The Evil Consort Above An Evil King

Gu Xijiu’s appearance could always attract attention no matter where she went, so she often wore a mask when she went out and only removed it when she was eating. Therefore, Yun Yanli was the only one fortunate enough to be able to see her original appearance often.

Of course, Yun Yanli was also very handsome. When he was outside with his original appearance, he often attracted attention from the women. Sometimes they even sent him flowers and fruits to show their admiration. Like Gu Xijiu, Yun Yanli also decided to don a mask whenever he was outside.

The mask he chose was quite similar to Gu Xijiu’s mask, which made them look like a couple. However, that was the closest he could get. Although he often stayed with her, he never entered her heart. She only treated him as a friend.

She seemed to have an instinctive rejection of men, and not let anyone get too close. She did make friends with some women who she got close to but always kept a fair distance from any men.

Even when she covered her face, Gu Xijiu’s body figure was very noticeable. As she was so capable, she had a lot of admirers around her that made her feel frustrated. After some time, she did not even want to wear women’s clothing but changed to large male robes. After she did so, her life was back to peace and tranquility.

“Xijiu, what are your plans for the future?” This was already the last city inhabited by humans. If she continued to search, she could only go into the Devil Kingdom of the Shura World. However, the Devil Kingdom was not suitable for her. It could be said that it was not ideal for any immortal.

Gu Xijiu turned the glass in her hand for a moment and shook her head. “I have no plans yet. Perhaps, I will head back to Luo Hua City for a while.”

What if he had returned to the inn in Luo Hua City? After all, his bedding was left there; no one had moved it away. Over the past year, Gu Xijiu went back to Luo Hua City once every two or three months. Her main reasons were to visit the villagers and also to head back to the inn. She would always take the same room that she used to sleep in.

Initially, she was always hopeful. But after a few disappointments, she started to become numb. Did he really go back to heaven? Or he was still hiding? Or had he been killed? If he returned to the Upper Bound, it showed that he could cut off the relationship so easily and was probably not in love with her.

If he were in hiding, who or what was he hiding from? Was he hiding from her? She was not a beast, and he was not the type of person to hide from someone. Had he been killed? It was impossible! Her instinct told her that he was still alive! And her sixth sense had always been extremely accurate.

Therefore, based on her reasoning, it was more likely that he had gone back to the Upper Bound. Gu Xijiu actually wanted to go to heaven, but she could not find a way to get there. She did not know the path to go back to heaven.

She had asked Yun Yanli before; Yun Yanli told her that if she wanted to go to the Upper Bound, she could do so by ascending. When her spiritual power reaches level ten, she could ascend after experiencing a calamity. He told her that he did not know any other way than this.

This method was quite tricky and was out of reach for her in the short term. Gu Xijiu knew that it was difficult for her to achieve that level of spiritual power at the moment, so she temporarily gave up on going back to heaven. However, that made her wonder how Di Fuyi had gone back to Upper Bound. If there was only one way, then wouldn’t he also need to ascend?

When Di Fuyi came to this world, he exhausted a significant amount of spiritual power to do so, but he recovered quite quickly. When she saw him, his spiritual power was around level six, but after he absorbed a grade-one spiritual crystal, his spiritual power rose directly to level nine. Hence, it should not be difficult for him to reach level ten.

As for Gu Xijiu, although she had absorbed quite a number of spiritual crystals, her spiritual power growth was slow. She did not quite understand that.
