An Unexpected Turn: Villain Becomes Dad

Chapter 122

Long Tianyu’s voice was full of confidence. With the blood of a true dragon coursing through his veins, he had every right to be confident. The Central Continent was his stage. But as he finished speaking, a Feng family elder hurried over, his expression filled with fury.

“Xuan’er!” The elder’s voice trembled with emotion as he saw his son, covered in blood and possibly dead. The sight ignited a fire of rage within him.

“Long Tianyu, how dare you! As a Feng family son-in-law, you dare attack core disciples!” The elder’s voice was laced with anger, his eyes burning with indignation. “No matter what sorcery you used, I will punish you today!”

The Feng family elder was a formidable Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. When he struck at Long Tianyu, the difference in power was immediately apparent. A Nascent Soul strike was incomparable to an early Golden Core strike. Even with the Dragon Blood Jade’s power, Long Tianyu couldn’t withstand the attack. The crimson dragon shadow he conjured was shattered, and the force of the elder’s handprint forced him to his knees. One more move, and he would be killed.

“Elder Yujie, please show mercy!” Feng Qian Ning’s voice rang out as she tried to intervene, her face filled with concern.

But the elder, seeing his son in such a state, was beyond reason, his sorrow deep and consuming. “Miss Qian Ning, my son is my only child. Is the son of a Feng family Nascent Soul elder less important than a son-in-law?” His words stoked the flames of righteous indignation among the surrounding Feng family disciples and elders.

“That’s right! Feng Xuan is a core disciple of the Feng family! Long Tianyu is just a son-in-law. How can he be more important?”

“Just for a few insults, he struck so ruthlessly!”

“Today is the day the matriarch takes over as the city lord. Long Tianyu is clearly causing trouble!”

“He must be severely punished!”

The growing outcry among the disciples and elders made Feng Qian Ning frown. The situation was delicate. As the young lord of the Feng family, if she protected Long Tianyu now, it would cause dissatisfaction among the family elders and disciples. But if she didn’t, the elders would surely kill him.

“Long Tianyu, you deliberately injured Feng family core disciples. Considering you’re the son-in-law, I’ll spare your life but abolish your cultivation!” The elder’s eyes were fierce, his anger blinding him to reason. The thought of his son being beaten by a son-in-law filled him with fury. He raised his hand, ready to abolish Long Tianyu’s cultivation.

“You bastard, you dare!?” Long Tianyu panicked, the realization of the elder’s intentions hitting him like a wave of cold water. He hadn’t expected the old man to want to cripple his cultivation. He had waited twenty years to cultivate again. If he lost his cultivation now, it would all be over.

“Qian Ning, stop this madman!” Long Tianyu’s voice was desperate, his eyes filled with fear and pleading.

Feng Qian Ning looked at him with helplessness and disappointment. “Elder Yujie …” she began, but the elder interrupted her with a determined look.

“Miss Qian Ning, I must avenge my son today!” His hand descended, about to cripple Long Tianyu’s cultivation.

At that moment, a blue light appeared, blocking the qi handprint. Yang Chen and Feng Yuwan descended from the sky, walking side by side.

“Elder, please show mercy!” Feng Yuwan’s voice was commanding yet calm as she stepped forward. “Tianyu is my son-in-law!”

Yang Chen walked through the air, a faint smile playing on his lips as he approached slowly. The breeze gently ruffled his clothes, adding to his elegant and refined aura, making him appear like an immortal descended to the mortal world.

Next to him stood Feng Yuwan, whose voluptuous and graceful figure and peerless beauty were overshadowed by Yang Chen’s brilliance. The female elders and disciples of the Feng family all looked at him with adoration, their eyes shimmering. This Holy Son not only possessed immense strength but also an extraordinary and refined temperament. This sight would be unforgettable for them, something they would seek in their dreams for the rest of their lives.

“Your Highness!” Feng Qian Ning’s gaze followed Yang Chen as he walked over, her red lips parting softly. Only a few steps away from him, the scene mirrored the banquet a month ago when she first met the Holy Son. They had shared drinks and enjoyable conversations then, but now, he was about to marry her mother, making him her elder. Her eyes were filled with desolation, mixed with some resentment and regret.

Yang Chen descended from the air, stopping right in front of Long Tianyu, who was pressed to the ground by the force of true qi, looking like a toad on all fours. When he looked up, he met Yang Chen’s condescending and playful gaze. His mother-in-law, whom he cherished, stood next to Yang Chen, her soft jade-like hand holding his arm, a blush still lingering on her face. Her gaze towards him was filled with disdain and annoyance, tinged with a lofty and icy arrogance. This usual arrogance now only stirred up a wave of anger and humiliation in him.

Damn it! Feng Yuwan, you bitch! Yang Chen, I swear I’ll kill you! Long Tianyu’s mind raged with fury, but he was powerless to do anything.

[Ding! The host has looked down on Long Tianyu, who is pressed to the ground, damaging Long Tianyu’s state of mind! Plundering 500 points of Providence Luck from the Son of Destiny, Long Tianyu. The host has gained 500 VPs!]

[Ding! Feng Yuwan has held the host’s arm and has looked at Long Tianyu indifferently, causing Long Tianyu to harbor resentment! Plundering 1000 points of Providence Luck from Son of Destiny, Long Tianyu. The host has gained 1000 VPs!]

Yang Chen’s lips curved slightly. He hadn’t even taken action, yet he had already gained 1500 villain points. He chuckled inwardly, thinking, Long Tianyu’s mindset is too fragile.

“Greetings, Your Highness!” Several Feng family elders quickly came to their senses and bowed in greeting.

At this moment, Feng Yuwan’s expression turned cold and stern. What kind of occasion was this? She had just received the Ice Phoenix Seal and taken over as the city lord, and the family members were already causing trouble. This was making a spectacle for the Lan and Bai family cultivators. Just as she gained the city lord position, it looked like this. How could she lead Ice and Snow City in the future?

“Feng Yujie, what are you trying to do? Do you know what occasion this is?” Feng Yuwan’s voice was cold, and her Soul Transformation Realm pressure swept over the area, causing a heavy weight to descend on the Feng family members.

Feng Yujie felt the pressure and quickly explained, “Matriarch, this son-in-law Long Tianyu used some means to severely injure several core disciples of our Feng family! According to our family rules, if a son-in-law deliberately harms core disciples, the lightest punishment is to abolish his cultivation, and the heaviest is death! I was just following the rules to abolish his cultivation as a warning!”

“Long Tianyu severely injured several core disciples?” Feng Yuwan’s expression showed a hint of surprise. She glanced at the unconscious young disciples beside her, her beautiful eyes filled with doubt. This waste had been acting very strangely lately. First, he defeated Feng Yunhai, an early Golden Core cultivator, at the banquet, and now he had severely injured several core disciples. And his cultivation was only at the Fourth stage of the Qi Refining Realm.

Yang Chen spoke up, his tone smooth and persuasive. “Elder Yujie, the rules are dead, but people are alive! Tianyu is, after all, Qian Ning’s husband! Now that this Holy Son is marrying the Feng City Lord, Tianyu is also my son-in-law! A son-in-law is like half a son, and a father-in-law is like half a father! So, I am like half of Tianyu’s father too! Isn’t that right?”

“Yes, yes, what the Holy Son says is absolutely correct!”
