<strong><b>Chapter 1</b></strong><strong><b>31</b></strong>


    Inside the Main Hall, all eyes turned to Long Tianyu, but their gazes were filled with mockery. A mere son-inw dared to appear in such a ce? 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.


    “Yunhai, throw this trash out!” Feng Yuwanmanded 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 Chen’s 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 hermand, he strode over to Long Tianyu. As a loyalckey to the viin, he had always harbored resentment toward Long Tianyu. Thest time, Long Tianyu had humiliated him using some mysterious power, causing him to lose face—a grudge he had never let go.


    Seeing Long Tianyu struggling to rise, Feng Yunhai didn’t hesitate. He stomped down hard on his head.


    <strong><em>Bang!</em></strong>


    The stompnded with full force, with no intention of holding back, as if he didn’t care if it killed him. Long Tianyu’s head mmed into the floor with a resounding impact.


    “Damn you!” Long Tianyu seethed, feeling the immense humiliation of a foot pressed against his face. He roared in a hoarse voice, “Feng Yunhai, I swear I’ll kill you!”


    “Oh, a mere son-inw dares to speak disrespectfully to me?” Feng Yunhai’s eyes turned cold. Having recently aligned himself with the Holy Son, he had risen to be 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-inw had the audacity to insult him, igniting a furious rage within him.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    He lifted his foot again.


    <strong><em>Bang! Bang!</em></strong>


    He stomped twice more on Long Tianyu’s head, each blow shattering the floor beneath him. Long Tianyu’s face was a mess of blood, and even his skull showed signs of being crushed.


    “Ah!” Long Tianyu growled, his voice filled with desperation. “Feng Yunhai, just you wait! I’ll kill you!”


    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.


    “Cousin Yunhai, please show some mercy!” Feng Qian Ning’s voice cut through the tension.


    Feng Yunhai immediately paused. He could disregard others, but not Feng Qian Ning. Although she wasn’t his aunt’s 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 thest thing Feng Yunhai wanted to do.


    “Qian Ning, this son-inw dared to offend our aunt. I was just teaching him a lesson on her behalf. You’re not feeling sorry for him, are you?” Feng Yunhai said with a smile.


    Feng Qian Ning’s expression turned serious. “Cousin Yunhai, please stop joking around. Tianyu’s presence here is indeed inappropriate, and I will take him out immediately. Please let him go.”


    Seeing Feng Qian Ning’s displeasure, Feng Yunhai reluctantly lifted his foot off Long Tianyu.


    “Tianyu, are you alright?” Feng Qian Ning asked as she helped him up.


    Long Tianyu shot a hateful re at Feng Yunhai. This bastard had once again humiliated him, stomping on him in front of Qian Ning, making him suffer unbearable shame.


    <em>Damn it. Just wait. It won’t be long before I kill you, and that bastard Yang Chen as well. As for that bitch Feng Yuwan, I’ll make sure to conquer her thoroughly.</em>


    <strong><em>[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!]</em></strong>


    The system’s voice echoed in Yang Chen’s mind, making him pause for a moment. This was an unexpected but pleasant surprise.


    <em>Feng Yunhai, that boy, is doing well. He’s proven to be a worthyckey, making all my efforts in cultivating him worthwhile.</em>


    “Wait!” At that moment, Feng Yuwan spoke coldly. “Long Tianyu, from today onward, your marriage to Qian Ning is annulled! You are no longer a son-inw of the Feng family!”


    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 Tianyu’s 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 be a concubine of someone as prestigious as the Holy Son.


    The only reason Long Tianyu had be a son-inw was due to the dying wish of Feng Qian Ning’s 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 wasn’t interested in Qian Ning anymore. After all, he wouldn’t 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 be the sons-inw of the Holy Son in the future, leading to boundless prospects.


    “Wise decision, Family Head! Long Tianyu, as a son-inw, has been arrogant and disrespectful, even harming core disciples of the family! The marriage with Miss Qian Ning should have been annulled long ago!” An elder of the Feng family spoke up.


    “Indeed, Elder Yufeng is right!”


    “This arrogant fool should have been expelled from the Feng family long ago!”


    “A useless son-inw, no better than a dog—how could he ever be worthy of Miss Qian Ning?” Other elders quickly chimed in.


    At this moment, Long Tianyu’s 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.


    <em>A bunch of bastards. They all deserve to die. Damn it.</em>


    Long Tianyu gritted his teeth, his heart seething with hatred.
