Venerated Venomous Consort

Gu Xijiu wanted to find out many things about her life, but Di Fuyi’s safety was her biggest concern at the moment. With the presence of her old acquaintance, perhaps he could help. “Do you know of any techniques to locate someone?”

Yun Yanli’s spiritual power was already at level nine, so she believed that he should know better. “Are you looking for Prince Nianmo? Has he come out here to hunt?”

“Yes.”

Yun Yanli slowly nodded his head. “There is a way to check, but it can only tell the general direction of one’s location. There is no way to find a person’s specific location.”

Gu Xijiu was hopeful. “As long as there is a direction! What do I have to do?”

Yun Yanli tried to catch his breath. “Xijiu, allow me to take a quick rest.”

“Oh, sure!” After the long, exhausting battle, Yun Yanli was very tired. His robes were still soaked in his sweat. He really needed a rest from the look of his pale complexion.

The place was free from any other wild animals, as they dared not come in close proximity with something as great as the Chinese Alligator. Hence, they were safe at the moment.

They sat side by side on one of the big rocks. Yun Yanli took a bite of some food he brought with him. “Xijiu, do you have many things to ask me about?” He asked.

Gu Xijiu looked away and shook her head firmly. “No. You should focus on your meditation.”

Yun Yanli said nothing more but continued to meditate.

Certainly, Gu Xijiu had many things to ask him about. However, it was not the right time for the questions. At this moment, everything was trivial compared to finding Di Fuyi.

She took a look at Yun Yanli’s purple robes and was bewildered. Was purple a trendy color, recently? It seems that all the powerful men around her like to dress in purple. Ye Ling fancied purple robes, and so did Yun Yanli. Although both of them did look like the descendants of noble families, Gu Xijiu did not think that purple was a suitable color for them. Di Fuyi seemed to be the only one with the grace to wear the color of royalty. At least that was her personal opinion.

At the thought of Di Fuyi, she could not help but wonder where he really was.

“Xijiu, have you found the person you are looking for?”

Gu Xijiu was caught in a daze when his sudden question interrupted her. “Ah? What about the one that I am looking for?”

“The previous Lord, Huang Tu. You have been searching everywhere for him, from the Saha World to heaven. I was helping you find the man at one point in time.”

Gu Xijiu did not answer, for she really could not remember.

Yun Yanli noticed her confusion. “I forgot that you no longer remember the past,” he dismissed the awkwardness with a gentle slap on his forehead.

Gu Xijiu pursed her lips into a tight line. She did not feel very comfortable about the situation. “I do not remember any of it, but you can try to tell me more; maybe I can recall something,” she said calmly.

There was no way she could avoid it. She was now aware of some fragments in her past, so she had to ask for more information about it. If she did not, she would grow to become even more suspicious and overthink the entire situation.

Yun Yanli sympathized with her helplessness. “Xijiu, I do not know much about you, but I do know that you were looking for a man in heaven. You told me that he was the previous Lord from the world where you came from. Something must have gone wrong during his immortalization, so you could barely remember anything about him. The only thing that you remembered was to search for him. It was your obsession. We met many Great Immortals that ascended from the Saha World, but none of them was the one that you were looking for.”
