Venerated Venomous Consort

This place was in one of the corners of the cave. If the battle went according to plan, Yun Qingluo would remain unharmed.

Meanwhile, the Firmament Stone sent an audio message to Gu Xijiu. “Master, I didn’t expect you to save her. Don’t you hate her?”

Gu Xijiu answered indifferently, “I hate her, but I don’t want to put Di Fuyi into a difficult situation.”

The Firmament Stone was silent for a while. “Master, do you really love Di Fuyi?”

Gu Xijiu was stunned by the question and did not speak.

“Master, if he is not Huang Tu, will you still love him?” The Firmament Stone added to its previous question.

Gu Xijiu heaved a sigh before answering very directly, “Yes.” She had fallen in love with him; she was sure of that. It was not because he could possibly be the reincarnation of Huang Tu but because of who he was as a person.

Even though she was waiting for Huang Tu to be reborn, she could not hide the fact that she had fallen in love with this man who was much younger than her. She had previously used the excuse that Di Fuyi was the reincarnation of Huang Tu just so that she could justify her feelings for him.

The Firmament Stone did not expect Gu Xijiu to be so open with it. “Master, I agree. Living in the present is the most important thing. You are meant to be together.”

At this moment, the formation was intact. As she headed back into the formation, she warned the Firmament Stone, “You’d better keep your mouth shut. We have to focus on killing this crocodile.”

The Firmament Stone remained out of her mind from then on. It was a spiritual jade, and it needed to absorb spiritual power to support its normal operation. Gu Xijiu hid a pile of spiritual crystal in its storage space, so it had been shutting itself down to absorb the power from these crystals.

However, it did not shut down completely. It still allocated some of its attention to sense the mood of its master. Therefore, it roughly had some idea of what had happened to Gu Xijiu recently, although it did not know the details.

It observed Di Fuyi and felt even more surprised! He actually wore the same attire that Celestial Master Zuo used to don! Did he get back his memory? The Firmament Stone could not believe it. The heavenly laws would not let him restore the memory of his past life so quickly. After all, his entire existence was erased by the heavenly laws.

It was a huge accident that Yun Qingluo could retain her memories of him. There should not be any other mistakes. In any case, Gu Xijiu managed to reunite with him again. Both of them had no past memories of each other, but they could still find each other by instinct. This showed that they were truly meant to be together. The Firmament Stone was pleased by the thought.

On the other hand, the crocodile that was attracted to this place was in a difficult situation. It had cultivated for thousands of years. Although it had not transformed into its human form yet, it had already obtained human wisdom, and its brain capacity certainly noteworthy.

It had no interest in humans because they were too negligible for it. That was why it did not appear even though the rest of the crocodiles were attacking Di Fuyi and his team. However, it later smelled the special scent of blood from Yun Qingluo, and its blood started to boil!

Its blood rushed into its brain and ignited all of its cells, just like the excitement one receives from cigarettes due to its nicotine content. It had lost its ability to think straight, and as a result, it was now trapped in these giant rocks.

When it came to this place, it naturally saw the large and small rocks that were arranged all around the cave, but it did not think too deeply about them. Besides, the biggest rock was only the size of its paw. Why would it need to be afraid of them?

However, after it went in, it found that something was not right. Initially, there were just a few rocks around the place, but now, it had become multiple towers!
