A furious roar came from nearby, instantly stopping Xiao Tian as he was about to retaliate.
His face changed, and he quickly looked towards the newcomer.
Qin Luo and Su Muwan also instinctively raised their eyes to look.
They saw a figure dressed in formal attire, holding an empty wine glass, with a flushed face and the smell of alcohol emanating from them.
Qin Luo immediately recognized the person's identity.
Lin Wanrong, the eldest daughter of the Lin Family and Xiao Tian's wife.
Su Muwan's eyes lit up with joy. Lin Wanrong! Xiao Tian's wife! Perfect! This could finally ease the current tense atmosphere!
Xiao Tian, seemingly accustomed to Lin Wanrong's insulting words, immediately noticed the smell of alcohol on her. He walked forward, full of concern, and said, "Wanrong, why did you drink so much?"
As soon as he finished speaking.
"Useless trash!"
Slap!!
Lin Wanrong angrily raised her hand and delivered a stinging slap.
The force made Xiao Tian's face burn with pain once again.
He maintained his tilted head position, clenching his fists tightly, but quickly relaxed them.
Qin Luo watched in disbelief, thinking, "No way, man, you can actually endure this?"
Su Muwan's original thoughts were instantly forgotten. Right, she had forgotten that this bastard was used to being slapped at home too.
Lin Wanrong clearly had no intention of letting Xiao Tian off the hook. Instead, she intensified her verbal assault: "Dragon King, Dragon King! Xiao Tian, do you really think you're the Dragon King of the Dragon King Palace?"
"You're just a useless piece of trash! A son-in-law who married into our Lin Family!"
"This Su Family Ball was supposed to be a perfect opportunity for our Lin Family to make connections! But now you've ruined it all! You worthless trash!"
Xiao Tian opened his mouth: "...Honey.."
Slap!
Lin Wanrong raised her hand for another slap: "Don't call me honey!"
"But, honey..."
Slap!
"Hon-"
Slap!
"Wanrong..."
Slap!!
Xiao Tian lowered his head, allowing Lin Wanrong to deliver a series of slaps. He changed his form of address, lowering his voice in humiliation and said, "Miss Lin, I didn't mean for this to happen, but those people all had ill intentions towards you."
"Hah, ill intentions..."
"At this Su Family Ball, who could possibly have ill intentions towards me? Do you think everyone is as mentally ill and useless as you?"
Lin Wanrong mercilessly mocked him, wiping away tears of disappointment from the corners of her eyes.
Then she turned to Su Muwan, took a deep breath, walked forward, and said with a mix of apology and nervousness: "I'm sorry, this useless Xiao Tian has offended Miss Su. I know Miss Su previously helped our Lin Family secure a ten-million-yuan order."
"Our entire Lin Family holds you in high regard, Miss Su."
"Could you... could you forgive us for not disciplining this useless trash properly?"
Su Muwan slightly softened her expression. Although she had seen this scene of Lin Wanrong slapping Xiao Tian in her previous life, watching it again still felt incredibly absurd.
So she smiled and said, "I'm not a petty person. Since Miss Lin has already apologized, I won't pursue the matter further."
"Miss Lin, we can exchange contact information. If there are more opportunities for cooperation in the future, we can keep in touch."
Lin Wanrong's expression brightened, happiness coming too suddenly.
She actually got Su Muwan's contact information!
It was truly the greatest fortune of her three lifetimes!!
On the side, Xiao Tian covered his cheek and said in a bitter voice, "Wanrong, that ten-million-yuan order was secured through my connections, not because of the Su family."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Wanrong, who had been in the middle of exchanging contact information, suddenly turned pale.
She looked at the useless son-in-law in disbelief: "You... you useless trash! How dare you speak so boldly in front of Miss Su!"
She had finally had the chance to exchange contact information with Su Muwan, but because of Xiao Tian's one sentence, it must have offended Miss Su.
As such, there was no way they could exchange contact information now. He truly was a good-for-nothing who could only ruin things!
She withdrew her phone and angrily walked towards Xiao Tian.
Su Muwan, who was just one step away from exchanging contact information, was stunned. She looked at the phone Lin Wanrong had withdrawn: "Uh....."
The next second.
Slap!
"Useless trash!!"
Lin Wanrong raised her hand for another slap, tears streaming down her face as she spoke with a choked, disappointed voice: "This ten million is all thanks to Miss Su's efforts. What does it have to do with you, a lazy good-for-nothing who does nothing at home!"
"Trash!"
At this moment, Qin Luo also stepped forward, fulfilling his role as a loyal lackey. He first gave Xiao Tian a look of contempt.
Then he sarcastically said, "Trash will always be trash. Miss Lin, it must be really hard for you to have such a useless son-in-law who married into your family."
"If possible, Miss Lin, why don't you divorce this useless man? It would prevent him from affecting your family's interests!"
As soon as he finished speaking, another fawning voice chimed in: "Mr. Qin is right. I've suggested this to my Wanrong many times, but Wanrong's grandfather just won't agree!"
"He insists that Xiao Tian and Wanrong's marriage was arranged by the previous Dragon King. Isn't that just nonsense!"
Qin Luo looked over to see a woman who looked like an older version of Lin Wanrong approaching. It was Lin Wanrong's mother, Liu Li.
"Mom..."
Lin Wanrong tugged at Liu Li, signaling her not to say such things in front of Xiao Tian.
Xiao Tian, upon hearing this, widened his eyes in disbelief. He looked at Liu Li: "Mom..."
"Shut up, you useless trash!! How dare you call me Mom?"
Slap!
Seeing that Xiao Tian dared to call her Mom, Liu Li immediately raised her hand and delivered a disgusted, angry slap.
This slap also prompted the onlooking crowd to start mocking.
"A mere son-in-law of the Lin family dares to put on airs in front of Miss Su? See, this is what happens."
"That's right, even his own family members don't side with this useless man. What's the point of him living?"
"Indeed, a useless son-in-law calling himself the Dragon King, it's truly laughable!"
"Hehe, you didn't hear what he said earlier, did you? He claimed that the ten-million-yuan deal for the Lin family was thanks to his help."
"Hahahahaha!! That's hilarious! Who doesn't know that deal was only secured thanks to Miss Su's intervention?!"
Xiao Tian's face was swollen from the slaps, and his ears were filled with waves of mockery.
But!!
Two words flashed in his mind.
Endure————!!
The six-year term hasn't ended yet, I must endure!!
So, Xiao Tian still tightly clenched his fists without exploding.
Qin Luo watched, blinking his eyes a few times.
As expected of the plot of a son-in-law Dragon King, this son-in-law role was truly well-deserved!
Just as he was about to continue humiliating the other party.
"That's enough."
"This is my Su family's ball, not a place to handle your family affairs."
With the sound of this indifferent voice, the Lin family finally stopped.
At this moment, Su Muwan's heart was in such turmoil that she couldn't calm down.
Exhausted, let me die.
She had thought that by being reborn, she could avoid the death plot, but..... she still ended up involved with a Dragon King.
"The young miss is right. My young miss has given your Lin family the benefit of a ten-million-yuan order! She even invited you to attend the ball! The purpose was to facilitate future cooperation!"
"But the result......"
Qin Luo, playing the role of a good lackey, glared fiercely at Xiao Tian: "The existence of this useless trash has simply polluted my young miss's eyes!"
Lin Wanrong's face turned pale, and Liu Li's figure swayed unsteadily.
Su Muwan lowered her head: Stop talking, please stop talking.
Xiao Tian, however, spoke in a cold voice: "Just a mere lackey, relying on someone else's power. Wait until I..."
Slap!
"Shut up, you useless trash!!"
Lin Wanrong's voice was out of control as she slapped him again.
Then she bowed to Su Muwan and apologized: "I'm sorry, Miss Su! This ball incident is our Lin family's fault. We'll... we'll leave now so as not to disturb everyone's peace. Tomorrow, our Lin family will come to the Su family to formally apologize!"
With that, she dragged Xiao Tian away, leaving in disgrace.

Meanwhile, Qin Luo's mind also received the system's prompt.
He gleefully walked to Su Muwan's side and loyally said: "Mission accomplished, young miss!"
As for Su Muwan, looking at her loyal little follower.
Suddenly......
Her vision went black, her mind went blank, and she fainted from anger.
Ah.....
Let it... be this way...
"Young miss!"
"Young miss!"
"Young miss!"

Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely."

No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
