The two of them returned to the place where Gu Xijiu had broken up with Di Fuyi. Once they arrived, Yun Yanli released the blood b.u.t.terfly in hopes of finding Di Fuyi. To their dismay, the blood b.u.t.terfly danced around a circle and fell back to Yun Yanli’s palm.
Gu Xijiu looked at him curiously. “How?”
Yun Yanli slowly shook his head. “The blood b.u.t.terfly cannot sense his breath. He is not here. Xijiu, let’s try another place.”
Gu Xijiu looked disappointed. She stared at the blood b.u.t.terfly and contemplated. “He was definitely here last night. Can’t your blood b.u.t.terfly follow his tracks to find him?”
Yun Yanli shook his head. “The blood b.u.t.terfly can only sense if the targeted person is within a hundred-mile radius.”
Gu Xijiu paused for a moment, and then silently went to look for clues. The torrential rain last night had washed away any tracks on the ground. Furthermore, there were always beasts in this place. Hence, it was not easy to find the trail of a person.
Yun Yanli looked at Gu Xijiu from afar. She seemed to be very detailed and thorough when she was examining the place. While staring at her, he had just realized that she was still wearing the same clothes she wore the day before. There were bloodstains on her attire, and there was a hole in the sleeve.
Having known her for many years in the Upper Bound while visiting friends and battling with monsters, he knew her temperament quite well. Although she was not obsessed with cleanliness, she always kept herself neat and tidy. She would not usually wear the same clothes overnight. What’s more, this set of clothes was quite filthy! Yun Yanli speculated that she must have fallen deeply for Di Fuyi for her to have put aside all concern for herself in order to find him.
Even though Yun Yanli was with her for more than 100 years, he could not change her feelings for him. She always treated him as a friend. He thought that no other man could make her fall in love again. He never expected Di Fuyi to win her heart in the Shura World.
On top of that, he also did not expect Di Fuyi to be such a jerk! How could he have pretended to be her fiancé to earn her trust and also get her body? It was despicable! It was totally unacceptable!
Unfortunately for him, such an excellent opportunity had been grabbed by Di Fuyi! If he had found her first, he might have won her heart here too. G.o.d was unfair to him! Yun Yanli secretly clenched his fist in regret. His eyes then fell on Gu Xijiu again.
Although she had no memory and had lost a lot of her abilities, her character had not changed much. She was still so beautiful that he could not keep his eyes off her. He did not know when he started to fall in love with her. Perhaps, it started not too long after they got to know each other. He had certainly fallen head over heels for her.
At that time, he certainly felt inferior to her. She did not care about status or power, unlike the common women around him. Moreover, she already had someone in her heart, so Yan Yanli just kept his feelings to himself to prevent the situation from becoming awkward. He planned to build the relationship between them slowly and hope that when she slowly discovered his strengths, that she would let go of the person in her heart, and accompany him to become his wife.
He used to be confident that if he had enough time with her that he would eventually win her heart. After all, he was a prince in the Upper Bound, so his ident.i.ty would be favorable to him. He also knew some secrets that ordinary immortals did not understand.
