Venerated Venomous Consort

“There is… Uhh, it actually…” Di Fuyi seemed to have been caught off guard by Gu Xijiu’s question as he was distracted by the dragon’s heart. He found Gu Xijiu’s curiosity almost overwhelming at this critical point.

Gu Xijiu’s curiosity was not unjustified. In fact, ever since she laid eyes on this treasure, she seemed to have been subconsciously more alert. A voice seemed to warn her to keep her distance from it. Therefore, although she found it intriguing, she was also rather cautious about getting too close.

Nonetheless, seeing how Di Fuyi had reacted to it had pushed her curiosity across the line. She took a few steps closer to it and asked, “What’s it inside?”

“There is… Why don’t you personally touch it? It is shocking!”

Gu Xijiu was still hesitant to come over. “It is just half of a dragon’s heart. What is so shocking about it?”

“Baby, this is not an ordinary dragon’s heart. I remember that you talked about the Journey to the West, saying that Monk Tang was a good man who had ten years of practice. He was the reincarnation of a golden monk, right? Therefore, by just eating one piece of his meat, one can be immortal. This dragon had practiced for 100,000 years. Its meat was more magical than the meat of Monk Tang… By just touching it like this…” Di Fuyi’s sudden change of expression showed that he was very surprised when he touched it.

Di Fuyi had seen countless treasures before. There was almost nothing that could make him have such an expression today. Hence, Gu Xijiu ‘s curiosity had inflated all the way up! Given that she knew that Di Fuyi would not harm her, she went over and put her finger onto it.

The heart was slightly warm, which was the first feeling that she sensed upon touching it. She did not feel anything special, except for the fact that she was inexplicably nervous. Subconsciously, she wanted to retract her hand, but Di Fuyi grasped her. “Come on. To feel the effect, press in this way and use the purification technique I taught you before. You will feel its difference.”

He separated her five fingers and placed them in the five veins of the heart. Meanwhile, Gu Xijiu followed his instructions and used the purification technique that she learned from him.

Pump! Pump! Pump! Her heart suddenly jumped fiercely! She felt a hot stream of energy rushing into her body through her five fingers. Its first destination was straight into her limbs, followed by her tight belly. This sudden rush of energy triggered something in her belly and made her feel as if something was unwilling to leave. All of a sudden, she could feel it pulling on her stomach!

Naturally, Gu Xijiu’s first instinct was to worry about her baby. She was afraid of losing her daughter, so she wanted to withdraw her hand and stop the entire process.

As she lifted her hand, Gu Xijiu could feel that the pain in her belly immediately stopped. It was a relief to her.

“Xijiu, do you trust me?” She heard Di Fuyi’s calm and authoritative voice.

Gu Xijiu was stunned by his question but answered without hesitation, “Yes!”

“Good. Listen to me and continue what you were doing.”

“But my stomach hurts from the practice. I’m afraid that our baby…”

“Do not worry. Listen to me. What I want you to do now is going to protect our baby.”

Although Gu Xijiu did not know why Di Fuyi was so nervous, she was also aware that something was not quite right within herself. Therefore, she took a deep breath and agreed, “Alright!”

She closed her eyes, trying to ignore the sudden resistance in her brain, and continued to exercise her power.

It was a glamorous setting with jade and corals scattered everywhere. Some pearls were bright like a light, swaying on the branches of the greenery in the area.

The road was not paved in stone but a particular blue jade. It was shiny and lustrous, making the golden halo of the pearl reflect on the floor like a shining star.

There was a peculiar palace in the middle, surrounded by clouds. By just looking at it, it felt like the palace was above all else, making people naturally want to worship it when they saw it.
