2898 The Dissolution Of Their Engagement 2 (2/2)

Jealous? Gu Xijiu laughed at the silliness. \”No, honestly.\” She gave him a short pause before resuming calmly, \”All right, that is it. I will find someone else to keep the show going.\”

\”Are you angry?\”

Amused, Gu Xijiu laughed out loud. \”I am not. Don't worry; I can never be angry with you. After all, you are not obliged to help me. Even without the wedding, you will still be a friend of mine.\”

It was yet another specimen of her great generosity towards Di Fuyi.

\”You…\” Di Fuyi did not finish his sentence before the call was ended.

Just like that, everything was said and done. There was no need for any further entanglement. Relieved, Gu Xijiu decided to stretch to get ready for another day of work. If she could not sleep, she might as well get down to work.

When all of the spiritual stones were collected, her mission would be deemed complete. She would then be free to leave the Devil Kingdom since she was no longer needed here. She disengaged the wizardry barrier and started walking towards one of the many stones scattered around the hill.

From a distance, she started casting a spell.

However, next to the stone that she laid on, sudden wisps of red smoke rose into the air and transformed into a giant fist. Aggressively, it started attacking her.

Startled, Gu Xijiu took a huge leap to the back from the boulder. She was at least ten feet away. Therefore, the red fist missed her. With a quick sway, it slowly gathered and transformed into the shape of a man.

The young man in red stood proudly before her. He looked at her with his sharp eyes, but a mark on his forehead was his most prominent feature. His red, supple lips glistened under the moonlight, which greatly complemented his big, red robes. There he stood, looking as graceful as ever.

Gu Xijiu realized that his eyes were dark emerald as he fixedly stared at her as if inviting her to fight.
