Chapter 671: Proposal

The appearance of the deity brought the atmosphere of the grand ceremony to its climax.

Nan Tianchen took the opportunity to announce the official founding of the Gu Lei Dynasty and conferred titles upon his ministers.

The few who had contributed the most this time were none other than Nan Feihuang, Lv Lingqi, Dian Wei, and Xun Yu.

At this very moment, all four could be called powerhouses who shook the world.

Nan Feihuang, having defeated the two titans of the Spirit Master world, Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu, in succession, was the world's number one powerhouse in name and in fact.

Lv Lingqi, who had killed three Elders of the Spirit Empire on the battlefield and defeated the Pope Bibi Dong, was ranked second by many.

Dian Wei, who had fought one against six on the Star Luo battlefield, killing five and injuring one, and later capturing Golden Crocodile Douluo alive, had become world-renowned.

Xun Yu, whose wisdom had already earned the admiration of the entire world, had planned the lightning-fast war that unified the continent; yet, as a civil official, he had also been able to single-handedly ambush and kill many experts of the Spirit Empire, slaying Ghost Leopard Douluo and capturing Qingluan Douluo and Guangling Douluo alive.

Only Nan Feihuang could command such outstanding subordinates, and it was no wonder that even the deity valued him so highly, personally descending to the mortal realm to guide him toward godhood.

Unlike the excitement of the common people, Qian Renxue, Lv Lingqi, and the others were somewhat anxious.

As soon as the ceremony ended and they returned to the palace, they impatiently snatched the decree of the Goddess of Life from Feihuang's hands to examine it.

"This is bad. There is only one year. The fact that the deity left today without giving you a chance for the first feedback clearly shows ill intent," Qian Renxue said worriedly; her intelligence was not low, she was just love-struck.

Or rather, for a love-struck girl, as long as she is not an enemy of her love interest but is instead helping him with all her might, her intelligence will rise sharply.

Therefore, she quickly arrived at the same possibility as Xun Yu.

"Husband, based on my understanding of you, you absolutely would not abandon those Spirit Beasts in your Spirit Sea, right?" Lv Lingqi asked.

Feihuang nodded, "That goes without saying. They all helped me on my path to godhood; if I were to abandon them now, wouldn't that be ungrateful?"

"Well said, Brother Feihuang, Sister did not misjudge you!" Xuedi and Bingdi praised.

In truth, when they saw the decree today, they were genuinely worried that Feihuang might just abandon them like that, in which case they would truly be scattered and destroyed.

"Then what should we do? That is a deity, after all," Xue Ke said, filled with worry. "Big Sister... Qian Renxue, do you have any ideas?"

Xue Ke's feelings toward Qian Renxue were very complex.

She had the blood feud of her father's death against her, yet she had also been raised by her since she was a child; Xue Ke's feelings for her were far deeper than those for Xue Ye, and to this day, she still missed the days spent day and night with Xue Qinghe.

Such complex emotions made her want to hate her, yet she could not bring herself to do so.

In the end, she could only choose to avoid her; since the two met in Gu Lei Imperial City, they had not spoken a single word, and they had not even looked at each other once.

But at this moment, involving her husband, Xue Ke could no longer care about such things.

Qian Renxue's Qian Family had always been the family closest to the deities; perhaps she might have a good idea.

"Ke'er, do not worry. That deity today should only be a Second-Class God. In one year, I will try to complete the Ninth Trial and become the Angel God. That way, I will be a Level One God and should not fear that mere Second-Class God," Qian Renxue pondered. "Good. In that case, I will return to Sea God Island tomorrow. Within a year, I will surely pass the Eighth and Ninth Trials of the Sea God," Lv Lingqi would never entrust everything to Qian Renxue; her husband was naturally to be protected by her.

"Good, good... both are my good daughters-in-law." Lan Xue and Nan Tianchen entered the palace hall with the others, and seeing the three girls so concerned for their son, they felt deeply comforted as parents.

"The three mistresses should not be too worried. Rather than worrying about that Second-Class God, it is better to think about two other people who are more worthy of attention," Xun Yu reminded them.

Lv Lingqi thought for a moment, "Wenruo, are you referring to Bibi Dong and Tang San?"

Xun Yu nodded, "It is indeed these two. With the Master's current strength, plus one year of cultivation, he may not necessarily lose to a Second-Class God a year from now. But a Level One God is a completely different realm, and the Rakshasa God is even a God King. That Bibi Dong has been undergoing God Trials for many years and has at least passed eight trials. Tang San is even cheating by using his great-grandfather's eight trials. I am more worried that they will both become gods in a year and even join forces to deal with my Master."

"Then what are your thoughts, Mister Xun?" Qian Renxue asked, cupping her hands.

The current Xun Yu was a world-renowned expert, and she had to show him respect.

"Both mistresses have guides for their God Trials; this is your advantage over Bibi Dong and Tang San. In truth, I do not have any good solutions right now, and can only request that you two pass your respective trials as quickly as possible. Only then can we have two against two and block the future formidable enemies. Mistress Xue Ke, your musical attainments have already reached the level of a grandmaster. Good music can soothe the soul and is extremely helpful for cultivation. The Master's subsequent cultivation will require your help," Xun Yu said to the three.

"Rest assured!" Qian Renxue and the others promised; they also understood that only by becoming gods could they help Nan Feihuang in the future.

Xue Ke was even more determined; she was the weakest among them, and if her music could be of help to Feihuang, she would do her utmost.

"Good. As for the other three, do not worry. The Master actually still has a backup plan, right?" Xun Yu looked at Nan Feihuang and asked.

"Truly, nothing can be hidden from you, Wenruo." Nan Feihuang smiled slightly, "Sister Xue, Lingqi, Ke'er, rest easy. I do indeed have other preparations. A Second-Class God actually poses no threat to me at all. Moreover, compared to this matter, another thing concerns me more."

"What matter?" the three girls asked in unison.

"To deal with future formidable enemies, I certainly won't have time to be the Crown Prince. And if something were to happen to me, what would the Gu Lei Empire do without an heir? So, my beloved concubines, will you marry me?" Feihuang said with a smile.

He was not worried about the God Realm at all right now; he just wanted to start a family quickly and then have a Crown Prince born, so that he could be free.

"You are not serious!" Qian Renxue said, blushing.

How could he propose in such a tense atmosphere? They were talking about serious business; how did he get so sidetracked?

However, it was impossible for her not to agree; she had already shared the forbidden fruit with Feihuang a few days ago.

One must know that their Angel Clan placed great importance on a sense of ritual. If Feihuang were still dragging his feet and not giving her a formal title a few days after the dust settled on the continent, she would truly dare to hold the Angel Holy Sword to his neck.

As for Xue Ke and Lv Lingqi, she had no choice.

Xue Ke was originally Feihuang's fiancée, whom she had facilitated when she was still Xue Qinghe; it was a case of suffering the consequences of her own actions.

As for Lv Lingqi, the blame lay with Bibi Dong; if she hadn't caused her and Feihuang to have a falling out for a period of time, how could this woman have taken advantage of the situation?
