The Evil Consort Above An Evil King

Gu Xijiu grabbed his handkerchief and wiped her face. As she was stressed for a period of time, her face was somewhat dirty. Hence, the snow-white handkerchief turned yellowish as she used it.

When Gu Xijiu noticed it, she was speechless, “…”

She took a glance at Di Fuyi and saw that he was standing there looking at the handkerchief in her hand. A smile seemed to be on his face.

Gu Xijiu blushed. She was embarrassed as he seemed to have witnessed all her awkward moments.

She suddenly thought of something, “Hey, why are you standing?! You need to meditate for at least an hour after being cured! Otherwise, you’ll…”

“Otherwise what? I’ll lose my life?” Di Fuyi smiled faintly.

“Not that serious.” Gu Xijiu said lightly. “Only half of your body will be paralyzed!”

Di Fuyi was speechless, “…” If that was the case, then losing his life was much better!

Gu Xijiu took the handkerchief and went to wash it at the stream nearby.

Di Fuyi stared at her for a moment and asked, “Why did you come back?”

Gu Xijiu did not even turn back when she replied indifferently, “I’m afraid that I’ll be killed by your followers if you die here…”

Di Fuyi’s eyes were glimmering, and he said leisurely, “They don’t know that I’m with you. By the way, I think it’s not that difficult for you to burn my body to destroy the evidence after I died, right?”

Gu Xijiu stopped washing the handkerchief and replied rather emotionlessly, “Oh yes, you’ve just reminded me, but unfortunately, it’s too late! Why don’t you cut yourself with the saber again? I promise I won’t save you this time, but I’ll enjoy watching you being poisoned till you die before I try to burn your body to destroy the evidence.”

What a little bastard, how could she say something so heartless!

Di Fuyi was not angry but laughed, “Oh, my dear, luckily you did not run away. It’s good that you come back! You’ve been on the run for a long time, would you like to have some rest?”

What did he mean by ‘luckily she did not run away?’ Did he mean that luckily she did not run away, otherwise, he would be dead? Or was there a hidden meaning to it? Even though Gu Xijiu was curious, what he said was always unpredictable, and she did not have the responsibility to keep pondering on his words.

When she raised her head and took a glance at him, she had a sudden realization! Maybe he was talking nonsense because of the fox-eye gem on his forehead was dirty. It looked gloomy earlier, but it was slightly shiny now. Though it was not as dazzling as it used to be, at least it was not that gloomy anymore. Did the gem change its color according to the health of its owner?

From what the Firmament Stone had said, Di Fuyi seemed to be injured which had a detrimental effect on his external abilities. He could not clean himself and could not fight against those Thunderbloods Mastiffs. Now, he could not even heal himself.

Gu Xijiu still could not figure out which part of him was injured. Did he hurt himself when he was at the Tianwen Mountain but not show it? If he still wanted to catch her despite being severely injured, then he was indeed highly responsible for his duties!

Di Fuyi gently tapped the stone beside him, “Are you absent-minded again?”

Gu Xijiu recovered from her thoughts and smiled faintly, “It’s alright for me to be absent-minded but not you. I’ve told you that you have to meditate for an hour to completely cure yourself!”

“But…” Di Fuyi was looking at those bright red fruits that she had plucked earlier. “I’m hungry.”

Gu Xijiu, “…”

It turned out that this godly human could feel hungry too! She thought he had already mastered the ability to survive without any food!

Since she had picked a few fruits just now, she gave him one, “Have it then. I’ve washed it just now.”
