2988 Working Together 3 (2/2)

He then looked at Gu Xijiu and continued, ”Xijiu, stop running away, will you? Otherwise, I will have to keep it away in my storage bag again while I go after you. As you may already know, I am a rather lazy and clumsy person. I may forget to take it out to get some fresh air. Who knows how long it would be left in there?

It was a firm threat, and Gu Xijiu knew that Fan Qianshi was surely capable of inflicting such hostile pain on the poor creature.

Therefore, she would no longer run away. ”I did not want to run at first, but your tireless pursuit quite entertained me, so I decided to play along,” she added with a polite smile.

She began yawning again, seeming out of boredom. ”We are not getting out of this place, anyway. So, your pursuit seems insignificant. What good can it do?”

”Where is Di Fuyi?” Fan Qianshi asked.

”He and I have parted ways. We were supposed to contact each other when Di Hao was found. However, apparently getting into this place is a one-way ticket. All means of communication fail miserably. I cannot send out any messages to him at all.”

Fan Qianshi could not tell if she was telling the truth or not.

”Fan Qianshi, we are both trapped here. Shall we cease our fight for now? We should work together to find a way out. Our feuds can wait.” Gu Xijiu took another look at the harsh sun and suggested, ”Two brains are better than one, right?”

She had a point. ”You are right. Killing you here would be meaningless if I cannot make it out in the end. I might die of boredom from having no one around,” Fan Qianshi agreed.

He then reached out to her and said, ”If we are going to work together, you need to show your sincerity.”

”What do you mean, exactly?”

”Do you still have your favorite sour plum wine? I shall have two bottles.”

Dumbstruck, Gu Xijiu did not expect that wine was all that he would ask for.
