The Anarchic Consort-Novel2

Chapter 743:

Continuation Of Humiliation And The Desire To Throw Money At Wei Wei

It was as if he sensed something.

Baili Jia Jue’s statuesque figure stood unmoving as he lowered his gaze unhurriedly onto Helian Wei Wei’s belly.

Zhuge Yun knew that he would not be able to find a way through him, so he looked at Helian Wei Wei instead. “Brother Wei.”

Either way, Helian Wei Wei had to give him face even though she was never a nice person. “Bats rely on sound localization. We can escape from here by utilizing noises to disrupt their sense of location.”

“Noise disruption?” Everyone exchanged glances with each other in confusion.

Helian Wei Wei extended a hand to grab hold of the bell hanging by Zhuge Yun’s back, “Just use this. Since all of you have one, you should tie them together and hang them on the branches of these trees. The wind is blowing strongly toward the West and we are facing the East.”

Bells were a must-have belonging for every exorcist, they were mainly used for evocation and exorcism. These bells could be paired together with Chinese talismans to restrict the movements of tribes of corpses if they came across any.

They had come up with the idea of using bells against those corpses, but it had never crossed their minds to use these bells to defend themselves against bats.

“Wait a minute, what if this plan doesn’t work?” Some people were still doubting the effectiveness of the plan.

Helian Wei Wei scoffed coldly, “Well, you don’t have to try it.”

“No, I’ll do it!” They could not afford to spare more time thinking about it at this point, saving one’s life was way more important!

The exorcists took their bells and hung them up on the branches of the nearby trees by using the Red Demon Restricting Rope.

“We have to walk in the opposite direction.” Helian Wei Wei’s voice was extremely calm even in the midst of chaos. “One of us must hold the red rope and we have to ring the bells if we catch sight of the bats.”

“Hmm, alright! Alright!” Xiao Lingyu said as he nodded his head. He seemed to be having his full faith in Helian Wei Wei and trusted everything she said at that moment. The only thing that he had not done yet was acknowledging her as his boss.

Helian Wei Wei took another glance behind her, “We should go right after all of you have done preparing.”

At her command, all the exorcists began to make their way toward the mouth of the tomb with Zhuge Yun being the one in charge of holding onto the rope. With great concentration, the youngster kept looking back as he walked, waiting only for those bats to reappear so he could ring those bells.

The red rope was extended to a very great length, long enough for those bats to turn around and fly in the opposite direction...

“They’re here! They’re back!” An exorcist started shouting all of a sudden.

Helian Wei Wei glanced over. “Keep quiet, continue walking.”

That person shut his mouth immediately, his eyes fixed on the black gust of wind that was getting closer.

Zhuge Yun rang the bells at the right moment!

The jingling noises disrupted the bats’ judgment completely and it could be seen that the bats even paused momentarily mid-air before turning around abruptly and flew toward the bells!

The exorcists’ eyes lit up when they saw that the plan was working!

Zhuge Yun did not stop moving as the bats would continue to fly around that particular area as long as the bells did not stop ringing.

They could use this opportunity to go around the bats and escape!

However, there was one thing that Zhuge Yun did not understand. Baili Jia Jue who was standing behind him was exceptionally nonchalant as if he was not in the least bit afraid of those blood-sucking bats.

When those blood-sucking bats began to take flight behind him, they looked as if they were just acting as a foil to him.

Of course, Helian Wei Wei knew exactly why His Highness was walking so slowly.

These blood-sucking bats were just like normal carrier pigeons in the magical realm and they were used by His Highness for communication.

It was no surprise that he would not run from his carrier pigeons. If His Highness was to reveal a tiny bit of his aura, those blood-sucking bats would all fall from the sky and kneel in servility.

Helian Wei Wei did not doubt in the least His Highness’ wicked interest. She turned her head to whisper in his ear, “Why are they attacking in waves instead of coming in one go? Did you do something to this?”

The movement Baili Jia Jue made when he arched his eyebrow was extremely elegant, his voice sounding as though everything was going exactly the way they should. “Eating ought to be done in a matter of turns, isn’t that right?”

Helian Wei Wei thought to herself. So, the attacks just now are just some kind of dining etiquette for His Highness.

The inexplicability of the magical realm was not something mere mortals could understand.

“Moreover...” Baili Jia Jue’s thin lips curved upward as he continued, “it’s more interesting to eat this way. The signs of struggle shown by dying prey are indeed funny.”

The bigger fetus had to agree with his father’s outlook on this point and surprisingly did not have anything mocking to say. He merely shifted his body, his widened eyes reflecting a sort of demonic red as he earnestly told the smaller fetus, “Just wait until I go out, I’ll catch bats for you to play with.”

“Hmm.” The two little ones continued interacting with each other using their secretive way of communicating.

Helian Wei Wei also noticed the movements in her belly and laughed under her breath. She turned to Baili Jia Jue and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “It seems like our baby is unusually active today.”

Baili Jia Jue did not respond to that but pulled Helian Wei Wei’s hand away from her abdomen. His voice was indifferent when he said, “Stop thinking about it all the time, we are in a competition! What if we lose?”

Helian Wei Wei wondered. Will we lose when His Highness is present?

“He’s acting again,” the bigger fetus scoffed, “he’s obviously jealous of us.”

The smaller fetus was also used to the way its brother interacted with their father. Both of them just could not see eye to eye with each other and they were often trying to vie for its mother’s affection.

The odd thing was, somehow, their father still had not noticed its existence even though it was formed at the same time with its elder brother...

The smaller fetus did not have the energy to think about it much more as it felt strained as soon as they entered Exorcist City.

It had to get out of here together with its elder brother no matter what as their mother had spent a lot of time and effort in planting delicious strawberries for them.

“Are you tired?” The bigger fetus noticed that the smaller one had begun to look a bit sluggish. It moved its tiny hand to pat the younger one on its head, “Go to sleep, I’m here with you.”

“Hmm...”

The two little ones were actually very loving with each other. The elder one was always looking out for the young one.

The exorcists weaved through the forest and came to a place where sunlight shone through. Those blood-sucking bats would not be able to come to such a place.

The way Young Master Xiao looked at Helian Wei Wei was completely different at that time. It was now a look of pure idolization.

In all honesty, regardless of how bad Young Master Xiao was, how much he liked to mock others and how cowardice he was, deep inside, he still wanted to appear heroic.

After all, he was an exorcist and he had the desire to slay demons from a young age. action

Upon realizing Helian Wei Wei’s abilities, Young Master Xiao pushed Zhuge Yun aside with one shove as he turned to Helian Wei Wei and said arrogantly, “Brother, are you willing to enter our Xiao Family? I can pay you 10 times the amount that Zhuge Family is paying you if you join us!”

Young Master Xiao thought to himself that the other party would definitely not reject this condition and this would guarantee his chances of winning. If not, the person who would win could very well be Zhuge Yun.

How could he allow that dumb head to have such a cheap opportunity?
