Venerated Venomous Consort

“Fuyi, thank you for your help this time.” Gu Xijiu gave him a pleasant smile.

Di Fuyi’s fingers moved away from her wrist; he faintly said, “You’re welcome.” He then turned his head and looked at Long Siye. “Why is General Long here?”

Long Siye paused for a moment before answering. He wanted to be cautious with his words. “After Xijiu came here, I had lost contact with her, so I decided to come to look for her.”

Di Fuyi’s sight turned back to Gu Xijiu’s face, and the corner of his lips was curved upward. He smiled and said, “Why didn’t you contact me?”

Gu Xijiu remained silent.

Di Fuyi stared at her eyes and smirked. “Well, I am your rumored boyfriend, right?” He seemed to be sarcastic this time.

Gu Xijiu sighed. This guy was really living in the modern world. She said, “Hey, it’s a misunderstanding; I am sorry for bringing you trouble…”

The wide smirk on Di Fuyi’s face disappeared in an instant. He responded out of disappointment, “Sorry is useless!” He then looked at her and asked, “Can you walk?”

Gu Xijiu had managed to suppress her injuries with meditation. What she needed to do now was to find a tranquil place to cultivate and recover. There were always beasts passing by in this place. Although these people were guarding her and the beasts would not hurt her, if the environment were too noisy, it would dwindle her recovery. Hence, it seemed that she still had to go back to Long Siye’s house to rest.

She slowly got up, but there was still a feeling of something cracking in her chest. She did not dare to use too much strength, so she waved to Lu Wu. “Lu Wu, come over; kneel.”

Lu Wu was big in size, she usually had no problem jumping up on it, but now she dared not use her spiritual power. She could only command Lu Wu to kneel so that she could climb up on it.

When Lu Wu was about to come over, Di Fuyi suddenly stepped forward. Gu Xijiu did not expect him to approach her; he lifted her off the ground. He was carrying her the way a groom carries his bride on their wedding day. Gu Xijiu was in his arms, and his faint aroma lingered around her nose. She was nervous, and somehow, she recalled the sweet dream she had. Her pale, pretty face suddenly turned red!

Subconsciously she struggled in his arms. “I can walk.” In her current situation, she naturally could not get rid of him. Di Fuyi’s arms slightly tightened their grip on her body, and then he looked at Bai Ze.

Bai Ze was smart. It immediately showed its original appearance to let Di Fuyi board it while carrying Gu Xijiu.

Long Siye frowned. He stepped forward and spoke, “Your Highness, Xijiu needs to find a place to rest for a while. I think we should let her go to my place.”

Di Fuyi looked at him and asked, “Why would my fiancé go to your place? Bai Ze, let’s go!”

Bai Ze answered, “Okay!”

It saw that Gu Xijiu was still struggling so it quickly said, “Miss Gu, it is better to cultivate in our Fantian Hall since it is full of spiritual power; it can help you to speed up your recovery!” It then disappeared in the sky.

Long Siye was speechless. He did not even have the chance for a rebuttal!

Lu Wu was in a hurry, so it carried the mussel to chase after them. Objectively speaking, Lu Wu was considered a quick flying beast, but it was slow compared to Bai Ze. After all, Bai Ze was the head of the eight mythological beasts. It had lived for ten thousand years while Lu Wu was only hundreds of years old. As compared to Bai Ze, Lu Wu was still a young beast.

…

The weather was windy, and the sky was full of clouds.

Bai Ze was flying at high speed, but it had also set a wizardry barrier. Hence, when Gu Xijiu sat on its back, she could only feel a gentle breeze. It felt like a very smooth ride.
