Chapter 153: Xun Er: If I hadn't divorced, I would probably have a child by now too!

In the sky, Xun Er stepped upon the clouds, not only displaying her beauty but also telling everyone that she was now a genuine Dou Zong powerhouse.

The current her was filled with that same confidence and ethereal air she possessed before marrying Gu Fei.

Below, many young men of the Ancient Clan were captivated by Xun Er's peerless beauty and otherworldly temperament.

On the black warship, the others fell into a brief silence due to Xun Er's appearance.

"Gu Fei's ex-wife seems a bit different from before!"

"This woman's cultivation is progressing quite fast. She was the same as me before, and only a year has passed, yet she's already reached Dou Zong..."

"The daughter of the Ancient Clan, this cultivation talent is truly not bad. No wonder my husband married her before... However, now that she has that rift with my husband, I'm afraid there's little chance for her to regain his love!"

Although Xiao Yixian, Zi Yan, and Cai'er did not speak, their inner thoughts were quite active.

The temperament Xun Er displayed now did indeed stir up a few memories for Gu Fei.

However, that was all it was.

"Daddy, are we there yet?"

Suddenly, a childish voice rang out, breaking this brief silence.

In Xiao Yixian's arms, Xiao Xianle, who had been sleeping groggily, woke up after hearing Xun Er's voice and rubbed her eyes with her small hands.

"Xianle is awake, come, let Daddy hold you!"

"We are almost home!"

Gu Fei smiled as he took the child from Xiao Yixian's arms; his attention was entirely captured by Xiao Xianle, and he did not look at Xun Er again.

"Yay... Tutu, we're going home!"

Xiao Xianle waved her hands very happily, and that furry beast also scampered over quite sensibly, rubbing its head against the little one.

"Is this his child? She's quite cute..." Ignored by Gu Fei, Xun Er's gaze lingered on the little one.

Looking at the little one's cute appearance, she subconsciously revealed a smile, but soon, bitterness gradually welled up in her heart again.

"If I hadn't divorced Brother Gu Fei back then, would I also be able to have such a cute child now..."

Xun Er fell into her memories.

Gu Fei's group descended from the warship and headed straight toward the small mountain peak.

A moment later, Xun Er watched Gu Fei's departing back, and the dejection on her face receded.

"As long as I persist, Brother Gu Fei will eventually accept me again one day... At least, I can feel that the way he looked at me just now wasn't as disgusted as before!"

On Gu Fei's small mountain peak.

"Sister Zi Yan, Tutu, wait for me!"

Just as Gu Fei and the others returned to the peak, Xiao Xianle intended to walk on her own, then began chasing and playing with the beast.

What was bizarre was that Zi Yan, as old as she was, actually mingled with the two little ones.

"It's time to extract that Dou Sheng Bone Marrow!"

On Gu Fei's side, not long after returning, he took out that Dou Sheng skeleton once again.

Subsequently, his Exotic Fire was summoned, the raging flames tightly covering the corpse.

After burning continuously for two hours, the skeleton gradually turned gray. Gu Fei reached his palm into the flames and then tapped his finger lightly.

"Puff!"

After his finger tapped the gray skeleton, with a puff sound, the skeleton softened and crumbled into a pile of gray ash. After all the ash had fallen away, ten milky-white, gel-like objects, each about the size of a thumb, hovered before Gu Fei's eyes.

These ten gel-like objects were tiny in volume, with a layer of gelatinous substance on their surface. Looking through the gel, one could faintly see the liquid flowing within, and a vast amount of energy quietly permeated out.

Next, Gu Fei took a jade bottle from his Storage Ring, placed nine of the Dou Sheng Bone Marrow Gel Pellets inside, and then, pinching the last one with his fingers, stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation.

The moment the pellet entered his mouth, it melted almost instantly. Following that, a stream of pure energy poured down Gu Fei's throat, surging toward his limbs and bones.

With such vast energy pouring in, Gu Fei immediately began to circulate his cultivation technique to refine it.

An hour later, Gu Fei finally digested the bone marrow energy completely. His cultivation had improved a sliver, and he seemed to be closer to Nine-Star Dou Zun.

One bone marrow gel pellet was comparable to an Eight-Rank Medicinal Pill that could boost cultivation, and the side effects were much smaller than those of a pill.

"Elder Zhuli, go call Zi Yan over!" Next, Gu Fei did not continue to refine the Dou Sheng Bone Marrow. For him, this thing no longer had much use, but for low-level Dou Zuns and those below the Dou Zun realm, it was a miracle medicine.

In the original story, the lucky guy only took one and broke through from a One-Star Dou Zun to a Two-Star.

"Many thanks, young friend Gu Fei!"

Beside him, Elder Zhuli seemed to understand Gu Fei's intention and nodded heavily.

His only purpose in coming to the Ancient Realm with Zi Yan this time was to let Zi Yan safely absorb the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit in this Ancient Realm.

And right now, Zi Yan's cultivation was too low; the chance of successfully refining the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit was very low. The higher the cultivation, the greater the success rate...

"Ah... this thing really was refined from those bones!"

Before long, Zi Yan was called over by Zhuli. She looked at the bone marrow gel pellet Gu Fei handed over, then looked at the ash scattered all over the ground, appearing somewhat reluctant.

"Don't want to eat it? Then forget it!"

Seeing this, Gu Fei did not force her.

Such a good thing was something most people couldn't even beg for.

"Zi Yan, don't be naughty. This is a good thing, hurry up and eat it..." Elder Zhuli urged Zi Yan anxiously.

"Fine..."

Hearing this, although Zi Yan was still somewhat reluctant, she quickly reached out and snatched the gel pellet from Gu Fei's retracting fingers.

"I'm swallowing it!"

Next, Zi Yan closed her eyes and swallowed the Dou Sheng Bone Marrow pellet whole.

The next moment, her face instantly turned bright red from the vast energy within her body.

The sudden influx of such terrifying energy caused the temperature of Zi Yan's body to rise rapidly, and wisps of white smoke even rose from her head.

Fortunately, Zi Yan possessed the royal bloodline of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, and with her formidable physical body, she was temporarily able to withstand the baptism of this energy.

"Sit down, calm your mind and focus!"

Gu Fei's voice rang out in Zi Yan's ears, and she followed his instructions without the slightest hesitation.

Very quickly, she felt a warm palm press against her body, and immediately after, that massive surge of energy began to be controlled by another force, circulating in a highly orderly fashion.

At the same time, Zi Yan felt her cultivation base begin to soar upward as easily as drinking water.

In just one day, she had already risen from the early Sixth Rank to the late Sixth Rank.

Furthermore, there were signs of a breakthrough to the Dou Zong realm, at which point Gu Fei stopped his assistance, allowing Zi Yan to break through naturally.
