It was still the exact quagmire, but Di Fuyi had disappeared.

Without a second thought, she flew over and put her hands into the mud to pull him up. However, she did not retrieve anything except a handful of muddy water.

Her hands were empty, and her face changed. Did he escape from her dream? Or had he sunk to the bottom?

Her brain buzzed, and she almost lost her balance. She did hate him, but she could not see him die. She could not imagine that he would die because of her.

She calmed herself and took a deep breath before she shouted, "I decide my dream! If he has fallen into it, please make him come up!"

After a moment, bubbles were forming in the swamp, and soon after, Di Fuyi"s head slowly appeared. His eyes were closed and he was not sure if he was dead or alive.

Gu Xijiu rushed forward to pull him out! Di Fuyi lied motionless on the floor covered in mud. She squatted down and used a cleaning spell on him. She started with his face and could soon see his attractive features.

His face was pale, but thankfully, he still breathed. After all, he was The Lord. Once he was out of the quagmire, he recovered very quickly.

In just a few seconds, he opened his eyes and sat up. The two of them looked at each other for a moment before Di Fuyi said, "You…"

Gu Xijiu sighed in relief but still looked sad. After a while, she looked at him and said, "Di Fuyi, since I did not let you die, can you please cancel our engagement?"

Di Fuyi stared at her for a moment and responded with only one word, "Okay."

Gu Xijiu did not expect that he would agree with it so easily. She was slightly stunned and looked at him suspiciously.

Di Fuyi took a deep breath, stood up and said subtly, "Gu Xijiu, this body is yours, I hope you can take good care of it. After all, it was so difficult to obtain it. Well, let"s get out of here! You can"t solve anything if you keep avoiding it."

...

When Gu Xijiu opened her eyes, she saw that her fingers were still crossed with Di Fuyi"s fingers. The Love Bracelet on their wrists started to crack and turned into light spots which floated magically into the air. It faded and slowly disappeared.

She quickly withdrew her hand upon that sight. An overwhelming sense of relief hit her but deep down she felt empty as well. Gu Xijiu remembered that Di Fuyi used to tell her that this Love Bracelet represented the fate between them. When they wore the bracelets on their wrists, they could sense each other"s existence. When one party was in distress, the other party would immediately detect it. If one party died, the marriage bracelet would immediately break, and the other party would know about it. There was nothing that could be hidden from it.

There were two methods to break a Love Bracelet. One was the death of any one of them, and another condition was both of them willingly giving up their engagement. 


She thought that she would wear this bracelet for a lifetime and would love it forever. She never expected that she could only wear it for a short period. After all, it was not good to keep something that did not belong to you. 

Di Fuyi opened his eyes slightly later than Gu Xijiu. The first thing he saw was that the bracelets had disappeared. He stared at his wrist for a moment and finally got up. He looked at her and sighed. "We have canceled the engagement. You are free now. Xijiu, take care." He turned and left.
