885 Did He Get Addicted? (1/2)

Di Fuyi had not used this power in front of anyone before. Hence, the little girl probably did not recognize it. His identity should still be intact.

Gu Xijiu took a breath and struggled out from his embrace again. She looked out of the cave and asked, ”Why is the lightning targeting me?”

Di Fuyi guessed, ”Probably because you ate the Blue Phoenix?”

Gu Xijiu was annoyed, ”But you’re the one who grilled it, the lightning should strike you instead!”

Di Fuyi sighed, ”The lightning is probably afraid of me. Although I'm the one who grilled the bird, you're the one who ate an essential part of it. If the heavens were to punish someone, I'm the murderer, and you're the accessory offender…”

Gu Xijiu twitched her mouth, ”I just ate a pair of wings, and I didn’t do it intentionally. It’s not fair though! There’s a saying that one is not considered guilty if she didn't know the truth behind the crime…”

”You also ate a pair of thighs.” Di Fuyi reminded her.

”Did I…?” She immediately stopped when she saw the bones left behind. It seems that she carelessly grabbed the thighs and chewed them while she was listening to Di Fuyi.

”Hmm... I guess I need to be punished for eating the wings and thighs of the Blue Phoenix…”

Would Gu Xijiu need to face her biggest fear and be struck by lightning in the future?

”Don’t worry, this is the last time. No more.” Di Fuyi comforted her.

Gu Xijiu looked at him suspiciously, ”How could you say so? You seem to know the outcome of this matter all too well. You must have known we would be struck by lightning before this, didn't you?”

Di Fuyi sighed, ”You’re right. Are you touched? I took the risk to catch the bird just to satisfy your tongue…”

Gu Xijiu remained silent for a second and continued, ”Just to satisfy my tongue?”

Di Fuyi nodded, ”Don’t you think the bird's meat is unparalleled?”

Gu Xijiu raised her head and looked at him, ”Could you tell me honestly... How many times have you been struck by lightning because of this?”
