Venerated Venomous Consort
chapter-2022

It was difficult to find the herbs which were used to make the potent medicine; hence, he could not identify what ingredients were added due to his inexperience. Strangely, he trusted that the pill would be effective as he felt a sense of familiarity as he sniffed it.

He realized that his spiritual power had been enhanced drastically after he consumed the pill. To his surprise, the energy of the pill perfectly matched his original energy as if it was meant for him. This made him think that the pill was specially customized for him by Gu Xijiu. Perhaps, she really made the pill just for him? After all, her mission was to assist him in upgrading his spiritual power.

The medicine must be precious, one worth a thousand favors, and yet she gave him an entire bottle! "Do you have many bottles of this?" Di Fuyi asked as he shook the little bottle.

Certainly not, that was the only bottle she had. She consumed a few throughout the years and also gave a few to her close friends and those in need; that was all she had now. However, he would not take it if she told him that it was the only bottle she had. Therefore, Gu Xijiu smiled and answered, "Do not worry; you need it more than me."

Di Fuyi weighed the bottle in his palm and chuckled. "I guess you need it to complete your mission more efficiently? If that is the case, I do not want it!" He tossed it back to her.

Gu Xijiu was speechless. He was such a problematic kid! She gave it to him for the sake of her mission and also to enhance his power; it benefited both parties, but he did not understand it.

Swiftly, Long Siye nicely grilled a few fishes. He then passed it to Gu Xijiu. "Xijiu, I'm sure you're starving; take this first."

Surprisingly, a hand stretched over and took the fish before Gu Xijiu reached it. "Let me try."

Gu Xijiu did not speak a word as she thought that he deserved it since he contributed quite a lot earlier.

Di Fuyi commented after taking a bite, "It is slightly salty but overall still acceptable; there is room for improvement, General Long."

Long Siye was annoyed! Casually, he replied, "It sounds like Your Highness is an expert in this area! Why don't you grill a fish so that I can try?"

Di Fuyi did not respond to Long Siye's challenge but gave the fish to Bai Ze. "Nah, see if you like it."

Bai Ze took the fish over and tried it. It was not a picky eater; hence, it was very pleased with the taste. "I think it is quite good."

Di Fuyi smiled. "Alright, I think General Long should responsible to grill fish for Bai Ze; not too many though, I think 20-30 would be just nice."

Bai Ze gratefully looked at Long Siye. "Thank you so much, General Long."

Long Siye immediately clenched his fists! His Highness was trying to provoke him! However, the situation left him without a choice.

Di Fuyi shifted his gaze to Long Siye as he did not respond. "General Long, are you reluctant to comply?"

Long Siye heaved a sigh. "It is my honor to grill fish for General Bai, but Xijiu needs to eat more nutritious food as well; let me make two for her first…"

"Do not worry, she should not eat heavy meals and grilled fish is not suitable for her; I think it is better to boil fish soup for her." Di Fuyi then looked at Bai Ze. "Bai Ze, could you make some fish soup?"

Bai Ze was good at culinary arts; even the Divine Lord complimented his skills. Hence, stewed fish was certainly not a big deal for him. However... He quickly sent a directed audio to Di Fuyi. "Your Highness, you should make the soup yourself if you would like to please her; I can secretly guide you…"
