Chapter 230: with translation of chapter title

Gu Xuan looked at Ning Rongrong, whose face had unconsciously turned red and puffy, and couldn't help pinching her little cheek.

Gu Xuan's action made Ning Rongrong even more eager to see what he would do next, while the others were either jealous or angry.

Naturally, the jealous ones were the rough men without partners, and the angry ones were the other four women.

Then, only seeing a flash of treasure light from Gu Xuan's right hand, he handed Ning Rongrong a blue crystal triangular cube.

Ning Rongrong and the others all stared at it for a moment: "Haohai Qiankun Cover?"

When Gu Xuan previously used the Haohai Qiankun Cover, they had all seen this thing; the Haohai Qiankun Cover actually possesses four abilities, and these four abilities make it incredibly strong—if soul power is sufficient, this undoubtedly equals having four extra soul skills!

Now that Gu Xuan has taken this out, how could Ning Rongrong not understand his intention?

But is he really giving me something so precious? Isn't this something Brother Gu Xuan obtained on the condition of getting engaged to that Xue Ke?

Gu Xuan said: "Rongrong, while I take Du Gu Yan and the others to obtain soul rings, you will follow me; along the way I will teach you how to use the Haohai Qiankun Cover properly, and afterwards this will be handed over to you."

Afterwards Gu Xuan glanced at everyone and said softly: "The Haohai Qiankun Cover is not as simple as it looks; with it, your journey to Sea God Island will go more smoothly, but my assistance to you ends here—your future path you must walk yourselves."

"You are all my family, but whether you can in the future step into that realm alongside me depends on your own abilities; in this regard I hope you can forge your own paths, while I am merely providing you with a direction."

Ning Rongrong solemnly accepted the Haohai Qiankun Cover, and like the others, loudly replied: "Understood! Boss (husband, Brother Gu Xuan, Elder Gu………)"

"'Husband' is what Du Gu Yan calls him, and this charming older sister increasingly wants to devour Gu Xuan completely………"

Gu Xuan was choked a little by the sudden 'husband,' but he didn't show much reaction, and he dared not look at Du Gu Yan, for fear he couldn't hold back!

Only seeing Gu Xuan continue to say: "I will arrange for the Zodiac Hall personnel to escort you; this also counts as letting them gain experience."

"'During the time I go help Du Gu Yan and the others obtain soul rings, you all make your own preparations; Zuo Yan will directly go fetch Shui Bing'er, and I believe she will make the correct choice, okay?'"

Afterwards Gu Xuan orderly issued the arrangements one by one, and then he took Du Gu Yan, Zhu Zhuqing, Li Li, and Ning Rongrong away from the Binghuo Liangyi Yan.

Before leaving, Gu Xuan returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect and plucked Gu Rong out, because his marriage to Xue Ke had still not been settled.

After all, initially it was merely a verbal agreement with the Snow Night Emperor; the two had not yet formally met.

Although they had met before, at that time they had no engagement, so they were unrestrained.

Now Gu Xuan intends to settle this matter before leaving; of course, mainly he wants to properly examine Xue Ke's talent to see if she is worth having Ning Rongrong and the others train with her on Sea God Island.

After all, she will be his future wife; if her talent is adequate, he cannot let Xue Ke just laze around like this.

As for the claim that in the future Gu Xuan will unify the continent and the the Heaven Dou Empire will become an enemy—actually Gu Xuan isn't worried at all; born into an imperial family, the role of these royal girls isn't just marriage alliances, right?

Even if Gu Xuan were to kill the Snow Night Emperor in the future, Xue Ke might not necessarily turn against him.

Of course, the Snow Night Emperor doesn't need Gu Xuan to act; Qian Renxue will make a move.

And as for the claim that in the future Gu Xuan will marry Qian Renxue as his sixth wife, letting her—who could become Xue Ke's father-killing enemy—share a husband with Xue Ke, Gu Xuan actually isn't worried either, because Xue Ke has no idea of Qian Renxue's true identity; as long as he doesn't say anything, it's not a big problem.

Needless to say, Xue Ke's appearance and figure are top-notch; however, when he previously played with her, Gu Xuan hadn't paid attention to her talent, so he naturally needs to meet her now.

Xue Ke is now fifteen years old; according to Shui Qinghe, she is currently rank thirty-five, her martial soul is the variant martial soul Wings of Light, hearing that her talent is not bad, but Gu Xuan still wants to meet her in person to confirm.

So in the afternoon, after Gu Xuan placed Du Gu Yan and the three girls in a hotel in Tian Dou City, he and Gu Rong entered the palace.

Upon entering the imperial palace, Gu Rong and Gu Xuan encountered no obstacles all the way, after all Gu Xuan would soon become the prince consort of the the Heaven Dou Empire.

Of course, these people currently don't know this matter; the reason for the smooth passage is naturally Gu Rong's status.

On the surface, as a ninety-five-rank Super Douluo and one of the two great guardians of the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect, Gu Rong rarely shows his face, but he only needs to give his name, and plenty of people will appear to lead the way.

On the way, the grandfather and grandson also encountered the Fourth Prince of Snow Avalanche; this guy is indeed sufficiently patient, and even though Dugu Bo is now gone, he can still endure silently under Shui Qinghe's command and survive to this day, which indeed makes him a talent.

However, this guy dares not provoke Gu Xuan, because Gu Xuan had beaten him before.

Snow Avalanche gazed from afar as Gu Xuan and his grandfather entered the temporary palace of his father, the Snow Night Emperor, his eyes narrowed, unknown what he was thinking.

Upon entering the Snow Night Emperor's temporary palace, the Snow Night Emperor had long known from his subordinates' reports of Gu Xuan and his grandfather's arrival.

Initially Gu Xuan said he would return to retreat and recover, but he waited half a year, and he thought that this brat Gu Xuan might go back on his word!

Now that Gu Xuan has come, his hanging heart has also been set at ease.

After all, in the Snow Night Emperor's view, marrying into the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect undoubtedly could better consolidate imperial power; although they gave away the Haohai Qiankun Cover, overall it is not a loss.

After all, the imperial family currently has no Titled Douluo; once they have this connection with the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect, future requests for Gu Rong to do something will be easier to make.

Now the Snow Night Emperor wears ordinary robes; his health has been deteriorating day by day, most affairs are handled by Crown Prince Shui Qinghe, and he merely does the final oversight.

On the other hand, Shui Qinghe now, even though he learns from his subordinates' reports that Gu Xuan has arrived, he also has no time to meet Gu Xuan, because the matters at hand are endless, simply cannot be finished!

In half a year's time, she has successfully absorbed and refined the second left leg bone of the Angelic Divine Armor, greatly increasing her strength.

Three years later, in the agreed-upon duel, she has absolute confidence of defeating Gu Xuan!

Of course, this is her own view; the actual situation will have to be seen in the battle three years from now.

Upon entering the temporary palace, Gu Xuan and his grandfather saw the Snow Night Emperor; he looked extremely exhausted, but the imperial aura belonging to an emperor remained, causing Gu Xuan to feel considerable admiration.

Needless to say, being able to become a sovereign of a nation, although the Snow Night Emperor's soul power cultivation is ordinary, this aura is something ordinary people cannot possess.

And although the Tian Dou imperial family lacks Titled Douluo, after Gu Xuan entered the Snow Night Emperor's temporary palace, he sensed the auras of three strong beings at the Soul Douluo level or above, hidden in the darkness guarding the Snow Night Emperor.

Upon seeing the Snow Night Emperor, Gu Rong also smiled; although he is a Titled Douluo, becoming in-laws with a monarch is also a cause for joy.

"Seven Treasure Glazed Sect's Gu Rong, accompanied by his grandson Gu Xuan, has come specially to discuss the marriage alliance with Your Majesty." Gu Rong clasped his hands before the Snow Night Emperor and spoke sincerely.

Upon hearing this, the Snow Night Emperor's formerly extremely exhausted face actually gained a hint of rosiness, and he laughed heartily: "The Bone Douluo has finally arrived; we have been waiting for Xuan'er for a full half year!"

Gu Xuan then stepped forward to pay his respects: "Gu Xuan, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Looking at Gu Xuan, the Snow Night Emperor was very pleased; he waved his hands and said amiably: "No need for formalities, no need for formalities; from now on you will be Xiao Ke's fiancé—just call me father-in-law."

Speaking of which, if one were to strictly distinguish seniority between Gu Rong and the Snow Night Emperor, it would be somewhat awkward, because Xue Ke is the Snow Night Emperor's youngest daughter, while Gu Xuan is Gu Rong's eldest grandson.

If one insists on calculating, Gu Rong's generation is actually one level above the Snow Night Emperor's, and his age is indeed considerably greater than the Snow Night Emperor's.

But since the other party is after all a sovereign of a nation, Gu Rong and the Snow Night Emperor still address each other as in-laws.

Afterwards Gu Rong chatted with the Snow Night Emperor, and then produced the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect's betrothal gifts.

There were piles of treasures; just the length of the gift list alone reached a full ten meters.

However, the Snow Night Emperor also placed great importance on this marriage alliance, preparing a generous return gift; in short, neither side loses out, and each can take what they need from the other's gifts.

Originally Gu Xuan wanted to meet Xue Ke right away, but the Snow Night Emperor said that Xue Ke, upon learning of her engagement to Gu Xuan, had gone to the Yue Xuan to study noble etiquette.

After Gu Xuan learned the news, he directly said goodbye to Gu Rong and the Snow Night Great Emperor, then went straight to find Xue Ke.

Gu Rong and the Snow Night Great Emperor also did not stop him, after all the two children had met before, so meeting now was no big deal, and it could even cultivate their feelings—why not?

Gu Xuan didn't know how long Gu Rong and the Snow Night Great Emperor had chatted, but he only took a quarter of an hour to arrive at Moon Pavilion.

Arriving at the Moon Pavilion's gate, although the two youthful guards at the gate had never seen Gu Xuan before, seeing his attire and demeanor were extraordinary, his whole body exuding a friendly and warm aura, the two guards at the gate respectfully welcomed his arrival.

Gu Xuan didn't rush in, but instead softly said to the youth on the left: "Please inform Princess Xue Ke that Gu Xuan has come to find her."
