My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

Gu Simu didn't quite grasp what Gu Lan meant.

But she didn't hesitate, nodding earnestly.

"I initially thought Blood Demon Kung Fu would be difficult, but it turns out it's not that big a deal."

Hearing this, Gu Lan couldn't help but sigh.

With her acting like this, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Gu Simu's speed in mastering Blood Demon Kung Fu surpassed even his own.

Back when he grasped the first level of Blood Demon Kung Fu, it had taken him very little time.

While Gu Lan was still marveling, Gu Simu suddenly spoke.

"Daddy, it feels like this Blood Demon Kung Fu isn't complete."

As her words fell, she cast a curious glance his way.

That single sentence left Gu Lan stunned.

Blood Demon Kung Fu was indeed incomplete—he hadn't passed down the second level.

"What I taught you isn't the full Blood Demon Kung Fu."

"But the next two levels come with risks."

At that, a spark of excitement lit up Gu Simu's face.

Just as she'd suspected, Blood Demon Kung Fu went beyond what she'd seen.

Without hesitation, she gave Gu Lan a respectful bow.

"Please, Daddy, teach me."

If she could master this technique, she wouldn't have to worry about failing to improve.

As she spoke, Gu Simu lowered her head, but Gu Lan didn't act right away.

For anything else Gu Simu asked, he'd never refuse.

But Blood Demon Kung Fu was an exception—he didn't want it to affect her.

His intentions were good, but Gu Simu started to throw a fit.

Seeing he wouldn't budge, she grabbed his arm.

"If Daddy doesn't teach me, I'm not leaving this place today."

Her antics gave Gu Lan a headache.

If he didn't agree, Gu Simu wouldn't let it go.

He knew this girl all too well.

With a helpless sigh, Gu Lan waved his hand.

A streak of golden light entered Gu Simu's mind.

As the power flowed in, excitement spread across her face.

"Thank you, Daddy!"

With that, she turned and headed out.

Watching her bubbling with enthusiasm, Gu Lan didn't know what to say.

"I wonder if she can handle it?"

Gu Lan knew the dangers of Blood Demon Kung Fu all too well.

He hoped Gu Simu wouldn't be swayed by this power.

With critical matters at hand, Gu Lan had no mind to dwell on other things.

Gu Simu didn't hesitate, heading straight to the cultivation secret place.

Stepping inside, she summoned her aura.

True qi gathered, and a layer of bloodlight slowly emerged around her.

This power was no ordinary force—sensing it, Gu Simu's face broke into an excited smile.

At this rate, it wouldn't take long for her to reach mastery.

…

In the dim hall of the Lava Clan, the Lava God had learned of the events here.

His face darkened, his eyes brimming with killing intent.

"Useless trash—can't even handle something so simple."

Annoyed as he was, some troubles still required his personal attention.

With a wave of his hand, two figures appeared before him.

"Go bring the young Lord back, no matter the cost."

His icy command fell, and the two figures shot off, vanishing instantly.

Chi Yang carried his power.

He'd thought the boy could hold his own, but instead, he'd brought an unexpected twist.

To think he'd be this useless—beyond his expectations.

If he didn't find a way to retrieve him, all his plans would fall apart.

Not just the Lava Clan—word had reached the Wizard Clan too.

In a resplendent hall, the Wizard God wore a meaningful smile.

Seated below him were Mo Xuan and others.

The Lava Clan young Lord captured by Gu Lan left Mo Xuan stunned.

But other ideas had already taken root in his mind.

Since that was the case, why not seize this chance?

He might even ignite a full-blown conflict with the Lava Clan.

After some thought, Mo Xuan stepped forward respectfully.

Approaching the Wizard God, he gave a deep bow.

"I have urgent matters to attend to, please…"

Before he could finish, the Lava God cut in coldly.

"Your strength is far from enough. You can't go."

Even without Mo Xuan finishing, he knew what he intended.

But the time wasn't right—let them fight it out first; it had nothing to do with him.

Hearing this, Mo Xuan swallowed his words.

With the Lava God speaking so plainly, anything more would be pointless.

"But I do have another task for you."

At that, curiosity flickered across Mo Xuan's face.

Before he could ask, the Wizard God waved a hand, sending a golden light into his mind.

As the power entered, Mo Xuan's expression grew solemn.

Finally, he gave the Wizard God a respectful bow.

"I'll go now."

…

Inside the palace,

Gu Lan's face was slightly dark, a chill glinting in his eyes.

His instincts told him the Lava Clan's powerhouses would act—they wouldn't abandon their young Lord.

Noticing Gu Lan's expression, Ding True Man and Zhongren looked puzzled.

"Is something troubling my lord?"

Zhongren asked, and Gu Lan nodded thoughtfully.

"You two keep a close watch lately. The Lava Clan's powerhouses will likely move soon."

Though they hadn't shown themselves yet, Gu Lan trusted his gut wouldn't steer him wrong.

Their move was just a matter of time.

Seeing Gu Lan so cautious, Zhongren and Ding True Man nodded in turn.

Bowing to Gu Lan, they respectfully withdrew.

Only Gu Lan remained in the Jing Nation palace.

He didn't dawdle, summoning his aura immediately.

Though he hadn't expended much before, he needed to recover now.

Only with enough strength could he handle these troubles.

…

As time passed, the sky gradually darkened.

At the same time, several figures appeared at the border between the Immortal Realm and Human World.

Coldly scanning their surroundings, they unleashed their auras and shot into the distance.

Their speed was incredible—in an instant, they were tens of thousands of zhang away.

They headed nowhere else but straight for the Jing Nation palace.

Stopping outside, a layer of true qi surged from their bodies.

Moments later, they pinpointed the Lava Clan young Lord Chi Yang's location.

Their gazes locked on, killing intent radiating without restraint.

Chi Yang's aura was faint now—if they didn't act fast, he could die at any moment.

At the same time, Gu Lan sensed the shift in the outside air.

His face darkened, his gaze shifting outward.

With these guys suddenly appearing, Gu Lan couldn't wait any longer.

Otherwise, something unexpected would happen.

What he didn't know was that he could sense them because they'd done it on purpose.

The Hongmeng Sword materialized, and Gu Lan stepped out of the palace.

In that instant, a blur flashed past.
