My Antique Mirror Is A Portal To Another World-Chapter 525: Success

Raising an eyebrow slightly, Gui Ying replied matter-of-factly, "It’s Gui Xiaoxu."

Gui Fan and the elders became speechless upon hearing this.

"..." Why did these brats become stranger with each generation?

Unaware of their thoughts, Gui Ying smiled. "Grandfather, I still have things to take care of. I will leave the rest to you. See you later."

Without waiting for his grandfather’s response, Gui Ying snapped his fingers and disappeared, taking the golden cocoon with him.

Regaining his senses, the First Elder glanced at the destroyed Ning Jing Palace. He hesitated for a moment and then said, "Old Master... we may need to visit the Celestial Realm again."

Hearing this, Gui Fan and the other elders froze. A few seconds later, the elders let out long sighs in unison while looking at Gui Fan with pity.

Noticing this, Gui Fan beat his chest in frustration. "What a sin! This unfilial grandson will empty our treasury sooner or later!"

While Gui Fan was crying for his empty wallet, Gui Ying brought the golden cocoon to Xiqiang City. Using his divine sense, he searched for Bai Hanyun and located her in the Great General’s Mansion.

Appearing in the main courtyard, Gui Ying found Bai Hanyun lounging in the garden, watching a drama on her laptop.

"Fairy Bai, what are you watching?" Gui Ying asked as he walked over.

Hearing his voice, Bai Hanyun looked up—only to see Gui Ying smiling at her, with a big golden cocoon floating behind him.

"..." What is that?

After a brief moment of silence, Bai Hanyun pointed at the golden cocoon and asked, "Gui Ying, what’s with that giant golden cocoon?"

"Oh, this is my cousin, Gui Xiaoxu," Gui Ying replied casually. He waved his hand, took out a lounge chair from his spatial ring, placed it beside the small table, and sat down.

Listening to his nonchalant answer, as if they were discussing the weather, Bai Hanyun became speechless once again.

"..." Is he for real?

Noticing her silence and the way she kept staring at the golden cocoon, Gui Ying raised an eyebrow slightly. "What? You don’t believe this young master?"

Bai Hanyun looked away from the golden cocoon and asked with a fake smile, "Do you think I can believe you?"

Rubbing his chin, Gui Ying pondered for a moment before nodding in realization. "Fairy Bai is right. For ordinary people, this kind of thing is indeed unbelievable."

After a brief pause, he added, "Since Fairy Bai doesn’t believe this young master, then you can wait until he finishes forming his golden core."

Looking at his confident expression, Bai Hanyun’s interest was piqued. "Is this really CEO Gui?" she asked with a hint of curiosity and doubt in her voice.

Rolling his eyes at her, Gui Ying retorted, "Why would this young master lie to you without reason? Do you think such a trivial matter is worth this young master’s effort to fabricate?"

Bai Hanyun fell silent for a moment before replying, "Well... then let’s wait and see."

When she turned her attention back to the laptop, Gui Ying leaned closer and asked curiously, "Fairy Bai, what are you watching?"

Bai Hanyun glanced at him and replied, "A new drama series about immortal cultivation."

Hearing this, Gui Ying’s interest was immediately sparked. He pulled his lounge chair closer and said, "Fairy Bai, let’s watch together."

Seeing his enthusiasm, Bai Hanyun dragged the small table between them, placed the laptop on it, turned on the speakers, and restarted the drama from the beginning.

While the two of them were engrossed in the drama while cracking sunflower seeds, Gui Xiaoxu heard everything from inside the golden cocoon.

As he endured the pain, envy inevitably crept into his heart. ’I wonder when this pain will end... How nice it must be to watch dramas while snacking.’

While he was fighting for his life, the cracking sounds of sunflower seeds echoed around him, mixed with the voices from the drama.

By the time the sky slowly changed color, Bai Hanyun and Gui Ying had already finished three episodes.

Stretching her stiff body, Bai Hanyun glanced at the golden cocoon and asked, "Gui Ying, how much longer before CEO Gui comes out of this giant cocoon?"

Gui Ying followed her gaze and looked at the golden cocoon. Sensing the fluctuation of spiritual energy inside, he cracked another sunflower seed and replied calmly, "Soon."

As his words fell, inside the cocoon, Gui Xiaoxu felt the scorching heat and bone-crushing pain gradually fade, replaced by a warm current of energy circulating through his body. Wherever it flowed, the pain diminished bit by bit.

Feeling better as seconds passed, Gui Xiaoxu finally found the strength to move again. This time, it took only a few seconds before his fingers twitched.

’Success!’ he shouted excitedly in his heart.

As the pain continued to subside, the warm energy grew stronger. By the time the last rays of sunlight vanished beyond the western horizon, the pain had completely disappeared.

Just as relief filled Gui Xiaoxu’s heart, a violent surge of energy suddenly wrecked his meridian, as if trying to burst out of his dantian.

"Ugh!" What’s happening?! Why does it hurt even more than before?!

While he was confused and groaning in pain, Gui Ying, still lounging lazily, put the remaining sunflower seeds back into the bowl and said with faint excitement, "Oh, he finally succeeded."

Hearing this, Bai Hanyun turned to look at him.

However, before she could ask anything, Gui Ying waved his hand. The next second, a golden barrier formed, enveloping the cocoon.

Two seconds later, the golden cocoon exploded.

Boom!

Although Gui Ying’s barrier prevented the spiritual energy from destroying the mansion, the explosion still shook the ground, triggering panic throughout Xiqiang City and its surroundings.

"The Earth Dragon is turning! The Earth Dragon is turning!" a servant shouted while running out of the mansion.

"Ah! Run!" a maidservant shouted as she ran out, then tripped and fell to the ground. Ignoring the pain, she pushed herself up and ran as fast as she could.

"Hurry! Get out of here!" a soldier shouted while directing the servants and maidservants out of the mansion.
