The Anarchic Consort (Book 1)

736-740

Ni Hu felt strange when he saw it. He felt that his elder sister had changed ever since she fell majorly sick previously. However, he could not quite place his finger on it.

Whenever their father was asking her questions, she always seemed distracted. Even now, Ni Hu had no idea what she was really thinking about. However, he could not understand why his father would seem inattentive after speaking to his elder sister.

As everyone remained silent, Ni Hu went closer to his sister and put his arm around her, asking, "Elder Sister, do you want to leave earlier since you're feeling unwell?"

Ni Feng paused for a while, before replying while coughing in between her words, "The... the banquet just began. Would it be inappropriate if I left now?"

The Old Master Ni seemed to have just gained his senses. He did not know what had happened. He was feeling quite sharp initially, but he was hit with a sudden bout of sleepiness just now. However, he felt much better now after being woken up by the blowing wind. He smiled at Ni Feng and said, "There is nothing inappropriate about it. All the guests at the banquet are my friends. Moreover, they should know by now who is in charge in Exorcist City. You and your brother can leave first if you are feeling unwell. Little Tiger, send your elder sister back. Be cautious and don't let anybody touch your sister."

"Yes, father." Although Ni Hu acted rampantly when he was out, he was much more restrained at home, especially in front of his elder sister. He did not know why, but he feared her.

"Elder Sister, let's go back." Ni Hu went ahead to clear a path for her.

Ni Feng nodded and followed after him. She still coughed as she walked, but her spiritual aura seemed to have increased in abundance.

Ni Hu thought that he was too oblivious, thinking that his elder sister was emitting the Qi of Yin just now. It is obviously her spiritual aura, how could it be the Qi of Yin...

"Little Tiger, you may leave me here. I want to take a walk outside. You should go back if you have nothing else to do after this. There are so many distinguished guests arriving in Exorcist City, you should help father serve them." The way Ni Feng spoke was as gentle as her personality.

Ni Hu did not really want to be in the backyard. The crowd was in the front yard and the evening was just beginning. He was anticipating the dance performance later, but he was also worried about his elder sister's condition. So, he reminded her, "Elder sister, take good care during your walk. It's cold out there, you should bring another heater."

"Alright." Ni Feng nodded with a smile. As she lowered her eyes, she gave a few more coughs.

"Then, I'll take my leave." Ni Hu was in a hurry to return to the party. After taking a few steps, he turned back as he remembered something, but he saw that Ni Feng was standing right there without moving. The weird feeling that he had before arose again. However, he simply shook his head and walked toward the front yard...

The night sky was getting darker, and the blowing cold breeze causing the bare winter trees to sway back and forth. They looked like eerie shadows who were baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.

Exorcist City was supposed to be the safest place in the world, who knew that this day would come.

One of the fetuses in Helian Wei Wei's womb seemed to have felt something. Its devilish red eyes widened suddenly and glowed dimly.

"Elder brother, did something happen?" The smaller fetus woke up after noticing his sibling's state.

The bigger fetus hummed in agreement. His tone was faint but sinister, as he muttered, "There is something strange about this Exorcist City."
