Venerated Venomous Consort
chapter-233

Long Siye said, "I'll bring it over."

After walking two steps forward, he stopped and turned around to look at Gu Xijiu. He was worried about her. Amused, Gu Xijiu said, "Don’t worry about me. I'll go with you."

Just as she was about to stand up, a hand gripped her wrist. Di Fuyi smiled and said, "It does not require two persons to go and take a bottle of liquor."

Gu Xijiu sneered. This must be jealousy. Di Fuyi gripped her wrist very tightly this time so Gu Xijiu knew that she could not get rid of him. She waved her hand and said, "Overlord Long, please get it by yourself. Celestial Master Zuo must be worried that we would escape together…"

Long Siye held his breath then he looked at Di Fuyi, "Since she has agreed to do the test, you should not be giving her unnecessary trouble, right?"

Di Fuyi’s replied hesitantly, "I do not plan to do anything to her yet, but if you keep talking so much I will change my mind."

Long Siye did not speak anymore and quickly turned and left the room. Gu Xijiu looked at Long Siye’s back and had a complicated feeling that she could not express. Abruptly, the grip on her wrist became so firm that it started to hurt. Gu Xijiu struggled and shouted, "You are hurting me!"

Di Fuyi loosened his palm but did not let go, "Baby, it is not good to look at another guy in front of your fiancé."

Gu Xijiu challenged him, "Do you think I am a lunatic? I know the marriage you proposed is fake."

"Why do you think so?"

Gu Xijiu stared at the black ring on his finger which was glowing and said, "Is this not an engagement ring!? It seems to be made with black hair!"

Di Fuyi glanced at the ring on his finger then looked at her and smiled, "Baby, you are very knowledgeable. However, have you ever seen an enchanted ring made of black jade? If it was an engagement ring like you said, it is supposed to be made of black hair, right?"

"Who knows!? This could be one of your tricks." Gu Xijiu said coldly.

Di Fuyi sighed, "It seems like you will acknowledge our marriage until I find your ring."

Gu Xijiu poured herself a cup of tea while saying, "It is not the truth, what do you want me to say?"

"Are you hesitant because of Long Siye?"Di Fuyi asked.

Gu Xijiu smiled and said nothing.

Her silence was treated as an acknowledgment. Di Fuyi frowned and said, "It’s impossible for you to be with him!"

If it were not possible for Gu Xijiu to be with Long Siye, was it possible for Di Fuyi to be with him?!

Gu Xijiu calmly spun the glass with her finger and asked, "Uh, is it?"

Then, she smiled and said, "In fact, even if the marriage you proposed was true, we are unlikely to get married. If I possess a heavenly gift, I will not step into the Dark Forest in the next two years' time. And if I don't, I will probably lose my life inside the Dark Forest as it is almost impossible for me to escape. Thus, the marriage will not be feasible, and we do not need to waste time thinking about it."

Di Fuyi looked at her with shimmering eyes, "Are you against my proposal?"

Gu Xijiu did not deny, "Yes!"

Di Fuyi remained silent.

Then he smiled, "Do you know that there are so many women in this continent who would be honored to marry me but will never get the opportunity?"

Gu Xijiu chuckled sarcastically and said, "I commend you for your good market. You can take your pick of the lot then."
