Venerated Venomous Consort

Gu Xijiu responded with a playful giggle. With a step forward, she then placed her hand on his bare chest and whispered, “You are not allowed to show others how charming you really are.”

Di Fuyi was at a loss for words. Meanwhile, Gu Xijiu proceeded to dress him properly by covering his entire body, all the way up to his neck.

Di Fuyi looked at her and answered softly, “Of course, my beauty is strictly reserved for you.”

Then, he took her hand and teased again, “Are you trying to seduce me by being touchy? Do you want to have it again?”

Gu Xijiu did not answer, but she could feel his breaths next to her ear. Soon, her ears began to flush. She coughed and pushed him away. “We shall not. All right, you better be quick. I will go outside and have a quick check.” She turned and ran away.

Di Fuyi could not help but laugh at her. She was obviously trying to conceal her awkwardness. He thought that she had forgotten how it felt to be shy after playing the role of a man for too long.

When Gu Xijiu arrived at the plaza, it was already crowded. The people there were engaged in a very heated discussion. The subject of discussion was all about how Brother Stone’s night went.

“Brother Stone will definitely be late after spending the night with Mr. Di.”

“It is hard to tell. They did not look like they were ready.”

“Perhaps, they were not ready when we met them, but what happened after we left was an unknown. After all, there were a man and a woman alone in the room. Things will get heated up very quickly.”

“Even if they did it, Brother Stone will still be energetic today. Mr. Di looks thin and weak. He probably did not last long enough to exhaust Brother Stone.”

“It cannot be. I saw that Mr. Di was very strong when he took down the Phantom Beasts. His physical strength must be excellent.”

“Haha. Even if he has good physical strength, his body certainly looks the opposite. His size is probably small.”

The chattering continued over breakfast.

Tie Dan looked up and caught Gu Xijiu standing in the shade. “Brother Stone,” he greeted with a trembling voice.

Gu Xijiu did not hold back. “You all seem to have a lot of free time, so now I am asking each and every one of you to do 500 push-ups.”

The crowd was utterly surprised. They sighed in disbelief, but none of them dared to disobey her. They had, after all, got used to her commands. At every opportunity, Brother Stone would give them training to improve their strength. It was necessary to perform 100 push-ups every morning, but the amount suddenly increased by five times.

They saw Gu Xijiu walking comfortably without any tottering movement. A sudden realization came to their mind. Brother Stone must be frustrated by the dissatisfaction of last night’s events, they thought. It was only speculation; none of their thoughts was going to change their unavoidable training.

When the latecomers arrived, the first thing that they saw was a large group of men performing push-ups in unison. It was a rather spectacular view. After 500 push-ups, all of them were covered entirely in sweat. Exhausted, all of them lay unmoving on the ground.

Gu Xijiu gave them a quick look and said scornfully, “Why don’t you stand? Have you had enough? Do you want another 500 push-ups?”

Swiftly, all of these motionless bodies rose and stood. None of them dared to object.

Di Fuyi suddenly appeared from a corner and saw their tired faces full of sweat. “What you had is only an ‘appetizer.’ It is time for you to move your body around. Coming up next, be prepared to have your ‘main entrée,’” he said with a sarcastic smile.

They started to tremble in fear. Many stared at him anxiously. Mr. Di looked lively and energetic.
