Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Long Siye stepped forward, and his fingers suddenly wiped the scale off her forehead. Gu Xijiu involuntarily moved her head away, and his fingertips had touched her eyebrows. Everything happened very promptly, and Gu Xijiu was not aware of the numbness of her feet. Since her body was still weak, she almost fell backward!
Long Siye subconsciously stretched his sleeves and caught her in his embrace. A warm and soft body was in his arms, and Long Siye’s heart suddenly swayed. On the other hand, Gu Xijiu was still stunned. She asked, “What’s wrong?”
Long Siye stuttered, “You… you have a fish scale on your forehead… I… I wanted to wipe it off for you.”
Gu Xijiu was speechless. “Do you have fish scales on your hand too? Wouldn’t that just make it worse?”
When she about to support herself up again, there was a light sound heard from not far away. It seemed like someone had stepped on a few branches with brute force.
Gu Xijiu and Long Siye turned their heads and saw a person standing at the big tree in the distance. He was in a purple robe and looked like a purple orchid tree from afar. This person wore a b.u.t.terfly mask on his face, and it shone under the sunlight.
It was Di Fuyi! He actually came back so soon! Beside him was a beast with white wings; it looked like a hybrid between a horse and a lion. It had the mane of a white lion and a tail with a flame-shaped tip at the end. There was a pair of horns on its head, and it had a pair of deep blue eyes looking down as if it could see through everything.
Di Fuyi stared at the two people who were still holding each other. “What are both of you doing?” His aura was powerful. Long Siye was nervous and felt inexplicably guilty. He put Gu Xijiu down and explained. “Xijiu could eat meat today, so I was fishing and got her to grill the fish.” After explaining himself, he felt a bit strange. Why would he have to explain himself to this boy?
Di Fuyi took a leap and landed near to the two. He looked at the pot, seasoning, and the bonfire on the ground, and then looked at Gu Xijiu. “Seems like you are recovering well; you even have the energy to have a wild party over here.” He looked at her as if he was smiling, but there was no smile in his eyes. Apparently, the scene in front of him made him very uncomfortable.
When she saw him, she was inexplicably relieved and happy in her heart. However, when she saw his current expression… Why would she have the feeling that he was a husband who caught his derailed wife red-handed?
Gu Xijiu remembered the words he said to her when he was healing her… It seemed like really treated her as his fiancé… She frowned slightly and wanted to say something, but she noticed that Di Fuyi looked very pale. He was supposed to only come back after five or six days, but he returned in about half the time. Apparently, he pushed his speed to the extreme, and he did not rest at all.
She was very touched, so she did not care much about his strange tone. She stood up and waved at him. “Fuyi, come down. Do you want to eat fish?”
Di Fuyi’s expression changed a little; he looked less serious. He jumped down and said, “Yes, I am starving!”
Not sure if it was intentional or not, but he sat right in between Gu Xijiu and Long Siye, which made Long Siye have to move back a little. Long Siye frowned, but before he could say anything, Di Fuyi’s gaze fell on him. “General Long, since you are so interested in cooking today, please do something for me.”
