The Anarchic Consort (Book 1)

706-710

"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?!"
