章 1254: Choked By The Smoke

Gu Xijiu took out a smoked piece of wood and placed it in front of big mussel to prove her point. She moved swiftly and caught her pet by surprise. The smoke choked it, and the mussel started tearing as it was unable to counter Gu Xijiu's action. The big mussel quickly stepped back and almost fell into the fire. It promptly used its shell to fan the smoke away. "It's too smoky!"

"Do you believe me now?" Gu Xijiu asked without looking at it.

Naturally, the big mussel believed her and did not dare to challenge her further. However, it still wondered. "You have grilled many times before, but this is the first time you got choked by the smoke."

Gu Xijiu did not answer it. She tried convincing herself that she had cried because of the smoke. She told herself that the reason she felt pain now was that she was hurt. However, she would recover and would not feel hurt anymore after some time. She still firmly believed that time would heal her.
