Gu Xijiu never turned back . She only waved him goodbye . “My prince, there is no need to escort me . Don't worry . I have no problem with your sister marrying him as long as it is something he wants to do . ”
Meng Wuya was speechless . He never thought that she knew about his plan all along . In the beginning, Gu Xijiu was just an accessory in his plan . He never actually cared about her . But watching her leave now finally made him confront his feelings .
“Little Jiu, I really like you,” he said to her, truthfully this time .
“Roar!” A sudden cry alarmed Meng Wuya .
He knew that someone must have hit the water and consequently triggered the devil spirits . He a.s.sumed that it must be someone fearless in the face of death .

All of a sudden, the water from above started to become clouded with bubbles . Chaotically, these Devil spirits started fleeing down from above, as if they had seen something utterly horrifying . Meanwhile, Gu Xijiu slowly made her way up, so the devil spirits from the bottom had to move upward to let her through . In an instant, the two opposing forces collided! Panicked, the devil spirits started fleeing in all directions from the chaos .
Meng Wuya did not know what to say, for he had never seen anything quite like this before . He had been in and out of the Soulless River many times, and there had never been an oddity in the spirits' behavior, apart from their ferocity .
Someone powerful must have caused the panic, but he had no idea who it could be . Nevertheless, his confusion was soon answered . Glimpses of purple light could be seen s.h.i.+ning through the dark water, like the sun in a heavily clouded sky . The ball of light was traveling down the water at an impressive pace .
Meng Wuya could not hold his astonishment any longer . The newcomer was Di Fuyi! He never thought that the man would find them here .

Because of the pace that he was traveling, it only took around a second for Di Fuyi to reach Gu Xijiu . Both of them were coming together from different directions, so they stopped abruptly to take a better look at one another . After a long sigh of relief, Di Fuyi went on to grasp her by the wrist . “Jiu!” He called out her name .
Gu Xijiu had to make a swift turn to avoid his hand . She s.h.i.+fted her body aside and asked, rather dully, “Why are you here?”
Di Fuyi was surprised by her lack of emotion .
He continued, “Good to see that you are doing fine . Let's talk when we get out . ”

The devil spirits were still circling in the dark water, so it was not the best place for them to talk . Gu Xijiu agreed, and with a nod, she continued to make her way up .
Initially, she wanted to talk to him in a quiet place after getting back on the sh.o.r.e . Their engagement had to be formally and peacefully dissolved, as there was no point in continuing the show . From then on, she wanted nothing to do with him, whether he chose to marry someone else or not .
She had to be firm in order to make Di Fuyi agree to her . After all, he was already dating the princess . She refused to be an unnecessary burden in their relations.h.i.+p . However, what happened onsh.o.r.e was completely out of her expectations .

The quiet riverside was no longer the way it was before . Mountains of people of different social cla.s.ses were all present by the river . As soon as she made her way out of the water, she immediately became the center of attention .
Gu Xijiu felt as though she was lost . What was happening? Was the Devil Kingdom hosting a major meeting by the river? There were some faces that she recognized – Yin Jiusi, the regent, Meng Liuqing, and Yin Mingzhu were standing among the crowd .
She looked around and caught something even more surprising . Two individuals with the least interest in the matters here in the Devil Kingdom were both present as well – Fan Qians.h.i.+ and Wu Qianyan . They were among the spectators staring at her fixedly like everyone else .
Fan Qians.h.i.+ was casually there to see what was about to unfold, but his face fell as soon as Gu Xijiu emerged from the water .
