Venerated Venomous Consort

He was covered in a loose black robe and seemed to be carrying an aura of doom and gloom. Silver embroideries were delicately sewn on the fabric that displayed scenic landscapes. His robe danced in the air as he gracefully made his landing.

His hair was tied and fastened by a jade hairpin. In contrast to his pale face and white hairpin, his entire body was covered entirely in black.

The man was a masterpiece in his own right, with extraordinarily refined elegance. His facial features gave him the appearance of a fine young gentleman, but his aura, as an overpowering ruler, was not to be underestimated.

It was the first time Gu Xijiu saw his true face, but he somehow reminded her of someone she had seen before. She paused to think and realized it was indeed him. She saw him from her dreams.

In her dreams, she saw Di Fuyi playing chess against Fan Qianshi. He was wearing the same black outfit as the first time she saw him. He must be here to show off his supreme identity as a Creation Deity.

He looked clean and neat, with his hair perfectly done. No detail on his outfit was overlooked, and he certainly looked different from when Gu Xijiu saw him a few days ago. Perhaps he was only pretending to look messy back then.

His acting skills were undoubtedly convincing. It was a shame that he did not make acting his full-time career.

Fan Qianshi could obviously see them through the prison. His eyes lingered on them both, first on Gu Xijiu, and then to Di Fuyi. “Mr. Fuyi, what else do you have to say?”

“Do you confess to everything that I have just said?” Di Fuyi asked after a momentary pause.

Fan Qianshi swiftly agreed, “Of course.”

“That’s a surprise! I thought you were going to quibble for a bit and act all innocent.”

“That is totally unnecessary,” Fan Qianshi proudly said. He had been planning this for thousands of years and had been through slanders and humiliations to carry out his mission. It was a success at last!

Di Fuyi was trapped with no way out. He needed to savor the moment by making the most fun out of the situation! The man that he had been waiting to defeat and his moment of victory were finally in his grasp. He wanted for Di Fuyi to be sad and depressed as a compensation for the many tough years that he had to wield his power from the shadows.

At this point, there was no need for him to deny any further accusations. Instead, he was ready to tell them more.

“How many years have you been planning this?” Di Fuyi asked.

“56, 328 years. To be more accurate, I will even add five months and eight days,” Fan Qianshi made it very clear.

“What a long time.” Di Fuyi was quite surprised by his determination. “You have only come to know the demon for about 30,000 years, which means that you had spent the first 20,000 years looking for the perfect subject, am I right?”

Fan Qianshi answered, “That is right. A perfect subject is hard to come by. It takes a favorable climate and geographical position to brew a perfect plan.” After a pause, he then added, “However, you made a mistake just now. I did not learn the method of building the dark water prison from Luo Jiuchen. Instead, he got it from me. He was the one who spread the news.”

Di Fuyi continued, “Were you the one who planned for Luo Jiuchen’s bizarre disaster that endangered the six worlds? I was not even alive back then. What did you aim to achieve?”

“To test the effectiveness of a newly found spell.”

Gu Xijiu was dumbfounded.

She looked at Fan Qianshi in utter disbelief and started to question if he was indeed a demon himself. He put innocent people at risk by plunging them into an abyss of misery and death, all because he needed to test a spell.

Fan Qianshi caught her looking at him with eyes that were filled with disgust and utter disapproval. He then looked away.
