Venerated Venomous Consort

Gu Xijiu began to feel anxious and panicked. That was the first time she felt so worried in her life. Her heart was racing all day and she could barely focus or do anything about it. It was frustrating to be in that position.

Luckily, Luo Zhanyu reminded her, “Xijiu, do you want to pay your respects to His Majesty at the royal mausoleum?”

Gu Xijiu was shocked. “His Majesty!?”

Luo Zhanyu looked a little depressed. “Yeah, our emperor has passed away. His coffin has been transported back to be buried. Do you want to go since both of you were once very close friends…?”

Gu Xijiu immediately stood up. “Yes, let’s go!”

…

It was frequently raining during the festival of Qingming. Countless people were walking on the street as if they were going to leave this world out of sheer sadness. It was drizzling as the Qingming festival was just around the corner. Gu Xijiu was idling as she fixed her eyes at the tombstone in front of the royal mausoleum.

Rong Jialuo had a relatively high spiritual power. Perhaps, he did not expect himself to have such a short lifespan because he did not build a mausoleum for himself in advance. Therefore, this one was built in a hurry.

Rong Jialuo was once her good friend who treated her genuinely. She did not expect him to have this kind of ending. He not only lost his physical body but his souls were all destroyed as well. He could never be reborn and what was buried inside was just an unconscious shell.

Gu Xijiu was extremely depressed as she stood in front of the tombstone. Although it was drizzling, she did not use an umbrella or initiate any spells. She just let the rain fall on her hair and clothes.

She was wondering whether Di Fuyi would have a tombstone three months later. Instantly, she felt as if her heart was being squeezed by someone! It was so painful to the extent that she did not dare to think about it anymore.

There must be a way. There must! She would find it… No matter what it took! She could not imagine what she would do after Di Fuyi immortalizes; it would be like the end of the world to her.

Suddenly, she realized why Di Fuyi had to push her away earlier. It would be impossible for her to accept this outcome.

Perhaps, she could one day accept his betrayal. However, she could never accept him being gone forever.

Three more months to go, what if she could not find the solution? Was she going to watch him immortalize?

She lifted her head and looked at the dark clouds. There was not even a beam of sunlight today.

It was already two days and a night, but Di Fuyi had yet to return. Would he just disappear forever like what she experienced in the nightmare? No way! She would not let this happen!

She immediately jumped up. She could not continue waiting like this! She must find him.

She turned around and was ready to go out. Suddenly, there was a shade above her head. A green umbrella covered her head and the rain no longer fell on her hair.

“Why you didn’t bring an umbrella? Are you planning to experience being soaked in the rain?” She heard a familiar voice.

She paused, turned around, and fixed her eyes at a smiling gaze. He was wearing a purple robe, but he did not wear a mask today. His eyes were as charming as usual and she was always captivated by those charming eyes. The umbrella was a good complement to the scenery behind him and the combination made a beautiful scene.

Although he looked pale, he looked energetic when he tried to flirt with her. “Why are you looking at me this way? Have you turned stupid after soaking in the rain?” He applied a cleaning spell on her while he talked to her…
