1339 The Truth 4 (1/2)

Di Fuyi sighed. ”That was only their perception. Why would I give your body to someone else? The mermaid family is one of the best places to safe keep the body. Not only will the place prevent the body from rotting, but it is also able to give the body an eternal life by enhancing its spiritual power while it is kept in hibernation mode.”

Gu Xijiu remained silent.

She was startled for a moment. ”Since you are not planning to give my body to the former empress, why won't you let me return to that body? You should know that I like being inside a real human body…”

Di Fuyi closed his eyes slightly. ”It is a confidential matter. I am afraid that I am not at liberty to share it with you. However, I can guarantee you that the body will always be yours and no one else's. It's only a matter of time before you get your body back, but for now…”

Gu Xijiu was speechless. She never expected him to deny everything.

She took a deep breath. ”You said that the former empress was not your fiancé, but her sister has been referring to you as her brother in law, and you have never denied…”

Di Fuyi sighed. ”It… It's my fault. Calling me by that title has been one of her habits since a thousand years ago.”

Gu Xijiu looked at him. ”You mean, you used to be her brother-in-law-to-be? Otherwise, she would not be referring to you this way. Correct?”

Di Fuyi thought for a moment and sighed. The story between Lan Jingke and I happened a very long time ago. Since she had passed away, I wanted to pay my respects to her. Therefore, I did not speak about our past. However, since you have misunderstood us, I think that I should explain it to you now.”

Gu Xijiu's heartbeat became slightly faster. She looked at him. ”I am not forcing you to tell me anything. I merely wanted to confirm the relationship between you and her…”

”Would you believe me if I told you that she was just my friend and all this is just a big misunderstanding?”
