145: Xun'er: I only went into seclusion once, his children

The three of them fled in separate directions. Gu Fei, as before, crushed them one by one with each hand, then vaporized them into nothingness.

Gu Fei made a powerful entrance, crushing Yan Luotian and the Three Elders of Mu Lan with thunderous methods. Everyone present was utterly stunned.

The allied forces of the Empires dared not move a muscle, terrified that with a single wave of Gu Fei's hand, they would all be reduced to nothingness.

"A warning to all great Empires: the Snake-People Tribe is under my, Gu Fei's, protection. Queen Medusa is my wife. If anyone dares harbor ill intentions towards the Snake-People Tribe in the future, they will be executed without mercy!"

"Now get lost!"

At Gu Fei's words, no one dared utter a single sound. All complied with his command, scattering like birds and beasts.

After handling these matters, Gu Fei turned his gaze to Yun Shan and Jia Xingtian who stood nearby.

"Yun Shan, you certainly have guts!"

These two, though somewhat scheming, had ultimately done the right thing.

"For your meritorious service in protecting the Snake-People Tribe, these rewards are for you."

Gu Fei tossed a Break-Sect Pill to Jia Xingtian and bestowed a Qingyang Pill upon Yun Shan. Yun Shan's hands trembled with excitement as he held the Qingyang Pill. He knew his gamble had paid off—the Qingyang Pill could directly boost his cultivation by one star!

"Having watched for so long, why not stay!"

Just as Jia Xingtian and Yun Shan were elated, Gu Fei's tone suddenly shifted.

He then reached out with one hand again, pulling out a black mist hidden beyond the battlefield. This person was none other than Iron Protector.

Similar to Guardian Vulture, he had gone to the Izumo Empire to support the Myriad Scorpion Gate, intending to incite war. Hearing news of the battle, he had come to harvest the Souls of the dead.

"Your Hall of Souls is truly like rats, burrowing everywhere! You're seen in every corner!" Gu Fei was thoroughly annoyed by the Hall of Souls.

"Senior, spare my life!"

Iron Protector pleaded, but he was still seized by Gu Fei, remaining a Soul entity.

"What exactly is this Hall of Souls? Why are its strong members all Soul entities?"

Seeing Iron Protector was similar to Guardian Vulture, Jia Xingtian and Yun Shan were puzzled.

"If Senior is willing to release me..."

"Bang!"

Gu Fei gave him no chance to ramble, directly crushing him into nothingness.

"With my display of power, the great Empires will surely not dare harbor any further disloyal thoughts. I leave the rest to you."

After intimidating and repelling the allied forces of the great Empires, Gu Fei finished his instructions and directly returned to the Snake-People Tribe's new territory.

Although the Snake-People Tribe had not migrated here for long, this new habitat was already taking shape on a preliminary scale.

In areas with flat terrain, there were often numerous houses built for the Snake-People Tribe to inhabit. They clustered together, forming settlements similar to Human Race villages.

On the outskirts of the Snake-People Tribe's territory, due to the rugged terrain, there were temporarily no walls or similar structures surrounding it.

Instead, watchtowers were set up at regular intervals. Additionally, in the sky above the periphery, there was a flock of alert demonic birds raised by the Snake-People Tribe. Any disturbance would trigger an alarm to the tribe.

In the central area of this region lay a rather vast basin, nestled between two tall mountain peaks.

The basin was extremely large. In less than ten days, a massive city had already risen within it.

This was the new Holy City of the Snake-People Tribe.

Xiao Yi Xian, Zi Yan, and the others had also come here, staying within the royal palace.

"The Snake-People Tribe's operational capability is truly impressive, taking shape so quickly!"

Arriving at this city that had sprung up from the Magical Beast Mountain Range, Xiao Yi Xian felt very surprised. Looking at the Snake-People Tribe's unique forms, she marveled at their formidable construction ability.

How could those with snake tails and human bodies be faster than two-legged humans?

"Now that the Snake-People Tribe has settled down, Sister Caier, you have nothing to worry about."

After wandering around the city, Zi Yan came before Caier.

"Yes, this time it's all thanks to my husband intervening and persuading the Empire's allied forces to retreat. Otherwise, how could our people live and multiply so peacefully!"

A bewitching curve unconsciously lifted the corner of Caier's rosy lips. The joy from the depths of her heart was impossible to conceal.

If the Jia Ma Empire had not revered Gu Fei's strength and willingly cooperated to make way, the Snake-People Tribe could never have smoothly arrived here.

Later, if Gu Fei had not taken decisive action, killing Yan Luotian and the Three Elders of Mu Lan, once the flames of war reached here, the Snake-People Tribe would have faced annihilation.

"You're my wife, of course I'll protect you."

Caier's face flushed slightly as Gu Fei suddenly appeared behind her, wrapping his arms around her slender waist.

Seeing Gu Fei and Caier becoming intimate, Zi Yan shot Gu Fei an annoyed glance and said, "Brother Gu Fei is so annoying, always doing things unsuitable for children."

With that, Zi Yan deliberately stomped her foot hard. Originally intending to pretend anger, she used too much force and ended up cracking the newly laid floor tiles of the Holy City.

Zi Yan sneakily glanced back to see if the intimate Gu Fei and Caier had noticed, only to find both staring directly at her. Zi Yan could only offer an awkward smile: "Sorry about that, I forgive you."

Caier was amused by Zi Yan's adorable antics, patted her little head, and said, "It's alright, I'll have someone replace the tile."

"But you need to be more careful in the future. After all, this is the Holy City of my Snake-People Tribe; it can't be full of holes."

"Got it, Sister Caier! I'll be careful!"

Having done something wrong, Zi Yan turned and ran off, looking exceptionally cute.

After Zi Yan left, Gu Fei looked at Caier again, and Caier also happened to look at Gu Fei. Their eyes met, filled with deep affection.

Caier's fair cheeks were tinged with a rosy hue, her sparkling beautiful eyes flickering. Gu Fei felt his vision blurring from the dazzle, his consciousness beginning to grow hazy as well.

He slowly lowered his head and kissed Caier's red lips. The two embraced tenderly, their passion overflowing within the new Holy City.

A long while later, they reluctantly parted. Caier licked her lips, savoring the lingering taste.

"Where are Xiao Yi Xian and Xian Le?"

"They are settled in the inner palace. The environment there is most comfortable, and with Snake-People Tribe experts protecting them, it's also the safest place," Caier explained.

"Let's go, let's visit them."

...

In the Ancient World, within a grand hall, a young girl hovered in the center, surrounded by golden energy that was now slowly dissipating.

The girl was none other than Xun'er.

As the golden light faded, Xun'er exhaled a turbid breath and opened her bright eyes.

This seclusion had taken a year and a half, greatly enhancing her cultivation. She had now stepped into the Dou Zong level.

At this moment, a trace of confidence returned to her face.

However, having been in seclusion for a year, Xun'er also felt stifled. After emerging, she wandered around the Ancient World to relax and incidentally gather some news.

"What? I only went into seclusion once, and his child is already a year old?"

Soon, Xun'er learned the news from her clansmen, her expression turning complex.
