Chapter 2293: Departure
His words were sharp enough to piss Gu Xijiu off. She tried to suppress her emotions by closing her eyes and taking a deep breath. Then, she opened them with a smile, and said, "Indeed, I have nothing to do with it, pardon me. I am sorry to bother you. I wish both of you a happy life. Goodbye!"
She could not stay any longer; hence, she teleported away. The onsen pool had returned to its natural tranquility with Di Fuyi left alone in the water. Her odor seemed to be lingering in the air; however, he knew that she would never come again.
Despite being calm about everything earlier, he felt that he had lost all his strength as he stood in the water. After a quick reflection, he decided to let the matter go as he knew that she was not interested in him. Nonetheless, it was still heartbreaking to see her leave.
Besides, she was a celestial being, so she could stay for long even if there were enough Devil Quenching Clothing and Youth Retaining Herbs for her. The only way was to transform her body, as what Yuanyuan had done.
Di Fuyi believed that Gu Xijiu would leave the Devil Kingdom very soon. Although it was relatively dangerous outside, she probably suited that place better.
...
Gu Xijiu teleported too abruptly earlier and did not plan her route well enough as she was in a hurry to leave. She crashed into a big tree and then slumped on a big rock. Although she hit her forehead, the only thing she realized was that her eyes were wet.
Her vision was getting blurry as she looked at the water on her hand. She was suddenly engulfed by a wave of sadness in her heart, but she did not want to cry as she thought that was only what weak people do; however, she could not hold it in anymore.
She lifted her head and looked at the sky. She was hoping that the tears would stop rolling down that way. Unfortunately, it did not work! The tears were like a fountain gushing out from her eyes! In the end, she covered her eyes as she buried her face within her knees.
Luckily, she was in a hidden place, so no one witnessed her embarrassing moment. She curled her body at the same spot for an hour before she finally managed to control her emotions.
