CHAPTER 449: CHAPTER 338: SOARING STRENGTH (SEEKING SUBSCRIPTION, SEEKING MONTHLY TICKETS)

On the martial stage.

Gu Pengyou was stunned in place after hearing her second uncle’s words. The slight joy from just defeating Gu Huan had completely evaporated.

She never expected her second uncle to spring this on her.

Her eyes fell on Chen Xuan, gentle and refined, with a handsome appearance and strength that was unquestionable.

Far stronger than her second uncle.

At this moment, Gu Huan wore a bitter expression. Having just been defeated, now witnessing this scene, he sighed deeply from the double blow in his heart.

His peripheral vision caught sight of Gu Pengyou in the distance.

He finally forced himself to turn his head, not daring to look at her.

At this moment, he truly feared he might not hold back and say something inappropriate.

"Perhaps... this is fate!"

"Heh heh!"

He let out a tragic laugh in his heart.

"Brother Gu, what do you mean...?"

Chen Xuan slowly spoke.

After beating around the bush, it was clear this was his intention.

"I think Pengyou and Brother Xuan are a great match!"

"Pengyou is the number one beauty in September City, exceptional in both learning and talent. As for Brother Xuan, nothing more needs to be said, his future is limitless."

"So I discussed with my younger brother, if Brother Xuan is interested, you two would make a great couple."

Gu Yun also didn’t beat around the bush anymore and directly expressed his true intentions.

This time, Chen Xuan did not answer him directly but looked at Gu Pengyou and asked, "What’s your opinion?"

Gu Pengyou was indeed beautiful and excellent.

But he knew all of this was Gu Yun and his brother’s idea; he wanted to know what Gu Pengyou’s attitude was.

After all, a forced melon is not sweet.

More importantly, he didn’t like it like this.

"I...."

Gu Pengyou opened her mouth, but didn’t know whether to agree or refuse.

It was too sudden, and it concerned her marriage.

As a member of the Gu Family, she naturally knew everything was for the family.

And seeing her father and second uncle’s attitude, they wanted to match her with Chen Xuan.

After a long time...

She stood there, and in the end, didn’t say another word.

"It’s understandable, after all, this is not a small matter!"

Chen Xuan could understand her.

He wasn’t the least bit angry, and continued to say, "I will stay in September City for a while, so there’s no rush before I return to rMolan Mansion."

"Of course, you don’t need any concerns; follow your heart."

"Regardless of the decision, I will protect you in the Burial Grounds, this I promise you."

After speaking, he got up and took his leave from Gu Yun.

Stepping into the air, he left.

Gu Pengyou looked complexly in the direction he departed.

After a long sigh, she came in front of Gu Yun, "Second Uncle, Father, let me think about it!"

"Hmm!"

Gu Yun nodded, but still advised, "You should know how he is. Although your second uncle and father have certain personal motives, he is probably your best choice."

"This... Second Uncle can assure!"

He was still quite fond of Gu Pengyou.

Choosing Chen Xuan, of course, was also carefully considered with Gu Xiang.

Although it was largely for the benefit of the Gu Family, as a member, it was necessary.

Even he and Gu Xiang had many marriages of convenience with families in September City for the family’s growth.

Compared to now, she couldn’t even count how many times better off she was.

As soon as Chen Xuan expressed a desire for a woman, who knows how many families would line up to offer him one.

"I understand!"

She slightly bowed and then left the place.

...

Seven days flew by without notice.

The Extreme Yin Moment had passed.

At the entrance to the Demon Realm.

"Finally, it’s over."

Qin Hong slowly said.

However... looking at the death list in his hand, a thick stack, his face didn’t look good.

Although this time was only a short few days.

The number of deaths was not less than before, indeed, those above the Profound Realm, especially the Dao Realm, saw six deaths this time.

And they only managed to kill two.

If Chen Xuan hadn’t killed nine in the Dao Realm, this would have been a dismal victory for him.

Compared to before, he should be at the bottom among the Imperial Family.

"Losing six in the Dao Realm while killing eleven, this outcome should be better than the other princes. The Fourth Prince will probably bring joy to Emperor Yu upon returning."

Jing Shishu spoke at this time, and saying such words represented his sentiment.

No other choice; he benefited from this.

It’s essential to manage social relations.

"Thank you, Grand Commander Jing."

Qin Hong was also well aware.

Jing Shishu nodded slightly.

The two of them understood each other.

"Tomorrow, you head back to September City first and meet Xuan Er, this time... hasn’t he made significant contributions?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Qin Ying.

"Of course!"

She replied with pride.

...

August Inn.

Chen Xuan slowly opened his eyes and twisted his somewhat sore neck.

This time, cultivation took five days.

After absorbing another inner core, his strength had greatly increased.

Moreover....

Looking at the nearly empty bottle of Heaven-Reaching Spirit Wood Liquid, there were only about five or six drops left.

"It’s truly good stuff, just... not very useful anymore."

As more Heaven-Reaching Spirit Wood Liquid was absorbed, its effects became increasingly weak.

Now one drop was entirely useless.

But... since consuming so many drops of Heaven-Reaching Spirit Wood Liquid, his cultivation speed had leapt several levels.

Now, with one day’s cultivation, his Nine Elements Dao Skill could progress by about 200,000 to 300,000.

More than doubling from before.

"System!"
