Gu Shi Yi blinked repeatedly, then nodded heavily and said,
"I've thought it through. Thank you for your kindness, Tianyu King, but I truly cannot comply!"
The Tianyu King finally understood, his brows furrowed tightly, and after a moment he said,
"Gu Shi Yi, are you forcing me to kill you to cut off my heart demon?"
"Well..."
Gu Shi Yi chuckled awkwardly,
"Um... can we negotiate? Actually, we're not that familiar in the first place, there's no need for us to fight to the death, making it a bloody mess, that's not a good look... how about this... you don't kill me, and I won't go with you to the upper realm; you pretend not to know me, I pretend not to know you, we just part without leaving a trace in the clouds, how about that?"
The Tianyu King stared at Gu Shi Yi for a long time, then suddenly let go and said coldly,
"Don't think about escaping. I will come back for you!"
With that, he turned into a shadowy figure and disappeared into thin air...
