The Evil Consort Above An Evil King

The weather was scorching, enough to make Di Fuyi grumpy. The air was so dry; it was hard even very to breathe. Di Fuyi was still unfamiliar with the climate here. He tried to sense the surroundings, only to realize there was no spiritual aura present.

As far as he was concerned, every place would undoubtedly be filled with a certain level of spiritual energy. It was only a matter of intensity, but this place offered no spiritual aura at all. It was, indeed, a horrible place.

Di Fuyi was disturbed but was not really concerned. With her by his side, everything else was not a problem anymore.

While in a daze, a loud growling noise could be heard from afar. It was loud enough to cause the ground to tremor.

“We have to leave now! Go!” Someone shouted out loud. Everybody else started to move very quickly. Gu Xijiu picked up her speed, only to realize that Di Fuyi was still strolling behind. A plume of black smoke started to emerge not too far behind him. Soon, the smoke began to form a distorted shape.

She swiftly teleported to his side and grabbed his arm. She had to teleport him away from the smoke formation. “Are you trying to kill yourself? Let’s go!”

He finally recovered from his thoughts and caught up with her. “What is it?”

“Look behind!”

Di Fuyi turned around and was astonished by the sight. The rocks behind him started to release large plumes of black smokes. The smoke formed fluffs of strange clouds in ghostly shapes. They spread swiftly in all directions.

‘What was that?’ Di Fuyi held the handle of his sword tightly.

“Touch it, and you are dead! Do not try to fight. Let us go!” Gu Xijiu grabbed him and started running together.

The young man knew nothing about the world and was overwhelmed with curiosity. Moreover, he was not afraid of death.

If another man were involved in the same situation, she would not care less about him. As for the young, curious man before her, she somehow had a sense of affection for him, so she could not simply leave him behind.

Di Fuyi took a look at her delicate hand and grabbed it tightly. “All right, I will listen to you.” He then started running.

Seeing them running hand in hand was a shocking sight to the others. The Brother Stone that they knew of was someone who disliked having anyone in close proximity. Why did Brother Stone take the hand of the stranger so often today? Was there a change of heart?

Before the dark fog caught them, Di Fuyi, along with the men, leaped into a hole in the ground, which was well hidden behind a big rock. When everyone was finally hidden, they sealed the entrance again.

The cave was long and extended deep into the ground. There were more than ten miles ahead for them to move about.

A torch was ignited to light up the cave. As the light flickered, they could finally see the tunnel clearly. The group was finally relieved. As they walked, they delightfully discussed the amount of their harvest from the battle.

Di Fuyi was astonished by their amusement with the dead bodies. “Do you eat the bodies?” He looked at Gu Xijiu curiously.

“They taste good. I will grill the meat and let you have a try.” Gu Xijiu sounded as equally delighted as the rest.

“Great! I like it when you cook.”

Gu Xijiu wanted to ask him some questions, but she hesitated, as others were present as well. She lowered her voice and told him some facts, “I have lost all memory. Therefore, I do not know who I really am. The leader of the clan has adopted me as his son. Everyone here knows me as Stone. I will show you our clan leader later, but you have to make sure not to say anything stupid, or you could get yourself killed!”
