Venerated Venomous Consort

Perhaps, he had really returned to the city. Due to the vast land of the forest, it was certainly easy to miss out on him anyway. Under the torrential rain, she decided to teleport away and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Shortly after she left, a figure appeared on a big tree. This man was wearing a black robe and had a purple jade crown on his head. There was a mask on his face so his identity was not revealed. It felt like he had been covered by a dark cloud and had been camouflaged into the dark.

It was such heavy rain, but there was not a single drop of rain on him. The robe he wore fluttered even though there was hardly any wind. He stood there, staring the place where Gu Xijiu stood a moment ago. He was slightly fascinated but did not know what he was thinking.

“Master!” A black shadow emerged from the earth and bowed to him.

“How?” The man in black robe did not ask much.

“I have searched all around, but I can’t find any trace of him.”

The man in black robes did not look happy. “Idiot! You can’t even find the whereabouts of a living person with the blood butterfly I gave you. Why do I still need you?!”

The subordinate was nervous and quickly kneeled down. “Master, I am sinful. I beg for your mercy…”

The black-robed man stared at him coldly. His eyes look deadly. He used his fingertips to create a spell and pointed it at the subordinate! It looked as though the subordinate was struck by an electric current. His body trembled, and his mouth was widely opened. However, he could not make a sound. He twitched on the ground a few times and finally did not move.

He died, and from his facial expression, it looked like an agonizing death. The black-robed man did not move. After the subordinate died, his fingertips pointed in the air, and a red light flashed. A blood red butterfly flew up and circled around him. Finally, it stayed on his fingertips. When the wings of the butterfly flapped, it looked very nice on his finger.

“Master, are you in a bad mood?” A young green clothed teenager appeared. He had bowed to his master before asking the question. This green-clothed teenager had a golden crown on his head and facial features that were undoubtedly beautiful- he had a pair of big eyes with long lashes. His mouth was relatively small and his skin was very fair. He even had a pair of dimples on his cheeks which made him look adorable. The only thing that made him seem masculine was the pair of thick eyebrows above his eyes.

When he looked at the black-robed man, there were complicated feelings in his eyes. The black-robed man glanced at him and said softly, “Die Er, your subordinates need to be retrained.”

The teenager lowered his head. “Yes, it is my fault that I did not supervise them well.”

The black-robed man looked at the blood butterfly on his fingertips. “Even with the help of the butterflies, he could not find his whereabouts. It seems like he’s hidden himself well!”

The teenager spoke, “Perhaps it is because of the heavy rain. It has covered all his tracks.”

The black-robed man glanced at him. “Didn’t you say that the blood butterfly searches for its target according to the smell of their blood? It is not something that can be washed away by water.”

The teenager bowed his head again. “It should be the case. This is why I am also wondering what happened. Even if Mr. Fuyi could hide his breath, he shouldn’t be able to change the smell of his blood unless he has been swallowed by some other beasts.”

The black-robed man snorted. “Even if he has been swallowed, as long as he has not been digested, this blood butterfly would bring us to the beast!”

“Master, is it possible that he has escaped to the city? Maybe he could hiding in an inn in the city.” The teenager guessed.
