Chapter 2430: The Purple Cloud Mushroom (3)
Di Fuyi sighed. "I do not want you to be worried." As a proud man, he did not want to be exposed in his moment of weakness in front of his woman. Moreover, he knew he could handle the injury. All he needed was time.
Although he was not even ten years old yet, he was physically and mentally an adult. He wanted to be a man that she could count on. A man should do everything he can to keep his woman away from trouble. On top of those reasons, he definitely did not want Gu Xijiu to see him as a child. Therefore, he needed to show her his best self.
His character was somewhat different from Celestial Master Zuo’s from the past. After all, Celestial Master Zuo had lived long enough to understand the realities of life. He did not care about anything at all, so he would do anything as he pleased. The teenage Di Fuyi was still different and cared about how Gu Xijiu perceived him.
Gu Xijiu looked at him intensely and said, "There is no need for you to act so strong in front of me. I will not laugh at you." She started to try to treat the wound.
Di Fuyi found her words somewhat familiar to him. It was like deja vu. Curious, he started to make some mental calculations. Huang Tu must have been more than 10,000 years old before he was immortalized, and Gu Xijiu was only about 200 years old now. Deducting her years in heaven, they must have met when she was only a teenager.
A man that old must have found Gu Xijiu to be only a child at that age. Di Fuyi knew how much he cared for Gu Xijiu in his previous life. A woman like her, who was both strong and independent, would not ask for his help so easily, so he must have told her the same thing many times before. Their situations now were the opposite of how they were before.
