Venerated Venomous Consort

His fate was not complicated. He was the only master of his own fate with no one else to interfere. Moreover, the soul of the master of heavenly law would not be fragmented. Instead, he would only return to his position sooner.

Shen Jiuli thought about one thing, but said another, “I cannot tell his fate. I am merely making assumptions from his behavior and know that there will not be a catastrophe that he cannot go through. Sufferings will only make him grow. See, he managed to use the tracking spell when he needed it the most.”

It sounded reasonable. Quietly, Ning Xuemo continued to observe the images. On the display, Gu Xijiu had already left angrily, leaving Yun Yanli and Di Fuyi behind. The more Ning Xuemo looked at Yun Yanli, the more unpleasant she felt about him. Although she could not hear anything from the images, she knew how to read their lips to understand their conversation.

After a while, she commented, “Prince Yun seems to like Gu Xijiu as well. From what I see, he seems to be interested in the pursuit of the same woman. Who does he think he is?”

Puzzled, Shen Jiuli added hesitantly, “Xuemo, according to the heavenly law, Prince Yun and the lady are destined to be together. It is our son who decided to interfere.”

Ning Xuemo was astonished. “Ah?” She could not quite accept that her son was actually the third wheel who came between the destined couple.

Shen Jiuli heaved a sigh in silence. In their previous life, Di Fuyi and Gu Xijiu were only meant to be in a master-disciple relationship. It was him who decided to change their fates forcibly after falling for the lady unintentionally. Therefore, he had to suffer the consequences now.

Ning Xuemo continued to observe Yun Yanli. “I do not think that the man is all that simple; there is something strange about his aura.” He seemed to bear an aura of something stronger and darker. Others would not be able to tell the difference, but as the Great Devil, Ning Xuemo was sensitive about dark auras. She was able to sense something evil, even from the images of the mirror.

There was a profound look in Shen Jiuli’s eyes. Obviously, he had noticed the oddity, too. “He must be a strong man to be able to compete with the son of the celestial god and devil. The man is indeed no ordinary man,” he added casually.

He could not help but tease the man for his courage to fight against the master of the heavenly law for the same woman. The man was doomed to have a difficult time. If Di Fuyi were to go all out, no one else stood a chance. Therefore, Prince Yun was bound to suffer some unpleasant experiences. Silently, Shen Jiuli gave Yun Yanli a prayer to wish him luck.

While watching, Ning Xuemo suddenly panicked again. “I can tell that Yun Yanli is planning something evil against Nianmo. He is too weak to be his match at the moment!”

Frowningly, Shen Jiuli thought the same as well. Yun Yanli obviously had scruples about Di Fuyi, so he did not launch his strike at first. He tried to figure out Di Fuyi’s strength throughout their conversation. Di Fuyi had surely noticed his intention, so he remained calm and tried to keep him away. However, Yun Yanli did not seem to believe his words so easily. The couple predicted that he would make his first strike very soon. By then, Nianmo would be at a great disadvantage.

Shen Jiuli took joy in his son’s embarrassments but not his disadvantages. Although he had seen everything, there was nothing he could do to help, for they were a few worlds apart. The figure of a woman suddenly emerged on the rock. Gu Xijiu’s sudden appearance had softened the intense atmosphere between the two men who were having a confrontation.

Soon, Yun Yanli’s dark aura disappeared completely. He returned to his usual image of a kind, friendly man. Then, Gu Xijiu appeared and disappeared in an instant, along with Yun Yanli. Ning Xuemo and Shen Jiuli were both relieved. Although Gu Xijiu’s return had added another round of verbal abuse to their son, they were glad that he was safe.
