Gu Xijiu stared at it.
Did it ask on purpose? It had transformed into Long Siye in the illusion before to confuse her and now it pretended not to know him.
The big mussel seemed to realize something, "Master, my mirage poison can make people fall into an illusion and what appears in the illusion is the weak point of the person. It could only be seen by the person who is trapped in it. Actually, I can't see it. Only when the person is trapped by their own weak point, I can take the advantage to go in and eat the person. However, I can't see what the weakness is itself."
Was it true?
Gu Xijiu was skeptical.
The big mussel went near to her, "Master, I will not lie to you. What you have seen was your sore point and something that you are interested in…"
Were they all her weak points?
Did it mean was she interested to see Di Fuyi's naked body?
No, it was not the case. How could she be interested in the naked body of Di Fuyi?!
The image of Di Fuyi, as well as the words he said before, had appeared in her mind…
She immediately paused her thoughts and kept the image of Di Fuyi deep inside her mind.
"Master, so who is he?" The big mussel insisted to ask.
"He is the Overlord of Tianwen clan, Long Siye."
The big mussel opened its shell, "Is he Long Siye? I have eaten a few disciples of his!"
Gu Xijiu was speechless.
The big mussel continued to say, "All of his disciples said their master would take revenge for them before they died and told me the name of their master. I have always wanted to meet this guy. I never expect that I will meet him like this today. I've always thought that he is an old man and never knew that he was so young and good looking like Celestial Master Zuo…"
Gu Xijiu remained silent and let it chatter on.
"Master, is Long Siye your weak point? You seem very upset and frustrated now. I am very curious about that. He seemed to be a gentleman and he had put all his effort in to save you. In addition, you guys are very well-coordinated when you were fighting with the enemy. I think that you guys are very compatible, just like a couple. Was there any misunderstandings between you both? I think you should talk to him about that…"
Gu Xijiu still remained silent.
"Master, the pill that he gave you should be a medicine to replenish your energy. He is sincere to you, without any ulterior motives."
Gu Xijiu had finally ran out of patience. She took out her sword and pointed at it, "Have you finished your words? If you don’t shut up, I will cut you and turn you into soup!"
The big mussel quickly slammed its shell shut and did not dare to talk any further.
Finally, the surroundings were quiet and Gu Xijiu got to meditate properly.
Yes, she knew that the pill given by Long Siye was good for her. However, she could never trust him anymore. She needed to be alert whenever she met him.
She even had assumptions that the two poisonous corpses were probably created by him so that he could be appear to be the hero who rescued her from danger.
If she did not see that he almost died under the claws of the two poisonous corpses, she would still doubt that he was the person behind the poisonous corpses.
It seemed like Long Siye had been injured badly this time and his ability had been weakened.
However, he was still alright six months ago when she left him. During this period, Gu Xijiu heard that he was retreating in his own clan. He was supposed to have increased his spiritual power after the retreat, not have it greatly reduced.
Was he deliberately being weak in front of her? Or was he too exhausted after trying to resurrect Ye Hongfeng?
Had Ye Hongfeng come back to life?"
Although she had asked the big mussel to shut up, there were numerous thoughts in her mind and she could not concentrate during meditation.
She took a deep breath and told herself, "Gu Xijiu, you don't have to think so much. This person has nothing to do with you anymore. Since you have decided to live on your own in this life, you don't have to think of all these insignificant people and matters anymore!"
She stood up and jumped on the Wind Caller's back, "Let's go!"
...
It was a smooth journey for Gu Xijiu as she was leaving the Dark Forest, as she did not meet any obstacles anymore.
However, she was quite surprised that she did not encounter any ambush outside the Dark Forest. It was a sunny and windy day and the air was fresh.
During the few days inside the Dark Forest, the air was almost stagnant with a dark, damp atmosphere. She had not seen the sun for many days.
When she saw the sun once in the fourth peak, Si Chen who was transformed by Di Fuyi suddenly said something weird and ran away.
And after Di Fuyi left the Dark Forest, it was back to its original state without the chance to see the clear sky anymore.
Finally, she could see the sun again now. When she was inhaling the fresh air, she could feel her lung expanding comfortably and the air stuck in her chest had been released too.
She stood outside the Dark Forest and stretched for a while.
Finally, she had emerged from the forest!
It was one day earlier than the day specified by Di Fuyi.
"Tweet tweet…" A colorful bird flew over to the top of her head before vanishing.
Gu Xijiu glanced at the bird and did not care too much about it. She stroked the Wind Caller’s fur. It was the first time the Wind Caller had come out of the Dark Forest. It was a bit excited but nervous too. Gu Xijiu could sense its tension, "What’s wrong? Are you nervous?"
Wind Caller nodded and used its head to rub her hand.
It had been very loyal to Gu Xijiu after she had saved it from the claws of the two poisonous corpses.
It was really tense, that the mane on its head could be seen trembling.
There were a lot of humans outside the Dark Forest and human always liked to hunt them…
Gu Xijiu laughed, "Don’t worry. This world is not as terrible as you think. You have me to protect you."
Her laughter was cool and bright. It had the power to calm people down. The Wind Caller rubbed against her again and finally, it was not trembling anymore.
Gu Xijiu rode on the Wind Caller and went down the hill at a fast pace. Under the hill, she saw a large tea stall.
The tea stall was not small. It was about five acres in size. When she saw it from a distance, it almost accounted for a big piece of the hillside.
Gu Xijiu frowned and reined the Wind Caller. Although it was already outside the Dark Forest, it was still a quiet place with almost no civilization. What was the purpose of building such a large tea stall over here?
Did they want to sell tea to beasts?
There must be something unusual. Gu Xijiu saw that there were curtains dropping down from the stall and she could not see the interior clearly. She grabbed the sword in her hand tightly.
The curtains hung on the stall were very clean and it looked like it was made of high-quality silk.
It was very quiet inside the tea stall. It seemed like it was abandoned by someone. However, Gu Xijiu could see the silver bells that were hanging at the four corners. When the wind blew, the bells would ring sharply.
She looked at the forest behind the tea stall.
The forest was also very quiet, but she could feel some movement inside it.
Could there be an ambush?
Gu Xijiu wondered.
She was not surprised if there was an ambush. However, it did not make sense to build such a big tea stall to ambush her.
Although she had been very thirsty, she refused to go into this creepy tea stall.
