Su Yan was a Martial Saint, and her daughter was the group leader of the Devouring Heaven Club.
This news was an immense shock to Chen Feng.
However, he still hesitated for a long time about the marriage proposal.
In the end, he sent another message, still uncertain.
[Su Yan, are you sure that if I marry your daughter, she will quit the Devouring Heaven Club?]
Su Yan revealed a meaningful smile.
[Of course! I can guarantee it.]
Chen Feng hesitated for a long while before finally making up his mind.
[Can we meet first sometime?]
[For something like this, we should really talk in person.]
For the sake of his disciple, and for the greater stability of Great Xia, he decided to meet Su Yan's daughter first.
On the other end, Su Yan replied with a chuckle:
[You set the time, place, and room. I'll come find you.]
[Master, you won't secretly send people to capture me, will you!]
Chen Feng gave a bitter smile.
[Don't worry! I won't do that.]
[But your daughter won't try to force herself on me, will she?]
Su Yan laughed heartily.
[That's not necessarily guaranteed.]
[My daughter has grown up without ever tasting a man.]
[Little Master, you'll have to teach her a thing or two.]
Chen Feng broke out in a sweat!
Is that something a mother should say?
...
Soon after, Yang Honghui found Chen Feng and reported on some matters.
After this battle, only three Martial Saints remained in Great Xia.
It could be said to be the weakest point in Great Xia's history.
Top-tier combat power was severely lacking.
However, there was also a piece of news that was good, but not entirely reassuring.
The other three covetous continents had lost all their native Martial Saints.
Only two Martial Saints who were traitors to Great Xia remained.
Chen Feng knew this matter couldn't possibly end here.
Great Xia would definitely have follow-up actions.
A war was most likely unavoidable.
Right at that moment, Chen Feng received a summons from the Martial Arts Guild.
And this time, it was both the Dugu Sword Demon and Wang Zun who received him in person.
Only those two were present, with no other members of the Martial Arts Guild.
Wang Zun looked worried and remained silent.
The Dugu Sword Demon glanced at Chen Feng and recounted what happened at the final moment of the battle that day.
"At the last moment, Zhang Bowen was swallowed by the Jiao Snake from Kunlun Mountain."
"That Jiao Snake was summoned by him. I'm not certain if Zhang Bowen is dead."
"If he still isn't dead this time, then all those deaths in Great Xia would have been in vain."
Chen Feng hadn't expected that even with ten Martial Saints making a move, they still couldn't kill Zhang Bowen.
He was even more surprised that Zhang Bowen could summon that Jiao Snake from the Azure Dragon Tomb.
The thought sent a chill down his spine.
Back when he fought Zhang Bowen at the Four Symbols Chasm, if the other party had also summoned the Jiao Snake to attack...
He'd probably be snake dung with grass growing over it by now.
After all, that was a monster capable of swallowing four Martial Saints in one bite.
However, Chen Feng felt that Zhang Bowen probably couldn't summon the Jiao Snake at will.
Otherwise, back at the Four Symbols Chasm, he wouldn't have needed to fight personally.
After a moment of silence, the Dugu Sword Demon voiced his thoughts.
"I hope you will enter the Kunlun Mountains again."
"To investigate whether Zhang Bowen is alive or dead."
"Of course, this could be very dangerous. We also don't know the exact nature of your relationship with the Kunlun Ancient Tribes."
After listening, Chen Feng fell into deep thought.
Previously, he felt that apart from the Four Symbols Chasm and those forbidden zones, the rest of the Kunlun Mountains were like his personal backyard for gathering resources.
Only now did he realize he wasn't that safe after all.
Turns out, Jiao Snakes could also roam around.
Nevertheless, Chen Feng still planned to enter Kunlun once to investigate news of Zhang Bowen.
After all, Elder Li Kong, who had always looked out for him, had also died in that battle.
As for safety, it shouldn't be a major issue.
Every time he entered, as long as he didn't actively appear before the Ancient Tribes, only Qianqian would know.
Qianqian probably wouldn't betray him by telling Zhang Bowen about his whereabouts.
After returning to Kunlun City,
Chen Feng made some arrangements for matters at the Chosen Martial Arts School.
The reconstruction work would have to be temporarily left to Grandpa Jin and his three disciples.
However, before entering the Kunlun Mountains, Chen Feng intended to first meet with his disciple Su Yan and her daughter.
To stabilize this mother-daughter pair and prevent them from causing trouble.
When it came to things like dates, Chen Feng wasn't very experienced.
He chose a small park in Kunlun City as the meeting spot.
The park was somewhat remote but relatively well-preserved.
The great battle hadn't reached this place.
Chen Feng arrived first at the pavilion in the small park. The entire remote park was almost completely deserted.
Su Yan also arrived at the small park as agreed.
She dispelled her disguise technique, revealing her true appearance.
With a giggle, she walked up to Chen Feng.
Seeing Su Yan, Chen Feng was first startled.
Only then did he realize her face wasn't the same as the one on the wanted posters.
He just hadn't expected that someone else would come to this specifically chosen remote spot.
Chen Feng hurriedly pulled out his phone.
He sent a message to Su Yan.
[Su Yan, where are you?]
[Let's change locations. Someone else came here. If your daughter gets recognized, it could be really troublesome.]
Su Yan also took out her phone and opened the message.
She couldn't help but let out a light laugh.
She had originally been wondering, who chooses a park's small grove for a first date with a girl?
So it was because he was afraid she'd be recognized.
She thought to herself:
"Little Master is quite considerate, how thoughtful."
Su Yan walked straight up to Chen Feng and held her phone screen towards him.
"Silly, it's me."
Chen Feng looked at the beautiful woman before him in surprise.
Especially when he saw the chat messages on the screen.
Soon, Chen Feng seemed to figure something out.
He sighed in relief and said:
"You scared me. I thought Su Yan's daughter was the leader of the Devouring Heaven Club."
"Turns out Su Yan was just joking with me. I thought those photos of the Devouring Heaven Club's group leader were real."
Seeing Chen Feng's relieved expression, Su Yan teased with a playful smile:
"So, do you like the Devouring Heaven Club's group leader, or do you like me?"
Chen Feng answered without thinking:
"Of course I like..."
That didn't seem right. He felt like he was being led into a trap.
In this situation, liking either one didn't seem quite appropriate.
However, the beauty before him was no less stunning than the Devouring Heaven Club's group leader.
Even the fiery proportions of her figure were almost on par.
Especially those full, long legs under the tight jeans—Chen Feng couldn't help but sneak several glances.
He hurriedly changed the subject.
"Where's Su Yan?"
Su Yan immediately turned on the drama, her eyes reddening:
"Mom... she went into qi deviation by accident while breaking through to Martial Saint..."
"She's now critically ill. She just hopes I find a good match soon, otherwise she won't rest in peace."
Shocking!
Chen Feng hadn't expected that one could go into qi deviation while breaking through to Martial Saint.
Right at that moment, Su Yan threw herself into Chen Feng's arms.
She began to sob quietly.
Her body trembled slightly.
But no tears were to be seen.
Chen Feng stood there awkwardly, his hands hovering in the air, unsure where to place them.
Su Yan secretly revealed a triumphant smile.
She thought to herself:
"Since Senior Sister Youxi can't seize the opportunity, this junior sister will just have to get there first!"
"Hehehe..."
A long time later, Chen Feng's brain finally started working again.
He gently pushed Su Yan away and said:
"You don't need to worry too much."
"I have Vermilion Fruits. They can save your mother."
"Wait here for me. I'll be right back."
And he ran off!
Su Yan watched her little master flee in disarray and couldn't help but burst into loud laughter.
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."

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
