Venerated Venomous Consort
chapter-2009

Gu Xijiu pushed his face back and said, "Hmm, your face is indeed a work of art. I feel like I have lost myself in your overwhelming beauty. However, you are young; it is not an appropriate time to flirt. Early maturity does no good to you."

Di Fuyi was utterly surprised. He was distracted by Gu Xijiu's appearance, mostly because he somehow felt that her face seemed familiar. He noticed that his heartbeat was irregular every time he looked at her; it was as though he had admired her beauty many years ago. The greater surprise was that he could feel an involuntary erection while getting caught in her beauty.

Having dedicated his entire life to growth and practice, Di Fuyi had never felt the urge in this sort of sexual need. He almost forgot that he actually needed it. He did not expect that such a mysterious woman would give him this sort of reaction.

He had traveled the world and encountered female celestial beings who would try to seduce him. Some were brave and open. They had even stripped themselves naked to show off their bare bodies in front of him. However, it gave him no response. Instead, he was disgusted. Before the women could get closer, he had already pushed them far away. These sexy women could not even get him interested.

Although Gu Xijiu was naked, most of her body was submerged in the water. Furthermore, there was a layer of floating herbs on the surface, so he could not see the rest of her body. She cared about her decency, so she only revealed her shoulders and a small part of her chest above the water. Logically, this restricted view should not be able to excite him. However, it had already happened twice!

When their eyes met, he had to bring up a conversation to cover his awkwardness. Fortunately, her response did not make him feel so awkward anymore. 'Young?' The woman must be thinking that he was still a child.

He smiled at her and put his arm on her shoulder. "Young? Are you sure?"

Baffled, Gu Xijiu was anxious when he made skin contact. She could feel the warmth of his skin. In fact, it was rather hot now. Her eyes darkened when she looked at him. Like an attraction, she felt as though she was pulled closer and closer into his eyes.

The child always liked to act like an adult to prevent others from thinking that he was still young. Smartly, Gu Xijiu chose not to trigger him anymore. She had to prevent him from rebelling. Moreover, their conversation in the wooden tubs was rather strange. Things would easily go astray.

She coughed. "Fuyi, thank you for the tablet. I am feeling much better now. There is no need to perform the Triumphant Recovery Treatment anymore. I would suggest that you leave the room."

She felt that she should get dressed. Obviously, she wanted to change the topic. Di Fuyi thought about it and knew that it was not the right time to argue with her.

He studied her expressions and placed his fingers on her wrist to read her pulse. A few moments later, he had to be honest with her. "The tablet can only stop the condition of your organs from worsening. We still need to use spiritual power to fix your wounds. You should try to utilize your spiritual power."

Gu Xijiu tried to use her spiritual power, only to realize that her veins were still blocked. The pain was overwhelming. "Since you are so experienced in the field of medicine, I think you can conquer the world even without Master Fengxing's help."

"Thank you for the compliment," Di Fuyi answered with a smile. "Are you more comfortable with me now? Shall we begin?"

Gu Xijiu closed her eyes in approval. "Yes, please."

She raised her palms, giving him a sign that she trusted him.

Dumbstruck, Di Fuyi smiled. He raised his palms to make a connection with her. "You have to try to have faith in me. It will be good for your recovery."
