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

117: The Yan Clan envoy has arrived, the girl Huo Zhi!“It’s been three months! Big Brother Gu Fei’s seclusion this time is really long!”

Inside the Bamboo House, Xiao Yi Xian, Qing Lin, and others were all worried about Gu Fei.

Gu Fei had said that he needed to go and subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flame, which would require him to Cultivate in seclusion for a period.

Subduing an abnormal flame was inherently extremely dangerous, and with Gu Fei gone for so long without returning, they were worried that something unexpected might have happened to him during the process of subduing it.

“Don’t worry, the Three Thousand Burning Flame is just a trifle. Isn’t it easy for Big Brother Gu Fei to deal with?”

“He must have obtained some Opportunity, which is why it’s taking so long.”

Zi Yan looked at the Xiao Yi Xian’s worried expression and spoke to comfort her.

Immediately, she also extended her hand, and on her palm, there was a Dragon Seal that similarly glowed with golden light.

Her Dragon Seal and Gu Fei’s Dragon Seal were connected, and through this Dragon Seal, she could constantly know Gu Fei’s physical condition. Seeing the Dragon Seal flash with golden light, Gu Fei didn’t seem to be in danger.

“Let’s hope so!” Xiao Yi Xian clasped her hands together in front of her chest, silently praying for Gu Fei.

Just at this moment, waves of spatial fluctuations suddenly emerged, and Zi Yan abruptly raised her head, her eyes filled with brilliance.

The source of the spatial fluctuations was precisely where Gu Fei would appear.

“You’re finally back! I’ve been suffering so much while you were gone, all my Medicinal Pills are finished… Sister Xiao Yi Xian was also very worried about you.”

Upon hearing Zi Yan’s words, Xiao Yi Xian immediately opened her eyes and, as she wished, saw the person she had been longing for.

“I made you all worry.”

Gu Fei walked to Xiao Yi Xian’s side, gently embraced her, and then patted Zi Yan’s little head.

“To express my apology, I’ll refine some more Medicinal Pills for you, alright?”

Upon hearing Gu Fei’s words, Zi Yan showed a satisfied expression and pulled Qing Lin away to play elsewhere.

“Why did it take so long?” Xiao Yi Xian looked at Gu Fei worriedly, but he didn’t seem to be in any trouble.

“The Three Thousand Burning Flame was more powerful than I imagined. Although I successfully subdued it, I encountered some problems during the absorption process.”

“The restless abnormal flame energy must be absorbed with extreme caution, otherwise, it’s very possible to play with fire and get burned. Fortunately, persistence pays off, and the gains it brought me are equally substantial.”

After Gu Fei finished speaking, he slightly released his Dou Qi. Xiao Yi Xian felt the immense Dou Qi and knew that he had become much more powerful than before, though she didn’t know what Realm he had reached.

“Four-star Dou Zun! Sometimes I really envy Geniuses like you.”

An old voice sounded behind Xiao Yi Xian, and the newcomer was none other than Venerable Skyfire.

Gu Fei looked at Venerable Skyfire and found that his strength had already reached Six-star Dou Zun. Clearly, he had already consumed the Eighth Grade Pill Gu Fei had given him and fully absorbed it.

“Congratulations, Senior Yao, on recovering your strength.”

Gu Fei congratulated Venerable Skyfire.

Venerable Skyfire smiled bitterly, saying, “This old man has Cultivated for countless years to this day, and is only a Six-star Dou Zun. You, at such a young age, are already a Four-star, it truly makes this old man feel ashamed…”

During these three months, not only did Venerable Skyfire recover his strength, but Xiao Yi Xian and the others also made progress in their cultivation.

After this, Gu Fei adapted to the newly acquired abnormal flame for a bit, then directly challenged the fifth commander of the Black Annihilation Army.

On that day, Gu Fei, with his Four-star Dou Zun cultivation, defeated a Six-star Dou Zun, astonishing everyone and becoming the new fifth commander of the Black Annihilation Army… “Is this the Ancient World?”

At the edge of the Ancient World, a rift appeared out of thin air, and four figures entered through the rift, descending into the Ancient World.

“The heaven and earth energy here is even richer than in our Yan Realm. The Gu Clan’s foundation is indeed deeper than ours.”

An Elder couldn’t help but exclaim.

“I, however, feel that the energy of the Yan Realm is more comfortable.”

A clear female voice sounded. The speaker was a Young Miss.

The Young Miss appeared to be in her teens, with long fiery red hair accentuating her graceful figure. Her beautiful face carried a faint hint of coldness, and on her forehead was a flame mark.

These people all came from the Yan Clan, one of the Ancient Eight Clans.

And this time, besides the red-clothed Young Miss, the other three were all Dou Sheng cultivators, Elders of the Yan Clan.

“Huo Zhi, we are guests. This is not our Ancient World, so speak politely.” An Elder reminded the Young Miss.

The Young Miss was about to say something else when several figures suddenly appeared before them.

“Welcome, Yan Clan delegation, to our Ancient World! Elder Huo Yao, long time no see!”

Gu Nanhai and several Gu Clan Elders appeared. They had been waiting here after learning that the Yan Clan envoys were coming.

“Hahaha, it’s Elder Gu Nanhai, greetings!”

The Yan Clan Elder, called Huo Yao, responded.

“Everyone, please enter the Ancient World. This old man will host a welcoming feast for you all.”

Gu Nanhai made a gesture of invitation, leading the Yan Clan Elders into the depths of the Ancient World.

Here, there was a grand hall specifically for guests, and several other Elders were waiting inside the hall.

After Gu Nanhai invited the Yan Clan members to take their seats, the Gu Clan members also sat down one after another.

The prepared dishes were served at this moment. Although those at their Realm no longer needed to eat, the necessary courtesies still had to be observed.

Huo Zhi sat at the last seat of the Yan Clan, her gaze constantly scrutinizing the Gu Clan members present.

She specifically looked at those close to her age, or only a few years older. After a quick scan, her already cold demeanor became even more disdainful.

There were many young Gu Clan members present, but not a single one could earn a direct look from her.

“Are these the young people of the Gu Clan? They’re nothing special… I hope you’re not among these people.”

Huo Zhi thought to herself, retracting her gaze.

At the banquet, after some polite exchanges, Gu Nanhai spoke, “Elders of the Yan Clan, you have come from afar. May I ask the purpose of your visit?”

The Yan Clan Elders exchanged glances upon hearing this, and one of them spoke, “Heh heh, we indeed have a matter to discuss this time…”

“Elder Huo Yao, please speak freely.”

Gu Nanhai said courteously.

“It is said that your Gu Clan Prodigy, Gu Fei, has already separated from Young Miss Xun’er. Is this true or false?”

Gu Nanhai’s previously smiling expression froze upon hearing the Yan Clan Elder’s words.

They say family shame should not be aired, but now this family shame had already spread to the Yan Clan.

“It’s merely a farce between two young people. You and I have lived for countless years, are we still curious about such things?”

Gu Nanhai did not answer directly.

But the Yan Clan Elder did not back down, directly saying, “Please, Elder Huo Yao, speak plainly.”

Seeing that he couldn’t avoid it, Gu Nanhai could only say, “Indeed… this matter is true.”

The Yan Clan Elder smiled slightly upon seeing this and said, “Since Gu Fei and Young Miss Xun’er have already separated, why not arrange another marriage for Young Master Gu Fei…?”

Their purpose in coming here was to forge a marriage alliance with the Gu Clan, wanting to marry the Young Miss Huo Zhi to Gu Fei. Huo Zhi was a Prodigy of the Gu Clan.
