Venerated Venomous Consort

Gu Xijiu thought that her coldness was just a small matter and that Di Fuyi might not be able to sense it. However, she did not expect this person to be extraordinarily sensitive! And, also a bit arrogant.

It made Gu Xijiu dumbfounded. “I have always wanted to talk to you; I just thought that you should rest more and meditate.”

“You cared about me?”

“Of course.” Gu Xijiu had taken the time to calm down and clear up her mind, so the grievances in her heart had almost disappeared.

Di Fuyi raised his hand and held her hand to pull her closer to his side. “Can you stay with me when I rest?”

Gu Xijiu looked at his slightly pale face. She felt somewhat distressed but also thought that it was rather humorous. “Do you actually need me to accompany you to rest? Are you a kid?”

Di Fuyi replied, “Well, then I will go and rest alone; you can go ahead with your things.” He let go of her hand, turned and left.

Gu Xijiu was speechless. She was just joking, but she felt like she had stepped on his tail. She looked at his back and could tell from his body language that he was disappointed. She went forward and spoke, “Okay, okay, I will accompany you to rest.” She comfortably grabbed his hand and patted it. “Don’t be angry, okay?”

Di Fuyi was speechless. Was this girl treating him like a kid? He glanced at her from the side and felt as though she was comforting her wife! It seemed like she had been deep-rooted as a man.

Di Fuyi’s eyes flashed slightly as he circled her waist with one of his arms to hug her. “Let’s go.”

The old patriarch looked at the Di Fuyi with a confused look. He thought that after Di Fuyi had questioned him, that he would be able to find out something and discuss it with him. He certainly did not expect Di Fuyi to leave with his fiancé!

He watched Di Fuyi and Gu Xijiu rest on a big rock; the man then pulled her to lean on his shoulder. “Come and rest. Look at your tired little face. Let them do the guarding. Even if you are the leader, you don’t have to do everything!”

Gu Xijiu was really tired. At this moment, when she leaned on his shoulder, she felt warm and comfortable. However, she still wondered, “I thought that you would take out a bed to rest.”

Di Fuyi was stunned, and then he raised his hand to pat her hair. “Stupid, we should not enjoy such luxury in front of so many people. Otherwise, people would think that you are just showing off. If you think that the rock is too hard, you can sit on my lap and let me hug you.”

Gu Xijiu was speechless for a moment. Later, she firmly refused. “No, leaning on each other will do.” Therefore, they both leaned on each other to rest.

The old patriarch could not help but watch the couple. He sat down somewhere nearby and frowned. He wanted to go over and talk to Di Fuyi, but he did not want to disturb the pair of lovebirds.

Gu Xijiu was really tired. She had forced herself to arrange all the events of the day. At this moment, when she leaned on Di Fuyi and ate a fruit he gave, she fell asleep quickly without knowing it.

After eating and drinking, the rest of the people also rested, except for those who were on duty to guard the place. Suddenly, the hillside went quiet.

About an hour later, the old patriarch was eager to head to the city. He stood up and wanted to wake the people up to continue the journey.

Di Fuyi suddenly opened his eyes and waved at him. Consequently, the old patriarch walked over. The few words that Di Fuyi subsequently said made the old patriarch’s heart almost sink into the abyss.
