The Evil Consort Above An Evil King

“Little Cang, you are right. It is always right to follow my intuition. Let’s go!”

“Go? Where are we going?” The Firmament Stone was confused.

“To the Shura Devil Kingdom. We are going to look for Di Fuyi! That little bastard.”

She whistled to summon the Clouded Leopard King, and it rushed to approach her. Gu Xijiu leaped onto the leopard and rode quickly towards the direction of the Shura Devil Kingdom. The Firmament Stone noticed her bright eyes, which were shining with hope. Her face was also crimson red, probably due to the alcohol. Seeing how energetic she was right now, it was hard to imagine her crying just a few moments ago. The tears in her eyes were nowhere to be seen.

It suddenly understood. She was only acting to get its sympathy, so it would tell her more about what she wanted to know. Once again, it had fallen for her trick. It did not like her tricks, obviously.

…

Gu Xijiu had always thought that the Firmament Stone was not entirely trustworthy. Her doubt was proven to be true the moment they arrived at the Devil Kingdom. After a rough journey to the entrance of the Devil Kingdom, she quickly changed into the clothing made with Kun Peng skin. However, she was almost burned alive!

The moment she stepped into the Devil Kingdom, the fires of hell started to burn vigorously. The Kun Peng skin clothing that she was wearing did not burn right away, but it was heated up almost instantaneously. Gu Xijiu felt as if she was putting herself in a steamer while wearing it, a steamer of nearly 100 degrees Celsius. As soon as she realized that something was not right, she quickly used her teleportation skill and retreated to safety.

Even though she acted swiftly, some parts of her skin were unfortunately burned. There were already some noticeable blisters. Her burned skin was attached to the inner layer of the Kun Peng clothing. The moment she took off the clothing, it almost peeled her skin off.

“Little Cang, you are so mean to me. I almost died because of you!” Gu Xijiu said grinningly. She then hid into a bush and started to treat her burned wound.

Disappointed with itself, the Firmament Stone did not fight back. For a normal burn, Gu Xijiu could just apply some medicine to the wound, and it would heal within an hour. However, the burns that she got from the fires of hell this time were severe. After four hours of intense pain, the wound did not seem to heal one bit. What is worse, the wound was beginning to become festering.

Gu Xijiu thought that she was a good doctor, but even she could not heal the wound. The fires of hell in the Devil Kingdom were obviously different. There was no scale even to place it on. Could Di Fuyi really live under such monstrous fires? She shook her head to dismiss the question that she had no answer for. She needed to focus on her wound first.

While she was trying to look for another medicine in her storage bag, some moving from a distant bush caught her attention. Could it be some wild animal? Gu Xijiu looked up and saw a little wolf emerging.

The wolf was covered entirely in snow-white fur, but the look in its eyes was filled with immense indignation. Its stomach was injured, and the blood from its wound had greatly stained its fur. It looked at Gu Xijiu fixedly, obviously scared, but desperate for her help at the same time.

The wolf looked beautiful. It was a very rarely seen Silver Wolf. The wolf reminded Gu Xijiu of her favorite dog from the modern days. She waved at the Silver Wolf and asked it to come forward. “Come over here. Let me have a look at your wound.”

Surprisingly, the wolf understood her call. It raced quickly towards Gu Xijiu and lay down with all of its legs facing upward to reveal the wound on its stomach.

The Silver Wolf was not only beautiful but very clever as well. Astonished, Gu Xijiu examined the wound on its stomach. It was only a cut, which was not difficult to be treated.

Gu Xijiu applied the best medicine on the wound to speed up the healing process. Then, she finished treating the wound with an appropriate dressing.

She then patted the wolf and said, “I did not expect you to understand human language, which is a gift. Go! Don’t let the hunters see you again.”
