"Xun'er, let's get a divorce!"
On the balcony of the bamboo house, Gu Fei turned around and looked at Xun'er, who had just returned to the room with a bright smile on her face, and said calmly.
"What did you say?"
Inside the room, Xun'er was visibly stunned after hearing Gu Fei's words.
Then, she looked at Gu Fei in disbelief, thinking she had misheard.
"I said, let's get a divorce!"
Gu Fei's gaze remained calm as he looked at Xun'er, his tone just as firm as before.
He was originally from Earth, but after a car accident, he unexpectedly transmigrated to the Dou Qi Continent.
Moreover, he became the grandson of the powerful eight-star Dou Saint of the Gu Clan, the Black Submerged King, Gu Lie.
In terms of age, Gu Fei was only a year older than Xun'er. The two of them were childhood sweethearts.
However, a few years later, the clan leader, Gu Yuan, suddenly decided to have Xun'er go undercover in Wu Tan City.
She was to look for the ancient Tuoshe Jade of the Xiao Clan!
At that time, Gu Fei wanted to stop it, but he was just a child of a few years old, insignificant within the Gu Clan.
He couldn't possibly change the decision made by Gu Yuan, the clan leader.
He could only watch as Xun'er was sent out of the Gu Realm by Gu Yuan!
After that, Gu Fei secretly vowed to find a way to bring Xun'er back.
Over ten years, Gu Fei's cultivation advanced rapidly, and he became the most dazzling genius of the Gu Clan. Even Gu Qing Yang, who was once designated as the young clan leader, paled in comparison.
His prestige within the Gu Clan even surpassed that of many of the older generation elders.
Afterward, Gu Fei applied to the Gu Clan's elder council to bring the clan leader's daughter back to the Gu Clan.
Moreover, he expressed his desire to marry Xun'er.
Given his current status and unparalleled talent in cultivation, even Gu Yuan was highly supportive of the marriage!
Gu Yuan immediately agreed to their marriage.
After Xun'er was brought back to the Gu Realm, clan leader Gu Yuan personally arranged the marriage between Gu Fei and Xun'er.
However, although the two were married, for the past six months, Xun'er had refused to consummate the marriage with Gu Fei, not even allowing him to touch her.
Her attitude toward Gu Fei was colder than that toward a stranger.
For over six months, Gu Fei had done everything he could to be kind to Xun'er.
But it all seemed one-sided; Xun'er did not appreciate it at all.
Today, Xun'er was so happy because Ling Ying had brought back news about Xiao Yan from outside the Gu Realm.
Before this, she had even had Ling Ying send the core Dou techniques of the Gu Clan to Xiao Yan.
Not only that, but she was also willing to give up the sub-flame of the Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame.
And this time, she asked Ling Ying to arrange a meeting with Xiao Yan in Wu Tan City three months later.
As Xun'er's husband, Gu Fei had never received a gift from her.
Now, Xun'er was even planning to meet with another man in secret. How could Gu Fei tolerate this?
"Gu Fei… stop this nonsense. We've only been married for six months!"
Xun'er's heart filled with a sense of foreboding.
Her pretty face tensed up as she spoke seriously.
"…"
Gu Fei didn't answer; he just looked at Xun'er calmly, with no emotion in his eyes.
Seeing Gu Fei's reaction, Xun'er realized that he wasn't joking.
"No, I don't agree!"
Xun'er's expression changed, and she shook her head.
"Haven't we been getting along well since our marriage? We've never even argued!"
"What have I done wrong for you to ask for a divorce?"
"I absolutely refuse to agree to a divorce!"
Xun'er pursed her lips and stared at Gu Fei resolutely.
As the clan leader's daughter, with exceptional talent, she was radiant in every way.
If she divorced Gu Fei, it would likely lead to malicious speculation from others, and her reputation would be ruined.
She would never allow such a thing to happen!
Ding! Xun'er has generated anger; emotion points +100
At this moment, a familiar system notification sounded in Gu Fei's mind.
After Xun'er left the Gu Clan, Gu Fei had fallen into despair, and it was during that time that he bonded with the emotion upgrade system.
By collecting emotional points from people with great fortune, he could upgrade his abilities!
It was because of this clear upgrade system that Gu Fei had been able to grow so rapidly over the past ten years.
"Getting along well? Heh…"
Seeing the extremely serious expression on Xun'er's face, Gu Fei couldn't help but sneer, "What right do you have to refuse a divorce?"
The Xun'er he once knew was cold but gentle. But now, all Gu Fei saw was coldness. Even after they got married, nothing had changed—they were still like strangers.
"Why don't I have the right?"
"Why should we divorce just because you say so?"
Xun'er was infuriated by the cold sneer on Gu Fei's face, and she shouted hysterically.
"Heh, you're already on the verge of cheating, and you still ask me why?"
Gu Fei sneered again.
He had liked this woman for many years.
Now, he had finally made up his mind to sever ties with her.
"Cheating?"
Hearing the word Gu Fei used, Xun'er's body trembled slightly.
Ding! Xun'er has generated extreme anger; emotion points +200
"You're lying! When have I ever cheated? You're insulting me!"
Xun'er's delicate body trembled as she pointed at Gu Fei and loudly retorted.
"Lying?"
A trace of disdain appeared in Gu Fei's eyes. He hadn't expected this woman to deny it even now. He said loudly, "Who did you just meet with? Did you think no one knew?"
"Ling Ying is my elder. During my years in the Gu Realm, Ling Ying took care of me. Is it wrong for me to stay in contact with him?"
Hearing Gu Fei's words, Xun'er was indignant and righteously questioned him.
"There's nothing wrong with contacting Ling Ying, but when you contacted Ling Ying, you were actually concerned about someone else!
"You care more about that old lover of yours than about me, your husband!"
Gu Fei said mockingly.
Xun'er's eyes immediately showed a flicker of guilt.
Ding! Xun'er has generated panic + anger; emotion points +100
"Nonsense! What old lover? I lived in the Xiao family for so many years and only treated him as a brother, like family!"
"I care a bit more about my family. Is that wrong?"
Seeing Xun'er continue to argue, Gu Fei's eyes showed even more disdain.
"Heh, a so-called family member with no blood relation, worth you hiding the clan's secret Dou techniques and even sending the sub-flame of the Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame?"
Gu Fei sneered, "And worth you constantly paying attention to everything that happens to him and even setting a time for your next meeting?"
"Are you already imagining how you'll tightly embrace your so-called brother the next time you meet?"
As he spoke, Gu Fei's eyes were filled with contempt and disgust.
For a woman whose heart didn't belong to him, no matter how beautiful she was, Gu Fei no longer had any attachment to her.
