The cold felt like sharp needles poking her all over her body, especially in her hands and feet. She wanted to meditate, but she could not even breathe well.Despite the pain, deep down in her heart, she knew that she should feel blessed to have been able to make it out alive. She actually escaped death, didn"t she?
It was just so fortunate for her that Di Fuyi had tripped at a critical moment! Otherwise, she would have frozen to death out there. She urgently needed food to replenish her nutrition and restore some of her physical strength, so she instructed him again, "Can you go hunting again?" She requested. Before she finished her order, Di Fuyi turned and left.
Di Fuyi came back very quickly this time. She had not even warmed herself yet by the time he got back. This time, he brought a deer and a hare again, just like before. He threw the hare to her and went to roast the deer again by himself.
Gu Xijiu"s hands and feet were still stiff, so she could not peel off the skin of the hare. Moreover, she did not feel like having rabbit meat right now. Thence, she spoke up, "In fact, a deer is adequate for two of us to eat. There is no need for the rabbit."
Di Fuyi looked at her rather sternly. His eyes were so deep that she could not guess what the man was thinking right now.
To try to clear any ambiguities, Gu Xijiu continued, "I don"t really eat much. One deer"s leg is enough for me. Or a deer..."
Di Fuyi still glared at her and but seemed to chuckle.
Gu Xijiu was anxious, so she asked, "Did you hear me?"
Di Fuyi finally said replied, "Let"s order me!"
Gu Xijiu went stiff. She looked up at him and was somewhat confused. To her surprise, Di Fuyi"s lips were curved upward at this time. "If you don"t order me, how can I execute something for you?"
Something was not right! Theoretically, while under control, he should not be able to say such a thing to her.
"You..." Gu Xijiu"s heart pumped faster.
Di Fuyi lazily stared at her and raised his eyebrows. "Hmm?"
"Are you... have you freed yourself from the spell?!"
Di Fuyi chuckled again but did not speak.
Meanwhile, Gu Xijiu was not about to stop asking questions. She silently used a spell to give the man a basic order. Then, she looked at him and watched as he just stared at her in return without doing anything that she had instructed.
Apparently, the man was no longer under her control. But how did he do it? Her spell had never failed her before! Gu Xijiu wondered if it was because her spiritual power had significantly reduced. However, before she could even be sure, Di Fuyi spoke, "You once promised that you would never use the control spell again on me. I didn"t expect you to break your promise so quickly!" Di Fuyi stepped closer to her.
The aura around him was extremely intense and overbearing for the weakened Gu Xijiu. She had to suppress the urge to retreat at that point. Her bad deed was called out so bluntly by him. She was so embarra.s.sed that she suddenly felt her face heat up. "I... I was forced to do so. I am sorry..."
"That"s it?"
" I said... I will compensate you."
"How do you plan to compensate me?" Di Fuyi looked down at her and asked.
Gu Xijiu heaved a sigh and opened up the storage s.p.a.ce on her body. She took out all the valuable things inside that almost filled up the entire house. "You can pick out something from any of these things!"
There were a variety of precious things in her storage s.p.a.ce. All her prized a.s.sets and possessions were here with her. However, Di Fuyi did not even spare a second to look at those things. He kept his eyes focused on her and continued, "You know what I want most!"
Gu Xijiu remained silent. She naturally knew and understood what he wanted. He wanted her to free him from being her disciple.
"That... that is not possible for the time being. My current strength will make it impossible for me to resist being struck by lightning from the heavens."
"When can it be done?"
"This… Perhaps, in a few more years." She only had a few more years to live, so she would lift the disciples.h.i.+p before she was immortalized.
"A few more years?!" Di Fuyi did not sound satisfied with her answer. "If I have calculated it correctly, after you practice for a month here, you should be able to restore yourself to your previous strength. Why should it be dragged for a few more years?"
