An Unexpected Turn: Villain Becomes Dad

Chapter 123

Feng Yujie quickly nodded in agreement and hastily withdrew the true qi handprint. He felt a bit regretful. This Holy Son didn’t seem to understand the situation with the Feng family’s son-in-law and truly regarded him as his son-in-law. Long Tianyu was indeed lucky today.

Hearing Yang Chen’s serious tone, Feng Yuwan couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him. This rascal was really good at taking advantage. Claiming such a grown son so shamelessly. Truly thick-skinned.

“Tianyu, here is a healing pill, a token of my goodwill as your father. Take it quickly!”

Yang Chen extended a pill to Long Tianyu, his face full of benevolent concern. However, the word “father” made Long Tianyu’s face turn green. Remembering Elder Zhang, who was killed by this scoundrel, and his cherished mother-in-law, who was forced to marry him, and now calling himself his father, Long Tianyu was filled with rage.

“Yang Chen, stop taking advantage of me! I swear I’ll kill you one day!” Long Tianyu shouted angrily, glaring at Yang Chen with bloodshot eyes.

“Impudent!”

Feng Yuwan’s cold voice rang out. She raised her hand, delivering a slap across the air, striking Long Tianyu’s face. Though she didn’t use much force, the slap sent Long Tianyu flying, blood spilling from his mouth, teeth scattering.

“A son-in-law, less than a dog, dares to speak disrespectfully! Truly insolent!”

Feng Yuwan snorted coldly. Though she felt Yang Chen deserved the scolding, as the Feng family matriarch, she had to take a stand. Besides, she had long been annoyed with this son-in-law. If not for the fact that he was still a Feng family son-in-law, that slap would have ended his life.

“Ah! Feng Yuwan, you bitch! One day I’ll crush you beneath me and make you know my power!”

Long Tianyu, lying on the ground, felt the burning pain on his face and an overwhelming sense of humiliation. Rage boiled inside him. Being slapped by his mother-in-law wasn’t new, but this time, it was different. He looked up and saw Yang Chen’s mocking eyes and Feng Yuwan’s icy, high-and-mighty expression. Fury surged, and he couldn’t hold it back. He spat out a mouthful of blood and passed out.

[Ding! Feng Yuwan slapped Long Tianyu, causing his mental state to collapse and faint, plundering 2000 points of Providence Luck from the Son of Destiny, Long Tianyu. The host has been awarded with 2000 VPs!]

Yang Chen’s lips curved into a smile. Tianyu, it seems your mother-in-law’s slap dealt quite a significant blow to you.

***

A month passed quickly.

The deaths of Lan Qingshan and Bai Zhou, both Soul Transformation Realm cultivators, caused a great sensation throughout the Northern Spiritual Realm. These two had been famous for over a thousand years, known as veteran cultivators of the highest level, and their notoriety was unmatched.

Many top powers were initially interested in the treasure of the Falling Snow Mountain Range. However, upon hearing about the marriage between the Xuantian Holy Son and Feng Family Patriarch Feng Yuwan, they abandoned their plans. After all, if the Xuantian Holy Son could kill Lan Qingshan and Bai Zhou, he could easily kill them too, especially with the mighty Xuantian Sect backing him.

“Your Highness, how is my massage? Do you feel comfortable?” Yang Chen lay on a jade chair while Xu Qingxuan breathed softly behind him. Her jade-like fingers kneaded his shoulders back and forth, more like stroking than kneading. She continuously operated the Dual Cultivation Technique of the Dragon and Phoenix, although her true qi was of little use to Yang Chen now. The tingling sensation from physical contact was unavoidable, leaving Yang Chen helpless.

He had left the Xuantian Sect some time ago and was feeling restless. At this moment, a soft voice came from outside the door: “Your Highness, Qian Ning requests to see you!”

“Qian Ning?” Yang Chen was stunned. Then he said, “Come in!”

The door opened, and Feng Qian Ning’s tall figure slowly walked in. She wore a snow-white gauze dress with a snow cloak draped over her shoulders, her black hair flowing down her back, exuding coolness. She bowed to Yang Chen: “Qian Ning greets Your Highness!”

“Qian Ning, there’s no need for formalities! We’re all family now!” Yang Chen smiled slightly. A blush immediately appeared on Feng Qian Ning’s fair cheeks. She naturally understood the meaning of being family. She glanced at Xu Qingxuan behind Yang Chen, her eyes full of envy. Being the maid of the Holy Son was indeed fortunate, but she didn’t have this chance.

“Qian Ning, you came to find me for a reason, right?” Yang Chen asked.

“Your Highness, my mother said there’s an important matter to discuss and has asked you to come over. She is waiting for you at the City Lord’s Mansion,” Feng Qian Ning said softly.

“I see!” Yang Chen stood up.

He said to Xu Qingxuan, “Qingxuan, Qian Ning has also awakened the Ice Phoenix bloodline and reached the Golden Core Realm. You can learn from her!”

“I understand!” Xu Qingxuan’s beautiful eyes were full of resentment. She had finally got a chance to be alone with the Holy Son, to absorb some dragon qi, but it was ruined again.

In the City Lord’s Mansion, Feng Yuwan wore a moon-white palace dress adorned with blue phoenix embroidery, wrapping her voluptuous and graceful figure. Her black hair was styled into a bun, revealing her snow-white neck. In her white jade hand, she held a blue seal, a shadow of an ice phoenix circling around her, making her extraordinarily beautiful. After becoming the city lord, Feng Yuwan’s noble and elegant demeanor became even more pronounced.

Noticing Yang Chen’s gaze lingering on her, Feng Yuwan’s cheeks felt slightly hot, but she didn’t say anything. She had gotten used to it over time. This guy had embraced her several times already, so she didn’t mind it anymore.

“Yang Chen, I have decided to enter the Ice Phoenix Secret Realm! During this period, I will trouble you to guard Ice Snow Ancient City!” Feng Yuwan said softly. But Yang Chen shook his head. “Senior Feng, I’m afraid that won’t do!”

“Won’t do?” Feng Yuwan’s delicate eyebrows furrowed. “Are you worried that I will break my promise after advancing my realm? Rest assured, I will keep my word! When I come out of the Ice Phoenix Secret Realm, our marriage will still stand!” Feng Yuwan said, her fair cheeks a bit unnatural.

During this month, the news of the marriage between the city lord of Ice Snow Ancient City and the Xuantian Holy Son had spread throughout the entire Northern Spiritual Realm. She had heard all sorts of comments, most saying she was an old cow eating young grass. Just thinking about it made her angry. Did she want this? She was completely forced!

Hearing this, Yang Chen’s eyes showed a trace of helplessness. Did this woman really think of him as a lustful ghost? Having been busy in Ice Snow Ancient City for so long, Yang Chen’s goal was not just to marry this beautiful widow, Feng Yuwan. His goal was the Ice Phoenix Secret Realm. According to the original plot, Long Tianyu, the son of fate, would definitely enter the Ice Phoenix Secret Realm. There must be a great opportunity hidden within it for Long Tianyu. As the villain, how could he not take it?
