The Anarchic Consort
chapter-706

“No!” Old Lady Wang’s cries for mercy became howls.

Wang Ling closed both of his eyes, waiting for Helian Wei Wei’s dagger to cut down.

The evil spirit bowed its head laughingly, the angle around the corners of its mouth grew steeper.

As long as they do not kill me right now, soon afterwards, they will all die!

Very good, everything will end just like that!

However, to everyone’s surprise!

Helian Wei Wei suddenly averted her eyes, which was followed by rustling sounds!

Yan Liu’er who was initially unassuming was suddenly surrounded with daggers stabbing out from every direction!

Those daggers were different from typical daggers. They emitted a faint Light of Buddha, as if they could capture something.

Yan Liu’er widened both her eyes. Large drops of tears were rolling down her cheeks while her speech came out trembling, “This, this is?”

“Even now, you still want to pretend?” Helian Wei Wei spun the last dagger in her hand. In a distance toward her left, sat a black dog.

Yan Liu’er visibly shrunk her shoulders back, “My Lord, I don’t know what you’re saying, pretend? I’m not pretending.” As she was speaking, she glanced toward Baili Jia Jue, pitifully begging, “Your Highness, I really don’t know anything, I beg you, please save me!”

“Don’t know anything?” Helian Wei Wei smiled slightly as she walked toward her, until she was two steps away. “Since just now you’ve been avoiding the spot to my left-front side. Moreover, you were rather alert by constantly looking that way. The truth was that you weren’t hiding from Wang Ling, but from Blackie. The aua of resentment here is too strong, Blackie couldn’t confirm your presence, but your reaction explained everything, you’re afraid of Blackie!”

Yan Liu’er’s crying grew sadder. Tears muddled her vision as she spoke, “Ever since I was captured by Old Lady Wang, I was completely shocked. Now, even if it were just the wind blowing or grass rustling, I would be terrified, not because of Blackie which you, my Lord, spoke of. My Lord, have you ever been captured, do you know what it feels like? I thought I was dead for sure, I never imagined that Ling’er and the others were all kidnapped by Old Lady Wang from nextdoor. I definitely never expected that she would go against my will, and forced me to become the daughter-in-law of the Wang family! When I saw those corpses, my heart froze, I desperately wanted to scream for help, but Old Lady Wang had drugged my tea, besides feeling powerless, all I felt was despair. Even Wang Ling was simply helping his mother silently, I never thought that after all the help I gave to them, they would repay me with such ungrateful deeds! Yet now, my Lord is still pointing daggers at me? My Lord, aren’t you afraid of karma?”

“I’m not afraid.” Helian Wei Wei picked her ears lazily, her tone sounded monotonous as she continued, “Because your behaviour did not seem like a traumatized person, since the beginning I suspected it was you, under normal circumstances, kidnapped victims would have specific reactions after being saved, because one’s subconscious behaviours tend to be faster than their trains of thoughts, such as grabbing the saviors’ hands or diving right into the savior’s chest, under this kind of situation, one wouldn’t even consider the difference of genders. I was standing very close to you during that moment, not only did you not approach me, you immediately turned your attention toward Old Lady Wang, that did not seem like the behaviour of a victim that had just been rescued, but rather a response generated after much thought.”

Yan Liu’er’s eyes were red, she looked very helpless. “You’re saying my actions were generated after careful thoughts, what about Wang Ling, he refused to take off the wedding attire, isn’t that more suspicious?!”

Yan Liu’er’s voice was very hoarse as she spoke, right after that, she broke into tears. If it were anyone else who saw her, they would definitely think that this girl was very pitiful.

Alas, it was unfortunate because the one she was facing was Helian Wei Wei. “The reason why Wang Ling refused to take off his wedding outfit, being a person directly involved in this situation, you should know better than me. Did you think that I didn’t know the aura of resentment could shift based on its own consciousness, if I’m not mistaken, before the wedding outfits were burnt, you could freely shift. You’re smart, and skillful in using your advantages, as soon as you heard that I’m going to identify you, you immediately caused a commotion. You had possessed Yan Liu’er at first, then a portion of your aura of resentment was given out to influence Wang Ling, but your actual being had always been in Yan Liu’er’s body. When Wang Ling started speaking, it instantly distracted me to begin suspecting him instead of Liu’er, thus your goal was achieved. When the wedding outfits were burnt, although it affected a portion of your aura of resentment that was given out, as long as your actual being was kept safe, harvesting aura of resentment is no sweat for you.”

With reddened eyes, Yan Liu’er clenched her hands that were hidden under her long sleeves. “You’re going to kill me based on these assumptions? Have you ever thought, what if you killed the wrong person?”

“There are no what ifs, you are the hostile ghost.” Helian Wei Wei lifted the edge of her thin lips and gave a meaningful smile, “My guess is the second Yan Liu’er had put on her wedding gown, you concealed yourself within her body. When the ceremony was over, you would have completely invaded her body. No matter what we do, it would be impossible to exorcise you from her body. Old Lady Wang killed many people, but she did not fancy any of those girls, so you didn’t have the chance to possess anyone. Until you finally met Yan Liu’er, which was obvious that you took action immediately. However, you didn’t expect this golden opportunity would be interrupted, so you could only use the method of possessing Yan Liu’er. Hidden behind the bed mantel, you observe our movements. In the beginning when I was talking with Old Lady Wang, I already noticed the mantel behind her, at first I thought something was hidden inside it, which caused the distortion of the mantel. But now I realize, it wasn’t because something was hidden in there, but because you were standing there listening to our conversation.” At this point, Helian Wei Wei paused for a while. Her gaze was filled with cunningness when she continued, “Besides, you confessed just now, that you were drugged by Old Lady Wang. Even calling for help was difficult, which meant the drug that affected you would weaken your limb and turn your voice feeble, but you don’t look drugged, I didn’t know about this at first, now that you said it yourself, I’m absolutely convinced that you are the hostile ghost!”

Instantaneously, Yan Liu’er’s body stiffened, then she started laughing loudly. Her face was filled with indescribable madness, “I didn’t expect such a genius among the humans, but do you think you can exterminate me just by brute force? It doesn’t matter if the Exorcising Tribe was here, even the King of Hell could never do anything against me! Kill me along with this girl if you dare!”
