Venerated Venomous Consort

The man in purple answered nonchalantly, “I only save lives. You should take care of it yourself.”

“All right, I shall personally give her a lesson to shut her up.”

“It is all up to you. I only ask for complete silence before I start operating on her lungs. I cannot risk killing her in prison due to a distraction. Once she is dead, she will not be able to be punished in the public eye.”

“Don’t worry. You can go in and do whatever you please. I will wait outside and be sure that nothing distracts you.”

Their conversation was carried out secretly through directed audios, so none of his men could hear anything. However, none of their secrets managed to escape Gu Xijiu’s ears.

The Monster King was indeed a bastard. Not only had he plotted against the creator of the universe, but he had also tortured Wu Qianyan and intended to use her body to save his sister’s life. Gu Xijiu was glad that she made it into the prison in advance. Otherwise, she might not be able to save Wu Qianyan.

She gave a stern look of disapproval to the man in purple. The cold-blooded man who cared only about money was nothing like Di Fuyi. Perhaps it was only his appearance that reminded her of Di Fuyi.

Gu Xijiu was overwhelmed by a sudden urge to take the mask away so that she could reveal the man’s true identity. At that moment, the mysterious man in purple gave her another look with squinted eyes.

Gu Xijiu found her heart thumping in anxiety. The man still reminded her of Di Fuyi.

…

Soon, the group of people stopped by a cell, and the Monster King unlocked the door for everyone to go in. Gu Xijiu finally saw her servant.

Wu Qianyan was obviously injured. Her face looked pale and lacking vitality. Bloodstains were all over her body. As soon as she heard the door, she opened her eyes and flew immediately into a rage. “What a foolish and self-indulgent ruler! You will never get any information about my master from me. What else do you want to do to me? Just do it. My master will get revenge for me on all of you.”

The Monster King gave her a wicked smile and said, “Don’t worry. I am not here to make you say anything. I even have a doctor here to help you with your injuries. You should do as he says and make no trouble.”

Wu Qianyan stared at him doubtfully and refused to believe anything that he said.

Nonetheless, the Monster King was reluctant to say anything more. He turned to the man in purple and said, “Mister, I shall hand over everything here to you.” He then left swiftly with his men.

The prison was sealed again, leaving the man in purple inside with Wu Qianyan and Gu Xijiu, who was still invisible. After the Monster King was gone, the man in purple gave his shoulder a few quick taps, as if sweeping off the dust that the Monster King’s hand left behind.

Gu Xijiu observed the neatness of his robes and the meticulous details of his appearance. The man in purple and Di Fuyi looked very much alike, and both seemed to have an obsessive compulsion for hygiene and neatness.

“Who are you? What do you want from me?” Wu Qianyan treated him with defensive hostility.

“I am here to save your life,” the man in purple briefly replied.

Wu Qianyan answered in disbelief, “How?” Suddenly, she thought of Fan Qianshi, and her eyes immediately glistened with hope. “Did Qianshi, the young master, send you here? I know he has many friends from across the world. He must have sent you here for me.”

The man in purple was unimpressed. “Sorry to disappoint you.”

He then put a seal on one of Wu Qianyan’s acupuncture points, so she could no longer talk. When all was done, he took a look at Gu Xijiu in the corner. “Divine Lord, how long do you plan to stay invisible?”

Astonished, Wu Qianyan certainly did not expect Gu Xijiu’s presence in the prison cell. She followed the direction of his eyes and looked at the corner of the prison cell. Perplexed, she could not see Gu Xijiu anywhere.

Soon, Gu Xijiu made her entrance. Slowly, her figure came into sight.
