The Anarchic Consort (1)

598-600

The boy curled his lower lip and spoke very coldly, "So you lifted up my robe just to apply the ointment?"

"If I don't do so, how can I apply the ointment?" Helian Wei Wei raised an eyebrow.

"Don't you know that you can give me the ointment and let me apply it on my own?" The boy righted his robes and sat back onto his personal wooden throne. He crossed one of his legs on top of the other and propped an elbow on the armrest, with his index finger supporting his chin. Then, he looked down at her elegantly and lazily.

Helian Wei Wei was speechless...

What kind of gaze was that?

Is he mocking my IQ?

Let's just put aside the fact that he likes calling me dumb when he grows up.

But he's only about eight years old right now, and he has started to mock people?

Isn't this extremely conceited and egoistic of him? Please visit fr𝐞𝐞wn.𝒸o𝔪 website to read fastest update

And why is a little child like him wearing black gloves?

His OCD has indeed existed since he was young!

"Woman."

The boy put his teacup down and began to groom his black gloves, while his charming eyes frosted over. "You should explain yourself, or else I'll send you to the Internal Household Affairs Department and let them question you properly. Where are you from? Why are you here in the palace? And why are you trying so hard to get close to me?"

Indeed, His Highness could not be deceived easily, be it the grown-up or childhood version of him.

They were immensely intelligent.

Helian Wei Wei's gaze deepened. Due to what she had experienced back in the magical realm, she decided to come clean about everything she knew to the Baili Jia Jue before her.

Firstly, it was because he was someone who would overthink. Even the tiniest oddity would rouse his suspicions. So, it was better for her to reveal everything now rather than turn into an object of his suspicion in the future.

Secondly, he might follow her back right away after listening to this.

Sadly, the second assumption was totally impossible.

It was because the boy's face had remained so calm throughout her explanation, which made her feel like she had just spouted a load of nonsense, which made her feel depressed.

"Actually, some parts of what you said were convincing," the boy mentioned casually.

"Really?" Helian Wei Wei was suddenly pumped full of energy. She grabbed his hand and swung it back and forth as she praised, "You're still a good kid with redeemable qualities in you."

The boy's lips curved into a grin as he continued with a sweet voice, "For example, the fact that I'll call you stupid when I grow up? That seems very possible, because you actually are stupid."

Helian Wei Wei was once again rendered speechless...

"Didn't you say just now that I'll lock you up when I grow up?" The boy knocked on the wooden table lightly, his expression making it seem like he was deep in thought.

Helian Wei Wei frowned and rebutted astutely, "Out of all the things I've said, you're only interested in this?"

The boy replied with composure, "I can see that you don't like it, so I'll avoid locking you up in the future." He preferred chains rather than locks after all. He did not know whether this woman was telling the truth, but nevertheless, he did kind of want to keep her in his prey pond right now. It would be interesting to watch her flash her claws.
