1642 Physical Transcendence And Rebirth (1/2)

There was a time when Gu Xijiu stood by Di Fuyi, thinking that they could be on equal ground some day. She tried her very best to be his match, but now she realized it was all her illusion.

He only treated her differently because she had parts of Lan Jingke's soul. Once the identity no longer existed, she would be nothing more than a myriad of ordinary beings.

Her memory unavoidably reverted to former times with a sort of oppressive sadness, but she managed with a smile. ”I have never thought so.”

He regarded her as a total stranger, so why would he give her another way out?

Even under the pressure of his tremendous presence, she tried all she could to stand up straight and look Di Fuyi in the eye. ”I said it once, and I will say it again. If you want to punish him, you have to punish me first. I am willing to take all the punishment on his behalf.”

”Xijiu, you cannot do that!” Long Siye's expression completely changed.

He had got a taste of how the suffering in the Distant Fire Land felt. It was too much for anyone to take. Even for a man like him, he had to suffer the burning flames in great agony. How would a delicate, ladylike Gu Xijiu handle the pain? He would rather take it all on himself.

Long Siye took a step forward. ”My Lord, the order was for me, and I went against it. Xijiu did not even know about the existence of such an order. All she wanted was a new body so she could return the original body to Celestial Master Zuo. I heard that Celestial Master Zuo wanted to use the body for a different reason, so she did not want to be indebted to him. She had no other way than to ask for my help. She bears no evil intention. No blame should be attached to the unconscious doer of wrong. My Lord, I hope you can forgive her.”

The Lord turned to look at Long Siye and asked, ”Are you trying to bargain with me?”

Long Siye dared not say anything.

”How dare you!”

Anxious, Long Siye's forehead broke out in sweat.
