Looking at Elder Ying's submissive demeanor, Su Muwan naturally knew this was just for show.
However... there would be plenty of time to deal with them later.
So she stood up with a light laugh: "Heh."
"How boring."
She mockingly looked at the two defeated people before her, enunciating each word: "So this is the Long Family? Nothing but a tiny clan from an insignificant place."
"Pathetic."
"Let's go, Qin Luo. Let's sit somewhere else. These two are an eyesore."
"Yes, Young Miss."
With that, the two left one after another.
As Su Muwan departed, the atmosphere gradually warmed up again.
Long Xiayue watched Su Muwan leave, her panicked and fearful expression slowly fading.
Only to be replaced by one of twisted anger.
Su Muwan!!!
How dare she call my Long Family a tiny clan from an insignificant place?!
She's asking for death!!
"Grandfather Ying, I must have Su Muwan killed!"
Long Xiayue's expression was contorted as she clenched her fists tightly.
She had always had things go her way since childhood and had never suffered such humiliation before!
Hearing this, Elder Ying pondered for a moment, his eyes also showing a hint of coldness as he said hoarsely: "Don't worry, Young Miss."
"Our Dragon King Palace forces are heading towards the Lin Family."
"When the time comes, we just need to wait for the Dragon King to return and lead us in suppressing Su Muwan and the Lin Family!"
"For now... we must endure!"
Hearing this,
Although Long Xiayue was unwilling, she still nodded.
That's right.
We still have the remaining forces of the Dragon King Palace coming.
And we have the Dragon King!
Su Muwan, who do you think you are?
When the time comes, you'll be the one kneeling and begging for forgiveness!
As for that follower of yours, hah!
Remembering how that follower had slapped her Elder Ying's face,
She decided she would cripple all his limbs and destroy his dantian!
Time passed.
The guests invited to the birthday banquet arrived one after another.
However, those who arrived later, including Old Master Lin, noticed something strange.
That was...
He looked at the various family heads covering their faces with fearful and angry expressions.
Hmm...
Were their faces somewhat swollen??
Well, it must be mosquito bites from the summer heat.
Thinking this, Old Master Lin quietly instructed his subordinates: "Go arrange some mosquito incense. Look how swollen their faces are from the bites."
Though his voice was low,
Some people still heard it.
Their faces immediately flushed with shame, each covering their faces and lowering their heads.
Su Muwan!! You poisonous woman!!
How dare you humiliate us like this! After the banquet ends, we must all unite to condemn your Su Family!
After making the arrangements,
Old Master Lin, wearing a Tang suit, stood in front of a microphone and happily clasped his hands saying: "Welcome everyone to my birthday banquet."
"I am very touched and excited."
"Because today I have two important announcements to make."
"I hope all the representatives from the various families here will witness this with me!"
Below the stage,
Qin Luo and Su Muwan sat at a small round table covered with desserts.
Qin Luo watched with amusement as Su Muwan ate sweets, saying: "Young Miss, I think one of Old Master Lin's announcements likely concerns us."
"Oh? Why?"
Su Muwan asked curiously as she stuffed a cream puff in her mouth.
Qin Luo smiled and said, "Well, you had me save Old Master Lin's life before."
"And the Lin Family has always wanted to advance into Jiang City's upper-class families."
"So..."
"Pleasing you, Young Miss, has become key to their advancement."
"If you don't believe me... just watch."
Qin Luo hadn't forgotten the reward the system had given after saving Old Master Lin's life.
[Reward: 70% of Lin Family assets]
His eyes showed a mysterious glint - this must be what Old Master Lin wanted to announce.
Sure enough,
The next moment,
Old Master Lin announced in front of everyone: "The Lin Family officially declares that we willingly become a subsidiary family of the Su Family! We voluntarily transfer 70% of the Lin Family assets to Young Miss Su!"
As the words fell,
The Lin Family members, including Lin Wanrong, showed proud smiles.
As for the other families, some were dumbfounded, some shocked, and others regretted not thinking of this approach themselves.
*Applause erupts*
Long Xiayue sat below, still shaken. She looked contemptuously at the beaming Lin Family members.
Cursing in her heart,
Such opportunists with such short-sighted views.
If they knew the Dragon King's true identity later, they would probably regret it so much their jaws would drop!
Thinking this, Long Xiayue turned to Elder Ying and asked: "Grandfather Ying, where is the Dragon King? Have you found him?"
Long Xiayue found it strange that Xiao Tian wasn't at the banquet.
Hearing this,
Elder Ying felt puzzled. He closed his eyes to sense the entire Lin Family residence again.
Then opening his eyes, he shook his head in confusion, saying: "Young Miss, I don't know what's wrong, but I cannot sense the Dragon King's aura."
As he said this, Elder Ying was also full of questions.
By all rights, the Dragon King's cultivation level should be extremely prominent, but... why couldn't he sense it?
Qin Luo smiled as he watched Su Muwan's mouth hanging slightly open, her expression dumbfounded.
He said: "Young Miss, what did I tell you? See?"
Su Muwan's mind was buzzing.
What?
Really?
The Lin Family directly volunteered to become a subsidiary of the Su Family??
And transferred their assets to her name?
But... this never happened in her previous life.
Su Muwan was stunned - was this the butterfly effect?
But... this script wasn't quite right!
Why... why was everything going so much more smoothly than in her previous life?
Su Muwan blinked. At this rate, she would start thinking she was also chosen by fate.
How strange that everyone who was destined for greatness in her previous life was now rushing to join her side.
Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Su Muwan also stood up, her lips curving into a slight smile as she said: "Then this Young Miss welcomes the Lin Family under my command."
Seeing Su Muwan's agreement, Old Master Lin immediately relaxed and laughed heartily: "Thank you, Young Miss Su!"
Su Muwan nodded slightly and sat down.
Old Master Lin continued: "Additionally, this old man has a second announcement to make."
Speaking, he gestured for everyone to look at Lin Wanrong and a young man beside him.
Old Master Lin slowly said: "I'm sure everyone knows that my Wanrong married that useless son-in-law Xiao Tian."
"But... after careful consideration, this old man has discovered..."
"This Xiao Tian has truly evil intentions! He deliberately damaged my tendons and body multiple times in the hospital - his heart is truly vicious!"
"Therefore! Taking this birthday banquet as an opportunity, this old man officially announces!"
Old Master Lin pulled out a divorce agreement already signed by one party and declared: "My granddaughter... will divorce Xiao Tian!"
As the words fell,
The whole venue erupted in chaos.
Divorce?!
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
