She has listed a few more items. Di Fuyi looked at her and asked, "Are you going to marinate yourself or turn into a stew?"
Gu Xijiu closed her eyes to show her dissatisfaction, "Only these things could remove the disguise on my face!"
"I trust you." Di Fuyi smiled. "But, what are these things on your body?"
He took a glance at her fat round body, "How many layers of cotton robes are you wearing inside?
Are you not scared of rashes? Do you need me to help you to take it off?"
Gu Xijiu was upset and said, "I don’t feel hot! I don't need to remove them!"
In order to make herself look really fat, she had also disguised her body. It felt like a real layer of fat on her belly.
While it was even harder to remove those fats, she needed some special materials for a bath.
Although the carriage was big enough, it could not fit the bathtub. Besides that, she did not want to be naked and take a bath in front of Di Fuyi as well!
Di Fuyi quickly told his subordinates to prepare those materials and check on Gu Xijiu again, "You really feel okay?"
"Yes, I feel chilly. Look at my face, I didn’t even sweat." Gu Xijiu said.
Di Fuyi was quite easy going, "Alright, up to you."
Gu Xijiu felt relieved, he did not seem to be as crazy as what she had imagined.
"Where are you bringing me?" Although there was a window in the cabin, she was lying down on the cushion. She could only see the clouds up above. Apparently, the carriage was flying in the sky...
"Open Heaven Stage." Di Fuyi said.
Gu Xijiu was stunned, "I thought you promised to give a three day buffer period!"
"Ummm, that's only on the condition of your not trying to escape, but alas, you even poisoned me." Di Fuyi said.
"But… But I failed, right? You’re perfectly fine. You’re a Celestial Master, don’t be so fussy with a kid."
"No, you succeeded." Di Fuyi spoke slowly, "I was poisoned, but we can only find out if I’m safe or not after we get married."
Gu Xijiu remained silent.
She took a deep breath and said, "Master Palace, I think we need to talk."
Di Fuyi looked at her, "Not everyone is allowed to address me as Master Palace, did you know that? First of all, he or she must be my subordinate. Secondly, he or she must be my friend. And lastly, my wife can also address me this way. So, which one are you?"
Gu Xijiu was speechless. She was not his subordinate, not his friend, and of course, she was not his wife!
"Then… Mr. Celestial Master"
"We have two Celestial Masters, how would I know who you are calling?"
Gu Xijiu did not want to argue about trivial matters, "Fine! Mr. Celestial Master Zuo, I…"
"Everyone is addressing me this way, so you mean to say you are their equals?"
Gu Xijiu was upset and speechless. Could he not even talk nicely!?
"Then what should I address you?"
Di Fuyi extended his legs and said, "Sweetheart, you should figure it out by yourself."
Gu Xijiu pondered and asked, "Oh right, why are you calling me ‘sweetheart’?"
He has been calling her as sweetheart many times now. She did not care previously, as she was busy planning her great escape.
Di Fuyi looked at her and said, "Many years ago, I had a tour outside and that was the first time I met you. You were so tiny back then." He raised his hand and tried to illustrate her size with his hand. I had already called you sweetheart at that time."
He sighed, "Time flies, and you’ve grown up now."
Gu Xijiu remained silent.
She had finally found a way to address him, "Only now I know that you have been watching me grow. Should I then address you as Uncle Di?"
Di Fuyi stunned, and asked as he looked at her, "What!?"
Oh, that did not sound respectful enough.
Gu Xijiu teased him, "How about Grandpa Di?"
Di Fuyi was speechless.
Gu Xijiu has paid a high price for addressing him with such a respectful title. Di Fuyi smiled and tapped on her shoulder, "What a nice title!"
Gu Xijiu felt something amiss as she looked at his smile.
In fact, her instincts were accurate! Di Fuyi said, "Head over to the Open Heaven Stage! Hurry up!"
"Yes, Master!" The cart driver replied and accelerated.
The carriage lost its balance and became shaky when the cart driver suddenly accelerated. Gu Xijiu’s acupuncture point was sealed and she lost control over her bodily coordination. She was curled up into a ball and rolled around in the cabin...
Luckily, the cushion was soft enough. She did not get hurt no matter where she hit herself on, but her eyes were blurred and she felt dizzy.
She had no idea whether she had moved too much from rolling around or that the cabin was getting hotter - she was sweating.
She felt extremely hot to a point that she could not take it anymore.
She thought she was going to suffer a heatstroke, but she could not get rid of the artificial fat layer on her body.
Her blood was boiling inside and her face was very hot, as though it was going to explode.
Celestial Master Zuo was still sitting there, reading his book calmly.
There was a few times when Gu Xijiu rolled to his feet, even so, he did not bother.
People who felt hot would naturally be attracted by cooler spots. Gu Xijiu could feel the chill when she rolled nearer to Di Fuyi.
The best way for her to feel better was to hug his legs. One, it would help her stabilize herself, and second, she could cool herself down.
Perhaps, the blood circulation spiked due to the high temperature, as one of her acupuncture points was unsealed automatically. Although she had yet to be completely free, her arms were free to move! She could hug his legs if she wanted to.
Although she knew that it was embarrassing to hug him, she had no other choice!
"How much would my ego cost? Life is more precious!"
His legs weren't all that bad. As long as it could help her feel better, she would hug it even if he brings a pig over.
Therefore, when she rolled to his legs again, she quickly hugged one of them.
Di Fuyi was stunned and looked at her. Gu Xijiu raised her head and looked at him in response.
Her fat round face was sweaty as she had even put on some fake pimples and scars on her face to prevent people from scrutinising her. But at that very moment, the sweat had ruined her makeup.
Di Fuyi moved his gaze away as though he was going to do something. However, he calmed himself and said, "Gu Xijiu, I'm your elder. Males and females shouldn't have any physical contact with one another - aren't you afraid of being punished for misbehaving?"
