Casually, Di Fuyi added, "You want to find your friend, and I"m just helping you." The hidden meaning was "Are you not embarra.s.sed to just waste so much of my spiritual power?"Gu Xijiu was speechless.
She took the wizardry sh.e.l.l over quietly and then secretly applied a cleaning spell on it. She then blew it with water spiritual power; however, there was no response.
She looked at him. Although there was not even a tiny spot of light underground, based on their Kung Fu, they could see everything even though they were in the dark. Thus, Di Fuyi could see her clear eyes. It was big and round with very clear pupils.
Her skin was fair, and her lips were pinkish. As she stood in the water, she looked more beautiful to him than the prettiest mermaid in the world.
Di Fuyi s.h.i.+fted his gaze away and taught her the way to blow the wizardry sh.e.l.l in the water. He explained all the details while she paid complete attention to him.
When he was teaching her, their bodies were very close to each other because there were many details to be explained. They were so close to the extent that Di Fuyi could smell the light fragrance on her.
Fortunately, they did not have any physical contact because Gu Xijiu was very alert and she tried to avoid any possible contact at all cost.
Gu Xijiu also smelled his odor which she was once very familiar with. However, the smell made her feel as if someone was stabbing her wound.
She frowned and temporarily sealed her sense of smell to prevent herself from being annoyed again.
Gu Xijiu had always been a fast learner. Very soon, she mastered the technique and took charge of detecting the mermaid"s aura.
Suddenly, a question popped up in her head. "Oh by the way, since Little Fox doesn"t know Aqua Drilling, would she die during the journey? How did the mermaid manage to kidnap her?"
Di Fuyi took a glimpsed at her. "You can try to find the answer from your memories."
Gu Xijiu"s fingers were clenched. Indeed, she had part of Lan Jingke"s memories. However, she subconsciously put it away as she did not want to recall anything between Di Fuyi and her! If it were not for Little Fox, she would not ever want to use Aqua Drilling!
Di Fuyi just could not help but urge her to think about Lan Jingke"s memories. Did he think that it was not hurtful enough for her? Or did he want to turn her into Lan Jingke!?
Again, she had a cold look on her face as the annoyance crept in. "That"s not my memories! I don"t want to dig through it, just forget about it if you don"t want to answer. Just pretend I never asked!" She turned around and rapidly moved ahead.
Di Fuyi remained silent.
It seemed that she was still very sensitive. He did not think about it and triggered her wounds again.
He sighed and then made an effort to quickly catch up to her.
When he finally found her, he simply explained, "The mermaid could escape by engulfing the human in a bubble. The air in the bubble can last for about an hour."
Gu Xijiu finally understood. "So, if the mermaid didn"t want Little Fox to die, he or she would need to breathe on land in intervals."
As soon as they finished talking, the two of them had pa.s.sed seven to eight junctions, and it was more than a hundred miles from where they started. Suddenly, the water gushed up vertically when they blew the wizardry sh.e.l.l again.
Needless to ask, the mermaid had brought Little Fox up to the land! Thus, they immediately left the underground and went up to the land.
Surprisingly, it was a sea of flowers outside with many unknown flowers scattered all over the hill.
The exit from the underground was a big lake.
It was nightfall; under the moonlight, the lake looked s.h.i.+ny in the breezy night. The scene was as beautiful as an art masterpiece.
A couple of lovebirds went out for a date during the sunset and only left when the moon was up above the willow tree.
The scene was indeed beautiful. Both of them had numerous romantic experiences together since they met.
Back then, their hearts were filled with love, and she wished there was a day like this every year in her life.
However, when she saw this scene again, she felt countless thorns stuck in her heart.
