Venerated Venomous Consort
chapter-988

Di Fuyi was moved. Could she tell the fragrance of his soul? His soul had a different scent at each stage of his life. His scent would also differ according to the level of his spiritual power, but most people could not easily tell the difference.

He used to disguise himself using different identities. He purposely used his spiritual power to seal up his identities so that other people would not be able to recognize him. However, none of his transformations had ever significantly differed from his true identity. All the scent of his different disguises remained more or less the same.

Fortunately, Gu Xijii's knowledge in metaphysics was not profound. Otherwise, she would have easily recognized him by his scent. The ability to differentiate the scent of a soul was scarce, and the chances that someone was capable of doing so were one in a million. He did not expect her to be one of the talented ones.

Di Fuyi blinked his eyes in response to her speculation, "Do I smell of milk now that I have turned younger?"

Gu Xijiu did not know how to answer. How could he possibly say such a thing? She looked at his long, thick eyelashes and smile, "Do you think that you are a baby?"

Di Fuyi slouched in her arms, "That could be the reason."

Gu Xijiu was now a mature woman, and her chest was no longer flat. Di Fuyi accidentally came into contact with her lower breast when he tried to snuggle his head into her arms, and he immediately froze. Gu Xijiu quickly shifted away to keep out of his reach.

Although he had the appearance of a child, his mindset was as mature as a teenager. Gu Xijiu did not wish to be taken advantage of by him.

Still, Di Fuyi behaved himself and quickly apologized to her with a reddened face, "I am sorry."

Gu Xijiu glanced at him. She had assumed that he was trying to take advantage of her, but quickly dismissed the idea at the thought of his behavior for the past six months. He did not seem like a filthy teenager.

She was a little guilty at the assumption. She shook her head as she accepted his apology, "It is fine."

Di Fuyi pursed his lips, "Are you not offended?"

Was she taking the barrier between men and women too lightly? After all, she was already taken and was currently the fiancée of Di Fuyi. However, she was now holding another man in her arms instead.

She did not know that the 'another man' that she was holding onto was, in fact, Di Fuyi.

Di Fuyi was uncomfortable with the fact that she did not mind to be so close to someone else. Gu Xijiu had no idea about the contemplations that were going on in his head. She replied with a casual air, "I do care, but you are a friend of mine, and you did not intend to take advantage of me. I could not possibly hit you to work off my frustration. Moreover, it would be impossible for your little body to endure the impact anyway. I can only dismiss it, as I cannot take back what you just did."

That must be the reason why she was so calm. She had always been very generous towards her friends.

Di Fuyi fixed his gaze on her, "I will take responsibility for my actions,"

Gu Xijiu frowned, "Responsibility?"

"I will marry you," said Di Fuyi.

She pursed her lips and immediately pushed him away from her arms. She then stood up and entered the carriage, "I feel that we should keep our distance. You can maneuver the carriage yourself."

Di Fuyi was speechless as she had just rejected him right in his face.

He sighed as he thought about his action. The opportunity that he had been working so hard to get had finally come at last, but he had allowed it to slip away so easily. If he continued acting like this, she would most probably not touch him again.

In fact, he was quite satisfied just to be held in her arms. However, even if she were not tired of carrying him in her arms, he would feel a little effeminate about himself if it continued this way.

He looked down at his own body and slapped his temple pathetically. His body had been going through a lot lately, and he had never encountered such a situation before.
