Gu Xijiu's slow-improving condition had limited her power and abilities. There were many things that she simply could not do with such a limited level of spiritual power, so there was not much point of her returning home. This left her with no choice but to stay for another month.
For the past two months, Di Fuyi was always there. He took care of her and even went hunting for her so that she would not starve. Sometimes, he would guide her into a vortex so that she could absorb more spiritual energy. Since there were only two of them there, they would often talk to one another to pass the time.
It appeared that the man was genuinely there to meditate, too. When she went into a vortex to amass more spiritual energy, Di Fuyi would find himself another whirling mass of spiritual energy to meditate in as well. Nevertheless, he would always come out a little earlier than her, so she often found him standing in the distance while watching her with a crooked smile.
