1725 Rebirth 2 (1/2)

”Keep in mind that the heavenly laws are no child's play; the punishment has to be imposed on someone. If you give your consent, I could punish you instead, but it would surely be different…”

Di Fuyi remarked lightly, ”I am aware of that. No matter the punishment, I am willing to accept it.”

The Firmament Stone glowed in vehemence. It had never thought that The Lord would go so far to protect Gu Xijiu. Sigh, if only its master were here to see it.

A rush of thoughts came upon it. ”My Lord, you could actually request for my master to be reborn on this earth at a time which allows for both of you to meet once more…”

Di Fuyi paused for a while and replied faintly, ”Let her be reborn only to see me in my sorry state again?”

Firmament Stone was initially puzzled but responded, ”So that you will not have any regrets.”

Di Fuyi hugged Gu Xijiu and walked away. ”If it's possible, I hope that she will not remember me in her next life and forget me completely so that she may live freely in peace.”

Firmament Stone was speechless.

After faltering for a second, the Firmament Stone caught up to him and braced itself as it said, ”If she forgets about you completely, she could fall in love with someone else in the distant future. Could you live with that?”

Di Fuyi's stopped for a second. Just when the Firmament Stone thought that he would respond no further, it heard a faint and raspy voice from a distance. ”That would be great.”

”But if she is reborn with the memory of her past life and still remembers you or even knows the truth without any chance of making things right again, wouldn't she have to live with more regret?”

Di Fuyi froze in his tracks. Wouldn't she have to live with more regret? He was sure that she would!
