Gu Xun Er looked up at the sky. It was already late, and the setting sun had dyed the entire mountain range golden red.
She took a deep breath, turned, and left the ruins.
"Tomorrow, I'll continue searching..."
She murmured to herself as her figure turned into a streak of purple light and vanished from the spot.
In the blink of an eye, several months passed.
During this time, Xuan Jin had continuously consolidated his cultivation while also beginning to refine the Emperor Blood. A single drop of Dou Emperor essence blood allowed him to swiftly break through to the four-star Dou Emperor realm.
After consolidating his cultivation, Xuan Jin began making arrangements for the wedding.
Saint Pill City, Pill Tower Branch Courtyard.
Xuan Jin sat on a stone stool, holding a list as he discussed the matter of bestowing titles with Ya Fei.
Ya Fei sat beside him with a brush in hand, diligently recording every word Xuan Jin said.
"Young Master, I've written down everything you mentioned. It will probably take half a month to prepare."
Xuan Jin nodded.
"Half a month, then. There's no rush."
Ya Fei smiled.
"Then I'll go make the arrangements."
Just then, Xiao Yi Xian hurried out of the courtyard.
"Brother Xuan Jin, Cai'er is about to give birth!"
Xuan Jin froze, and the list in his hand fell straight to the ground.
"What?"
Xiao Yi Xian panted.
"Cai'er is about to give birth. Hurry and take a look!"
Xuan Jin instantly rose to his feet, turning into an afterimage as he rushed into Cai'er's room.
Inside the room, Cai'er lay on the bed, her forehead covered in sweat and her face somewhat pale.
Cao Ying stood by the bed, holding a bowl of medicinal soup as she fed it to Cai'er.
