3023 Meeting 2 (2/2)
When Di Fuyi realized what she was about to do, he unexpectedly covered her eyes. ”Don't look!”
Gu Xijiu was speechless. If anything, he should be the one who should not look at her, right?
Gu Xijiu had once heard a story of a concubine that did not want her emperor to see her when she was ill as she was afraid that the emperor would see her in an ugly state. In the end, she died without the emperor getting to see her again as she wanted the emperor only to remember her when she was beautiful.
Using this logic, Gu Xijiu should not let Di Fuyi see her at all given the condition that she was in. Otherwise, he might develop a phobia toward her and abandoned her.
”But you feel disgusted…” How ugly was she now?
Despite the crazy situation that they found themselves in, Gu Xijiu now contemplated if she would get a chance to wash away his memory sometime in the future so that he would never recall her image at this time.
”Since you know I feel disgusted, you have to recover as quickly as possible. Come on, do exactly what I say...” Di Fuyi quickly began to instruct her on how to treat her burns.
However, Gu Xijiu thought that this was not the most important thing to do right now. The black water here was able to erode any wizardry barrier and eventually absorb their spiritual power, so getting out of here should be their main objective.
Although the wizardry barrier that Di Fuyi had setup was currently stable, it would not be able to last for long. It would be consumed by the black water sooner or later and breakdown. If that were to happen, all their efforts to treat Gu Xijiu's burns would be wasted.
She took a deep breath and discussed with him, ”You... forget about my injuries; let's try to break out of here first. I am afraid that Hao Er is still in danger and is waiting for us to save. I have a spell that I am thinking about in my mind, and I think it's a solution, but I can only remember half of it. The other half is still missing. Let me tell you what I can remember and see if you know the rest.”
”No, I will treat you first. This cannot be delayed!”
Gu Xijiu was a little anxious by his reply. ”Even if I recover, it's useless if I have to fall into the black water again later...”
Di Fuyi quietly listened to her, but he did not stop his fingers from continuing to treat her injuries. After she finished speaking, he continued, ”Rest assured, I will not let you fall into the hot water again. Heal yourself first.”
”But, Hao Er…”
”Xijiu, in my heart, you are my first priority!” Di Fuyi interrupted her.
