2453 The Escape 2 (1/2)

The two guardians acknowledged her statement and went away promptly. Hence, only Gu Xijiu and Yun Yanli were outside the cabin. Yun Yanli was quite relieved to have Gu Xijiu with him. Although he was not certain if the actual Divine Lord was here in the Shura World, he was sure that Di Fuyi would not leave Gu Xijiu behind.

As the Divine Lord preferred tranquility, Yun Yanli did not strike up a conversation. Nonetheless, Gu Xijiu did ask him about Zhu Duqing whereabouts, so Yun Yanli told her exactly what she wanted to know- the man had already left without telling him where he was going.

Intensely, Yun Yanli gazed at Gu Xijiu. There was still a matter that had left him perplexed. ”Xijiu, has Mr. Zhu really acknowledged you as his master?”

Gu Xijiu answered briefly, ”Yes.”

”In that case, you must have been to the Devil Kingdom, right? That must be why you were out of touch with me for quite some time. I was worried about you.” Yun Yanli looked at her with concern and care in his eyes.

Gu Xijiu faked a chuckle as she said, ”I did not want you to worry about me. That is why I did not let you know that I went into the Devil Kingdom.”

”Xijiu, you are bold. The surrounding devil aura will easily harm a pure celestial being like you. How did you get in there?”

With a frown, Gu Xijiu answered half-jokingly, ”Why are you asking me so many questions? Is this an interrogation?”

”Of course not! Xijiu, it is not what you think. I am just a little curious.”

Gu Xijiu heaved a sigh as she added, ”Brother Yun, curiosity sometimes kills the cat.”

Yun Yanli took a step forward and said, ”All right. Xijiu, I'll admit. I was really curious. The Devil Kingdom has been in a state of chaos, so I have always wanted to venture into the Devil Kingdom and rule the place. I wanted to give the people there a peaceful life. However, the dense devil aura has greatly limited my mobility. If you know any helpful information, please share it with me.”

He made his statement sound so righteous.
