Having resolved the matter with Long Siye, Gu Xijiu suddenly thought about Yun Yanli . He used to be a man of great talent with a bold vision . Unfortunately, it was not his era . Gu Xijiu took another two gla.s.ses of wine before announcing her departure .

"Xijiu, I would like to discuss some affairs with you, personally . Please proceed to my study room when the Celestial Flower Party comes to an end . "

Gu Xijiu joked with a tight smile, "Are you trying to set me up?"

The Emperor Immortal could not hold back his amus.e.m.e.nt . "I dare not . "

They continued to chat casually for a while . Soon, Gu Xijiu realized that the emperor was a quick, definite man who was bold enough to do something and accept the consequence of his actions, which was a trait that they commonly shared .

She used to treat the Emperor Immortal like a stranger .  Now, she realized that she could actually keep him as a friend . His undisguised character explained why the Divine Lord would a.s.sist him on his quest to the throne back then .

The two had a couple more drinks, and suddenly, the Emperor Immortal looked at her and sighed . "Xijiu, you are so skilled in concealing your emotions and appearance . Actually, you look like someone I know . "

Hesitantly, Gu Xijiu continued, "Hmm, like who?"

"The Great Devil, Ning Xuemo, the mother of Nianmo . "

A sudden realization hit her . Did Nianmo fall for her because of his issues with his mother? Before she could begin to contemplate such a possibility, the ground started to shake violently .

Gu Xijiu was utterly surprised . It was a ma.s.sive earthquake! Never had she expected that the ninth heaven would ever encounter such a natural disaster . Moreover, it was a rare earthquake with an exceptionally large scale of damage .

From a scale of one to ten, the intensity of the earthquake could easily be at ten! Many buildings were flattened . The rosy clouds were completely disarranged like a complete mess . It felt as though the sky was about to collapse . Many of guests could barely stand steadily .

The earthquake came without warnings, so the people were caught unprepared . Hectically, the servants crawled on the floor, for they could barely hold themselves together . The guests dispersed in a mess, like falling leaves in a strong breeze .

There was something strange about the earthquake; it was as if there was a disruption in the force of gravity . The celestial beings had completely lost their ability to fly; they could only run . As the ground was falling apart, it was more convenient to fly . However, they could only run .  

Gu Xijiu joined them soon enough . On her way, she even used her extraordinary Kung Fu to rescue one or two unfortunate servants who had so carelessly fallen into the cracks .

While she was running, a pitch-black vortex suddenly emerged on the ground . It came without warning, right under her feet! Caught in the turbulence with nowhere to run, the sudden emergence of darkness cloaked her vision as she slowly fell into the whirlpool .

The mussel and Lu Wu were running along with her, not too far behind . When they saw the black vortex, it was already too late for them to warn her . In the blink of an eye, their master had disappeared into the whirlpool .

…

"My prince, may I return to my usual form?" Jing Ling Er asked for Di Fuyi's permission, hesitantly .

Di Fuyi threw her a look before answering, "You look quite adorable like this . "

Jing Ling Er scratched her head in complete disapproval .

Bai Ze was amazed by the transformation as well . "Flying Serpent, you are truly capable of turning yourself into a beautiful woman . Like I said, your human form is very feminine . You should see the look on their faces the moment you landed in the hall . "

"Speak no more of it!" Jing Ling Er responded angrily . Then, she turned to look at Di Fuyi . "My prince, I think the drama has ended . "

Di Fuyi stared blankly at the distant sky and answered, "Yes, it has come to an end . She was not bothered at all . "

Bai Ze and Jing Ling Er looked at each other in disappointment . "My prince, should you go back and check out the scene?" Bai Ze offered .

Di Fuyi let out a sarcastic laugh . "It is unnecessary . I shall carry on, with or without her . In fact, I do not wish to see her anymore . Let's go . "

Bai Ze and the Flying Serpent looked at each other blankly . In unison, they then agreed to leave .

All of a sudden, they heard loud cras.h.i.+ng sounds coming from the distance .  They looked back, only to realize that numerous buildings had collapsed . What happened?
