Venerated Venomous Consort

“Miss Jiu, your Kung Fu is impressive,” the man spoke in an alluring tone.

Gu Xijiu was impressed by the man’s Kung Fu as well. If her power were any weaker, she would already have been crushed. Meanwhile, from the intensity of the strike, she could safely conclude that the man was a Great Devil.

A Great Devil of the Devil Kingdom was equivalent to a Great Deity in the outside world, which was certainly a rarity. There were many great talents and strange people that Gu Xijiu had encountered in her lifetime. She knew that there were only two prominent Great Devils – the first one was the regent, and the second was his son, Meng Wuya.

His son was always traveling the world, so he had not spent a lot of time in the Devil Kingdom. It seemed that he was disinterested in his father’s political game, so no one paid much attention to him. All Gu Xijiu knew about him was his existence.

Nevertheless, as soon as he made his move, Gu Xijiu could immediately recognize him. “Meng Wuya…”

The man did not deny it. “It seems you do know a lot of people.”

He took a step forward, with his eyes still locked intently at her. “Miss Jiu, would you come with me?”

He tried to make himself sound as inviting as possible. In fact, his eyes were somewhat seducing her to follow him. Actually, he was using the Bewitching Spell, which was quite a move to use for a first encounter.

Soon, Gu Xijiu found herself caught in his eyes. Quickly, she started to lose her balance and stared back at him blankly. Repeatedly, she answered, “I will follow you.”

Smilingly, Meng Wuya seemed satisfied with the result. The mark on his forehead was blinking with a faint light now as he said, “That is right. Come with me, and I shall treat you well.”

He waved his hand at her and released an intensely fragrant smell. Meanwhile, Gu Xijiu started swaying on her feet before eventually collapsing into the man’s arms.

Meng Wuya looked down at the woman in his embrace and asked, “Miss Jiu, do you think I am beautiful?”

“Yes, you are as beautiful as a blossoming flower.”

Meng Wuya was happy with her compliment. “That is great to know! You have lovely eyes.”

He gave his hand another wave at her to shut her eyes.

…

The lingering moonlight lit up the entire hill, but there was no sign of anyone around.

Di Fuyi found himself on the spot where Gu Xijiu had rested before looking a little pale. Had she left? Her work was not done yet, right? She needed 32 more pieces. That should be another full day of work. How could she simply abandon her task? Di Fuyi took a quick glance around the hill, but could not see anyone. Where had she gone?

Although Di Fuyi was concerned for her wellbeing, Gu Xijiu’s Kung Fu should be enough for her to keep almost anyone away. That thought put his mind at ease a little. Nevertheless, he decided to contact her using a spell, but she did not pick up the call.

Was she ignoring him? How could she cancel their wedding so easily? Having known her, she would not simply ignore him this way. Moreover, from the way she proposed the cancellation, she sounded quite carefree about it.

It was normal for her to feel a little lost, as it would be quite troublesome for her to find another man to take over his role. She even mentioned that he was still a friend, so there was no point in avoiding him. Furthermore, she would not leave unless she had all the stones that she needed. Therefore, her sudden disappearance must be a sign of danger.

Di Fuyi closed his eyes and was determined to stay calm at all costs. A thorough search was then carried out on every inch of the hill. After some time, Di Fuyi caught hold of a rather strong smell coming from one of the spiritual stones.

Corals of three feet tall surrounded the place along with white doors that were made from the shells of hawksbill turtles. These doors were currently swaying along with the currents.
