When Gu Xijiu came out from the pond, The Lord had disappeared. Gu Xijiu thought he would watch her bathe. She felt so relieved now.
She was really dirty, and her clothes were still smelly even after washing them. If she took them off and The Lord suddenly appeared, or other people suddenly broke in then it would be disastrous.
"I’ve set a wizardry barrier; no one will come in, just take your time." The Lord’s voice was lingering in the air, but Gu Xijiu could not identify his exact location. Since he was a God, he would not peep at a little girl when she bathes, right? With this reasoning, Gu Xijiu took off all her clothes and then soaked her body in the water.
She only had a quick bath and dashed out once she finished washing everything. This took just five minutes. She then took out a set of new clothes from her storage bag and changed.
Right after she was dressed, she realized that The Lord was standing somewhere nearby. The sun shone on him as though he had been coated with a layer of gold as he looked glittery.
Initially, Gu Xijiu was idling, but later, she was shocked!
The spot where The Lord stood was the best location to watch her bathe! Did he do so? No way! It could not be! He was The Lord, not some perverted uncle! Why would he do that?
Perhaps, the wizardry barrier had a certain special function. He probably could not see anything inside the barrier as she did not see The Lord as well when she was bathing in the pond.
But if he could not see her, why would he appear right after she put on her clothes? The timing was perfect! What the f*ck, did he actually see?! That was the first time Gu Xijiu had experienced such an incident.
However, soon, she was able to calm herself. So what even if he had seen her naked? She was still fine. Besides that, she had seen his nipples, and touched his p... penis! She would not be at a loss! Oops, hang on! She actually touched a jade statue. Anyway, he was The Lord; he was a god. She would just take it as though a god was watching her.
The Lord looked at her with a different feeling. She just came out from the water with her wet hair which was still lying on her shoulder untied. She was wearing a set of black clothes with no makeup on her face.
She has grown up, and she was now about 160-170 centimeters tall. Her body figure was good, but her features were still a bit child-like. Her eyes were pretty, and sometimes her gazes looked very mature.
It was a mixture of different auras, but he was so captivated by it! You could never be bored by looking at her. The Lord only took a glimpse of her, but his gaze had never left until she walked toward him and arrived in front of him.
If he did the same to someone else, that person would have been anxious and probably sweating profusely. However, she was very calm and sporting as she even bowed to greet him, "Sincere apologies, My Lord. Sorry to keep you waiting."
It was rare to see Gu Xijiu being so courteous. She was behaving as though she was seeing a very elderly and well-respected person.
However, The Lord strangely felt annoyed, and whenever he felt annoyed, he liked to be fussy and make people feel even more annoyed. "Why is your hair so wet? Is this how you carry yourself when you see the elders?"
Gu Xijiu was speechless. He was such a fussy weirdo! However, she decided to endure when she recalled his identity. She even sympathized with the four messengers as she believed it was definitely not easy to work for The Lord. Fortunately, she did not need to see him often. Otherwise, she would definitely explode one day!
Fortunately, she did not have to see him often, perhaps, it was the only time they would meet. It was considered a rare opportunity. Hence, she decided to endure.
Gu Xijiu still wanted to be an obedient girl in front of him. Hence, she began to tidy her hair after an apology. Although she had sufficient spiritual power now, she did not officially learn the many spells to help her with her chores. Therefore, she did not know how to dry her hair with her spiritual power. She combed her hair while facing where the wind came from so that it could be dried faster.
The Lord watched her comb her hair and realized it was a beautiful scene. Initially, he was planning to dry her hair with his magic. However, he decided to let her do it since he did not mind to continue watching her drying her hair.
Gu Xijiu did not want to leave The Lord waiting for long. Therefore, she tied her hair after a few minutes of drying. She did not use any makeup or fancy hairstyle, so she only tied her hair into a simple knot.
The wet hair coupled with a simple hairstyle had made her look a few years older than her real age! Gu Xijiu looked so beautiful earlier, but now she looked less charming.
The Lord was a perfectionist. He was perfect, and he could not accept any imperfections on others as well. Especially, the lady he cared about.
He tried to control himself but failed. He waved at her, "Come over here, I'll help you."
Gu Xijiu was speechless again. She was shocked!
...
Gu Xijiu sat on a rock, and The Lord was standing behind her to tidy her hair. He ran his fair and long fingers through her hair. Although it was just a few minutes, it made her feel good.
The Lord exuded an extraordinary fragrance. It was a very mild yet fresh odor, but it disappeared when she tried to smell it again. Gu Xijiu recalled Di Fuyi again. Strangely, the fragrance of The Lord and Di Fuyi was different, but she always thought both of the fragrances came from the same origins.
She suddenly had an extreme idea in her head. Was The Lord in front of her, or was it actually Di Fuyi!!!? Of course, Gu Xijiu immediately convinced herself to deny this extreme case as she felt that it was impossible.
Oh gosh! It is impossible! Not to mention that both of their auras were different, but even if it were the same, Di Fuyi would not dare to impersonate The Lord, right!? That would be a great sin!
Even if Di Fuyi were brave enough, he would not dig a grave for himself, right? If he were caught, his Fucang Hall would be destroyed into ashes!
She was out of her mind for the moment, but when she regained her consciousness, there was a mirror in front of her, and The Lord’s voice lingered around her ears, "Come on, look at yourself."
The girl in the mirror looked fabulous with a fringe slightly covering her forehead. Gu Xijiu was surprised but frowned as she did not expect The Lord to know how to tie hair! It was amazing!
Most importantly, her wet hair was dried in just a few minutes, and it became as smooth as silk! It was even smoother than hair in the hair shampoo advertisements!
Girls always prioritized their appearance, and Gu Xijiu was no exception. Thus, she thanked The Lord and continued admiring herself in front of the mirror.
"Change your dress as well." The Lord gave Gu Xijiu a set of clothes, "Your current outfit would make me think you’re challenging me."
As usual, Gu Xijiu was speechless but she said in her head, "My Lord, are we done with these? I thought you have something important to talk to me about? You are leaving after that, right? How long would it take to finish the talk? Am I really worth your time that you would turn me into a beautiful doll?"
