No Matter What, I'm Still Far Better Than You Cheating During Our Marriage!
"..."
Yun Yun's suddenly abnormal attitude made Gu Fei freeze for a moment.
Especially since Yun Yun was now holding onto his arm, her body pressed tightly against his.
His arm seemed to brush against some soft part of her body from time to time.
Even the cracks in Gu Fei's ever-cold expression seemed to widen slightly.
Moreover, this ambiguous physical contact was extremely subtle, making Gu Fei's heartbeat suddenly quicken.
His mind went blank for an instant as he felt his heartbeat become erratic and chaotic.
But Gu Fei quickly understood.
Yun Yun was acting this way because Xun'er had angered her with what she had said earlier. What she was doing now was deliberately meant to provoke Xun'er.
"You... how can the two of you!"
Seeing such an intimate display between Gu Fei and Yun Yun, Xun'er's gaze froze.
Xun'er felt jealous. Emotion Value +100
She stomped her foot, becoming even more jealous, and looked extremely angry.
"Gu Fei, I never thought you were this kind of person..."
"How long has it even been since we separated, and you already found someone new!"
"What exactly do you take me for?!"
Xun'er felt angry. Emotion Value +100
"Jealousy, anger?"
The system prompt faithfully informed Gu Fei of the changes in Xun'er's emotions.
Hearing her inexplicable jealousy turn into anger, envy, and other emotions, Gu Fei felt even more disgusted.
Xun'er had always been good at putting on an act. Right now, it was merely her possessiveness at work.
It was not as though she truly cared that much about him.
She simply did not want to see the man who had once loved her deeply have another woman by his side so soon.
And that woman was even no less beautiful than she was.
Gu Fei knew that although Xun'er looked furious now, puffing up her cheeks as if she truly cared deeply about him—
Once her Brother Xiao Yan appeared...
Xun'er would completely forget everything she had just said. She would immediately throw herself into Xiao Yan's arms without giving any of this a second thought.
Xiao Yan would always come first in Xun'er's heart. Gu Fei no longer cared to compete for that place.
"No matter what I do, I'm still far better than you cheating during our marriage!"
Gu Fei looked at Xun'er with faint contempt and spoke in a low voice.
His words were still filled with disgust and disdain, unchanged by the emotions Xun'er had displayed.
Gu Fei was utterly fed up with Xun'er's incessant pestering and tantrums. Without the rose-colored lens of his former love, he realized that Xun'er was merely a spoiled girl.
Even if he really did have something going on with Yun Yun, they were already divorced. He was free to pursue whoever he wanted—what did it have to do with Xun'er?
Why did she have to act as though she had caught him cheating, questioning him in the tone of a wife while pretending to be deeply devoted?
"I'm sorry. Just now... I didn't do it on purpose."
Hearing that exchange between Xun'er and Gu Fei, Yun Yun finally understood the relationship between them and apologized to Gu Fei.
At that moment, she realized that the relationship between Gu Fei and Xun'er was probably far more complicated.
Still, using Gu Fei just now had allowed her to vent her frustration to her heart's content.
Seeing Xun'er's jealous and angry expression earlier, Yun Yun had inexplicably felt a little happy, and the corners of her lips had even curled up in triumph.
Now that her anger had subsided, she released Gu Fei's arm.
Only then did she realize that what she had just done was far too bold.
It seemed that Gu Fei's arm had come into contact with sensitive parts of her body.
Yun Yun felt shy. Emotion Value +100
At the thought, Yun Yun's face became even redder than when she had emerged from the cave, and even her neck was tinged with a faint blush.
Even Yun Yun herself did not understand that her actions just now had not been solely about angering Xun'er.
A large part of the reason was that she had already developed some strange feelings for Gu Fei.
What kind of woman was Yun Yun?
She was aloof and noble. Normally, she would never get angry over such things.
If it had been any other man, even if Xun'er had spoken to her that way, she would not have angrily linked arms with him, much less boldly said such slightly flirtatious words.
Moreover, those intimate, ambiguous physical contacts—had Yun Yun truly failed to notice them at all, or had she silently consented to them deep down?
Meanwhile, Xun'er had already been silenced by Gu Fei's sharp words.
She was the most delicate and spoiled, and she could not quite bear the disgust and disdain in Gu Fei's eyes when he looked at her.
In the past, she had been the only one who could disdain Gu Fei. Since when had the way he looked at her contained nothing but negative emotions?
She sighed, unexpectedly feeling a little nostalgic for the past.
But Xun'er quickly realized what she was thinking. Her expression changed as she gritted her teeth and glared at Gu Fei in dissatisfaction.
"Miss, Young Master Gu Fei was probably helping that lady break through her seal just now!"
As an observer, Ling Ying naturally saw things more clearly.
He had noticed some changes in Yun Yun's cultivation aura and explained it to Xun'er.
"So that was it. They weren't doing anything disgraceful in there..."
Upon hearing this, Xun'er suddenly understood.
She could not help feeling guilty over some of the impulsive words she had said earlier.
In truth, this was only human nature. Yun Yun's appearance and temperament had indeed made Xun'er feel somewhat threatened.
"I'm sorry, Gu Fei!"
Xun'er intended to apologize.
But Gu Fei could not be bothered with her at all. He turned to the Lion King instead and asked, "Lion King, is there anything else you need to prepare?"
"Master, what worries me most is my child, who has yet to grow up."
"If I leave, I fear the magical beasts nearby may attack my child."
The Lion King spoke anxiously.
"There is no need to worry. I will place a seal in your child's cave to ensure its safety. In a few years, once it has completely absorbed the energy within the Accompanying Purple Crystal Source, it will be time for the two of you to reunite."
Gu Fei spoke calmly before heading straight for the Lion King's cave.
Yun Yun did not wish to face Xun'er and Ling Ying alone either, so she spread her Dou Qi wings and followed behind Gu Fei.
After the Lion King had given instructions to his child, the Little Purple Crystal Beast, Gu Fei began placing seals around the cave.
With his strength, the seal would not be broken unless an exceptionally powerful Dou Zong Peak expert or a Dou Zun powerhouse took action.
Next, Gu Fei climbed directly onto the Lion King's back.
Across the vast Northwest Continent, having a Rank 6 Magical Beast as a mount would be more convenient.
Its speed was not as fast as his own flight, but it was sufficient.
"Farewell. For the kindness you have shown me this time, if the opportunity arises in the future, I will surely repay it."
Yun Yun felt reluctant to part, Emotion Value +100
Yun Yun bid Gu Fei farewell, feeling somewhat reluctant to leave. She did not know what was wrong with herself.
This was the first time she had felt such strange emotions toward a man.
