Chapter 132
News of Gu Yang taming a peak Tenth Layer Yuanhai Realm beast spread swiftly across Chu Kingdom.
By the time Chu Emperor and Princess Chu Ling’er returned to the capital, they had already heard.
Their expressions turned strange.
“This fellow… truly a monster!”
The emperor couldn’t help but mutter.
He had pointed Gu Yang toward a path, but never imagined Gu Yang would actually succeed in taming a beast.
And if memory served, the only creature in the southern beast mountains that had reached the Tenth Layer of Yuanhai Realm… was the Flame Spirit Eagle.
Capturing a Flame Spirit Eagle was far more difficult than any other beast.
How had Gu Yang accomplished it?
The emperor marveled, though a trace of helplessness lingered.
Comparisons between men could be maddening.
After subduing the Flame Spirit Eagle, Gu Yang grew far more relaxed.
He had little else to occupy his days.
As for cultivation… there was no need to waste time.
Better to seek out spirit herbs or pills that could enhance his talent.
“Hmm? Pills?”
The thought made his brow twitch, his eyes flashing with sudden light.
“Of course! Why don’t I refine pills myself?”
He slapped his thigh, realization striking.
With his ability to modify, alchemy posed no real difficulty.
Besides, his talent was limited. He couldn’t always rely on rare treasures to break through bottlenecks.
If he could refine pills himself… both problems would be solved.
Excitement surged within him.
But Haonan Prefecture had no Alchemy Alliance.
Its pills were all imported.
As for independent refinement—few possessed the skill.
“I’ll ask the emperor in the capital. Everything else is nearly settled anyway.”
Gu Yang rose, gave instructions to Chu Liuyun, exchanged a few words with the Flame Spirit Eagle, and then set off for the capital with the fledgling eagle.
At Liuyun Sect, Chu Liuyun watched Gu Yang’s figure vanish into the distance, emotions stirring.
When they met again, how much stronger would Gu Yang have become?
Reflecting on Gu Yang’s growth these past days, Chu Liuyun could only marvel.
It was beyond what any ordinary man could achieve.
On the road, Gu Yang sat astride the fledgling Flame Spirit Eagle.
Though not yet mature, its speed rivaled its mother’s.
Even flying boats couldn’t match its full flight.
Other aspects still needed training, however.
Once they crossed into Chu territory, Gu Yang waved his hand.
“Go on, play nearby. I’ll find you in a few days.”
“Yes, Master!”
The fledgling’s childish voice echoed in his mind.
With a beat of its wings, it soared into the sky and vanished.
Gu Yang smiled, withdrew his gaze, and continued toward the capital.
Upon arrival, he sought out the emperor immediately.
The emperor greeted him with delight, ushering him into the palace.
Everyone in the palace knew of the legendary imperial son-in-law.
Curiosity filled their eyes as they watched him pass.
Gu Yang’s reputation had spread far and wide—even the royal family couldn’t help but marvel.
But Gu Yang hadn’t expected the emperor to arrange for him to live with Chu Ling’er.
When the emperor announced it, Chu Ling’er flushed crimson, shy beyond measure.
Gu Yang was surprised, but remained calm.
After all, they were already husband and wife, though not yet formally wed.
Living together was only natural.
“Heh, I’ll leave you two alone.”
The emperor smiled and slipped away.
Suddenly, only Gu Yang and Chu Ling’er remained in the room.
Their bond deepened quickly.
Morning sunlight spilled into the chamber.
Chu Ling’er’s face glowed with happiness as she nestled against Gu Yang’s shoulder.
“Take me out today?”
Gu Yang stroked her silky hair and spoke softly.
“Alright.”
She nodded eagerly.
After changing clothes and eating breakfast, they left the palace hand in hand.
“Hu… Husband, what do you want to see?”
Her voice faltered on the word, her cheeks burning.
It was the first time she had called him that.
“Hmm… Is there a place for alchemy in the capital?”
Gu Yang hadn’t forgotten his purpose.
“Alchemy?”
Her eyes lit up.
Though she lacked talent in cultivation, she excelled in alchemy.
She was already a Three-Pattern Alchemist.
Gu Yang had asked the right person.
“Of course! The Chu Kingdom Alchemy Alliance branch is right here in the capital.”
“Good. Take me there.”
Gu Yang’s interest stirred.
He had lived in this world for so long, yet had never seen the famed Alchemy Alliance.
Chu Ling’er beamed, gripping his hand tightly as she led him forward.
The sight drew countless stares.
“Isn’t that the Seventh Princess?”
“She’s holding hands with a man?”
“Who is he?”
“Don’t tell me you don’t know? That’s Gu Yang—Chu Kingdom’s number one prodigy. Though only at the First Layer of Baoyuan Realm, he’s mastered fist intent and sword intent, and can slay Yuanhai experts across realms. A monster!”
“What!? That’s Gu Yang?”
“The Seventh Princess and Gu Yang… they’re together?”
“They look perfect—talented man, beautiful woman!”
Exclamations rippled through the streets.
Gu Yang remained indifferent, long accustomed to stares.
Chu Ling’er blushed furiously, but when she heard people say they matched well, sweetness filled her heart like honey.
Soon, guided by Chu Ling’er, they arrived at the Alchemy Alliance branch.
Though not as grand as the palace, it was still impressive, bustling with visitors.
Together, they stepped inside.
At once, a woman in special robes hurried forward respectfully.
Her appearance was plain—likely a maidservant.
“Princess, you’ve arrived! The president was just speaking of you.”
She smiled, then glanced at Gu Yang, her eyes widening as she noticed their joined hands.
Shock flickered across her face, though she dared not comment.
“I understand. Xiaoyun, go on with your duties.”
“Yes!”
The maid bowed deeply and departed.
Chu Ling’er turned to Gu Yang.
“Come, I’ll take you to meet my teacher!”
“She may have a temper, but she’s truly a good person.”
Chu Ling’er spoke with delight.
