Chapter 237: Marital Relations

Returning to reality, Yang Fan put his virtual helmet back on.

Gu Family Grounds.

"Greetings, Father." Yang Fan bowed respectfully.

Third Elder Gu Xuanting looked at Yang Fan, his eyes filled with satisfaction.

"To have grown to this extent in such a short time."

"It is truly gratifying."

Yang Fan said earnestly, "It is all thanks to Father's cultivation."

"Without the Gu Family's investment, even if you gave me another ten years, I might not have reached where I am today."

This was not false modesty.

For the development of a Divine Kingdom, talent is important, but resources are even more so.

If not for the backing of the Gu Family, possessing wealth at the Demi-god stage that even mid-tier gods would envy…

His Divine Kingdom could not possibly have grown so excessively.

Sometimes, Yang Fan has to admit.

Without talent, he could not have stepped out of his original family.

Without being a kept man, he could not have progressed so quickly.

Talent is responsible for letting him see the mountaintop, while being a kept man is responsible for taking the elevator directly there.

Third Elder Gu Xuanting couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this, "You are certainly honest."

After speaking, Third Elder Gu Xuanting stood up, patted Yang Fan on the shoulder, and signaled for him to sit.

After Yang Fan sat down, Third Elder Gu Xuanting's expression gradually became serious.

"Although you were only ranked ninety-ninth on the Taichu Battlefield."

"But you are only a sophomore, after all; it is inevitable that you will be targeted by the Alien Demi-gods."

Hearing this, Yang Fan's expression also became grave.

He recalled the words Sima Bang had once spoken.

There had been an Alien God who forcibly broke the rules to attack a Human Race peerless prodigy, and they had succeeded.

Yang Fan was confident that he had nothing to fear when facing Demi-gods.

But if a true god were to attack…

He was not sure if he could withstand it as he was now.

"Will powerful Alien Gods attack me?" Yang Fan asked, frowning.

The safety of the Divine Kingdom was always Yang Fan's top priority.

"Rest assured, it is highly unlikely."

Third Elder Gu Xuanting waved his hand.

"The cost of breaking the Divine Kingdom rules to attack is too high—so high that no race would easily choose to do so."

"Your talent is indeed good, but according to my estimates, you would be at most in the top five of the Primordial Academy."

"If you count the Xingqiong Academy and the entire younger generation of the Human Race, your priority might not even make the top ten."

"Even if a god were to attack, it is highly unlikely it would be your turn."

Hearing this, Yang Fan felt much more relaxed.

As long as gods do not attack, he really has nothing to fear.

"However, one cannot be careless."

Third Elder Gu Xuanting's expression became a bit more serious.

"The probability of a god attacking is low, but if your coordinates are exposed, it is highly possible for powerful Alien Demi-gods to invade your Divine Kingdom."

"Your talent is great, but the time your Divine Kingdom has developed is ultimately too short."

"Some Demi-gods have even lived for thousands of years."

"For the sake of their race's interests, they might even share your coordinates and join forces to hunt you down."

"One cannot afford not to be prepared."

"What does Father mean?" Yang Fan asked.

"Break through to become a god as soon as possible."

Third Elder Gu Xuanting spoke slowly.

"The federation highest intelligent life protects your information well, but there are always oversights."

"It is highly likely that aliens will consume a large number of Divine Kingdom Deduction Cards to find your coordinates."

"You had better break through to become a god before your junior year."

"When the time comes, head to the front lines and form an offensive and defensive alliance with the Gu Family's gods to fight together."

"By then, it won't be so easy for those aliens to target you."

After hearing this, Yang Fan actually felt much more relaxed.

If Alien Demi-gods attack?

He is not afraid at all.

One year in reality is worth a hundred years for others.

Furthermore, what kind of Cultivate environment does his Divine Kingdom have now?

As for breaking through to become a god by his junior year…

Third Elder Gu Xuanting really underestimated him.

If not for continuing to fleece the Primordial Academy.

Perhaps by now, he would already be a First-Order God.

"Thank you for your guidance, Father. I understand." Yang Fan stood up and said earnestly.

Third Elder Gu Xuanting nodded with satisfaction.

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he changed the subject.

"Right."

"That girl of mine, every time she meets me now, she can't go three sentences without mentioning you."

"How did I not notice before that she was a romantic fool?"

Third Elder Gu Xuanting rubbed his chin.

"You kid… do you have any experience to share?"

Hearing this, Yang Fan felt a chill down his spine and hurriedly sat up straight.

"Father, I am just treating Le'er well; she might just be… protective of me."

"Enough."

Third Elder Gu Xuanting waved his hand.

"What are you nervous about?"

"As long as you don't hurt her and make her happy, I couldn't care less about who is on top or bottom among you young people."

Speaking of this, Third Elder Gu Xuanting suddenly sighed.

"I am sincerely asking for advice: how does one handle marital relations?"

Yang Fan was stunned.

For a moment, he even felt like his image of the man was collapsing.

The person before him is a High-tier God, a truly big figure in the Gu Family.

Now he is actually asking for advice on how to get along as a married couple?

Third Elder Gu Xuanting seemed a bit embarrassed and coughed lightly.

"You don't understand."

"The lifespan of gods is too long; having lived so long, the number of arguments is also high."

"When young, I would send flowers and resources."

"Now, when I send resources, she says I'm being perfunctory."

"When I give gifts, she says it's a waste."

"The year before last, I went to the front lines, and she actually asked if I had died out there."

Third Elder Gu Xuanting spoke with growing frustration.

"I am good at managing a Divine Kingdom, and the Divine Kingdom War is not difficult."

"But your mother-in-law… is harder to deal with than an Alien God."

Yang Fan: "…"

After a moment of silence, looking at Third Elder Gu Xuanting's serious expression.

Yang Fan decided to bring out the knowledge he had learned from Liu Ruyan.

"Father, actually, getting along as a married couple is simple."

"First, provide more emotional value."

"Second, argue less about logic."

"Third, spend more time together."

"Fourth, never try to prove that you are right."

Third Elder Gu Xuanting frowned, "Explain in detail?"

Yang Fan explained earnestly:

"For example, if Mother-in-law says she is tired, do not say 'Just rest for a while and you'll be fine'."

"You should say—'You've worked hard'."

"If Mother-in-law says she misses you."

"Do not reply 'I miss you too'."

"You should say—'I was just thinking about you too'."

"Also, regardless of who is right or wrong."

"You must admit you are wrong first."

Third Elder Gu Xuanting's brows furrowed deeper, "But what if it really isn't my fault?"

Yang Fan was silent for two seconds.

"Father."

"In a marital relationship, right and wrong are not important."

Third Elder Gu Xuanting: "…"

At this moment, this High-tier God suddenly fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he nodded slowly.

"It makes sense; no wonder my daughter is so infatuated with you."

"You son of a bitch, you really are a Genius. How did you learn this at such a young age?"

Yang Fan: "…"

He did not know how to answer; he certainly couldn't tell the other party that Tianxiang Renjian has free teachers for ten thousand Faith Points!

Third Elder Gu Xuanting looked at Yang Fan with a faint smile, his eyes carrying a hint of playfulness.

Yang Fan immediately shivered.

Only at this moment did he realize.

His father-in-law was not asking for advice on marital relations at all; he was clearly using the conversation to keep him in check.

"Enough."

Third Elder Gu Xuanting waved his hand.

"Your talent is great, and your future is bright."

"But from now on, you must not let my daughter suffer any grievances, understand?"

Yang Fan's expression became serious, "Understood."
