The Anarchic Consort

Chapter 759: Mistaken For The Phoenix Girl

“Those are carrion insects, don’t touch them. Once you touch them, you can’t get rid of them.” Old Li spoke in a low voice, making others feel the heaviness in his tone.

The exorcists stayed silent once again.

Ni Feng, the Eldest Young Lady of the Ni family who remained quiet all the time expressed her thoughts at this moment in a tender voice, “Old Li, are you referring to corpse bugs?”

“That’s right.” Old Li turned his head, looking as though he ran into a silver lining. “I can’t believe Young Lady Ni knew about the corpse bugs as well. You are indeed knowledgeable!”

Ni Feng smiled gently, the translucent white silk covering her face revealed an apparent beauty essence of a celestial being. “It’s nothing. As an exorcist, it’s common knowledge.”

Old Li knew that she was acting humble. Judging from the reaction of the exorcists around him, he could tell that the usual graveyard would not have corpse bugs due to two reasons, one was because the tomb was not dug deep enough and second, the timespan was not long enough.

It is unusual for her to know about this as only the frequent tomb raiders would get a chance to come in contact with corpse bugs directly.

Old Li dismissed the suspicious thoughts he had in his mind earlier.

It was probably due to the fact that he had robbed too many tombs, causing him to have a false perception.

The real reincarnation of Phoenix Girl was standing right before him, yet he still felt that the young man with fine and pure chiseled features was more alike the benefactor that appeared in his dream.

This...must be due to the signs of aging, causing his brain to be muddled up.

Old Li shook his head, not responding further. He stepped forward and lifted up the torch in his hand to illuminate the path in front of them, leaving behind a group of exorcists admiring Ni Feng.

“You deserve to be called the Phoenix Girl. You even know about this. If you manage to seize the Sarira this time, our team will give in willingly. Even if we end up being defeated by Young Lady Ni, we will still consider this a worthwhile trip.”

Upon witnessing the scene, Ni Hu who was looking pale showed a smile on his face immediately, feeling smug, with the tip of his eyebrows betraying him. He sneaked a peek at Helian Wei Wei and others before speaking leisurely, “My sister is knowledgeable but keeps a low profile. Unlike some other people here, who only know a little but keep showing off. Perhaps they are only good at talking but would be scared to death later when we really face a situation. Just like these corpse bugs, maybe some people are still having a headache, thinking of how to get rid of them.”

Everyone could tell who he meant based on his words.

The exorcists had to admit that Ni Hu made a point with his statement. After all, the incident just now was due to the environmental factors of the ancient tomb, allowing Zhuge Yun’s team to appear smarter in front of others. In actual fact, no one had ever witnessed them showing their abilities.

However, Helian Wei Wei’s team did not seem to be bothered by Ni Hu’s insults, especially His Highness. His field of vision could only occupy Helian Wei Wei and her alone. As for the other human beings, they were only dispensable food, even their souls did not even intrigue him to ruin them for they did not smell good.

Helian Wei Wei could not understand the reason why the facial expression of His Highness was similar to that of a picky cat. His appearance had a dignified aura surrounding him that spoke of elegance and arrogance, appearing like the younger him, the little and adorable His Highness. She felt the urge to carry him in her hands and pinch his face.

Helian Wei Wei did as she thought.

Baili Jia Jue was baffled with her pinching him. He raised his eyebrows slightly, exposing his devilishness. “It seems like you want me to help you cut your claws again, don’t you?”

Helian Wei Wei’s bright yet clear eyes carried a hint of a playful smile. “No, I feel like kissing you but we are surrounded by the crowd.” As she was aware that His Highness disliked being watched by others, thus, she was not worried about a ‘sneak attack’ by him. Therefore, she would have to make good use of the chance to flirt wantonly.

“You seem to be very pleased?” Baili Jia Jue showed a smile on his face, his deep voice emanated a hint of sexiness.

“Uh-huh.” Helian Wei Wei continued to move forward in a pleasant mood, assuming that His Highness would not get an opportunity to do anything to her. This retrieved her fond memory of teasing the little His Highness back then.

Baili Jia Jue did not stop her, he only bent his body a little. From the side angle, it looked perfectly fine but in fact, he was already very close to Helian Wei Wei. His long and thick eyelashes formed a shadow following his movements, filled with enchantment. “Just you wait. Wait till there is no one, by then I will fulfill your wish.”

Helian Wei Wei’s body stiffened.

Wasn’t I who was teasing him? Why does it feel like the other way round now?

Moreover, as far as she was concerned, His Highness was someone who walked the talk.

“Ahem.” Helian Wei Wei lowered her voice, using a volume where only the two of them could hear, saying, “Actually, it’s not a must to accomplish this matter.”

“How can it be? As a demon pet of my owner.” Baili Jia Jue gradually raised his last tone, exuding a sense of abstinence from head to toe. “Of course, I have to satisfy the need of the owner at all times.”

Helian Wei Wei thought to herself. That being said, he’s going to kiss me anyway.

No, that’s not right.

After all, Young Master Yun will continue to tag along with us.

I don’t see that His Highness will have a chance to make a move...

“Our Mother trusted the character of our Father too much.” The smaller fetus woke up gradually as he heard the noises from outside. His feeble voice was accompanied by a hint of a smile.

The bigger fetus stretched out his hands to protect the smaller one, responded back indifferently with a question, “Does our Father possess morality?”

The smaller fetus was rendered speechless.

Brother indeed dislikes our Father for he has started to insult him badly...

Unlike the family of four who was enjoying the overflowing happiness, the others were like headless flies, stood still in their original position not knowing which way to proceed.

This was due to the fact that they had discovered four means of entry, the four cardinal directions. Each point had a stone sculpture with the carving of infamous demon creatures in history. Regardless of choosing whichever direction, it would not be a desirable outcome.

Nevertheless, at this point, someone yelled all of a sudden, “Where is Xiao Zi and Guo Zi? Where...where are they?”

Xiao Zi and Guo Zi were the two disciples of the Ni family who had died not long ago.

Upon hearing the voice, Helian Wei Wei turned her head over immediately. The two corpses that were lying on the ground had seriously disappeared, leaving no trace behind.

How come they went missing? Could it be possible that they are other people in the graveyard other than us?

Or perhaps, they turned into moving corpses?

But even so, a moving corpse would still reveal one’s shadow, isn’t it?

Where are they then?

One question after another popped up.

The experienced exorcists were not worried at all. After all, if they really turned into moving corpses, they had the Chinese talismans with them to deal with this situation.

On the contrary, Ni Hu who was rather inexperienced seemed to feel a shiver down his spine, taking no notice of his legs and accidentally touch the corpse bugs behind the stone sculpture. The sound of loud creaks spread across the atmosphere!
