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

Chapter 146 Zi Yan: What happened to the promise to give me a chance?

Wutan City, the Xiao family.

Xiao Yan slumped dejectedly onto the table, his fingers tapping the surface repeatedly with increasing force. If it weren't for Yao Lao beside him, he would have lost his temper and vented all his anger on the table.

"Teacher, it's been months, and we still have no clue. Has my father really disappeared?"

Previously, Xiao Yan suspected that Xiao Zhan had been taken away by the Yunlan Sect, but he had been lurking in the Yunlan Sect for a long time without any news about Xiao Zhan, which made him very discouraged.

He felt anger towards the person who kidnapped Xiao Zhan, as well as resentment towards his own incompetence.

"Xiao Yanzi, since they kidnapped your father, they must want something from him. Your father should be safe for the time being!"

The old doctor comforted Xiao Yan.

"The most urgent task is to make myself strong. Only when I am strong can I investigate more things."

Xiao Yan nodded in agreement.

For example, the black soul that appeared in the Yunlan Sect, Yao Lao said they came from the mysterious Soul Palace.

At Xiao Yan's current level, he is not even qualified to know what the Soul Palace is.

He clenched his fists, yearning to become stronger.

"Let's go to the Starfall Pavilion first. Once Master recovers his strength, he will investigate this matter for you!"

……

Monster Mountain Range, the new holy city of the Serpent People.

The new holy city is now brightly decorated, and smiles adorn the faces of every household as they pray using the ancient rituals of the Serpent People.

They were not praying for the rebirth of the Serpent Clan's holy city, but for the rebirth of Little Fairy.

Today marks Xiao Xianle's first birthday. This news was originally known only to Gu Fei, Xiao Yixian, and others, but someone leaked it out.

As a result, the entire Serpent Clan spontaneously celebrated Xiao Xianle's birthday.

Cai'er stood atop the holy city, looking down at the snake people below. A sweet and satisfied smile graced her face as she said excitedly, "Your prestige among the snake people is almost surpassing mine."

Gu Fei smiled slightly, looking at the jubilant snake people, thinking that the feeling of being worshipped by thousands of people was also quite nice.

"Father...what are you...doing!"

Suddenly, a childish voice rang out beside Gu Fei. It was Little Fairy Doctor carrying Little Fairy Le as she walked over.

The little one has finally learned to speak. Although he can only use simple words, his tender voice is as endearing as an angel's.

"Little Celeste, hug me!"

Gu Fei reached out and hugged Xiao Xianle, leading her to look at the jubilant snake people beneath him.

Xiao Xianle didn't understand what they were doing, but she started dancing along.

The new Holy City represents not only the rebirth of the Holy City itself, but also the rebirth of the entire Serpent People race, where they will embark on a path to even greater prosperity.

The revelry lasted for a long time before gradually subsiding. The snake people adapted to their new environment and gradually returned to a peaceful life.

One day, Zi Yan was playing with Xiao Xianle when she suddenly remembered something, jumped up, and ran straight towards Gu Fei.

Gu Fei was startled when he saw Zi Yan rushing towards him like a shooting star. If he hadn't been prepared, it wouldn't have been pleasant for him to be bumped into by this girl.

"Brother Gu Fei, have you forgotten something?"

"What is it?" Gu Fei asked, puzzled.

"Didn't you say you'd give me a great opportunity? You can't go back on your word back in the Pill Realm!"

Zi Yan recalled the promise Gu Fei made before she entered the Pill Realm.

Looking at Zi Yan's serious expression, Gu Fei knew what she was thinking.

Don't be fooled by Zi Yan's seemingly carefree and cheerful demeanor; she actually has something on her mind.

She has already returned to Ancient Dragon Island, received the inheritance, and is very familiar with the current situation of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan. She is the only royal bloodline of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.

In the future, Zi Yan will definitely become the new Dragon Emperor of the Ancient Dragon Clan.

No matter how much Zi Yan yearns for freedom.

She would also unconsciously think about her own race.

She wanted to become stronger, to unify the dragon race as soon as possible, to prevent the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan from splitting up again, and to allow everyone on her Ancient Dragon Island to live a peaceful and stable life.

Gu Fei did promise Zi Yan a chance, but that chance was still full of uncertainties.

"That opportunity hasn't arrived yet, and I don't know if I can find it..." Gu Fei pondered.

The opportunity he spoke of was the ancient relic left behind by the ancient powerhouse, the Sage of Creation.

Ancient relics, as the name suggests, are naturally those things passed down from ancient times.

Ancient times and the present are completely different eras. Over those countless years, many relics were naturally left behind, some of which may have been buried or disappeared over time.

But some will, by chance, see the light of day again.

In fact, the seal of the former owner of the ruins weakened over time, causing the sealed space to reveal the continent.

"We'll definitely not find it if we wait here. Let's go look for it; maybe it'll appear!"

Upon hearing Gu Fei acknowledge the existence of the opportunity, Zi Yan was overjoyed and immediately tried to drag Gu Fei along to search for it.

Gu Fei nodded in agreement. With his current strength, he might be able to bring the ruins to life ahead of schedule. If that didn't work, he would have to ask the elders of his clan for help.

Anyway, I know the approximate location of the ruins, so I'll find them first and deal with the rest later.

After making the appointment with Zi Yan, Gu Fei informed Xiao Yi Xian and Cai Er.

"Is it Zi Yan's destiny?"

"If she gets the chance, Zi Yan will become even stronger."

Little Fairy Doctor smiled and patted Zi Yan's little head.

"Yes, I want to become super powerful, as powerful as Brother Gu Fei!" Zi Yan said proudly to Gu Fei.

"Why not become even stronger than Brother Gu Fei?" Qing Lin suddenly asked.

Zi Yan immediately turned around and looked at Qing Lin, saying, "Brother Gu Fei is already incredibly talented. It would be very difficult to surpass him. I would be very satisfied if I were as strong as him."

Gu Fei watched Zi Yanni's retreating figure and knew that she was trying to please him because she was afraid that he wouldn't take her to find the ruins.

"Alright, now that we've settled things with the snake people, let's get ready to leave."

Afterwards, Cai'er went to explain some clan matters. After all, she was the queen of the clan and could not be as carefree as the others.

Soon after, Gu Fei and his group left the Monster Mountain Range, with the Lion King still serving as their mount.

This time when it returned, the Lion King's child had broken through to the fifth rank. Before leaving, the Lion King instructed it to protect the Snake People and take care of each other.

"Where are we going?" Zi Yan asked Gu Fei on the way.

"Go to your territory, Beast Realm!"

The Beast Realm is entirely the territory of magical beast families. Although humans also mingle there, generally speaking, those magical beasts that have formed families still possess a very strong xenophobic mentality.

The living conditions there are extremely harsh, and people walk on the edge of death every day.
