BTTH: I married Xun'er, but she refuses to consummate our marriage!

"You put me, your husband, in what position?"

"We're married, but you can't control your own heart!"

Gu Fei's voice was low and chilling.

Xun'er looked up, staring at the cold expression on Gu Fei's face.

She wanted to explain but found herself unable to say anything.

In many ways, Gu Fei was right.

Now that she was married, she should naturally distance herself from other men.

However, she had been willful, never considering Gu Fei's feelings.

Or perhaps, she had considered them but had never cared.

"Enough, there's no need to say more, let's just get a divorce!"

"Since you are unwilling to give your heart to me, I'll set you free!"

Gu Fei looked calmly at Xun'er in front of him, his tone indifferent.

"I..."

Xun'er opened her mouth, almost saying, "I can give you my body."

But for some reason, the words stopped before they could leave her lips.

"Am I so unworthy of your trust?"

Seeing Gu Fei's resolute expression, Xun'er's face turned pale, her heart filled with sorrow.

"Is there any reason for me to trust you?"

Gu Fei retorted.

"I... I..."

At this moment, Xun'er's mind went blank, unable to form a complete sentence.

"Enough... Let's part on good terms, without making things difficult for each other. Tonight, I'll move out..."

Gu Fei had no intention of continuing the argument with Xun'er. Leaving these words behind, he turned and prepared to walk downstairs.

This residence belonged to Xun'er.

Previously, Gu Fei had complied with Xun'er in everything, so even after their marriage, when Xun'er expressed the desire to remain in her own home, Gu Fei had readily agreed.

Now that things had escalated to this point, Gu Fei naturally saw no reason to stay.

"No... No, you are my husband, you can't leave me!"

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Xun'er hurriedly turned her head, stubbornly pleading with Gu Fei.

"If you don't want me to leave, then let me ask you, will you consummate our marriage tonight?"

Hearing Xun'er's words, Gu Fei frowned, his eyes filled with an indescribable disgust as he asked one final question.

"I..."

Xun'er was at a loss for words.

She had thought about this before.

But now, she wasn't ready.

"Fine, tomorrow morning, I will go and inform the clan leader of this matter..."

This time, Gu Fei's steps out of the bamboo building were resolute, not stopping even as Xun'er desperately tried to persuade him.

...

By now, night had fallen, and the darkness enveloped the land. The cool moonlight poured down from the sky, casting a faint silver veil over the entire mountain range.

In the center of the mountain range stood a cluster of palatial buildings, rising and falling like ancient beasts, exuding an air of antiquity under the moonlight.

Gu Fei, alone, stood atop a mountain peak, far from these ancient palaces.

At this moment, the surroundings were extraordinarily quiet, reflecting the calmness in Gu Fei's heart.

"From now on, I won't spend all my energy trying to please Xun'er anymore."

Gu Fei exhaled deeply, feeling a sense of relief.

This mountain peak was where he had lived before getting married. It had been half a year since he last visited this place.

As he slowly walked toward his former residence, Gu Fei began to ponder his future plans.

This was the Dou Qi Continent, where countless people spent their lives pursuing the ultimate goal of becoming a legendary Dou God. Gu Fei was no exception.

Ten years ago, Gu Fei had activated the Emotion Upgrade System, allowing him to rise from an ordinary person to become a prodigy of the Gu Clan.

The Emotion Upgrade System!

The system's function was simple.

By directly or indirectly provoking emotional fluctuations in people of great fortune, Gu Fei could collect emotion points.

These emotion points could then be used to upgrade his various abilities.

In this world, nearly all the people of great fortune were those around Xiao Yan, the protagonist of the original novel. As the future Flame Emperor, Xiao Yan's fortune naturally far exceeded that of ordinary people.

Aside from Xiao Yan, most other people of great fortune were concentrated in the northwest continent.

In the past few years, Gu Fei had focused almost entirely on Xun'er.

To bring Xun'er back to the Gu Clan, he had trained diligently in the Gu Realm. Moreover, some members of the Gu Clan possessed a small amount of fortune, allowing Gu Fei to make rapid progress.

However, the difference in emotion points obtained from people with low fortune and those with high fortune was vast.

For example, by provoking an ordinary person, Gu Fei might only gain 0.1 or 0.5 emotion points, but by provoking someone like Xun'er, a person of great fortune, he could gain several hundred emotion points.

Therefore, to collect more emotion points, Gu Fei needed to gather the fortune holders of the Dou Qi Continent together.

Emotion Points: 4000

The next moment, a panel visible only to Gu Fei appeared before his eyes.

Gu Fei remembered that before he had asked Xun'er for a divorce, his emotion points had barely exceeded two thousand. But now, they had doubled to four thousand.

"After saving up these emotion points for so long, it's time to upgrade my attributes!"

A thought flashed through Gu Fei's mind.

The attribute panel instantly appeared before him.

Host: Gu Fei

Age: Sixteen

Power Level: Seven-Star Dou Ancestor

Aptitude: 101 (Grade 10 Dou Di bloodline)

Physique: 78 (comparable to a late-stage seventh-rank magical beast of the Royal Bloodline)

Soul: Early Spirit Realm

Techniques: Great Flame Heart Sutra (low Heaven-Rank)

Dou Skills: Flame Devouring Prison (high Earth-Rank), Sunburst Finger (mid Earth-Rank), Heavenly Star Steps (high Earth-Rank Movement Technique)...

Alchemy: Six-Tier

The system panel was very concise, and Gu Fei was very familiar with it.

"System, upgrade Alchemy!"

Gu Fei issued a command to the system.

Ding, Host's current Alchemy level is Six-Tier. Upgrading to Seven-Tier will consume 3999 emotion points. Upgrading now.

"Buzz!"

The next moment, a vast amount of information flooded into Gu Fei's mind.

Knowledge about alchemy rooted itself firmly in his brain.

Alchemy was a profound and extensive discipline.

Even the information the system had imparted to him was only the tip of the iceberg.

Gu Fei carefully reviewed the alchemy knowledge in his mind, completely immersed in it.

He knew very well how difficult it was to become a top-tier alchemist.

But as long as he had the system, the day might come when he could become an alchemist who could shake the entire continent.

He was completely absorbed in the system panel, and since he was on the mountain where his residence was located, Gu Fei didn't notice anything outside.

Not far away, a beautiful young girl from the Gu Clan stood there, quietly watching Gu Fei.
