Venerated Venomous Consort

Fortunately, Lu Wu was a fire beast. Hence, even after walking for so many days, it still looked well as before. The only concern was that its beautiful eyes were full of exhaustion. After four days and four nights of searching, its owner did not even rest for two hours but just continued searching for the Purple Cloud Mushroom!

Lu Wu looked at Gu Xijiu and noticed that her eyes were a little red, but she was still energetic. She bit her lips and only answered with one word, “Continue!”

Well, the Purple Cloud Mushroom was the only hope of their master. She would try her best to find it. Thus, the mussel and Lu Wu continued to accompany her in the search. In this forbidden place, there were spewing fires as well as unknown fire beasts that jumped out from time to time and wanted to hurt them.

They were not too overpowering thus far, but quite troublesome nonetheless. Although Gu Xijiu and the two beasts could kill them eventually, it was indeed very exhausting…

There was no day or night here as the sky had always been red. Gu Xijiu calculated the time according to the watch on her body. Di Fuyi said that she could only stay here for six days, which meant she had less than two days. However, she still had no clue where to find the mushroom.

Her heart was getting tired. It grew heavier and heavier each passing moment. What if it was really just a dream? What should she do? It was boiling around her, but her hands and feet were bursting with coldness. Suddenly, she stopped!

The mussel almost bumped into her. It took a step back and asked, “Master, what’s wrong?”

“I… I suddenly feel uncomfortable…” Gu Xijiu could not help but press on her chest. Her pretty face was pale.

“Master, you are too tired; I think you should take a break. You can’t do this anymore.” The mussel used its clam shell to support her back.

Gu Xijiu bit her lips. Was this the reason? Maybe! After all, she was not just staying up late in this place… she had to constantly utilize a spell just to stay alive.

However, she could not afford to rest! There were still two nights, and a day; she could not sleep. She shook her head. She did not know why but she inexplicably wanted to shed tears.

She initially wanted to continue walking, but at this moment, she felt that her legs were weak and she could hardly stand! A cold sweat came out along her forehead. Finally, she leaned on the mussel’s shell and almost fell to the ground.

“Master! Master!” The mussel was frightened. It hurriedly put her into its shell. The stones on the ground were scorching hot; if its owner sat down, she might get burned…

It was quite cool inside the shell. The mussel shrank its body into the shell and looked at her with concern. “Master, your face looks terrible! Do you want to take a break? Hey, master, why are you crying?”

Gu Xijiu did not know what was going on but just felt like she wanted to cry!. Her tears dropped uncontrollably. She wiped the tears on her face and shook her head. She tried to talk, but her throat seemed to block by a duck egg, and she could not speak.

“Master, I think it may be too hot… What is the term? Heatstroke! You must be getting a heatstroke!” The mussel pretended to be a doctor and concluded.

It took out a bottle of iced honey water for her. “Come, master; drink it.”

Gu Xijiu also felt thirsty, so she took a few mouthfuls of the drink. Di Fuyi made it.
