The Anarchic Consort

One could easily see that it was a perilous scenario.

The surrounding atmosphere was heavily saturated with unsettling humidity.

Usually, this would only happen when the Gates of Hell were opened.

Under normal circumstances, no one sane would dare to ignite the Soul Returning Light unless the person had a death wish.

Initially, the reapers wanted to have a look to see who was reckless enough to bring the Path of Yin and Yang to the human realm, and were planning to capture them to the netherworld.

However, to their great surprise…

They were all absolutely dumbfounded when they arrived at the location.

Baili Jia Jue was standing in the thick, shrouding smog, with a hostile ghost being stepped under his feet. “Is there any problem?”

“No, no, no, no, no!” The reapers immediately fumbled ten meters backward and shook their heads nervously in unison. “Please continue, please! We’re just passing by!”

Those evil spirits cried and begged for their assistance. “Our lords, if you do not remove the Path of Yin and Yang, this person will murder all the ghosts here!”

The reapers exchanged knowing glances with one another and simultaneously looked up to the sky, pretending that they could not comprehend what the evil spirits were talking about.

The evil spirits were utterly dumbfounded…

“Alright.” Helian Wei Wei looked at the last Soul Returning Light and smiled, saying, “Jue, you can stop now. I think they won’t attack anymore.”

All the evil spirits stared at Baili Jia Jue and furiously nodded, looking extremely miserable.

His Highness smiled in return, saying, “Actually, I’m not someone that likes using violence. If you see me in the future, you better avoid me.”

Look at our completely bludgeoned and swollen faces, even our mother can’t recognize us anymore! You still have the nerve to say that you do not like using violence!

The evil spirits immediately burst into bitter tears.

Even the reapers looking from the side could seemingly feel the pain, so they dared not move any closer. It seemed that the Great Demon King was in a terrible mood today.

After laughing menacingly, Baili Jia Jue turned around to look at them. The dark mist emanating from him was flawlessly camouflaged against the dark, gloomy night sky. “Those of you over there, have you all done passing by?”

All the reapers shuddered violently in fear when addressed by the brutal demon. Immediately, they turned on their heels and fled, without taking a glance back.

Baili Jia Jue removed his ghoulish aura and looked at Helian Wei Wei gently. “They are really unfriendly.”

Helian Wei Wei coughed softly and thought to herself. They were already beaten so ruthlessly by you, yet you want them to be friendlier to you? Do you want them to actually kneel down and call you Lord Jue too?

“Master?” Bail Jia Jue’s silver ear twitched a little, his handsome face was so brilliant that the moonlight seemed to pale in comparison. He looked extremely adorable when he looked like he wanted to ask Helian Wei Wei what she was thinking about.

Helian Wei Wei hugged him and kneaded him happily. Then, she defended him overbearingly, “They were really unfriendly. If you see them again next time, don’t stop beating them.”

The reapers were rendered completely speechless by her unexpected remark…

Baili Jia Jue stretched out his hand and held Helian Wei Wei’s back, as the grin on his lips became tinged with wicked vileness.

That d*mn order!

It just can’t let me touch her to my heart’s content…

“That’s enough, there is another step left.” Helian Wei Wei nimbly moved her finger, turning the prayer beads into a scythe. It was the basic form of Phoenix Bone Scythe, while her phoenix blood could precipitate the soul.

Chen Zhendong, who was in charge of summoning her soul, felt that his head was becoming heavier while his body was cold and hot occasionally. Probably because his stomach was too painful, his knees buckled under and he collapsed on his side.

He had no idea what was happening.

His eyes could not open at all because of an unknown pressure.

He could feel that familiar aura was circling around him.

The person that he was too foolish to treasure…

Seemed to be beside him.

Chen Zhendong wanted to speak, but he realized that he was completely paralyzed. Only a glimmer of his consciousness was left, and even his eyes would not open.

She seemed to be keeping a distance from him purposely, without giving him a hug or kiss like usual when she saw him.

Instead, she merely stood beside him and wished him happiness softly.

Chen Zhendong clenched his finger tightly, but he still could not utter a word. It was as if he was having sleep paralysis, his consciousness was clear but his body could not respond at all.

She seemed to have misunderstood something, as she laughed into his ear and mumbled, “I know that you like Xiao Ziqiu a lot, but why did you not tell that? I thought that I’d told you that if you have someone that you like, I will definitely let you go. Why do you have to cause such a mess?”

When did I like Xiao Ziqiu?

Chen Zhendong could not make any sound, so he could not reveal his true feelings. He could only helplessly listen to her. “Actually, if you’ve told me earlier, you don’t have to be so annoyed every time you see me. Maybe I’m a stubborn and unreasonable person, my mind and reason are still sound. I’m not sure if you would believe me or not this time, but I really promise that I won’t threaten you using the Lan family. I won’t find you or cling to you anymore. Whether in this life or in the coming one, I’m certain that I can do it. So little brother Dong, don’t worry anymore…”

Little brother Dong.

It had been a long time since she last called him by this name.

She preferred to call his full name after they started their relationship.

She said that since they were a couple, they could no longer be mere buddies.

When she addressed him as such again, this meant that…

Chen Zhendong felt as if all his internal organs twisted in agony when he came to the cruel conclusion.

She would not find me or cling to me anymore…

This means that she’s breaking up with me.

Truth be told, hearing her breaking up with him…

Was something that he had wanted to avoid for posterity. Yet, he failed to do so.

Not just in this life, she even said that she doesn’t want to meet me in the next life as well?

In other words, from now onward, Chen Zhendong’s existence was not something special for her anymore.

She would no longer follow him around to take care of him like before.

She would also not extend her gorgeous hand at the dining table when doing business and said, “Zhendong has a weak stomach, I’ll drink for him instead.”

She even firmly refused to see him in the next life. Does this mean that she doesn’t want to come back to life?

Then, what should I do?

Chen Zhendong started to feel cold. His stomach was still cramping uncomfortably, while his chest felt as though it was being crushed by something, even his breathing had become strenuous. Why?

Why must she say something so cruel?

Can she not come back again?

Back to me?

Actually, how can she return to me again? After being treated so badly like that, she probably would never forgive me.

But, why must she even include the next life as well?

Is it impossible to have her back, even after sacrificing my lifespan?

Chen Zhendong did not know that Lan Ya said so because she witnessed the interaction between him and Xiao Ziqiu for the past two days.

Lan Ya had convinced herself so many times to let him go.

However, the reason to do it was the most convincing this time.

He let her see the stark difference of how gentle he was when seeing someone else.

When he was with Xiao Ziqiu, he would be so patient and gentle…
