"I didn't expect you to give us such a huge surprise when you came out. Not only has your cultivation advanced to Dou Sheng, but your Soul power has also entered the Emperor Realm. This potential is enough to convince those old fellows."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Se realized and immediately said, "Since that is the case, I will keep my promise. The grievances between the Xiao Clan and the Gu Clan will be written off from this moment on. Furthermore, if I rise to power in the future, as long as the Gu Clan does not cause trouble, the Xiao Clan and the Gu Clan will never be enemies for all eternity. During my lifetime, I will protect the safety of the Gu Clan."
The resonant voice, carried by the vast Soul power of an Emperor Realm Soul, spread to every corner of the Ancient World. At this very moment, everyone in the Gu Clan heard it.
Upon hearing this, everyone from the Gu Clan present, including Gu Yuan, all revealed satisfied smiles.
"Thank you, Big Brother." Xun'er walked to Xiao Se's side, stood on her tiptoes, and with a flushed face, gently kissed Xiao Se on the cheek. She knew that if it weren't for her, given Xiao Se's personality, the Gu Clan would likely not have a good life in the future.
Xiao Se smiled and rubbed Xun'er's little head, then turned his gaze to Gu Yuan and said seriously, "Father-in-law, could you please prepare a quiet place for me? I intend to resurrect someone."
"It is that Soul body hidden in the pattern on your right arm, right? Xun'er, you should take him to the place where you usually Cultivate in seclusion," Gu Yuan said to Xun'er.
"Big Brother, come with me." Xun'er took hold of Xiao Se's arm.
"Hmm." Xiao Se nodded and left with Xiao Xue and Xun'er. Gu Yuan's Soul had also reached the Emperor Realm; with his Soul perception, it was not surprising that he could detect the existence of Long Kui. In fact, it would be strange if he couldn't.
Before long, Xun'er brought Xiao Se and Xiao Xue to her usual Immortal Cave for seclusion.
It was a spacious and bright stone room, extremely luxurious inside, with all kinds of cultivation facilities such as medicinal baths, Medicinal Pills, Cultivation Techniques, and Dou Techniques fully equipped.
Rather than an Immortal Cave, it was more like a huge palace with a world of its own.
"Big Brother, this is the place. The Restriction here was set by my father himself. In the entire Gu Clan, apart from me and my father, no one can enter here." Xun'er formed a hand seal, and the stone door of the Immortal Cave slowly closed. Even so, the interior remained bright and did not dim in the slightest.
"Hmm." Xiao Se gently stroked the Demon Sword pattern on his right hand. A ray of blue light floated out, landed on the ground, and transformed into the graceful silhouette of Long Kui.
"Brother." As soon as Long Kui appeared, she couldn't wait to throw herself into Xiao Se's arms, her eyes brimming with tears.
Since Xiao Se entered the Central Plains, he had almost never let Long Kui come out, because Long Kui's Soul was too rare, even more precious than the Souls of some Dou Sheng powerhouses to a certain extent. And since the Hun Clan was particularly obsessed with Souls, Xiao Se was worried that Long Kui would be targeted by the Hun Clan, so he had always been very careful to protect her. After arriving in the Central Plains, he had not mentioned her to anyone. Even Qing Lin, who returned later, did not know of Long Kui's existence.
"I'm sorry, Long Kui, for keeping you waiting so long." Xiao Se hugged Long Kui tightly, as if he wanted to merge her into his own body. Although they were together all the time, they hadn't seen each other for over three years (PS: nearly a year in the Central Plains, half a year in the outside world, and three years in the Heavenly Tomb). How could he not miss Long Kui!
"It's nothing. Long Kui knows that Brother has always been working hard." Long Kui pressed her delicate face against Xiao Se's chest, her voice trembling as she spoke.
"I will refine a body for you in a moment. From now on, you will never have to hide again," Xiao Se said.
"Hmm." Long Kui nodded obediently.
At this moment, Xiao Xue, who was standing to the side, saw that the two had been lovey-dovey enough, so she leaned over and said with a smile, "Aunt Long Kui, don't just focus on Dad. Don't you miss Xue'er?"
As she spoke, Xiao Xue pretended to wipe away non-existent tears.
"How could I not!" Long Kui's pretty face flushed red. She smiled and let go of the arm she was holding around Xiao Se, stood to the side, held Xiao Se's arm with one hand, and raised the other to stroke Xiao Xue's head. Due to the height difference, Xiao Xue lowered her head very naturally, enjoying Long Kui's touch.
Looking at Xiao Se, Long Kui, and Xiao Xue, who looked like a loving family, for a moment, Xun'er felt like she was a superfluous existence. However, she was a woman who never easily backed down. Regarding her own love, she would boldly strive for it. Immediately, she gathered her courage and walked forward, greeting them gracefully.
"Hello, Sister Long Kui, my name is Gu Xun'er."
"I know you. Back when Brother was still in the Xiao Family and hadn't gone out for training, that Dou Huang under your command had once monitored Brother." Long Kui's beautiful eyes gradually narrowed, and her hair and attire began to flash with red light.
"I…" Xun'er lowered her head, feeling very self-reproachful in her heart. At that time, she hadn't recalled the events of their past; she was just curious about this youth in the Xiao Family who was hiding his strength, so she had ordered Ling Ying to pay more attention to him. The result was undoubtedly that it had caused harm to Xiao Se. Even later, for a long period, Xiao Se had been quite repulsed by her.
And when she recalled the memories from when she was four to six years old, she also began to understand why Xiao Se had hated her so much, even though it was their first meeting at the time.
Because she had done something that even she herself could not forgive. This could also be considered a knot in Xun'er's heart.
"Long Kui." Xiao Se placed his palm on Long Kui's shoulder and shook his head. The latter was slightly stunned for a moment before returning to normal.
Xiao Se walked in front of Xun'er, pulled her into his arms, and comforted her, "One must look forward. Let the past be the past. The key is to cherish the present. Look, aren't we doing well now?"
"Hmm." Xun'er's voice choked with sobs. She hugged Xiao Se tightly and cried out loud, "I'm sorry, Big Brother. I'm sorry."
Xiao Se gently patted Xun'er on the shoulder, comforted her for a good while, and only then began to prepare for Long Kui's resurrection ceremony.
"Red Kui, come out from the main body for a moment. I have something to ask you both." Xiao Se said to Long Kui.
Long Kui was dazed for a moment, and wisps of red light floated out from her body, landing beside Blue Kui and transforming into the red silhouette of Red Kui.
"Brother, did you call me out for something?" Red Kui threw herself directly into Xiao Se's arms, her jade hands wrapped around his neck, acting coquettishly.
"Hmm. I intend to resurrect you both now. There are two options, and I want to consult your opinions." Xiao Se looked at Blue Kui, then lowered his head to look at Red Kui in his arms, and said seriously, "One is to refine a body for each of you to resurrect you separately. The other is to be like before: one heart, one body, you in me and me in you, never to be separated. Just like it was in the past."
