Chapter 66

"Y... I... I didn't mean it that way. I'm just worried about your safety. What do you want me to do? Dig out my heart?" Gu Xin grabbed Huang Yu's hand and placed it on her chest, tears hanging at the corners of her eyes.

Seeing Gu Xin cry and so heartbroken, Huang Yu was at a loss for what to do. He couldn't bear to see women cry, so he quickly said, "Don't cry, it's my fault. I'm the one who's wrong. Please stop crying, okay? If others see, they might think I'm bullying you."

"You are bullying me, you are bullying me," Gu Xin said through her sobs. At that moment, there was no trace of the powerful expert ranked fifteenth on the Heavenly List.

"I... sigh..."

Suddenly, Gu Xin tightly hugged Huang Yu, pressing her whole body against him, and her fiery lips kissed him.

"Um..."

Huang Yu was kissed all of a sudden.

He wanted to push her away, but she held him so tightly.

In the end, Huang Yu couldn't resist that gentle, deeply affectionate kiss.

After a long time, when they were almost out of breath, they finally separated. Gu Xin's face was flushed, and she was so shy that she seemed like an ostrich, shrinking into Huang Yu's arms.

"Gu Xin."

"Mm, call me Xin'er," Gu Xin murmured.

"Xin'er, I don't deserve this from you," Huang Yu said softly.

"No, I like you, I love you. In this life, the next life, and the life after that, I will only recognize you," Gu Xin looked up at Huang Yu, her eyes filled with determination.

"But..."

"No matter what, even if you don't want me, I will follow you for life. Wherever you go, even if it's the eighteen levels of hell, I will have no regrets."

Moved, nothing but moved, Huang Yu tightly hugged her. With such words, how could he refuse? Besides, Huang Yu knew in his heart that he wasn't indifferent to her; it was just that there was still someone else in his heart.

"Xin'er, what have I done to deserve such deep affection from you?" Huang Yu said gently.

"You deserve it."

"Xin'er, Nephew Huang Yu." At this moment, Gu Tian's voice came from a distance.

Huang Yu let go of Gu Xin, but she tightly held his hand.

"Xin'er, Nephew, you two, good, good, good." Seeing Gu Xin and Huang Yu holding hands, Gu Tian's face lit up with joy, and he was extremely happy. This was exactly what he wanted to see.

"Father, I and Yu..."

"I know, I know, hahaha... Today is truly a day of double joy," Gu Tian said happily.

"Uncle Gu."

"Still calling me Uncle Gu? Shouldn't you change the way you address me?" Gu Tian glared at Huang Yu when he heard his words.

"Father-in-law."

"Call me Father-in-law."

Hearing this, Gu Xin's face turned red, and she pouted, "Father..."

"Good, good, good, I won't say it, I won't say it. Anyway, you'll call me that in the future, no rush, hahaha..." Seeing his daughter like this, Gu Tian didn't push Huang Yu anymore.

"Father-in-law, I killed someone," Huang Yu said, looking at Gu Tian.

"Killed someone, so what? It's not a big deal," Gu Tian said without a care, not knowing who Huang Yu had killed. "If someone provokes my son-in-law, they deserve to die. If there's trouble, I'll take responsibility."

"I killed Wang Jing," Huang Yu added.

"Wang Jing? Wang Zhongshan's son?" Gu Tian was slightly stunned, looking at Huang Yu with disbelief.

"The body is right there," Huang Yu nodded, stepped aside, and pointed to Wang Jing's body.

"Father, Wang Jing kept纠缠 (harassing) and even tried to kill Yu, so Yu retaliated and killed him," Gu Xin quickly explained.

"Don't worry, I'm not blaming you. Although Wang Zhongshan is powerful, he's not someone I fear. If he dares to come, I'll kill him too," Gu Tian said firmly.

"Thank you, Father." Hearing Gu Tian's words, the stone in Gu Xin's heart fell.

"Thank you, Father-in-law."

"What are you thanking me for? You two are my daughter and my son-in-law. How could I blame you?" Gu Tian said. Although Wang Jing's death would cause some trouble, he wasn't worried. In the past, it might have been a problem, but now that his cultivation had broken through to the Life and Death Realm, Wang Zhongshan wouldn't dare to provoke him. However, what Gu Tian was worried about was that although Wang Zhongshan wouldn't openly come to the Divine Stone Pavilion to harm Huang Yu, he would definitely use underhanded methods.

"Father, what should we do now? Wang Zhongshan won't let this go just because Wang Jing is dead," Gu Xin said worriedly. "Father, you need to think of a way."

"Don't worry. Wang Zhongshan won't dare to cause trouble at the Divine Stone Pavilion. The only thing to worry about is that he might send someone to harm you. However, as long as Xiao Yu doesn't leave the Divine Stone Pavilion, there's nothing to worry about," Gu Tian said.

"Father-in-law, that's not possible," Huang Yu shook his head. Staying in the Divine Stone Pavilion all the time was no different from being in prison. Besides, how could he grow if he didn't go out? If that were the case, he might as well die.

"Why?" Gu Xin looked at Huang Yu. "It's too dangerous outside. Your strength isn't enough yet."

"If I stay in the Divine Stone Pavilion, my strength won't improve. I'd rather die than live a stifled life. Since I dared to kill Wang Jing, I'm not afraid of being hunted. Moreover, pressure brings motivation. If I lack the courage to face challenges, how can I become a great power?" Huang Yu said calmly.

"You're right, Xiao Yu is correct. To become a great power, one must have a brave heart, a heart that dares to face life and death. The greatest experts grow on the edge of life and death. Without the test of life and death, one remains a flower in a greenhouse, with no future and no way to grow," Gu Tian agreed with Huang Yu. For a genius like Huang Yu, what was lacking was the experience of life and death battles. Only through such tests could he grow the fastest.

Hearing Gu Tian's words, Gu Xin became anxious and said, "Father, how can you say that? Don't you know that if Yu leaves now, he will definitely be hunted by Wang Zhongshan? Wang Zhongshan is a peak Yin-Yang Realm expert, and Yu is only at the Human Infant Realm. How can he escape Wang Zhongshan's hunt? You're sending Yu to his death. I disagree."

"My foolish daughter, do you think I'm the kind of person who would send my son-in-law to his death? I have my reasons for saying this," Gu Tian gently patted Gu Xin's head. "If Xiao Yu stays in the Divine Stone Pavilion, it might be safe, but it would limit his development. Moreover, do you think Wang Zhongshan won't act just because you stay here? Killing Wang Jing is like cutting off his hope, so Wang Zhongshan won't let this go."

"Father, are you afraid? Afraid that Yu will bring you trouble?" Gu Xin was angry and looked at Gu Tian with fury. "You're too selfish. Don't forget who saved you. If it weren't for Yu, could you have survived the heavenly tribulation? Could you have broken through to the Yin-Yang Realm?"

Seeing this, Huang Yu quickly grabbed Gu Xin and said, "Xin'er, don't talk to Father-in-law like that."

"I... hmpf..." Gu Xin turned her head in a huff.

Gu Tian smiled bitterly, "Xin'er, do you really think I'm that kind of person?"

"Hmpf."

"Listen to Father-in-law," Huang Yu pulled her hand and said, "Father-in-law isn't the person you think he is. He must have a plan."

"Daughters grow up and leave home." Gu Tian sighed and then looked at Huang Yu. "Wang Zhongshan doesn't know who killed Wang Jing yet, but he will find out. However, that will take time. During this time, you can prepare well. I know your character; you won't stay in the Divine Stone Pavilion forever. That would be a waste of your talent, and I don't want to stifle a genius like you."

Gu Tian paused and said, "However, for your safety, I have prepared two things for you."

Gu Tian took out a talisman and a storage ring.

"True Spirit Talisman?" Lulu's voice echoed in Huang Yu's ear. "He really is generous. That's a True Spirit Talisman, equivalent to two hundred years of his cultivation."

"What is a True Spirit Talisman?" Huang Yu was stunned and quickly asked.

"A True Spirit Talisman is similar to a Primordial Spirit Talisman. A Primordial Spirit Talisman seals the primordial spirit of a mystic beast, while a True Spirit Talisman is created by Yin-Yang Realm cultivators and above to protect their descendants or favored disciples. They seal a strand of their true spirit into the talisman, forming a True Spirit Talisman. This talisman has eighty percent of the user's strength but can only last for half an hour. A True Spirit Talisman can only be used three times. Gu Tian is now a Life and Death Realm expert, and the True Spirit Talisman he created can withstand a peak Yin-Yang Realm expert. This talisman cost him two hundred years of cultivation, and it will take him decades to recover. This shows how much he values you. With this True Spirit Talisman, you have three extra lives," Lulu explained.

Hearing this, Huang Yu was shocked. He never expected the True Spirit Talisman to be so significant. Looking at Gu Tian, he was full of gratitude. "Father-in-law, this... this is a True Spirit Talisman, you... you spent two hundred years of your cultivation, this... this..."

"True Spirit Talisman?" Gu Xin was stunned when she heard Huang Yu's words. She looked at Gu Tian, biting her lip. "Father, I'm sorry, I... I misunderstood you."

"Don't be like that, my foolish daughter. For you two, my cultivation is nothing. Besides, it will recover with some cultivation. Moreover, this cultivation is thanks to Xiao Yu. Without Xiao Yu, I wouldn't have survived, let alone broken through to the Yin-Yang Realm. Compared to that, two hundred years of cultivation is nothing," Gu Tian said.

"Father, thank you!"

"Also, here are ten thousand medium-grade spirit stones. Take them," Gu Tian handed the storage ring to Huang Yu.

"Father-in-law, this... this is too much. I don't need that many, and you just spent two hundred years of cultivation. You need to recover, and you need a lot of spirit stones. How can I take them?" Huang Yu shook his head. Ten thousand medium-grade spirit stones were a lot, and he couldn't deny that he wanted them. With these spirit stones, he could do many things, and cultivation required a lot of spirit stones. Without them, his cultivation would progress much slower.
