An Unexpected Turn: Villain Becomes Dad

Chapter 105

The flying spiritual boat descended over the ancient Ice and Snow City, with the Xuantian Sect’s banner flying in the wind. Soon, several cultivators stepped into the air and approached. Seeing Yang Chen standing on the deck, a middle-aged female cultivator hurriedly cupped her hands and said, “Inner Sect Elder Song Hui greets the Holy Son!”

As she spoke, Song Hui addressed the surrounding cultivators, “Fellow Daoists, this is the Holy Son of our Xuantian Sect! The Sect Master sending the Holy Son shows the importance placed on the Feng Family!”

“So this is the Holy Son!”

“We greet the Holy Son!”

The cultivators all saluted, their faces excited. After all, their Feng Family urgently needed the support of Xuantian Sect in the competition for the city lord position. The Holy Son’s personal visit, compared to the arrival of an inner sect elder, held a vastly different significance. The arrival of a sect’s Holy Son strongly indicated the Sect Master’s attitude towards the Feng Family.

“Greetings, seniors!” Yang Chen stood on the deck of the flying spiritual boat, smiling warmly and courteously. The breeze blew, giving him an ethereal quality. The elders of the Feng Family had a glimmer of admiration in their eyes. This Holy Son of Xuantian Sect was indeed extraordinary, just as the rumors said.

“Holy Son, your arrival at the ancient Ice and Snow City is a great honor for our Feng Family! Please, our family head has been waiting for a long time!”

“Alright, please lead the way!”

Yang Chen disembarked from the flying spiritual boat. Xu Qingxuan and a group of Xuantian Sect cultivators followed behind. This time, the mission was to support the Feng Family patriarch in becoming the city lord of the ancient Ice and Snow City. It was not only because Feng Famil’s head, Feng Yuwan, was a close friend of the Sect Master but also because it directly related to the interests of Xuantian Sect. Therefore, Xuantian Sect had sent more than ten elders to accompany Yang Chen.

In the Feng Family’s grand hall, a woman dressed in a moon-white palace robe, slightly plump with a dignified demeanor, saw Yang Chen approaching. Her beautiful face first showed surprise, then blossomed into a smile that could overshadow all flowers. “This must be the Holy Son of Xuantian Sect! The Holy Son is indeed the leader of the younger generation in the Northern Spiritual Realm! Remarkable indeed!”

The woman in the palatial robe was Feng Yuwan, the patriarch of the Feng Family. Having cultivated for a thousand years, her cultivation had reached the Soul Transformation realm. But seeing Yang Chen, she couldn’t help but genuinely praise him. Yang Chen did not deliberately conceal his cultivation. With her Soul Transformation realm cultivation, Feng Yuwan could sense that Yang Chen’s cultivation had reached the Eighth stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Such cultivation had left his peers far behind. After all, the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters of major top powers were mostly still at the Golden Core realm. Those who had reached the late Golden Core realm were already outstanding among them.

“Junior Yang Chen greets Senior Feng!” Yang Chen bowed slightly, his attitude respectful and modest. He did not display any arrogance despite being the Holy Son of Xuantian Sect and Feng Family needing Xuantian Sect’s support. He spoke many flattering words. Feng Yuwan’s beautiful eyes showed even more admiration.

Handsome appearance, gentle and elegant demeanor. Zhan Lingshuang, that domineering woman, had actually trained such an excellent disciple. Rare indeed.

In the Feng Family’s grand hall, there were many people present, all elders and core disciples of the Feng Family. At this moment, an elder of the Feng Family stepped forward and bowed, saying, “Patriarch, the banquet is ready. Why not invite the Holy Son and the Xuantian Sect fellows to the feast and chat over food?”

“Yes, good idea!” Feng Yuwan nodded slightly, then said to Yang Chen, “Holy Son, the delicacies of our Ice and Snow City are quite unique. How about we sit down and taste them?”

“Sure!” Yang Chen agreed. Behind the grand hall, each jade table was laid with dozens of dishes. Some dishes even emitted a faint glow. As a family with Soul Transformation realm cultivator(s), the Feng Family naturally would not serve mundane food as so-called delicacies. The main ingredients of the food on the jade tables were all rare herbs and beasts from the Falling Snow Mountain Range.

Yang Chen looked at a soup as white as jade. An elder of the Feng Family immediately introduced, “Holy Son, this soup is called Snow Jade Soup, made from thousand-year cold jade marrow from the Falling Snow Mountain Range! This lamb leg is from the hind leg of a Golden Core realm mountain snow sheep, its meat is extremely tender! This stir-fried mushroom dish is made from thousand-year snow mushrooms from the Falling Snow Mountain Range!”

Yang Chen nodded. It was clear that the Feng Family valued their arrival very much. Each of these ingredients was top-notch, and even Nascent Soul cultivators would find it hard to eat them regularly …

The banquet went smoothly. At this moment, a tall woman in a white snow robe approached.

“Mother!”

The tall woman’s voice was elegant, like an orchid in an empty valley. Upon hearing this, Feng Yuwan introduced to Yang Chen, “Holy Son, this is my adopted daughter. Although not my biological child, I have always treated her as my own! Qian Ning has often told me she admires you greatly, and now she finally has the chance to meet you in person! Holy Son, would you let Qian Ning keep you company while I greet some elders?”

Yang Chen nodded. Before coming, he had thoroughly understood the specific situations of the major families in ancient Ice and Snow City, especially the Feng Family.

Feng Family’s head, Feng Yuwan, had entered the Soul Transformation realm five hundred years ago. She had cultivated for a thousand years but remained single, with no partner or children. However, she had adopted a daughter who had awakened the Ice Phoenix bloodline. With extraordinary talent, she would surely reach the Soul Transformation stage in the future if she did not meet an untimely end.

Yang Chen glanced at Feng Qian Ning. He sensed the Ice Phoenix bloodline in her. The Feng Family had almost all core members attending the banquet to welcome him. However, Yang Chen scanned the room and sensed few who had awakened the Ice Phoenix bloodline. It showed how rare it was for someone to awaken the Ice Phoenix bloodline.

“Holy Son, Qian Ning has always admired you. May I offer you a toast?” Feng Qian Ning said, raising her cup. Yang Chen could see the unnatural look in her eyes. It was obvious that this was a deliberate arrangement by Feng Yuwan or the Feng Family. His master daughter, Feng Yuwan had a more mature charm.

“Miss Qian Ning, you are too polite!” Yang Chen raised his cup and lightly clinked it against hers. His attitude was gentle and respectful, and his gaze merely swept over her previously tense face easing considerably.

[Ding! Detected new Son of Destiny, Long Tianyu!]

[Characteristics: Possesses True Dragon bloodline, hails from Central Continent outside Northern Spiritual Realm, a direct descendant of the Red Dragon Family of Central Continent. Twenty years ago, due to a family strife, he came to Northern Spiritual Realm and was favored by the Supreme Elder of the Feng Family. Currently, he is the son-in-law of the Feng Family and Feng Qian Ning’s nominal husband!]

[Note: Long Tianyu has a similar disposition to the host!]

[Current Providence Luck value: 30,000 points!]

[Ding! The host’s high-profile arrival at the Feng Family, receiving the highest level of hospitality, drinking and chatting with Feng Yuwan and Feng Qian Ning, caused Long Tianyu to feel jealous and had damaged his state of mind. You have plundered 500 points of Providence Luck from the Son of Destiny, Long Tianyu. The host has gained 500 VPs!]

Listening to the system’s voice in his mind, Yang Chen was momentarily stunned.

Long Tianyu? What a domineering name*. However, this guy’s state of mind seemed too fragile. Just having a conversation and sharing a drink with his mother-in-law and wife was enough to make him jealous?
