Chapter 2037: Why Would They Say That I Am Old?

There was a wickedly sharp knife in her hand, and she twirled the blade playfully between her fingers. “Don’t worry. I am very experienced in slicing tongues. I can cut it off very swiftly, so you will feel less pain. What do you think? Pick one way or another,” she said with a note of sarcasm.

The men were utterly shocked. The offers were both unacceptable. The first option was thoroughly demeaning, but the second one would cause them to be disabled.

Before they could say anything, Gu Xijiu continued, “I am losing patience. There are only two choices. Should you refuse to choose, I will act on the second option on the count of ten. One, two, three, four…”

She counted quickly, urging them to make their decision. The five men did not want to be disabled, so they had to choose the first option, even though it was shameful. Therefore, the five men slapped their own faces a hundred times as punishment under Gu Xijiu’s supervision. Soon, all their faces were bruised. After the punishment, they also had to take an oath before they were allowed to leave.

Lu Wu was delighted but was not entirely satisfied. “Master, why don’t you just kill them?”

Gu Xijiu gently touched her face as she answered, “Do I look like a murderer to you?”

The men were only bad-mouthing her. They did not deserve to die because of verbal abuse. Moreover, they were the disciples of Master Fengxing. Although Di Fuyi no longer acknowledged him as his master, their bond should not be dismissed so lightly. If she killed them, she would definitely put Di Fuyi into a difficult position. To avoid that, she chose to give them a lesson instead.

Lu Wu was at a loss of words. It could not help but complain, “Master, I know what others don’t. You are only 230 years old. Your age is considerably young in their world. Why are you considered as an old woman? You should stop making yourself sound older than you actually are. The mussel has lived for a few thousand years. Following by their rules, shouldn’t it call itself as an old mussel, then?”

Gu Xijiu petted its head. “You are right! Even my Lu Wu knows how to tell what is right and what is wrong. I agree with you that I am still young. They are only too blind to see my beauty. How dare they refer to me as an old monstrous woman! Why would they say that I am old?”

She had a supple, graceful figure with the tender face of an 18-year-old. The celestial beings could easily be more than a thousand years old.

Shen Nianmo’s ten masters, for example, were all over a few thousand years old. Even some of their disciples, who had finished their apprenticeships, were already more than a thousand years old. However, even at the age of a thousand years, these men were still generally acknowledged as youngsters or young men.

She certainly did not deserve to be referred to as an old, monstrous woman at the age of merely two hundred years. It was not fair to her.

“Xijiu, you are only about 200 years old. I would not believe it if I did not hear it from you!” A voice could be heard coming from afar, behind a rock.

Hesitantly, Gu Xijiu’s eyes searched for the source of the sound and found a small, man-like rock behind a huge boulder. “Yun Yanli, I see that you are here as well.”

The small rock shook a little. With a glimpse of light, the rock turned instantaneously into a young man of pale colored robes, with handsome and elegant features. He was Yun Yanli.

He took big steps and approached Gu Xijiu delightfully. “It is a small world, after all. Xijiu, here we meet again!”

She certainly had not expected to bump into an old friend. “What a coincidence! Why are you here?” Gu Xijiu was happy to see him as well.

After a little chat, Gu Xijiu found out that he was here because of the rare majestic being.
