"Stop, mussel!" Gu Xijiu took a leap and penetrated the wizardry barrier and then grabbed the mussel’s shell!
The mussel was stunned and did not dare to close its shell anymore. However, its eyes were still red and slowly turned into a little kid again and cried, "Master, they want to kill me! I’m going to eat them! They didn’t feed me; I’m so hungry! I’m starving, I don’t want to be a hungry ghost even if I have to die."
Gu Xijiu pulled away from the two students and then carried the little kid, "No dear, I won't let them kill you."
The little kid was still sad and crying, "But, but... you were there watching and didn’t stop them…"
"Mussel, trust me. All these are to clean our name, I won’t leave you alone." Gu Xijiu comforted it.
"Really?" The mussel doubted.
"It’s more real than real gold!"
Gu Xijiu bowed to The Lord after comforting the mussel, "My respectful Lord, is it possible for me to investigate this case by myself?"
