Venerated Venomous Consort

Gu Xijiu remained unconvinced. “You must be bluffing.”

Di Fuyi observed her carefully. She used to act like an elder or a senior, especially when she looked at him with those eyes that clearly mistook him as a child. He had rarely seen her looking so innocent like a little girl.

It was a shame that her face was still covered in paint. Nevertheless, Di Fuyi’s heart throbbed in excitement. “You will believe me once we get to know each other better.”

Gu Xijiu’s heart started to race. After this revelation, she felt it would be normal for her to spend more time him. In fact, she even began to think of their future together.

“Do you have any other proof?” Gu Xijiu asked again.

Was the drawing not enough? Perplexed, Di Fuyi tried to recall. Then, he approached her closely and whispered into her ear in a hoarse voice. “I know that there is a spot with the shape of a butterfly wing somewhere below your collarbone.” She had revealed some parts of her body during their treatment for her injury. Although her body was mostly soaked in the water, he could still see the spot clearly when she lifted her arm.

Gu Xijiu froze momentarily at the discovery. Flushed with embarrassment, she retreated to avoid getting too close with him. “How dare you!”

The area below her collarbone should be private. He would not have seen it if they were not intimate. Perhaps, the young man was telling the truth. He could really be her fiancé, but how far had their relationship gone to? Had they had any physical intimacy?

Gu Xijiu believed most of his words by now. Relieved, she wanted to find out more about her background. “Did you come all the way to look for me? Where did we come from?”

‘We?’ Di Fuyi liked the term. He noticed the clan leader’s fixed stare. Apparently, he was equally perplexed.

Di Fuyi smiled. “Heaven.”

Gu Xijiu remained speechless.

Utterly shocked, the clan leader almost fell from his chair. He had spent some time in the outside world, so he knew that the greatest man with the greatest cultivation out there would not be half as good as what Di Fuyi had achieved. Especially when he managed to carry so many peculiar things with him, those things certainly did not belong here.

Moreover, Gu Xijiu and Di Fuyi looked very different from the people here. Their skin was white and fair. Their facial features were delicate and exquisite. Also, the color of their eyes was pure black.

He had doubts about Gu Xijiu’s background when he first saw her. Now, all his doubts were finally answered. They were from heaven! God must have sent them to the Shura World to get these people out of their misery.

The clan leader kneeled immediately and pleaded for their help to save the lives of the villagers.

Di Fuyi’s face darkened with uncertainty. “With our strength and skills, it is not impossible to bring all of you out of this place, but a foreign city may not necessarily be safe.”

The clan leader looked unsure. He had the same doubts before but was not keen on finding out at the time. Their hope about the outside world was the only pillar of survival. If the world out there was just as chaotic, or worse than what they had here, was there anywhere else they could go?
