Hu Jiusheng was born with great beauty, a fact Ji Fang knew the moment he first laid eyes on her.
Back then, Hu Jiusheng had just joined the Summoning Court as a junior Scepter Summoner, while Ji Fang was the designated successor to the Penglai Pope; he took a liking to Hu Jiusheng instantly.
He even brushed aside everyone's objections, putting all his effort into promoting her.
But Hu Jiusheng had no fondness for him whatsoever.
Even after Hu Jiusheng betrayed the Church Court and Ji Fang ascended to the papal throne, his infatuation with Hu Jiusheng didn't waver in the slightest.
What infuriated him was that Hu Jiusheng, the woman he regarded as his own, actually got together with Yun Canghai.
Ji Fang issued an order for Hu Jiusheng's arrest, directing the Summoner's of the Summoning Court to kill her child on sight and poisoned Yun Canghai.
