An Unexpected Turn: Villain Becomes Dad

Chapter 106

Yang Chen scanned the grand hall. He soon noticed a pair of eyes filled with resentment and anger, staring intensely at him. At the entrance of the hall stood a young man in black clothes. His appearance was not handsome, but his features were sharp and defined.

This must be Long Tianyu, the protagonist!

Noticing Yang Chen’s gaze, Long Tianyu did not show any signs of weakness or avoidance. His eyes even revealed a trace of warning and killing intent.

Yang Chen was slightly taken aback.

This guy really is the protagonist. Even without any cultivation, he dares to warn me. Heh. However, the True Dragon Body! From the Red Dragon Clan of the Central Continent in the Northern Spiritual Realm! This fits the template of the “son-in-law” genre quite well! No cultivation, seemingly a useless waste! But in reality, he is exceptionally gifted and has a remarkable background!

Now that he, the antagonist, made an appearance, Long Tianyu would soon reveal his true identity! According to traditional plots, Long Tianyu would reveal his true identity, strike against the antagonist, resolve the crisis for the heroine and her family, and then win the heroine’s heart!

But this son-in-law is different from the previous ones. In novels, those son-in-laws have no connection with the mother-in-law! But now, Feng Yuwan is a voluptuous and charming beauty! In terms of beauty, she even surpasses her daughter, Feng Qian Ning, a little!

I wonder if this is prepared for me, the great antagonist! Heh heh!

Yang Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a playful expression. Being the antagonist was quite enjoyable. Drinking with the male protagonist’s wife. Being flattered by the male protagonist’s mother-in-law and wife. Meanwhile, the protagonist could only watch in frustration.

At this moment, Feng Qian Ning beside him spoke, “Holy Son, I heard that you recently acquired the Green Lotus Heavenly Flame, ranked 62* on the Primordial Fire list?”

[Note: *previously the author mentioned that the Green Lotus Heavenly Flame as ranked 58^th on the list, and the Earth Core Red Fire the one Empress Yan wanted to offer to Lin Yan to be 62^nd on the list.]

Yang Chen nodded. “That’s right! I didn’t expect Miss Qian Ning to have heard about it too! Heh, it was indeed a stroke of luck. Is Miss Qian Ning also interested in the Primordial Fires?”

Feng Qian Ning lightly nodded. “The Primordial Fires are indeed rare treasures!”

“There are a total of 108 types of Primordial Fires in the world. However, in our Northern Spiritual Realm, over the past few thousand years, only the Green Lotus Heavenly Flame obtained by the Holy Son has appeared!”

“If Miss Qian Ning is interested, I will show it to you!”

Yang Chen said as he extended his hand, spreading his fingers. A green lotus flower bloomed. A faint green light swirled around the green lotus, shimmering with brilliance. As Yang Chen’s cultivation level increased, the illusion of the green lotus also deepened. At this moment, the illusion was almost substantial, resembling a green lotus carved from jade.

“It’s such a beautiful lotus! This is the Green Lotus Heavenly Flame? Why can’t I feel much heat?” Feng Qian Ning asked with confusion.

“The Primordial Fires are indeed fiery, but I have concealed the heat! Miss Qian Ning is a cultivator of the ice attribute, and the heat from the Primordial Fires might have some adverse effects on you!”

“I see! Thank you, Holy Son!” Feng Qian Ning’s face showed a hint of a smile. She felt that although this Holy Son had a noble status, he was quite amiable and considerate of others. So, she couldn’t help but glance at Yang Chen’s handsome face a few more times. However, when her gaze met Yang Chen’s eyes. Instantly, Feng Qian Ning’s eyes darted away.

A blush appeared on her fair face.

Heh, getting embarrassed already? Yang Chen’s eyes were full of amusement. It seemed that his considerate (and hypocritical) performance had not been in vain.

“Miss Qian Ning, you should have awakened the Ice Phoenix Bloodline, right?” Yang Chen put away the green lotus and asked.

“Yes, I have!” Feng Qian Ning nodded.

Although her family had not publicly acknowledged her awakening of the Ice Phoenix Bloodline, many people were already aware of it. There was no need to hide it in front of the Holy Son.

“Once the Ice Phoenix Bloodline is awakened, it is almost certain that you will step into the Soul Transformation realm in the future! I’d like to congratulate Miss Qian Ning in advance!” Yang Chen smiled.

Upon hearing Yang Chen’s praise, Feng Qian Ning’s heart suddenly became a bit flustered. She naturally knew the purpose of her mother sending her here. With the old city lord passing away, the three major families were all vying for the position of city lord.

Among the three families, the Bai and Lan families had formed several marriage alliances over the past few hundred years, showing a trend of such alliances. Moreover, the Lan family was the strongest among the three major families. The previous city lord was also from the Lan family, leaving behind a rich foundation.

To compete with the Lan family, the Feng family had to rely on the support of the Xuantian Sect, a colossal force. Fortunately, her mother was an old friend of the Xuantian Sect’s leader. This time, the Xuantian Sect stood by the Feng family’s side and even sent the Holy Son of Xuantian Sect to support them.

However, as her mother and several elders had said, the Feng family had to show the corresponding sincerity. That meant a marriage alliance. Although there were many beautiful female cultivators in the Feng family, among the younger generation, only she had awakened the Ice Phoenix Bloodline. This time, she was sent here to facilitate a match between her and the Holy Son of the Xuantian Sect.

Initially, she had shown some resistance in her heart because she was quite averse to such a marriage alliance. Moreover, she was now considered a married woman. Although Tianyu couldn’t cultivate, they had held a wedding ceremony and were formally husband and wife. But now, looking at the polite and extremely handsome Holy Son of the Xuantian Sect, she suddenly found that her resistance had diminished a lot, even to the point of almost disappearing.

Feng Qian Ning couldn’t help but feel a tinge of guilt in her heart.

At this moment, Long Tianyu, who had been glaring at Feng Yuwan and Feng Qian Ning, gradually darkened his expression. His fists were clenched, and veins were faintly visible on his forehead.

He saw that his wife, Feng Qian Ning, not only was chatting happily with that so-called Holy Son of Xuantian Sect but also had a hint of shyness on her face. As a man, Long Tianyu understood what that meant. When a woman her shy demeanor to a man, it indicated she had developed feelings for him.

“Damn it!” Long Tianyu gritted his teeth. After being married for more than ten years, Qian Ning had never shown him such an expression to him. Yet, after spending less than half an hour with that so-called Holy Son, she began to blush!

Unable to contain his anger any longer, Long Tianyu directly walked towards Feng Qian Ning. “Qian Ning!”

Feng Qian Ning, who had been chatting with Yang Chen, was suddenly startled and turned her head to look behind her.

“Tianyu! What … What are you doing here?”
