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

Chapter 8 Xun'er's Questioning!

Xun'er felt a little uneasy as she watched the seventh-grade pill emerge from Gu Fei's hands.

She thought about it and decided to put aside what happened yesterday for the time being.

After all, the yearning for strength is something that every member of an ancient clan must have in their heart.

Although she didn't like Gu Fei, it shouldn't be a problem for her to congratulate him on refining a seventh-grade pill.

She successfully convinced herself to see Gu Fei, putting aside the unpleasant gossip she had just overheard.

Xun'er was just about to go and congratulate Gu Fei, and explain what had happened before.

She still wanted to ease the tension between herself and Gu Fei.

After all, with a genius like Gu Fei as her husband, she would also feel proud.

Xun'er couldn't recall at all why Gu Fei had proposed the divorce.

She still felt that Gu Fei was making a mountain out of a molehill; it was just a small matter, was it really necessary to bring up divorce?

Xun'er still firmly believed that as long as she took a step back first, Gu Fei would forgive her.

After all, Gu Fei used to like her so much, and the first request he made to Gu Yuan was to marry her.

Gu Fei loves her very much, doesn't he?

To everyone's surprise, Xun'er stopped in her tracks the next second.

She had already reached the foot of the mountain and was about to start climbing.

A servant came over to stop them.

"I'm sorry, Miss Xun'er, but the master has already given us the order to leave, and no one is allowed to disturb us."

The servant spoke in a flat tone, with obvious politeness.

It hardly sounded like he was speaking to the wife of the mountain's owner.

Xun'er glared at her with a hint of annoyance.

These servants had never called her Miss Xun'er before, and their attitude had never been so distant!

In the past, even if Gu Fei wanted to cultivate, he would not stop her even if he gave her an order to leave.

She has always been free to enter and exit this mountain.

This was a promise Gu Fei made when he married her: this mountain, rich in fighting spirit, could never stop Xun'er.

Seeing this, Xun'er wanted to speak, but the servants silenced her with words.

"Master has decided to begin refining the next pill immediately and must not be disturbed by anyone."

Even a genius like Xun'er was somewhat shocked after hearing what the servant said.

To forge the next one?!

Moreover, judging from the importance Gu Fei attaches to it, it is very likely to be another high-grade pill!

Xun'er couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Is Gu Fei some kind of monster?!

An ordinary seventh-grade alchemist would lose all their battle qi after refining a seventh-grade pill.

They need to rest for several days or even more than ten days to recover.

After all, refining a seventh-grade pill requires not only a huge amount of battle qi, but also a great deal of mental energy.

Many people even damaged their very essence while refining seventh-grade pills, making it difficult for them to improve their strength for the rest of their lives.

Gu Fei has just refined a seventh-grade pill, and he's about to refine the next one immediately?

Does he not need any rest at all?

He's absolutely monstrous!

Having heard the servant's words, Xun'er had no choice but to give up.

She stomped her foot and walked away angrily.

All of this was observed by one person.

"It's all up to fate now..."

The man sighed inwardly, revealing a weathered and unassuming face.

At first glance, he seemed quite ordinary, but the occasional glint of darkness in his eyes made his presence impossible to ignore.

The Black Annihilation King Gu Lie, one of the most outstanding members of the ancient clan, was looking down at the other side from a high place.

Gu Lie had been watching the two young people argue for a long time. He smiled helplessly and sighed softly.

Gu Yuan came to Gu Lie that day to talk about this matter.

With a touch of embarrassment, Gu Yuan laid out the matter with Gu Lie and tactfully asked him to persuade Gu Fei.

When Gu Lie first heard about this, he was naturally dissatisfied.

After Gu Yuan left, he snorted coldly.

Gu Yuan even asked Gu Fei to persuade him to forgive Xun'er after his grandson was cheated on by his granddaughter-in-law!

How ridiculous!

Moreover, Gu Fei is no ordinary person; why should he keep backing down?

However, since the clan chief so earnestly asked him to persuade Gu Fei, Gu Lie had no choice but to agree.

But what could he do about Gu Fei?

Gu Lie knew his grandson's personality very well.

He is a man of his own mind. Even if Gu Lie uses his grandfather's status to pressure him, he simply won't do what he doesn't want to do.

Therefore, Gu Lie did not have the confidence to persuade Gu Fei.

Moreover, personally, he didn't want his grandson, the pride of heaven, to suffer such injustice.

She's just one woman; how many others are there in the world?

Why should Gu Fei hang himself on this one tree?

A long time has passed again.

Every day, an endless stream of people from the ancient tribes come to the foot of Gufei Mountain.

They looked up in admiration, their hearts filled with worship.

The emotional value was slowly added to the system, and finally, the second grade seven pill was born.

The familiar dark clouds and thunder once again gathered above the mountain peaks.

Countless members of the ancient clans gathered once again around Gufei's mountain peak to watch.

The thunderbolts struck in bursts, their terrifying pressure stretching for hundreds of miles.

Many of the people below looked pale, unable to withstand the oppressive force.

Some people began to worry that something might happen to Gu Fei.

After all, he didn't stop in between, refining two seventh-grade pills in succession and then withstanding two pill lightning strikes.

"What's there to worry about? Who is Brother Gu Fei? Dan Lei is nothing to him!"

"Exactly! Instead of worrying about Brother Gu Fei, you should think about how to improve your alchemy skills!"

Good-natured laughter came from those around him, and the man blushed and scratched his head.

He secretly decided that he would ask Brother Gu Fei for advice next time.

A sixteen-year-old alchemy genius! I'm afraid I could never catch up to him even if I studied and practiced diligently my whole life.

Just then, Xun'er arrived, furious.

She stood at the foot of the mountain, her almond-shaped eyebrows raised, her eyes filled with anger.

[Xun'er experiences anger; her emotional value increases by 200.]

Gu Fei frowned and looked down the mountain.

Looking down from the mountain, you can see a small figure.

The figure focused his energy in his dantian, his voice carrying a distinct air of anger.

She imbued her voice with her fighting spirit, allowing it to travel far and wide so that Gu Fei, atop the mountain, could hear it clearly.

"Gu Fei, I never expected you to be this kind of person, actually sending someone to kill Brother Xiao Yan!"

An uproar erupted around them.

Those who knew the inside story either didn't believe Xun'er's words, or they pondered it deeply in secret, or hesitated.

Xiao Yan is clearly the son of the Xiao family patriarch of Wutan City, and also Xun'er's former sweetheart.

Could it be that Gu Fei was betrayed by his wife, and out of love turned to hatred and jealousy, he was driven to harm Xiao Yan?

She even wanted to kill the "adulterer".

But when someone tentatively raised this idea, it was drowned out by a wave of opposition.

"How could that be! That's Brother Gu Fei!"

"Exactly, would he hurt an ordinary person because of Xun'er?"

"Besides, Brother Gu Fei clearly no longer likes Xun'er, and he's not the type to kill indiscriminately!"

Those who knew the inside story didn't believe Xun'er's one-sided account, and those who didn't know were even less likely to believe it.

They usually observe Gu Fei to see what kind of person he really is.
