Because Xiao Se was not only a Prodigy in talent, but also very flirtatious, especially flirtatious, extremely and outrageously flirtatious; it's not an exaggeration to say he fell in love with every woman he saw.
Careful people had investigated: the women who had ambiguous relationships with Xiao Se numbered no fewer than ten, ranging from the several-hundred-year-old snake-human Demonic Beast Queen Medusa and the sect leader Yun Yun, down to the twelve- or thirteen-year-old little girl from Jia Nan Academy's Inner Academy. Xiao Se accepted all comers.
Among them, several had even become pregnant with his children.
But it was such a person who had stolen the heart of the Gu Clan's heavenly pride and joy, Gu Xun'er, whom they had cherished so carefully—'afraid to melt her in their mouths, afraid to drop her in their hands.'
Watching Xun'er throw herself into Xiao Se's arms, they were angry but dared not speak out. They could only grit their teeth in secret.
After all, Xiao Se was stronger than all of them, and by his side stood the Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun, whose strength rivaled that of their own Clan Chief!
After a long while, perhaps because she had cried herself out, Xun'er finally raised her head, and with a nervous heart, red-eyed, she gazed at Xiao Se. She had long lost track of the tears streaming down her cheeks.
Looking at Xun'er's tear-filled perfect face, Xiao Se did not speak. He gently wiped the tears from the corners of Xun'er's eyes, his gaze full of tenderness.
Everything was understood without words.
This gesture from Xiao Se made Xun'er know that her beloved big brother had returned. She knew that he had remembered all the little moments they had shared.
Immediately, Xun'er could no longer hold back her emotions. She threw herself into Xiao Se's arms again, sobbing: 'Big brother, Xun'er missed you so much, so, so much. Xun'er thought you wouldn't come today.'
Xiao Se lightly patted Xun'er's back. His left hand rested on her fragrant shoulder. He curled his right index finger and gently tapped her delicate nose, saying softly:'Sorry, Xun'er, for keeping you waiting.'
Just then, Zhu Kun, who had been watching the couple flaunt their affection, could no longer bear it. He coughed a few times and said: 'Ahem, Xiao Se, I know you're a romantic, better at handling women than me, but you have to consider the others present. No one flaunts their love like you do.'
'Yes, Dad, you can't forget your precious daughter just because you have a new flame.' Immediately after, Xiao Xue's sour voice sounded in Xiao Se's ear.
'Uh,' Xiao Se's mouth twitched. He looked around and found that among the Gu Clan, except for a few Elders who were old and shrewd, the younger members were all glaring at him murderously, wishing they could flay him alive.
Gu Yuan's expression was not much better. Although he had sent the invitation to Xiao Se because he valued Xiao Se's displayed talent and potential, and because he did not want his daughter to continue suffering from lovesickness.
But upon seeing his precious cabbage being rooted up by a pig, as a father, his mood would certainly be far from good.
Xun'er also felt a bit embarrassed by the gazes of the crowd. She simply hugged Xiao Se's arm and hid behind him, secretly delighted. She thought: Although big brother has not fully grown yet, with the backing of a powerhouse like Zhu Kun, no one can stop her from being with him in the future. The Elders in the clan would even be eager for her to be with him. If she is with big brother, the Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun, who has the strength of a Nine-Star Dou Sheng at the Peak, would naturally be more inclined toward the Gu Clan. At worst, he would not side with the Hun Clan. The significance could not be greater.
Xiao Se gently patted Xun'er's jade-like hand, ignored the murderous looks from the Gu Clan's younger generation, and slowly descended to the square with Xiao Xue, Xun'er, and Zhu Kun. Then he clasped his hands in a salute to Gu Yuan and said shocking words: 'Your son-in-law pays respects to his father-in-law.'
Gu Yuan nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood. He had seen shameless people, but never one this shameless. As soon as they met, not only did he seduce his precious daughter, but he also directly called him father-in-law—this was a heart-stabbing move!
'Hmph, you're not polite at all. I just wonder how many fathers-in-law you have,' Gu Yuan snorted.
'In this World, you are naturally the first,' Xiao Se said without blushing or a racing heart.
Actually, Xiao Se was not lying. As for his wives, their parents had died before they became his wives. Zi Yan was not counted for now. The only one with a father was Dongfang Huaizhu, but Dongfang Huaizhu was not from this World, so what Xiao Se said was correct.
Everyone present, including Gu Yuan, showed an expression of 'believe you and there's a ghost' when they heard Xiao Se's words.
'Alright, the coming-of-age ceremony will proceed as usual.' Gu Yuan could not be bothered to argue. While transmitting a voice message to Xiao Se, instructing him not to break Xun'er's chastity before she breaks through to Dou Sheng, he gestured to Zhu Kun and said: 'Brother Zhu Kun, would you accompany me for a chat?'
'Let's go.' Zhu Kun nodded without refusing. He was not very interested in the coming-of-age ceremony of these young Gu Clan members. Among those present, besides Xiao Se who had saved his life and his adopted granddaughter Xiao Xue, only Gu Yuan was qualified to speak with him as an equal.
After Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun left, the coming-of-age ceremony proceeded as usual, and Xiao Se and Xiao Xue were arranged to sit in the VIP seats to watch.
This caused extreme dissatisfaction among the younger generation of the Gu Clan. Each one stared at Xiao Se as if he were their mortal enemy who killed their fathers.
Naturally, Xiao Se disdained these people. Adhering to the principle of annoying others to death without paying for their lives, he cast a mocking glance at them and said with a smile: 'I, a married man, have stolen Xun'er's heart. Now aren't you all feeling unbalanced and wishing to kill me?'
Pausing slightly, Xiao Se continued: 'I just love the way you hate me but are powerless to do anything about it.'
'Xiao Se, you bastard, do you dare to fight me?' One of the young Gu Clan Disciples who liked Xun'er could not stand it anymore and issued a challenge to Xiao Se.
But as soon as he spoke, he regretted it. Among the younger generation of the Gu Clan, apart from Xun'er, the one with the highest Bloodline and strongest cultivation, Gu Yao, was only at the Peak of Dou Zong.
On the other hand, Xiao Se was not only an eighth-grade PeakAlchemist but also a Dou Zun expert, and a high-level Dou Zun at that. How could he fight that? With his head?
'Oh? You like one-on-one fights?' Xiao Se became interested. He stood up and said mockingly to that Gu Clan youth: 'Your courage is commendable. I accept your challenge.'
'You...' The youth's face instantly flushed red. He struggled for a long time but couldn't utter a word.
At this moment, a Gu Clan Elder nearby could not bear it any longer. He stepped in to mediate and said kindly to Xiao Se: 'Young master is joking. How could this boy Gu Ling be a match for you? This old man, Gu Feng, apologizes to you on his behalf.'
As the saying goes, one does not strike a smiling face. Since the other party was amiable, he naturally would not put on a bad face. Moreover, the other party was a genuine Dou Sheng. With his current strength, he could not afford to receive such a courtesy. So he immediately clasped his hands to Gu Feng and said with a smile: 'ElderGu Feng is joking. How could I let you apologize? I also know these juniors act this way because they like Xun'er. I won't take it to heart.'
'Young master is magnanimous.' This move from Xiao Se made Gu Feng think more highly of him. Originally, he only valued Xiao Se's talent and potential, and his connection to the Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun. But now it seemed Xiao Se was not entirely a pure sex maniac as the rumors said. He was very measured in his dealings with people.
