Venerated Venomous Consort

Chapter 2209: After All, We Are Engaged

Since their directed audio spells worked like a phone, the screen would display that there was a missed call from her. Therefore, Di Fuyi would definitely see the missed call and return her call when he was available. Was he caught in some danger, so much so that he could not break free?

The more she thought about it, the more she believed so. There was a mix of anxiety and regret. She should have followed him instead of letting him go alone. She should have persuaded him.

Luo Hua City was surrounded by a vast area of wooded and hilly lands. In the depths of the forest region, there were all kinds of wild animals. The spiritual crystal that Di Fuyi was looking for was a class-one gem, so he surely had to venture into the deepest part of the woods, somewhere where human activity was really scarce. The class-one beasts would only exist in the depths of the forest. That would be at least 1000 miles from the city.

Gu Xijiu sat with her legs crossed on the tree, not knowing what to do. She knew that he was indeed in the depths of the mountains, but his specific location was unclear. The only thing that she could do was to wait.

She continued to contact him once every hour, but every call ended in the same disappointment. She spent the entire day on the tree, waiting for him to answer her call. From dawn to dusk, she continued to try.

One day had gone by. Gu Xijiu had never thought that waiting could be such a torturing and helpless experience. Something must have happened to him. Otherwise, he would not ignore her call for so long, for he knew that she would be worried.

Gu Xijiu could not keep waiting any longer. She was ready to rush into any direction and begin the search. All of a sudden, she recalled a conversation in her head.

“If you are looking for someone, you can use one of his or her closest items to activate your spiritual power and sense where your loved one truly is, or at least the general location.”

“Does it work? Can I use my spiritual power to find the exact location? I want to teleport there immediately.”

“You can use it when your power is at level seven.”

“Level seven? Do I have to be so advanced? How long do I need to reach that level?”

“Why are you so anxious about it? Your spiritual power is already at level six. After a while, you should be able to do it. Even at level three, you can tell the general location of the person.”

“So you are saying that I can already use this power at level three?”

“At level three, you can basically tell the general location of the person. The difference will only be within a few miles.”

“Celestial Master Zuo, what level have you achieved so far?”

“The most advanced level.”

“No wonder you can always locate me so easily.”

“Be patient. I am waiting for the day when you are good enough to catch me.”

“I will not try to catch you. I will only try to avoid you.”

“That is depressing. What makes you want to avoid me? I have been so good to you.” “I have never felt so.”

“I am Celestial Master Zuo, who surrounds you every single day to help you out of your most desperate situations. Little Xijiu, you cannot be so ungrateful.”

“All right, I have no time to waste. Please tell me how to advance my power.”

“Try to say something nice to me.”

“What should I say?”

“Call me your fiancé. After all, we are engaged.”

The conversation was something that she remembered from a very long time ago. She did not know why it suddenly occurred to her at this very moment.

Gu Xijiu stood still on the branch but felt weak all of a sudden. Her heart started to ache. Breathlessly, she started to gasp for air.
