Di Fuyi’s voice was cold, but what he said could not be refuted.
Gu Xjiui replied, “But… I have cultivated it step by step since the first day! I am the one who helped this body to get rid of the lousy status that it had when I possessed it. I have trained it to level eight. I helped the original owner to get revenge, and the original owner had acquiesced it to me…”
She stared at Di Fuyi. “You used to tell me that this body was not prepared for her. Did you lie to me at the time?”
Di Fuyi looked at her and did not speak. He was pressing on his fingers in his sleeve until his fingertips turned pale.
“Di Fuyi, I had given you this body eight years ago, but why did you follow me to the Dark Forest at that time? You already got what you wanted. Why did you come to me again and take such a big risk… Why? Since you want her to come back to life, you must love her very much. Why did you want to marry me in the core array and to be so loving to me over the last eight years? Why?”
Her mind started thinking of all the possible reasons. The grief and anger started to rush out from her limbs and gathered in her chest. Her pale face also started to turn red.
Her hands and feet were cold, but there was a fire burning in her heart. She looked straight into Di Fuyi’s eyes. “Di Fuyi, tell me! Why did you want to do so?”
Di Fuyi lowered his eyes. “I am sorry.”
He said these three words and then suddenly stepped forward. A seven-colored rope flew out from his sleeve. It’s his magic weapon. Gu Xijiu was eager to dodge it but still could not avoid it as it caught her by surprise.
In just a blink of an eye, she was tied tightly by the rope and stood motionless in front of Di Fuyi. She could not move and also could not speak anymore. She could only watch him draw closer to her. He raised his sleeve, and she had fallen into his arms.
Gu Xijiu’s heart completely sunk.
“Gu Xijiu… Take a nap. It will be alright after you wake up…” His pale palm pressed on her forehead, and a light began to emerge.
She was scared. There was fear in her eyes, and she started to tear. Although she could not speak, the tears rolled down her eyes and dropped on his hand. Di Fuyi suddenly froze as he felt it.
“Don’t be afraid…” he said. The light finally went into Gu Xijiu’s forehead.
At this very moment, there was only one thought in her mind – who else could she trust in this world?
…
Lan Yaoguang was cracking his head trying to figure out how to find his sister. He basically sent all the guards in the mermaid palace to find her, but no one knew where Gu Xijiu had gone.
Moreover, most of the people had not seen this new-born queen before. They could only find her based on the portrait drawn by Lan Yaoguang.
Unfortunately, his artistic skills were not that good. The portrait he drew was not even 30% similar to Gu Xijiu. Those guards had found many people, but after verified by Lan Yaoguang and Lan Jingyi, they knew that none of them were her.
“Brother, I think she is not our sister but is actually Gu Xijiu! When I look into her eyes, I don’t see any familiarity…” Lan Jingyi tried to speak out her opinion.
“No, Brother Huang will never deceive us. He said that the one who woke up is our sister. Lan Jingke has slept for thousands of years and might not be familiar with our current palace. Perhaps she has gone to find her old friends…”
