Chapter 669: Wei Wei’s Turn To Summon The Reaper

Helian Wei Wei hesitated.

Baili Jia Jue’s graceful voice rang in her ears again. “If it doesn’t take no for an answer, then you should just let him stay.”

Upon listening to Baili Jia Jue’s words, Helian Wei Wei remained silent.

Meanwhile, Fire Qilin and Green Dragon, who were standing aside, exchanged looks.

An ordinary dog would not be able to wander in the netherworld without its life essence.

Moreover, it carried magic with it.

Evidently, the Alsatian was never an ordinary dog even when it was still alive.

Coupled with its swamping resentment during its death, it resulted in an extremely rare phenomenon for the Alsatian to absorb the grievance from heaven and earth. Once it was adopted by a master, it would then into a magical dog. Unlike the other mythical beasts, if the power of the magical dog was utilized wisely, one should be afraid of no demon from both the magical realm and Underworld.

In the past, the master would always want to tame these rare species to be his mounts.

However, this time, he decided to give this dog to his wife…

Helian Wei Wei only rescued the Alsatian out of convenience. She was not expecting anything in return. As she had a pet dog as well, she knew that the dogs were the most loyal animals. She only saved the dog out of courtesy. After listening to His Highness’ words, she was now considering his suggestion.

The malevolent prince could immediately read Helian Wei Wei’s mind. “If you don’t take it as your mount, sooner or later, it will not be able to control itself and lose its natural instinct.”

The Alsatian seemed to understand His Highness’ statement. As though it was agreeing to Baili Jia Jue, it leaned forward. At this moment, it was surrounded by the fog-like black aura.

Helian Wei Wei was flustered. So, who’s your master now? Why are you obeying His Highness? “Alright. But, Whitey lives in my Fantasy Space as well. Please do not fight with each other.”

The Alsatian nodded. The magic that was radiated from its body turned the environment freezing cold.

After Helian Wei Wei decided to keep the Alsatian, she acted promptly and bit her finger before the audience removed their gazes from Zongzheng Wen Ren. Immediately, three drops of blood dripped down her cut finger.

The Alsatian quivered as the dark aura around it intensified. Eventually, it was completely hidden by the black fog. When it reappeared, it was covered with thick dark fur while its size had increased by at least two-fold. At this moment, the Alsatian appeared like a respectable and prestigious king.

The only thing that remained the same was the dark fog that was exuded from its body. It was thicker than before and blended perfectly into the darkness.

Again, Green Dragon and Fire Qilin exchanged looks. This time, both the mythical beasts were astonished.

Unlike them, Baili Jia Jue remained indifferent as he threw a glimpse at the Alsatian.

The Alsatian nodded as it stood in front of Helian Wei Wei. Now, it was more evident that the Alsatian was trying to protect Helian Wei Wei. Its menacing beast instinct seemed to be able to scare away all ghosts and spirits.

After what had happened, Xuan Bing was unable to see the Alsatian anymore. He seemed to be embarrassed and his initially neatly-combed hair was now ruffled.

As a scholar-official of War Dragon Dynasty, Liu Yu finally proved his eloquence useful. “We have now witnessed Xuanyuan Kingdom’s skill in exorcism. He was able to subdue four reapers! Haha. He’s actually risking his own life for the contest.”

“Old Liu, you’re such a sweet-talker. From what I see, he tried to boast about his ability but failed to fulfill his exaggeration!” Xiong Jing guffawed. “Not only that, he had the audacity to ridicule our Third Princess Consort. But, in actual fact, he was the true coward!”

Xuan Bing clenched his teeth when he noticed that all eyes were fixed on him in a mocking manner.

Listening to the tittle-tattle around him, his face was flushed red. Then, he decided to lay the blame on the Alsatian. He defended himself loudly, “If the Alsatian didn’t appear out of nowhere, my formation wouldn’t have been ruined!”

“The Alsatian?” Elder Xu Wu furrowed his brows as he listened to Xuan Bing’s statement.

Xuan Bing replied in resentment, “Master, do you remember the pet I used to keep, the Alsatian? I raised and fed it, but this was how it repaid my kindness! It disturbed me even after it’s dead. Because of its appearance, the reapers had the chance to attack me.”

“I remember how you always brought it to the palace.” Slight anger was painted across Zongzheng Yu Er’s tiny face. She spoke in a righteous manner, “It’s so ungrateful! You should never keep a brute as your pet! It even attacked its master after it’s dead!”

Elder Xu Wu was not bothered about what happened during the contest. To him, the most important thing was to find a reason to protect the Xuanyuan Dynasty’s reputation.

At the very least, the appearance of the Alsatian could serve as a justification for Xuan Bing’s malperformance!

“So, that’s why you didn’t perform as well as usual. There was something hindering your act.” Elder Xu Wu stroke his beard, thinking that it was a good excuse for Xuan Bing’s substandard gig.

However, at this moment, Helian Wei Wei’s lips curled into a smile. “All the exorcists knows what exactly happened. Dogs are the most loyal and purest animals. Why did it come to you at this moment? Xuan Bing, do you think that you can hide all the inhumane felonies you’ve committed forever?”

“I have no idea what Third Princess Consort is talking about!” Xuan Bing exclaimed. Yet, he felt a pang of guilt deep within. It’s impossible for the woman to know what happened in the past!

Sensing the tense atmosphere, Elder Xu Wu quickly said, “That’s enough. Xuan Bing, your performance was below your usual standard. Go and take a rest first.” He understood clearly that Helian Wei Wei was making an insinuating remark. He would never allow her to reveal anything that could jeopardize their reputations.

“He lost because he performed below his usual standard? Are people of the Xuanyuan Kingdom born shameless?” The little one munched his dessert before he raised his head.

As the little one was savoring the desserts, the imperial official was afraid to return to his seat, worrying that the Seventh Prince would devour him as well.

The little one’s remarks were like a slap in Xuan Bing’s face. Feeling extremely embarrassed, Xuan Bing clenched his fists.

Zongzheng Yu Er chuckled in a graceful manner before she gazed at Little Seven. “The Little Seventh Prince is truly an innocent child. Xuan Bing has successfully summoned four reapers. If the Alsatian did not appear, he would’ve won the competition. Meanwhile, I wonder how many reapers can Third Princess Consort possibly summon? The competition has yet to be concluded and it’s definitely too early to call us a loser.”

“Princess is right. Being a citizen of Xuanyuan Kingdom, I never like to bicker over trivial matters. However, no one knows whether Third Princess Consort is capable of summoning the reapers. Yet, you are here mocking me. Little do we know, she might fail later!” Xuan Bing was confident that, even if he had not succeeded, he was still better than the Third Princess Consort who had never learned the Art of Exorcism!

Upon listening to this, the ministers of the War Dragon Empire were perturbed. After all, he was right about Third Princess Consort’s ability. It might be rather difficult for her to summon the reapers…
