Venerated Venomous Consort

After she heard this sentence, Gu Xijiu was rather pleased. “Since my status is so high, the Emperor Immortal should be very anxious when I went missing. Right?”

Di Fuyi remained silent. In fact, the Emperor Immortal was not very anxious. Even though he sent people to look for her, it was purely because of Di Fuyi. After all, Gu Xijiu was a stranger in the Upper Bound. She was solitary and not subject to anyone’s jurisdiction. In fact, the Emperor Immortal had quite the headache due to her presence in the Upper Bound. Given the option, he would probably prefer not to bump into her so frequently.

Nonetheless, Di Fuyi did not want to offend her. He smiled and said, “Yes, he is very anxious.”

Gu Xijiu bit her thin lips. “Am I the top talent in the Upper Bound?”

“Of course.”

Gu Xijiu was surprised by his answer. Meanwhile, Di Fuyi was feeling even warmer than before; his forehead was covered in sweat. He was somewhat puzzled by the feeling. Although the weather here was scorching, with his cultivation, he never sweated this much even when he was fighting outside. What happened this time? Was the weather here hotter at night than during the day?

He was wearing a robe on his body, which was his usual sleeping attire. As it was getting a bit too hot, Di Fuyi gradually grew frustrated. He untied the collar of his gown and opened it slightly. Besides, the bed was covered by a curtain, so she could not see him.

Nevertheless, the situation was quite peculiar to Di Fuyi. After all, his tent had the function of controlling the internal temperature according to the weather. Was the function broken? He did not have a thermometer and could not detect the temperature outside from his bed.

He could only calmly adjust himself to resist the heat and the dryness. However, nothing seemed to have worked, and he finally found that something was wrong. The blood flow in his body was accelerated! A stream of hot air surged in the blood vessels in his body, and it was continually moving. It was concentrated in the lower abdomen, and then the vital part started to swell.

It was the first time Di Fuyi had this feeling. Although he tried to be calm, his heart was pounding in his chest, as if there was an evil fire in his body that was eager to escape. Di Fuyi usually had no response to such things because he was so young. Besides, his daily task was to practice. When he went out for any assignment, he would generally just do his assigned task.

It was only when he had physical contact with Gu Xijiu that he started to have mild desires, but they were all manageable. This time, however, was different.

Di Fuyi wondered if he was poisoned. He was a physician himself so he could easily detect if he had been poisoned. In this poor place, Di Fuyi did not think there was any poison that could actually affect him. Moreover, the people here did not have any reason to poison him.

So how could he explain his growing discomfort? His senses were amplified compared to the average person, so his hearing was quite sensitive. It seemed even more sensitive this time. He could hear Gu Xijiu’s shallow breathing and could even smell the unique fragrance from her body.

At first, when he smelled the fragrance from her body, he always felt calm; but now, he was burning up, and his organ was swelling up too. His breathing was abnormal as well, and he suddenly had the urge to rush to the opposite bed to hug the girl sleeping on it!

Besides, he was sure that if he wanted her, she would not refuse. However, he did not want to take advantage of her. He did not want her to hate him after she gets back her memory. His father taught him that if he really liked someone, he must respect that person. He should not do something that he would regret just because of a short-term impulse.
