The Evil Consort Above An Evil King

Dressed in a dark purple outfit with large sleeves, his movements resembled waves. He had a stalwart figure, a head of black hair that was half-tied, and on his forehead was a colorful gem that looked like a fox’s eye, giving off an ominous light underneath his strands of black hair.

He had a mask that looked like a butterfly, which covered everything above his nose and only revealed his chin and lips, both of which had perfect curvatures. His lips were of a pale red shade, like a flower petal under the fine showers in the wee hours. His lips curved upwards slightly, making him look as if he was smiling even if he was not.

From above him, green droplets would occasionally drop. But they were harmless, so Gu Xijiu did not bother to do anything about it. Yet, the young man was obviously affected by it. He held up an umbrella with lotus drawn in ink on it. The lotus was also pale red, like the cheeks of a young lady. As the green droplets fell, they smeared on the umbrella. It seemed like a lotus flower with its leaves as the backdrop, a well laid out contrast.

The appearance of the young man was like a streak of light in a dark backdrop, one that carried an aura of an electrifying element of youth. The young man had half of his face covered, yet his elegance was still perceivable, easily making him the center of attention.

When Gu Xijiu was trying to figure out the young man’s identity, she felt an unknown thump in her heart! It was as if a string buried deep within her heart had been gently plucked! Sending off ripples throughout her body.

Who was that young man? Where was he from? The young man appeared to emerge out of nowhere from behind the people. Even Gu Xijiu did not see the direction from which he came.

The Firmament Stone, who had been lying on Gu Xijiu’s wrist all the while, was also stunned for a few seconds! It suddenly felt an urge to take the mask of the man’s face! Di Fuyi! That man did looks like Di Fuyi! Could that be him?

But Di Fuyi had already immortalized and entirely disappeared. How could he then appear there? Or was it that the two merely shared resemblances? Naturally, the Firmament Stone had numerous questions going through its mind.

The young man in purple heaved a sigh, and that managed to gain the attention of the group of half-men. The people turned towards the origin of the sound and crowded around it. They greeted him, “Prince Fuyi!”

That Prince Fuyi gave off a laugh. “Everyone, could I ask for a favor?”

Those half-men were obviously obliging to him. “Please give us your orders, Prince Fuyi!”

“Come with me.” Prince Fuyi tapped on the wall, and a door emerged. He went in, followed by the half-men.

The door closed, and no one was left.

Gu Xijiu heaved a sigh of relief. That young man in purple seemed to be in affiliation with the master there. Was that a good or bad thing? However, she did not have time to think about that now; hence, she immediately brought the rest to escape through the exit.

…

In a vast open forest was a terrifyingly huge tree that grew from beneath the cliff. The huge tree was approximately a few hundred meters tall. Had it grown on the plains, it would be much taller than the other trees, being outstanding among the rest. However, it grew down in the abyss. When looked from above the forest, it could hardly be spotted and would blend in with the other trees. And they got out from a tree tunnel of the huge tree… No one ever thought that those children would be located there, which was why they could never be found…
