recognize him?”

“Master?” Green Dragon’s pupils went large and trembled vigorously. Its long white beard started to wave slightly as it stared at the man in black who was in Helian Wei Wei’s arms.

He had an indescribable figure and beautiful facial features even with his eyes closed. He was so perfect that even the stars could not be compared to him.

Green Dragon had almost forgotten to breathe, and its voice was shivering too, “It’s Master, he really is our master! But what happened to him?” It turned and stared at Fire Qilin, “What happened to Master? How did he get the residue of the Buddha light around his body?”

Fire Qilin steadied its voice, “It’s a long story. Now, Master has lost his soul partially and might turn into a fallen angel once again. We must gather all his soul fragments as soon as possible.”

“You knew that Master was still alive.” Green Dragon brushed its beard while listening to Fire Qilin.

Fire Qilin admitted, “When Master was betrayed, I knew that something was wrong. When I noticed the Divine Exorcism Seal had came down to the human realm, I started searching for Master’s rebirth clues and did not appear in the palace back then. All I knew afterward was that you were trapped in the Green Dragon Lake and Sky-swallowing Beast had gone missing.”

“Sky-swallowing Beast is dead.” Green Dragon lowered its gaze and took a quick glance at Baili Jia Jue, “As you know, we have seen the Sky-swallowing Beast in its beast form only. It was always staying by Master’s side since Master would always brought it along wherever he goes. However, when Master went missing and the Buddha asked it to take refuge in the Buddha, it refused. It then caused trouble everywhere and thus was beaten by 3,000 beams of Buddha Lights for 10 days continuously. In the end, it could not cope with it any longer and turned into ashes.”

Fire Qilin closed its eyes while shaking its head slightly, “No, my instinct tells me that Sky-swallowing Beast is still alive. When Master vanquished Sky-swallowing Beast, he gave his own blood to it. So as long as Master is still alive, the Sky-swallowing Beast will be alive too. We must try to recover Master as soon as possible!”

“What should I do?”

According to the historical records, Green Dragon belonged to the water element and Fire Qilin belonged to the fire element. Therefore, both of them would not get along well.

Once they meet, they would fight each other to death.

However, there was something others did not know.

They could work together better than any other beasts just for the sake of their Master.

Especially this pair of ancient mythical beasts, Green Dragon and Fire Qilin.

“I’ll be responsible for the surroundings while you keep an eye on the lake.” Fire Qilin lifted its gaze and looked toward the dawn sky, “Everything will be fine during the day, but surely there will be a lot of demons coming out from the crack once the sun descended. I’ll try my best to conceal Master’s presence, but you should know how attractive his blood is. So, I can only conceal for at most 30 days. After that, the demons will be able to detect the location Master’s body. By the time, we’ll have to fight against them. You will be responsible to look after the Princess Consort and Master’s bodies. Whatever happens, don’t ever leave the lake. Despite the demons, you have to beware of an exorcist from the capital too. Don’t ever be affected by his resentment magic.”

Green Dragon’s gaze deepened, “I got it, don’t worry. Even if I turn into an evil dragon, I will not anyone to get a chance to harm Master too.”

“The Princess Consort too.” Fire Qilin smiled, “She is our mistress.”

This was the first time that Fire Qilin acknowledged Helian Wei Wei in front of her.

It knew more than anyone else that without Helian Wei Wei, Master would have turned evil completely and finally become a walking corpse who only knew how to kill people.

Besides… it was impossible to find another person who was willing to suffer 32 Buddha Lights in Master’s place and cut her own wrist just to feed her blood to Master.

Fire Qilin lifted its gaze and bowed to Helian Wei Wei as a symbol of gratitude. It was so respectful that Green Dragon looked toward Helian Wei Wei once again.

Previously when Helian Wei Wei freed it from its chains, Green Dragon had felt that she was different from the other humans. After listening to what Fire Qilin said just now, it was even more surprised.

Because it never thought that its Master who was not interested in any woman would ever make any woman as their real mistress.

However, since Fire Qilin had already said that, she must be extraordinary to Master…

“Alright, it’s getting late.” Helian Wei Wei interrupted Green Dragon’s thoughts. She touched the side of Baili Jia Jue’s perfect face and bent down slightly to kiss him on his pale lips. After that, she stood up and said, “Let’s start now, Qilin. Send me to where he is.”
