The Anarchic Consort (Book 1)

726-730

Helian Wei Wei looked at Baili Jia Jue with smiling eyes and said, "Then I won't look anymore, I'm worried it might affect the baby."

The Fire Qilin had no words... Does no one care for my feelings!

Little Seven knitted his brows together. Then, he released the Beast Binding Rope in his hands and skipped over, asking, "Third Aunt, are you not eating anymore?"

The Fire Qilin thought to himself... Can't you talk about anything other than food!

"Not anymore. Little Seven, accompany them to the netherworld to capture some dead souls." Helian Wei Wei paused and glanced at Baili Jia Jue, before adding, "To feed the baby."

Bali Jia Jue's charming face held its usual elegance. His hand paused from stroking Helian Wei Wei's hair for a moment, as he said with a chuckle, "You found out? Looks like we'd really have to braise the Qilin soup well."

Hearing this come his Master himself, the Fire Qilin felt his skin crawl.

"You're just taking it out on others when things go wrong," Helian Wei Wei mumbled in his embrace.

"Taking it out on others?" Baili Jia Jue let out a low laugh. He tightened his fingers on her chin, his gaze was icy cold as he replied, "My dear, you haven't seen me do it seriously. If you face a problem without telling me again, it won't just be this pair of claws that I'd be breaking, it would be the whole of you."

His words made Helian Wei Wei felt a pang of guilt as she said, "I was just worried that you would feel hostile toward the baby."

"Since when was I hostile toward him?" Baili Jia Jue's gaze swept carelessly over Helian Wei Wei's belly. His laugh sounded a little cold as he muttered, "I can barely hold in my adoration for it."

Mother, he's lying!

What adoration is he even talking about!

What a false statement!

The bigger fetus' reaction was especially vigorous.

The smaller fetus' eyelids fluttered from his light sleep as he mumbled, "Brother, Mother won't be able to hear you."

"Did I wake you again?" The bigger fetus pulled the smaller one into a hug and scoffed, "Once I'm out of here, Mother will be able to hear me. I've got to defeat Father. Let's do it together, we'll see how he can still put up a false front then!"

The smaller fetus hummed in agreement and rubbed his eyes unenthusiastically with his newly formed hands.

Seeing him in such a lethargic state, the bigger fetus' crimson eyes darkened. He kissed the smaller fetus on his forehead gently and said, "When we're out of here, I'll give you all the delicious food, so you've got to follow me out, okay?"

"Okay," the smaller fetus replied weakly. The viscous blood-red color glinting in his irises made him appear a little livelier.

The bigger fetus then smiled and gave all the spiritual aura he had stored to the smaller one.

While it was true that Helian Wei Wei could not hear the fetuses' conversation, she was positive that His Highness' tone certainly did not convey adoration.

"What is it? Do you not believe what I just said?" The man regained his usual indifference, his expression implying that he would throw anyone out of the window unhesitantly if they doubt his words.

Helian Wei Wei coughed quietly and began trying to please him, "I do, I'm just curious about what Imperial Physician Liu spoke to you about."

Hearing this, Baili Jia Jue stared at the Fire Qilin, who was lying on the ground.
