The Evil Consort Above An Evil King

‘This should be the responsibility of the newly wedded couple, shouldn’t it?!’ Had it had been hard for the couple to spend some time together? Perhaps, that was the reason they did not want to be disturbed by the light bulb, little Nianmo? Since he did not have time for his son, he was hoping that she could help out? Was it right? Shen Jiuli had not even interacted with Gu Xijiu; how could he entrust his child in her hands? Was he not afraid that she would kidnap his child?

Gu Xijiu felt that perhaps the Divine Lord’s mind was too intricate to be comprehended; hence, she gave up on figuring it out. She turned around to have a look at Shen Nianmo’s palace and did not want to freak him out again. Hence, she left.

…

Gu Xijiu had a dream that night. It was a weird dream. She dreamt that she was at a place that looked somewhat transcendental and chaotic. The clouds that looked like a rainbow around her were undulating to the current. And within that was a floating palace.

The palace was bright purple, looking ethereal within the clouds. Above the palace was the vast starry sky. Gu Xijiu stood before the palace and tilted her head upwards towards the starry sky. That was her first time seeing such a starry sky!

To be precise, the starry sky before her eyes at the moment was like the view you would only get after boarding a spaceship. Each star had a different shape and a different colour. Besides that, they were orbiting under high speed in the sky, making them look extremely astounding.

Capturing all these images was enough to make her dizzy. Her vision blurred up, while the world apparently spun around her; she almost tripped and fell. Gu Xijiu quickly looked downwards, afraid to stare at it any longer.

She was still rather puzzled; she had studied the constellation map when she was on the earth and was considered an expert in the field. However, she felt that those constellations that she had seen were foreign to her. What was that place? Why did she come here?

Within her heart were questions, and her gaze suddenly fell on the top of the palace. A person in a bright purple coat came from nowhere and was lying there all by himself. His long hair was spread out behind him, and within the hair were traces of bright red.

A chess set seemed to be placed before him. On the chessboard were chess pieces that were well laid out. However, upon closer observation, Gu Xijiu knew that this was not an ordinary chess set as the pieces were in numbers much greater than that of normal chess. They were moving by themselves about the chessboard, but it was as if some rules restrained the pieces on the chessboard.

The person in the purple robe was not facing Gu Xijiu directly; hence, Gu Xijiu could not clearly identify him. Silhouetted by the light from the chess that looked like stars, his fingertips looked white and sparkly. On his ring finger was a ring of blinding light.

Gu Xijiu frowned while staring at the person, and her heart was beating frantically. She thought that it must be the first time that she had seen this man, but he seemed familiar, and that familiarity was capable of reminding her of a sense of sorrow in her heart. Who was he?

“Hey, I am sorry. Excuse me.” She called out to greet the person.

The person was still lying there and did not bother even to turn to look at her.

“Hey, may I know where am I? And who are you, sir?”

The person kept his silence as if he failed to hear anything. Could he not hear her?

That scenario was not the first she had encountered in her dreams. Gu Xijiu suddenly felt an urge to meet him upfront, to know his identity!
