At that time, the people of the southern boundaries all prioritized Gu techniques. Only by refining the Gu King would they have a chance to defeat the people from the other villages. However, let alone the Gu King, they could not even refine a stronger Gu.
After all, this Gu refinement technique was not innate, it was passed down from generation to generation. No one in their village knew how to refine a Gu King.
Although the reality was cruel, Duo Benli didn’t give up. The turning point happened when he was 25 years old.
That year, a girl suddenly came to the village. This girl called Su Yin was beautiful and generous, and most importantly, she was very good at refining Gu worms. No one knew where she came from, but everyone knew that she had the Golden Gu King.
The Golden Gu King could almost be said to be a god-like existence respected by the Gu worms. Since Su Yin had the Golden Gu King, she could be considered invincible in the entire southern boundaries.
The moment Duo Benli saw Su Yin, he fell in love with her. It was not only because of her beauty, but also because of her lively, cheerful, strong, and independent personality. Of course, the most important thing was that her powerful strength made him even more tempted.
Duo Benli was handsome and could be considered the most handsome man in the entire southern boundaries. Under his vigorous pursuit, Su Yin quickly agreed to marry him.
The stupendous wedding of a handsome man and a beautiful woman was a great event in the southern boundaries at that time. The tribe leaders of other villages all came to congratulate him. Of course, there were some who were unconvinced. After all, there were many people who liked Su Yin. However, due to Su Yin’s strength, no one dared to cause trouble.
After the marriage, Su Yin started to focus on assisting Duo Benli and taking steps in the direction of unifying the southern boundaries.
In order to increase the strength of the village, Su Yin did not hide anything.
She dedicated everything she had learned in her life to the people in the village. Soon, the Gu refinement skills of the people in the village became more and more amazing.
Later, under the leadership of Duo Benli and Su Yin, the village annexed many other villages and became stronger.
In just a short dozen years, Duo Benli had ruled over almost half of the southern boundaries.
If this continued, it would be just a matter of time before the entire southern boundaries were unified. Unfortunately, no matter how beautiful the oath was, it could not survive the passing of time. After having a taste of power, Duo Benli started swelling with pride.
No matter how beautiful Su Yin’s face was, after more than ten years, he grew sick of the sight of it. In addition, over the years, in order to help Duo Benli, Su Yin had been feeding the Golden Gu King with her own blood, which accelerated her aging. Moreover, because of the excessive blood loss, her body also suffered serious damage, and she was unable to give birth.
At this moment, a person appeared. She was a delicate and pitiful girl called Lian Yi.
Unlike Su Yin who was powerful, Lian Yi looked like a weak girl. If Su Yin was a towering tree standing alone between heaven and earth, then Lian Yi was just a Cuscuta chinensis that latched onto a tree. She was vulnerable and beautiful, making people want to protect her.
Naturally, Duo Benli was also attracted by this woman. At this moment, he had long forgotten the oath of eternal love and the help that Su Yin had given him over the years. He was eager to take Lian Yi as his concubine.
That was right. Although he liked Lian Yi, he knew that he couldn’t let Lian Yi be his wife. Firstly, Lian Yi’s weakness meant that she could only rely on him, but she couldn’t bear the burden of being the mistress. Secondly, Su Yin did not do anything wrong after all, so he could not divorce his wife so easily.
Duo Benli had planned it very well and also believed that the generous Su Yin would definitely agree. However, he didn’t expect that when he said he wanted to take a concubine, Su Yin would reject him. She even said that if that was the case, she would divorce and leave.
Although he was unwilling to admit it, he knew very well that Su Yin had played a huge role in making the village strong and unifying the southern boundaries. It could even be said that if he lost Su Yin and the Golden Gu King, everything he had worked so hard for over the years might immediately disappear.
After that, Duo Benli no longer mentioned taking a concubine, but he didn’t stop his secret relationship with Lian Yi..
