Venerated Venomous Consort
chapter-1717

"When the new King Star rises, the old one will fall. I already knew it since 20 years ago. I knew that I am going to fall after a hundred years while the new King Star will be born. Thus, I had to train the new King Star and then immortalize her after passing all the responsibilities to her..."

"I have been living for more than ten thousand years; hence, I have already gotten used to matters about life and death. Thus, immortalization is nothing to me because I don't really care much about it. However, the only regret I have is never falling in love with someone even though I have witnessed so many legendary love stories. In fact, I'm eager to know how it feels like to truly fall in love with someone and experience the feeling of being lost in someone's embrace."

Di Fuyi continued, "Although there are so many girls out there, there is no girl that ever walked into my heart. I did not make any compromises either. The only thing I could do was to wait for the new King Star to be born. The moment when Gu Xijiu from General Gu's family had been born, something strange happened in the sky; there were some glows of seven-color rays out there. At that time, I was wondering if she was the new King Star, so I went there to check it out. I realized that she had a normal physique and a normal look. Furthermore, the seven-colored ray disappeared. I checked on her a few more times and it still turned out to be the same. So, I concluded that she is just a normal baby. I foresaw that this girl will face a huge life or death situation when she turns 12 years old, and there was a low possibility that this girl can pass through this trouble…"

Di Fuyi covered Gu Xijiu with an extra piece of clothing while he was talking. "At that time, even though I thought that she was not going to be the new King Star, I did not lose hope on her yet. That time, her mother wished to keep her safe, so she begged me to get engaged with her daughter. At that time, I did not care about marriage, and I did not think that she could survive through the fatal situation awaiting her when she turned 12. So I accepted the request of her mother, to get engaged with her even though she was just a baby. I had put a seal on her and changed her facial appearance by growing spots on her forehead. The terms and conditions of the marriage were very harsh as I did not think that she could make it… But somehow, she was possessed by you after she died."

"Maybe this is what we call destiny; God made you appear in this form. Do you still remember the first day we met? I turned myself into a jade statue to practice asceticism and that time you came in and took off my clothes, and you even touched me…"

"At that time, I was very angry and amused because it was the first time that I have been molested by someone. So I have decided to find you and take revenge."

"Xijiu, you were as sneaky as a catfish; you always had ways to escape from me. You also successfully drew my curiosity… that was the first time I got so curious about someone. So, at that time, I could not let you go; I even cast a spell on you just to look at how you escape from me. Your moves always impressed me. Perhaps that was when I fell for you? After that, you called yourself a heaven's gift disciple. I had to test you as it was my job. Actually, before I tested you, I already knew that you were not a heaven's gift disciple... But I had to run the test as it was my job. I fell in love with you at that time, and could not risk your safety. So, I decided to go easy with you on the stage. The result was that you are really not a heaven's gift disciple but a disciple of The Lord…"

Di Fuyi looked at the stars again as his mind was traveling back in time. "Xijiu, I was already falling in love with you at that time, and I was thinking to marry you after you get out from the Dark Forest. I wanted to run away with you and was counting how many years we had left. I could still live for nearly a hundred years and predicted that you could live until around 80 years old.
