Venerated Venomous Consort

It was as if a massive hurricane was now on top of her and she could feel the heat as if the sun was falling on her. Before it hit Gu Xijiu, she already felt like she was going to be burnt alive. She closed her eyes and prepared to bear the attack!

“Gu Xijiu!” Suddenly, she heard a familiar sound. She felt heat and pain in her body, but somehow, her body sank. Everything in front of her dispersed like the clouds. She suddenly opened her eyes and found herself in the room. There was no upper bound, and the Penalty Fairy was missing as well.

She was shocked. Was that just a dream? Or was it true that her soul had been taken to the upper bound? She closed her eyes and tried to scan her body. She did not sense anything wrong. If she were really struck by the golden thunder, she would have suffered severely. Was that really just a dream?

Maybe it was the curse-like scream before the golden giant died that had left a strong impression on her and made her have such a strange dream.

She did not feel relieved. She sat down for a moment and let her spiritual power travel through her body for a round. She still could not feel anything wrong. She let out a sigh and felt relieved.

Sure enough, it was just a dream. When she was struck by the golden ball of light, she actually heard Di Fuyi. She looked around just to check if he was there. She was alone in the room and did not see Di Fuyi. Obviously, he did not come.

She looked outwards at the sky and it was still dark. Then, she looked at the hourglass. It was around five in the morning. It was still early, but she did not want to sleep anymore. She decided to meditate.

This meditation was particularly long. When Gu Xijiu opened her eyes again, it was already bright outside, and the sun had been risen to the middle of the sky.

The directed audio spell beside her flashed repeatedly. Gu Xijiu was shocked. This was the special spell between her and Di Fuyi. Did he finally take the initiative to contact her?

Gu Xijiu had wanted to arrogantly hang his call. However she was afraid that he really had something urgent, so she finally answered it.

“Xijiu, can you hold the salvation ceremony for the wraith in the grievance wall today? If those grieving spirits are not salvaged today, they will miss the golden hour and will no longer have a chance to be reincarnated. They can only wait for the punishment from heaven to dissipate their souls…” After she answered the directed audio spell, Di Fuyi had not stopped giving her orders and did not even greet her.

Gu Xijiu paused and said, “What about you?” Wasn’t it supposed to be his task to do so?

“I have other things to take care of. I can’t get out of here now at the moment. Good girl, please help to hold this ceremony. I will ask the four heaven’s gift disciples to go and help you. All the tools and ingredients are ready, and you just need to follow the procedures.”

Gu Xijiu frowned. Di Fuyi did teach her the procedures of helping the dead to rest in peace. It would not be a problem for her to handle it for only a few souls. However, there were more than a 100 thousand wraiths inside the grievance wall! To help them rest in peace, they must be released first.

It was too marginal to use her spiritual power to handle them. She told Di Fuyi about her concern. Di Fuyi smiled. “Do not worry, I’ll teach you a salvation array. It can be done if you use this large salvation array. Although it will consume a lot of spiritual power, there is no danger…”

He did not wait for Gu Xijiu’s reply and quickly went through the essential notes of the large salvation array through the directed audio spell.

After all, Gu Xijiu had been living with him for eight years. She could immediately understand many professional terms that were mentioned by Di Fuyi. She was smart enough so she could learn it quickly after listening to it.
