Venerated Venomous Consort
chapter-2507

Furthermore, the surging force generated by the spiritual power inside the statue made it difficult for anyone to even touch it. Gu Xijiu found herself being repelled from the statue due to its power. It was as if she were electrocuted every time she touched it.

Nonetheless, she did not give up! Regardless of the pain, she touched his hand again to try to absorb some of the power. The result was the same except that Gu Xijiu’s entire arm was in pain.

The Firmament quick shouted, “Master, no! You can’t! Your spiritual power is too low now. You will be hurt!” Her trusted comrade estimated the strength of the force that the statue was emitting every time Gu Xijiu touched it and realized that it was equivalent to the attack of a Golden Immortal! Gu Xijiu would be seriously injured if she continued. Her eyes were almost red by that point. But if he really disappeared, what was the point of living?!

At that point, the jade statue seemed to be tremoring at a higher frequency. Parts of the statue seemed to be falling off.

“He… Is he… Is he…?” Gu Xijiu reached out her hands to catch any falling pieces. Even though some of them were as tiny as rice grains, Gu Xijiu’s eyes were sharp enough to see that these were the jade fragments of his body. Was he going to disappear forever? It was easy to tell how nervous and devastated Gu Xijiu was just by the sound of her voice!

The Firmament Stone was also panicked. It had a bad feeling about the situation but did not dare to say anything.

“Fuyi, it is me! Don’t resist! It is me.” Gu Xijiu could not help but rush forward and hug the statue tightly with both of her arms. “Di Fuyi! If you dare to disappear again, I will… I will…”

What could she do? She could not think of anything that could use to threaten him at that moment. The fear was overwhelming! She did not want to be alone in this world anymore. She ignored the repelling force generated by the statue and smothered it with tears. The tears dripped down and fell on the neck of the jade statue.

The jade statue was originally shaking, but after Gu Xijiu hugged it, it seemed to have stopped. Even the repelling force seemed to have halted. Was the person in the jade statue finally controlling it?

Although the effect seemed to have stopped, Gu Xijiu’s internal organs were dealt a severe blow from her earlier attempts. Nonetheless, she did not want to let go. She buried her face on its shoulder and said, “I am waiting for you to come back! I am waiting for you to come back! You can’t leave me again.”

The Firmament Stone also flew over and attached itself to Gu Xijiu’s wrist. It tried to communicate with her, “Master, he will not die so easily. Please don’t worry too much.” This sentence did not have the comforting effect that was intended as Gu Xijiu thought it was only saying those words to try to comfort her. Hence, she ignored it.

Since the jade statue no longer trembled, Gu Xijiu immediately pressed on both of her palms on it to try to absorb any excess spiritual power from it. Strangely, she managed to absorb some of the power. The surging spiritual power in the jade statue started to flow into Gu Xijiu’s body.

The Firmament Stone was worried. “Master, slow down…” It did not draw any spiritual power from Di Fuyi this time but just remained an onlooker. Absorbing spiritual power from Di Fuyi was an excruciating exercise, but she still insisted on continuing.
