Perhaps Fan Qians.h.i.+ was numb from sitting down too long . He could not keep his balance as he stood up and fell right into Gu Xijiu's arms . She quickly supported him by the waist to help him stand up straight .

Fan Qians.h.i.+ was mesmerized by her captivating scent that one could only notice when in close proximity to her . It was as refres.h.i.+ng as the sweet morning dew . Back in the day when Gu Xijiu taught him kung fu, they would get close enough with each other for him to get a whiff of her scent . He missed that .

Gu Xijiu had been pus.h.i.+ng him away for some time now, so he never had the chance to get close to her again . Hence, the proximity this time around stirred his restless heart, making him reluctant to leave .

Gu Xijiu wanted to let go of him but noticed that his body was slanted to one side . Puzzled, she continued to support him .

Fan Qians.h.i.+ was happy to be with her . However, he looked away for a moment and caught Di Fuyi staring at him . With a smirk, Di Fuyi looked at him as if he knew what the boy was thinking .

Defensively, Fan Qians.h.i.+ felt an urge to keep away from the man . “Master, shall we go?”

Gu Xijiu refused to stay any longer, either . “Let's go . ”

“Divine Lord, I have something to say . ” Di Fuyi approached Gu Xijiu to speak to her .

“Hmm?”

Di Fuyi gazed at her intently before continuing, “Divine Lord, I would like to thank you for your help . You have misled him to think that your power has been deteriorated, thus luring him one step closer into the trap and exposing his crimes . You have done a great deal for the Monster Kingdom, so I would like to invite you to stay for a feast . ”

“Divine Lord, I heard that you are the one who came up with the plan, which, in turn, provides me with an opportunity to rebuild my family's legacy . I, Tu Shanying, would like to thank you for your kindness . ” The Nine-Tailed Fox gracefully approached Gu Xijiu and bowed before her as a token of appreciation . “Divine Lord, would you care to stay for a feast? Your presence will be a blessing for the people of the Monster Kingdom . ”

With such an invitation, there was no room for rejection . Gu Xijiu thought about their invitations and could immediately understand that it was yet another plan from Di Fuyi to achieve two things in one go . Firstly, the fact about the deterioration of her power should remain a secret . He made it public that they were joint forces so that no one would have any doubts about the condition of her health . Secondly, he was trying to make her choose a side . As the creator of the universe, her recognition was needed to help Tu Shanying become the next ruler of the Monster Kingdom .

Being the most respected figure on earth, her recommendation would come in handy if Tu Shanying chose to ascend the throne . Hence, Di Fuyi's plan was perfect for both intentions . Her secret would remain a secret, while Tu Shanying would take control of the kingdom .

Nonetheless, Gu Xijiu did not like the plan very much . She did not like it when someone became too calculative about her involvement . She also refused to taste the fruit of someone else's success .

Moreover, she barely knew Tu Shanying . In fact, she did not know Di Fuyi any better either . She did not even know the man's real name .

All things considered, she gave them a polite smile as she rejected their invitation . “Thank you, but a feast is not something I fancy . ”

She immediately drew a line between both parties . Clearly, she had no intention to side Tu Shanying . She glanced at Tu Shanying, who now looked slightly pale at the rejection . With a gentle tap on her shoulder, Gu Xijiu politely said, “There is no need for you to feel dejected . I will always help those who are capable and honorable . Perhaps we will get a chance to sit down for a drink, someday . ”

She did not look at Di Fuyi again before she swiftly teleported away along with Fan Qians.h.i.+ .
