Chapter 2358: The So-Called Life-Saving Grace
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhu Duqing looked at Gu Xijiu again. She was looking at Di Fuyi, who was smiling. “This rabbit is also one of the returns for my life-saving grace.”
d.a.m.n it. How much benefit do you need for a life-saving grace?! Zhu Duqing felt that this Devil King was not that free to just come and grab some barbecued meat. Thus, he closed the fan in his hand and asked Di Fuyi directly, “What are you going to do this time? What else you want us to return you for your life-saving grace? Can you just state it all?”
Di Fuyi looked at Gu Xijiu instead. “Are you hungry?” Gu Xijiu was hungry. She had not eaten anything, although she had been baking the meat for half a day. She was wondering if she should get the black sheep out and bake it. But with Di Fuyi’s current mood, the whole sheep would have been eaten by him, aside from the unwanted parts that would go to Mr. Zhu.
She did not like to eat those parts either. Hence, she thought that she should eat later. Things would not get better if he stayed for a longer period of time. She needed to rest quietly.
She shook her head in response to Di Fuyi’s question. “I am not hungry, bu Duqing is. I am roasting a piece of meat for him,” she stood up and said. “Devil King, I will return your life-saving grace later. I have something to do, so I cannot accompany you anymore. ”
“Duqing?” Di Fuyi repeated.
It was such an intimate way to refer to someone. She used to call him Prince Nianmo in the Upper Bound. When he claimed that he was her fiancé, she called him by his name. Unfortunately, she had soon broken up with him. After that, she always referred to him as Devil King, which felt very formal.
Di Fuyi faintly smiled at Zhu Duqing. “So, your real name is Zhu Duqing? That is new to me.”
Zhu Duqing waved his sleeves. “I don’t simply tell my real name to people.”
He had no intention to keep talking to Di Fuyi right now. Besides, every time he saw him, he felt a pain in his ribs. Seeing that Gu Xijiu wanted to go, he immediately began to pack up.
The donkey was depressed. It ran for a whole day and also went for hunting. It had not gotten much rest but already needed to start traveling again. Therefore, when Zhu Duqing attached the carriage to its body, it kicked its owner’s foot. Then, he turned and ran!
It ran away in the blink of an eye and disappeared. Zhu Duqing was speechless. This donkey did not give him any face at all! Since the donkey had run away, he naturally could not leave for the time being.
Gu Xijiu and Zhu Duqing looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other’s eyes. Zhu Duqing then looked at Di Fuyi.
Di Fuyi smirked and said, “Although it is a donkey, it did not want to be tortured by you. Please let it take a break.” They had no other choice for now.
Gu Xijiu sat on a big stone and meditated. She had to race against time to recover so that she could enter the poisonous swamp to capture the prized cure. She was sure that an intense battle would await her.
Zhu Duqing was also exhausted. He wanted to meditate but was afraid that Di Fuyi would bully him and turn him into firewood. Therefore, he opted to take a stroll nearby.
Di Fuyi sat there, and he took out a colorful golden pheasant from nowhere. The golden pheasant was very strange. Even though it was skinned of its feathers, its body was still multicolored. After he slaughtered the golden pheasant, he took out a sharpened bamboo and placed it there. He then grilled it on a fire.
