Battle Through the Heavens: He marries Xun'er, but she refuses to consummate the marriage!

Chapter 119 What kind of woman would eagerly ask a man to marry her?

Deep within the mountains, in a solemn, dark-black hall, a large group of ancient clan elders gathered, each with a grave expression, seriously considering one matter.

That is the matter of the Yan Clan's marriage proposal.

After meeting with the elders of the Yan Clan, Gu Nanhai immediately contacted the elders of the clan to gather in the main hall of the ancient clan to discuss Gu Fei's marriage.

As Gu Fei's grandfather, Gu Lie also temporarily put aside the affairs of the Black Annihilation Army to come and discuss the matter.

"The Yan Clan has sent people to arrange a marriage for Gu Fei. The woman is exceptionally talented; is the Yan Clan really willing to give her up?"

"What's there to be reluctant about? In terms of talent, my grandson is far superior to the Yan Clan women. They won't suffer any losses..." When it comes to talent, Gu Lie was the first to disagree, saying that Gu Fei's talent was second to none!

"In my opinion, the Yan Clan's actions are not solely for this purpose. I suspect they are after Gu Fei's ability to fuse with different flames!"

An elder pointed out a key point, which immediately garnered the agreement of countless people.

Simultaneously controlling and fusing several different flames is unheard of, except for the strongest individuals who forcibly achieve this through sheer power.

This secret about Gu Fei is indeed a huge attraction for the Yan Clan.

"Yes, most of the Yan Clan's methods involve controlling fire, and they have many different kinds of fire. However, apart from the clan leader Yan Jin, no one else can refine two different kinds of fire at the same time, and Yan Jin only managed to do so with great strength."

"On the other hand, Gu Fei? He's only a Dou Zun, yet he's already fused four different flames. The Yan Clan probably wants to use this marriage to extract the secret of his flame fusion from him!"

Many elders who didn't know much about Gu Fei couldn't help but gasp upon hearing this. Had Gu Fei already fused four different flames within his body?

……

"So, should we agree to this marriage?"

After some discussion, an elder asked.

"Now that Gu Fei and Xun'er are divorced, Huo Zhi is a good candidate!"

"They want something from Gu Fei, and we can do the same and get our hands on the Flame Clan's strange fire..."

This idea immediately garnered widespread approval.

"However, my grandson already has someone he likes..."

Gu Lie suddenly spoke up at that moment.

He could not forget the boastful words Gu Fei had made in front of him before.

If I were to become a Dou Di (Battle Emperor), my bloodline would undoubtedly be top-tier!

He respects Gu Fei's choice and will not change it because of these elders.

Gu Lie is Gu Fei's direct relative and holds a position in the clan second only to the clan leader, Gu Yuan.

Without his support, this matter will be very difficult to handle.

Just when everyone was in a dilemma, a man dressed in coarse cloth appeared in front of everyone without warning.

Most of the elders present were Battle Saints. The only person in the entire Ancient Clan who could appear out of thin air right under their noses without them noticing was the Clan Chief, Gu Yuan.

"In my opinion, whether or not to agree to this marriage should be decided by Gu Fei himself after he meets the woman. We'll host a banquet tomorrow and invite Gu Fei to come..."

After Gu Yuan spoke, the elders remained silent, and the final decision was left to Gu Fei.

……

That evening, Gu Fei returned after finishing his business with the Black Annihilation Army. Upon entering the house, he found the atmosphere somewhat heavy.

He looked at Little Fairy Doctor, who had her head down, her ethereal eyes carrying a strange glint in them.

"Brother Gu Fei, you don't know..."

Zi Yan winked and made faces at Gu Fei next to Little Fairy Doctor, and Gu Fei immediately understood what was going on.

"Silly girl, what are you thinking? I will never agree to marry that Huo Zhi..."

On the way back, Gu Fei had naturally heard about those things. He knew that Little Fairy Doctor also knew about it, so he went up to comfort her.

"I know you won't... but that Yan Clan woman is so outstanding, it's hard to guarantee that your clan's elders won't agree!"

Little Fairy Doctor nestled into Gu Fei's arms and whispered.

She knew Gu Fei's feelings, and could also guess the thoughts of the elders of the ancient clan...

Gu Fei was devoted to her, but the elders of the ancient clan did not approve of her.

"Don't worry, as long as I remain firm, the clan chief and my grandfather won't try to change my mind..."

Gu Fei is very confident about this.

Seeing Gu Fei's determined gaze, Xiao Yi Xian's previously wavering heart finally calmed down a bit. She forced a smile and nestled in Gu Fei's arms.

[Little Fairy Doctor is moved, her emotion value increases by 100]

[Little Fairy Doctor develops a strong sense of dependency; her emotional value increases by 200.]

……

The next morning, Gu Fei had just opened his sleepy eyes when his grandfather summoned him to a banquet.

Gu Fei immediately realized the true purpose of the banquet and looked at the Little Fairy Doctor lying beside him.

"Don't worry, wait for my good news!"

Gu Fei gently kissed Xiao Yixian on the lips, bid her farewell, and then hurried to the banquet.

……

In the banquet hall, Xun'er, Gu Qingyang, Gu Yao and other young talents were also seated.

Xun'er's gaze often lingered on Huo Zhi, filled with tension. It was as if she saw herself as Gu Fei's first wife and Huo Zhi as the mistress.

Huo Zhi ignored Xun'er completely, and didn't even glance at her once. In her eyes, Xun'er posed less of a threat than that foreign woman, Little Fairy Doctor.

"Dear elders, Gu Fei is late!"

Soon, as Gu Fei stepped in, many eyes were drawn to him.

Huo Zhi also looked at him. In terms of appearance, Gu Fei was quite handsome, but that was not what Huo Zhi cared about.

"It's the aura of different kinds of fire, and more than one at that. It seems the information our clan received was true..."

Huo Zhi's eyes flickered, and she murmured to herself. At the same time, the flame pattern between her brows quietly bloomed.

"what?"

Gu Fei looked at Huo Zhi and noticed the pattern between her eyebrows.

The strange fire within his body had suddenly become active, displaying signs of excitement.

Her strange flame... the Red Lotus Karmic Flame?

"Gu Fei, come, sit here!"

Gu Lie invited Gu Fei to sit down next to him.

The group of Yan Clan members sat in the seats next to him.

"This child's cultivation has actually reached the four-star Dou Zun level! His future is limitless!"

Elder Huo Yao of the Yan Clan, upon discovering Gu Fei's cultivation level, couldn't help but express his surprise.

Although I knew Gu Fei was a genius, I didn't expect him to have reached the level of a four-star Dou Zun.

In Gu Fei's eyes, Huo Zhi's eight-star Dou Zong seemed insignificant.

"A four-star Dou Zun?"

Hearing the elder's words, Huo Zhi was also shocked. Gu Fei was about the same age as her, but she never expected him to be so much older than her.

This immediately changed the way Huo Zhi looked at Gu Fei.

Strong power is often enough to redefine preconceived notions.

"Child, you probably already know why I've summoned you here today!"

Gu Lie looked at Gu Fei and asked.

"Hmm!" Gu Fei nodded, then looked in the direction of the Yan Clan.

"Gu Fei can only apologize for the Yan Clan's kind offer!"

"I already have a woman I like!"

Gu Fei replied without hesitation.
