Guj Xijiu slumped to the floor, and she would not get up. Everything did not make sense anymore. The chilliness started to creep into her bones while her body was getting numb.
It seemed that this was all not a joke and that she had indeed returned late just like in her dream. She got the herbs, but God did not want to allow her to save his life... Her mind was blank, and she could not get a lot of information at the moment.
The only phrase lingering in her mind was- 'He is dead! He is really dead! She couldn't see him anymore…'
The last time they saw each other was the moment before she entered the Buddha Fire Land; she could not believe that quick hug and kiss was their farewell... She had no idea how long she had been sitting there. It was as if there was no point for her even to get up.
Mu Feng was visibly worried. He asked, "My Lord? My Lord? Are you alright?" However, Gu Xijiu just continued to look into the starry sky without acknowledging him.
