Chapter 2274: Come; Tell Me Who You Are!

Gu Xijiu examined the dead body and found a small bag- it was her storage bag, the best of its kind. There was a set of clothing in the bag which was entirely dark-colored, decorated with some green piping details at the edges. The color was not dull at all. In fact, it was glowing with the same luminescence as the fires of hell.

“Is this the Devil Quenching Clothing?” Gu Xijiu needed confirmation.

“Yes.”

Gu Xijiu examined the clothing carefully and realized something. She then took out another piece of clothing from her storage bag to make a comparison. It was the clothing that she had taken from Yun Yanli’s storeroom. It was hung appropriately with a great amount of care, so Gu Xijiu took it with her as she left. She did not know what it was back then, but she did now. It was the Devil Quenching Clothing!

Why did Yun Yanli keep this in his storeroom? Was he having some sort of business connection with the people from the Devil Kingdom?

“Can I enter the Shura Devil Kingdom freely with the help of this clothing?” Gu Xijiu asked the baby in her arms.

“You will need the Youth-Retaining Herb as well.”

Although it was rare, it was not impossible to obtain. People sold the herb in auctions. It was also used to make beauty products and served as a supplement to delay the process of aging. Gu Xijiu was finally relieved after finding out the way to get into the Devil Kingdom.

“Was she your mother?” Gu Xijiu asked the baby again.

Silently, the baby blinked his eyes, looking innocent.

“Don’t you lie to me. You did not call her your mother. You called her by her name instead.” Gu Xijiu wanted to know more. “Come; tell me who you are!”

The baby closed his eyes and avoided eye contact. His eyelashes were long and thick. Therefore, with his eyes closed, he looked unusually adorable. Normally, people would not put a baby in an awkward predicament, but Gu Xijiu was not like anyone else.

Determined, she put the baby under a tree and made herself clear. “You have refused to tell me the truth. Now, I refuse to take you with me.” She tidied up her dress and was ready to leave.

Panicked, the Silver Wolf quickly held onto Gu Xijiu’s dress and started purring softly. It was worried that Gu Xijiu might leave anytime. The Silver Wolf was obviously a crybaby. Knowing that it was not strong enough to stop Gu Xijiu from leaving, it started crying again.

Casually, Gu Xijiu turned around and gave the baby another look. She could see that he was anxious too, but was too arrogant to admit it. As soon as their eyes met, the baby turned his face away.

Amused, Gu Xijiu could not help but laugh at the baby’s childlike behavior. He was a baby, after all. She bent and took the Silver Wolf in her arms. “You are a very good boy. Will you come with me?” She started petting the wolf, very gently.

The Silver Wolf was overwhelmed by her kindness. It turned around to look at the baby and caught him looking back at it.

“Purr! Purr!” Attentively, the Silver Wolf gave Gu Xijiu a lick on her hand to please her. Then, it looked at the baby again. Needless to say, the Silver Wolf was telling her that it was ready to commit to the baby. If the baby stayed, it would stay behind with him.

With a sigh, Gu Xijiu gave it another pat before releasing it. “You really are a loyal friend. I will let you stay with your young master.” She put the Silver Wolf next to the baby and was ready to go.

“She was not my mother, only a servant,” the baby finally told the truth.

“What is your name? What do you have to do with the people from the Devil Kingdom?”

“Ever since I was born, I have been running from the people who want to kill me. I do not know who I actually am. I only know what Huan Feng told me along our journey here and nothing more.” He knew that he could no longer hide his ability to talk, so he decided to tell her what she needed to know.
