Venerated Venomous Consort

Yun Qingluo sensed Di Fuyi’s presence; she trembled as she looked up at him. She raised her hand toward him while her lips trembled uncontrollably. She said two words, “Save me…”

Di Fuyi smirked but did not extend his hand to her. Instead, he said, “The heart of the little demon you raised is being consumed, and you will feel the same feeling in your hollow heart. Does it feel good?”

Yun Qingluo’s body stiffened in fear by his response. She looked panicked. “What… What?”

Hua Qianjun and Guardian Jin were also confused. They looked at each other and looked back at the little heart that was in Yun Qingluo’s possession. It was an evil trick used to raise a demon in the Shura World. In the early days, many devils were raising little demon in the Devil Kingdom. They raised them for their own use, most often to be a weapon for killing.

But who did the little heart belong to? It was very cruel to refine a little demon in the devil world. One needed to kill children cruelly and condense their grievances into a little demon. Due to the process of creating a little demon, the creature would often appear in a gaseous state. Even if it looked like a human being, it had no physical body, and naturally, it would not have a heart.

Di Fuyi sat on a large stone, faintly glaring at her, “Still trying to pretend that you are innocent? Yun Qingluo, do you think that you are that good at hiding the truth? Do you think I really believe you?”

The rest of the group were puzzled by his harsh remarks, but they could see that Di Fuyi was serious, so they merely stayed quiet and continued to listen.

Di Fuyi spoke again, “You told me that the heart of this crocodile could be used to refine the medicine required to detoxify the poison in Gu Xijiu’s body. That is true. However, if I had killed it by ordinary means, its heart would have been useless to me! It would not be able to produce the required antidote, right?”

Yun Qingluo closed her eyes. Di Fuyi had unraveled her secret plan. There was nothing she could do to defend herself now. However, she wondered how he found out the truth. “You… How did you figure it out?”

Di Fuyi faintly responded, “You have been planning this trick for hundreds of years. You even refined such a special poison just to kill Gu Xijiu. You hate her so much, yet you told me the way to heal her so easily.”

“Easy? Was it not obvious that you had tortured me ruthlessly?”

“The torture was merely a punishment for your evil deed. However, I am aware that your body has a special characteristic- it is highly resistant to pain. Although you pretended to look like you were in a lot of pain, it was actually very minimal, right?”

Yun Qingluo bit her lip. She did not expect that Di Fuyi to know her deepest secret. Her soul had been reincarnated after she fell into deadly magma in her previous life. When she woke up, she was in the Shura World, but her reincarnation was rather unnatural. She did not have parents, but she still retained the memories that she accumulated over her past three lives. Furthermore, she was given a body that was highly resistant to pain.

After wandering the Shura World for many years, she finally met Yun Yanli, who had accidentally fallen into this place. Having gravitated to him, she became a tool for Yun Yanli to practice his dark sorcery. However, she did not wish to continue being his tool.

When Di Fuyi tortured her, she tried very hard to make it seem as though it was excruciating. She thought that her performance was good enough to fool him. Hence, Di Fuyi’s sudden revelation came as a surprise to her.

“If you want to deceive someone successfully, you need to tell them most of the truth in your lie. Therefore, I believed what you said when you told me that I needed to retrieve the heart of a specific crocodile. However, I also knew that you would subsequently do something to complicate matters. I was just waiting to figure it out.”

Yun Qingluo decided to keep silent. Celestial Master Zuo’s powers of observation were unparalleled.
