1647 Physical Transcendence And Rebirth 6 (1/2)

A bit different?

Ha!

Does he think she cares?

The creases near Gu Xijiu's lips were drawn into deeper lines. ”Thank you! I will gladly do your bidding, but so long as you fulfill my conditions.”

”You're the first one who dares to speak of conditions with me. Aren't you afraid of my wrath?”

”No, you have told me before that I'm a bit different here, haven't you?”

”Real clever! You finally know how to take things to your advantage. What conditions do you demand? Speak up.”

”Revoke Long Siye's punishment to the Distant Fire Land, and I will perform your task wonderfully,” Gu Xijiu stated her condition.

Huang Tu's eyes lit up. ”And what if I disagree?”

Gu Xijiu did not falter. ”I will still perform the task entrusted to me, but as this type of challenge is a first to me, I can't assure that I won't make any mistakes and can only do it within my abilities.”

”Are you threatening me right now?”

”No, I'm just speaking the truth. If you agree to my condition, I will perform the task as though my life depended on it.”

”Within my abilities” and ”as though my life depended on it”. These two phrases could produce a massive difference in the final result.

Huang Tu looked at her for a moment. ”I can grant him a one-day deduction from his punishment, but you are to succeed in this mission without mistake, or his punishment would be doubled!”

Although a one-day deduction from Long Siye's punishment was not what Gu Xijiu had wanted, it was not too bad either.

One must know that to spend a mere minute in the Distant Fire Land is an experience of unmitigated agony.

When Huang Tu turned his back, Gu Xijiu asked, ”My Lord has shifted a lot of tasks that were supposed to be conducted by Celestial Master Zuo to me. Do you not want that identity anymore?”
