2390 I Know (2/2)
However, this strategy consumed a lot of spiritual power, and Zhu Duqing began to feel dizzy after casting spells on the bamboos. The two men with the highest spiritual powers were busy casting spells; hence, the responsibility of guarding the array fell on Gu Xijiu and Huan Qianjun's shoulders.
It was not a big deal for Gu Xijiu as she was the one who created the array and was good at using the rocks as her shield. However, it was a little more difficult for Hua Qianjun as he struggled to defend himself. In just a few minutes, his face began to turn pale, and his limbs were numb.
Fortunately, Di Fuyi often passed by and managed to help him out. Otherwise, he would have slumped to the ground purely out of exhaustion. Gu Xijiu was sitting at the center of the array. Although she was stressed out too, it was manageable for her at the moment.
Di Fuyi also helped her occasionally, but she would frown when he did. ”I can manage this; you should help Guardian Hua.”
Di Fuyi looked at her and asked, ”Do you not want my help?”
Gu Xijiu pursed her lips. ”I can handle this!”
Di Fuyi paused and sighed. ”Xijiu, sometimes, I wish that you are weaker.” In fact, he hoped that she could rely on him. He would even be okay if she were acting like a cute baby in front of him. He would certainly prefer that to her trying to put everything on her shoulders like a man.
He wanted to keep her under his wings so that he could protect her from everything, including the wind and rain. Subconsciously, he thought that it was the way they should interact with each other. He did not want their relationship to be the way it was right now. She was too independent to the extent that she might even want to stand in front of him and protect him!
It was not the time to argue with her, so Di Fuyi left her side and continued casting spells on the rocks.
Gu Xijiu paused and then smiled awkwardly. In fact, she wanted to be weak sometimes. However, she could not do so whenever she remembered that Di Fuyi was still a kid!?
She used to act cute with him when she suffered from amnesia and thought that Di Fuyi was her fiance. However, she remembered everything now. How could she be cute to a child who was just ten-years-old?
Yun Qingluo was indeed a lovely woman; she was just like a little bunny in front of Di Fuyi. Perhaps, that was the reason he liked her? Gu Xijiu shook her head as she did not want to think about all these problems right now.
She was not usually an indecisive person; however, she was completely helpless when it came to love. She realized that she was not her usual self. In fact, she was distracted and did not notice that the crocodile, which was busy attacking Hua Qianjun, had changed its target. Its claw nearly smashed her!
When she noticed it, its claw almost hit her skull! ”Watch out!” She heard a loud shout. Hua Qianjun jumped forward and landed in front of her! Swiftly, she quickly teleported away with the man. Unfortunately, she was slightly late. When they landed on a giant rock, she realized that Hua Qianjun's chest was injured!
Dark green blood gushed out from the wound, and his face turned purplish in an instant! He was poisoned! Fortunately, all of them had consumed an antidote before they entered the swamp. Otherwise, Hua Qianjun would have been dead by now.
