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

Chapter 216 When are you getting married?

"No matter how difficult it is, I will find a way to gather that ancient jade and bring you out, Father!"

At this moment, Zi Yan spoke with great stubbornness.

She finally got to see her father.

I learned that my father was still alive.

How could they stand by and watch their father suffer in this dark and hopeless place?

"Ziyan, I also believe that day will come!"

Seeing the stubborn Zi Yan, Gu Fei held her small hand and gently comforted her.

"well……"

The old Dragon Emperor let out a long sigh at this moment.

In the current Dou Qi Continent, the path to becoming an emperor is severed. If one can become an emperor, the seal left by the ancient emperor Tuoshe can naturally be broken.

But without the strength of a Dou Di.

It's practically impossible to overpower eight ancient clans and seize the ancient jade.

Even the ancient dragon race at its peak could not have done that.

"Zi Yan, how is the situation with the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void?"

Zhu Kun suddenly asked about another issue that he was more concerned about.

If Zi Yan wants to seize the ancient jade, the strength of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan will determine a great deal.

"Back then, after you disappeared, Father, our clan fell apart, and internal wars raged. Zhubei, Zhuxi, and Zhunan proclaimed themselves the Three Great Dragon Kings and ruled over their own territories!"

"Only Donglong Island continues to support the royal family, while the other three islands are embroiled in civil war. The strength of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan has been steadily declining during these years of conflict!"

Upon hearing Zhu Kun's question, Zi Yan slowly recounted the history of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.

"What?! How dare those guys do this...?"

Hearing what Zi Yan had told him, Zhu Kun felt extremely heartbroken.

He never imagined that his clan would do something like this after he went missing.

"And now?"

The old Dragon Emperor continued to ask.

"Now, the rebellion within the tribe has been suppressed by me, and the people of the four islands have been reunited. I have become the new Dragon Emperor!"

Zi Yan replied.

"Good, good, good! As expected of my daughter, Zhu Kun!" Hearing that Zi Yan had become the Dragon Emperor, suppressed all the rebels, and restored the Dragon Clan, the old Dragon Emperor was filled with joy and pride.

"Father, to tell you the truth, ten years ago, I was only at the fifth level!"

"Ever since I met Brother Gu Fei, I've been consuming all sorts of rare and precious elixirs!"

"Moreover, Brother Gu Fei later found me the legendary Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, which had only appeared a few times. He helped me refine the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, allowing me to break through to the four-star Dou Sheng level!"

"...If it weren't for Brother Gu Fei's help, I definitely wouldn't have been able to handle the rebellion in the clan so easily!"

Zi Yan gave a general account of the help Gu Fei had given her over the years.

"Ten years, and you've grown from the fifth rank to the ninth rank!" Zhu Kun exclaimed in surprise.

Upon hearing about the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, a look of realization dawned on his eyes.

Back when Zhu Kun was still young, he witnessed the rise of a top expert from the Ancient Dragon Clan who had consumed the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit.

At that time, the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix also had a top expert with the bloodline of the Ancient Dragon Phoenix.

However, those two top-tier beings later perished in a great battle.

"Young friend Gu Fei, thank you for taking care of Zi Yan all these years!"

Zhu Kun thanked Gu Fei.

At this moment, he no longer dwelled on why Gu Fei knew he was there.

Everyone has their own secrets.

As long as his original intention is correct, that's fine.

Zhu Kun could also see that Zi Yan was now very dependent on Gu Fei, and this dependence had long since crossed the line of friendship.

Moreover, Gu Fei and Zi Yan have been very intimate ever since they entered this place, and their physical contact has been extremely natural.

Zhu Kun understood that he probably had no hope of ever getting out of here in his lifetime.

What he hoped for was to see his daughter find a good home.

"Senior, you flatter me. Ziyan and I are friends; this is nothing!"

Gu Fei replied modestly.

Based on the emotional feedback he received earlier, he knew that Zhu Kun had already accepted him.

"Hehe, you little rascal, when are you planning to marry Ziyan? When you do, you absolutely must let this old man witness it in person!"

Zhu Kun said with a smile.

"marry?"

Gu Fei was stunned when he heard Zhu Kun's words.

Beside her, Zi Yan's face was also flushed: "Father, what nonsense are you talking about..."

"Hehe, you're getting shy now!"

"You two have been holding hands and behaving intimately ever since you came in. Is this what you call ordinary friends? Getting married is just a matter of time!" Zhu Kun said sarcastically.

"No... Father, Brother Gu Fei already has a wife..."

Zi Yan explained somewhat shyly.

"Um?"

Upon hearing Zi Yan's words, Zhu Kun seemed quite agitated, and his smile froze. He hadn't expected that Gu Fei was already married.

However, he did not get angry.

Based on Zi Yan's performance.

Zhu Kun knew that his daughter definitely liked Gu Fei.

In Zi Yan's heart, Gu Fei's position is perhaps even higher than that of her old father.

"Senior, Ziyan and I..."

"Kid, now that you've won my daughter's heart, you have to take responsibility!"

"No matter what happens, you must never let Ziyan be sad again, otherwise..."

The old dragon emperor interrupted Gu Fei and began to lecture him in a domineering manner.

An immense pressure enveloped Gu Fei.

Even with Gu Fei's current strength as a three-star Dou Sheng, he was powerless to resist under such pressure.

"What are you doing!"

Seeing this, Zi Yan was very concerned and stood tightly in front of Gu Fei, glaring angrily at the old Dragon Emperor.

Upon being glared at by Zi Yan, Zhu Kun instantly withdrew his imposing aura.

"Young Gu Fei, perhaps I was a bit rash just now... but you should be able to understand, what father doesn't want his child to be happy!"

Zhu Kun lowered his tone, as if he were apologizing.

"I understand!"

Gu Fei was not angry.

He could understand Zhu Kun's actions.

Moreover, Zhu Kun's words made Gu Fei begin to seriously examine his own heart.

Do I really only see Zi Yan as an ordinary friend?

If one day, Zi Yan is forced to marry another man...

Can I accept it?

[I've seen a fellow reader comment on the same thing several times. The gist is that the Ancient Void Dragon Clan was extremely powerful in ancient times, unlike now where there's a power gap with no top-tier experts between four and eight stars. Instead, most of them roamed the void, and if they were found, they could be like the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan, possessing some mid-to-high-level Dou Sheng.]

I have some questions about this. Could this reader share their understanding, screenshots, or tell me where they found this information?

I'm posting this here in the hope that other readers will see it and offer suggestions, to see if such settings actually exist.
