The Wisdom Fruit was the exact ingredient needed to change one's body . According to Long Siye's estimations, the Wisdom Fruit should take one month to ripen, but it somehow matured in half a month .
Maybe the heavens want her to abandon her current body and return it promptly to cut all relations with Di Fuyi as soon as possible .
Gu Xijiu took a light breath . "Give me some time . I'll go over now . "
Long Siye had no idea that she would be that agitated . After pausing momentarily, he said, "You can take some time to think about it . Perhaps come over after the Spring Lantern Festival?"
"There's no need to think about anything," she interjected . "I'll come over right now . "
Since it is only a matter of time before she dies, Gu Xijiu wants to free herself from this mess .
She raised her head and looked to the sky . The setting sun had already sunk below the horizon with roseate clouds scattered across the skyline .
She hung up the directed audio spell . After bidding farewell to Long Moyan, she did not go back to the Gu residence but instead summoned the Wind Caller and went straight to Tianwen Mountain .
Long Siye had said that the best time to change one's body is at midnight . If nothing goes awry, she will become a brand new self tomorrow!
…
Gu Xijiu did not use any warp spells to travel because she still had ample time and wanted to accustom herself to life with a level eight spiritual power .
The space-warping spell requires a spiritual power of at least level ten . Once she changes her body, she will not be able to use it anymore .
The Wind Caller glided along the air as Gu Xijiu sat inside the carriage and beheld the scenery outside through the curtains .
As she did not set a barrier to resist the wind, the currents grazed her face like a drizzle of blades .
The mussel and Lu Wu did not know what she had in her mind . Lu Wu took on the form of a child and slept along the wall of the carriage while the mussel shrunk itself into the size of a plate and opened its shell near Gu Xijiu's feet to converse with her .
"Master, you've been running errands in the Tianwen clan quite a lot recently . Have you taken a liking to Long Siye?" The mussel was quite snoopy .
Gu Xijiu tapped on its shell . "Don't talk nonsense . He and I are only friends . " And they will only be friends .
Some things in fate when missed will be missed forever and have no chance of recurring again . It is no different with love as well .
She knows her feelings toward Long Siye . She can treat him as a friend until death and risk her life for him, but she is unable to love him ever again .
Long Siye deserves someone better; someone who can love him wholeheartedly and has not gone through a lot of vicissitudes like her .
She might marry someone in the future, maybe because of love, maybe because of a sense of obligation, but neither reason would lead her to Long Siye .
"Mussel, if my spiritual power drops in the future, will you still treat me as your master?" Gu Xijiu asked in a casual manner .
The mussel became surprised . "Master, once one's spiritual power rises, it would not drop . A person's spiritual power can only be depleted, but with adequate training, it will be restored . "
"I said 'if'"
The mussel raised its shell . "Master, no matter what happens you'll always be my master! Even if your spiritual power drops to abysmal levels!"
Gu Xijiu felt gratified . She knew that even though the mussel was a glutton, it would not betray her .
She took a look at Lu Wu . Lu Wu was taking a nap, but it heard their conversation . It opened its eyes and said to her, "You'll always be my master! I'll never treat you otherwise!"
Gu Xijiu had told it all about a modern drama before . It took a special liking to stories involving special agents and had memorized the lines therein .
Gu Xijiu felt a slight warmth in her heart and patted Lu Wu . Lu Wu returned to its original form and wagged its nine tails as it took a step back . "Master, please don't touch me anymore . "
The bracelet that Celestial Master Zuo had put on it had retained its perverse function .
