Venerated Venomous Consort

”Good! Overlord Long, you are looking pretty good yourself.” The Celestial Master Zuo laughed in response.

With the straight face he had on just now, he was giving a warning sign to everyone not to get near him. Nonetheless, his smile was like a bunch of flowers blossoming. It was so attractive and charming.

The people here seemed to be influenced by his smile to the point where everyone in the area could not help but smile too. It was somewhat noticeable that the ladies were blushing and their hearts were pumping quickly.

Gu Xijiu’s heart was beating quickly too but for a different reason! Why did Long Siye refer to him as ’Master Di’?!

”Palace master... Princess…” Damn it! If I am not mistaken, he was that beautiful princess at the hot spring! He was a palace master and not the princess. She had misunderstood.

When Gu Xijiu recalled of what she did at the pool to prove to him that she was a lady, she felt angry and ashamed!

”Bastard, Little Cang! He was the damn palace master, and you should have known him since you’re so knowledgeable, right? Why didn’t you warn me that day at the pool?!”

The Firmament Stone felt hurt, ”Master, it’s my first time seeing his real face. Previously, he wore a mask wherever he went. Look at the rest; they too are stupefied.”

Gu Xijiu was angry, ”Why is he, a celestial master, known as a palace master? He looks so feminine, wouldn’t anyone mistake him for a woman?”

”Maybe it is because he lives at the Fucang Palace and he is the master of the palace. Hence, he calls himself the palace master? Nevertheless, the people usually call him Celestial Master and those who call him palace master should be someone close to him.” It was so rare to meet him that even the omniscient Firmament Stone did not know that Celestial Master Zuo was occasionally known as ”palace master.”

”Master, it is possible that the beautiful lady at the pool was not him but his twin sister. Look, their height and manners were different. The beautiful lady at the pool was so gentle and obedient; she obeyed you when you let her get out of the water and also when you wanted to tie her. On the other hand, the aura of this man was so strong that it gave everyone pressure even from a distance.” The Firmament Stone continued analyzing, ”Look at this Celestial Master, would you take him as a woman?”

”No!” Gu Xijiu shook her head in disbelief.

Though the appearance of this person was almost the same as the one at the pool, he looked like a man. Did he have a twin sister?

”What’s the real name of this celestial master?” Gu Xijiu asked.

”[1] Di Fuyi.”

What a smart name!

Celestial Master Zuo arrived here in time to block Long Siye’s way, preventing him from leaving even though he wanted to. He was rather straight-forward too. He did not greet the emperor but inquired directly, ”Where’s the person who received the gift from the gods?”

”It’s her!” Before the emperor spoke, Rong Chu had pointed his finger at Gu Xijiu to answer the celestial master’s question.

Di Fuyi first looked at Gu Xijiu’s hand which was eclipsed by Long Siye’s, before he shifted his focus to Gu Xijiu’s face. Upon analyzing his appearance, he spat out a few words, ”What an ugly little girl!”
