“Where?”
Di Fuyi put his finger on her lips. “Close your eyes.”
Gu Xijiu did not know what he wanted to do, but she followed his instructions.
Di Fuyi carried her at her waist.
She heard a gust of wind and after a few minutes, Di Fuyi finally spoke, “Come on. Open your eyes.” Gu Xijiu opened her eyes and took a look. She was slightly surprised.
There was a blue ocean with endless seawater. The waves were prominent, and the sea breeze was slightly salty. When the sea breeze blew, she felt a bit cold.
The moonlight was reflected on the surface of the sea. As the waves rose and fell, it looked like flowing gold.
Gu Xijiu’s heart pumped slightly faster. This scene was familiar to her. A few years ago there was a full moon when he brought her to a similar place.
Sure enough, Di Fuyi asked her, “Would you like to go to that Crystal Palace?”
When Gu Xijiu thought of the beautiful Crystal Palace, she felt warm and nodded. “Yes, I want to!”
Di Fuyi held her hand and walked near to the sea. “Today you will be the one who opens the passage. Let me enjoy the moment of being protected by my loved one.”
Gu Xijiu was speechless. She gave him a glance and teased him. “You want to pretend to be weak again?”
Di Fuyi leaned his head on her shoulder. “Well, I am very weak now. I need you to protect me. My dear, the responsibility for opening the passage has been assigned to you.”
Gu Xijiu was speechless. If anyone from the Starry Crescent Land saw how the highly respected Celestial Master Zuo acted cutely, they would be greatly shocked.
Gu Xijiu was good enough to complete the assigned task. Hence, Di Fuyi stood there and dictated how to open the channel. He was very detailed, and she was smart enough to understand. After she practiced once, she had already learned how to open it.
Since they needed to go to the deep sea, the pressure in the deep sea was high. If she made one minor mistake, both of them would be squashed by the immense pressure. Hence, Gu Xijiu decided to practice a few more times.
However, Di Fuyi pulled her and rushed down. “You don’t have to practice anymore. Let’s dive into the action!”
Gu Xijiu wanted to stop him but she had no time to do so. She immediately performed the skill from memory.
After half an hour, Gu Xijiu carried Di Fuyi and sat in a bubble-like structure formed by her spiritual power. They floated in the water and traveled to the deep sea. Soon, they could see the Crystal Palace from afarAt that moment, Gu Xijiu exhaled a long sigh of relief. It was not easy for her to come down!
There were several times along the way where she had a few issues because of unfamiliarity. However, Di Fuyi did not help at all. Regardless of how busy she was along the journey, he just sat there and looked at her like a boss and sought for protection. Gu Xijiu felt like kicking him out from the bubble at that moment!
Fortunately, she responded quickly, and she was intelligent enough. After encountering a few hiccups, she had enough experience to solve the issue.
This kind of real-life practice could train people the best. When they reached the Crystal Palace, Gu Xijiu had mastered the technique to control the bubble.
It was strange to see that this Crystal Palace still looked like a new one although it was located under the sea that was subjected to corrosion. The tiles sparkled, and the walls shined. The coral trees were slim, and the pearl was like a little sun that shined over the Crystal Palace. It made the lonely Crystal Palace look more vibrant.
This was a revisit for Gu Xijiu. When she saw the stone in front of the door, the typeface she carved on the stone was still there, and it was not removed.
‘Gu Xijiu & Di Fuyi’. There was a heart engraved in the middle of these two names like the arrow of a love Cupid.
