The Anarchic Consort

Chapter 120: Haul the Net to Make the Capture

Translator: Misty Cloud Editor: Misty Cloud

There were still some people who weren’t willing to believe this result, especially the ones who competed. If they lost to Helian Jiao Er, at least it would be comparatively easier for them to speak of the loss to others as it’d be easier to accept losing to her.

But losing to a good-for-nothing without martial qi...

Merely thinking about it made their hearts feel uncomfortable.

Helian Wei Wei certainly didn’t care whether they were comfortable with it or not as the corners of her mouth wore an indifferent smiling expression. Without paying attention to those gazes directed at her, she packed up some things and put away the treasure she just obtained, ‘Thousand Mechanism Umbrella’. She smugly changed her clothes and properly put on a disguise, then planned to go and collect her gambling winnings.

What could be more enjoyable than winning a competition, and even making money in the process.

While Wei Wei was walking, she was cheerfully whistling.

The result!

“What did you say? Two million taels?” Wei Wei looked at the bill in her hand. The always tranquil and calm eyes now contained faint ripples. “Somebody bet ten thousand taels on me?” And even in gold? Just who in the world was so sick! Didn’t they know she was a good-for-nothing! And they even bet money on her! ! !

The person who managed the gambling joint nodded his head as his body shrunk backward.

Yuan Ming ‘haha’ roared in laughter. “Bet one, pay ten, girl, this time you really fell head first!”

Wei Wei narrowed her eyes as she stroked her chin. Her eyebrows lifted as she asked about the person from the one who managed the gambling joint. “Who was the person who bet on me, do you still remember?”

He nodded his head. “I remember. That person had a head of red hair, was dressed in the best fabrics, and was on the second floor drinking tea.”

“Second floor?” A trace of light flashed in Wei Wei’s pair of eyes as she picked up her umbrella, turned around, and was planning to go upstairs.

The person who managed the bets sighed as he said. “Boss, do you really plan on bringing all of this money to that person?”

“How’s that possible?” Wei Wei was completely flabbergasted as she looked at him. “Where did you get this misconception?”

The manager hiccuped. “Then what’re you walking there for?” Looking to be captured? !

“I’m going...to haggle.” Wei Wei curved her lips into a smile, overflowing with a hint of evil influence.

Phoenix House’s second story was famed to have top-notch private rooms. All of the eople who could stay here in the last hour were the most wealthy and respectable young masters within the capital.

According to the waiter, that person already sat in that private room for the last twelve hours. The things he asked for were only the most expensive items. It seemed that the other party’s influence wasn’t small...

However, Wei Wei indeed could not imagine that within Armament City, besides those two people who partnered with her, who else could have such huge financial resources.

Wei Wei looked at the twin wood doors before her eyes, and politely knocked on it.

Immediately, from within came a deep and low, magnetic voice. Separated by the wood door, it was somewhat in distinct. “Come in.”

Only two simple words, yet it resembled the clang of metal and cry of birds when a top-notch double-edged sword was unsheathing, containing the texture of metal, virtually ordering people to serve.

Wei Wei thought to herself, this person must be an expert at bossing people around. When she haggled (beat down the price) in a moment, she must take out every bit of lordliness she possessed, and directly suppress the other party!

One couldn’t help but say at this point that a dream may be plump and perfect, but reality was actually bony and lacking.

At the moment when Wei Wei, filled with confidence, pushed opened the wood door, the person was half leaning against the decorative wooden couch and just happened to look up.

He indifferently switched hands, his hair was as dark as black ink while the clothes were as white as snow. His slender fingers hung on the light cyan porcelain teapot lid, taking advantage of the steam rising in spirals at that moment. Separated by the hazy fog, he was indistinct as he glanced at Wei Wei.

As she was looked at, Wei Wei’s entire scalp became numb, as if she was dropped into the middle of a ten thousand year old ice house all of a sudden. In a flash, she already became frozen and sluggish!

How could he be here?

Right now, the political situation was so chaotic. People from every clan were restless, wanting to get rid of the imperial clan all the time.

It’s not a bad idea for him to stay at the capital. Why would he run to Armament City without giving any notice. Was he not afraid he’d be met with an assassination!

Wait a minute!

It couldn’t be because he wanted to catch her that he came...

However, there’s nothing to worry about in regards to this matter. In any case, she already changed disguise. Even if Third Prince possessed magical power, it’d be impossible for him to recognize her with one glance.

Wei Wei thought to herself, as long as her disguise was perfect enough, he wouldn’t recognize her and wouldn’t do anything to an ‘unfamiliar man’.

Apparently her arrival disturbed his rest. His entire person seemed as if he was born from ice and snow, pure and noble, and flawless. He had a wickedly misleading kind of self-control, without any hint of his state of mind being leaked out.

He looked at her with a deeply hidden gaze, making a person unable to guess his mood, whether he was happy or angry.

“Come here.”

Huh? Wei Wei didn’t understand as she looked at him. Recovering her cool, her eyes that could talk was itching to see inside his mind.

Baili Jia Jue swept a glance at the closed door to the room, patiently keeping his temper down as he said once again. “Come here.”

Wei Wei’s brows jumped.

Why was Third Prince using this kind of tone of voice on a ‘male’ when he spoke?

Why was it...vaguely suggestive?

Was it truly as she suspected, he was a homosexual!

The more Wei Wei about it, the more it seemed possible, as she lightly smiled and curved her thin lips. “I think your distinguished self has misunderstood my identity. I’m the gambling joint’s boss and certainly am not some male escort.”

Male escort?

The fire qilin concealed in the Dark Illusory Space was puzzled. For what reason did this woman suddenly mention male escorts?

Did she not recognize master?

How can that be.

It’s only been two days since they saw each other, right?

Oh!

He’s got it. It’s because she’s in a disguise!

Heh, did she think that this disguise of hers could fool master?

She truly was too naive, goodness, when they were in Spirit Forest a long time ago, Master had already seen through her, alright? !

But, what the heck was the male escort about?

The fire qilin’s brows creased a bit tightly.

Actually, even Baili Jia Jue also looked up, and faced Wei Wei to glance at her again.

It would appear from his normal demeanor that he should not have recognized her.

Otherwise, based on Third Prince’s temper, when he first saw her, he should’ve already charged over, used his freezing skill directly, and she’d be dead instantly.

Yet now, he merely took another glance at her, and there was even a faint smile brewing within.

Wei Wei looked down and concealed the arc at the ends of her mouth, while she willed herself to be polite. She shouldn’t treat Third Prince with her former attitude. When doing business, one needed to have the manners of a businessman.

Baili Jia Jue watched that extremely estranged, polite expression of hers, and his eyes abruptly submerged, the ice-coldness within his pupils also immediately spread out rapidly. The hand grasping the teacup subsequently tightened extremely forcefully, almost crushing that porcelain cup between his fingers.

Wei Wei saw that the other party didn’t speak and even thought that she wasn’t detailed enough when she spoke, and bluntly explained clearly. “If your distinguished self could decrease the quantity of gold a bit, I could help find a few male escorts to serve you.”

Having heard what was said, the fire qilin drew in a breath!

This girl meant to say that...say that...his master.....

The fire qilin swallowed his saliva, simply didn’t dare to look at the side of his master’s face getting icier, it again was positive that that this girl was screwed!

“How about it?” Wei Wei felt that she was already very sincere as she used a devilish smile and looked at Baili Jia Jue with a look that said ‘I understand you’.

The young man also smiled and said in a pleasant voice layered with a bewitching coolness meant for deceivingly stirring up a person’s emotions. “Your way of doing things is very good, your words sound very enticing, however...” While Baili Jia Jue was speaking, he was also slowly facing Wei Wei as he walked over, the light in his eyes fiercely forcing her into a corner...
