Venerated Venomous Consort

Since Di Fuyi was so powerful, nothing would have happened to him, right? All of a sudden, Gu Xijiu suddenly looked at her palm again. When she hit him with her palm earlier, he seemed to have taken a few steps back. Although she was angry at the time, she did not use her full strength. Even if this hit Chun Cao, it would not really hurt her. At most, it would only leave her with a swollen face. As Di Fuyi was significantly more powerful than Chun Cao, it should not have affected him at the slightest. Hence, he should be fine.

Gu Xijiu now felt like a fool for searching for him the whole night. Frustrated, she combed the hair that covered her forehead and realized that she was still drenched. She quietly cursed and pinched her fingers to cast a spell to dry her body. However, due to utter exhaustion, she could not do so at the moment.

She stood up and went back to her room to change into clean clothes. Suddenly, she thought of something and instantly returned to Di Fuyi’s room. She saw that the place she sat on previously was actually wet. If he were back now, he would be able to know that she had been there and that she was looking for him in the rain.

She bit her lips and subconsciously wanted to clean the chair and restore it to the original state. She did not want him to see that she cared about his wellbeing. Just when she was about to clean, she had another thought. She merely messed up the things in his room and then turned and left.

Di Fuyi’ had a neat obsessive-compulsive disorder. If he came back and saw that his room was in a mess, he would definitely clean it up quickly.

Gu Xijiu could hardly sleep throughout the night. She only managed to take occasional short naps. The sky outside was bright, and the sun shone into the room and alarmed her eyes. She got up with two dark circles and felt a little dizzy. She involuntarily blinked her eyes and then moved toward the wall to try to listen for any movements next door. It was quiet.

She teleported again and found that the room was still in a mess, just as she left it last night. He did not return for the whole night.

Yun Yanli was having a sweet dream when a knock on the door suddenly awakened him. He got up and opened the door to find Gu Xijiu standing outside, looking slightly tired and pale.

“Mr. Yun, can you help me find him again?” Gu Xijiu went straight to the point.

Yun Yanli raised his eyebrows in surprise. He seemed to be confused. “Him? Who?”

Gu Xijiu slightly bit her thin lips. “Di Fuyi.”

Yun Yanli remained silent. “I thought you have broken up with Di Fuyi? Why do you suddenly want to find him?” These are the questions that flashed out of Yun Yanli’s eyes. Although he did not directly ask them, it was evident from the look on his face.

Gu Xijiu looked awkward. She took a light breath just as she was about to explain herself to Yun Yanli. However, she seemed to want to convince herself, as well. “Although what he did was wrong, and I have broken up with him… It is a different story. He used to help me a lot. I cannot stay here and do nothing if I know that something happened to him. I just want to make sure that he is safe. Can you use your tracking technique to find him?” She really had no other way!

She could not contact him through the directed audio spell, and could not find him in person. Di Fuyi did not have teleportation powers so he would definitely pass by the city gate to enter and exit. Gu Xijiu had gone to the city gate and checked before, but the new official told her that he only saw him head out of the city last night and did not see him return.
