Venerated Venomous Consort
chapter-2005

"The steps are correct, but it is not easy to handle the different strengths of your spiritual power. Things can go wrong very easily."

Di Fuyi interrupted, "If you have taught me right, I will make sure nothing goes wrong."

Long Siye was still worried, so he requested for another demonstration. Di Fuyi had to tell him when and how to use he would use his spiritual power. Di Fuyi gave him a frustrated look. Then, he agreed quietly and started to perform another demonstration.

As a result, his second demonstration went even smoother than his first attempt; the use of spells was better. Moreover, the handling of his spiritual power with different strengths at different times was quite brilliant.

Under the circumstances, Long Siye could not argue with him anymore. In a whirl, Gu Xijiu felt quite disoriented. She tried her very best to stay awake. When Di Fuyi came, she did not notice his presence due to the constant drumming in her ears. Moreover, she kept suffering from blackouts, so she had to utilize all her strength just to stay awake.

Earlier, the female servant only acted according to Long Siye's orders to underdress Gu Xijiu quickly. What happened outside of the room was not her concern. However, the servant had certainly heard Di Fuyi, but she thought that the unexpected guest would not intrude, so she continued to undress Gu Xijiu, piece by piece. All was good until Di Fuyi pushed the door open.

The servant was utterly surprised; she was trained not to scream out of fear. However, overwhelmed by the shocking moment, she forgot to put some covers on Gu Xijiu. She stood frozen until the moment Di Fuyi shut the door again. Only then did she realize the awkwardness of the situation and quickly covered up Gu Xijiu's naked body.

The surprise entry brought some senses back to Gu Xijiu's whirling mind. When she saw Di Fuyi at the door, she felt deeply offended. Her blood was boiling, changing her pale complexion to a bit pinkish.

She could not help but curse in her head. She heard about the conversation between Di Fuyi and Long Siye, and she did not know whether to cry or to laugh at the dumbfounding matter.

She could not reach the child when she needed him most. For a few times, he refused even to pick up his directed audio spell, causing her the trouble at the Feng Yun Valley. Finally, the child approached her first this time.

When Di Fuyi offered to carry out the treatment, Gu Xijiu disagreed to the idea, but she could hardly voice her opinion. She tried very hard, but only managed to groan very weakly. They could not hear her, for sure.

She listened as the conversation came to an end. Then, she heard Di Fuyi telling Long Siye to go away. "You should leave," he said.

Obviously, the prince was about to undress himself. He did not want Long Siye's company. Without a choice, Long Siye had to leave. He told the servant in the room to help Gu Xijiu get ready before he left. "Your Highness, whenever you are ready, I shall move the wooden tub into the room for you."

"There is no need for that. I have my own ways. You only have to guard the door," Di Fuyi answered coldly. Long Siye left abruptly.

A few moments later, Gu Xijiu heard Di Fuyi asking, "Is everything ready?"

The servant was busy carrying Gu Xijiu. She tried to place Gu Xijiu securely in the wooden bath. "Done… I am done," she answered.

The door was once again open. In a blur, Gu Xijiu could see beyond the steam that a wooden tub was moving into the room, as though it had wings. Swiftly, it placed itself next to her tub. The tubs sat adjacent to one another. Soaked in the water, they sat facing each other, too.

Their eyes met, and Gu Xijiu could feel her heart throbbing. Her heartbeat slowly increased. It was the first time for her to see Shen Nianmo half-naked in his adult body.
