Venerated Venomous Consort

She almost took his life. Little Nianmo was really intrigued by her intentions, but he was sure that the woman meant mischief.

The woman pulled off the look of a man. She even had a disturbing mask to cover up her face, so her true face must definitely be scary and ugly. Also, she must be a psycho to harbor evil intentions against a child.

He thought about all the tricks that the woman had used on him and was frustrated. He could not help but curse at her. “What an ugly woman you must be! Why do you keep following me?”

To his surprise, there was only the sound of wind brushing through the leaves, and nothing else. The mysterious woman did not show up again. She must have left.

Little Nianmo was relieved. Soon, he left the incident behind and continued his journey. However, he was surprised when he took a careful look at his surroundings.

He had already found the way out before the chaos, but now, the surroundings had undergone remarkable changes. It was as if someone had purposely added new obstacles to the array to complicate it even further.

Little Nianmo was lost, and he had to look for his way out all over again.

Utterly annoyed, Little Nianmo continued to curse the masked woman. It was only after a while that he became determined to accept the challenge again to find a way out.

At the exit of the array formation, there was a rock. Gu Xijiu stood tall, with her robes swaying wildly in the gusts of wind. She touched the mask gently and was amused.

She observed the array formation and rubbed her temples in bewilderment. “What a surprise, he really is the one. Now that I have found him, what should I do next? Have I completed my mission?” She sighed helplessly.

“You have not. You need to hand him the box. You can only find out if he is really the master of heavenly law when he opens it,” the voice in her head responded.

Gu Xijiu accepted her fate.

She took a leap to the top of a tree and rested for a bit while waiting for the child’s escape.

When she exited the array formation, she made some alterations at the exit to make it more apparent. The bright child would definitely recognize it. However, she looked up in the sky and noticed that it was almost midnight. In a daze, she still could not believe that the adorable boy was actually the master of heavenly law. It was entirely out of her expectation.

Deeply rooted in her subconscious, she had a mild aversion to the master of heavenly law.

As the heavenly laws had completely manipulated her whole life, she could not help but criticize its master. She even had the idea of creating chaos for the master of heavenly law when she found him, to let him taste his own medicine.

She had always thought that the master of heavenly law would be someone who was incredibly shrewd and deep. Surprisingly, he turned out to be so adorable.

“Even if he is the master of heavenly law, he will not be able to open the box before his first birthday. Are you sure that you want to wait for him here?” The mysterious voice suggested.

Gu Xijiu was irritated. “Why didn’t you tell me this earlier?”

She turned to the sky and left swiftly.

…

The mission that had been troubling Gu Xijiu for two hundred years had finally seen some progress. She was indeed, relieved.

Shen Nianmo’s birthday was now only two months away. Troubled by the mission, she had not been able to travel around the Upper Bound properly lately. Hence, she made it a point to explore the place again.
