The Anarchic Consort
chapter-1015

However, in the end, nothing was mentioned by Helian Wei Wei. She suddenly remembered the vivid look of him wanting to let her go but still holding onto her hands when she was searching for his soul fragments.

This time and that time were different.

He must have really forgotten about her.

Even if he regained his memory, she was still merely a soul who had a covenant with him.

"I need to sleep for a while. There is plenty of fresh blood in the wooden box out there. Open some bags to drink if you are hungry."

Baili Jia Jue knew clearly about Helian Wei Wei's health condition. He moved on to tear open one of the blood bags. He frowned upon seeing her breathing heavily at one side.

Helian Wei Wei's fever became worse at night. She seemed to experience fever, coughing or both. In fact, this could be the result of the lack of spiritual aura in the process of recovery after the wound was infected.

In any case, most demons would abstain from such a prey.

Demons loved waiting and would definitely clean their prey from head to toe before the feast.

Hence, she would be safe with him tonight.

He moved out from the coffin as he preferred not to lie with others. Then, he proceeded to lie in the tent with his hands behind his head.

Suddenly, a blanket covered him out of nowhere. A feeling of warmth diffused throughout his body by the time he opened his eyes.

Her body was still very warm or more precisely, it was scorching hot.

Baili Jia Jue wrinkled his eyebrows and gave her a devilish smirk. "Are you trying to throw yourself at me?

"It could be a fever because I'm feeling a bit cold," she replied. Helian Wei Wei wrapped her hands around his waist and continued talking in a deep voice, "You wouldn't get sick anyway so let's cuddle like this, but you have to keep the blanket on."

As a demon, Baili Jia Jue would never say no to his master. However, she was too silly to think of that. She could have instructed him to do anything, but she was reluctant to order him around.

"My master, you can command me to do anything," He lowered his head and kissed her neck, but at that moment, he could not help frowning.

Her body was burning.

Human beings could die from fever.

Baili Jia Jue lifted her face and asked in a stern manner, "Could you stop sleeping and find the medicine in your luggage? There must be medicine to cure human beings among those things that you have brought. Where is it? Let me take it for you."

"Below the… blood bags." She closed her eyes upon finishing her sentence.

Without wasting any time, Baili Jia Jue immediately stretched out his left hand and the wooden box teleported to him. He searched the bottom of the wooden box and took out a box of medicine that needed to be infused in water.

He thought that he might need hot water to infuse it. He boiled the water in a pail beside immediately with a gleam in his eyes.

When the medicine was ready, Baili Jia Jue tried using a mug to feed Helian Wei Wei, but eventually, he found it too troublesome. Hence, he decided to drink a mouthful of medicine and transfer it from mouth to mouth.

Finally, her condition was better the next day.

Helian Wei Wei knew that it was something other than the medicine that accelerated her recovery.

Although she was still weak, her body temperature had dropped significantly. Helian Wei Wei just could not figure out how he did that.

She knew how badly she looked with her body full of sweat and bloodstain on her windbreaker. However, it was out of her expectation to witness the mess in the tent after waking up from sleep.

Especially the water and wooden boxes which she had prepared wholeheartedly were no longer in their original shape.

The things were all over the place, especially the steaks and chocolate bars.

She rubbed the corner of her forehead to ease her headache. Pulling a blanket with her, she stood up and opened the tent cover. A beautiful sunrise was awaiting her outside.

Hoh Xil, a place 3,000 feet above the snow line.

A man was standing under the glorious radiance of the sun. His well-defined features stunningly resonated like an ice sculpture. His long hair was flowing out behind with pieces of snow covering it. His legs under the black cloack were nonchalantly stepping on the snow. A dark aura was emitting from him, surrounding him while fighting against the light.

Her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

He could face the sunlight fearlessly now.

It also meant that he was a step closer to becoming a demon.

Baili Jia Jue acknowledged her presence by strolling toward her. He reached out and grabbed Helian Wei Wei into his embrace. He placed his sharp fangs onto her lips. "Good morning, my master. I can sense that your spiritual aura has yet to recover. Thanks to those people in the Three Heavenly Realms! Even if I did not know what the next wish is, I can devour you before I leave this cold, uninhabited place."

"You will definitely feel cold all over your body if you are going to just stand outside here," Helian Wei Wei avoided his sarcastic tone and held his hands to blow two quick blasts of hot air into his palms. "Do you feel warmer?"

Baili Jia Jue's fingers twitched slightly from the unfamiliar warmth. He could sense the hollowness that resonated in his chest due to the sensation on his fingertips. That hollowness intensified his desire to destroy everything.

However, he resisted his desire, it was still daytime, not even nighttime yet.

When the fourth night arrived, he would further release his demonic aura.

Daytime was his rest time.

No matter how relentless he was, he would always reserve his kindness for Helian Wei Wei as that was the nature of a demon.

He could treat strangers in a graceful and cold manner, but he would always have infinite patience for the master especially toward a master like her.

She was nothing like every other human being he encountered in the past.

For no one would ever hold and warm his hands in this way.

Some thought that he might not need it, others might fear him.

However, she seemed to be fearless of being devoured by him.

"Thank you for the medicine yesterday," she said while hugging him. For unknown reasons, she was obsessed with the idea of cuddling him. "I am very happy," she added.

His thin lips came close behind her ears. Using his melodious voice, he uttered, "It's my pleasure to serve you. Anyway, an unhealthy body would not give me a great bite. Alright, let's eat something because your body needs it."

"So that's why you are doing this." She immediately lowered her tone.

"Why else would I do this?" he smirked.

He was right, what else could it be?

Helian Wei Wei looked down. Although she told herself not to care too much, it still hurt her heart a little. "Nothing much, but you turned the entire tent into a robbery scene for a pack of meds, that's quite weird."

Baili Jia Jue stopped for a moment.

Undeniably, according to a demon's aesthetic standards, he should have done it calmly.

At that instant, he seemed to have forgotten to care about the fine details.

Anyway, it was not a big deal.

What he wanted most, for the time being, was to take out the heart of this human before him, and eat it, bite by bite.
