Venerated Venomous Consort

There were many people praying outside; hence, it was very crowded. The people continuously kowtowed while facing the statue in the temple as they repeatedly asked for blessings. Some were praying to get pregnant, some were praying for wealth, some were praying for love. Everyone wanted something.

The scene was nothing unusual to Gu Xijiu because she had seen it multiple times in the current and modern era. She was curious who they were praying too and her gaze finally fell on the beautiful and fine fairy statue!

She had seen many statues of different immortals. Some were ferocious, some looked very kind and gentle, some looked very handsome… However, she has never seen such a beautiful and realistic statue!

To her surprise, it was a statue of herself! It was of the finest quality and perhaps looked better than the real person. Gu Xijiu never imagined someone would make a statue of her and that people would worship and pray to her as if she was a fairy.

There was a title for this deity under the feet of the statue- ‘The Great Celestial Master Gu’.

Celestial Master Gu… Was it not supposed to be Celestial Master Lan(Jingke)? Was that specially made for Gu Xijiu? Was that a compensation for her because he felt guilty?

She heard that the credit temple could help to accumulate blessings for the person who was worshiped and prayed to by the citizens; hence, it would bring her good fortune.

Only those great people who have made significant contributions to society and saved the people from disaster deserved such a credit temple. The citizens would usually build a temple for them after they passed away so that they could continue to hear their prayers and receive their praise and gratitude.

In fact, Nezha[1] killed himself due to the threats of the Dragon King from the Eastern Sea. Thus, his mother built a credit temple for him so that he could receive prayers and blessings in order to be reborn again in the future.

Was Di Fuyi planning for her to be reborn? Was that something he would really want?

Suddenly, tears rolled down her cheek. She seemed to recall the moment her souls were broken into pieces and Di Fuyi rushed in to catch them. At that point, she could not really hear everything that was said by Di Fuyi but she remembered that he was sobbing.

She remembered that some warm water spilled on her face, and that was probably his tears. Di Fuyi was always a strong person, he probably never cried before. Even during their time together, she has never seen it. However, he really cried when he hugged her in his embrace.

His body was trembling when he hugged her. She remembered he was shouting her name… She knew that he liked her and she never denied it. However, she did not want him to be in a difficult position and she did not want to see his hair turn white… After all, he has been planning for Lan Jingke’s resurrection for so many years…

Gu Xijiu was having a complicated feeling as she continued to look at the statue. She felt a combination of bittersweet feelings inside.

“Baby, look; does it look like you? I made this by myself.” She was shocked when she suddenly heard Di Fuyi’s voice. She looked at Di Fuyi by following the direction of his voice. He was sitting on a crossbeam up there with her physical body placed on his lap. He was whispering beside the body as he wrapped one of his hands around her waist.

Apparently, he made himself invisible. Thus, none of the prayers saw him.
