The Evil Consort Above An Evil King

“This has nothing to do with the heavenly gift, right?”

Gu Xijiu closed her eyes and continued, “I have the right to remain silent for all questions which are irrelevant to the heavenly gift.”

Di Fuyi remained silent. He has had quite a few ‘first-time’ experiences throughout his interactions with Gu Xijiu. This was the first time he found someone who was not afraid of him, the first time that a girl was rude to him, and the first time he got poisoned by someone! Besides that, it was also the first time he realized that there was a girl who was not captivated by him and instead tried her best to escape from him! It was the first time he realized that his heart beat differently. He realized that he could not let go!

His fingers tapped gently on the table as he replied, “Fine, I won’t ask you any questions. But how about we sing a song? It will be extremely boring to endure such a long journey doing nothing. I found your singing quite good.”

Gu Xijiu opened her eyes and replied, “Aren’t you afraid that I will poison you again?”

Di Fuyi laughed, “I’m not sure. I guess you’re not that dumb!?” She must be stupid if she did that to him again.

He picked up his glass and took a sip of the drink. He then suddenly retrieved a jade hammer and began to knock on the wine glass to compose a melody. It was amazing! “I’ll accompany you.”

Gu Xijiu took a glance at his glass and learned that it good jade was used to make it! Due to the hollowness of the glass, it produced different tones when he knocked it with different forces. It was as good as an instrument!

Celestial Master Zuo undoubtedly had a miraculous life; even this wine glass must cost a lot.

Gu Xijiu then looked at the small wine bottle he took out. Its size was considerably small, but the bottle looked as though it was still full even though Di Fuyi had drunk more than 10 glasses from it. The fragrance of the wine smelled familiar even though it was not same as the alcohol he drank earlier!

Did he change his drink? What was that? The alcohol in the bottle smelled very similar to the one Long Siye brewed.

“It smelled good, I liked it! That’s why I got another one!” Di Fuyi explained.

“I thought there’s only one bottle left?” Gu Xijiu frowned as she asked.

“You’re right; there’s only one bottle which he was willing to share with me. This one is probably from his private collection. It was not easy to find this though! I searched the cellar for quite some time and found it in a hidden corner.”

In fact, the place where Long Siye hid the drink was way more hidden than what Di Fuyi described. It was buried in the ground under the cellar with a series of secret mechanisms to protect it.

Initially, he did not know about the hidden ‘Drunken Universe,’ The secret mechanisms had merely caught his attention. He tried to solve the puzzles and finally found a surprise after breaking the codes. He was really happy about it.

He was mad that he was left to drink alone, however, all his anger was gone when he found the second bottle. After that, he decided to wander around the Tianwen Mountain.

“Can’t believe he even had to lie on this…” Gu Xijiu sighed.

Di Fuyi took a glance at her. A moment later, he smiled, “It’s normal for men to behave like that. It’s not a big deal though. Overlord Long is a gentleman; he hardly hides things.”

“True, true. Long Siye used to be a gentleman and always looked polite and nice in everyone’s eyes.” Gu Xijiu thought in her mind. She was probably the only person who saw his other side and even experienced it!

Gu Xijiu did not want to hear anything else about Long Siye and tried to distract herself. The fragrance of the alcohol triggered her senses, and she retrieved a nice glass from her storage bag, “I also want a drink.”
