Venerated Venomous Consort

He offered the naked princess an overcoat made of crane feathers. Her body was still twitching uncontrollably on the ground due to the intensity of the pain she had to experience. She could not even stand on her own, so the Monster King had to bend down and carry her in his arms before leaving.

“Are you trying to take her away so easily?” Feng Jiayi scornfully questioned.

The Monster King stopped walking and glanced back at Feng Jiayi with an unrelenting look. “What more do you want?”

“You have promised the people that once we found the murderer of the missing girls, he or she will be punished publicly by dismembering the murderer’s body. Now that we have the murderer, I am wondering when you will punish the princess.”

The Monster King looked uncomfortable. “I know exactly what to do, so there is no need for your concern.”

“Brother, this couple… This couple has made some evil plots against me. Please, get revenge for me, brother.” The woman pleaded with her brother, “Brother, do not… Do not let them go! We have to uphold the reputation of our royal family.”

The Monster King was inspired to kill. His sister was right. In order to protect the name of his family, the couple had to die.

“Take them!” He commanded. All of his men quickly gathered around the two outsiders.

The Monster King’s facial expression darkened. “These people have the audacity to belittle the royalty of the Monster Kingdom. Cease them!”

However, a sudden voice interrupted him, “Yao Xingye, how have you been doing?”

Much to his surprise, he looked around and saw the hideous woman under the tree. She was no longer her mundane self. Instead, streaks of brilliance started surrounding her body and slowly stripping away her disguise. When the light faded, a beautiful woman in a green magic dress was standing under the tree. There was an emerald magic wand in her hand.

The Monster King was utterly shocked! She was the creator of the universe! He once saw Gu Xijiu from afar when he visited the valley. She looked exactly the same as she wore the same outfit.

The Monster King was dumbstruck, and so were his men. At this very moment, Gu Xijiu’s aura was extremely intimidating, unlike before. She did not look anything like the woman they had seen earlier.

Feng Jiayi was shocked as well. He was about to play his flute to defend them, but seeing Gu Xijiu changed his mind.

“My Divine Lord!” The Monster King knelt along with his men.

Gu Xijiu heaved a sigh of relief. Her kung fu was already depleting, but the look in her eyes remained murderous. She could tell that the Monster King wanted her and Feng Jiayi dead just moments ago.

His spiritual power was almost at the level of a Great Deity. Furthermore, all of his men were among the most powerful and experienced fighters in the Monster Kingdom. Even with Feng Jiayi’s help, their combined strength would not be sufficient to fight them off. They might even die here in the wild.

Fortunately for Gu Xijiu, death would never truly dawn on her. Her physical body might not survive, but her soul would remain. Nonetheless, she would need at least a decade to create a new body from elementary particles.

Time was her only concern right now, and there was not much of it left for her. She had no choice but to reveal her true self.

Fortunately, the Monster King was indeed intimidated. None of his men dared to take any moves.

Then, Gu Xijiu took a look at the prostrate figure on the ground and asked, “How do you plan to deal with your sister?”

The Monster King stammered, “About that…”

Panicked, cold sweats started breaking out on his forehead. He was a loving brother who doted on his sister. Never had he thought that his beloved sister would become involved in such a terrible mistake.

In recent years, many girls had lost their virginity, and eventually their lives, to an unknown murderous creature. Some of these victims were the common people of the Monster Kingdom. Some were even the daughters belonging to noble families. Two cabinet ministers had also lost their beloved daughters to the murderer. Hence, the death toll had caused great alarm to the people.

The Monster King had sent out many of his men to investigate the matter, but the case remained unsolved.
