Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 159 - 156: The Dragon King Has Really Arrived!
"Nuoyi, come back with me. I can pretend everything that happened before never did."
Chen Yifeng stood with his hands behind his back, his voice piercing clearly through the rain.
His words cut through Mai Bahe’s soundproof system, reaching the ears of the two in the cockpit.
Chen Nuoyi had to pull herself away from communicating with the bloodline, looking at the elder in front of her with complex emotions.
The top of Mai Bahe’s boat automatically opened, and the grandfather and granddaughter faced each other.
"Grandpa, do you really want to seal my path to cultivation?"
"Are you doing this for my own good, or for better control over the family, preventing me from taking power from you?"
The young girl responded in a deep voice.
Hearing this question, Chen Yifeng did not answer immediately; he pondered briefly before replying slowly:
"Earlier, I wanted to arrange a marriage between you and Li Zhengxing from the Li Family for two reasons."
"Firstly, I wanted to use the Li Family’s Star Shifting Secret Technique to remove the unstable factors in your bloodline and prolong your life."
"Secondly, indeed, I wished for you to leave the Chen Family. I would bear the darkness of the Chen Family alone."
"Unfortunately, Li Zhengxing would rather defile himself than accept this arranged marriage, so this plan for a win-win situation between the Chen and Li families failed."
"Since that’s the case, I have no choice but to use the backup plan, which is to forcibly suppress your bloodline to extend your life."
Chen Yifeng looked at his granddaughter, who was showing signs of suspicion, paused, and continued:
"This is also an attempt I made for the continuation of the Chen Family."
"Both your mother and my wife gave birth after awakening their bloodline."
"What if we suppress the Chen Family bloodline first and then continue the descendants? Will the bloodline of the offspring become diluted?"
"If this attempt succeeds, the direct line of the Chen Family may no longer have a short lifespan and could develop further."
Chen Yifeng’s tone was calm, but the amount of information in his words was immense, causing Chen Nuoyi’s pupils to tremble.
Anger rose in the young girl’s chest as she gritted her teeth and asked:
"Grandpa, do you mean I’ll not only be suppressed by the bloodline but also be forced to marry Uncle Chen Xian?"
"This is for your own good, and for the good of the Chen Family."
Chen Yifeng casually replied, then said:
"Alright, I’ve explained enough. If you have any more questions, you can ask me after returning to the family."
"It’s almost one in the morning, and your bloodline might awaken at any moment. The sooner the secret technique to suppress your bloodline is performed, the better."
Saying this, Chen Yifeng moved for the first time, reaching out toward Chen Nuoyi.
But at that moment, Su Yuan’s voice suddenly arose:
"I can tell, you have some feelings for the class president, but not much."
"Chairman Chen, Teacher Taibai is just ahead in the mountains. For something as important as asking the class president to drop out, why not consult Teacher Taibai?"
Chen Yifeng’s gaze shifted slightly, falling on Su Yuan, and he said lightly:
"I will explain to Master Taibai afterward."
For this young man who had turned the Chen Family upside down, Chen Yifeng not only wasn’t annoyed but spoke with a tone of appreciation:
"Su Yuan, in my opinion, you are much more outstanding than Chen Xian and Li Zhengxing."
"It’s just a pity that you lack Li Zhengxing’s prominent family background and Chen Xian’s ambition to become a loyal dog; you’re truly not a suitable match for my granddaughter." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
"You have to understand that people’s destinies are different. Nuoyi is not someone who walks the same path as you and is destined to part from you."
"So I hope that after you succeed in your future career, you won’t hold grudges over what happens today."
"What I’m doing now is the best choice at the moment. I hope you understand."
Su Yuan: "..."
This Old Man, preaching right off the bat, how annoying!
But his skill wasn’t enough to outmatch this Old Man’s methods.
Darn system, I’ve reached the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer but still can’t beat Golden Core Peak. It’s embarrassing to talk about in the cheaters’ circle.
But complaints aside, Su Yuan knew very well that ever since Chen Yifeng stopped him, he had no choice but to temporarily let go.
However, it was really frustrating to let the class president be taken back by Chen Yifeng like this.
After a second’s silence, Su Yuan suddenly reached out and grabbed the young girl’s wrist in the passenger seat.
He didn’t speak, but his actions already made his position clear.
Chen Yifeng seemed to have anticipated this outcome and sighed:
"If that’s the case, then I’ll have to invite you to the Chen Family as well."
Before his words fell, a force of suction emanated from Chen Yifeng’s raised palm, causing the two inside the flying ship to fly uncontrollably toward him.
But just then, a sword light descended from the sky, cutting through the rain, slicing toward Grandpa Chen’s wrist.
Seeing this, Su Yuan, who was going to plan for the long-term after going to the Chen Family, suddenly brightened up!
Here comes the backup! Our support has arrived!
Teacher Taibai appeared at the critical moment!
Even if it seems a bit like Deus Ex Machina, does reality always need logic?
Kekeke! With Taibai Sword Demon taking action, Chen Yifeng can only sit tight, right?
Even though they were both at Golden Core Peak, how could a mere patriarch of a second-tier city family compare to an Evil Extermination Sword Sect-certified Golden Core Doctor?
If this Old Man dares to resist stubbornly, Teacher Taibai will surely beat you to your knees and humiliate you!
Then, Su Yuan saw Chen Yifeng neither dodge nor evade, using his wrist to take the sword directly.
The sword light shattered, leaving only a white mark on his wrist.
Su Yuan: "???"
Teacher Taibai, why did you falter?
Don’t mess this up!
Before Su Yuan could react, in the next second, a figure descended, standing between him and Chen Yifeng.
The person was none other than Taibai...
"Who the heck are you, uncle?"
Seeing the scruffy man with torn clothes, a rugged beard, smelling of alcohol, appearing to be two or three years older than Taibai Phecda, Su Yuan was bewildered.
Who the heck is this?
Have they ever appeared in the previous storyline?
Deus Ex Machina, don’t go too far, okay?
However, the next moment Chen Nuoyi’s exclamation completely dispelled Su Yuan’s doubts.
"Dad!"
The young girl looked at the scruffy man in astonishment.
Su Yuan suddenly understood.
So it was that flashy... cough, cough, Dragon King dad.
Seeing his daughter was about to encounter danger, he finally took action?
But... isn’t your cultivation at Golden Core Middle Stage a bit insufficient?
After sensing the significant difference in cultivation aura between Chen Nuoyi’s dad and Chen Yifeng, Su Yuan expressed doubt over this Chen Family son-in-law’s strength.
And as if sensing what Su Yuan was thinking, this Dragon King father turned around, smiled at Su Yuan, and said:
"You’re Su Yuan, right? I’ve heard Nuoyi mention you often."
"Don’t mind me drinking beer all day and doing nothing, I was once an outstanding graduate of the Evil Extermination Sword Sect. Even Taibai Phecda has to call me senior when meeting me."
Su Yuan realized.
Indeed, although this flashy dad image has been consistent ever since Su Yuan learned about the class president’s family situation.
He even used a beer can to hit his daughter.
But back when the Chen Family was selecting a son-in-law, they wouldn’t have chosen a real waste.
Regardless of his business acumen or how he lost 16.8 billion, his combat strength should be unquestionable.
Dragon King turned back, looking at Chen Yifeng, whose face showed a bit of displeasure, and raised a rusty long sword toward him.
He turned his back to Su Yuan, speaking slowly:
"Father-in-law may not be from the Evil Extermination Sword Sect, but he also originates from the Top Ten."
"With two small realm differences in cultivation, I can only hold him back for a minute, but I won’t screw up in that minute."
"Su Yuan, haven’t you already grabbed Nuoyi’s hand? Then take her forward."
"Rather than letting Nuoyi be locked in the Chen Family and become a family continuation experiment, I have more faith in your future."
