Venerated Venomous Consort

Di Fuyi shook his head. He wanted to know the reason too! It was a miracle for Gu Xijiu to be standing in front of him at this very moment! Until now, he still could not believe that it was real…

Gu Xijiu gazed down bashfully as she continued, “In fact… I have been around you for some time.”

“Huh!?” Di Fuyi was shocked as he glimpsed at her with a frown.

“I saw you wandering around the streets with my body. I saw you talking to it and I know you’ve made many statues for me… I thought you were doing these in order to resurrect Lan Jingke; I was so depressed at first… I wanted to leave you and I didn’t want to see you anymore. However, I just couldn’t leave. I had no idea why I was following you around even though I was so sad…”

Gu Xijiu’s voice sounded hoarse and her lashes were trembling.

Di Fuyi’s fingers clenched his fists tightly as he tried to suppress his desire to hug her. “I’m sorry…”

Gu Xijiu shook her head. “Initially, I thought it was because of the body and I thought I couldn’t leave the body. Later on, I realized it was not the case… One day, you went off for errands but you didn’t bring the body, I was still following you around. I could not be more than 20 meters away from you… I soon realized that the reason I couldn’t leave is that my only obsession is you…”

Di Fuyi was ecstatic yet melancholy at the same time. “Xijiu…”

“I thought you had someone else in your heart, but I still wanted to stay by your side as I couldn’t let go of the memories we shared… Honestly, I do feel embarrassed about it but I couldn’t control myself…”

Gu Xijiu paused for a moment. “After following you around for a few days, I finally realized the one you wanted to resurrect was not Lan Jingke, but me… Do you know that I was so happy that I couldn’t stop spinning around you…?”

Suddenly, Gu Xijiu wrapped her arms around him! Di Fuyi was stiff. He wanted to push her away but he could not let her go. While he was still idling, Gu Xijiu’s little hand already sneaked into his shirt…

That was harassment! The Firmament Stone quickly closed its eyes, he did not expect its master to be so aggressive! In fact, Gu Xijiu was not harassing Di Fuyi. She stretched her hand into his storage space and took out a few wooden dolls…

All those wooden dolls were of Gu Xijiu; they all looked so real. Gu Xijiu lifted the wooden dolls. “I saw that you made these every day. I knew you were very sad… I was very angry with you because I couldn’t understand why you had to push me away since you loved me so much. Why did you hurt me? Why did you force me to leave? I just couldn’t figure it out… I wanted to ask you, but you just couldn’t see me and couldn’t feel me…”

Suddenly, Firmament Stone interrupted. “Master, were you in the tavern when The Lord made a tableful of dishes? You took the prawn, didn’t you?”

Gu Xijiu immediately glared at it. “Do you not feel embarrassed to bring this up?! I thought you could sense me; hence, I was frantically trying to communicate with you. Sadly, you ran away!”

The Firmament Stone curved its body a little. “I thought it was a ghost! I was terrified by the wind…”

Di Fuyi sighed. “Indeed, I felt you were around me, but I couldn’t find your soul no matter what I tried…”

Gu Xijiu shook her head. “I think I was not considered as a spirit that time. I’m not sure what I was at that moment, I just couldn’t feel my body. Perhaps, the credit temple you built for me really worked…”
