The Anarchic Consort (Book 1)

576-580

"He is usually harsh on what he's interested in and he's passionate about giving training."

The use of the term 'training' was a nice way to go about it. Its Master's soul fragment would be more insane as compared to his completed soul... It did not know how the Princess Consort would be treated by its Master by then.

Helian Wei Wei gazed at Fire Qilin and smiled, "Qilin, what are you worrying about? If he is really interested in me, doesn't that mean that I'll be able to approach him faster and easier?"

Fire Qilin was stunned, it was not expecting such an answer. Its eyes shook with surprise and it laughed, "The way Princess Consort treats Master is extraordinary. We should get prepared now and send you there as soon as possible."

"Wait." Helian Wei Wei turned and summoned Whitey with a low voice, "Whitey, when I'm not around, please find out the person who casted this magic circle today. I have a feeling that things are not that simple."

"The Princess Consort is right." Fire Qilin nodded, "This kind of magic circle must have been casted by the Exorcising Tribe. When your soul leaves your body, someone else might plan a scheme on you, Princess Consort. The palace is not safe anymore. I will send you and His Highness to the Green Dragon Lake. It is time for the Green Dragon to know the situation that Master is in as well..."

At night, there was a faintly visible shadow tumbling around on the sparkling lake. The waves made by its movements were affecting the aquatic plants too.

Fire Qilin carried Helian Wei Wei and Baili Jia Jue on its back while walking steadily toward the dark shadow and shouted in a deep voice, "Green Dragon!'

The dark shadow traveled back swiftly and flew out from the lake into the misty air. It paused in the air and looked down at the visitors with an arrogant gaze. A glimpse of light flash across its eyes, "It's you? What are you doing here?"

It disappeared during the war back then.

Green Dragon had always thought that Fire Qilin had betrayed their Master, which was why it was not showing good manners toward Fire Qilin.

It looked cruel and fierce right then, "I don't care why you're here, but since you're here to seek for death, I shall fulfill your wish then!"

Green Dragon raised its claw and was about to attack.

Helian Wei Wei stopped it immediately with a calm voice, "Green Dragon, haven't you been waiting for your master all this time? Well, he's here now, so how can you not recognize him?"

"Master?" Green Dragon's pupils went large and trembled vigorously. Its long white beard started to wave slightly as it stared at the man in black who was in Helian Wei Wei's arms.

He had an indescribable figure and beautiful facial features even with his eyes closed. He was so perfect that even the stars could not be compared to him.

Green Dragon had almost forgotten to breathe, and its voice was shivering too, "It's Master, he really is our master! But what happened to him?" It turned and stared at Fire Qilin, "What happened to Master? How did he get the residue of the Buddha light around his body?"

Fire Qilin steadied its voice, "It's a long story. Now, Master has lost his soul partially and might turn into a fallen angel once again. We must gather all his soul fragments as soon as possible."

"You knew that Master was still alive." Green Dragon brushed its beard while listening to Fire Qilin.

Fire Qilin admitted, "When Master was betrayed, I knew that something was wrong. When I noticed the Divine Exorcism Seal had came down to the human realm, I started searching for Master's rebirth clues and did not appear in the palace back then. All I knew afterward was that you were trapped in the Green Dragon Lake and Sky-swallowing Beast had gone missing."
