I am an incredibly handsome man, and my fiancée refuses to call off the engagement even at the cost

As those burning gazes fell upon him, Gu Yan realized something was wrong. He put his veil back on, slipped to the audience seats, and pulled the still-dazed Xie Wan'er along, intending to leave with her. Unexpectedly, a figure immediately blocked his way.

The person who stopped him was Song Qi. Song Qi's eyes were greedy, but he barely maintained his composure and cupped his hands towards Gu Yan: "Fairy Lin, my junior sister was rude just now. I apologize to you on her behalf. Please don't take it to heart, Fairy Lin."

"I didn't take it to heart."

After Gu Yan finished speaking, he pulled Xie Wan'er to leave, but as soon as he turned around, Song Qi stopped him again: "I admire the magnanimity of the fairy. However, my Wood Spirit Palace is not unreasonable. How about the fairy gives me a chance to apologize? I am willing to serve as the fairy's guard for ten thousand years."

"No need, thank you."

"A fairy!"

"Get out of the way!"

Gu Yan was displeased to see him pestering her; this guy was clearly lusting after her and wanted to keep bothering her.

"Fellow Daoist, this fairy doesn't want you to pester her. You're making a fool of yourself."

A blond man in a black robe stepped out from the crowd and blocked Gu Yan's path. After he stepped forward, the others rushed to her aid. Gu Yan's true appearance had just been revealed, causing countless men and women present to fall in love at first sight. Now, seeing Song Qi entangled with her, they acted rashly, disregarding their own cultivation levels, and jumped out without thinking.

Song Qi was furious: "Get out of the way!"

As he unleashed his Golden Immortal aura, the space trembled violently. The oppressive force made many people tremble. Those with lower cultivation levels turned ashen-faced under this pressure. The first blond man to jump out even had blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, but the thought of the beauty watching from the side gave him a surge of courage.

Even if I were to die here, it would be worth it to be remembered by Fairy Lin.

The blond man not only didn't dodge, but also immediately unleashed his weapon. Seeing this, everyone around him also summoned their own magical treasures and attacked Song Qi. Although Song Qi was a Golden Immortal, and the cultivation of these people was inferior to his, they outnumbered him, and he couldn't deal with them all at once.

A fierce battle erupted here, and Xie Wan'er looked at Gu Yan anxiously: "What... what should we do now?"

"Of course, we'll take the opportunity to slip away."

Gu Yan unfurled his Wind and Thunder Wings, surrounded by four-colored divine lightning, and, holding Xie Wan'er's hand, sped off into the distance. He wasn't going to be foolish enough to wait here for them to finish their fight.

The severely injured Lu Yan clutched her chest. The surroundings were filled with rumbling sounds and flying debris. She looked in the direction where Gu Yan and Xie Wan'er had left. Just as she was about to shout, she was accidentally injured by someone's magic weapon. She screamed and flew backward, crashing directly into the wall.

A long rainbow streaked across the starry sky, this azure rainbow crackling with four-colored lightning, moving at incredible speed. However, despite its astonishing speed, it was quickly overtaken by a dark red lightning bolt.

The dark red lightning bolt blocked his path, transforming into a man dressed in a dark red robe. This man had long, blood-red hair, pale skin, and a delicate, feminine face. He stood barefoot in the starry sky, behind him a towering, illusory image of a Dharma body, which, like him, had long, blood-red hair, was wrapped in black cloth, and had a white mask covering its face, looking sinister and terrifying.

This person was a ghost immortal, a ghost immortal with the cultivation level of a Golden Immortal, named Yu Ziqi.

The azure rainbow stopped and transformed into two young girls.

Gu Yan, dressed in flowing white robes, stood amidst the starry sky, her entire being appearing as if enveloped in starlight, pure and beautiful. Yu Ziqi gazed at Gu Yan with adoration and smiled, "Why is the fairy in such a hurry?"

"I'm in a hurry to return to the Palace of Heartbreak to see my master. Fellow Daoist, please don't stop me. My master, Lu Huanong, is not someone to be trifled with," Gu Yan said. He wasn't a disciple of the Palace of Heartbreak, so he was using this as a way to intimidate the other party. As a super sect with a Celestial King in charge, shouldn't others have some reservations if they want to mess with the people of the Palace of Heartbreak?

Under normal circumstances, that would indeed be the case. Everyone knows that Lu Huanong is not someone to be trifled with, but Gu Yan is too beautiful, so beautiful that it can make people lose their minds.

Yu Ziqi was just there to watch the excitement.

Originally, he was just watching out of boredom, but unexpectedly, he caught a glimpse of Gu Yan's beauty and his heart was instantly struck. He had fallen hopelessly in love with Gu Yan and wanted to take him away.

He no longer cared about Lu Huanong, Jueqing Palace, or the Immortal King.

He has completely forgotten about it.

In fact, he was not the only one who was captivated by Gu Yan's true appearance. However, the others were not as fast as him, and Song Qi was ganged up on by the others.

Xie Wan'er could also tell that the person in front of her had ill intentions. A Golden Immortal! This was a Golden Immortal! She broke out in a cold sweat.

"Our master is looking for us. She might find us here soon. Senior, please do us a favor," Xie Wan'er said tremblingly.

"Your master is coming? Lu Huanong is coming? No, no, fairy, I have to take you away immediately. Those women in the Heartless Palace are all insane. I'm here to save you and help you escape to safety." As Yu Ziqi spoke, he flashed in front of Gu Yan and reached out to grab her.

Xie Wan'er watched helplessly as Yu Ziqi grabbed Gu Yan's hand, and then they were both enveloped in a thick, dark red mist. With a swirling mist, both Gu Yan and Yu Ziqi vanished.

"Young Master—"

Xie Wan'er was shocked.

She panicked, her divine sense spreading outwards, but Gu Yan was nowhere to be found. She immediately summoned the celestial ship, jumped aboard, and flew towards the Palace of Heartless Love. She had to return immediately to find her master and save Young Master Gu.

On a secluded, desolate planet, there is a cave dwelling.

Suddenly, a dark red lightning bolt flew from beyond the sky. After landing, the dark red lightning bolt transformed into a man with long, blood-red hair and a "girl" in white. The "girl" was exceptionally beautiful. As soon as she landed, she released her divine sense to survey her surroundings and immediately distanced herself from the man with long, blood-red hair.

"This is the planet where I cultivate. Don't worry, it's very safe here." Yu Ziqi stepped forward, wanting to get closer to Gu Yan.

With a wave of her hand, Gu Yan caused countless ice spikes to explode from the ground.

Yu Ziqi laughed and dodged. With a wave of his hand, all the ice spikes shattered. Looking at Gu Yan's stunningly beautiful face, his blood seemed to boil. Such a beauty was now his, his alone. Heaven was truly too good to him.

"Beauty, don't be afraid, I'm not going to eat you." Yu Ziqi smiled and approached step by step.

"Aren't you afraid my master will tear you apart?" Gu Yan asked.

"To die under the peony blossoms is to be romantic even as a ghost, and besides, this place is very secluded; even Lu Huanong might not be able to find it. They say a moment of spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold, so let's consummate our marriage now?" Yu Ziqi said, beginning to undress.

Gu Yan watched him take off his clothes and said expressionlessly:

"I'm a man."

Yu Ziqi: "...???"
