Chapter 216: When Are You Getting Married?



"No matter how difficult it is, I will find a way to gather those ancient jade pieces and bring you out of here, Father!" Zi Yan stubbornly declared.

She had finally found her father, discovered he was still alive. How could she just stand by and watch him suffer in this dark, desolate place?

"Zi Yan, I believe that day will come too!" Gu Fei, holding her small hand, softly reassured her.

'Sigh...' The Old Dragon Emperor let out a deep sigh.

In the current Dou Qi continent, the path to becoming a God was severed. If someone could reach the Dou God level, they could naturally break the seal left by the Ancient God, Tuo She. But without that power, it was nearly impossible to overpower the eight ancient clans and seize the ancient god's jade. Even at its peak, the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe couldn't have managed it.

"Zi Yan, how is the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe doing now?" Zhu Kun suddenly asked about another matter that deeply concerned him.DiiScôver new stories on no/v/e()/lbin(.)c/o/m

After all, the strength of the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe would be crucial if Zi Yan intended to gather the ancient god's jade.

"Marry?" Gu Fei was stunned by his words. Beside him, Zi Yan's cheeks turned rosy. "Father, what are you saying..."

"Hehe, getting shy now, are we? You two have been holding hands since you got here, always so close. That's hardly how ordinary friends behave. Marriage is only a matter of time!" Zhukun teased.

"It's not like that... Father, Brother Gu Fei... he already has a wife..." Zi Yan explained shyly. "Hmm?" Hearing this, Zhukun's expression shifted slightly, his smile stiffening. He hadn't expected Gu Fei to already be married. However, he didn't get angry. Judging by Zi Yan's behavior, Zhukun could tell that his daughter was deeply fond of Gu Fei. In Zi Yan's heart, Gu Fei might even hold a higher place than her own father.

"Senior, Zi Yan and I..." Gu Fei started to explain, but Zhukun cut him off sternly.

"Young man, since you've won my daughter's heart, you must take responsibility for it! No matter what happens, you must never let Zi Yan be hurt. Otherwise..." The Old Dragon Emperor's tone was commanding as he imposed a massive pressure on Gu Fei. Even with his current three-star Dou Saint strength, Gu Fei couldn't resist this pressure at all.

"What are you doing!" Seeing this, Zi Yan immediately jumped in front of Gu Fei, glaring angrily at Zhu Kun.

Under Zi Yan's glare, Zhu Kun quickly retracted the pressure. "Gu Fei, perhaps I was a bit hasty just now... But you should understand, what father doesn't want his child to be happy?" "I understand, Senior," Gu Fei responded calmly, not holding any resentment. He could understand Zhukun's actions. Moreover, his words made Gu Fei start to seriously consider his own feelings. Did he really see Zi Yan as just a friend? If one day, Zi Yan were to marry another man, could he truly accept it?

[Author's Note]: I noticed a reader has commented a few times with the same content, suggesting that the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe was very powerful in ancient times, unlike the current situation where there's a power gap without top-tier experts between four and eight stars. They mentioned that most were traveling in the void and could be brought back to make the clan strong again, like the Hun Clan or the Gu Clan. I'm a bit confused about this. Could that reader share where they got this information, maybe with screenshots or references? I'm also asking here so other readers can weigh in and confirm if such settings exist. [Translator's Note]: Kept the Author's note since it explains why the author didn't include the reclusive Dragon Tribe experts spread across the empty realm in the unification fight-he simply didn't know about them. Otherwise Zi Yan wouldn't have to delay as much as she did here in this fic- those old experts are extremely loyal to the royal bloodline and only left the Tribe to look for the Old Dragon Emperor.)
