Chapter 123: Any woman will do, except for you!

"Get lost!"

Although Xun Er stood before him stark naked and appeared extremely alluring at this moment, Gu Fei still restrained that instinctive physical impulse.

He raised his hand and mercilessly swatted away Xun Er's slender, jade-like hand.

"Slap!"

Gu Fei's hand landed right on Xun'er's wrist, and as he swatted her wrist away, a crisp sound rang out.

Xun'er looked at her slightly reddened wrist, her eyes filled with endless grievance.

Unable to hold back her tears, they instantly welled up in her eyes.

She felt as though Gu Fei had not just swatted her hand, but had struck her heart, shattering it into pieces; the stinging pain was so real.

"Hoo, hoo, hoo!"

Xun'er placed her hand over her heart, breathing in deep, ragged gasps.

【Xun'er experiences extreme grief, Emotion Value +200】

Gu Fei looked at the sobbing Xun'er indifferently, his gaze incomparably cold, as if devoid of any emotion.

While the stark-naked Xun'er was indeed alluring, in Gu Fei's eyes, she was no different from a statue, because he loathed this woman.

Soon, Xun'er stopped sobbing. She raised her head to look at Gu Fei, forcing her tears back; her eyes were bloodshot, and Gu Fei saw a hysterical madness within them!

"Gu Fei, do you really hate me that much? In less than a year, how have you changed so much?"

"You used to be so attentive to me, so proactive, and wouldn't let me suffer the slightest grievance, but what about now?"

"I have already become so 'shameless' as to stand before you naked, what more do you want from me?"

Xun'er screamed at the top of her lungs; she had already taken the initiative to throw herself into his arms, yet she was still heartlessly rejected!

Recalling the past, the massive disparity made Xun'er feel as if she were suffocating, a sense of despair like falling into an bottomless abyss.

Looking at the screaming Xun'er, there was not a shred of pity in Gu Fei's eyes; he continued in a cold voice, "You said it yourself, those were the past. The current me will not be that foolish."

"And, you ask me why I've changed so much? Do I deserve to stay trapped in your so-called 'marriage' cage forever?"

"You and I had the name of husband and wife, but did we ever have the reality of it?"

"Can't I just fulfill the reality of being husband and wife with you right now?"

Xun'er continued to scream.

"You know that now, but what were you doing before?"

"When I was devoted to you, wishing I could give you everything good, what were you doing?"

"When I was disappointed and lonely time and again because of your coldness, what were you doing?"

"When I was dying to have you, what were you doing? And how did you repay me?"

"You put all your heart and mind into another man..."

"I will absolutely never want a woman who is unfaithful within marriage!"

Gu Fei's attitude was incomparably firm, not leaving Xun'er even a shred of face.

Xun'er felt that she was not just stark naked before Gu Fei, but as if she had even shed a layer of her own skin.

That skin was trampled upon again and again under Gu Fei's feet, covered in dust and scarred; its name was shame.

"I told you, I have never wronged you. If you don't believe me, I can prove my innocence right now!"

"If you take me, you will know!"

Xun Er lifted her head and puffed out her chest, displaying her figure even more perfectly, she said in a somewhat pathological manner.

She wanted to prove her innocence.

And the best way to prove her innocence was to give herself to Gu Fei.

As long as he took her, seeing that drop of red would prove that she was innocent.

That she had not been involved with any other man.

But what Xun'er did not understand was that physical infidelity and emotional infidelity were no different...

Even with Xun'er speaking to this extent, Gu Fei remained heartless, and his eyes even held a touch of disgust that had not been there before.

"Today, if any other beautiful woman were to come to my door naked, I might take her, but you, Gu Xun'er, are the exception..."

Gu Fei refused again.

"Regarding what happened before, I regretted it after the divorce. I was wrong, I can change, why can't you forgive me?"

Xun Er felt extremely aggrieved.

"You regret it?"

Gu Fei let out a cold laugh upon hearing this.

"Do you think I don't know what you did after the divorce?"

"Don't tell me that your trip to the Northwest Continent before was to follow me, and not to see your Brother Xiao Yan?"

"Do you dare say that your Brother Xiao Yan is no longer in your heart?"

"You keep your Brother Xiao Yan in your thoughts, yet you come here throwing yourself at me, talking about regret and changing?!"

"If this is your repentance, then it truly is the greatest joke of the Ancient Clan!"

Gu Fei questioned her repeatedly, his gaze icy.

Xun'er was silent for a moment, wanting to speak but hesitating.

She wanted to say something more, but she was ultimately in the wrong.

"Where are they exactly? Do not test my patience."

Gu Fei's tone turned cold again; he was worried about the safety of Xiao Yixian and the others.

Seeing Xun'er's current crazy, pathological state, he feared that she might kill Xiao Yixian and the others in a fit of rage.

He swore that if Xiao Yixian and the others met with misfortune because of Xun'er, he would spare no cost to ensure her soul was scattered and her Dao destroyed, even if... it meant standing against the Clan Leader now!

"Rest assured..."

"I wouldn't go so far as to lay a hand on them. I had people invite them to a banquet; you aren't there, so they will return very soon!"

Xun Er whispered; she knew that her hesitation when answering the question just now had already determined that she could absolutely not win Gu Fei back today.

If she truly did something untoward to Xiao Yixian and the others, it would only make Gu Fei loathe her even more.

"Gu Fei, I will definitely win back your love..."

"Before I regain your love, I will strive to change..."

Xun Er bent down to pick up the clothes scattered on the ground, hurriedly put them on, walked out of the Bamboo Building in unwillingness, and then walked down the mountain peak as if she had lost her soul, only to run into Huo Zhi halfway.

Huo Zhi was walking up toward this mountain peak; judging by her purpose, she should also be here to find Gu Fei.

"How could she be coming down from here?"

At the entrance of the mountain path, Huo Zhi also saw Xun'er, an expression of surprise appearing on her face.

She had only just found out Gu Fei's residence not long ago and intended to come here to take a look; she did not expect to see Xun Er coming down from here on her first visit.

Moreover, at this moment, Xun Er's expression was dazed, and she even looked somewhat disheveled; a trace of doubt rose in Huo Zhi's heart.

All sorts of conjectures appeared in Huo Zhi's mind, but after guessing back and forth, she felt none of them were reliable, so it would be better to just go and ask.

"Why are you here?"

Huo Zhi blocked Xun'er's path and asked directly.

Seeing Huo Zhi arrive, Xun'er knew that Huo Zhi wanted to come and interact with Gu Fei to foster their relationship, and a feeling of displeasure immediately rose in her heart.

She had just fled in a panic, and she could not let another woman be triumphant.

"I am his ex-wife; I have been to this place countless times, is there anything strange about that?"

Xun Er adjusted her emotions, her words tit-for-tat.
