Venerated Venomous Consort

Gu Xijiu was speechless. As Di Fuyi was really close to her, the faint scent on his body lingered around Gu Xijiu’s nose. She stepped back and raised the pheasant that was baked in her hand. “Perhaps, I can give this to you for now?”

Di Fuyi shook his head. “Not enough! Everyone said that the grace of giving water needs to be paid back with spring water. This life-saving grace should be returned with a fountain, right? How can it be repaid by a mere pheasant?”

Gu Xijiu replied, “What do you want to me repay you with?”

Di Fuyi sat by her side and leaned toward her. “Will you marry me?”

Gu Xijiu was stunned. “You must be joking again.”

Under the bonfire, Di Fuyi looked really serious. “I have never joked about this matter with you.”

Gu Xijiu looked away. This guy was a movie actor. She was not sure which movie he was acting in this time. In times of uncertainty, sometimes it was best not to respond. Thus, she smiled and did not say anything.

Di Fuyi looked at her for a moment and finally decided to change the topic. He glanced at Zhu Duqing next to him. “Has Mr. Zhu recovered from his rib injury?”

Zhu Duqing had been very guarding Gu Xijiu, but now that his focused had changed, he felt more relaxed. He proudly replied, “Thank you for your care! It still hurts, but I have good physical strength. It will soon be healed!”

Di Fuyi sighed. “You are too weak. One hit can actually break so many ribs. You have not taken your body seriously! How can you let it be weak for so long?”

Zhu Duqing was speechless. He now wanted to break Di Fuyi’s ribs! Di Fuyi put a bottle of cream in his palm, which he retrieved from his robe and handed it over. “This medicine cures bruises. I will give it to you.”

Zhu Duqing was furious. “Go away!” He also tried to destroy the bottle of ointment as payback!

Di Fuyi was prepared. He moved his hand away in time and shook his head. “Mr. Zhu has always been a high-spirited man. Why are you so violent today? If you don’t need it, then forget it.” He kept the bottle back into his robe.

Zhu Duqing remained silent. He wanted to recover as soon as possible and beat Di Fuyi up! With a serious face, he asked, “Why are you here?”

If it was possible, he really wanted to kick him away! However, his skill was not high enough, and his physical strength had not recovered. He could only think about it and hoped that he could make him leave using words this time.

Di Fuyi slowly pulled up his sleeves. “I don’t like people to owe me. Since I have saved your life, I am here to ask for something in return.”

“I can let go of Princess Yuanyuan.” Gu Xijiu calmly answered. She felt that the reason Di Fuyi acted like this was probably to ask for a favor on behalf of the princess.

After all, Di Fuyi knew Gu Xijiu well enough. He knew that she wanted to tear out Yuanyuan’s heart. He wanted to protect Yuanyuan, but he could not bear to hurt Gu Xijiu, so he could only help her as much as possible so that she could return his favor.

Di Fuyi was stunned. He looked at her and smiled. “Can I treat this sentence as jealousy?”

“No, I am not jealous.” Gu Xijiu bit her lips slightly.

Di Fuyi sighed. “I would rather you be jealous…” He said this sentence very softly, and Gu Xijiu could not hear it clearly. She raised her eyebrows. “What?”

“You can do whatever you like. It does not matter to me whether you want to let her off the hook or not. I will not interfere.” This time Di Fuyi said it clearly.
