The Anarchic Consort
chapter-624

“Who said I’m unhappy?” The young man laughed out loud with his overly handsome face. “Can’t you see? I am happy, I have someone at my side now. Compared to you, she’s very obedient, and also much younger.”

Helian Wei Wei’s blood froze throughout her body, but the corners of her mouth were curved. “I didn’t know you were into this type, falling for someone so young.”

“We’re about the same age,” the young man said monotonously. “You’re just too old or rather, I should say that you’ve been the same age this whole time, never changing since then. Eight years are just a blink of an eye for you.”

Helian Wei Wei lowered her head, glancing at the iron chain beneath her feet. “So, who are you sending me off to?”

“Who do you want me to send you off to?” The young man’s voice turned cold.

Helian Wei Wei observed him for a while, and something crossed her mind, making her laugh suddenly. “I think Nangong Lie is not bad. As you can see, he’s handsome, nice to girls, and he has power and authority as well.”

Upon hearing her words, the young man’s gaze turned colder. “I truly underestimated you. Power and authority, huh.”

“Your Highness, you asked the question so I was merely answering your question.” Helian Wei Wei replied, lowering her head to pick up the iron chain. She tied it around herself and said seriously, “Okay, you can send me off now.”

The young man looked at her profoundly, and said in a low voice, “After eight years, this is what you want to tell me, you are so… Ah, never mind. Shadow, send her out.”

Helian Wei Wei was speechless.

Truth be told, she was a little startled.

Based on her deduction, he should be making her stay.

Why was the opposite happening?

Maybe she thought too simply of this issue.

After so many years, there were too many things that could not be predicted.

She was unable to see through the young man’s mind accurately anymore.

Helian Wei Wei was indeed kicked out, but because there were chains around her body, she attracted some attention from the people in the palace.

However, she could not just leave like this. After thinking about it, she said to Shadow, “Just now your master said that he wants to give me away to Nangong Lie, what is the direction to the Holy Worship Temple?”

Shadow glanced at her, but he did not say a word; his face looked a little tense.

“Little Shadow, your master denies me, but you should still accept me,” Helian Wei Wei said with a laugh. “Back then, you still had to call me Sister Wei.”

Shadow halted his footsteps, and he turned to look at her. “Things are different now.”

“What’s different?” Helian Wei Wei curved her thin lips.

Shadow lowered his pupils. “His Highness has fallen in love with another person. There are some things that you shouldn’t do anymore. Obey him a little more, and your situation will be better too.”

“Little Shadow, thanks for being so considerate to me.” Helian Wei Wei stretched her body, the iron chains clanking. “There are some things that I would still do even if he’s in love with someone else, but I’ll try to obey him more.”

Shadow hesitated a little before saying, “Are you really going to Young Master Lie’s?”

“His Highness wants me there. What if he gets angry at me for not going?” Helian Wei Wei’s finger twirled around the iron chains as though she was thinking about something.

Even though it seemed that way, for some reason he felt like His Highness would be even more unhappy if Sister Wei really went to Young Master Lie.

Shadow did not say this out loud, but instead, he just dropped her off at the Holy Worship Temple.

Nangong Lie was wearing the holy worship robe, pretending to practice divination. When he saw Helian Wei Wei arriving in chains, his narrow eyes widened. “What’s the meaning of this?”

“Didn’t you want a death knight? Well, I’m considered one.” Helian Wei Wei had been standing for so long that she was already tired, and she got herself a chair to sit down.

Nangong Lie was focusing on the chains around her instead, his eyes filled with mischief. He was very familiar with this type of chain; it was made of frost iron. He had bugged Ah Jue for it a few times, but he never gave it to him, yet now he had used it to tie a woman up…

“Young Master Lie, His Highness said if you’re unsatisfied, you may send her somewhere else.” Shadow immediately opened his mouth to speak, thinking that by saying this, the other person would understand his meaning. After all, Young Master Lie was one of the few people who understood his prince.

It was just that, unexpectedly, Nangong Lie started to laugh. “Why would I be unsatisfied? Ah Jue has sent me a beauty, I couldn’t be happier.” He would make her stay, even if it was only for the frost iron chain.

“Young Master Lie.” It seemed like Shadow had more to say.

Helian Wei Wei opened her mouth to speak, “Little Shadow, since Young Master Lie is satisfied, you should go back and report on completion of your task.”

“Yes, hurry back and report it.” The smile on Nangong Lie’s face was ever so bright. “Don’t forget to thank Ah Jue on my behalf.”

Seeing this, Shadow could only reply solemnly, “Yes.”

After he left, Nangong Lie turned his head to Helian Wei Wei. His long finger held her chin as he laughed. “So tell me, what can you do?”

“Beat people up,” Helian Wei Wei answered him, smiling faintly.

Nangong Lie’s smile stiffened, then he smiled again. “What were you thinking back then? You just pounced on him and kissed him, weren’t you scared that Ah Jue would kill you on the spot?”

“He won’t.” Helian Wei Wei could at least be sure of this one thing, but some situations were still out of her hands, such as him falling in love with someone else…

Nangong Lie’s phoenix eyes were wickedly seductive. “Did anything ever happen before between you and Ah Jue?”

“Absolutely nothing.” The soul fragments must be kept a secret from other people, so Helian Wei Wei’s tone remained calm.

Nangong Lie laughed coldly. “Do you think I’m blind? You and Ah Jue…”

“I also have another skill,” Helian Wei Wei interrupted him nonchalantly. “I’m good at wooing people, such as courting Qing Zhan, I’m the best at these things.”

Nangong Lie was instantly stunned, and he started stuttering, “I, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“The first step to courting a woman is to give her flowers.” Helian Wei Wei raised her brows. “Did you give Qing Zhan flowers?”

Nangong Lie’s face turned red. “Ha, ha, ha! Why would I give a little girl…”

Helian Wei Wei did not say anything, and she just looked at him.

Nangong Lie’s voice softened as if he was mumbling to himself, “What flowers should I give?”

Helian Wei Wei looked at the young man in front of her, the corners of her lips curved up into a smile. She thought, even though I can’t deal with His Highness, I can still deal with you, a bunch of youngsters who haven’t yet grown up!

“Roses. Giving a rose signifies the person is the only one, giving three means I love you. What do you think? How many do you want to give?”

Nangong Lie’s gaze wavered. “What ‘I love you’? I can’t say things like that, I’ll just give one flower.”

“Then, one flower it is.” Helian Wei Wei raised the corners of her mouth. For a young master who was a playboy, the meaning of giving one rose would be more significant than three…
