Dou Po: I married my wife Xun Er, but she refused to consummate the marriage!

3: Seventh grade alchemy technique!”What place do I, your husband, hold in your heart?”

”We are already married, yet you cannot restrain your own heart!”

Gu Fei’s voice was low and grim.

Xun’er looked up, staring at the indifferent Gu Fei.

She wanted to explain, but she couldn’t find the words.

In many ways, Gu Fei was right.

Since she was married, she should have naturally kept her distance from other men.

However, she had been far too willful, never considering Gu Fei’s feelings at all.

Or rather, it wasn’t that she hadn’t considered them.

It was that she had never cared.

[Ding! Xun’er is experiencing panic and emotional collapse. Emotion Points +300.]

”Enough. There’s no need to say more. Let’s just get a divorce!”

”Since you are unwilling to give your body to me, I will set you free!”

Gu Fei looked at Xun’er calmly, his voice devoid of any emotion.

”I...”

Xun’er opened her mouth, almost blurting out, ”I can give my body to you.”

But the words died in her throat for certain reasons.

”Am I really so unworthy of your trust?”

Seeing Gu Fei’s look of determination, Xun’er’s face turned pale, and her heart ached.

[Ding! Xun’er is experiencing sadness, pain, and shame. Emotion Points +300.]

”What part of you is worthy of my trust?”

Gu Fei countered.

”I... I...”

Xun’er’s mind seemed to short-circuit, unable to form a complete sentence for a long time.

”Fine... let’s part on good terms and not embarrass each other. I’ll move out tonight...”

Gu Fei had no desire to entangle himself with Xun’er any further. Leaving those words behind, he turned to walk downstairs.

This residence belonged to Xun’er.

Previously, Gu Fei had deferred to Xun’er in everything. Thus, even after they married, when Xun’er said she wanted to stay in her own residence, Gu Fei had agreed without hesitation.

Now that things had reached this point, there was naturally no reason for Gu Fei to stay.

”No... no! You are my husband, you can’t leave me!”

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Xun’er quickly turned and spoke stubbornly to Gu Fei.

”Since you won’t let me go, let me ask you: will you consummate our marriage tonight?”

Hearing Xun’er’s words, Gu Fei frowned, his eyes filled with an indescribable disgust as he asked one last time.

”I...”

Xun’er was speechless.

She had thought about this before.

It was just that she wasn’t ready yet.

”Enough. Tomorrow morning, I will go to the Clan Chief and explain the situation...”

This time, Gu Fei’s steps out of the bamboo building were firm. No matter how much Xun’er tried to make him stay, he didn’t stop for a single step... By now, it was late, and night had blanketed the land. Cool moonlight poured down from the sky, draping the entire mountain range in a faint silver veil.

In the center of the mountain range, clusters of palaces rose and fell in succession.

Under the moonlight, they looked like ancient beasts, exuding a hint of primordial aura.

Meanwhile, Gu Fei stood alone on a peak far away from those ancient palaces.

At this moment, the surroundings were exceptionally quiet, as tranquil as Gu Fei’s heart.

”From now on, I will never waste all my energy trying to please Xun’er again.”

Gu Fei let out a long breath, feeling a sense of relief and comfort.

This peak held his residence from before the marriage. Speaking of which, he hadn’t been here for half a year.

As he walked slowly toward his residence, Gu Fei began to contemplate his plans for the future.

This was the Fighting Qi Continent, where the ultimate lifelong wish of countless people was to become a legendary Dou Emperor. Gu Fei was no exception.

Ten years ago, Gu Fei had activated the Emotion Upgrade System, which allowed him to advance from a person of ordinary talent to a current Prodigy of the Gu Clan.

Emotion Upgrade System!

The System’s function was simple.

Gu Fei could collect Emotion Points by directly or indirectly stimulating emotional fluctuations in people with high Luck.

(Handled in s52)

These Emotion Points could then be used to upgrade his various abilities.

In this world, almost everyone with great Luck was someone around Xiao Yan. As the ”future” Flame Emperor, Xiao Yan’s Luck naturally far exceeded that of ordinary people.

Aside from Xiao Yan, most others with great Luck were concentrated in the Northwest Continent.

In previous years, Gu Fei’s attention had been almost entirely focused on Xun’er.

To bring Xun’er back to the Gu Clan, he had cultivated extremely hard within the Ancient World. Combined with the fact that some in the Gu Clan also possessed minor Luck, Gu Fei was able to make rapid progress.

However, the difference in Emotion Points gained from stimulating someone with low Luck versus high Luck was vast.

For example, directly or indirectly stimulating an ordinary person might only yield 0.1 or 0.5 Emotion Points, whereas stimulating someone with high Luck like Xun’er could yield several hundred.

Therefore, to collect more Emotion Points, Gu Fei needed to gather the lucky individuals of the Fighting Qi Continent together.

[Emotion Points: 4,000]

In the next moment, a panel that only Gu Fei could see appeared before his eyes.

Gu Fei remembered that before he proposed the divorce to Xun’er, his Emotion Points were just over two thousand. Now, they had reached four thousand.

”I’ve saved up Emotion Points for so long; it’s time to upgrade my attributes!”

The thought flashed through Gu Fei’s mind.

The attribute panel instantly appeared before him.

[Host: Gu Fei]

[Age: 16]

[Cultivation: Seven-Star Dou Zong]

[Aptitude: Level 101 (90-100 is Ten-Star Dou Emperor Bloodline Aptitude)]

[Physique: Level 78 (Comparable to the Physique of a Late Stage Rank Seven Emperor-Grade Bloodline Demonic Beast)]

[Soul: Spiritual Realm Early Stage]

[Cultivation Technique: Great Flame Heart Sutra (Heaven Rank Elementary)]

[Dou Techniques: Flame Devouring Cage (Earth Rank Advanced), Sun Finger (Earth Rank Intermediate), Heavenly Star Steps (Earth Rank Advanced Movement Dou Skill)...]

[Alchemy: Rank Six]

The System panel was very concise, and Gu Fei was very familiar with it.

”System, upgrade Alchemy!”

Gu Fei issued a command to the System.

[Ding! Host’s current Alchemy Rank is Six. Upgrading to Rank Seven requires 3,999 Emotion Points. Beginning upgrade now.]

*Buzz!*

In the next instant, a massive amount of information flooded into Gu Fei’s mind.

Knowledge regarding Alchemy took root and stabilized within his brain.

The study of Alchemy was vast and profound.

Even what the System had input into his mind was just the tip of the iceberg.

Gu Fei carefully browsed the alchemical knowledge in his head, completely immersed in it.

He naturally knew how difficult it was to become a top-tier Alchemist.

But with the System in hand, who could say he wouldn’t become an Alchemist who could stir the winds and clouds of the entire continent in the future?

He was completely absorbed in the System panel. Furthermore, since he was currently on the peak where his residence was located, Gu Fei didn’t pay attention to the outside world.

Not far away, a beautiful Gu Clan girl stood there, quietly watching Gu Fei.
