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

38: Do you want to be this useless for the rest of your life?“No, I must be overthinking…”

After this thought popped into his mind, the old man shook his head again.

He believed that if someone had discovered him there, they would have come straight for him.

But now, after the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, there was still no movement from his location.

At this moment, the commotion in the city, as the Amethyst Winged Lion King flew away from above it, slowly subsided.

Thus, he dismissed his worries… “Are you full?”

In Mo City, on the balcony of a restaurant named Liyang Restaurant, Gu Fei looked at the Xiao Yi Xian opposite him with a slight smile.

“Mm! I’m full!”

Hearing this, the Xiao Yi Xian smiled and nodded, then took out a handkerchief she carried with her to wipe away some oil stains from the corner of her mouth.

Although the conversation between the two was extremely ordinary, it was precisely this ordinariness that indicated a progression in their relationship.

Now, their interactions no longer had the restraint they felt when they first met; everything was relaxed and casual, and this way of getting along was the most comfortable.

“Then, let’s go buy a map now!”

Gu Fei stood up and left the restaurant with the Xiao Yi Xian.

Next, Gu Fei and the Xiao Yi Xian walked through several streets in the city and soon arrived outside the quaint shop they had seen earlier.

The shop was named “Ancient Maps.” Unlike other shops that were luxurious and ostentatious, it subtly exuded an ancient Aura at first glance.

Gu Fei and the Xiao Yi Xian walked into the shop side by side. The interior of the shop was not too spacious, and the faint light from two moonstones illuminated it quite brightly. There weren’t many people buying maps inside, making it seem a bit deserted.

Gu Fei’s gaze swept around and finally settled on an old man behind the counter who was meticulously drawing a map with his head bowed.

This old man was clearly quite old, but although his hair was completely white, the hand holding the black pen was still steady and strong.

“It seems this person is Hai Bodong!”

Gu Fei smiled, thinking to himself, and did not go directly to the counter to inquire.

At this moment, Gu Fei’s Aura was restrained.

Even Hai Bodong, a former Dou Emperor powerhouse, could not perceive Gu Fei’s Aura.

Therefore, Gu Fei and the Xiao Yi Xian’s entry did not attract Hai Bodong’s attention.

Next, Gu Fei went alone to an ancient wooden shelf in the corner of the shop.

This wooden shelf was clearly very old, covered with holes from decaying wood.

On it, some yellowed maps were casually piled. Judging by the damaged marks on the surface of these maps, they seemed to be failed attempts at map-making.

And this was precisely Gu Fei’s target. He casually flipped through these yellowed maps with his palm, and a faint musty smell wafted towards him, making him frown slightly.

The next moment, Gu Fei picked up a stack of failed works and lightly shook his palm.

As he shook it, a damaged picture, only the size of a palm, suddenly fell from the stack of failed works.

“It’s here after all!”

Seeing the fallen demon fire remnant map, Gu Fei was not surprised; he had known all along.

The Purification Lotus Demon Flame demon fire remnant map, once fully assembled, could become a secret means to counter the Purification Lotus Demon Flame when the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame emerged.

“What is this? It looks like some kind of treasure map, but it’s severely incomplete!”

The Xiao Yi Xian glanced at the demon fire remnant map in Gu Fei’s hand, curious as to why Gu Fei would be holding such a thing.

“Haha, this is a good item!”

Gu Fei smiled, not explaining much, and instead took the demon fire remnant map to the counter and asked, “Elder, do you have any other demon fire remnant maps like this?”

Gu Fei knew that Hai Bodong had another demon fire remnant map. Back then, after obtaining the demon fire remnant map, he studied it for a long time without an answer, so he split his portion into two.

As Gu Fei’s words fell, the old man inside the counter finally stopped drawing the map and suddenly looked up.

His eyes were somewhat fierce, and there was a terrifying scar from his left cheek to the corner of his eye, which made the Xiao Yi Xian feel a little scared, and she subconsciously clutched Gu Fei’s sleeve.

“Don’t be afraid!”

Gu Fei noticed the Xiao Yi Xian’s action and gently stroked her head.

“Have you seen this kind of demon fire remnant map before?”

The old man asked in surprise.

[Hai Bodong experienced surprise, emotional value +80]

“Yes, I have seen it before. I wonder if the Elder would be willing to part with this treasure map and sell it to me?” Gu Fei smiled and nodded.

“No sale!”

The old man shook his head, his tone flat but with an undeniable finality.

“Elder, as long as you are willing to sell it, you can name any price!”

Although he was rejected by Hai Bodong, Gu Fei still did not give up.

He was determined to get this demon fire remnant map.

“Young man, stop thinking about my demon fire remnant map. I don’t care about money, and don’t even think about trying to snatch it. That wouldn’t do you any good!”

The old man inside the counter waved his hand and said indifferently. He didn’t seem to be afraid that Gu Fei would just take the demon fire remnant map in his hand and run away.

“Brother Gu Fei! Since the Elder is determined not to sell, let’s go!”

The Xiao Yi Xian said very simply. She did not want Gu Fei to have a conflict with the old man.

Moreover, in her opinion, Gu Fei would not do such a thing as snatching.

“Don’t worry, he will choose to sell…”

Hearing this, Gu Fei smiled at the Xiao Yi Xian, then turned to look at the old man: “You agree, don’t you, former Dou Emperor powerhouse!”

“Who exactly are you?”

As Gu Fei’s words fell, a fierce glint immediately appeared in the old man’s eyes inside the counter, and a powerful Aura permeated the air.

[Hai Bodong experienced shock and suspicion, emotional value +80]

“What’s going on?”

This sudden change made the Xiao Yi Xian a little surprised, but she was now aware of some of Gu Fei’s strength, so she was not flustered by it.

Gu Fei, on the other hand, emitted a warm Qi to protect the Xiao Yi Xian, preventing her from being affected by the bone-chilling Aura.

“Young man, I didn’t expect you to have some foundation.”

Seeing Gu Fei completely unaffected by his Aura, the white-haired old man couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

“So, Elder, what is your choice now?” Gu Fei nodded noncommittally and smiled.

“I said I wouldn’t sell it to anyone. If you intend to take it by force, then don’t blame this old man for bullying the young…”

The old man said indifferently, his white hair behind him moving without wind.

Icy battle Qi swirled around his body.

At this moment, the Xiao Yi Xian stood quietly to the side, not interrupting.

“What if I said I could undo the Seal in your body? Would you still not consider it?”

“Are you saying you want to be stuck in this small border town forever, being an ordinary shop owner selling maps?”
