BTTH: I married Xun'er, but she refuses to consummate our marriage! Chapter 61: Do You Think You're Past Your Prime?



Gu Fei rcilessly rejected her request again and again. Even soone with the thickest skin would feel embarrassed at this point. Nalan Yanran, who was never the most composed to begin with, bit her lip, feeling deeply uncomfortable under the gaze of familiar faces around her.

However, Gu Fei was her only hope for saving her grandfather. She couldn't afford to lose her temper with him, so she simply looked at him with a pitiful expression.

But Gu Fei remained unfazed, his face calm as he continued chatting and laughing with those around him. He didn't even spare her another glance. Feeling utterly ignored, Nalan Yanran, now deeply embarrassed, scrunched her face in frustration and quickly fled the banquet hall.

Yun Yun still sat quietly in her place, not having moved a muscle. She gently swirled the crimson wine in her glass, her cool and delicate face appearing even more flushed in the reflection of the red liquid.

Nalan Yanran, like a butterfly, fluttered over and fell directly into Yun Yun's embrace. She lifted her flushed face, eyes slightly reddened, and with her lips tightly pressed together, she looked utterly aggrieved.

"Master, no matter how humble I made myself, Young Master Gu Fei refused to help. What should I do?" she murmured, her eyes full of disappointnt.

Seeing Nalan Yanran in such a state, Yun Yun felt a deep pang of sorrow. She took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and made a decision. Yun Yun resolved to ask Gu Fei personally, fulfilling her duty as a master for her disciple.

At the banquet, just as the guests were exchanging drinks, a battle suddenly broke out in the sky above the imperial capital. Gu Fei glanced around and noticed that Jia Xing Tian had disappeared long ago. After pondering for a mont, he realized that Jia Xing Tian had probably discovered that Hai Bodong was still alive and couldn't resist fighting him.

In the dark night sky, several beams of light shot across like teors. Everyone was drawn to the intense battle and went to watch. The battle seed to be taking place near the imperial mausoleum, a usually secluded area of the capital. Yet tonight, it had suddenly beco the battleground for two Dou Emperor experts.

In the sky, two massive orbs of light- one white and one yellow-emitted terrifying auras. Within these light orbs, the silhouettes of two figures could be seen, clashing with each other. Every ti the light orbs collided, a fierce wave of energy rippled outwards, turning the dark night over the mausoleum into a scene as bright as day.

The white light orb carried an incredibly cold aura, freezing the moisture in the air into solid ice with every surge of energy. In contrast, the yellow light orb exuded a sense of solidity and steadiness, akin to the earth itself.

"Haha, old man of ice, I didn't expect that after all these years, your power would actually decline! Back in the day, your ice attacks were sothing I had to fear. But now, they've lost much of their bite," a loud, elderly voice laughed from within the yellow light orb after another fierce clash.

"Hmph, old monster, you haven't made much progress either over the years. Given your age, it seems your ti is running out. If you don't break through soon, your life will reach its limit. When that happens, without your protection, the Jia Ma Imperial Family won't be so comfortable anymore!" The figure in the white light orb retorted coldly.

"Is that... could it be the Ice Emperor?" soone in the crowd ntioned this once- renowned figure of the Jia Ma Empire, causing everyone to look fearful. No one had expected the Ice Emperor, long thought dead, to not only be alive but to be able to fight evenly with Jia Lao.

While the two fighters enjoyed their battle, Gu Fei had no interest in watching them. Seeing that most of the guests had already left, he took the Little Fairy Doctor and Qing Lin back to the palace. He had noticed Little Fairy Doctor's gloomy mood early on, so he decided to leave the banquet early.

During this ti, the Little Fairy Doctor and Qing Lin had been enjoying a life of luxury, sothing they had never experienced before. Both of them were very happy. After sending them back to their rooms and saying goodnight, Gu Fei returned alone to the room Jia Xing Tian had prepared for him.

As he entered, he noticed a beautiful figure outside his door. "Co in," he said. With his soul sense, Gu Fei had already encompassed the entire palace, so he knew soone was following him and that it was Yun Yun. With a wave of his hand, the door opened on its own.

"Gu Fei, we et again. I didn't expect to see you in the imperial capital," Yun Yun said as she stood at the doorway, still wearing the elegant evening gown that made her look both noble and alluring. She looked at Gu Fei with a complicated expression.

"You saw at the banquet earlier, didn't you? Why didn't you co over to say hello? Or do you think our acquaintance is sothing to be ashad of?" Gu Fei teased as he looked at Yun

Yun.

He had already received a system notification earlier and had sensed Yun Yun's presence outside the banquet hall. However, this woman had stayed outside drinking alone, unwilling to co in and greet him.

"No, I just thought that it was a gathering for young people," Yun Yun explained, her cheeks turning slightly red as she scrambled to clarify, surprised that Gu Fei had noticed her.

"Why, Sect Leader Yun Yun, do you think you're past your pri?" Gu Fei raised an eyebrow, a faint smile playing on his lips as he continued to joke.

"Gu Fei, do you really think that?"

Yun Yun's expression dimd, a touch of sadness crossing her usually warm eyes. It was clear she cared deeply about Gu Fei's opinion.

"Hehe, I was just joking!" Seeing her take his words seriously, Gu Fei quickly smiled and explained, "How could those young girls compare to you? In my eyes, your beauty and grace are like a celestial being descending to the moon."

And it was true. Yun Yun's experience and poise far surpassed those young girls. Every ti she appeared, the maturity and elegance she naturally exuded could capture everyone's

attention.

After saying this, Gu Fei continued, "You're here because of Nalan Yanran, aren't you?"

Still feeling a mix of emotions from the earlier joke and Gu Fei's complint, Yun Yun glanced at him with a hint of resentnt before lightly biting her lip and hesitating. "Gu Fei, please help Yanran. I know you've already helped a lot, and I know this request is excessive, but... if Yanran's grandfather dies, she'll be devastated..."

She had watched Yanran grow up and genuinely wanted the best for her. Seeing Yanran so heartbroken, Yun Yun couldn't bear it.

"Since you've asked, I'll help this ti," Gu Fei said after staring at Yun Yun for a mont before nodding in agreent to help.
