"Fox Lord! Fox Immortal! I was blind and didn't recognize you, Fox Immortal! Please forgive me! I promise I'll build you a Fox Immortal Temple and worship you every day!" Duxiu hurriedly kowtowed and admitted his mistake.
Snap—
Upon hearing Duxiu's words, Gu Liyan slapped Duxiu on the head without saying a word, and shouted, "I'm not dead yet! Why do I need you to build a temple for me? And worship me? Go to hell!"
Gu Liyan once again vented his anger on Duxiu, beating him until Duxiu lay on the ground groaning and crying out in pain.
After hitting him for a while, Gu Liyan finished venting his anger and glared at Du Xiu with displeasure. Then he reached out and ripped off the fake beard that was stuck to Du Xiu's chin. "You fatso, why are you pretending to be an old man when you're so young!"
Du Xiu's honest and kind face was revealed. He looked bitter and aggrieved as he said, "If I don't do this, those idiots won't believe I'm a master!"
"Pah!" Gu Liyan spat in annoyance. "Do you think you look like that now? Always showing off your eight-pack abs. If you know how to work on your abs, why don't you lose some fat on your face? I really don't know what you're thinking, and you even have a goat's beard!"
When Gu Liyan criticized him, Du Xiu just chuckled and dared not say anything.
After cursing for a while, Gu Liyan got tired and glared at Duxiu, asking, "You fatso, what's the deal with this Central City you're talking about?"
"My lord, the Central City, as its name suggests, is located in the very center of the four cities. Although it is not as large as the four cities, it gathers the cultures of all four cities and is definitely the most chaotic place!" Du Xiu explained with great enthusiasm. It seems that this guy must be doing very well in the Central City!
Gu Liyan looked at Duxiu with a threatening gaze and said coldly, "Fatty, you already know my identity. Tell me, what should I do with you?"
Du Xiu's face stiffened, and he awkwardly said, "Fox Fairy, you are a great immortal, I dare not fight with you. Besides, if you are going to the Central City, you will need a guide, right?"
Gu Liyan raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly. "You're right, I do want to go to the Central City, and I do need a guide. However... I don't need a murderer and arsonist as my guide! So you—"
Gu Liyan squinted at Duxiu and spoke in a threatening tone.
Seeing the murderous intent in Gu Liyan's eyes, Du Xiu turned pale with fright. Although he didn't know Gu Liyan's personality, this look was exactly the same as his own when he faced the mirror!
Without saying a word, he immediately knelt on the ground and continued to kowtow, eagerly saying, "Great Immortal, I, Duxiu, am greedy for money and lustful, but I would never kill anyone!"
"Bullshit! You yourself said you committed murder and arson before!" Gu Liyan pouted and glared at Duxiu before speaking.
Du Xiu looked embarrassed. "If I don't say it like that, how can I make them fear me?"
Gu Liyan frowned. "Then explain to me what exactly is going on?"
Upon hearing Gu Liyan offer an explanation, Du Xiu's eyes lit up, and he began to speak animatedly:
“I learned a little about divination and feng shui when I was young, but I didn’t master it. In fact, because of my strong fate, my family members died. So I can only use my mediocre skills to swindle and cheat to make a living.”
“I’ve been traveling between the four cities since I was thirteen. I know all four cities very well! A while ago, I accidentally offended someone in the central district, which is why I came to the western border near the desolate city. That’s when I heard about the cursed witch.”
Upon hearing Du Xiu refer to her as the "misfortune witch," Gu Liyan glared at Du Xiu and said, "You're not allowed to call her the 'misfortune witch' anymore!"
Seeing Gu Liyan's sharp gaze, Duxiu hurriedly nodded, "Yes, yes, if I had known that the misfortune... ah, I mean that beautiful and lovely young lady, if I had known that she was your woman, Lord Fox Demon, I would never have dared to provoke her even if you killed me!"
Hearing Duxiu's words, Gu Liyan's expression softened, and she gave him a look: You have good eyesight!
Gu Liyan continued, "I don't understand why some people call her the Wicked Demoness. Is it because of you?"
"Absolutely not! I swear to God!" Duxiu immediately became agitated. "It's just that your woman's luck is really too bad. If you get too close, you might get yourself into trouble!"
Gu Liyan glared at Duxiu, "You still have the nerve to talk about others? Haven't you caused enough deaths yourself?!"
Du Xiu choked, "Cough cough, this, this is different. It's normal for me to be so lucky that I bring death to everyone, but you, woman, are really severely lacking in luck."
"Then tell me, just how serious is it?"
Gu Liyan glared at Duxiu: If he can't answer, then keep beating him up!
"My lord, putting aside all other luck, this girl's love life is truly lacking. Although love is preordained, human intervention can sometimes make even the heavens suffer!" Du Xiu explained earnestly, "Every time I see this girl, the place is affected by feng shui, either signifying the destruction of her family or the separation of her wife and children!"
"I'm not bragging, but even if I don't understand feng shui, I can still see this. So, for the sake of my livelihood, I went to remind the people who had a romantic relationship with that girl... Maybe it's because I always happened to be around her wedding time that people misunderstood me, and that's how I got the reputation of being a cursed witch?"
Gu Liyan glared at Duxiu: Isn't it all because you spread rumors and caused trouble!
Gu Liyan squinted at Duxiu with annoyance and asked, "Then tell me, why were those families killed?"
Du Xiu shrugged. "I don't know. I heard this news after I left, and I haven't gone back to verify it. But I heard it was a natural disaster, I'm not really sure. But because of these few things, my name, Du Xiu, has actually become more famous!"
