The Evil Consort Above An Evil King

Gu Xijiu did not know what to say. Di Fuyi kept referring to her as his ‘baby.’ However, she was also well aware that the man had many weird but practical ideas. Unlike her, the things that she could remember were limited to the events that she had been through over the past six months and nothing more. Hence, she thought that she should listen to him more often. Thus, she agreed with him.

Nonetheless, she had to tell him how the man in the fluttering robes made her feel. “I do not know why, but I do not like him very much.” She found him a little annoying, yet in a familiar fashion. She tried hard to suppress her impulse to take the man down and give him a hard punch.

“What a coincidence! I do not like him very much, either. Baby, you and I are really meant to be together, even our thoughts are in sync,” Di Fuyi answered with a delightful smile. Meanwhile, he could not help but pinch her palm gently.

“You and your sweet-talking!” Gu Xijiu made fun of him, when in fact she enjoyed his attention. She also thought that they were very compatible. She then fixed her eyes on their hands that were interlocked in a tight grip. It was heartwarming like they had been doing this for many years. She would very much like to hold his hand for the rest of their lives. Therefore, they held their hands and watched the man as he continued to make his grand entrance.

The man on the ship finally stood up. With a leap, he slid down the stripe that was waving in the wind. His purple robes were loose, so the soft fabrics danced in the air as he slowly made his way down, like a flag ruffling in the breeze. He looked somewhat elegant and unconventional. In the blink of an eye, he landed safely. However, instead of landing on the ground, he decided to step onto the backs of the four young men, who were still kneeling with their heads down.

Gu Xijiu could finally see the man’s face clearly and was surprised. The man had a handsome face with delicate features. His eyebrows were shaped in a perfect arch, complementing his big, bright eyes. He had an attractive smile on his face, and his skin was soft and supple, fairer than any man should possibly be. On his forehead, he was wearing a headband in the shape of a fox’s eye. His was as beautiful as a lady, in fact. There was a soft feminine quality in his appearance.

The man was the governor, also known as Ye Ling. After he landed, the eight ladies subsequently got down from the floating ship. Quickly, they covered the ground with the petals before he stepped forward. Soon, all these ladies lay on the ground one by one forming a line. Their white dresses formed a very strong contrast to the purple petals that glittered the land.

From the back of the four young men, he took a step forward and stepped on the leg of the first lady in white. He slowly continued and stepped over her entire body. He then stepped onto the second lady, and the process continued.

Gu Xijiu was speechless. The show was overly dramatic. He did not respect these people at all. Despite her frustration, Gu Xijiu still had a feeling that the governor was actually an impersonation of someone else with the same purple robes and fox eye headband. She was too sure that she knew the man.

Ye Ling walked slowly towards the duo and stopped about two meters away from them. Suspiciously, he stared at them before questioning their identity. “Are you the leaders of the villagers?”

“I am one of the villagers,” Gu Xijiu answered in an icy tone.

Ye Ling gave her a half-smile and said, “You certainly do not look like one. Your appearance is clearly different from them.” He then took another look at Di Fuyi and asked, “Who is this?”

“My fiancé,” Gu Xijiu answered him loudly and clearly.

Ye Ling squinted his eyes in disbelief. He observed Di Fuyi thoroughly and was offended. Di Fuyi only stood casually, but the man seemed to possess a greater aura than he did, even in a casual posture.
