The protagonist stole my spiritual root? Hey, heroine, give birth to me!

However, at that very moment, Yun Ziling's eyes, as clear as autumn water, once again gazed upon Chen Xuan's handsome face. After a brief pause, she finally made up her mind and nodded without hesitation, indicating that she had made her decision.

Yun Ziling parted her lips slightly, her tone firm and sincere:

“It is only right. My husband, Duan Fei, is ignorant of his place and has offended you, Young Master Chen, in such a way. As his wife, I should naturally set an example and personally apologize to you, Young Master Chen! I hope that you, Young Master Chen, will be magnanimous and not hold it against us.”

These words caused a great stir, and everyone present had ambiguous expressions.

Duan Fei, in particular, was already dissatisfied with Yun Ziling's attitude, and was now even more furious.

"What?! Ling'er, what kind of nonsense are you spouting! Have you forgotten how noble your status is now? You are the mistress of my Dragon King Temple...!" Duan Fei stared wide-eyed at Yun Ziling, his face full of disbelief, seemingly unable to accept that she would say such a thing.

Seeing this, Shi Meitong was also furious. Without saying a word, she rushed forward and slapped Duan Fei hard across the face.

"Snapped!"

Shi Meitong's eyebrows shot up and her almond-shaped eyes widened: "You ungrateful wretch, you're a complete madman! I really don't know what got into my Yun family patriarch that he would agree to let someone like you marry into our Yun family!"

The slap sent Duan Fei staggering backward again. His head was buzzing, and a mix of anger and humiliation caused him to completely lose his mind.

"You're all insane!! You've all gone mad! You've all been bewitched by this Chen Xuan!" Duan Fei roared furiously, his once composed face now contorted with rage.

His aura surged uncontrollably like a turbulent sea, and the powerful energy fluctuations even caused subtle distortions in the surrounding space.

As his emotions grew increasingly agitated, an extremely terrifying pressure from a Celestial King slowly emanated from his body and spread outwards at an astonishing speed.

This oppressive aura was like an invisible mountain, pressing heavily on the hearts of everyone present, making it almost impossible for them to breathe.

However, just as everyone was stunned into immobility by this oppressive aura, Duan Fei seemed to suddenly remember something important and forcibly channeled his inner energy to direct the Immortal King's oppressive aura upwards into the sky.

In the blink of an eye, that chilling pressure shot straight into the sky like a giant dragon, stirring up the clouds above and causing them to churn endlessly.

The numerous guests gathered there were the first to feel the powerful pressure emanating from the sky. Their faces turned deathly pale, filled with terror, and their feet involuntarily retreated.

Yu Guili, who had been leisurely watching the farce from the high platform, changed his expression drastically after sensing the sudden oppressive aura.

His narrow eyes widened instantly, and cold sweat poured down his forehead. Then, without the slightest hesitation, he flashed into the sky like a bolt of lightning.

Once she reached a point level with the oppressive aura, Yu Guili quickly composed herself, respectfully bowed to the void, and said loudly, "We were unaware of which Celestial King has graced this place with his presence. We have failed to receive prior notice and are truly sorry for not welcoming you properly. Please forgive us, Celestial King!"

Upon seeing this, Shi Meitong's expression changed slightly, but she still fearlessly stood in front of Chen Xuan, glaring angrily at Duan Fei:

"Duan Fei, look at yourself now! Even the Celestial King can't stand it anymore! If you dare to act so presumptuously here again, I'll risk my old life today to prevent you from harming Young Master Chen in the slightest!"

Feeling the oppressive force from above and hearing Shi Meitong's words, Yun Ziling stood up and stood beside her mother. Looking up, her body trembled slightly, but her eyes were incredibly firm.

"Duan Fei, stop being so stubborn! Young Master Chen is a dragon in the sky for Fei Zai, with an unlimited future. He is not someone you can mess with. If you continue to act recklessly today, don't blame me for disregarding our years of marriage!"

Duan Fei looked at his wife and mother-in-law, who had always been obedient to him, now turning against him for the sake of an outsider, and his hatred grew even stronger.

But when he saw Yun Ziling's eyelashes trembling slightly with fear and worry, his anger subsided by more than half.

There was no way around it; even though his wife was now on the opposite side of him for another man, he still loved her terribly.

This is probably what love is!

"Ling'er, you're too willful! Do you know how much I've sacrificed for you!" Duan Fei said, his face filled with emotion.

Just as Duan Fei was indulging in self-pity, Chen Xuan remained calm throughout. He frowned slightly, looked at the chaotic scene before him, sighed softly, and said:

"That's enough, Madam Shi, Miss Yun, there's no need to hold a grudge against him for my sake. I won't hold it against him." His voice wasn't loud, but it seemed to carry a calming power, instantly quieting the noisy scene.

Seeing Chen Xuan's nonchalant demeanor, Duan Fei's jealousy burned even brighter, and he said viciously:

"Hmph, Chen Xuan, is it? Stop pretending to be nice to me. I, Duan Fei, will remember what happened today! In the future, I will make you understand the consequences of offending me!" With that, he turned to leave, but Shi Meitong grabbed him by the back of his collar.

"You've gone too far! Young Master Chen has already forgiven you, yet you still dare to be so ungrateful! You want to leave? You must give Young Master Chen an explanation for what happened today!" Shi Meitong's eyes were icy, and her tone was filled with unquestionable authority.

“Beautiful sister! I think we shouldn’t dwell on this matter. I haven’t finished the task my elder brother assigned me, so I need to talk to him first.”

"Oh my, as expected of Young Master Chen, he speaks so sweetly! Is she really that good-looking?" Shi Meitong was overjoyed when she heard Chen Xuan call her "sister".

"Big brother?! Young Master Chen, you have a big brother?"

Yun Ziling's focus was clearly different; she completely ignored Shi Meitong's words and asked Chen Xuan about the important points.

"Look, that's my older brother!" Chen Xuan said, pointing to Yu Guili in the sky.

"hiss!!!"

"You...you mean, Master Yu is your elder brother?!"

"Master Yu? How did my older brother become a half-immortal??"

"Because Senior Yu is already a half-step Immortal King, that's why we usually call him that," Yun Ziling explained.

"I see. But with my brother's talent, I think you don't need to be so conservative in your address. Just call him Immortal King. What do you say, brother?" Chen Xuan looked at Yu Guili in the sky.
