Venerated Venomous Consort

“My master is here to make things clear, once and for all. The Emperor Immortal can be her proof!” The mussel scowled at Fairy Yingxue, before giving the emperor the final call.

All eyes were on the Emperor Immortal. “About that, I can be her proof. Mighty Immortal Gu is here to solve the conflicts ensued from this misunderstanding. Mighty Immortal Gu came to visit and explain everything to me. It is all a misunderstanding. What she has for Prince Nianmo is only restricted to the love and respect of what a senior should have for her junior, not love between a man and a woman. She only approached Prince Nianmo because of her mission assigned by the heavenly law. She was hoping to assist the prince in his progress to become a Mighty Immortal.”

The crowd was astonished. They certainly did not expect the answer.

Spiritual Master Yuhang took the note with a grain of salt. “Why didn’t Mighty Immortal Gu make herself clear before?”

Gu Xijiu answered scornfully, “Why should I simply tell anyone about the heavenly orders given to me?”

Spiritual Master Yuhang was at a loss for words.

“Why did you choose to state the fact now?” Fairy Yingxue was searching for a loophole.

“It is all because my master does not wish to continue having a misunderstanding with all of you, old ladies. She does not wish to be wronged any longer!”

Fairy Yingxue was clearly frustrated by being called old. “Why should she blame anyone for a misunderstanding that is caused by her own doing? She disregards her age to fit in with the young. If she had not done so, Prince Nianmo would not lose his head over the old woman.”

Gu Xijiu could not help but feel a sense of irritation about Fairy Yingxue. She refused to lower herself to the same level as the fairy and argue over the trivial. Her fingers twitched a little, but before she could cast any spell, a voice interrupted her. “When did I become the topic of discussion?” Pleasant to the ear, the voice lingered in the air.

Gu Xijiu recognized that voice. Di Fuyi was here! She looked up and saw Di Fuyi riding on the back of Bai Ze. He was dressed entirely in faded green robes. Icily, he eyed the crowd with nonchalance. Gu Xijiu had not seen him for the past two weeks, so his sudden emergence came as an astonishment to her.

The Emperor Immortal had told her that Prince Nianmo was also invited for the Celestial Flower Party, but the invitation was rejected. He made himself clear about his absence. Gu Xijiu was relieved. The embarrassment would not be difficult for him to bear in his absence, so she certainly did not wish to see him at the event. Surprisingly, he showed up.

Most of the people had never seen him. Stunned by his grace and elegance, everyone’s jaw dropped in disbelief. Fixedly, they stared at the unexpected guest. The Emperor Immortal realized Di Fuyi’s identity first, as he had heard from the four Great Guardians about the existence of Bai Ze, the divine being. There was no doubt in his mind when he saw the two together.

He rose and greeted courteously, “Prince Nianmo!”

The shocking effect rippled across the entire hall. They could not believe that the unexpected guest was actually Prince Nianmo. Prince Nianmo’s matured look certainly did not match his age. Utterly confused, they could not believe their eyes, but they were confident that the Emperor Immortal would not falsely recognize the prince. Also, Bai Ze would not let anyone else ride it.

After the sudden revelation, all of them finally kneeled. “Prince Nianmo!” Everyone kneeled, except 13 people. Ten were the masters. One was Gu Xijiu. One was the Emperor Immortal, who was standing half bowed. The other one was a young Mighty Immortal.

Obviously, the young Mighty Immortal could not process what he saw. “Mr. Fuyi?” The man’s voice was especially loud in a room of complete silence. Everyone could hear him clearly. Therefore, all of them were stunned momentarily by yet another surprise announcement. After all, Mr. Fuyi was a widely known man in the Saha World.
