I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 1675 - 1679: I Am Willing to Marry Gu Xiao

"Father... he... he..."

Gu Qiufeng was almost scared stiff when he saw the scene unfold, "How did he turn into a half-human, half-beast form? Isn't this something that only those with Warcraft bloodline would do? But isn't he the biological child of my uncle and aunt? Could it be that our family or aunt's family have the Warcraft bloodline? Impossible!"

"Even your father doesn't know!" Not to mention Gu Qiufeng, Gu Meng's CPU was nearly fried!

In the Gu Family, there is an ancestral Bloodline Stone used to test if the bloodline of each direct descendant is pure at birth to avoid any disgrace to the family name.

Although Gu Xiao was destined to be a failure upon birth, he had undergone the Bloodline Stone test, confirming he was a pure Gu Family descendant. Moreover, Gu Xiao's mother was from a prestigious family in the Yanlan Empire, definitely possessing no Warcraft bloodline.

Of course, aside from this, there are other possibilities, such as mysterious and eerie Secret Techniques that can seize others' Bloodline Power. However, until now, it's only known that warcrafts can devour each other to enhance bloodlines, while humans can seize other humans' bloodlines.

Humans seizing Warcraft bloodlines sounds ridiculous; no one's heard of such precedence or technique ever emerging.

But this wasn't the time to investigate Gu Xiao's bloodline change; everyone's attention was focused on whether he could withstand the Thunder Punishment.

Zhang Menglong leaped into the sky, directly standing between the Divine Vein Golden Core and the lightning, seemingly ready to use his flesh to intercept this lightning that could instantly kill Divine Breath Third or Fourth Grade Martial Artists!

"Crack!" The black lightning struck Zhang Menglong, coursing through his body, causing faint white smoke to emit from him.

Yet the lightning didn't cause substantial harm to Menglong's body; those ancient power-infused scales deflected most of the lightning's force, leaving Menglong with only a tingling sensation.

"Goodness, this body is stronger than I imagined." Even in this half-human, half-dragon state, Zhang Menglong was only at the level of a Third Grade Spiritual Body, but his defensive and offensive power far exceeded ordinary Divine Cultivator Fifth Grade realm Martial Artists — the strength of Bloodline Power!

Zhang Menglong fell from the sky, landing steadily while grabbing the Divine Vein Golden Core that had survived the Tribulation Thunder. The golden core shimmered with seven-colored hues, resembling a round gemstone.

"Fifth Brother, this guy... was just playing us earlier!"

The princes originally intended to attend the Gu Family's wedding feast but rushed over upon hearing the news, witnessing an incredible sight.

The whole Imperial City knew Gu Xiao as a failure, yet he transformed into an immensely powerful Body Refinement master!

Even Fifth Prince couldn't confidently withstand the earlier lightning unscathed, yet Gu Xiao resisted it with just his flesh.

Had Gu Xiao demonstrated his true strength in their sparring earlier, there wouldn't have been any reason to fight — even the Fifth Prince could have been directly killed if Gu Xiao was seriously involved!

The other princes also breathed a sigh of relief; Gu Xiao was an excellent actor, and they thought he relied on lots of equipment. It turns out, he hardly needed them; indeed, those equipment were just limiting his power!

"Gu Xiao keeps surprising people." Watching Gu Xiao, Zhan Xun and Qing Kong shook their heads.

"Yes, who would've thought what he experienced these years made him so monstrous. Given some more time, the Guardian family of our Yanlan Empire may soon have the Gu Family at the forefront."

...

Zhang Menglong ceased the Half-Dragon state, while his formal attire remained unscathed by the transformation. He opened a delicate box, placing the elixir inside and handed it to Lan Xin, "Third Princess, the Shield of Courage was your first gift, and this Divine Vein Golden Core is my second proposal gift. Are you satisfied?"

Zhang Menglong smiled faintly at the Third Princess, "Of course, my earlier words still stand. If you think Gu Xiao isn't worthy of you, I'll turn around and leave at once, never troubling you again."

Lan Xin didn't take the elixir from Zhang Menglong's hand, instead gazing at him with mixed emotions.

Now Gu Xiao demonstrated his genius — not just as Yanlan Empire's top talent, but perhaps the top talent of the entire continent!

His veins were ruined, so he turned to Body Refinement, though just beginning, his Artifact Refining and Alchemy skills surpass anyone in the empire.

"Seems the Princess still doesn't want to marry me, Gu Xiao." Zhang Menglong shook his head, "If so, Gu Xiao withdraws."

"Wait," Lan Xin called out to him directly, "Why didn't you show your true self the first time you approached me?"

This was not only Lan Xin's question, but also Qing Kong and others'. With such ability, why would he willingly remain a scorned failure in the Gu Family?

"Actually, just a few days ago, I indeed was a failure," Zhang Menglong began his tense and thrilling storytelling.

"You remember a few days ago, a meteor fell on our Gu Family, right?"

Lan Xin nodded; she's vaguely heard about it, and Gu Xiao's residence happened to be impacted directly by the meteor. She even thought that it might have directly killed Gu Xiao, resolving their marriage contract issues without further effort.

"It wasn't a meteor," Zhang Menglong said, "but a Memory Fragment from an unknown entity. When it struck me, I fell unconscious, and upon waking, I had gained vast knowledge of alchemy, artifact refining, formations, and other types of knowledge."

"But I knew I couldn't protect these things with my abilities. I must have self-preservation power, and I discovered the method of creating a Bloodline Elixir in my knowledge. It could render my body stronger than a Warcraft's, but it required massive materials and money, hence my change of identity to Qing Yun Pavilion; it wasn't meant to deceive you."

"That's how it was." Though the experience was bizarre, only such an event could explain why Gu Xiao changed so drastically in such a short time.

"Damn!" Gu Meng and his son beat their chests beside him.

Unknown to them, Gu Xiao's room was initially reserved for Gu Qiufeng, but they swapped it feeling it was too remote to reflect their status in the Gu Family.

If not for the decision, the lucky one might have been Gu Qiufeng!

"I've answered your question, Princess. Is there anything else you want to ask?" Zhang Menglong smiled at Lan Xin.

Lan Xin blushed slightly, turned to Yan Tianyao, saying, "Father, I am willing to marry Gu Xiao!"
