Venerated Venomous Consort
chapter-73

This person was his only hope.

"Crown Prince, he has not been arrested by the Fourth Prince. Our spies are monitoring him secretly and they will definitely save him if he gets caught…"

Rong Jialuo nodded slightly. He felt slightly relieved as he did not hear any bad news from his secret agents.

Although it was easy to say, he was still worried as it was very important to him. As time passed, he could not sit still anymore. He threw away the bracelet in his hand and got up from the chair.

He leaned against the window and looked at the big moon in the sky. He sighed and asked, "It's almost 11PM. Black Fox, do you think he will come?"

Suddenly, they heard noises behind them. Black Fox spoke softly, "Crown Prince! He… He’s here!" His tone sounded like he was surprised but excited!

Rong Jialuo was shocked and immediately turned around.

Someone was standing behind him with a black suit which blended in with the dark sky. The person looked super ordinary and short. It was indeed the person who left a paper bird for him in the auction room.

The person looked at him firmly and asked, "Your Highness, do you have the thing I want?"

"Ye...Yes. It’s there." He said as he pointed towards the table. Rong Jialuo was frightened because the way the person appeared was too mystical.

The person was Gu Xijiu in disguise. She still looked like how she looked when she was in the auction room and hence, Rong Jialuo could recognize her.

Gu Xijiu looked at the bracelet and confirmed it was the bracelet made of Firmament Stone. However, its color was slightly duller and it was not shiny anymore which made it look like a normal bracelet.

"Is this a fake one?"

Gu Xijiu glanced at Rong Jialuo and he quickly said, "This object is so strange! It was still shiny when I got it and it became like this the next morning."

Gu Xijiu looked at the bracelet again; it was indeed the one she wanted.

But, something was wrong with it now. Perhaps, the bracelet needed a recharge.

She knocked at the center point where the shell was glowing in blue."Yo! Are you still alive?"

The bracelet was still dull and did not even shine for a second.

Gu Xijiu threw the bracelet on the table. "Since you’re not working anymore, it’s useless for me to keep you…"

The bracelet suddenly shone before she finished her words. A mad voice crept into Gu Xijiu’s mind, "Lady, don’t you dare abandon me again!"

"Oh! You’re still alive! I thought you’ve returned to the heavens", Gu Xijiu talked to it in her mind.

"I just didn’t want to bother you. I let you have me last night but you just left me behind!"

"I thought you’re very powerful. Why didn’t you follow me?"

"My physical body was still there... and it is not my style to just simply follow you!"

She realized the bracelet had an arrogant attitude!

Gu Xijiu continued, "Are you going to stay alone forever with your arrogance if I didn’t bid you?"

The Firmament Stone bracelet remained silent.
