Why Didn't You Continue Muddling Through?

The soul and the body had to be completely matched and only the original soul of the body could strike such a perfect match!

Then he thought of another possibility, "The previous Gu Xijiu was the one he was looking for and the current one was reborn.

However, when he secretly investigated the original Gu Xijiu, he found that she was totally a coward.

Though the situation was bad, based on his understanding on that person’s character, she could live well and would not get bullied too badly.

If she was really a reincarnation, how could she end up with disappointment for so many years?

Due to this reason, he did not dare to tell the truth all these years but had kept testing her secretly.

Until he saw the teleportation technique that she used and her vivid makeup skills, only then he could confirm that it was her!

"Xijiu, I don’t care how you came into this body but I know it’s you, or else, how would you know about teleportation, medical skills and makeup skills? How did you know that there was a girl in my life before?"

"That's because I dreamed about her a year ago!" Gu Xijiu interrupted him.

"Uh? What do you mean?"

"A year ago, there was a time I used to dream about a woman. She dressed very strangely and she told me that she had the same name as I did, so she wanted to teach me all her skills…"Gu Xijiu started to make up a story.

Long Siye did not believe her, "Indeed, she could teach you makeup and medical skills, but how about teleportation? That was her innate ability and could not be taught to anyone else."

Gu Xijiu sipped her mouth, "In fact, I have this teleportation technique since I was young. However, as I am afraid that my family members would treat me like a monster, I never use it in public."

Long Siye explained, "But you have a totally different personality now and becoming more like her!"

"The characteristics of a person can change. I had repressed it and it was not my true nature. After this, when I dreamed about the other Gu Xijiu, she asked me not to tolerate it anymore or I would die from getting bullied. At first, I did not believe it and did not do according to what she said, after a few incidents, I started to realize that she was right. I finally made the hardest decision to change…" Gu Xiju told the story flawlessly.

Long Siye remained silent for a long while, "How come you never told me about this earlier?"

Gu Xijiu sighed, "I am actually struggling to share this. I have mistakenly said that I received the heaven gift and Celestial Master Zuo has been chasing me so badly. I want to find a shelter to rest so I was thinking to muddle through the mistake…"

"Why didn't you continue muddling through, but choose to tell me the truth now?"

"Because I never expected that you would have such strong feelings towards Gu Xijiu. I don’t want to pretend to get help from you - that is why I chose to speak out now."

Long Siye looked into her eyes.

Gu Xijiu calmly looked back at him.

At the moment, she had removed her makeup and was talking to Long Siye with her original appearance. She had a look of seriousness in her eyes and he could not see any abnormality.

After a while, Long Siye shifted his gaze and did not continue with the topic at hand. He changed the subject, "Do you want to eat fish? There are green barracudas in the lake and it tastes like your favorite sea bass. If you would like to repay me, can you do a fish feast for me?"

Gu Xijiu remained silent.

...

It was a very luxurious fish feast. There were various dishes - steamed fish, stewed fish, fried fish and so on.
