Venerated Venomous Consort
chapter-2878

Gu Xijiu was disguised in an ordinary woman’s outfit, so when she stood beside Di Fuyi, it made her look somewhat dull.

Over the past few years, Di Fuyi had slowly become the dream lover of countless girls in the six realms. However, he had always been self-disciplined. Apart from the ruler of the Monster Kingdom whom he had once assisted, he had never been seen with other women.

So now that Gu Xijiu was standing beside him so openly with Di Fuyi holding her hand, this naturally stirred the curiosity of the people while simultaneously crushing the glass hearts of the numerous girls present. All of a sudden, there was loud buzzing going around with people trying to guess the identity of the woman next to Di Fuyi.

Some guessed that she was an immortal from the Celestial Kingdom, while others speculated that she was the enchantress of the Devil Kingdom. There were even those who thought that she was his younger sister. Needless to say, a myriad of theories went flying around the place.

Despite there being conflicting views on who the woman could be, there was one thing that everyone could agree on – the two of them looked like they were from socially different worlds! No one could understand why Di Fuyi would fall for such an ordinary woman. Was it true that only an ugly man could get a pretty wife?

“Do you want to restore your authentic appearance?” Di Fuyi asked her.

Gu Xijiu did not care. “No, I don’t care about how I look in the public eye.”

Then, Gu Xijiu pulled a chessboard out of nowhere and said, “The journey is so boring; do you want to play a game?”

The little fairy on the boat also secretly looked down on the ordinary-looking Gu Xijiu. However, since the crew was well-educated, they did not reveal their true feelings on their face. They merely despised her inside their heart.

When they saw her wanting to play a game of chess with their master, they involuntarily sneered in their heart. Their master was a champion in chess; to their knowledge, he had never lost a game. In fact, he single-handedly defeated many chess masters on his own. Therefore, it was beyond their expectations that this woman would actually challenge their master to a game! Humiliation was perhaps the only thing that awaited her at the end.

When they looked at the crisscrossing lines on the board clearly, they looked at each other and wondered, “What is that? Was there such a chessboard?”

Di Fuyi’s eyes also fell on the chessboard, and his heart was fretting. The chessboard was not an ordinary chessboard. In fact, the lines were like spiderwebs, which made people feel a little dizzy when looking at the board.

The man took a look at the two groups of chess pieces – there were black pieces that shone like a meteorite, as well as white ones that were like clumps of snow. Both sets of chess pieces were dazzling like the stars.

“This chessboard is quite special. Let’s play a few rounds! However, please note that this is my first time playing this type of chess. You have to tell me the rules.” Di Fuyi was quite interested in it.

“Sure…” Gu Xijiu began to explain to him the critical details of the game and what he needed to note.

Upon hearing the details, it was easy to conclude that this kind of chess was very complicated and cumbersome. The little fairies who were waiting to serve their master were confused when they listened to the explanation.

Meanwhile, Di Fuyi remembered the critical elements after listening to it once and grabbed hold of the white chess pieces once Gu Xijiu was done. “Let’s get started.”

Gu Xijiy smiled and held the black chess pieces. “Come on!”

…

The boat was driving speedily in the dark sky.

They were now marching into the Devil Kingdom, and a light-grey magical spirit floated around the ship as if trying to catch the people on board. However, before they could come near, they seemed to meet some kind of resistance and scattered away.

The little fairies thought that they would inevitably encounter some magical spirits when they entered the devil world, so they had brought herbs to protect themselves. Nevertheless, they did not expect the spirits to flee so easily.

Obviously, this ship was set up with a wizardry barrier that dispelled any spirits. However, in the past, they also followed Di Fuyi into the Devil Kingdom, and there was no such wizardry barrier protecting the ship at that time.

Without the need to ask, the crew could tell at once that the ordinary-looking woman set the invisible wizardry barrier on the boat. Thus, their eyes quietly aimed in her direction again.
