Gu Xijiu remained silent.
She looked at her own hands and imagined that she would later suffer the same fate. How could she get along with Di Fuyi in future? Her heart felt as though it was squeezed by something.
Subconsciously she did not want to believe in it. “This was just a story you have heard… Some legends are after all, legends. There is a lot of fake information and facts could be twisted. Perhaps he had practiced some evil skills and did not want to share it with everyone. Thus, he created such a story…”
Long Siye looked at her for a moment and sighed. “Xijiu, usually you are not someone who does not want to accept facts. You always face it directly whenever there is any difficulty.”
Gu Xijiu remained silent.
Long Siye patted her shoulder. “Rest assured, even if you are subjected to such a punishment, there is still a solution. When I heard about this story, I was very unconvinced. I was not happy that we could do nothing when we were being punished by the upper bound. Later, I met a patient with similar symptoms and found that after he was struck by the golden thunder, there were some changes in his body. It was just like being affected by nuclear radiation that caused mutation on the body’s genetics…”
Long Siye mentioned a few terminologies in this regard. These terms were like uncommon for lay people, but it was easy to understand for Gu Xijiu who had the same knowledge.
After Long Siye researched for several years, he finally discovered that this kind of punishment did not harm the soul. It only caused the body tissues to change. There was no medical treatment for genetic mutation. There was only one solution – to change body!
Coincidently, Long Siye was studying cloning at that time and wanted to find a guinea pig. Thus, he cloned a body for that man. After the man was reincarnated from the cloned body, the horrible punishment disappeared too.
However, as the clone body was just a trial for Long Siye, it had some defects. The spiritual power of the clone was not as good as the original body, and it could not develop at all. As a result, that man had lived with the cloned body for another 40 years, and he finally died.
When Long Siye briefly explained it, Gu Xijiu was excited!
She was now in a cloned body. If the punishment cursed this cloned body, she could change back to her original body! Her original body was still placed in the mermaid palace!
After she knew the solution, Gu Xijiu felt relieved.
Long Siye was planning to create a cloned body for her but Gu Xijiu rejected his kindness. She said that she had her own way to solve it.
Long Siye sighed and did not force her. He sent her back to the general’s house. Before he left, Long Siye said very seriously, “Xijiu, no matter what difficulties you encounter, please remember that I will always be by your side!”
Gu Xijiu felt warm, and she nodded. “Yes, I will remember it!”
Long Siye finally left.
Gu Xijiu looked at his back and had a deep thought. Long Fan was still sealed in Long Siye’s body and did not have any sign of waking up.
She remembered Di Fuyi used to tell her that Long Fan’s soul was much stronger than Long Siye’s. If there were no interference from the outside, Long Fan would thoroughly ‘eat and melt into’ Long Siye’s body. He would own Long Siye’s memories too.
