The Anarchic Consort

“His Highness is right. There are clearly two parts in this competition. The first task is to summon the judge, while the second task is to exorcise the hostile ghost.” Elder Xu Wu took one step forward as his eyes darted back and forth. Then, he announced: “The Third Prince and Third Princess Consort were indeed quick and efficient. They annihilated the hostile ghost in no time, but they failed to summon the judge.”

The exorcists looked at each other in dismay when they heard Elder Xu Wu’s words. Under normal circumstances, the judge must be summoned first, this was for them to use the dark spirit within the judge to lure the hostile ghost out of its mortal shell.

However, this time, the hostile ghost was decoyed merely by Helian Wei Wei’s 18 yellow runes, without the help of any other external force.

Everyone knew that if this competition was judged solely on skills, Helian Wei Wei and Baili Jia Jue would be the undeniable champions.

However, the rules must be adhered to. Their failure to summon the judge might just cost them their victory… This was just like the first round when someone actively tried to suppress the winners via the technicalities of the game.

Elder Xu Wu was a good actor as he shook his head and said, “It’s harder to summon the judge than eliminating the hostile ghost. We can all understand why the judge didn’t turn up for the Third Princess Consort have used up all her power on the ferocious hostile ghost. Eventually, she couldn’t spare any of her power to summon the judge. That’s such a pity.”

It required enormous spiritual energy to maneuver the 18 yellow runes.

Helian Wei Wei was truly a powerful and formidable opponent.

Due to her impatience, youth and inexperience, she had recklessly channeled all her spiritual energy at once to exorcise the hostile ghost. Consequently, she failed to reserve any spiritual aura for the second task. It was to no one’s surprise that the judge did not make an appearance.

Elder Xu Wu chuckled, thinking that Helian Wei Wei had reached the limit of her capability. He was pleased that he could finally gauge her real strength.

However, much to his surprise, Helian Wei Wei’s lips curved into a half smile as she drawled, “Is it true that I failed to summon the judge?”

What?

Elder Xu Wu’s expression changed abruptly as he violently turned his head around.

Helian Wei Wei gathered her palms together as her inky black hair fluttered in the wind.

It was apparent that the spiritual aura Helian Wei Wei was brewing within her palms was even more powerful than before.

She simply stood there as gusts of wind swept past her from all directions, causing her cloak to sway along the wind. Overwhelmed by waves of fog, she remained motionless within the darkness as she chanted a few incantations. She squinted before she shouted, “Show yourself!”

Her words were succinct but it was extremely menacing.

Immediately, a corner of the Great Hall was frozen.

The fog within the shadows slowly rolled into turbulences before it began to condense, as though something was about to materialize.

All ministers were running out of breath.

Then, suddenly a deafening bang resounded across the atmosphere!

The dark fog dissipated as something fell onto the ground.

A five years old boy appeared in the middle of the Great Hall. He seemed to still be occupied with his work. He held a stamp with the word “Yama” in his one hand, while he rested his chin on the other hand, appearing as though he was bored of his job. He carried a pacifier in his mouth and wore a top head, with the word “Yama” written on it, on his head. Coupled with the black gown he was wearing, the boy looked extremely exquisite. Apparently, he did not expect to arrive at the human world all of a sudden. Dumbstruck, he was rooted at the spot. When he finally understood the situation, he cursed discreetly, “Who sent me to the ancient times? Send me to the modern era if they want to transport me! I swear you people are deliberately trying to separate me and Little Hook! How shameless!”

Who… who is this child?

The ministers were stunned, baffled at the sight of the little boy who was standing in the middle of the Great Hall.

Wasn’t she supposed to summon a judge?

Why did this boy appear instead?

“Fourth brother, don’t you think the boy has a very familiar voice?” said the reaper who was about to leave but had stopped in its tracks.

The fourth brother let out a laugh before answered, “Indeed! He sounds rather familiar. I almost had an illusion, thinking that I have returned to hell. Otherwise, why would I have heard the son of King of Hell’s voice?”

Wait a minute. He’s the son of King of Hell?

All the reapers were startled as they took a look behind their back in synchrony!

Oh, my god!

He really is the King of Hell’s son!

That’s not good! Worrying that his son might be involved in puppy love, he has ordered us to keep a watchful eye on his son to make sure that the boy never gets out of hell, or we will be punished.

Now, the son of King of Hell has been summoned to the human world.

He will even meet the Great Demon King in person.

What now?

What should we do?

The King of Hell’s son remained composed. He looked at the eyes of the bystanders that were fixed on him before he took out a little mirror and struck a pose confidently. He heaved a sigh of disappointment. “I have dressed up, but I will not be able to meet Little Hook. What a waste!”

Helian Wei Wei stood behind him. From the moment he appeared, she found this silhouette familiar. After watching his behavior, she became certain that he was the same child she met before.

At this moment, the King of Hell’s son whipped around. His eyebrows rose in surprise as he eyed Helian Wei Wei before he put on a wicked smile. “So, you are the one who summoned me. What’s the matter? Couldn’t stop missing my pretty face after our last meeting?”

Helian Wei Wei was rendered speechless. What would I miss a five-year-old kid?

“Unfortunately, you have no chance.” The son of King of Hell put away the mirror and said in a serious tone, “I will only love Little Hook till my last breath.”

I’m a married woman, Helian Wei Wei thought to herself.

“But, I can grant you a chance to kiss the back of my hand.” The son of King of Hell reckoned that he was being generous!

Upon hearing this, Baili Jia Jue sneered. He approached the boy from behind, stared at the boy with his icy eyes and scoffed, “So which hand would you like to discard?”

With strenuous effort, the son of King of Hell raised his head before he noticed how muscular the man’s slender legs looked from this angle. His chiseled and fair face was glowing like a crystal. The man had pinned his gaze on the boy.

The son of King of Hell was greatly intimidated, causing him to choke on his own saliva!

The… Great Demon King!

The child quickly shut his mouth. He studies Baili Jia Jue with his amber-colored eyes before he hurriedly fled the scene!

He wanted to go back to hell and chastised the reapers with a whip!

How could they not inform him about the return of such a dangerous creature!

Did they not know that the malicious Great Demon King was among one of the people that he feared the most!

The Great Demon King was flagitious.

He began to recall the time when he was a three-year-old.

It’s not like he is very much grown up now!

He labored from dawn to dusk when he first succeeded his father’s duties.

He had to stamp documents and also supervise the reaper’s work.

The work was so taxing, causing him to look sick and worn out!

However, this Great Demon King still had the time to not only pick a fight with his father but also to cause a commotion in hell.

He forced him to remove the name “Helian Wei Wei” from the Book of Life and Death…
