Chapter 2306: Breakout (7)
"Brother, do you think her action is considered a theft? The Xie Zhi [1] should belong to me, right?" Princess Yuanyuan looked at Di Fuyi with a pitiful gaze. She would have tugged the edge of his sleeve if she could.
Di Fuyi took a glimpse at Gu Xijiu and noticed that she was standing still. It was evident that she refused to compromise. The odds were not in her favor at this moment since she picked a fight with the princess of the Devil Kingdom. Since Gu Xijiu was just a foreign ordinary person in the Devil Kingdom, why would the people speak for her?
Was she insane to continue? Perhaps, she thought that Di Fuyi would speak for her because of their relationship in the past? Furthermore, he was the Devil King, so anything he said would be followed.
Di Fuyi took another glance at her, but she did not look back at him. She probably only looked at him once since he arrived. It seemed that she did not intend to ask for his help this time. He was somewhat upset by this and responded icily, "Since the animal was sold, it should belong to the buyer."
Yuanyuan’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Gu Xijiu arrogantly. Finally, Gu Xijiu raised her head and stared at Di Fuyi. Her lips were slightly curved upward as if she was going to say something sarcastic. It also made it look like she knew that he would side with her and was simply waiting for the confirmation.
Her facial expression made Di Fuyi uneasy; he clenched his fists inside his sleeves. Meanwhile, Yuanyuan quickly took the opportunity to add to Gu Xijiu’s misery. "Did you hear that? Our king is always fair! So what do you have to say for yourself? Give me back the little Xie Zhi! We shall then decide what punishment you should receive for breaking into my residence!" She raised her hand to instruct the guards to catch the Xie Zhi.
The little Xie Zhi was busily biting the Universal Net to free its little master. It got frightened as it heard Princess Yuanyuan’s orders and then immediately ran toward Gu Xijiu and hid behind her.
Gu Xijiu lowered her head in disappointment, but she was certainly not surprised that he would side with Princess Yuanyuan. After all, she was his savior, his god-sister, and his lover. Nevertheless, she could not deny that it hurt. The bigger her hope, the larger the disappointment.
