Chapter 1
31
Inside the Main Hall, all eyes turned to Long Tianyu, but their gazes were filled with mockery. A mere son-in-law dared to appear in such a place? Did he not realize where he was? This was a gathering for the core disciples of the younger generation, yet here he was, shamelessly intruding.
âYunhai, throw this trash out!â Feng Yuwan commanded in a cold, unfeeling tone, her jade-like face exuding icy arrogance. She looked at Long Tianyu as if he were nothing more than a stray dog.
Feng Yunhai, who had refined a drop of Yang Chenâs blood essence and awakened his Ice Phoenix bloodline, had advanced to the mid-stage of the Golden Core Realm. His strength had multiplied several times over. At her command, he strode over to Long Tianyu. As a loyal lackey to the villain, he had always harbored resentment toward Long Tianyu. The last time, Long Tianyu had humiliated him using some mysterious power, causing him to lose faceâa grudge he had never let go.
Seeing Long Tianyu struggling to rise, Feng Yunhai didnât hesitate. He stomped down hard on his head.
Bang!
The stomp landed with full force, with no intention of holding back, as if he didnât care if it killed him. Long Tianyuâs head slammed into the floor with a resounding impact.
âDamn you!â Long Tianyu seethed, feeling the immense humiliation of a foot pressed against his face. He roared in a hoarse voice, âFeng Yunhai, I swear Iâll kill you!â
âOh, a mere son-in-law dares to speak disrespectfully to me?â Feng Yunhaiâs eyes turned cold. Having recently aligned himself with the Holy Son, he had risen to become a leader among the younger generation of the Feng family. Even some elders now sought to curry favor with him. But now, this lowly son-in-law had the audacity to insult him, igniting a furious rage within him.
He lifted his foot again.
Bang! Bang!
He stomped twice more on Long Tianyuâs head, each blow shattering the floor beneath him. Long Tianyuâs face was a mess of blood, and even his skull showed signs of being crushed.
âAh!â Long Tianyu growled, his voice filled with desperation. âFeng Yunhai, just you wait! Iâll kill you!â
At this point, Feng Qian Ning, who had been watching silently, could no longer stand by. Despite her growing irritation with Long Tianyu in recent times, he was still her husband in name.
âCousin Yunhai, please show some mercy!â Feng Qian Ningâs voice cut through the tension.
Feng Yunhai immediately paused. He could disregard others, but not Feng Qian Ning. Although she wasnât his auntâs biological daughter, she was still her adopted daughter, making her closer to the family than he was. Moreover, there was always the possibility that the Holy Son might be interested in her. If the Holy Son wanted both women, offending Feng Qian Ning would be the last thing Feng Yunhai wanted to do.
âQian Ning, this son-in-law dared to offend our aunt. I was just teaching him a lesson on her behalf. Youâre not feeling sorry for him, are you?â Feng Yunhai said with a smile.
Feng Qian Ningâs expression turned serious. âCousin Yunhai, please stop joking around. Tianyuâs presence here is indeed inappropriate, and I will take him out immediately. Please let him go.â
Seeing Feng Qian Ningâs displeasure, Feng Yunhai reluctantly lifted his foot off Long Tianyu.
âTianyu, are you alright?â Feng Qian Ning asked as she helped him up.
Long Tianyu shot a hateful glare at Feng Yunhai. This bastard had once again humiliated him, stomping on him in front of Qian Ning, making him suffer unbearable shame.
Damn it. Just wait. It wonât be long before I kill you, and that bastard Yang Chen as well. As for that bitch Feng Yuwan, Iâll make sure to conquer her thoroughly.
[Ding! Long Tianyu was stomped by Feng Yunhai, causing his mental state to suffer. Plundering 500 points of his Providence Luck. The host has gained 500 VPs!]
The systemâs voice echoed in Yang Chenâs mind, making him pause for a moment. This was an unexpected but pleasant surprise.
Feng Yunhai, that boy, is doing well. Heâs proven to be a worthy lackey, making all my efforts in cultivating him worthwhile.
âWait!â At that moment, Feng Yuwan spoke coldly. âLong Tianyu, from today onward, your marriage to Qian Ning is annulled! You are no longer a son-in-law of the Feng family!â
Her words left both Long Tianyu and Feng Qian Ning stunned. The hall instantly buzzed with discussion. In the Feng family, hardly anyone had ever approved of Long Tianyuâs marriage to Feng Qian Ning. After all, Feng Qian Ning had awakened the Ice Phoenix bloodline and was destined to enter the Soul Transformation Realm in the future. Even if she were to marry, it should be to a core disciple of the family or perhaps become a concubine of someone as prestigious as the Holy Son.
The only reason Long Tianyu had become a son-in-law was due to the dying wish of Feng Qian Ningâs grandfather. Because of this, almost all of the younger generation in the Feng family had targeted Long Tianyu. But now, the family head had finally decided to annul their marriage. Moreover, with the family head now allied with the Holy Son, it was likely that the Holy Son wasnât interested in Qian Ning anymore. After all, he wouldnât want both women, would he?
With this, the young disciples of the Feng family were suddenly excited. If they could win over Qian Ning, they would become the sons-in-law of the Holy Son in the future, leading to boundless prospects.
âWise decision, Family Head! Long Tianyu, as a son-in-law, has been arrogant and disrespectful, even harming core disciples of the family! The marriage with Miss Qian Ning should have been annulled long ago!â An elder of the Feng family spoke up.
âIndeed, Elder Yufeng is right!â
âThis arrogant fool should have been expelled from the Feng family long ago!â
âA useless son-in-law, no better than a dogâhow could he ever be worthy of Miss Qian Ning?â Other elders quickly chimed in.
At this moment, Long Tianyuâs face turned ashen, his fists clenched tightly. If he had the power, he would have killed everyone in the hall, sparing only Feng Yuwan and Feng Qian Ning.
A bunch of bastards. They all deserve to die. Damn it.
Long Tianyu gritted his teeth, his heart seething with hatred.
