Venerated Venomous Consort

The sudden disappearance of the beasts caused heartbreak for their owners. Every day, they would cry in the Golden Temple and beg the Emperor Immortal to send people to look for their pets.

Over the past two days, the Emperor Immortal had discussed with the officers about the details. Long Siye was the right arm of the emperor, so naturally, he could not be absent. He could not even take leave at this moment. He often spent his entire day in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Today was the first time that his meetings ended earlier; the red sun on the horizon was still visible. When he returned to his house, he did not even change his clothes but went straight to look for Gu Xijiu. His servant told him that she was still in the garden, so he rushed there.

He saw her lying on the rocking chair and went closer. It was rare that she was still awake, and she was bored while playing with the willow branches. The evening wind blew her hair, and her beauty was suffocating.

Long Siye leaned on a big stone and looked at her for a moment; then he walked over. “Xijiu, you look much better today.”

He walked forward to check her pulse, as per his regular routine. Her pulse was much better than before. His eyes fell on her hands that were knitting something. She was knitting a swan, and it looked very lively.

A sudden familiarity had struck him. A sentence then appeared in his mind. “How can a sparrow know the passion of a swan. Instructor Long, you are a swan; you will be successful in the future. I want to give you this as a gift.”

His eyes slightly widened. He had a feeling that this occurred in his past life with her. Unfortunately, she had never mentioned anything related to the past to him. She never even mentioned anything about the Lower Bound to Long Siye. Whenever he asked, she always smiled and told him that as he was now living a new life, he should start every new and not hold on to the past.

If Gu Xijiu did not want to say something, she would never tell no matter how much he asked. Therefore, Long Siye did not pester her. However, he knew that there must have been something between them. He also knew that she was the Lord in Lower Bound, and he was her subordinate.

“Xijiu, can I have this?” He asked her.

Gu Xijiu was a generous person, so she handed it to him. “Well, you are like a swan, and it is your time to make great achievements. It is a good sign to give you this gift.”

Long Siye looked at the knitted swan for a moment then kept it carefully. He chatted with her again and talked about the recent disappearance of fairy beasts. He was afraid that she was tired, so he did not tell in too much detail.

Gu Xijiu did not show any concern about the fair beasts; instead, she asked, “Is there any news about Nianmo?”

Long Siye was slightly bitter. After Di Fuyi left, Gu Xijiu asked about him almost every day. Apparently, she was worried about that kid.

Long Siye sighed. “Xijiu, you can rest assured. Those people are his masters, and they will not be unfavorable to him in any way. He will not be in danger. Besides, the Fengyun Valley is far away from here. It will take at least five to six days for him to go back and forth, excluding the time spent on getting the cure. It’s only been about three days; he can’t come back so quickly.”

Long Siye preferred not to talk about that child. He looked at Gu Xijiu and spoke, “Xijiu, I think you can eat some meat today.”

Gu Xijiu sighed with relief. “I want to eat fish!” These days, she had been eating the greens and radishes every day. She was rather sick of it now. However, her injury required her to eat light and as little as possible, so she had been eating porridge every day.

Long Siye was excited. “Alright, I am going fishing.” He was very good at fishing, and soon, he fished a few sea basses out of the pond.
