Long Siye said, "I'll bring it over."
After walking two steps forward, he stopped and turned around to look at Gu Xijiu. He was worried about her. Amused, Gu Xijiu said, "Don’t worry about me. I'll go with you."
Just as she was about to stand up, a hand gripped her wrist. Di Fuyi smiled and said, "It does not require two persons to go and take a bottle of liquor."
Gu Xijiu sneered. This must be jealousy. Di Fuyi gripped her wrist very tightly this time so Gu Xijiu knew that she could not get rid of him. She waved her hand and said, "Overlord Long, please get it by yourself. Celestial Master Zuo must be worried that we would escape together…"
Long Siye held his breath then he looked at Di Fuyi, "Since she has agreed to do the test, you should not be giving her unnecessary trouble, right?"
Di Fuyi’s replied hesitantly, "I do not plan to do anything to her yet, but if you keep talking so much I will change my mind."
Long Siye did not speak anymore and quickly turned and left the room. Gu Xijiu looked at Long Siye’s back and had a complicated feeling that she could not express. Abruptly, the grip on her wrist became so firm that it started to hurt. Gu Xijiu struggled and shouted, "You are hurting me!"
Di Fuyi loosened his palm but did not let go, "Baby, it is not good to look at another guy in front of your fiancé."
Gu Xijiu challenged him, "Do you think I am a lunatic? I know the marriage you proposed is fake."
"Why do you think so?"
Gu Xijiu stared at the black ring on his finger which was glowing and said, "Is this not an engagement ring!? It seems to be made with black hair!"
Di Fuyi glanced at the ring on his finger then looked at her and smiled, "Baby, you are very knowledgeable. However, have you ever seen an enchanted ring made of black jade? If it was an engagement ring like you said, it is supposed to be made of black hair, right?"
"Who knows!? This could be one of your tricks." Gu Xijiu said coldly.
Di Fuyi sighed, "It seems like you will acknowledge our marriage until I find your ring."
Gu Xijiu poured herself a cup of tea while saying, "It is not the truth, what do you want me to say?"
"Are you hesitant because of Long Siye?"Di Fuyi asked.
Gu Xijiu smiled and said nothing.
Her silence was treated as an acknowledgment. Di Fuyi frowned and said, "It’s impossible for you to be with him!"
If it were not possible for Gu Xijiu to be with Long Siye, was it possible for Di Fuyi to be with him?!
Gu Xijiu calmly spun the glass with her finger and asked, "Uh, is it?"
Then, she smiled and said, "In fact, even if the marriage you proposed was true, we are unlikely to get married. If I possess a heavenly gift, I will not step into the Dark Forest in the next two years' time. And if I don't, I will probably lose my life inside the Dark Forest as it is almost impossible for me to escape. Thus, the marriage will not be feasible, and we do not need to waste time thinking about it."
Di Fuyi looked at her with shimmering eyes, "Are you against my proposal?"
Gu Xijiu did not deny, "Yes!"
Di Fuyi remained silent.
Then he smiled, "Do you know that there are so many women in this continent who would be honored to marry me but will never get the opportunity?"
Gu Xijiu chuckled sarcastically and said, "I commend you for your good market. You can take your pick of the lot then."
Di Fuyi was stunned, and he could not tell what Gu Xijiu was thinking.
As would be expected, Long Siye returned swiftly to check on Gu Xijiu. It took him only two to three minutes to retrieve the liquor.
He placed a blood-red liquor jar on the table, "This is Drunken Universe. It took decades to brew, and it is the last one that I have. Master Di, please enjoy it at your convenience."
Then, he put another bottle in front of Gu Xijiu, "This is your favorite red wine."
Gu Xijiu was surprised. She liked to drink red wine. She had not tasted it since she came to this world, and she missed it now.
She was delighted by the sight of the red wine and said, "The color looks good. Let me try." Before she opened the crystal red wine bottle, a purple sleeve flashed in front of her, and the wine suddenly disappeared from her hand.
Gu Xijiu stared at the culprit, "What are you doing?"
Her wine was taken away by Di Fuyi! Damn, she did not even get to smell it yet!
Di Fuyi turned his wrist slightly, and a jade bottle suddenly appeared on his palm out of nowhere. He placed it in front of Gu Xijiu and said, "You are still a kid, so you are not allowed to drink. J is more appropriate for you."
The jade bottle contained a sweet and fruity juice which smelled good. It would undoubtedly be the favorite drink of most kids. Gu Xijiu never expected that the highly respected Celestial Master Zuo would bring this along with him.
Di Fuyi then waved at Long Siye and invited him to drink, "Overlord Long, come, let’s drink together." He opened the bottle, and the aroma immediately dispersed into the atmosphere.
"Master Di, when are we going to do the test?" Gu Xijiu suddenly asked.
"Let’s do it tomorrow. It is too late to do it today."
Gu Xijiu nodded, "Alright, I will go back with you tomorrow." Gu Xijiu then looked at Long Siye and asked, "Do you only have one bottle of Drunken Universe left?"
Long Siye answered with a heavy tone, "It is complicated to brew this liquor so having one is already a blessing."
Gu Xijiu sighed, "If that is the case, we should let Master Di enjoy this liquor exclusively. There are still some leftover fishes. Master Di, please enjoy them too. Since you are the guest, we should never let you go back on an empty stomach, right?"
Long Siye remained silent. He had no idea what Gu Xijiu was trying to do so he did not say anything. Di Fuyi looked at her and knocked the table with his finger, "What are you trying to say?"
"The conditions that you requested for was to drink the Drunken Universe and to have a fish feast. Now that you have both of them, you can enjoy them on your own."
Gu Xijiu stood up and moved closer to Long Siye, "Overlord Long, I am not sure if I will still be alive tomorrow. I’ve heard that the scenery here is very nice. Can you bring me around?"
Of course, Long Siye agreed with this proposal and immediately stood up. He spoke gentlemanly, "Sure, I will bring you around."
He turned to Di Fuyi and said, "Please enjoy yourself. Don’t worry; I will not run away with her. We will be at the Open Heave Stage on time tomorrow." Then, he held Gu Xijiu’s hand and walked out from the room.
Di Fuyi remained silent. He was completely ignored. A gust of wind entered the room as the door opened which blew some of the aromas of the liquor directly into his nose. However, he felt that the aroma was too light.
He played with the glass on his hand and then looked at the table full of fish. He felt disappointed.
