Chapter 1246: It Was Considered As A Compensation To Her
Meanwhile, in this world, she was but a helper to train someone else’s body. Perhaps Di Fuyi had only given her special treatment because of the empress of the mermaids. Anyhow, it seemed like she was always the substitute for someone else!
She lightly patted her cheek and wondered how she ended up with a similar fate.
...
After she had calmed herself down by sitting under the chilling weather for about half an hour, she stood up and teleported to the ice house. It was there that she found something new in front of the ice house as compared to a few days ago.
Four ice statues now surrounded the ice house. They were the Green Dragon, White Tiger, Red Sparrow and Black Tortoise. The four ice statues worked as the gatekeepers and stood around the crystal coffin forming an enchanted formation.
Her original body was lying quietly inside the crystal coffin. Her face looked fresh, and there was a shining crystal ball inside her mouth. It must be the "Beauty Pearl" that was mentioned by the king of mermaids just now. The crystal was able to preserve the body’s life without needing the big mussel to guard it. The big mussel and the rest of them were shocked by Gu Xijiu’s presence as she had arrived using her teleportation technique. It took them some time to realize that it was Gu Xijiu. The three beasts ran towards her and shouted, "Master!"
"Master, why are you here? I thought that you were supposed to be separated from Celestial Master Zuo for two weeks since you were going to marry him. Weren’t you only allowed to meet on the actual wedding day? Why are you here so suddenly? Do you miss him or us?" The big mussel bombarded her with questions.
Gu Xijiu patted its head and replied, "I am here to visit all of you."
