In the end, he had no choice but to resort to isolation. He sealed himself off in a bleak and lifeless land to focus solely on his cultivation. At that point, his relations.h.i.+p with Gu Xijiu was already at its worst. Gu Xijiu would not talk to him about anything at all. When he told her that he was about to isolate himself, she remained nonchalant. "What does it have to do with me?" She icily asked.
Her reply had completely thrown Di Fuyi off guard. He said nothing more and went straight into isolation. What he did not know was that Gu Xijiu was already pregnant with their second baby – little Di Hao. Despite her hatred for Di Fuyi, she cherished the baby very much. She could always feel at ease whenever she thought of the baby.
However, her days in the residence of the master of the heavenly law were not without difficulties. She was solely responsible for the master of the heavenly law"s punishment, for she had changed him from an emotionless man into a man in love. In addition to her violent past and the fact that Di Fuyi was injured because of her meant that none of the servants in her new residence treated her with respect. They would not even talk to her at all.
As for the celestial beings from the six worlds, they all looked down on her, but never really mistreated her. At least, they had to show some respect to the master of the heavenly law. Most of the time, they would stay away to avoid seeing her in person.
Without any Kung Fu, her spiritual power was even worse than a young servant in the ninth heaven. Anyone could simply hold her down with a single strike. She was as good as a decorative container that was only for display purposes.
Many people talked behind her back, saying that her incompetence made her no longer a match for the master of the heavenly law.
She knew about the nasty things that people said about her. However, she was not bothered. The only thing that truly hurt her was the loss of her power. Being remarkably persevering, she tried many ways to practice her Kung Fu, but her attempts were all defeated by the internal injuries of her nervous system. Every time she tried to practice, every inch of her veins ached with wrenching pain. In the end, she chose to give up all for the sake of her baby.
Di Hao was a celestial baby, which made him unique. He had been in her womb for three years. She was almost convinced that the baby that she was carrying was highly abnormal and could even turn out to be a beast. Fortunately, some fetal movement in her belly reminded her that the baby was well and alive.
For the past three years, Di Fuyi had never shown up at all. Hence, Gu Xijiu felt forgotten. Although she never complained about it, deep down, she still cared. Apparently, Di Hao chose to come into the world at a bad time.
Since Gu Xijiu was alone most of the time, she often got bored. Hence, she would go out and travel every once in a while. When the contractions happened, she was caught in the wilderness. Extremely strong waves of pain immediately consumed her.
She was all alone, and the pain she was experiencing made it impossible for her to get home. Therefore, she found a quiet place and thought about delivering the baby herself.
Di Hao"s strength as a celestial baby was not to be underestimated. It certainly made it very difficult for Gu Xijiu. The entire labor lasted for ten days, in a place that was cold and miserably isolated. Even when she was struggling with her labor, Di Fuyi never showed up at all.
When she could no longer handle the pain alone, she finally cried his name out loud, hoping that Di Fuyi would hear her calling. Di Fuyi once told her that if she called his name out loud while wearing the Love Bracelet, he would be able to hear it. No matter where he was, he would surely make his way to her in not more than two hours.
It had been more than 12 hours since her desperate call, but Di Fuyi was still nowhere to be seen.
Understandably, she became unconscious the moment the baby was delivered.
When she regained consciousness, she was still in the forest. Strong winds raved through the trees and numbed her body because of the intense cold. Understandably, Di Hao"s birth was not properly handled, so the naked baby had been exposed to the cold for the past few hours. His signs of life were like a candle in the wind.
