Venerated Venomous Consort

Di Fuyi was lucky that it was only a wound; the bleeding stopped very quickly. Concerned about Gu Xijiu, Di Fuyi turned his hand, which was holding hers, around and observed her hand instead. “Are you hurt at all?”

Gu Xijiu did not let go of his hand. “No,” she reassured him. “I am sorry,” she said hesitantly.

“Hmm?”

“Had I not moved two steps forward, it would not be agitated, and you would not be hurt,” Gu Xijiu was still in remorse for what she had done.

Di Fuyi took a breath and caressed her hair gently. “Silly, do you really enjoy taking responsibility for everything? Even if you stood still, it would still see you and go into the same rampage. Perhaps, the attack would come later, but the consequence would remain the same.”

Gu Xijiu was astonished. “Why did it have a grudge against me?”

Di Fuyi was equally confused. Chaos was especially triggered when it saw Gu Xijiu, like a resentment that it had from a past insult.

“Perhaps, you have once defeated it in its original form?” He made a guess.

“Huh?” She could not believe that she once possessed such great strengths.

“It was only a guess.” He sighed.

After all, they did not grow up together. Before he was born, she was already taking over the world by storm. But if she had defeated Chaos, was it a beast from heaven?

Gu Xijiu blinked her eyes in apparent confusion. “I can see that Chaos is such a magnificent beast. If I really had defeated it, I would definitely have told you about it, since we were close, right?” Gu Xijiu knew that she would definitely brag about the achievement to her own fiancé.

Di Fuyi placed his hand on her shoulder before reassuring, “Xijiu, you used to carry a very low profile.”

Gu Xijiu was surprised by the discovery.

Di Fuyi refused to continue the discussion in order to prevent the revelation of more weak points to his position. Swiftly, he changed the subject. “All right, Chaos is now asleep. It will continue to do so for another four hours. After that, the barrier will close again. We have to bring the others out!”

Gu Xijiu was utterly surprised. They only had four hours to escape. Di Fuyi was indeed successful in changing the topic as Gu Xijiu no longer thought about the question about her past behavior. She was a woman of action, so she wanted them to move quickly. “What are we waiting for? Let’s go!” Quickly, she used her teleportation and carried them away.

They did not have much time, so they had to get everyone out soon. As for the situation of the valley that was beyond the barrier, she did not have time to check it. At this moment, she could only do one thing at a time.

The people in the clan were prepared for their return. Upon seeing them, they cheered in high spirits. Then, they followed their array formation and exited the cave in an orderly manner.

Over the past century, these people had spent most of their lives there. Most of them were actually born there. Although the living conditions were harsh, they were still saddened by the fact that they were leaving the place. Before they left, some emotional villagers were already crying. The heartfelt farewell continued to affect everyone’s emotion.

The sense of attachment was not helpful to the battle that they were about to face. Hence, the clan leader quickly motivated them. “You haven’t seen the outside world, have you? The world out there is very beautiful, with a city full of buildings and the streets filled with bustling businesses. There, you can eat whatever you want and wear whatever you wish. We can finally establish our new lives in peace. Our children can finally run around in the city safely.”
