Chapter 217: The Hun Clan's Revenge!
'No... I can't accept it if that day ever comes...'
'And besides, Ziyan's feelings for me didn't just start recently. I already understood her intentions when she asked Xian Yue to call her 'Auntie' back then...'
Gu Fei was lost in thought, recalling the journey he had shared with Ziyan. They had been through so much together, helping each other along the way. He had already seen Ziyan's body completely. As a man, how could he let the woman take the initiative to break the silence?
Gu Fei's gaze became firm. The next moment, he turned to Ziyan, naturally took her fair hand, and seriously asked, "Ziyan, would you be willing to be my woman?"
"Ah..."
Ziyan was stunned when Gu Fei's words fell. It seemed like she didn't immediately grasp what had just happened. How many times had she tried to muster the courage to say these words to Gu Fei herself? She never expected that Gu Fei would be the one to say it first.
In an instant, immense joy surged within Ziyan's heart. "I... I am willing!"U//ppTodated fr/o/m nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)\/m
Ziyan nodded excitedly, unable to hide the joy on her face. She then threw herself into Gu Fei's arms, resting her head on his chest. Gu Fei also opened his arms and held her tightly.
"Ahem! Ahem!"
Zhu Kun, watching the scene, felt both happy for his daughter's newfound happiness and a sense of helplessness, like watching his cherished daughter being taken away. Hearing Zhu Kun's cough, Ziyan awkwardly pulled away from Gu Fei.
"Senior, I, Gu Fei, will never let Ziyan down in this life..." Gu Fei solemnly promised Zhukong.
"You're still calling me 'Senior'?"
Zhu Kun said with some displeasure.
"Father-in-law!"
"Alright, take this spatial jade slip with you!" Gu Fei nodded silently, handing her a spatial jade slip he had crafted.
Before leaving, Gu Fei also prepared over a hundred bottles of candy pills for her.
"So many! Brother Gu Fei, you're the best!" Ziyan said joyfully, unable to resist planting a kiss on Gu Fei's cheek, leaving a red lip mark.
"Did this kid win Ziyan over with just a few candy pills?" Zhu Kun thought to himself, smiling as he watched the harmonious interaction between the two.
"I'm off!"
"Father-in-law, we'll wait for you to come out and personally host our wedding..." Gu Fei said, bidding farewell to Ziyan and Zhu Kun as he left the quiet Ancient God's space alone. (TL/n: More like he doesn't want to be the Dragon Queen. XD)
...
In the Eastern Region, all the sects and forces revered the Gu Clan as the supreme authority. But recently, things have become quite turbulent. Many sects had been massacred without a trace, not even a single survivor. Even some of the Gu Clan experts who went to investigate had mysteriously disappeared.
This incident caught the attention of several Gu Clan elders. Not long after returning to the Gu Realm, Gu Fei also heard of the situation.
"Gu Fei, are you saying that the Hun Clan is behind these events?"
On the mountain peak where Gu Fei resided, the powerful figures from the older generation, including Gu Xiong and Gu Nanhai, were drinking tea with him in a pavilion while discussing
the matter.
"Most likely. The Hun Clan lost face in the Gu Realm last time, so this could be their way of retaliating." Gu Fei nodded.
"One of the sects targeted had a sect leader with a peak Dou Venerate level, yet there were no signs of resistance. The person who attacked must have been at least at a Dou Saint, making the Hun Clan the prime suspect!"
"How dare they cause trouble in the Eastern Region? I'll make sure they never return!" Gu Xiong roared in anger, eager to find and tear the culprits from the Hun Clan to pieces.
