The Evil Consort Above An Evil King

Having resolved the matter with Long Siye, Gu Xijiu suddenly thought about Yun Yanli. He used to be a man of great talent with a bold vision. Unfortunately, it was not his era. Gu Xijiu took another two glasses of wine before announcing her departure.

“Xijiu, I would like to discuss some affairs with you, personally. Please proceed to my study room when the Celestial Flower Party comes to an end.”

Gu Xijiu joked with a tight smile, “Are you trying to set me up?”

The Emperor Immortal could not hold back his amusement. “I dare not.”

They continued to chat casually for a while. Soon, Gu Xijiu realized that the emperor was a quick, definite man who was bold enough to do something and accept the consequence of his actions, which was a trait that they commonly shared.

She used to treat the Emperor Immortal like a stranger. Now, she realized that she could actually keep him as a friend. His undisguised character explained why the Divine Lord would assist him on his quest to the throne back then.

The two had a couple more drinks, and suddenly, the Emperor Immortal looked at her and sighed. “Xijiu, you are so skilled in concealing your emotions and appearance. Actually, you look like someone I know.”

Hesitantly, Gu Xijiu continued, “Hmm, like who?”

“The Great Devil, Ning Xuemo, the mother of Nianmo.”

A sudden realization hit her. Did Nianmo fall for her because of his issues with his mother? Before she could begin to contemplate such a possibility, the ground started to shake violently.

Gu Xijiu was utterly surprised. It was a massive earthquake! Never had she expected that the ninth heaven would ever encounter such a natural disaster. Moreover, it was a rare earthquake with an exceptionally large scale of damage.

From a scale of one to ten, the intensity of the earthquake could easily be at ten! Many buildings were flattened. The rosy clouds were completely disarranged like a complete mess. It felt as though the sky was about to collapse. Many of guests could barely stand steadily.

The earthquake came without warnings, so the people were caught unprepared. Hectically, the servants crawled on the floor, for they could barely hold themselves together. The guests dispersed in a mess, like falling leaves in a strong breeze.

There was something strange about the earthquake; it was as if there was a disruption in the force of gravity. The celestial beings had completely lost their ability to fly; they could only run. As the ground was falling apart, it was more convenient to fly. However, they could only run.

Gu Xijiu joined them soon enough. On her way, she even used her extraordinary Kung Fu to rescue one or two unfortunate servants who had so carelessly fallen into the cracks.

While she was running, a pitch-black vortex suddenly emerged on the ground. It came without warning, right under her feet! Caught in the turbulence with nowhere to run, the sudden emergence of darkness cloaked her vision as she slowly fell into the whirlpool.

The mussel and Lu Wu were running along with her, not too far behind. When they saw the black vortex, it was already too late for them to warn her. In the blink of an eye, their master had disappeared into the whirlpool.

…

“My prince, may I return to my usual form?” Jing Ling Er asked for Di Fuyi’s permission, hesitantly.

Di Fuyi threw her a look before answering, “You look quite adorable like this.”

Jing Ling Er scratched her head in complete disapproval.

Bai Ze was amazed by the transformation as well. “Flying Serpent, you are truly capable of turning yourself into a beautiful woman. Like I said, your human form is very feminine. You should see the look on their faces the moment you landed in the hall.”

“Speak no more of it!” Jing Ling Er responded angrily. Then, she turned to look at Di Fuyi. “My prince, I think the drama has ended.”

Di Fuyi stared blankly at the distant sky and answered, “Yes, it has come to an end. She was not bothered at all.”

Bai Ze and Jing Ling Er looked at each other in disappointment. “My prince, should you go back and check out the scene?” Bai Ze offered.

Di Fuyi let out a sarcastic laugh. “It is unnecessary. I shall carry on, with or without her. In fact, I do not wish to see her anymore. Let’s go.”

Bai Ze and the Flying Serpent looked at each other blankly. In unison, they then agreed to leave.

All of a sudden, they heard loud crashing sounds coming from the distance. They looked back, only to realize that numerous buildings had collapsed. What happened?
