1233 Shall We Find A Place To Talk? (2/2)

Gu Xijiu toyed with a teacup in her hand and did not say a word.

Di Fuyi poured a cup of tea for her and spoke, ”Try tasting this tea that was brewed with sea water.”

Was tea brewed with seawater even edible? Won't it be too salty?

Gu Xijiu looked at the cup without saying a word but did not show any intention of drinking either.

Di Fuyi sat down across from her. ”Lan Jingyi is afflicted with a strange disease. She cannot suffer any form of injury by battle and cannot have her scales peeled away as well, or she will die within a minute. Mermaids usually die without reincarnation and a soul. If she dies, she'll truly depart from this world…”

Gu Xijiu was speechless. No wonder the two people's reaction was so violent and unexpected as though they were facing a great enemy when she only lacerated the other person's throat and peeled down two pieces of scales.

Gu Xijiu took a breath before responding. ”I had no intention of killing her, or she'll already long be dead! The king of the mermaids did not know the intention behind my actions and was protective of his younger sister, so his attack on me was understandable and I wouldn't blame him for it. But you…”

Her gaze landed on Di Fuyi's face. The release of her grievances that she had stored in her heart for all this time had made her eyes warm, but her tone was as calm as usual. ”You two just assaulted me without saying a word. I feel very sad.” He should have known that she was not a reckless person.

Although he had only shattered her blade, he had hurt her hand as well, almost leading her to lash out at him. The paralyzing sensation that she felt had not entirely subsided until she sang just now, rending her heart as though it had a narrow rupture.

There was a sourness that had emerged from that wound; it was this sourness that made her reluctant to meet him at the point being.

Di Fuyi's eyes were full of penitence. ”Sorry, I did not intend to injure you. Did I hurt your hand?”

He raised his hand and went to hold her right wrist, wanting to look at her hand.
