Chapter 131: Leaving the Ancient Clan, Medusa is Forced into Marriage!

"In a few more months, will there be another little one to play with me?"

Zi Yan usually loved teasing Xiao Xianle the most; if there were one more little one, she would have plenty to play with all day.

"Zi Yan, my pregnancy is different from humans; it will take three to five years before I give birth!"

Seeing Zi Yan's excitement, Medusa replied with a smile.

"Ah, pregnancy takes that long!"

Hearing this, the excitement on Zi Yan's face faded.

"You two take good care of Cai'er; I am going to refine some nourishing Pills for her."

"Bring some for me too!" Zi Yan blinked her large eyes, which were filled with hopeful light.

"We'll see how you behave..."

"Alright, I will definitely behave well!"

After giving his instructions, Gu Fei left the mountain peak and went to a medicine storehouse to collect a large amount of medicinal herbs.

Then, he returned to the mountain peak to refine the Pills.

A Medicine Cauldron appeared.

A large pile of medicinal herbs emerged from his Storage Ring.

Immediately after, Gu Fei unleashed his Exotic Fire, continuously raising the temperature of the Medicine Cauldron.

Although this was Gu Fei's first time refining the Dragon Soul Holy Blood Pill, he performed with ease, quickly tossing two Eighth Rank Magic Cores containing Dragon Clan bloodlines into the Medicine Cauldron.

The Magic Cores were instantly scorched bright red by the Exotic Fire.

Next, several vials of blood containing immense energy were also tossed by Gu Fei into the Medicine Cauldron.

When the Pills were formed, Seven-Colored Pill Lightning descended from the sky; the nourishing effect of a Pill that had undergone Seven-Colored Pill Lightning far exceeded the Heaven Soul Blood Fusion Pill, a superior secret technique from the Snake-People Tribe's heritage.

"Seven-Colored Pill Lightning. The kid Gu Fei's alchemy skills have improved again. Do you think the people of the Yao Clan will follow the Yan Clan's example and set their sights on this kid, wanting to marry off the women of their clan?"

"It is truly possible; the kid Gu Fei's talent in alchemy is not inferior to the geniuses of the Demon Clan..."

As the Seven-Colored Pill Lightning appeared, some Gu Clan Elders with Dou Sheng cultivation gazed from afar, their conversation filled with nothing but praise for Gu Fei.

Seventh-Grade Medicinal Pills and low-level Eight-Rank Medicinal Pills could not catch the eyes of these Dou Sheng.

But a Pill above Seven-Colored Pill Lightning was worthy of the attention of these powerful Dou Sheng.

Gu Fei was only twenty years old, yet he could already summon Seven-Colored Pill Lightning; in the future, he had a high probability of stepping into the rank of a Ninth-Grade Alchemist.

A Ninth Grade Medicinal Pill was something that made countless powerful Dou Sheng drool with envy.

Except for peak experts like Gu Yuan who had already reached the pinnacle and could advance no further, all other Dou Sheng were eager for it.

"You have a remarkable grandson."

In a grand hall, Gu Yuan smiled at Gu Lie, who was to his side.

Gu Lie did not hide his smile either.

Having such an outstanding grandson, who wouldn't be proud?

"In the future, we must maintain a good relationship with this kid Gu Fei; perhaps one day we will need him to refine Pills."

"Indeed, a Ninth-Grade Alchemist is very important to our Ancient Clan."

Alchemists had always held a special status, even within the Ancient Clan.

The Gu Clan Elders expressed their views one after another.

They began to take this young man, who was getting closer and closer to being a Ninth-Grade Alchemist, seriously.

"Cai'er, take the Pill!"

On the mountain peak, Gu Fei had just finished refining the Dragon Soul Holy Blood Pill and gave it to Medusa.

Although this Pill had mild properties, it was an Eight-Rank Medicinal Pill after all, and its medicinal power was potent.

It was not easy to absorb.

Consequently, Cai'er immediately went into seclusion.

Zi Yan had taken good care of Cai'er during Gu Fei's seclusion, and she had also received the Sugar Pill she wanted as she had hoped.

Xiao Xianle was now half a year old; supported by Xiao Yixian, she began to learn to walk and even babble.

Several months later, Cai'er came out of seclusion; there seemed to be a faint layer of blood energy on the surface of her body, showing that the Dragon Soul Holy Blood Pill had been absorbed very smoothly.

A woman who is pregnant always has her emotions fluctuate unconsciously, and Cai'er was no exception.

After coming out of seclusion, Cai'er often stared blankly at her belly, seemingly troubled.

Xiao Yixian was the first to notice the abnormality in Medusa, so she asked: "Cai'er, I have seen you looking distracted lately; is there something on your mind?"

"It's nothing, just... I miss the Snake-People Tribe a bit. After all, I am the Queen of the Snake-People Tribe, and I haven't returned for a long time. I wonder how the tribesmen are doing now."

Cai'er cared deeply for her tribe; having been away for so long, she worried about their situation.

Mentioning the Snake-People Tribe, Xiao Yixian also remembered the Jia Ma Empire: "Actually, I also want to go back and see the little valley from before."

That little valley was where she and Gu Fei had met, and it was also there that the two of them had built a deep bond.

She wanted to take Xiao Xianle to see the little valley and remember that place.

"I wonder how the Desert Iron Mercenary Group is doing now..." Qing Lin also chimed in softly.

"Then let's go back and take a look together; there's nothing much going on lately anyway."

Seeing that they were homesick, Gu Fei supported taking them back for a visit.

Hearing this, Zi Yan jumped up and said: "I'm also going back to Jia Nan Academy to see the old man and let him witness my current strength!"

The old man in Zi Yan's words was naturally the Inner Academy Great Elder, Su Qian.

"Lately, I have also been worried about my child; I don't know if he has successfully digested the Companion Purple Crystal Source, so it's a good time to go back and check."

The Lion King also had his own plans.

Gu Fei looked toward Venerable Tianhuo, who had not yet expressed his stance.

"If you are all leaving, why would an old man like me stay here? Of course, I am coming along."

Thus, after the group finished their discussion, they returned to the Jia Ma Empire together to take a look.

When leaving, Gu Fei remained very low-key and did not inform his clansmen of his whereabouts.

Successfully leaving the Ancient Realm, they traveled through the Space Channel just as they had when they arrived.

The environment inside the Space Channel was dark and desolate as always; fortunately, the few of them were already accustomed to this feeling.

It was Xiao Xianle's first time entering a Space Channel, but with Gu Fei protecting her, she did not feel any discomfort.

The closer one gets to home, the more timid one feels; the closer they got to the Jia Ma Empire, the more fervent the group's hearts became.

……

Jia Ma Empire, Yunlan Sect.

Deep within the Yunlan Sect, inside a remote grand hall, soft lamplight swayed in the breeze, and a faint glow enveloped the hall, dispelling the lingering cold within.

The massive hall was empty, and only the white dress at its center could add a touch of human warmth to the space.

Yun Yun sat cross-legged on a prayer mat, her graceful and beautiful face currently filled with strange anger.

Earlier, the words her mentor Yun Shan had spoken to her had caused her body to fall into a state of icy coldness.

"Yun'er, prepare yourself; I am going to hold a wedding for you."

"Hold a wedding? With whom?"

"In the entire Jia Ma Empire, the only person worthy of you is that boy, Gu He."

"You are asking me to marry Gu He?"

"Of course."

"I refuse!"

"Then you will stay here until you have thought it through!"

This was the conversation between Yun Shan and Yun Yun—simple, direct, and devoid of any affection.

Thinking of the words spoken by her mentor Yun Shan, the chill in Yun Yun's heart grew even more intense; how could the current Yun Shan still resemble even half of the kind mentor she once held in her heart?

The Yun Shan of the past had cared for her deeply; it was precisely under his meticulous guidance that she was able to become a Dou Huang expert and successfully become the Sect Master of the Yunlan Sect.

But what about now?

In Yun Shan's eyes, there was no trace of emotion; he seemed like a cold wooden puppet, and the affection he once had for her had completely vanished, replaced only by exploitation.

This was too unbelievable!

During the time he advanced to become a Dou Zong, what exactly happened?

What made her teacher become like this?

And what about those few Elders who suddenly advanced to become Dou Huangs? Why did their strength suddenly increase so rapidly?

The entire Yunlan Sect now seemed to be shrouded in a haze from top to bottom, a haze that Yun Yun simply could not brush away.

"Must I really marry Gu He?"

Yun Yun slowly raised her hand.

Her Dou Qi could not circulate within her body at all right now, because Yun Shan had placed a Seal on her Dou Qi when he left.

Because she refused to marry Gu He, she had defied Yun Shan, and in his rage, he had sealed her Dou Qi and placed her under house arrest here.

In the room, there was also a Seal set by Yun Shan; she could not leave this place at all.

When people are helpless, they always think of the person they most want to rely on.

At this moment, a young, upright figure appeared in Yun Yun's mind.

"Where are you?"

A feeling of regret arose spontaneously along with this figure.

The person she missed was none other than Gu Fei.

Back then, for the sake of the Yunlan Sect, she had given up on pursuing the beautiful life in her heart.

She was the Sect Master of the Yunlan Sect, wanting to lead the Yunlan Sect onto the right path.

To let the Yunlan Sect be respected by everyone, to let the Yunlan Sect step onto a new height.

But what about now?

The Yunlan Sect had already become something neither ghost nor sect.

If she could do it all over again, Yun Yun would resign from this so-called Sect Master position without hesitation and follow in Gu Fei's footsteps.
