The Evil Consort Above An Evil King

Since he did not heed her call, she would just go right in front of him to size him up! She flew herself over, thinking of reaching the rooftop of the palace. She thought that she would appear right before the person, with an error of fewer than five centimeters.

However, when she touched down, she realized that she was still in her initial position; she had not even moved by an inch. Gu Xijiu was stunned! Even though she was able to see the palace underneath her as she flew by, when she touched down, she was ultimately back to her initial spot.

Was she trapped? Or was this worse? She tried to escape but could not. She tilted her head upwards to look at the person on the rooftop. He was in fact so close, yet so far away.

Gu Xijiu finally gave up and just stared at the man. Her staring helped her to spot something! She realized that the orbit of the chess pieces on the chessboard was similar to that of the stars in the sky!

As the person moved the chess pieces about, the stars in the sky were also moved about by an intangible force. Was this man the person who was controlling the night sky?!

Gu Xijiu held her breath. She, being on earth, was only able to stargaze and tell fortune; she was unable to change the orbit of the stars whatsoever. However, the person had the entire night sky in his hands, and he could shift them about just like chess pieces on a chessboard! Who was this person?! How could he have such an ability?

She tried as hard as she could to identify the person but all she could spot was half of the side of his face, and it seemed to be veiled by layers of fog.

Her gaze then fell on the ring between his fingers. She initially thought it was a diamond. How sparkling and big! However, upon closer observation, she realized that the shape of the ring was rather familiar.

That person seemed very indolent as he lied down, but his movements were graceful. Looking at him was rather pleasing to the eye.

Not knowing how long it had been, that person finally sat up. He flicked his fingers, and light streaked across the sky. Suddenly, a stone fell from above. Gu Xijiu was shocked and thought it would hit the man on the head! However, right before the stone was about to fall on the rooftop, it turned into the shape of a person. Out came a man in black, kneeling before the man in purple. He said, “Lord, any orders?”

The man in black got up rather wistfully. “I have adjusted this star. From now on, you should be guarding it.”

The man in black was astounded. “That quick?!”

The man in purpled idly looked at him. “When have I been slow?”

The man in black looked downwards. “Lord, you usually take a few hundred years to adjust the stars, but this time you took less than a year to do so…”

The man in purple threw him a glance. “Not happy that I am fast now?”

“I do not dare to be unhappy with you!” The man in black was all fours.

The man in purple nodded slightly. “Get up.”

As the man in black just got on his feet, he immediately bowed at the man in purple while saying, “Since Lord has worked for so long, would you like to go and have a rest?”

“I actually wanted to go down. This time I think it will take a longer time. The six of you could take turns to look after the system.” The sleeves of the man in purple were floating in the wind.

The man in black was stunned. “What? Lord, are you saying that… you would like to go to the earth?”
