Venerated Venomous Consort

After a brief wait, Di Fuyi was finally done with the setup. He turned around and saw Gu Xijiu sitting with her arms wrapped around her knees. Fixedly, she looked at him with a lack of engagement in her eyes.

She seemed a little lost, like a child who was about to be abandoned.

His heart ached for her again for a moment.

But later, he laughed at the absurdity. She was the most superior being that had ever existed. Why would he even think of her as a child?

As usual, he tended to overthink the situation whenever she was involved.

He shook his head abruptly to dismiss the unwanted thoughts quickly and put his emotions aside. “Let’s begin.”

He raised his hands and posed in a manner that suggested that he was ready to resist any of the impending thunderbolts.

“All right,” she agreed as she closed her eyes.

Steadily, she sank her feet into the sand and took the chance to catch a quick breath. Then, she started to dissolve the discipleship. “From this moment on, I, Gu Xijiu as the creator of the universe, will no longer be a master to Di Fuyi. Regardless of what happens, we shall embark on different paths from today onwards. Our lives will not cross paths from this moment on, and we will have nothing to do with each other anymore.”

Nothing to do with each other anymore?

Di Fuyi’s heart sank upon hearing her words.

Once Gu Xijiu was done, purple clouds started to surround them in the sky above, rolls upon rolls. Under the dark sky, her robes fluttered fiercely in the violent gusts of wind. “Fuyi, your turn now.”

He was overwhelmed by a sudden sense of anxiety, but it was too late for him to turn back.

With a deep breath, he followed, “From now on, I, Di Fuyi, will no longer be a disciple to Gu Xijiu, the Divine Lord.”

He did not say anything more, for he never intended to stay out of her life for good.

Ten years was all he needed. After a decade, he would become a more capable man. When the time came, he would pursue her again and not give her to chance to escape.

As soon as he finished speaking, the utterly stubborn Love Bracelet on their wrists shattered abruptly. The pieces then disappeared entirely.

Something did not seem right.

All he wanted to achieve was the dissolution of their discipleship. Nothing more.

He stood right up and uttered, “This…”

Before he could say anything more, the first streak of lightning struck like the deadly blade of a grim reaper. As soon as the violence erupted, it felt like doomsday was upon them.

He had never seen or expected such a horrifying sight.

Di Fuyi subconsciously evaded the streaks of lightning. Meanwhile, Gu Xijiu cast a streak of seven-colored rays to encapsulate him in a protective barrier.

Just then, a streak of lightning hit the seven-colored layer of protection and immediately shattered it into pieces. The flash of white light actually penetrated the barrier and struck him.

He could feel his veins boiling and aching in unspeakable pain. Even the colors started to fade from his cheeks.

The next streak of lightning was aimed at Gu Xijiu. She made a turn to cover herself in a seven-colored barrier of protection. However, no amount of protection was enough. The lightning dispersed the protective layer and struck her hard from above. Her face immediately went pale after just one strike.

The streaks of catastrophic lightning continued to rain down upon them, one at a time, leaving them no room to catch their breaths.

Every time the lightning struck, she would always protect him by casting a barrier around him using her own spiritual power. Although, it was not enough to stop the flash of electricity, at least she could help to absorb some of the force from hitting him head-on.

After a while, the clouds finally went away, revealing the scorching sun from behind them.

During the catastrophe, every part of Di Fuyi’s body was in pain to the point where he would rather just die.

But oddly enough, the pain disappeared along with the ominous purple clouds. The only thing he felt now was exhaustion. The man was so tired that he wanted to take a restful nap right away.

However, he tried to stay awake and quickly checked on Gu Xijiu.
