2797 This Was Revenge. (2/2)

Fan Qianshi could no longer keep his eyes open as he swayed and tumbled forward into Gu Xijiu's arms. Gu Xijiu quickly held him up and asked, ”What is wrong?”

Fan Qianshi had to lean on Gu Xijiu to keep his balance. His entire forehead was drenched in cold sweats. ”I… I am too tired.”

Troubled, Gu Xijiu quickly read his pulse and was surprised by his lack of vitality, which was attributable to overwork and his lack of proper rest.

”When did you last sleep?” Gu Xijiu asked.

”I have not had any rest since the day of your disappearance, but don't worry, I am still holding on. I will now go and find out more about Qianyan,” he reassured. He tried to steady himself, but his stubbornness only worsened his condition. He could not even keep his body straight. At this point, he was already sweating uncontrollably.

Gu Xijiu could not bear to see him in such a condition. Fan Qianshi turned to look at her. His eyes glimpsed with delight. ”Is there anything else that you need, master?”

Gu Xijiu did not look at him but raised her hand and tossed him a bottle of pills. ”Take two pills to help revitalize your body. All right, now go.”

Fan Qianshi took a look at the bottle in his hand and became slightly disappointed. ”Yes, master.” He then left.

Gu Xijiu watched as Fan Qianshi slowly disappeared and gave an expression of disapproval. She knew what Fan Qianshi was thinking. He was clearly hoping that he could stay by her side. He was actually very reluctant to go. However, the more he wanted to stay, the more she had to make him go.

Gu Xijiu did not stay for long before returning to Fanyin Valley. The place had been completely ransacked. Many things were lost, including the herbs and magical items that remained unknown even to her closest disciple.

Luckily, she had kept away some of the most important herbs and magical items in her personal storage bag. Otherwise, the theft would have totally cleared her out.

She took a look at the signs on her palm and let out an expression of contempt. With the recovery of her spiritual power, perhaps she could finally teach the Monster King a lesson.

The most interesting news that had been circulating in the Monster Kingdom was about Wu Qianyan, the female servant of the Creator Deity, who was accused of murdering her master and would be punished by dismemberment on a full-moon night.

The Monster Princess was supposed to be punished first, but according to the law of the Monster Kingdom, only one criminal could be punished by dismemberment in a month. Since they agreed to punish Wu Qianyan first, the death penalty of the Monster Princess, Yao Tingting, was postponed until a month later.

Gu Xijiu heard about the news when she first arrived in the capital of the Monster Kingdom, Lanyue City. She had her face disguised before meeting up with Fan Qianshi, who had arrived a day before. Together, they entered a restaurant.

The restaurant was a place where gossips were widespread. She heard about the news from the people around her while she was eating.
