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

Chapter 159 Xun'er: I don't agree to this marriage!

Gu Fei felt a warmth in his heart. He touched Xiao Xianle's little face, then looked at Xiao Yixian and Cai'er, feeling very satisfied.

The happiest thing in the world is for a family to be together happily.

Nothing is more important than this.

"Young friend Gu Fei, you have bestowed upon me an immense opportunity. You are a great benefactor of my Dragon Clan. If you ever need our help in the future, the Dragon Clan will definitely provide our full support!" Zhu Li excitedly came over to express his gratitude.

"You flatter me. Ziyan is my friend. I didn't expect anything in return for helping her!" Gu Fei shook his head with a smile.

After Little Fairy Doctor, Cai'er, Qinglin and the others finished celebrating Zi Yan's breakthrough to Dou Sheng, Gu Fei continued to rest and recover his energy.

After absorbing some of the energy from the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, Gu Fei felt that he was only one step away from becoming a Nine-Star Dou Zun. He originally planned to take a nap and then start working on breaking through.

Unexpectedly, after sleeping for two days and two nights, Gu Fei woke up to find that he had directly broken through to the Nine-Star Dou Zun level.

"It would be awesome if I could keep breaking through barriers while sleeping."

Feeling refreshed and full of energy after waking up, Gu Fei smiled as he sensed the energy within his body.

"I wonder when I'll be able to become a saint!"

Because of Zi Yan's breakthrough, a raging fire was also ignited in Gu Fei's heart, and he was getting closer and closer to becoming a half-saint.

Zi Yan became a Dou Sheng, and Gu Fei couldn't wait to step into that realm as well.

Then launch a final assault on that realm that will never be surpassed.

Gu Fei also knew that the gap between a Nine-Star Dou Zun and a Half-Saint or even a Dou Sheng was enormous.

Because, to become a semi-saint, one still needs to go through the arduous process of nine cycles to become a saint.

The battle qi was compressed and condensed nine times.

Many people spend their entire lives stuck in this stage, eventually dying in depression.

"These things can't be rushed."

Gu Fei suppressed his aura, stopped examining his body, stood up, and walked outside the main building.

Yesterday, Little Fairy Doctor told him that the Ancient Clan had prepared a banquet to welcome the Thunder Clan delegation and had invited Gu Fei to attend.

Gu Fei was reluctant to go, but the invitation had already been delivered to his doorstep, and it wouldn't be good not to go.

After quickly tidying up, Gu Fei headed towards the banquet venue.

On the way there, Gu Fei heard some rumors about the purpose of the banquet, but he didn't care about them and didn't listen to them much.

Upon arriving at the banquet venue, all the Lei clan members were already present. Lei Dong, sitting in the front row, also saw Gu Fei's arrival.

He first looked behind Gu Fei to make sure Zi Yan wasn't there, then turned to Gu Fei with a gloomy gaze.

Gu Fei glanced at Lei Dong indifferently, noticing the slightly hostile look in his eyes.

However, he didn't pay any attention and sat down in his seat.

Xun'er's gaze also fell on Gu Fei, her expression very complicated.

There was resentment, confusion, disappointment, and a sense of reluctance to let go.

Gu Fei never glanced at her from beginning to end, which made Xun'er feel as if she had fallen into an abyss.

"Yeah, all the women around her are so outstanding... it seems like she doesn't need me!"

"Fragrant flowers attract butterflies... I must become even better!"

Xun'er thought to herself, unconsciously clenching her fists.

In contrast to the complex emotions of the younger generation, the Lei Clan elders present looked at Gu Fei with admiration.

Gu Fei was already a nine-star Dou Zun in his early twenties. His talent was even more terrifying than Lei Dong's back then. What was even more terrifying were the people around him.

Shortly after Gu Fei arrived, Gu Yuan, Gu Lie, and other elders of the ancient clan also entered the venue.

"Hehe, the Ancient Clan and the Thunder Clan haven't interacted for over a decade. Now that you've arrived, please enjoy yourselves to the fullest..."

Once everyone had arrived, Gu Yuan welcomed the Lei Clan elders. After a brief exchange of compliments, the banquet officially began.

As the banquet began, the decisive and efficient nature of the Lei Clan was on full display. Gu Yuan had just finished his polite remarks when a Lei Clan elder stepped forward and said, "Clan Chief Gu Yuan, we have come here to propose marriage for Lei Dong. These are gifts brought by our Lei Clan."

After the Thunder Clan elder finished speaking, a large number of boxes filled with rare and precious treasures appeared.

"I wonder to whom the Thunder Clan intends to propose marriage this time?"

Gu Lie asked.

"Naturally, it's Miss Xun'er, the daughter of the Ancient Yuan Clan Chief!"

The elder of the Lei clan spoke.

These words immediately drew boos from the audience; their expressions weren't surprise, but rather an indication that it was indeed true.

This news had actually spread several days ago. The elders of the ancient clan and Gu Yuan had long known about the Lei clan's intentions, and many elders felt that Lei Dong's excellence made him a good match for Xun'er.

Gu Yuanfang asked the question just to go through the motions and to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.

Otherwise, if they change their minds, we, Xun'er, and the Lei Clan will all be embarrassed.

"Xun'er, what do you mean?"

Gu Yuan naturally wouldn't agree directly. He doted on his daughter and would naturally consult her opinion.

Xun'er's attention had been focused on Gu Fei, but when she heard Gu Yuan's question, she stood up and refused without hesitation: "Father, I only love Gu Fei, and in this life, I only want to be Gu Fei's wife again."

"In my opinion, Gu Fei is the most outstanding person in the world!"

Upon hearing these words, Gu Fei frowned slightly.

He never expected that Xun'er would announce her feelings in public like that.

The Lei Clan had just proposed marriage, and Xun'er's words completely disregarded the Lei Clan's reputation, even rubbing their faces in the ground. Lei Dong's face was already flushed red, and he was furious.

As soon as Xun'er finished speaking, the Lei Clan members frowned and looked at her.

Gu Yuan hadn't expected Xun'er to refuse so bluntly. His gaze lingered on Xun'er before turning to Gu Fei, his brows furrowing.

He wasn't worried about offending the Lei Clan, but he never expected Xun'er to act this way...

Gu Yuan remembered that before Xun'er and Gu Fei got married, the situation was exactly the opposite of what it is now; now it's completely reversed.

"Xun'er, we all know that Gu Fei is very talented, even the most outstanding talent in the ancient clan. But there are always people better than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding. We don't have to be so certain about anything; there has to be room for maneuver."

An elder from the ancient clan stepped forward to smooth things over.

Gu Lie looked somewhat embarrassed, as the matter involved his grandson Gu Fei, and he really didn't know what to say.

Xun'er dismissed the elder's advice and continued, "There's no such thing as someone better than you, and no such thing as a heaven beyond the heavens. Gu Fei's talent is unparalleled in this era; no one can compare!"

"In my heart, he is the most outstanding person!"

Xun'er said this again, and Lei Dong finally could not bear it any longer. He stood up, his fighting spirit surging on his body. If he did not restrain himself, he would rush straight towards Gu Fei.

"Hmph, he's the best?"

"He's nothing but a coward hiding behind a woman!"

Lei Dong stood up, clearly unconvinced, and said that he felt his half-saint cultivation was superior to Gu Fei's.

A few days ago, he could have defeated Gu Fei in public, but Zi Yan suddenly appeared and stole his thunder. If it were just Gu Fei, why would he let him leave in such a sorry state?

Gu Fei glanced at Lei Dong indifferently, not wanting to argue with him.

Xun'er, however, had no intention of giving up.

"Lei Dong, do you think your talent is anything special? Do you think you can compare to Gu Fei?"

"I'm asking you, how old are you this year? You're probably almost thirty, right? Almost thirty and you've only barely reached the level of a half-saint. What was your cultivation level when you were twenty-two?"

Xun'er fired off a series of questions.
