The demon was speechless.
She squinted her eyes at Gu Xijiu and smiled coldly. “It seems that you think no one can take him away from you. Are you so confident?”
“Of course.” Gu Xijiu answered very firmly!
The demon smiled leisurely as she continued, “Others may not be able to do the job, but I can! Because I used to be you, and I am much better than you right now!”
Gu Xijiu chuckled. Apparently, she did not believe it.
“Do you not believe it? Well, I will show you and let you see it with your own eyes. Perhaps, that is what it will take to shatter your spirits!”
The last message managed to catch Gu Xijiu’s attention. How did this woman in white intend to shatter her spirits?
…
It did not take long for Gu Xijiu to understand what the demon had meant.
The demon actually created a shady screen with a wave of her sleeve. The scene looked incredibly realistic with grass and trees scattered everywhere; even the brick walls were all very clear… Perhaps, one could say that it looked more realistic than an HDTV!
The area was filled with peach blossoms and appeared to be surrounded by mountains and rivers. The peach blossom trees were all over the place, and it revealed the corner of a green-roof building in it.
Nevertheless, despite the stunning details, none of them were actually very important. The most important thing was that she saw Di Fuyi! She also saw the inner demon, who was now dressed in green.
Gu Xijiu’s eyes fell on Di Fuyi, and her heart sank a little.
Di Fuyi was wearing a very special purple robe. Although this purple robe was the style he often wore, it had a star embroidered on his left shoulder.
That was Gu Xijiu’s doing!
A few years ago, when Di Fuyi took her to the clan of the mermaid family, they attended an embroidery workshop. The embroiderers there were very skillful. That day, Gu Xijiu suddenly had the interest to learn the trade, so she studied under a lady there for two days. Then, she took Di Fuyi’s clothes to practice her newly acquired skill. Initially, she wanted to knit a small flower; but later, she was inspired to put a big star on his shoulder.
She did not expect Di Fuyi to like the pair of robes so much. He wore it often when he wandered around the city. If anyone asked him about the star on his shoulder, he would always reply with great satisfaction, “It was sewed on by my wife. How does it look?”
Those people naturally complimented it and remarked on the craftiness of his wife. Di Fuyi would be very satisfied by their response, and it quickly became his favorite set of robes.
Gu Xijiu certainly did not expect to see him on the screen with this set of robes on. When he first appeared, he looked a little embarrassed and sweaty, as if he had desperately rushed to this place.
Was he… real?
Did he actually come for her!?
He looked exhausted. It seemed like Flying Serpent must have informed him when it noticed something was not right.
Gu Xijiu had not seen him for almost a month. Seeing him warmed her heart, and she subconsciously wanted to approach him.
But just when she took a step forward, the demon waved her sleeve, and a black golden light flashed. From then on, Gu Xijiu could not move.
The demon put one hand on her shoulder and said, “Don’t worry; you can watch the show.”
Gu Xijiu bit her lip as she was curious to see what would happen.
She glanced at the demon and then looked back at the woman dressed in green in the scene. “Who is that?”
“An avatar that I have created.” The woman in white smiled; her tone was smug.
Gu Xijiu looked at the green dressed woman in the scene and the way she interacted with Di Fuyi. She was very expressive and seemed to emulate Gu Xijiu’s movements perfectly. It would definitely be difficult to differentiate her from the real person.
As she watched on, she realized that the woman actually knew some of the things between them. For example, she knew how long Gu Xijiu and Di Fuyi had been apart, which was something that Gu Xijiu had not revealed to anyone.
Gu Xijiu stared at the woman in white and asked, “How did she know about the things between Fuyi and me?!”
