The Evil Consort Above An Evil King

Nonetheless, she seemed to have violated the heavenly law many times, but she had not been severely punished yet. She could even negotiate the punishment. The heavenly law seemed quite approachable to Gu Xijiu.

Yun Yanli was obviously interested to become her trusted friend. Throughout their conversation, he would answer, without reserve, anything that she did not understand. Yun Yanli had even gifted her with a glistening gold token. Whenever her presence was questioned by anyone in the Saha World, she only had to show the token for an immediate release.

Also, Yun Yanli was indeed a good friend. Even though he failed to retrieve the golden ruler for himself, he did as promised and brought her to the Celestial Fruit Party the next day. She managed to see more than 30 Mighty Immortals. All of them were full of spiritual energy and otherworldly aura. They also had awe-inspiring appearances, far transcending the others in beauty and elegance. However, she did not see the one that she wished to meet.

She had even met the Emperor Immortal. He dressed entirely in purple and possessed a stern temperament. His appearance was equally attractive, but he was not the man. Unfortunately, her visit to the Celestial Fruit Party bore no result.

…

Time went by quickly. Gu Xijiu had stayed for more than six months in heaven. She had been to almost everywhere in the Saha World by now. With Yun Yanli"s help, she managed to see another 20 Mighty Immortals but found nothing.

They all lived in very remote places. Each visit was very time-consuming. Gu Xijiu did not want to leave a bad name behind in heaven, so she had been keeping a very low profile. She was not a very sociable person, so not many people knew about her. Neither would she get herself involved in any dramas or conflicts.

She spent the past six months in the search for the man. When the time came, she had to return to Starry Crescent Land again with the help of the five-colored bird. The ice and snow that had been raging the land finally melted away. Life finally began to flourish. The positive change was probably due to the change of her heart, for she no longer felt the shade of melancholy that had been settling in her heart.

When she stepped into the Biwu Palace once again, she felt as though she was reborn. The four messengers had been greatly helpful. Even in her absence, they had been ruling the land very carefully. They required her presence only when they had to deal with very difficult situations that were beyond their capability.

She led a rather idle life in Starry Crescent Land. She saw the books that were copied by the four messengers. Those were the books that talked about the cultivation of the Lord.

A sudden inspiration occurred to her one day. She asked Mu Feng about the books. "Where did you copy the texts from?"

Mu Feng was obviously taken by surprise. "My Lord, you were the one who told us to copy the books, before you went into the forbidden land."

Gu Xijiu was confused. The content of the cultivation books was very profound. She had never even seen it before. How could she possibly tell them to copy something she did not even know of?

"Where is the original text that you have copied from?"

Mu Feng handed her a book of empty pages. "This is the one, my Lord. It used to be filled with words when we started. When we were done, the book suddenly became empty. We do not even remember what we have copied."

She could tell something was not right.

Gu Xijiu was too tired to think about it before, so she missed out the questionable points. Now that she thought about it seriously, many doubts started to surface.

She looked at the empty books and decided to flip through one of the books.

Suddenly, she had a dim recollection of a figure, sitting by the bed and writing a book attentively. By his side, lay a companion.
