Shen Jiuli thought that maybe he should start planning for a second child."Is your bracelet still around?" Shen Jiuli asked.
"It surely is," Di Fuyi rea.s.sured by flas.h.i.+ng the bracelet before his eyes. He had tried so many ways to get rid of the bracelet before. However, his att.i.tude about the bracelet had recently changed. With care and protection, he had to make sure that the bracelet was not scratched even a little bit.
Di Fuyi even demanded to possess the bracelet from the Flying Serpent, the one that was gifted to it by Gu Xijiu. The Flying Serpent treasured its belonging very much, so it was not very happy when Di Fuyi requested for the bracelet, but it was too afraid to complain.
Shen Jiuli took a careful look at the bracelet and was satisfied, "Very well, then."
Shortly after, he handed two dishes to Di Fuyi and demanded, "Serve the dishes. Let us have a reunion dinner. Remember, you have to make your mother happy. I will only be delighted when she is pleased. In the right mood, I might have the idea for your rescue plan."
His father"s sarcasm always came in a personalized style of his own. Di Fuyi was already used to it. "Don"t you worry," he took the dishes and left swiftly.
The reunion dinner was very delightful. Di Fuyi tried many ways to make Ning Xuemo laugh by cracking every joke that he could think of. Finally, she was no longer depressed. Ning Xuemo felt that she should give her son the many toys that she had collected from different places while she was traveling. After all, the toys were meant for him. Although he looked like an adult, he was only seven years old.
Di Fuyi was not embarra.s.sed to accept the gifts. He no longer needed the toys, but his future child might like them.
…
On the Rotary Platform, Di Fuyi stood alone. Carefully, he studied the channels that circled the platform. There were many pathways, crisscrossing each other meticulously like a spider web.
He did not bring the mussel and Lu Wu along. As informed by Shen Jiuli, their level of spiritual power was not enough for them to take the risk. If they insisted, they would not make it out alive. Even worse, they could end up being burned alive by the Fire of h.e.l.l within the channel. They might end up being the take-out that Gu Xijiu longed for after being stranded in the desert for so long.
Gu Xijiu cherished her majestic beings very much. If they were dead, it would be even more difficult for him to win her heart. Before leaving, he had ordered Bai Ze to take care of the mussel and Lu Wu, so others would not mistreat them. Briskly, Bai Ze agreed.
The Divine Lord had other missions to attend to, so they only stopped by in the continent for a day and continued their journey the next day. To keep Ning Xuemo at ease, Di Fuyi chose to conceal the fact that he would be journeying to Shura World. He wanted the best for her, to do what she had to with Shen Jiuli without having to worry about him.
Although Shen Jiuli was always sarcastic to his son, he was actually a loving father. He spent the entire evening explaining to Di Fuyi about the detailed ways to enter Shura World. Also, he taught him a few Kung Fu techniques and even offered him many magical items just to make sure his beloved son would survive the harsh world out there.
With all the help, Di Fuyi stood confidently on the Rotary Platform, knowing that he would definitely make it to Shura World and reunite with her.
The Rotary Platform offered a dazzling display of many channels. Within the mess, Di Fuyi finally found the grey pathway that he wished for and took an immediate leap.
"Xijiu, I am coming for you."
"We have been apart for so long. Did you miss me?" He wondered. However, he suspected that she probably thought more about her majestic beings. After the leap, he finally knew how complicated the channel actually was.
He was falling at high speed but in a rotating manner. He felt like a meteorite falling through the sky. The temperature was very high as Shen Jiuli mentioned; it was like he was about to be burned alive.
Luckily, he came well prepared. Other than the safety enclosure on his body, he also had some magical items around to keep him alive. He was confident that he would make it through the channel.
