The Anarchic Consort (282-990)

Chapter 318: The Summoning Test

“Demon-Transforming Beast.” Baili Jia Jue narrowed his eyes. His gaze brought out an unusual sense of chilliness as he heard these three words again.

Of course, Fire Qilin knew what was on his mind.

The Demon-Transforming Beast was different from other magical beasts. This type of beast had thoughts more complicated than humans. It could create illusions and even enter into the human body, controlling the human.

Back then, the Empress was once controlled by the Demon-Transforming Beast, that was the reason why Baili Jia Jue was being treated harshly, well, it was also partly due to the fact that the Empress never liked Baili Jia Jue since he was young.

When she was pregnant with Baili Jia Jue, the Emperor started to indulge in lust.

For that reason, she saw that child in her womb as a burden.

No matter how others convinced her that she could only live a glamorous life once she gave birth to the prince, her hatred toward Baili Jia Jue did not fade.

However, the Empress never claimed that she did not want the child, but she was planning to use the child to win over the heart of the Emperor.

What the Empress did not expect was that not only the Emperor did not have a change of heart, in turn, he spent an increased amount of time with Murong.

The Empress eventually cared less for Baili Jia Jue. In her mind, giving birth to a prince was the same as not giving birth at all.

After that, no matter how outstanding Baili Jia Jue was, they were all devalued in her eyes.

The heart of the Empress was filled with the Emperor, it was hard for her to put others into consideration.

Even if that person was her own son.

So, this gave the Demon-Transforming Beast a chance to possess her. It was much easier to control a person who had her own demons in the first place if compared to a normal person.

That day, the Empress called Baili Jia Jue into the palace, scolded and degraded him, then lunged at him.

Even though its presence and the fierce glare of His Highness scared the Demon-Transforming Beast away, but the damage had been done.

The Empress thought it was Baili Jia Jue who wanted to hurt her, holding a pair of scissors, she slashed Baili Jia Jue’s face, amidst the blurry blood.

Fire Qilin knew that it was not because its master could not dodge the scissor, but because he treated her as his dearest.

Instead, due to this incident, she sent him out of the palace due to fear.

Within a year, the Empress passed away, rumors had it that her body was too weak.

Fire Qilin knew that master had quite an unhappy childhood.

However, the more the master was in this condition, the more it needed him.

Thus, he had no comment regarding the actions of the Empress.

But now, the Demon-Transforming Beast reappeared.

Fire Qilin stretched his claws, his beastly brows furrowed tighter than usual.

Yet, Baili Jia Jue was actually thinking about another matter, his gaze was cold as he ordered the people beside him, “Go and check on the recent actions of the Battle Spirit Forces.”

Shadow withdrew respectfully.

The teacher stood in front and declared aloud, “May the test begin!”
