Venerated Venomous Consort
chapter-2270

Gu Xijiu had many questions, but the Firmament Stone was allowed to answer any of them.

“Say something!” Gu Xijiu demanded very desperately. She hated it when it blabbered on over the trivial, but remained quiet when she needed an answer.

“Master, I cannot tell you about the heavenly secrets!” It had to say something before Gu Xijiu disposed of it like trash.

Gu Xijiu was speechless. It was the heavenly law again. She hated the heavenly laws! As a Lord, she knew that there would be consequences to those who chose to reveal any heavenly secrets. The fate of many would change, like a chain reaction. As a punishment, the change of fate would mostly end up negatively affecting people.

She looked at the pitch-black Firmament Stone, which was now playing dead, and sighed. She sat with her legs crossed while looking up to the sky, especially at the moon. Her dress danced in the wind while her pretty face felt cold in the night breeze. Suddenly, she took out another bottle of wine and started drinking.

She looked very sad; she felt somewhat guilty as she murmured, “I think I have failed, as a person in general. Huang Tu has been so good to me. Everything he did for me, he did it wholeheartedly. I am sure that I used to like him a lot, too. As soon as he was immortalized, I forgot everything about him. There seems to be no way to recall anything about him. Now, there is obviously hope for his resurrection, and yet I chose to fall in love with somebody else. I have always hated those who commit to more than one relationship at the same time, and yet I have now become the kind of person that I hate the most.”

The Firmament Stone panicked for a little after the extensive silence, but it continued to play dead. Meanwhile, Gu Xijiu took one sip after another. The Firmament Stone thought that she should really stop drinking. She had already had a bottle of wine. She would definitely get drunk after another bottle.

The Firmament Stone was still trying to think of what it could say or do. Suddenly, it could feel some water dripping on it. The droplets tasted bitter. Shocked, the Firmament Stone looked up, only to realize the tears rolling down her eyes.

She was looking at the night sky and crying. The Firmament Stone felt bad for her but did not know any words of comfort.

“Little Cang, I really look down on myself. If Huang Tu knew about this, he would surely be very sad. He would probably hate me or even look down on me.”

The more she elaborated, the more tears rolled down her cheek. The Firmament Stone could not hold itself back anymore. “No, master. He would not hate you or look down on you.”

“But I have fallen for somebody else. He would surely think that I am heartless because of the betrayal.”

“No, you did not betray him.”

“Hmm?” Bewildered, Gu Xijiu looked at it and asked, “What do you mean?”

Once again, the Firmament Stone let another secret slip out of its mouth.

It tried hard to cover up its mistake. “When he was alive, you never betrayed his love. His immortalization means that his existence is no more. There is nothing wrong if you have fallen for Di Fuyi. It does not count as a betrayal.”

“Is that so?” Gu Xijiu’s eyes darkened. Suddenly, she added, “What you really meant is that Di Fuyi is actually his reincarnation, so they are basically the same man, which makes the betrayal invalid, am I right?”

Anxiously, the Firmament Stone trembled. She was too good at making guesses. Hesitantly, the Firmament Stone gave her another clever excuse, “Master, I have never said so. It is all your own thinking. As for your relationship, I suggest that you should take it easy and go with the flow. It is always good to trust your intuition.”

Gu Xijiu closed her eyes to think about what it said. Suddenly, she stood up and shattered the bottle on the ground. The Firmament Stone was shocked by her sudden display of energy.
