Chapter 2596: A Fight Between Father And Son
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Xijiu finally pieced everything together and learned his ultimate identity. He was the master of the heavenly law!
Her last mission was to find the reincarnation of the master of heavenly law and give the bracelet to him. The truth was, Shen Nianmo was the reincarnation of the master of heavenly law. In other words, Di Fuyi was the same person.
In her dream, she was sure that one of the two men playing the game must be Di Fuyi, but she had no idea about the other one. The dream was all but a blur to her. She could hardly remember any of it, not even the face of the man in black. She could not help but wonder if the man was Zhu Duqing.
She took another look at Di Fuyi and was amazed that the man before him was the most powerful man of the universe – the man who guarded the heavenly law and the laws of the universe. Apparently, he knew nothing about his powerful background.
It was a miracle to be so madly and irrevocably in love with the master of the heavenly law. She wanted to say something but was immediately stopped by the Firmament Stone. “Master, say no more!”
Trusting the Firmament Stone, she decided to keep quiet. She knew exactly what the warning was about. She and Di Fuyi were finally together again after going through so many obstacles. If she went against the heavenly law and spilled the secret, she could be doomed to another endless cycle of painful punishments.
Di Fuyi was smart enough to figure out her concern just by taking one look at her expression. He knew that there was something that she could not share. Moreover, he could read the Firmament Stone’s messages in her head. He was curious but asked nothing more.
He was once a Lord, so he knew the consequences of going against the heavenly law. He did not care before because he was not concerned about anything. Things were different now that he had found someone that he truly cared about.
The woman next to her was one that he could not risk losing. He could not risk jeopardizing their future just to satisfy a moment of curiosity. He had a lot of time to find out more about it, anyway. As long as they were together, there was nothing he could not solve.
“Xijiu, don’t say it if you don’t feel comfortable.” Di Fuyi then put a piece of meat on her plate and continued, “Here, have some fish. It has the nutrients you need to help the baby grow better.”
Every bone had been carefully removed from the fish, so it looked thoroughly appetizing. Di Hao was innocently looking at Di Fuyi from the side. “Father, I want some fish, too.”
Di Fuyi did not even look at him. Instead, he moved the plate of fish and placed it right in front of the boy. “Have some.”
Di Hao was speechless.
“I am afraid of getting choked by the bones,” Di Hao sounded naïve and guileless.
“Remove the bones, then. Stupid! Do you need me to tell you how to do it?”
Astonished, Di Hao did not know what to say. Di Fuyi promised to love him as his own child and treat him very kindly and lovingly. Why would a father refuse to remove the bones for his little child?
Di Hao now realized that Gu Xijiu was the most important person to Di Fuyi. Saddened, he was only a boy that was very much neglected. He turned away and looked at Gu Xijiu with the same innocent face. “Mother.”
Before Gu Xijiu said anything, Di Fuyi was already interrupting him, “Don’t try to play innocent. It is the worst form of appeal. As a boy, you should be independent and be responsible for your own needs. You should take care of yourself.”
Di Fuyi then shared how Shen Jiuli used to teach him. He was happy to use the lesson against the child this time.
Di Hao was clearly disappointed. He was miraculously a boy again, and yet he was not allowed to act cute. He thought of Di Fuyi as an unfriendly father and disliked his sternness. Nevertheless, Di Hao started to sort out the fish himself. Carelessly, he accidentally cut himself with the fish bones, and the tip of his finger started bleeding.
