BTTH: I married Xun'er, but she refuses to consummate our marriage! Chapter 273: Emergency Summons! The Gift of Gold Emperor Inc



Gu Fei gently stroked the massive golden dragon head of the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning. As he gazed at this newly awakened intelligent being, a genuine fondness erged from his heart.

It was strange. For so reason, this Golden Lightning gave Gu Fei a sense of warmth and

familiarity.

"Little one!"

"You stay here for now. When you've grown stronger, I'll co to pick you up," Gu Fei softly said.

The golden dragon seed to understand his words. Its star-like eyes reflected a hint of reluctance. The next mont, it gently nuzzled Gu Fei's hand, letting out a low hum as if bidding a sorrowful farewell.

Gu Fei took a deep breath. He knew very well that the lightning pool was the best place for it to grow. Here, it could absorb endless amounts of lightning energy and grow rapidly.

Once this little one fully matured, it would indeed beco a terrifyingly powerful being. But there was no rush. Growth takes ti.

"Elder Zhushang, let's go!" Gu Fei said as he and Elder Zhushang left the lightning pool.

"Hehe, Little Friend, if you manage to refine the power of the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning, your cultivation will surely rise another level!" Elder Zhushang complinted Gu Fei once more on their way back.

"It was all just luck!" Gu Fei chuckled.

Of course, he didn't ntion that he had known beforehand that it was on the verge of developing intelligence, which was why he waited in the lightning pool for half a month.

Zhushang didn't press further, rely nodding in satisfaction. This young man was not only powerful but also humble, which was why the Dragon Emperor valued him so much. When it ca to judgnt, the Emperor certainly had an eye for talent.

As the two landed on Dragon Island, Zi Yan and Cai Lin were already waiting for them.

Upon seeing Gu Fei return safely, both of them rushed toward him.

"Big Brother! Are you alright?" Zi Yan hurriedly asked, her face full of concern, evidently sensing the strange energy from the void lightning pool earlier.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. In fact, I got quite a pleasant surprise." Gu Fei smiled, patting Zi Yan's head.

"A surprise? What kind of surprise?" Cai Lin, curious, also approached.

Gu Fei then recounted his encounter with the Golden Lightning and how he had helped it gain intelligence. Both Zi Yan and Cai Lin were left stunned.

"What? The Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning? That's an extraordinary opportunity!" Zi Yan exclaid in amazent. "I've heard stories about it since I was little. Ordinary people could live multiple lifetis without ever seeing it."

"Dear, your fortune is truly incredible. Being recognized by it and helping it strip away its power is a rare and precious opportunity," Cai Lin said, her face filled with joy.

"Alright, alright, stop praising so much," Gu Fei waved them off with a smile. "It was just luck. By the way, I'm planning to return to the Gu Realm. Cai Lin, it's been a while since you've seen the children, hasn't it?"

Cai Lin nodded, her eyes reflecting a bit of longing. "Yes, I've been in seclusion for a while. It's ti to go back and check on them."

Zi Yan looked a bit downcast upon hearing that they were leaving. Although she wanted to go, as the Dragon Emperor, she couldn't stay away from her tribe for too long.

"With our current strength, traveling back and forth won't take long. Whenever you want to see , just co," Gu Fei said, understanding her feelings, and pulled her into a gentle embrace.

"Mhm, Big Brother, go on ahead. I'll miss you," Zi Yan replied, snuggling into his arms. "I'll miss you too," he whispered, stroking her hair.

After a tender farewell, Gu Fei and Cai Lin embarked on their journey back to the Gu Realm. Along the way, the two exchanged stories about their recent experiences, and the atmosphere remained harmonious.

By the ti they returned, night had already fallen. The moonlight poured down like water, draping the entire realm in a layer of silver.

"Mother!"

Just as they stepped onto the mountain, a young voice rang out. A small figure darted toward them like an arrow, crashing into Cai Lin's arms.

"Shuang'er, did you miss ?" Cai Lin asked tenderly, cradling the child with a loving smile. "Yes! I missed you every day!" the child nodded vigorously, tears of joy glistening in their

eyes.

"Silly child." She kissed her child on the cheek. "Don't worry. I won't leave you for so long ever again."

"Auntie!"

At that mont, another sweet voice called out. "Auntie, Xian Yue missed you too!"

Xian Yue ran over, a bright smile on her face. She hugged Cai Lin's leg, looking up at her with a playful grin.

Cai Lin stroked Xian Yue's now-grown face. "You've grown into such a beautiful young lady." "Really?" Xian Yue's face lit up with happiness, then she shot a glare at Wushuang. Not long ago, he had teased her, saying she was becoming more fierce and less feminine, claiming she wouldn't find a husband.

"Sister Cai Lin, you're back!" Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin soon arrived, expressing their joy at seeing her again. The group chatted, sharing how much they had missed each other.

Gu Fei stood aside, watching the heartwarming scene unfold, and a sense of warmth filled his heart. This was what it felt like to be ho. With that thought, a soft smile appeared on his face as he sat down nearby.

However, the peaceful atmosphere didn't last long.

"Young Master!"

"You're needed by the Clan Leader and elders in the main hall imdiately!" A clan elder hurried over.

Hearing this, he frowned slightly. The Clan Leader was summoning him? Could it be... had sothing been discovered about the Hun Clan? Or perhaps the Ling Clan or Shi Clan had

encountered trouble?

His heart tightened at the thought.

"You all go ahead and rest. I'll go see what the Clan Leader wants," he said to Cai Lin and the

others.

She nodded, taking the children with her to rest.

Gu Fei followed the elder toward the main hall, his mind racing. The Hun Clan had always been their greatest threat. If there was any movent from them, the situation could beco

very serious.

And the Clan Leader wasn't the type to summon him in such haste unless it was sothing

urgent.

Before long, he arrived at the grand hall. He pushed open the heavy doors and strode inside.

Inside, Gu Yuan sat at the head, his gaze sweeping over the hall with an air of authority. The other elders were also present.

But sothing about the atmosphere felt... odd.
