Venerated Venomous Consort

Both of them were chit chatting as the torrential rain poured outside the cave.

Gu Xijiu took a peep outside and felt annoyed. Initially, it was always raining in Tianju Hall during nightfall. However, the rainstorm seemed to have gone since Di Fuyi came with his messengers; she almost forgot about the weather.

As she looked at the thunderstorm and lightning outside, she was wondering whether the weather in Tianju Hall was back to normal or if the heavens were going to punish them for eating the Blue Phoenix. It must be the latter one!

The moment she thought about it, lightning struck the cave and caused a spark! Gu Xijiu was frightened and subconsciously knew the lightning was chasing after Di Fuyi. Thus, she rushed forward and carried him away with her teleportation power.

Di Fuyi hugged her and kept her safe in his arms. In the meantime, he flicked his sleeve, and a seven-colored ray gushed out and engulfed the current in a ball and directed it out from the cave.

"Boom!" A loud explosion was heard, and a cliff collapsed! The loud blast almost made her deaf, and the tremor was powerful! It felt as though the earth was going to crack!

Gu Xijiu was afraid of thunder since childhood, especially super loud ones. However, she had finally overcome it when she joined the assassin camp. However, subconsciously, she was still afraid of it, and she avoided going outdoors during rainy days.

This time, she was really frightened and naturally shrunk in his arms.

Of course, it was not obvious, and Di Fuyi would not know if he did not pay attention. However, he did. He hugged her even tighter, "Don’t be afraid; I’m here."

His voice was extraordinarily clear in the thunderstorm which was powerful enough to calm her heart. Gu Xijiu buried her face in Di Fuyi’s chest when he tried to handle the lightning, so she did not see the seven-colored ray. When more thunder was heard, she tightened her arms around his waist a little.

Di Fuyi looked at her and smiled, "Are you terrified of thunder?"

Gu Xijiu felt awkward for a second, and she immediately noticed she was hugging his waist. She let go instantaneously and replied arrogantly, "No! I’m not afraid!"

Right after she finished, another loud thunder could be heard! Her body was utterly stiff as she tried her best not to rush into his arms.

However, Di Fuyi placed one of his arms around her and told her, "Hmmm, you’re not afraid, but I’m afraid. You have to hug me tightly."

His familiar fragrance was lingering around her nose, and his familiar arms were hugging her. She could even sense his familiar heartbeat in his chest. His pulse was slower than the average person’s; it was about 50 beats per minute. However, every single pound was mighty, and it was beating beside her ear. His heartbeats pounded so hard that it could probably transmit energy to her heart!

She knew she missed the arms, but... Were his words reliable? After all, it might be a lie. She took a deep breath and raised her head as she wanted to struggle out from his arms. When she lifted her head, he coincidentally lowered his instead. Thus, her lips rubbed against his chin and then his lips.
