Venerated Venomous Consort

“Xijiu!” Yun Yanli dashed into the room and slammed the door open on his way in. He did not know how to teleport, so he came in a little later than Gu Xijiu. When he saw Gu Xijiu standing idly inside, his instincts told him that something did not add up. “What’s wrong?”

Gu Xijiu shook her head and did not speak. She did not want to waste her time saying something she was not sure of. Yun Yanli, being extremely intelligent, immediately raised his hand and released a blood butterfly. He knew that Gu Xijiu wanted to know if the man was Di Fuyi.

Nonetheless, the blood butterfly stayed on the back of his hand; it flapped its wings but did not leave his hand. Apparently, there was no result from the search.

Yun Yanli heaved a sigh of relief. If the man were Di Fuyi, he would not be able to travel more than a hundred miles in such a brief moment. Hence, the blood butterfly would have tracked him down. Therefore, the man in the room earlier was not him.

After diverting his attention away from the butterfly, Yun Yanli smelled the orchid-like aroma in the room, and his eyes flashed. “These two people are a little bit weird.”

Yun Yanli then twirled his fingers again, and the blood butterfly was released into the air. This time, the blood butterfly was not detecting Di Fuyi’s breath, but instead, was looking for the white-dressed woman.

After the blood butterfly turned around, it flew straight out of the room. Yun Yanli and Gu Xijiu rushed toward it and tried to keep up.

…

The sky was full of red clouds while beneath them was a black ink-stain like layer. By looking at it from afar, it seemed like the night fell early, and the red light could not penetrate it. However, in the dark, there were strange green lights inside the clouds that looked like fireflies.

It was the famous Black Desert in the Shura World. The green lights were the great evil fires in the desert. The desert was initially a hot place, but when Gu Xijiu came close to it, she felt a chill. The blood butterfly had tracked the woman in white all the way here and no longer moved forward. It just surrounded Yun Yanli in circles.

“The two of them come from the Devil Kingdom!” Yun Yanli made a conclusion.

Gu Xijiu looked at the Black Desert and did not speak for a while.

“Xijiu, do you think that the man is him? The people who practice immortality can enter the Devil Kingdom in the Shura World. Otherwise, once they go in, even if the devils do not kill them, the evil fire is enough to take their life.”

Gu Xijiu shook her head. “I didn’t think that it was him. I just thought that these two people were very strange.”

“The devils have always been secretive. The things they did were considered normal to them, regardless of how weird it may seem to us.”

Gu Xijiu looked at the Black Desert and pondered.

Yun Yanli seemed to be aware of something. “Xijiu, the devils and the humans have been living in peace for the past few years. We don’t need to provoke them. After all, although these two people are vicious, they did not create a big issue. Please don’t have the idea to enter the Black Desert. You should not go to this place!”

It was not in her nature to explain herself, and she did not usually express her emotions on her face. Therefore, even though Yun Yanli had been with her for a year, he often did not know what was in her mind.

Gu Xijiu finally turned around and replied, “Let’s go back to the city.”

Yun Yanli heaved another sigh of relief. “Alright!” Lately, he felt like she was changing, but he could not pinpoint the root cause of it. It seemed that the aura around her had changed and it was quite similar to how she was in the Upper Bound.

All of a sudden, he grabbed her wrist tightly. Gu Xijiu frowned at his action. “What are you doing?”

Yun Yanli finally let go of her wrist and smiled. “The evil atmosphere here is very thick. I was afraid that you might have been infected, so I just wanted to check.”

“The result is?”

“You are still normal.” Yun Yanli seemed to be relieved.

When he grabbed her wrist, he took the chance to check her spiritual power. It was still the same level, which was much lower than it was in the Upper Bound. It seemed like he had overthought.
