Venerated Venomous Consort

“You are awake.” Di Fuyi looked at Gu Xijiu joyfully. “You seem to have gotten better,” he continued as he pushed some snacks toward her. “Try some.”

Certainly, Gu Xijiu would not decline such offers. She took one and put it into her mouth. It was soft and tasty, which was perfect for her. For someone like her, who only had very simple food every day, that was considered a delicious delicacy. Moreover, she was already hungry; hence, she ate quite a lot.

She had already finished all four plates of snacks when she realized how much she had consumed. Yet, when she lifted her head, she saw him staring at her with a pair of charming eyes. Her heart raced a little.

She was curious. “Why are you not eating?”

“I cannot compete with you.” Di Fuyi teased her as he lifted his hand to remove the leftovers at the edge of her mouth and then put it into his mouth.

Gu Xijiu’s heart skipped a beat as she found that every single move of his was so natural. She truly found all his actions a little too much to handle!

“Does everyone from heaven carry many things with them wherever they go? Is that a treasure bag? Why don’t I have one?”

Di Fuyi looked at her and sighed. “It is not a treasure bag but a storage space. You need to use your spiritual power to form it. You had it previously, but you have lost your power. Hence, you probably cannot access it for the time being.”

“So, do you mean to say that I have one and that everything is still there? The only problem is I cannot open it?”

“Theoretically, you are right.”

“Could you help me open it, please?”

Di Fuyi shook his head. “I cannot.” In fact, he tried earlier when he treated her wounds. However, the storage space was tightly closed, and he could not even find a single way to open it.

The size of an individual’s storage space was related to its owner’s spiritual power. Gu Xijiu possessed the spiritual power of a Mighty Immortal when she was in heaven; hence, her storage space must be very spacious and difficult to open. Anyone that possessed a lower spiritual power could not open it.

To make matters worse, Di Fuyi only had 20 percent of his spiritual power left. Hence, he couldn’t open it. Gu Xijiu needed at least ten percent of her spiritual power to open her storage space. Therefore, it was not an option for the time being.

The negative impact of that place was that whoever who came in would lose their spiritual power bit by bit. Di Fuyi had no choice but to act swiftly before he loses his power as well.

He looked at her face which still covered with paint and asked, “Are you still planning to continue carrying Stone’s name?”

Gu Xijiu shook her head. “I had no choice before; everyone needed hope, and that was the only way to unite them. The prophet had said that Stone would bring them out when he turs18, but I look like I am turning 19 soon. They will be disappointed if I cannot complete the task.”

That was the reason she tried to break the wizardry barrier and ended up getting severely injured.

She sighed as she played with the teacup in her hand. “I am bearing everyone’s hope on my shoulders; I cannot collapse.” She could not even show her weakness. The only thing she could do was continue fighting even though she was exhausted.

Di Fuyi filled her teacup with tea and spoke slowly, “I am here now; you do not have to push yourself.”

It was heartwarming. Gu Xijiu appreciated the benefits of having someone to support you! She could finally heave a sigh of relief.

“Do you have any idea how to break out?”

“I think so…” Di Fuyi took out a few more fruits and placed in front of her as he explained his plans.

The fruits looked very fresh and tempting.
