Venerated Venomous Consort

The mirror kept shaking and trembling while displaying two different sets of numbers at random. The glitch went on for a while before the mirror stopped flickering with numerous question marks on its display. Then, it shut itself down.

The mirror was indeed having a breakdown. All eyes were on Di Fuyi, waiting for an answer. His fingers knocked gently on the mirror to find out what was wrong. Suddenly, a thought came to his mind. “Did you mean that my physical age is six years old, but the spiritual power in my body has the experience of over 500 years?”

The mirror did not answer. “If I am right, answer me with an exclamation mark. If I am wrong, show me a question mark instead. Come. Answer my first question.”

The mirror trembled a little before displaying an exclamation mark. Di Fuyi was satisfied with its response. “When Mighty Immortal Gu stood before you, there were two displays of different numbers. Did you mean that her physical age was 232 years old, but her spiritual power was the accumulation of strength for about 11,000 years?”

The mirror gave three exclamation marks in response. Finally, there was someone who understood it. The crowd was amazed! They had not thought about that at all.

“Why didn’t the mirror show two different numbers for everyone else?” Someone had to ask the critical question. Di Fuyi gave the man a brief look before dismissing his question, “Most of you have your age well attached with the strength of your spiritual power, so you did not receive two different numbers. The mirror will only break down when the gap is too large.”

The explanation was reasonable. The crowd was satisfied with his findings. After all, the mirror had admitted it. Many curious eyes turned to Gu Xijiu, for they could not believe how young she really was. At her tender age, she already had the spiritual power that would take 11,000 years to accumulate. It was all but a miracle. As a comparison, she was even stronger than the Divine Lord.

The men looked at her in a different light now. They certainly had not expected that she would be so young; she was younger than anyone of them. Back in the days, even the Great Devil was not as strong. It was indeed a miracle. She was the next woman who had achieved the impossible after Ning Xuemo, the Great Devil.

The mussel was delighted. “Like I said, my master is only 232 years old, but none of you believed it. All of you have embarrassed yourselves.” It clapped the floor joyfully as if celebrating. Then, it ran across the hall to get close to Di Fuyi. “My prince, thank you for standing up for my master.”

Lu Wu wagged its tails at Di Fuyi and exclaimed, “The prince has always been very kind to my master.”

Smilingly, Di Fuyi answered their joyful words, “I am only telling the truth. I did not do anything for the unbiased benefit of your master.”

He looked at Gu Xijiu fixedly, and their eyes met again. “I would like to thank you, regardless,” she expressed her gratitude with a smile.

“Mighty Immortal Gu, you are welcome,” Di Fuyi answered with composure. She could tell that he was trying to distance himself.

All ten masters did not know what to feel about the truth. They had not expected the arrogant, mysterious ghost face, which had been giving them a hard time, to be so young.

They thought that Gu Xijiu would be at least tens of thousands of years old, at least to be on par with the Divine Lord. Finally, they realized that she was only a maiden. Moreover, she was a maiden of great talents.

In that case, it would not be a bad thing for her to be in love with Prince Nianmo. In fact, they would be a great couple. If the Divine Lord had known about it, he would not have any objection. Nonetheless, the masters seemed to have ruined the perfect match. The lady had made herself clear that it was all but a mission. Also, Prince Nianmo seemed to have distanced himself from her.
