Chapter 2264: The Only Person She Could Rely On Was Herself
Di Fuyi was nowhere near to being a match to Yun Yanli. Perhaps, he thought it was best for him to avoid the fight. But where would he go into hiding, then?
All nine cities in the Shura World belonged to Yun Yanli. No matter where he chose to hide, his whereabouts would still be exposed, sooner or later.
The only place that Yun Yanli feared was the Shura Devil Kingdom. He was probably not hiding in that place. So how could he go into hiding without leaving any trace behind? How could he leave her behind to survive on her own? Wasn’t he worried that Yun Yanli might take advantage of her? Wasn’t he concerned that Yun Yanli might take his spot beside her?
As the thought crossed her mind, she quickly stopped herself from overthinking. After all, she was not actually his wife. Gu Xijiu silenced her illogical inner voice. Then, she turned and asked the Firmament Stone something more important. "Little Cang, do you know anything about the Shura Devil Kingdom?"
"Master, I... I am not well-informed," the Firmament Stone argued weakly. The only setting that it was most familiar with was the Tianci Continent, which was the same as the Saha World where Gu Xijiu became the Lord. In the Shura World, it only knew as much as she did.
Gu Xijiu pursed her lips into a tight line. The only person she could rely on was herself. She was taught to be independent. So now she had to keep pushing forward using her own strength. The Firmament Stone was able to foresee her next move. "Master, are we venturing into the Shura Devil Kingdom?" It promptly suggested.
Gu Xijiu dismissed its thought, "No, the theft of the spiritual stones has greatly weakened their operations. Yun Yanli must be very desperate now. He will definitely think that it is a plot from the people of the Devil Kingdom, so his men will definitely secure the entrance. If we go, we will walk right into his trap."
