The Anarchic Consort

Chapter 388: Electing A Secondary Consort?

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Helian Wei Wei did not think that Baili Jia Jue had the time at the moment to investigate regarding the resentment with her.

The day to elect a secondary consort was just around the corner. Whether Baili Jia Jue wanted or not to have a secondary consort, he had to get it done.

Helian Wei Wei was feeling heavy in the head and the hot weather made it worse. Her back was all sweaty after only a few steps. This made her feel even more restless.

It did not feel great being out grilling in the sun, but it was also stuffy staying inside.

Helian Wei Wei had never imagined that she would miss the air conditioner from the 21st century.

Honestly speaking, she was a little hesitant.

If there really was a way to return to the modern world, then could she go back after settling the things here?

Helian Wei Wei had never thought about this ever since she came here as she had been used to making the best out of all things. Wherever she went, the first thing she had in mind was to adapt to the environment.

But now that she had such an intention, the thought would not go away.

Nevertheless, Helian Wei Wei managed to remain her extraordinarily reasonable self.

She knew that the most important matter then, was neither to stop the resentment nor thinking of returning to the modern world.

It was her body condition that mattered the most.

The night of the full moon was close at hand.

She had to prepare everything beforehand, so she had no reason to stall. She needed all the resources she could get, therefore she had already invited the Second Master Hei to meet up at the Trading Compound.

It was lunchtime when Helian Wei Wei entered the Trading Compound.

The people who were having their meals saw her and one after another, they looked away unconsciously, “No wonder the Emperor would want the Third Prince to re-elect a new consort. Just look at that Helian Wei Wei, her appearance is really, sigh!”

“So to say, Miss Yun still has her ways.” Someone answered, “Remember the last time when everyone was punished except for Miss Yun. Now you know who was really loved by the Third Prince...”

Suddenly, Helian Wei Wei’s chest felt heavy as the people continued with their chatter. It was most probably the feeling in her body again.

I really have enough of it.

Helian Wei Wei self-mocked as she smiled. She gulped down a cup of cold water and lifted her hand to fan herself. Then, a deep yet sweet voice sounded beside her ear, “Alone?”

Helian Wei Wei lifted her head and was welcomed with a pair of soft-looking, smiley eyes. Those eyes seemed to be the purest in the entire world. They were graceful, beautiful and as clear as water.

That person gave Helian Wei Wei a wide grin as if it could chill the heat of the summer, “Isn’t it boring listening to these people bickering?”

“A little.” Helian Wei Wei rested her chin on her hand and smirked, “But it’s quite fun. What does Master Wushuang think? It’s like watching a play, isn’t it?”

Jing Wushuang stopped for a second and continued with a laugh, “I thought my cover was perfect. You actually saw the truth in me, these people are indeed very interesting.”

A slight grin appeared on Helian Wei Wei’s face as she touched the other cup on the table with her teacup. “We always spoke of having tea together but we never had the time for it. Today’s my treat, Master Wushuang.”

“You can call me Wushuang,” Jing Wushuang’s soft and delicate voice was soothing. He shifted his gaze toward Helian Wei Wei’s wrist and coughed, “Is the multi-morphing umbrella easy to use?”

Helian Wei Wei agreed, “It’s rather easy to use, I did some modifications to it.”

“Really?” Jing Wushuang held out his hand, “Can you let me have a look?”

Helian Wei Wei did not refuse his request and with a flick of her finger, a black umbrella appeared in her hand.

Jing Wushuang took it from her and fidgeted with the handle. “No wonder you are the star owner of Wei Ze World, you even had the brains to think of this kind of modification.”

“You may play around with it.” Helian Wei Wei was not concerned, her martial Qi was different from the others. It would not affect her despite having any martial practice.

Jing Wushuang gave Helian Wei Wei a look and smiled, “You are the only one in the world who would consider martial practice and weapon assembly as playing around.” Finishing his sentence, he coughed slightly and the scents of medicine were in the air as he moved his sleeves.”That day outside the city, I thought you didn’t want to marry royalty.”

Helian Wei Wei knew which day he was talking about; it was the day she had used up all her means to escape from His Highness’ captivity. Lazily, she supported her chin, “Indeed, that day I didn’t want to.”

“Why did you change your mind then?” Jing Wushuang’s hand paused as he turned to look at Helian Wei Wei with a bigger grin now.

Helian Wei Wei would not tell a soul about her agreement with Baili Jia Jue, so she answered briefly, “I thought that the Third Prince was not a bad person, so I agreed to the marriage.”

“I see.” Jing Wushuang did not question further.

He had always been a person of moderation.

Moreover, he would not let people around him feel uncomfortable.

It must be because of the strong smell of books and medicine around him, making it seemed as though he could also slow down the time.

Even as he spoke nothing, he made people feel comfortable.

Helian Wei Wei yawned; she was feeling sleepy.

Jing Wushuang looked at her, “Tired?”

“A little bit.” Helian Wei Wei ended up resting on the wooden table.

Jing Wushuang stared into her eyes. “You didn’t get enough sleep lately, did you?”

“Yeah,” Helian Wei counted. She had three nightmares just last night and on top of that, she had been intermittently rejecting the heat from the Yab-Yum, so it was unavoidable that she had not been sleeping well.

Jing Wushuang lowered his gaze, his long lashes were thick and absolutely stunning. “Is it because the Third Prince is going to choose his secondary consort?”

“No.” Helian Wei Wei paused and smiled lightly. “It’s not because of him. It’s my own problem, probably because of the hot weather too.”

Jing Wushuang tasted a little of the tea from the cup, and spoke with his soft, smooth voice, “If you ever feel unhappy, you can always come to me for a cup of tea. Don’t be too hard on yourself, if you really dislike him marrying a secondary consort, you can speak out.”

“Thanks, but...” Helian Wei Wei gave it a thought but still gave a rather guarded answer, “Whether or not he wanted to marry a secondary consort, it’s the Third Prince’s business. I will not get myself involved.”

He was a prince and most probably would even become the emperor in the future.

Even if she could get involved this time.

What about the next time?

If everything would only work out when she was involved, then she would definitely become a woman like the Empress in the future – someone who was willing to do anything just to get the Emperor’s attention.

She did not want to become someone like that.

Therefore, she would not take part in these things.

As Baili Jia Jue was walking upstairs, he heard exactly the last sentence and his beautiful pair of eyes suddenly deepened...

Helian Wei Wei turned to look at him. In his white shirt and green robes, along with his slender, long legs, there was suddenly a gush of icy coldness added to the perfect inverted-triangle shaped body.

He took off his windbreaker and tossed it aside, then he turned his head and stared into Helian Wei Wei’s eyes. His gaze was clear yet as deep as the ocean and appeared slightly inky black as if it could really drown someone...
