2804 Substituting One Person For Another 2 (1/2)

Gu Xijiu refused the invitation. ”I am not obliged to do that for you.” She intended to give Di Fuyi a taste of his own medicine.

”Divine Lord, I am actually here to help you,” Di Fuyi said while looking at her intently.

”Hmm, you should finish what you have started then. The Monster Princess is quite pretty. You should be glad that you have a glimpse of her body,” Gu Xijiu teased. She then grasped Wu Qianyan by her wrist and was ready to leave.

”If I told you the secret of my bag, would you care to stay and help me?” Di Fuyi quickly added.

Gu Xijiu stopped abruptly. ”Tell me first, and then I will decide,” she answered without looking back at him.

As offered, Di Fuyi was ready to tell her what she wanted to know. ”The bag has always been around. I do not remember who it belonged to in the first place. You were right. The bag can only contain non-living items, but there is an exception. Without any breath and consciousness, the being can be contained in the bag for a while.”

His explanation was thorough but not entirely convincing. ”As far as I am concerned, a living thing can still breathe even without consciousness,” Gu Xijiu turned around and said to Di Fuyi.

Di Fuyi revealed a pill to her. ”With this, one can mimic death for two hours.”

Gu Xijiu finally understood the situation.

”You said that even without my help, you can still take Qianyan out of here. Were you going to feed her the pill so that she could mimic death and fit into your bag?” She finally made sense of the whole situation now.

”Divine Lord, you are absolutely right. Please operate on her now.”

Gu Xijiu took the knife and played with it around her fingers. ”I do not need it,” she said while flicking the knife away from her hand.
