Evil Emperor’s Wild Consort

“You’re heartless, little girl. I’ve held you in my arms for such a long time and yet you pushed me away so cruelly the moment you awaken.”

Zixie looked extremely hurt as if he had suffered a huge amount of abuse.

“Zixie?” Gu Ruoyun was astonished, “Why have you shown yourself? Didn’t I tell you…”

“Don’t you worry. I sensed a force in here that can help block my aura. No one will be able to sense my presence. But you’re pretty bold, jumping off a cliff like that. Are you not afraid of dying?”

“I am very afraid of dying. That’s why I will never put my life in danger,” Gu Ruoyun smiled, “I heard the sound of running water at the edge of the cliff and guessed that it wouldn’t be a very sharp drop. At least, it’s not deep enough for me to fall to my death. Oh right, you’ve mentioned that there’s a force within this area, what is it?”

Zixie grew silent, pausing for half a minute before raising his head towards Gu Ruoyun with a serious look on his handsome face.

“The Heavenly Spirit Formation was not a formation that belongs to the Weapon Refining Sect. It originated from the East Peak Mainland and was created by a strong cultivator! The details of this are unclear to me but I can sense a strong power within.”

“A strong power?” Gu Ruoyun frowned, a glint flashed across her eyes, “Zixie, I’d like to investigate the situation and see what secrets lie within this cave!”

Zixie looked slightly hesitant, briefly thinking over her request before replying, “You know that my powers are sealed, little girl. It was only just now that I felt the first seal loosen. I must immediately shut myself in closed door cultivation in order to break through it, so…”

“Don’t worry. I’ll be alright on my own.”

“Okay,” Zixie nodded, “Should you be in any danger, summon me immediately. I will awaken from my slumber and come to your rescue.”

Gu Ruoyun did not reply. She understood that this closed door cultivation was very important for Zixie. Unless she lands in an absolutely tight spot, she would not summon him…

In the cave, the sound of rippling waters could be heard clearly. It struck Gu Ruoyun, deep in her heart. Her heart raced with anxiety.

She made slow and careful footsteps, as if she was afraid that she would disturb the things around her. In the beginning, she could not sense the mysterious power that Zixie had mentioned. But the more she explored, the more the power came within range of her senses, making it hard for her to breathe.

But strangely, there was not the slightest bit of danger along the way!

“No!” She denied. “I could feel myself surrounded by strange auras. Yet these unknown creatures did not attack me.”

This greatly puzzled her, she could not understand what was going on.

Even she herself did not know how long she had been walking until a stone door appeared in front of her.

“There’s no mistake about it, it’s behind this door. That mysterious power is hiding behind this door.”

Gu Ruoyun took a deep breath, slowly placing her hand on the stone door. Just as she thought she had prepared herself, the stone door opened on its own.

In that instant, the sight before her took her breath away. She had never seen such a stunning sight.

On a bed in the stone room, lay a man. His hair was a mass of dazzling silver hair, like the silver ripples of water, cascading onto the floor. He wore a robe of crimson blood-red, which contrasted with his pale features perfectly. Between his brows was a crimson flame that looked very much like a rose in full bloom. It was absolutely mesmerizing.

Gu Ruoyun had never seen such a breathtakingly beautiful man in her entire life. Not even the most beautiful woman in the world had one-tenth of his beauty. A single look was all it took to make one’s heart skip a beat.

Before she could recover her senses, the man slowly opened his eyes.

Confusion and uncertainty clouded the man’s crimson eyes as he slowly swept his gaze around the stone room before his line of sight finally landed on Gu Ruoyun.

She did not know why but Gu Ruoyun instinctively felt as if this man was extremely dangerous! So dangerous that he had the power to destroy the entire world!

However, whatever the man said next stunned her, rooting her to where she stood. It made her lose all sense of propriety.

“Wife.”

“Wife?” She thought.

It was like a thunderbolt had struck her. Gu Ruoyun stared in astonishment at the man’s peerlessly beautiful face.

“This man… Upon opening his eyes, he called me… his wife?” She wondered to herself, confused.

“Who are you? Why are you here?”

The man frowned and shook his head, “I don’t know.”

“You don’t know?”

“I don’t remember anything.”

Gu Ruoyun stroked her chin as she watched the man who was struggling to recall his identity.

“It seemed that this guy had lost his memories,” she mused, “He’s forgotten everything.”

…

Meanwhile, in a part of the Heavenly Spirit Formation, beyond the reach of Gu Ruoyun’s senses, around a mountain range in the mainland, a loud roar rang out, echoing throughout the skies. The spiritual beasts in the mountain range fell on their knees, collectively bowing towards a certain direction.

“Our king has awoken! Everyone shall welcome him! All shall bow before him! Our king has returned!”
