Venerated Venomous Consort

Why was he not back yet? With his speed and ability, he should be back by now. After another hour of silence, she could no longer sit still. Without much thought, she decided to teleport into his room. Perhaps he had already quietly come back. After all, his Kung Fu was great. Also, the interior of his room was completely soundproof.

What she saw in the room made it clear that he never returned. The room was cold, and the sheets were still neat. Did he plan not to come back anymore? Did her words really hurt him that much? Or had he moved into another room to avoid the awkwardness? He could always find a way to get the best things for himself. Had he chosen to live somewhere else?

The man had always been conceited and arrogant. Perhaps he could not take the embarrassment that she made him suffer. Many speculations popped out in her head; every single one sounded equally reasonable. Gu Xijiu could barely calm her anxious heart.

Upon pondering about the situation, she was determined to teleport straight out of the city. She wanted to see if he was still around the place where they broke up.

…

The full moon was hanging high up in the sky. Certainly, she was not expecting rain on a night as beautiful as the one she witnessed. It was a downpour with seemingly no end.

Gu Xijiu took a look at the moon, then to the rain that was beating down heavily on the ground. She could not help but curse in the rain. It was very strange to have a downpour while the moon was still shining brightly in the sky. Everything was indeed unpredictable in Shura World.

She was now about a hundred miles away from the city. She had to teleport at least seven times to get here. During her journey, some beasts would occasionally emerge. She would avoid them if she could; otherwise, she would fight them off with her sword.

The rain came down in torrents. There was a spell that she could use to form a wizardry barrier to shelter her from the rain. However, she was completely exhausted after a long day. Both her physical strength and spiritual power were inadequate to support the wizardry barrier. If she insisted on forming the wizardry barrier, she would barely have any strength left to fight the beasts.

After only a while in the rain, she was thoroughly soaked. Nonetheless, she was finally back to the place. The broken branches of the surrounding trees stayed the same. The remains of the shattered stones were still there. However, the only thing missing was Di Fuyi.

She took three turns around the place and its surroundings, but could not see Di Fuyi anywhere. The downpour blurred her vision. Also, the rain had removed all the signs that could possibly be used to track him down.

Gu Xijiu stood under a tree to take shelter. Irritated, she quickly wiped away the droplets on her face. How could he stand waiting here when it was raining so heavily? Even without the rain, he should have been long gone after all this time.

Upon contemplation, Gu Xijiu realized that it was a really dumb action for her to run in the rain, only to realize that he was long gone. Gu Xijiu had always thought that she was smart, but her bad decisions today had made her think otherwise.

Luckily, the rain was normal, not corrosive like the blood rain. Nevertheless, she could not help but shiver in the cold. She had been running many different errands over the past few days. She had not had a proper rest or a proper meal for that matter.

She felt weak, and both her legs started to tremble. She took a look at the surrounding trees. Under the rain, the forest seemed endless. Where would Di Fuyi be?

She had been to every corner of the specific place and its surroundings, but could not even find a trace of his presence. Therefore, she believed that none of the animals had attacked him. Otherwise, there would definitely be some signs of his clothes or some remains on the ground.
