2828 I Am Reluctant To Explain Everything That I Do (2/2)

Remorse started to pour in. ”Did you mean that I can actually go into the vortex right after consuming the egg? The pill is not needed anymore?”

”Absolutely. The pill will only work for first-timers. You are here for the second time, so the pill is no longer effective. If not, why would I risk my life to get the Candle Dragon's egg?”

Gu Xijiu remained silent. She finally knew why the pill tasted different; it was because it no longer worked. If he had told her about his plan, she would not have tricked him. Nevertheless, it was all too late now.

Di Fuyi looked at her steadily and intently. ”Divine Lord, now that everything is said and done, would you kindly take back the discipleship?”

As opposed to his usual style, this time, he chose to explain everything thoroughly, which was something that Gu Xijiu was not quite used to. She heaved a sigh before conveying the disappointment, ”No.”

Shocked, Di Fuyi looked at her in disbelief. ”Still? Don't you trust me at all?”

”It is not that I do not trust you. God has witnessed the fact that you are my disciple. If we decide to act against it, the consequences would be inevitable, summoned by the wrath of heaven.”

”Consequences? What kind of punishment are we talking about?”

”To be struck by nine streaks of heavenly lightning.”

Di Fuyi smilingly said, ”Nine streaks of lightning are bearable to me. I am not afraid of the punishment.”

The oath was made out as a joke. Could there really be punishment if he insisted on going against it? Was she trying to scare him or did she really think of him as a fool?
