"Only a stroke of luck?"
"And that's it?"
Upon hearing Hun Tiandi's words, a slight twitch appeared at the corner of Gu Yuan's mouth.
Once upon a time, Xiao Xuan possessed three Heavenly Flames. He expressed his astonishment, and Xiao Xuan had said the same.
Now...
Hun Tiandi possessed over a dozen Heavenly Flames. He was telling him that it was just a stroke of luck.
This...
Was this how people acted these days?
Just a stroke of luck?
What a stroke of luck!
A stroke of luck to possess over a dozen Heavenly Flames in one's body!
Was this really a stroke of luck?
He was truly being played by Hun Tiandi. Gu Yuan didn't even know what to say.
Refining three Heavenly Flames in one's body…
That might be considered a stroke of luck.
But...
Refining over a dozen Heavenly Flames in one's body, and he's still calling it a stroke of luck?
Then what was considered normal?
If refining over a dozen Heavenly Flames in one's body was a stroke of luck, then why didn't this kind of luck fall upon him?
He also wanted this kind of luck!
...
"Ah..."
Gu Yuan took a deep breath, then exhaled, suppressing his shock. He finally said, "Hun Tiandi, why didn't I notice before that you're so good at pretending?"
"You're really good at this..."
Gu Yuan gave a thumbs up to Hun Tiandi.
"Hehe..."
Upon hearing this, Hun Tiandi's lips curled slightly. "It truly is just a stroke of luck..."
At this moment, Hun Tiandi finally understood why, in the divine book, every time Xiao Yan accomplished something beyond the ordinary, it garnered amazed and astonished reactions.
Xiao Yan always used to say it was a stroke of luck.
Just a stroke of luck.
Truly, he was fantastic at pretending, making people feel wonderful!
At least, at this moment, Hun Tiandi genuinely felt a sense of exhilaration!
...
"Alright... alright... Stop pretending. If you keep going on, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist hitting you." Gu Yuan waved his hand. Hun Tiandi was simply overdoing it, especially in front of him.
Hun Tiandi was pleased.
But it was vexing for Gu Yuan. He had reached his limit of patience.
If Hun Tiandi kept on pretending like this, he feared he might lose control and rush forward, raising his fist and smashing it fiercely into Hun Tiandi's face like a sandbag.
While pounding, he would continue to say, "You're even pretending in front of me? I'm your father-in-law, and you're pretending in front of me? Don't you have any restraint?"
Of course.
This was just what Gu Yuan was thinking in his mind. He was not truly considering whether he would actually confront Hun Tiandi.
...
Hun Tiandi said, "Just come at me with all you've got! Anyway, you won't be my opponent. Who's going to hit who? That's still uncertain."
Gu Yuan: "???"
"Damn it... he's gone and done it again." Gu Yuan felt even more frustrated. He didn't know what to do anymore.
Rush forward and punch him?
Indeed, as he said, he wouldn't be his match.
Frustrated!
Uncomfortable...
He didn't know what to do anymore. It was unbearable!
...
Seeing that he had played his part enough, Hun Tiandi withdrew the over a dozen Heavenly Flames around him.
Can't keep pretending.
He was afraid that Gu Yuan might really turn and leave!
"What's wrong?"
"Done pretending?" Gu Yuan coldly chuckled as he saw Hun Tiandi retract over a dozen of Heavenly Flames.
Now he wasn't pretending anymore?
Hun Tiandi smiled at Gu Yuan. "Firstly, I wasn't pretending! Secondly, I didn't mean to boast."
"I..."
Gu Yuan looked at the smile on Hun Tiandi's lips.
Saying he wasn't pretending, but saying he wasn't boasting?
Who would believe that?
Who the hell would believe that?
Pretending and boasting were written all over his face, and he said he wasn't? What a liar!
Hun Tiandi was quite devious. His words couldn't be trusted.
...
"Ah..."
Gu Yuan exhaled, calming himself down. Then he looked at Hun Tiandi and said, "Speak up! What do you want?"
In Gu Yuan's eyes, Hun Tiandi was pretending and boasting in front of him. You're telling him there's no ulterior motive?
What a load of crap!
Being from the same era as Hun Tiandi, nobody understood Hun Tiandi better than him.
This guy, in front of him, would say he wanted all the Heavenly Flames and then show off by displaying so many Heavenly Flames.
What did Hun Tiandi really want?
Gu Yuan had a rough idea in his mind. Hun Tiandi probably wanted his Golden Emperor Sky-Burning Flame.
But...
Hun Tiandi hadn't spoken yet.
So, he, Gu Yuan, also couldn't say it.
It was an unspoken understanding!
...
"Not bad at all." Hun Tiandi sent a gaze towards Gu Yuan, a gaze that said, "You're very clever."
Then he spoke, "I want the Golden Emperor Sky-Burning Flame within you!"
Gu Yuan said, "The Golden Emperor Sky-Burning Flame is ranked fourth on the Heavenly Flame List. If I just give it to you as soon as you ask, wouldn't I lose face?"
Hun Tiandi said, "Tell me what you want."
"I've never thought of getting a free ride from you. Tell me, what do you want in exchange?"
"Not bad, you always like to be straightforward!" Gu Yuan didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "I want a Supreme Grade Mystical Pill."
"No problem!" Hun Tiandi nodded quickly.
When Hun Xuzi reaches the Imperial Soul Realm and with the materials present in the soul clan, creating a Supreme Grade Mystical Pill wouldn't be a difficult task!
Gu Yuan raised his hand to interrupt what Hun Tiandi was about to say next and said, "Hun Tiandi, don't misunderstand."
"I'm not asking for an ordinary Mystical Pill."
"Hmm?" Hun Tiandi became a bit more serious upon hearing Gu Yuan's words. He already had a rough idea of what kind of "Supreme Grade Mystical Pill" Gu Yuan was talking about, but he still wanted to confirm.
"It isn't an ordinary Mystical Pill? What kind of Mystical Pill is it?"
"I want a Supreme Grade Mystical Pill of the highest quality!" Gu Yuan looked at Hun Tiandi with seriousness.
Across the entire Dou Qi continent, there were few Supreme Grade Mystical Pills.
But... a highest quality Supreme Grade Mystical Pill!
Currently, there was only one on the entire Dou Qi continent, the one that was once refined by the Pill Tower's Grand Elder!
"Alright!"
"I promise."
Hun Tiandi didn't hesitate. It was just a Supreme Grade Mystical Pill from the Pill Tower. He had been interested in it for a while.
Just...
He never had the time to "get" it.
Since...
Gu Yuan wanted it.
Then he would find a time and "get" it.
"Alright!"
Gu Yuan nodded upon hearing Hun Tiandi's words.
No unnecessary talk.
A crimson flame rose from his body, and Gu Yuan directly separated the Golden Emperor Sky-Burning Flame from his body.
As Gu Yuan looked at the Golden Emperor Sky-Burning Flame in the palm of his hand, he said with some reluctance, "Originally, I wanted to leave this flame for Xun’er."
"You are Xun’er's man, so it's fine if the Golden Emperor Sky-Burning Flame goes to you as well!"
Saying that, the Golden Emperor Sky-Burning Flame left Gu Yuan's palm and flew towards Hun Tiandi.
Upon hearing Gu Yuan's words, Hun Tiandi couldn't help but curse in his heart, "Damn it, Gu Yuan has played me."
Gu Yuan's words…
Hun Tiandi wanted to refute them, but!
He couldn't find a point to argue against.
In the end, he has no choice!
He could only extend his hand, grab it, and hold the Golden Emperor Sky-Burning Flame in his hand.
Then…
Hun Tiandi stuffed it into his mouth, and the Flame Mantra began to activate. Hun Tiandi said, "I accept the Golden Emperor Sky-Burning Flame. In the coming days, the Supreme Grade Mystical Pill will be delivered to the Gu Clan."
"I understand."
Gu Yuan nodded.
Saying that, he prepared to leave.
"Wait a moment!"
Hun Tiandi called out to Gu Yuan as he was about to leave.
Gu Yuan turned around and looked at Hun Tiandi, asking, "Do you have something else?"
Hun Tiandi said, "You're leaving just like that? Since you're here, shouldn't you go see Xun’er?"
Gu Yuan said, "How do you know I'm not going to see Xun’er?"
Hun Tiandi: "..."
...
Inside Medusa's residence-
Several days had passed.
In the courtyard-
The sunlight was bright!
On the cradle-
Two little figures were basking in the sun, sleeping soundly. Medusa sat beside the cradle, looking at the two sleeping little figures.
A happy smile adorned her face.
At this moment!
One of the maids approached Medusa and whispered in her ear, "Madam, two young masters are here to see you!"
"Young masters?"
Medusa was puzzled and surprised upon hearing this.
Young masters?
What young masters?
She hadn't heard anything about it!
Seeing Medusa's confusion, the maid explained to her softly in her ear.
Hearing the explanation, Medusa instantly understood.
So that's how it is!
It was Hun Tiandi's sons.
"Oh, I see now! They want to see their little sister. Invite them in."
"Of course, madam!"
The maid left.
Medusa looked at the two sleeping little figures in the cradle and said, "So you two little ones also have two big brothers now."
"In the future, you'll have two more people who love you, and no one will dare to bully you at all."
...
Soon…
Hun Feng and Hun Yu arrived in the courtyard.
Seeing the maid standing by Medusa's side, Hun Feng and Hun Yu quickly understood the situation. They immediately knelt down and said,
"Child Hun Feng!"
"Child Hun Yu!"
"Greetings, Lady Mother!" x2
"Hmm!"
Medusa nodded slightly and said, "You may rise."
"Thank you, Lady Mother!" x2
Hun Feng and Hun Yu stood up, but they kept their heads down and didn't dare to look at Medusa.
This was their mother.
So they wouldn't dare to look at her.
While Hun Feng and Hun Yu didn't dare to look at Medusa, she didn't hesitate to examine them. She murmured in her heart, "Funny, they look quite a bit like Hun Tiandi."
"You came to see your little sister, right? She's in the cradle over there. You can go!" Medusa said gently!
Honestly, Medusa hadn't been mentally prepared for this sudden addition of two sons.
"Yes, Lady Mother." x2
Upon hearing this, Hun Feng and Hun Yu nodded and approached the cradle. They looked at the two sleeping little figures.
Truth be told, they were quite small and very cute. As they got closer to the cradle, a sweet milky scent wafted over.
Looking at the two sleeping little figures, Hun Feng and Hun Yu both smiled. They could sense a feeling of closeness from their bloodlines. This was because they shared the same blood.
"Little sister?"
Hun Feng and Hun Yu looked at the sleeping little girls. For the first time, they felt that "little sister" was an endearing term!
...
Outside Medusa's residence-
Xiao Yi Xian, Gu Xun’er, and Zi Yan coincidentally bumped into each other. Clearly, the three women had come to visit Medusa.
Coincidentally…
Or not-so-coincidentally, the three of them met.
Meeting at the front gate.
All three of them were surprised.
They say it's better to come early if you want to be lucky, and here they were, bumping into each other. This must be... quite a big fate.
The three women coincidentally met, and a grand stage seemed to unfold around them, centered on the three of them, gradually enveloping them.
The three women didn't speak!
They looked at each other!
But invisibly, a battlefield of competition was unfolding, a battle without words.
...
"Why are you all here? Why aren't you going inside?" A sudden voice interrupted everything.
Hun Tiandi and Gu Yuan appeared.
The owner of that sudden voice was Hun Tiandi.
"Husband!"
Seeing Hun Tiandi's appearance, Xiao Yi Xian rushed towards him, linked arms with him, and established her dominance.
Gu Xun’er didn't move.
Zi Yan didn't move either!
"Hmph!"
Zi Yan snorted coldly, turned her head away. Hun Tiandi wasn't anyone to her. She didn't need to flatter Hun Tiandi.
"Father, why are you here?" Gu Xun’er walked up to Gu Yuan and asked.
Gu Yuan smiled and said, "Just came to see you. How's life in the Soul Clan? If you're unhappy, we can return to the Gu Clan."
Saying this, he looked at Hun Tiandi and asked, "You won't object, will you?"
Hun Tiandi said, "As I said, as long as Xun’er is willing to go back with you, I won't object."
Gu Yuan looked at Gu Xun’er.
Gu Xun’er declined, saying, "I'm doing well in the Soul Clan and I'm happy here. I'll return when I break through to Dou Sheng."
Hun Tiandi walked up to Gu Xun’er and gently patted her head, saying, "Xun’er, becoming my woman, Dou Sheng isn't the main goal! Dou Di is your target, understand?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Xun’er glanced at Hun Tiandi and gave him a big eye-roll.
At present, she was a Dou Huang. Her goal was to become a Dou Sheng.
And he just opened his mouth and said that becoming his woman meant aiming for Dou Di.
...
Hun Tiandi also understood the meaning behind Gu Xun’er's eye-roll, but he didn't mind.
In the future, when Gu Xun’er became a Dou Di, she would realize that Dou Di was actually just a small target, and that there were more terrifying existences beyond Dou Di.
To comprehend what lay beyond Dou Di's terror, one had to achieve the level of Dou Di.
Even he, Hun Tiandi, hadn't glimpsed even a bit of it. Ultimately, he was still too weak.
...
"You're here because you want to see the two little ones, right? Come on in!" Hun Tiandi spoke.
Saying this, Hun Tiandi took the lead and headed to the main entrance.
Gu Yuan, Gu Xun’er, Xiao Yi Xian, Zi Yan followed closely behind.
...
"Husband!"
Medusa saw Hun Tiandi and called out.
"Father!"
Upon hearing Medusa's voice, Hun Feng and Hun Yu turned their heads and saw Hun Tiandi walking towards them.
The two of them didn't hesitate. They became more reserved and nervous.
In their eyes, their father was towering and invincible. To them, Hun Tiandi was not just revered; there was an element of awe in their feelings toward him.
They revered him to the point of slight fear.
