Venerated Venomous Consort

These people gossiped very softly, and most of them even used directed audio messages. Little did they know that Fan Qianshi was gifted with an excellent hearing. Now that his spiritual power was already at the level of a Great Deity, his hearing became incredibly sensitive, much more powerful than any ordinary being.

He could even hear conversations that took place a hundred meters away from him.

“This man is so overrated. He even used his feelings to manipulate his master by attempting to kill himself. Otherwise, the union between the Divine Lord and National Master Di would not have been ruined.”

“The Divine Lord has not been treating him quite the same in the past two years. I heard that the Divine Lord even tried to expel him. However, she would not have anyone to take over her role.”

“The Divine Lord is the creator of the universe, a figure of immortality. She doesn’t need to look for someone to keep her legacy going. However, if she were looking for a successor, it would be National Master Di. I heard that the Divine Lord has been following him for two years now.”

“I agree with you. The Forbidden Land of God only allows the creator of the universe to enter. Others are never permitted to get inside, regardless of their power or status. We could not even get close, but National Master Di is in there as we speak. Obviously, the creator of the universe has taught him something we do not know. Perhaps, she has already appointed him as her successor, which explains why he could enter so easily.”

“Brother, you have a point. In this case, Mister Qianshi seems quite pathetic. Maybe he will always only be known as a disciple of the creator of the universe and nothing more.”

The contents of their conversation were not exactly pleasing to Fan Qianshi’s ears.

Irritated, he stared fixedly at the jade door with a wrathful spark in his eyes while clenching his fists.

“Master, why did you let Di Fuyi into the Forbidden Land of God?”

“Master, I am your disciple, and Di Fuyi is nothing. He cannot simply emerge as your successor.”

“Master, I do not want anything more but to be by your side for as long as I can. I only want to be your disciple. Master, you cannot take away my last hope.”

“Master, please come out and let them know that you care about me. Clarify the situation to them.”

“How did Di Fuyi enter the Forbidden Land of God?”

“What could be the reasons if he emerged from within, unharmed?”

…

Many questions started to pop out in his head. The more he thought about the doubts, the more insecure he became.

Suddenly, he was reminded of the candle dragon’s egg that was given to him a couple of days ago. His master had not given up on him, apparently.

The gesture gave him a clear sense of hope. With that, he took a deep breath and started to think aloud. “Master will surely be fine. She will definitely make it out,” he said to himself and the crowd.

He then turned to the jade door and continued his soft utterance, “Master, the candle dragon’s egg that you gave to me is about to hatch. I will show it to you when you come out.”

The crowd looked at him in disbelief.

A candle dragon’s egg that was about to hatch?

The Divine Lord had given her disciple a candle dragon’s egg. The remarkable gift would be a clear sign that she cared for him.

All of a sudden, the crowd broke down in tears amidst their discussions. Everyone was hit by a sudden wave of sadness and grief as tears started to roll in their eyes without any apparent reasons. Soon, everyone was crying.

What was going on?

They stared at each other helplessly, unsure why they were all crying at the same time.
