It then closed its shell, leaned beside Gu Xijiu and fell asleep. As for Lu Wu, since it was still a baby beast and was still felt sleepy rather easily, it slept even earlier than the big mussel.
Therefore, the important task was to keep vigil and to assign the tired and injured to the Wind Caller.
The Wind Caller was very reliable. It insisted to stay awake for the whole night. However, it was too tired and sleepy so its eyelids kept closing. While it was half asleep, it felt a cold wind and the chill in the wind.
The Wind Caller immediately jumped up and saw that there were two people opposite the river not too far away.
It was a man and a woman. Both of them were wearing the same robes. They were not walking but flew straight towards their direction!
Both of their hair was hanging down and covered their faces, therefore, it could not see their faces clearly.
The two men appeared silently and after they appeared, the air in the surroundings seemed to have suddenly thickened.
It was quite windy at the river bank but it was just a normal wind. However, after the appearance of the two men, the wind became much more chilled and the atmosphere turned gloomy.
Although the Wind Caller was a knowledgeable beast, it had been living in the fifth peak for a long time and had seen very little humans. In such a short time, it could not differentiate the difference between these two men and the other human that it had seen before.
In its eyes, humans had always been the enemy of the beast and humans had always cooperated with each other.
Therefore, its first reaction was that these two men had come to catch it but not to harm Gu Xijiu
It turned around to look at Gu Xijiu. She was sleeping soundly so it did not want to wake her up but to only pay full attention to the two men.
It was not easy to cross the Bone Dissolving Stream. It even needed to put full effort before it could cross the river.
The reason why its owner was resting here was to let it restore back its energy so that it could cross the river the next day
The two men wandered for a while just opposite before leaping and flying towards its direction.
They seemed to have been blocked by something in the middle of the river when they were flying. However, it did not stop them as they continued to fly there. They were going to come over to the other side in just a blink of an eye!
The wind was even chiller now. The Wind Caller was cold that it was ridden with goosebumps!
Their breathing was heavy and did not look anything like a human!
Their hair speared out like water and revealed the pair of eyes. Their cold eyes stared at Gu Xijiu and their pupils turned from black to red as if they had seen their biggest arch enemy
The strong wind blew up and the two men moved like lightning and headed directly to Gu Xijiu!
The Wind Caller wailed. It did not expect that the two men were not coming to it but its owner instead!
It was shocking and when it could react, the two men's black claws were about to latch onto Gu Xijiu's head!
It was too late for the Wind Caller to rescue it, so it could only close its eyes in fear.
It was actually a beast with pride. It could not stand merely being a human's ride. It was even a bit hostile to humanity. This time it was forced to follow Gu Xijiu because its baby wanted to stick to her. Therefore, it could only bear it to be her ride.
Now, the two men headed there directly mainly because it did not have enough time to rescue anyone but also because it was not very conscientious.
It thought that if this human died, perhaps its baby would be back by its side.
Due to this mentality, the Wind Caller did not react in a timely manner. It had not regarded itself as the ride of Gu Xijiu yet!

It thought that if this human died, perhaps its baby would be back by its side.
Due to this mentality, the Wind Caller did not react in a timely manner. It had not regarded itself as the ride of Gu Xijiu yet!
They were not human but poisonous corpses!
In the modern era, Gu Xijiu had come across with the bewitched technique from South Xinjiang and even studied the technique of controlling corpses.
These two poisonous corpses looked a bit like the zombies under control by the Southern technique, but she knew that they were definitely not.
Those kinds of zombies required the controller to manipulate at near distances and used spells to control their walking. In the addition, those zombies would walk by jumping and their bodies would be very stiff.
But the two in front of her could walk freely and did not seem to be controlled by someone else. Their bodies were flexible as if they did not have bones. When they fought they could bend freely and their heads could even turn 360 degrees around
Besides, both of the corpses could coordinate well with each other. When both of them cooperated, the power was much stronger than before.
After Gu Xijiu fought with them for several rounds, she realized that she could not fight against them!
Little Lu Wu had awoken too. It was also involved in the fight. Although it had a small body, it was very capable. It kept spinning around like a lightning ball around the two corpses and used its claws to punch them.
Its little paws had the strength to crack the hard stone. When it punched the body of the two dead corpses they could hear their bones being snapped apart.
But the two corpses did not feel anything even when their bones cracked and broken; they kept attacking as usual.
Even the skull of Rong Yan that had been punched by the little Lu Wu cracked and rendered him looking completely out of shape. He did not feel a thing and the injured area was able to restore back to the original really quickly.
"Master, they are not human! Their regenerative ability is frightening! It is not a good idea to keep fighting with them. We should run!" The Firmament Stone wailed in Gu Xijius mind.
"What are they?" Gu Xijiu asked.
"I do not know! This is the first time I see it. They are neither zombies nor the living."
Gu Xijiu used its flexible body and surrounded the two corpses. She practiced the technique to control zombies and even the spell to handle a zombie before, so she used everything that she knew to try on the two corpses, but alas, it did not have any effect on them.
Who actually transformed them into this form to attack her?
Under such an intense fight, Gu Xijiu could not conduct a proper analysis.
Of course, it was not a good idea to keep fighting. Some more she did not have anyone to help her, so the only way was to escape!
Gu Xijiu made a decision. She whistled to call little Lu Wu back and carried the big mussel with her. She immediately teleported across the river and landed directly in the forest in the opposite direction.
However, after crossing the river, she realised something was amiss. She missed out the Wind Caller and it did not tag along!
The Firmament Stone quickly said, "Master, their target is you. They will not hurt the Wind Caller. Hurry up! Lets run quickly!"
Gu Xijiu did not care for it. She looked at the other side and saw that the corpse kept turning in circles after their target was missing. Perhaps the Wind Caller had the smell of Gu Xijiu so the two corpses immediately changed their target to the Wind Caller directly headed towards it!
The Wind Caller was scared that all his goosebumps appeared!
These two corpses were too furious and it was really scared of them. It was supposed to be its animal instinct to run away from the enemy. However, this time it stayed on because it was worried about its baby, so it never left. When Gu Xijiu was fighting with the two corpses, it was watching at the sides.
When Gu Xijiu teleported and ran, it all happened in just a blink of an eye. It still could not react to it, but the two corpses had already surrounded it!
When it wanted to run away, it was already too late.
It could only fight hard. It still had some ability to fight or else it would not be able to put up a decent fight with Dao Qingyang for so long.
However, the two poisonous corpses in front were too fierce. The poison issued by their claws were harmful to it too. In just a while, it experienced dizziness and its body had stiffened.
When it thought that it was going to be killed by the claws of the two poisonous corpses, a shadow appeared at lightning speed with a sword and strong spiritual power. The two corpses were scared off and took two steps back.
It was its owner!
Its owner had come to save it!
Its owner did not leave it alone, but had risked her life to come back and save it!
The closing desperate eyes of the Wind Caller had suddenly brightened up again!
"Only the brave will win in such a dangerous situation! Either we fight or we die! The Wind Caller, the spiritual beast that follows me must be brave!" Gu Xijiu's voice resounded beside it, "If you want to be alive, you must only fight to the end!"
Suddenly the Wind Caller was motivated and became energetic! It wailed and was ready to fight.
Lu Wu also opened its big eyes and stared at the two poisonous corpses while grabbing its paws tightly.
As for the big mussel, it was a doer. It immediately transformed into the size of a small house and opened its shell to attack the two poisonous corpses in an instant!
The two beasts, a big mussel, and Gu Xijiu started to attack the two poisonous corpses.
During the fight, Gu Xijiu arranged a fighting strategy according to their respective strengths.
Gu Xijiu was an expert in commanding. Everyone could play with their strength under the variants arranged by her. With such an array, the combat power had increased by several times!
The clipping attack by the big mussel was very powerful. Its two shells were invincible. The poisonous fingernails of the two corpses were as hard as stone. However, there was once where Gu Tianqings fingernails were cut off by the shell of big mussel when she tried to attack the gap between the two shells. Not only her fingernails but one of her arms were ripped off by the big mussel too
The big mussel had a grand achievement. It was proud and tried to show off to Gu Xijiu, "Master, I have broken her arm"
Before it could finish the sentence, it fainted.
It had inhaled the poison from her arm.
The big mussel was the main force of Gu Xijius team. When it fainted due to the poison, the strength of Gu Xijius team immediately weakened.
Gu Tianqing who lost an arm not only did not lose her combat power but became even more violent. She was fiercer than before and rushed towards Gu Xijiu.
The worst thing was that her broken arm could regenerate rapidly. Gu Xijiu saw that her arm was growing out again in only a short period of time
If the arm could be regenerated, did it mean the head could be reproduced if broken?
Gu Xijiu re-adjusted her strategy again and finally, she was able to cut Rong Yan's neck.
In normal circumstances, her sword could cut through iron. However, Rong Yans neck was too hard and even harder than a golden diamond. When the sword sliced the neck, dark black blood gushed out and the sword actually corroded as though it had came in contact with strong sulphuric acid
Rong Yans neck was half cut but he was even more ferocious and rushed towards Gu Xijiu crazily.
Gu Xijiu had no weapons in her hand anymore and she was attacked by the two corpses at the same time. She could not dodge on time and her shoulder was accidentally cut by Gu Tianqings nail!
It was not a serious cut but the poison on the nail was very strong. In just a second, Gu Xijius shoulder had become numb and her arm had stiffed. Rong Yan was coming to her and she could not run. She closed her eyes when she saw that Rong Yans claw was approaching near her.
She thought that she was going to perish here today.
"Xijiu!" suddenly a loud shout sounded from afar.
"Shuaaaa!" A lightning struck directly on Rong Yan's claw and stopped him from attacking.
Gu Xijiu was startled but she also took this opportunity to teleport.
After all, she was poisoned and her body was had seriously stiffened. Even if she could teleport she could not go too far - only a few meters. When she appeared again, she staggered and almost fell to the ground.
"Xijiu!" A person came right at her and caught her.
It was that familiar herbal scent, that familiar voice, and that familiar face.
Gu Xijiu completely stiffened.
It was Long Siye!
He held her in his strong and warm arms.
Gu Xijiu suddenly struggled vigorously, "Let me go...!"
The poison was too strong to the point that her tongue was numb.
"Dont move! You are poisoned!" Long Siye put a pill into her mouth, "Swallow it!"
Gu Xijiu was not willing to eat his medicine. In her heart, this man was worse than the poisonous corpse. He came to take advantage of her!
If she died under the claws of the poisonous corpses, at least her soul was intact and she could still reincarnate. However, if she died in the hands of Long Siye, she might not have her soul intact anymore.
She immediately spat out the pill in her mouth.
"Pop!" The pill popped out and rolled onto the ground, hitting the big mussel beside her.
The big mussel was poisoned too and was shaking its shell at the side. It seemed to smell the pill and immediately opened its shell. The pale little baby inside the shell immediately swallowed it.
Everything happened very quickly, in just a few seconds. Long Siye did not expect that she would spit out the pill and that it would be eaten by the big mussel. He was stunned for a moment.
As Gu Xijiu noticed that the big mussel was eating the pill, she quickly rolled over in attempts to stop it, "It is poisonous! Spit it out!"
Long Siyes face was pale. He held her back while his eyes expressed sadness. He laughed and put another pill into her mouth again. This time in order to stop her from spitting out the pill, he stroked her throat so that the pill could go into her stomach, "Gu Xijiu, if you spit it out again, I will kiss you until the pill melts in your stomach!" He suddenly got close to Gu Xijius face and his lips were just next to Gu Xijius lips. It was a very dangerous distance indeed.
At first, Long Siye just wanted to scare her, but when he got really close to her face and saw her beautiful lips, he was so tempted to kiss her
However, Gu Xijiu's expression changed and turned her face to the side. In her eyes, it was brimming with obvious disgust and anger.
Long Siye was stunned when he saw her expression.
"Wooo! Woo!" Lu Wu wailed.
During the fight, the Wind Caller was down due to the poison and there was only Lu Wu and the two poisonous corpses standing.
No matter how strong little Lu Wu was, it could not fight against the two poisonous corpses that could not be killed.
Although it was a level eight spiritual beast, it was just a newborn and did not have much combat experience. Even when Gu Xijiu had used up all her strength and tactics to fight, she could not deal with them too, let alone little Lu Wu.
When little Lu Wu was almost killed by them, it anxiously whined!
Although Gu Xijiu was anxious, she could not do anything as her body was completely stiffed due to the poison.
Long Siye held her hand and used his spiritual power to melt the pill in Gu Xijius stomach. He only released her when the pill had fully melted and she was not able to spit it out again.
He put her on a soft soil stage and briefly said, "Sit here and recover, I will go and deal with them!"
He stood up and joined the fight.
Long Siye had a level nine spiritual power so it was totally different when he joined the battlefield.
Gu Xijiu remained silent.
The medicine that was given by Long Siye was very effective. The big mussel was the one who first recovered. Its black shell that was poisoned slowly turned back to its original light pink.
In fact, when Long Siye tried to melt the pill in her stomach, she already knew that it was truly a medication that could cure the poison, so she did not spit it out again. Now, she was sitting there and leveraged on the medicine to remove the poison from her body. In just a few minutes, the poison in her body had completely vanished.
However, her body was still weak after the poison had been cured.
The big mussel rolled over to her and the baby inside the shell looked at her worriedly, "Master, are you alright?"
Gu Xijiu nodded.
Although the baby inside the big mussel looked cute, he spoke like a rude man, "Damn it. What the hell are these two things? They are so poisonous!"
Gu Xijiu did not speak but stared at the battlefield.
She had too little knowledge about this world so she was not able to distinguish between all species.
Apparently, Rong Yan and Gu Tianqing were not human now, but they were not zombies nor puppets too. They could not be killed and was always full of resentment!
She could only call them poisonous corpses at the moment.
These two things was obviously coming to her and always wanted to jump towards her. However, they were always stopped by Long Siye.
Finally, Gu Xijiu looked at Long Siye. He seemed to be injured and his face had always been pale. There were blood stains on his robe and she could not tell if they were his blood or the other beasts ones
However, even if he was injured, the two poisonous corpses could not break out from his attack range too.
After all, Long Siye had been living in this world for more than a hundred years. He was knowledgeable, and a top doctor so he was familiar with most of the poisons in this world.
However, he had never seen such a toxic corpse before and was not able to find their flaws in such a short time.
The two poisonous corpses were not afraid of fire, poison, or any spell and was not even scared of being ripped apart
Long Siye had ripped them apart several times now and purple mist had surrounded them. After that, they were able to quickly restore itself to its original state with strong combat power.
It was not a good idea to keep it going but Gu Xijiu had no other way to get rid of them at the moment.
After she recovered, she immediately went to see the Wind Caller. The Wind Caller had been poisoned until it vomited and almost died.
Gu Xijiu quickly gave it a few pills to eat but apparently, the pills were not effective.
Long Siye had been paying attention to her and threw a pill over to her.
Gu Xijiu quickly fed the Wind Caller with the pill and successfully saved it from dying.
When Gu Xijiu rescued the Wind Caller, she was near the battlefield.
Perhaps the two poisonous corpses could smell her breath, the purple mist surrounding them suddenly expanded and the combat power increased several times again.
"Master, they seem to rely on the resentment. The more resentment they have, the more powerful they are!" The Firmament Stone was able to see the clues.
"Yes, and their resentment is generated based on me." Gu Xijiu concluded even more.
Just now when she was poisoned, the resentment of the two corpses had obviously reduced and their actions were much slower. However, as she could stand up again, the resentment immediately became more powerful!
Long Siye was aware of it too, he immediately said, "Xijiu, leave quickly!"
Gu Xijiu did not say much. She picked up the big mussel and went on the Wind Caller's back. She lowered her body and whispered beside it.
The Wind Caller immediately ran towards the Bone Dissolving Stream.
As the two poisonous corpses seemed to notice that Gu Xijiu had run away, they roared loudly and wanted to rush towards her direction. However, they were stopped by Long Siye and could not go over to her.
Gu Xijiu did not look back. While the Wind Caller was running, she quickly performed her teleportation.
When she reappeared again, she was already opposite the riverbank. Then, she rode on the Wind Caller and rushed towards the jungle and finally disappeared.
Throughout the process, she did not look back again.
Long Siye was pale and her thin lips had lost its color.
He remembered that in the past, as long as they were experiencing adventures together, they would face all difficulties together. The more dangerous the situation was, the more she was unwilling to leave. Even if he instructed her, she would not leave him alone. She would rather be punished after the incident than to leave him alone. Her favorite quote at the time was, "You can either kill me or leave first!" He was angry but was unable to do anything.
The time when she was executing a task with him, as long as he did not ask her to go, she would be very understandable and always be cooperative. But now
He was absent-minded for a while and his arm was accidentally cut by the poisonous nails.
Fortunately, Long Siye had taken the antibiotic in advance, so he would not be hurt by the poisonous nail but only stiffen up for a moment.
However, this short moment almost took his life away. His head almost got hit by Gu Tianqing's claws!
He could barely avoid the attack but it had hit him on his shoulder. Gu Tianqing's sharp nails of Gu Tianqing dug into his shoulder and almost ripped off his bone!
He staggered slightly and his face became very pale as he was injured too.
He bit his teeth and took out Gu Tianqing's claws from his shoulder. However, the poison had already started working in his body so his legs were stiff until he had to kneel down on the ground.
Rong Yans eyes were red and he extended his claws to Long Siyes head.
Long Siye could smell the bloody odor approaching him so he quickly rolled away to dodge the attack and immediately played his sword to cut Rong Yans arm.
However, he was injured too heavily so the spiritual power did not play to the fullest. The sword did not cut through the arm but just on the skin. Instead, the blood spurted out from Rong Yan spattered on Long Siye's body
Rong Yan's eyes were red. The arm that was not cut was trying to catch Long Siye's head and Long Siye had not enough energy to dodge it anymore
"Shuaaaa!" A lightning appeared and blocked Long Siye. Rong Yans black nails dug into the lightning and a sharp sound ensued.
Long Siye was already half-dazed. When he saw the lightning, he was suddenly awaken and he turned his head back. He saw that Gu Xijiu had teleported back and the lightning came from her sword.
"Xijiu!" He cried and exclaimed with mixed feelings.
Gu Xijiu did not look at him but flashed and disappeared.
These two poisonous corpses were coming to her so when she was back, they shifted their target to her again.
Long Siye was now temporarily safe. He woke up and sat on the ground. He immediately took an antidote and after a while, the poison in his body was soon cured
He quickly jumped up and joined the fight again.
They had been very well coordinated in the past when he cooperated with Gu Xijiu in battle. However, they were using a modern weapon back in the day, but now they were using spiritual powers instead.
The method that Gu Xijiu used had come from the books given by The Lord, whilst the method that Long Siye used was the heaven's gift.
Gu Xijiu had the fire and wind element in her spiritual power, with the latter being the main element.
On the other hand, Long Siye had the wood and fire element in his spiritual power, with the former as the main. However, the fire element in him was not weak too.
This was the first time both of them teamed up to fight against the enemy. At first, they were still not well-coordinated. However, as time passed, both of them developed a basic understanding of each other's tactics. Therefore, subconsciously, they started to play around with their power by coordinating with each other.
Long Siye switched his spiritual power to fire as the main element naturally and Gu Xijiu would use her wind power to expedite the fire. It immediately made the power of the fire intensify by several times.
The fire ignited by Long Siye was not an ordinary fire, but one started by spiritual power. When it was intensified by Gu Xijiu's wind power, the fire became a very powerful spiritual fire.
The two poisonous corpses were not afraid of ordinary fire, only this spiritual fire. They were unable to get close to Gu Xijiu when blocked by the fire.
Gu Xijiu and Long Siye could finally relax for a bit.
"Why do you come back?" Long Siye could not help but ask Gu Xijiu during the fight.
Gu Xijiu did not answer him. She immediately said, "Look at my hand gestures and ignite another Fire Phoenix Tactic " Gu Xijiu quickly assigned a tactic to combat.
"Okay!" Long Siye nodded.
Both of them crossed each other and Gu Xijiu feigned falling down to the ground. The two poisonous corpses immediately rushed to her!
Gu Xijiu gestured to Long Siye and he quickly released the Fire Phoenix Tactic. When the fire was ignited, Gu Xijiu shot a bloody spell into the fire and immediately cast a Wind Cracker Tactic !
The fire spread too far with the help of the wind. In the fire, there was a golden spell shining and had trapped the two poisonous corpses inside it.
Finally, the two corpses released a harsh scream.
The big mussel that was watching at the side was too excited and shouted, "Master, it is working! This is good!"
The two poisonous corpses inside were burnt from their arms to their legs. They were struggling, but could not escape from the blaze.
...
After 15 minutes, finally, the fire slowly subsided. The two poisonous corpses had melted, with not a single trance of remnant in the fire.
Long Siye sat on the ground and was drenched in sweat. His face was terribly pale.
The Fire Phoenix Tactic consumed a lot of his spiritual power but fortunately, the poisonous corpses had been killed and the crisis was finally over.
Gu Xiju also sat on some pebbles to rest. She consumed a lot of energy to cast the Wind Cracker Tactic to the fullest. Now, she was exhausted and weak. After the crisis was over and done with, she could not even lift her finger up.
On the other hand, the big mussel seemed to be very energetic. It was very exciting, "Master, this person is the perfect match for you. If there happened to be even the slightest mistake during the coordination, the two corpses would never be trapped in the fire. I have never seen such a perfect match before"
The big mussel had eaten a lot of people when it was at the fifth peak. All the victims it ate were masters in martial art and most of them came in a gang of friends. However, when those people cooperated to fight they were not well-coordinated. The big mussel was an expert in this area thus it could easily tell if it was an efficient cooperation.
It did not filter its words when it spoke. So Long Siyes eyes slightly lit up and looked at Gu Xijiu.
However, Gu Xijiu was now closing her eyes, deep in meditation as though she did not hear the words of the big mussel.
Long Siye was a bit disappointed. He took out a pill from his robe and handed it to her, "Xijiu, eat this and your spiritual power will be replenished faster."
Gu Xijiu did not accept it. She did not even open her eyes.
Long Siye felt a bit awkward. He withdrew his hand and when he turned around he saw the baby inside the big mussel eyeing him.
Long Siye felt a bit awkward. He withdrew his hand and when he turned aroun,d he saw the baby inside the big mussel eyeing him. To be exact, he was eyeing the pill in his hand and looked desperate.
Long Siye handed the pill to him, "I'll give it to you then."
The big mussel did not think much and immediately reached out to take the pill. When it was about to put it into its mouth, a green light flashed and the pill fell onto the ground.
The big mussel was surprised. It looked at Gu Xijiu, "Master!"
Long Siyes face slightly changed, but also looked at Gu Xijiu, "Xijiu, you still dont believe me?"
Gu Xijiu finally looked at him. She was straight to the point, "Overlord Long, I don't know what your purpose of coming here is and I have no interest to know. However, I will not believe you anymore. I will not believe you no matter what you say. That's all for today, please take care of yourself."
She stood up and picked up the big mussel, turned and wanted to leave.
"Xijiu, what can I do to make you believe in me?" Long Siye could not help but probed further.
Gu Xijiu paused for a while. She did not answer but immediately teleported and left.
Only Long Siye was left at the big river bank. When the wind blew, his robe fluttered around. He stared at the spot where Gu Xijiu left and clenched his fingers.
It was so easy to lose someone's trust, but it so difficult to gain it back again
Xijiu, dont you want me anymore?
He stood there and was stunned for a moment. Suddenly he thought of something and quickly rushed to the other side.
It was no surprise that he was blocked by the wizardry barrier when he rushed over to the middle of the river, as he could no longer step forward.
He hovered in the air and touched the barrier. He could vaguely feel the spiritual power surging in it. It was the wizardry barrier established by Celestial Master Zuo. There was no living object that could pass through the barrier unless someone used the great effort to get rid of it. However, it would immediately alert Celestial Master Zuo.
There should be no one who could pass through the barrier, but Gu Xijiu was able to, without any effort!
She did not even feel the existence of the barrier, and brought her spiritual beasts together with her
What was going on?
...
Gu Xijiu found the Wind Caller in the forest and sat on it. She patted its horn and it could understand her orders. It ran down the hill according to her guidance.
Although there were a lot of ferocious beasts in the third peak, she had the Wind Caller and a level five spiritual beast with her, and coupled with the light shining out by the level eight spiritual beast Lu Wu, no other beasts would dare to approach them.
Therefore, it had been a smooth journey for her to go down the hill. In just a day, she had already ran to the first peak and would be able to get out of the Dark Forest after passing through a small hill.
She found a hillside and stopped for a rest.
The battle had spent almost all of her energy. She had to rest and restore her it before she went out of the Dark Forest.
If she did not guess wrongly, there would be another imminent hard fight when she gets out of the Dark Forest. There were a lot of people who wanted her to be dead so they should be hiding outside waiting for her.
She ate a few slices of dried meat and drank a few mouthfuls of water. When she was preparing to meditate, the big mussel inside the storage bag shouted, "Master, it is too warm inside the bag. Let me out to get some fresh air."
Gu Xijiu then let the big mussel out. The big mussel opened its shell and revealed the baby inside.
The baby stared at Gu Xijiu with its pair of big eyes, "Master, who was the man just now? He is amazing! It was the first time I saw someone casting the fire tactic so well!"
Gu Xijiu stared at it.
Did it ask on purpose? It had transformed into Long Siye in the illusion before to confuse her and now it pretended not to know him.
The big mussel seemed to realize something, "Master, my mirage poison can make people fall into an illusion and what appears in the illusion is the weak point of the person. It could only be seen by the person who is trapped in it. Actually, I can't see it. Only when the person is trapped by their own weak point, I can take the advantage to go in and eat the person. However, I can't see what the weakness is itself."
Was it true?
Gu Xijiu was skeptical.
The big mussel went near to her, "Master, I will not lie to you. What you have seen was your sore point and something that you are interested in"
Were they all her weak points?
Did it mean was she interested to see Di Fuyi's naked body?
No, it was not the case. How could she be interested in the naked body of Di Fuyi?!
The image of Di Fuyi, as well as the words he said before, had appeared in her mind
She immediately paused her thoughts and kept the image of Di Fuyi deep inside her mind.
"Master, so who is he?" The big mussel insisted to ask.
"He is the Overlord of Tianwen clan, Long Siye."
The big mussel opened its shell, "Is he Long Siye? I have eaten a few disciples of his!"
Gu Xijiu was speechless.
The big mussel continued to say, "All of his disciples said their master would take revenge for them before they died and told me the name of their master. I have always wanted to meet this guy. I never expect that I will meet him like this today. I've always thought that he is an old man and never knew that he was so young and good looking like Celestial Master Zuo"
Gu Xijiu remained silent and let it chatter on.
"Master, is Long Siye your weak point? You seem very upset and frustrated now. I am very curious about that. He seemed to be a gentleman and he had put all his effort in to save you. In addition, you guys are very well-coordinated when you were fighting with the enemy. I think that you guys are very compatible, just like a couple. Was there any misunderstandings between you both? I think you should talk to him about that"
Gu Xijiu still remained silent.
"Master, the pill that he gave you should be a medicine to replenish your energy. He is sincere to you, without any ulterior motives."
Gu Xijiu had finally ran out of patience. She took out her sword and pointed at it, "Have you finished your words? If you dont shut up, I will cut you and turn you into soup!"
The big mussel quickly slammed its shell shut and did not dare to talk any further.
Finally, the surroundings were quiet and Gu Xijiu got to meditate properly.
Yes, she knew that the pill given by Long Siye was good for her. However, she could never trust him anymore. She needed to be alert whenever she met him.
She even had assumptions that the two poisonous corpses were probably created by him so that he could be appear to be the hero who rescued her from danger.
If she did not see that he almost died under the claws of the two poisonous corpses, she would still doubt that he was the person behind the poisonous corpses.
It seemed like Long Siye had been injured badly this time and his ability had been weakened.
However, he was still alright six months ago when she left him. During this period, Gu Xijiu heard that he was retreating in his own clan. He was supposed to have increased his spiritual power after the retreat, not have it greatly reduced.
Was he deliberately being weak in front of her? Or was he too exhausted after trying to resurrect Ye Hongfeng?
Had Ye Hongfeng come back to life?"
