Venerated Venomous Consort

As it was already late at night, the lanterns decorating the nearby shops were at half their brightness. Di Fuyi stood in his dark robe that fluttered in the wind. The light drew a faint silhouette on him. He was not wearing a mask, and his smile felt like a spring breeze.

Gu Xijiu’s heart naturally skipped a few beats. Although she was really close with him lately and they seemed inseparable, she was still attracted by his handsome face. Every time he smiled at her, she would feel her heart pound in her chest.

Earlier, Ye Ling had asked her what was so good about her fiancé and what made him better than Ye Ling. She just smiled and answered that they were both very different people, so it was unfair to make a comparison. However, looking at Di Fuyi now, she was reminded of the clear differences between them.

Di Fuyi was elegant, and it came naturally to him. Ye Ling was nowhere near as graceful or charming. It was clear that he was putting on a show.

“You are the most handsome person!” Gu Xijiu held Di Fuyi’s hand and put her head on his shoulder. “No one can compare to you!”

Di Fuyi did not expect to be so enthusiastically praised. He felt that it was funny, but he was still happy to hear it. He raised his hand and caressed her hair. “Why have you said this all of a sudden?”

Perhaps no one could compare with him here, but what about Huang Tu? Di Fuyi wanted to ask, but of course, he would not do such a silly thing.

Gu Xijiu did not answer his question but took his arm and walked side by side with him. She could not help but sigh. “Fuyi, how did I get you to be my man?”

He was so handsome and smart. On top of that, he was always kind to her. He was the perfect man to her, and she still could not believe that he was hers. She always thought that it was too good to be true. The person she loved was by her side, and she could be entirely dependent on him. There was no other man in her heart. Even though they were not officially married, she treated him as her husband.

Even Di Fuyi felt as though he was dreaming; it was a sweet dream, indeed. Although the environment here was significantly worse compared to heaven, Di Fuyi did not hate this place. If he could be with her, then it was a paradise for him. He secretly hoped to stay here for a few more days.

Gu Xijiu suddenly remembered the old patriarch and was worried that he would be attacked, so she went to the hut to look for him. The old patriarch was still alive and well.

This made Gu Xijiu heave a sigh of relief. She sat and talked to the old patriarch for a while. The old patriarch was also thinking about her, and he was relieved to see her alive. He could not help but ask, “Xijiu, is the city owner my servant from before? Is he Ye Nu?”

Gu Xijiu pondered for a moment before answering. She decided to tell him the truth. “It should be him.” The old patriarch sat in stunned silence. He did not want to believe it.

Gu Xijiu understood his feeling. Anyone who faced this situation would wonder what went wrong.
