The Anarchic Consort (Book 1)

671-675

"I reckon that you can remember the look on Blackie's face before he died," Helian Wei Wei said as she stepped forward and caressed the Alsatian's head. She threw a glimpse at Xuan Bing before she spoke with an indifferent and unvarying tone at a moderate pace, "You broke its leg before you kicked and fractured its ribs. The repartee between you and Princess Zongzheng was amusing as you talked about how you raised and fed it. You are able to remember all the trivial favors vividly. Yet, you did not mention about how Blackie saved you after you fell into the valley during your cultivation. If Blackie didn't ask for help on your behalf, you would've been devoured by the wolves. However, not only did you kill Blackie, you snitched its spiritual aura as well. A brute like you actually has the audacity to call Blackie ungrateful. Your shamelessness is truly admirable."

Perhaps the secret Helian Wei Wei had just disclosed was too appalling, together with the others, the exorcists from Xuanyuan Dynasty turned to eye Xuan Bing warily, trying to find clues from his expression.

Xuan Bing growled in defense, "Don't you try to slander me! I knew it was you when the Alsatian appeared out of nowhere to hinder my performance! It was obviously you who released it!"

"You know better than anyone else why Blackie is here." Helian Wei Wei glared at him from above as she continued, "You are full of excuses. As a matter of fact, you would have been long taken away by the reapers if it wasn't for Blackie."

Xuan Bing's fingers trembled as he tried to deny the accusations, "Just because you are the Third Princess Consort, it doesn't give you the right to defame me! You've no evidence to prove your claims!"

Zongzheng Yu Er concurred, "Third Princess Consort, all of us witnessed how Xuan Bing used to take good care of the Alsatian. He never once abused his Alsatian and your statement is certainly groundless!"

"I agree. Third Princess Consort, you can't make up a story just win the competition." Elder Xu Wu joined in as an auxiliary. In fact, he had already grasped the situation. In the normal course of events, an animal would head directly to the netherworld for rebirth. Yet, after all these years, the Alsatian remained a lone soul. Not only that, it carried a great aura of resentment. The only person who could give rise to this was its rightful owner.

However, even if it was true, an Alsatian could never speak and there would be no proof to his felony!

Xuan Bing shared the same idea as Elder Xu Wu. He reckoned that the inquisite Helian Wei Wei would be powerless when she held no evidence against him.

Knowing what was on Xuan Bing's mind, it howled before it flaunted its fangs while its black fur stood on end. Its crimson eyes were extremely terrifying!

If Helian Wei Wei did not press her hand on its head, it would definitely have attacked Xuan Bing and bit him to death!

"Calm down, Blackie. You will never be able to restore the justice if you kill him now. Since he's asking for evidence, we'll present it to him." Helian Wei Wei turned and said to the reapers who were standing behind her, "Tell them what you know."

Hearing Helian Wei Wei's command to the reapers, the exorcists rose to their feet. "Is she trying to make the reapers talk?"

"How is that possible? Reapers only visit the human world to harvest souls and they can never speak unless they're ordered personally by the King of Hell, right?" The exorcists felt that it was the most thrilling day of their life!

Another exorcist whom mumbled to himself, "Well, it's not exactly impossible. It can happen... if the person has hundreds of years of cultivation. But, Third Princess Consort..."

"Let's wait and see. We don't know for sure if they can talk!" The exorcists held their breaths as they anticipated what would come next.

However, unbeknownst to them, as long as His Highness was present, it was an easy task to make the reapers to speak.
