Venerated Venomous Consort

When Di Fuyi arrived, Gu Xijiu was busy checking the surroundings with Lu Wu and the mussel. She finally found something different this time because Lu Wu smelled something that carried the aura from the mermaids.

Mermaids dominated the ocean and they hardly went up to the land. Besides that, those who could go up to the land were usually the elites or the leaders of the mermaids. Since the aura was relatively weak, Lu Wu could not identify the exact time the aura was left there. However, Lu Wu could tell that the mermaid just appeared randomly and disappeared again. Strangely, its aura had combined with Little Fox’s aura. Did the mermaid just pass by here coincidentally or was it involved in the case?

Di Fuyi came alone, and he appeared out of the blue beside the mussel. The mussel had secretly caught a wild rabbit, and it was ready to satisfy its tongue. However, it was frightened and shocked when it suddenly saw Di Fuyi, who was wearing a purple robe, and almost got choked by the wild rabbit! It quickly tried its best to swallow the rabbit. “Celestial Master Zuo!”

Di Fuyi glared at him. Casually, he said, “I’m no longer Celestial Master Zuo.”

The mussel was confused. “Uhh…”

It used to address him this way. How else would the mussel address him?

Di Fuyi did not bother it but looked at the other three at the scene. “Anyone can tell me what exactly happened here?”

Gu Xijiu and Lu Wu did not bother to answer him because they were checking on some stains in front of the bushes. On the other hand, Yan Chen was not good at speaking; hence, Lan Yue courageously explained everything in detail from the beginning to the end.

Di Fuyi glimpsed at Gu Xijiu just as she finished checking on the clue that they found. Their gazes met each other. Gu Xijiu looked calm and normal while Di Fuyi’s gaze seemed rather dim. “What say you?” asked Di Fuyi.

Gu Xijiu was very straightforward. “After checking around, I realized there were some torn branches, and it seems that some intense fight happened here. Lu Wu could smell the aura of Little Fox and a mermaid in one of the bushes. If my analysis is correct, Little Fox was kidnapped by a mermaid who used the Ground Drilling technique.”

Yan Chen was stunned to learn that a mermaid was involved. “The mermaids would not simply come to the land, why would they kidnap Little Fox?” He then walked around the bushes and realized the bushes were perfectly fine, and he did not see any torn branches. He immediately looked at Gu Xijiu and wondered whether her eyes were working.

Lan Yue was also confused. He had instructed his people to search the area multiple times, but they did not even find a single strand of hair, not to mention any sign of an intense fight.

Di Fuyi walked over and took a look. He flicked his fingers, and a beam of light flashed across the scene. The perfect bushes immediately turned messy. Someone had covered the bushes with magic. Hence, an intense fight did happen here because they also found a few spots of dark brown blood stains.

Lu Wu quickly ran over and smelled the blood stains. Confidently, it said, “This blood belongs to Lan Waihu! Oh wait, this one belongs to the mermaid. It seems like the mermaid was also injured, but Lan Waihu’s injury was more serious.”

Gu Xijiu frowned. Lan Waihu possessed a level eight of spiritual power; however, she was cowardly. Thus, she might not be able to use 70 percent of her power if no one was there to guide her. Based on her Kung Fu ability and the knowledge above, if she could also hurt the mermaid, that means the mermaid’s power was not that high either. Perhaps, the mermaid’s power was below level nine.
