He Held You

The Sterile Cappella Curse was the curse she placed on Di Fuyi that day. Though it was challenging to break, he had solved it with little effort. Therefore, he was evidently proficient in curing poisons.

Though the poison on her saber was poisonous, it was not difficult to cure. Gu Xijiu believed that it would be simple Di Fuyi.

Gu Xijiu reasoned all this clearly in her heart, but she felt slightly nervous.

"This is true." The Firmament Stone agreed. "But, Master, other than the fact that he has to bring you to the test, he’s been good to you. After you were drunk, he held you because he was afraid that you’d roll down."

Gu Xijiu, "…"

"When you vomit, you didn’t only vomit on the back of the unicorn but also on his sleeves."

"…"

She did not know all these at all, but she was somehow touched. This person had a fetish about cleanliness, yet he did not kick her down even after she threw up on his sleeves.

"Master, you were so brave when drunk. You rode on his body to kiss him." The Firmament Stone continued exclaiming.

The fruit in Gu Xijiu's hand fell on the ground, "Whh…what?"

"But Celestial Master Zuo was rather strange today. After you were fell into the water, he jumped in too. He did not use any magic but instead used his hands when he washed away the filth on your body. While he was helping you, you were moving here and there. You almost hit his face!"

Gu Xijiu was at a lost for words.

"He still didn't any spells. After he carried you up to the shore, he changed his robes and dried his hair with wind. He wanted to help you change too but he did not. Maybe he has a conscience after all. He only let you drink some liquid to sober you up, and when he saw that you were shivering because of the cold, he started a fire and put you near to the fire…"

Gu Xijiu, "…"

"Master, I’m very puzzled. When you were surrounded by the Thunderbloods Mastiffs, he could actually deal with them easily but why did he use his own essence and blood to break your sealed teleportation powers so that you can bring him along and escape instead? What’s his intention? What do you think?"

Gu Xijiu finally spoke this time but asked rather than answered, "His essence and blood?"

"Yea, he should have bitten his tongue to send his blood into your mouth."

Gu Xijiu clenched her fists and asked, "So he was not the one who sealed my teleportation powers?"

"He shouldn’t be..." The Firmament Stone was also uncertain, "I think Long Siye did it."

Gu Xijiu, "…" She closed her eyes and teleported again.

...

That stones hill was still there, but it no longer looked peaceful.

Di Fuyi was lying on a big stone, unmoved, and his handsome face had turned green.

Surrounding the stones hill, were three tall and ferocious wild wolves, prowling towards him.

One of them even was ready to attack!

Damn it!

Gu Xijiu launched herself towards him, carried him an unknown source of energy and teleported.

...

They appeared in the valley.

This place was relatively safe compared to the others she had been to today. It was calm and did not have any ferocious beasts.

Therefore, it was the first destination Gu Xijiu carried Di Fuyi to.

The weight of carrying him while he was awake and while he was unconscious was different. He was very heavy when he was unconscious. Furthermore, Gu Xijiu was very small in size, carrying him was exhausting indeed.
