1769 Punishment 4 (1/2)

Of course, Di Fuyi did not forget to set a barrier around the bamboo shed that was more powerful than the one that Long Moyan had set before. Long Moyan would have a hard time breaking past the barrier even if his severely incapacitated external abilities recover to its full strength.

He had imprisoned Gu Xijiu with a barrier before, so now he will get a taste of his own medicine. The barrier that he had incarcerated Gu Xijiu with had an effective period of forty years, but the one that Di Fuyi set could last for a thousand years.

In other words, he will be confined for at least a thousand years. He wallowed in remorse and despair, but he could do nothing about it and only silently wait for the period to past.

…

After settling the matter with Long Moyan, Di Fuyi sheathed his sword and looked to his loved one beside him. ”Xijiu…”

He did not know how to face her at that moment as she had shown indifference to him before the incident. What was worse was that he had not much time left to live… Looking at her figure standing beside him, an unknown plethora of emotions simmered in his chest. He wanted to hold her tightly in his embrace, but something was holding him back.

Gu Xijiu looked up at him for a while and pouted her lips. ”Di Fuyi, aren't you going to hug me?” There was a trace of grievance in her voice. She thought that the first thing that he would do was to hug her! To her surprise, he only stood and looked at her like an idiot.

Di Fuyi tried to hide his misery from his face. ”Xijiu, I… I won't be able to give you an eternity anymore...” He would not be able to stay by her side for long and would have to leave her by herself soon. He did not know what he should do given the current circumstances.

Although he wanted to love her for the remainder of his life and not leave this world with any regrets, it would be a selfish act that would be too harmful to her…

Gu Xijiu understood his worries. Still, she could not help but feel wronged. She pursed her lips and asked, ”Di Fuyi, since you know that you won't live for long, why did you come to me in the first place? I had not fallen for you the first time we met…”

Di Fuyi felt a sting in his heart. ”I'm sorry. It's my fault.”
