The Evil Consort Above An Evil King

The Qingxiao Pavilion was located in the middle of the Great Lake. It was a majestic piece of architecture, and the spiritual power here was the most abundant. Gu Xijiu could easily restore her spiritual power here.

Di Fuyi had also taken the time to visit her, but she was still angry at this naughty kid, so she had not given him a lot of attention. When she talked to him, she was always cold.

Di Fuyi did not seem to care much. He always stayed at her place for about 15 minutes before he left. However, eventually, he cut down his visits from three to four times a day, to once every two days. Later, it became once every three days.

On one particular day, after Gu Xijiu finished meditating, she opened her eyes and listened to the pitter-patter sound of rain outside. She then got up and walked to the window. She opened the window and watched until the rain subsided. The fairy scented grass under the window was swaying in the rain, and the air was full of fresh fragrance. It was beautiful.

Randomly, she had the mood to take a stroll, so she propped up an umbrella and walked out. Gu Xijiu walked along the corridor to avoid getting wet. The drizzle hit the lake and splashed its surface, while the fish in the lake jumped out of the water from time to time.

Gu Xijiu looked up at the clear sky. She leaned against the railings and looked into the distance. She saw the vast expanse of mist and was simply amazed. It had been some time since she could freely observe and appreciate her surroundings. It would be perfect if there were a pair of lovers who leaned against each other in this weather.

All of a sudden, Gu Xijiu’s vision became blurry as she saw another illusion before her eyes; it had been a while since her last experience. As usual, there were a man and a woman; the background was a small pavilion. The woman stood leaning against the railing, and the man leaned on her side. One of his arms was cuddling her, and she also leaned her head on his shoulder as if they were a pair of lovebirds who enjoyed watching the scenery.

She could hear the conversation between the two of them.

“Celestial Master Zuo, have you thought about having kids?”

“Do you want to have kids?”

“Yes, I want it! I want a baby boy, as handsome as you are! What about you? Would you prefer a baby boy or a baby girl?”

“I like them both as long as they are from you.”

“We will have them! I will use your kids to keep you so that you can’t bear to leave!”

“Stupid! I think the best person to keep me is you, not our kids…”

“Then I’ll have double insurance. When you have kids and me, you certainly could not bear to leave us! You have to try to survive, or else I might cry until I die!”

“Alright, I will try very hard…”

“Xijiu, even if I leave, I will try to come back. Please wait for me…”

…

The man in the mirage kissed his wife at his side, and the two of them hugged each other tightly. Gu Xijiu stood on the curved corridor and looked at the scene like a mirage in the distance. Even though it was a lovely scene, Gu Xijiu’s heart ached again.

She looked at the man in the mirage. Although she could not see his face, the purple robe reflected in her eyes and stung her heart.

“Celestial Master Zuo!” She whispered and extended her hand in that direction.

However, a gust of wind came, and the illusion disappeared. The umbrella that Gu Xijiu held in her hand flew with the wind. Gu Xijiu could only watch as the umbrella that fell into the lake swiftly drifted away. She snorted in disappointment.

This umbrella was a tool she brought up from the Lower Bound. She saw in the illusion that Celestial Master Zuo had shared an umbrella with her. The umbrella seemed to be this particular one, so she valued this umbrella very much.

When she saw it drop into the lake, she wanted to teleport there to take it. But suddenly, a hand patted on her shoulder. “Let me do it.”

A purple figure flew out from her side. Her heart jumped! It was Di Fuyi again!
