An Unexpected Turn: Villain Becomes Dad

All the elders and core disciples of the Feng family had gathered to pay their respects upon hearing that their family head had returned from the secret realm.

Inside the Main Hall.

Feng Yuwan stood gracefully in a moon-white palace robe that perfectly accentuated her elegant and curvaceous figure. Her hair was styled into a high bun, revealing a slender, snow-white neck, and a faint blue phoenix mark adorned her forehead. An unmistakable aura of coldness and nobility emanated from her presence.

The Nascent Soul Realm cultivators of the Feng family could clearly feel the immense pressure radiating from Feng Yuwan, causing their hearts to tremble. This terrifying aura was something they had only ever sensed from the previous City Lord.

Could it be that the family head had already reached the mid-stage of the Soul Transformation Realm? But it has only been a month—how could this be possible?

“Family head, may I ask what your current realm is?” one of the elders couldn’t help but inquire.

Feng Yuwan did not conceal anything and calmly replied, “I have stepped into the Fourth Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm. From now on, we fear no one in the Northern Spiritual Realm!”

“The Fourth Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm?!”

The confirmation of Feng Yuwan’s cultivation stage left the elders stunned before joy swiftly spread across their faces. Their excitement was evident, unable to be contained.

Reaching the fourth stage signified entering the mid-stage of the Soul Transformation Realm, meaning they truly had nothing to fear in the Northern Spiritual Realm now.

The Feng family had endured suppression from the Lan and Bai families for thousands of years, but now, they could finally hold their heads high.

With the family head’s advancement, Ice and Snow City would be firmly under their control, and no one in the Northern Spiritual Realm would dare underestimate Feng family cultivators again!

“We congratulate the family head!” The group of elders bowed in unison, followed by a sea of disciples kneeling behind them.

Whether elder or disciple, everyone’s face was filled with pride and exhilaration.

Witnessing this scene, a subtle smile appeared on Feng Yuwan’s lips, and a glint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes. For years, her greatest aspiration had been to lead her family to prominence, and now, she had finally achieved it. With her current cultivation, she could dominate an entire region.

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but glance at Yang Chen, meeting his playful gaze directly.

A faint blush crept onto her cheeks as memories of their passionate moments by the lakeside made her heart race. However, she quickly composed herself, chastising internally, Feng Yuwan, this is a solemn occasion. How can you let such thoughts distract you?

Ahem!  

Feng Yuwan cleared her throat softly, suppressing her stray thoughts before continuing, “Great Elder, here are two hundred jars of Profound Ice Spiritual Water. Distribute them accordingly.”

With a graceful wave of her sleeve, two hundred jars materialized in the hall, exuding a bone-chilling cold.

She and Yang Chen had equally divided an entire lake’s worth of Profound Ice Spiritual Water, and these jars represented only a small portion of their share.

“Profound Ice Spiritual Water?!” Sensing the rapidly filling icy spiritual energy in the hall, the members of the Feng family were astounded.

For ice-attribute cultivators, especially those of Ice and Snow City who possessed the Ice Phoenix bloodline, Profound Ice Spiritual Water was immensely beneficial, capable of directly enhancing one’s cultivation.

Typically, obtaining even a small vial required exorbitant prices and immense effort, yet now, there were two hundred entire jars present. This bounty was enough to elevate the strength of every Feng family cultivator by a significant margin.

Elsewhere in the Main Hall.

Long Tianyu had accompanied Feng Qian Ning to the gathering. Although few acknowledged his presence, he couldn’t resist following upon noticing how his mother-in-law had become even more enchanting.

Since entering the hall, his gaze had been fixated on Feng Yuwan, roaming unabashedly over her graceful and alluring figure. The sight of the two hundred jars of Profound Ice Spiritual Water also widened his eyes in surprise.

Given that Profound Ice Spiritual Water formed under extremely rare and harsh conditions, even in the vast Central Continent, it was considered priceless.

Yet here, such an abundance indicated the extraordinary nature of the City Lord’s Mansion’s forbidden area.

A pang of regret surfaced in Long Tianyu’s heart for not having accessed it himself, but his attention quickly returned to Feng Yuwan, his eyes burning with desire.

Compared to the somewhat youthful Feng Qian Ning beside him, Feng Yuwan resembled a perfectly ripe peach, irresistibly tempting. Her enhanced aura of coldness and nobility only added to her allure, making Long Tianyu’s gaze even more brazen and heated.

Amidst the focus on the main proceedings, no one noticed his inappropriate stare—not even Feng Yuwan herself. However, Yang Chen had been observing Long Tianyu all along.

As a villain, he couldn’t ignore the so-called “Son of Destiny,” especially when that person was his own son-in-law. Noting Long Tianyu’s fervent gaze, a subtle smirk formed on Yang Chen’s lips. He could understand the allure; after all, Feng Yuwan had indeed become more captivating, a change attributable to him as her father-in-law.

Heh.

At that moment, having concluded her announcements, Feng Yuwan followed Yang Chen’s line of sight and noticed Long Tianyu lurking in a corner, his gaze overtly audacious.

A surge of anger instantly flared within her.

“How dare you!” she snapped, her voice icy. “Long Tianyu, you’re merely a son-in-law. Who permitted you to be here?”

An overwhelming pressure from her Fourth Stage Soul Transformation cultivation swept across the hall, directly bearing down on Long Tianyu.

A phantom image of a Crimson Dragon emerged around him in defense, but with Feng Yuwan’s enhanced power and fortified Ice Phoenix bloodline, the dragon phantom shattered almost instantly under her might.

Bang!  

Without the dragon’s protection, Long Tianyu, with only his Foundation Establishment cultivation, stood no chance. He was sent crashing to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

“Useless!” Feng Yuwan declared coldly, her expression filled with disdain. For a mere son-in-law to gaze at her so insolently was beyond tolerable. If not for his nominal marriage to Qian Ning and her position as his mother-in-law, she would have ended his life on the spot.

Coughing up another mouthful of blood, Long Tianyu’s eyes remained fixed on Feng Yuwan and Yang Chen atop the dais.

Feng Yuwan’s face was stern and aloof, while Yang Chen’s lips curved into a mocking, contemptuous smile.

“Ah! Damn you both!” Long Tianyu seethed internally, his eyes bloodshot with rage. “Feng Yuwan, you witch! Yang Chen can hold you as he pleases, but I can’t even look? Witch! Both of you!”

[Ding! Feng Yuwan has severely injured Long Tianyu, causing his mental state to collapse. 1,000 points of Providence Luck has been plundered from the Son of Destiny, Long Tianyu. The host has gained 1,000VPs!]

The system’s notification echoed, and Yang Chen’s smirk deepened.

Oh, Yu’er, your mother-in-law’s lesson was well-deserved. Looking at her with such brazen eyes—truly disrespectful.
