Chapter 411: Chapter 411: 2 Conditions

Duncan panicked instantly. He hurried over, grabbed the girl, and said anxiously,

"Don’t go, my dear girl! If you leave, who will help me win over Ye Feng? Without Ye Feng and the old immortal backing him, what am I going to do if the Underworld comes for revenge?"

He then turned to Ye Feng, forcing a smile. "Ye Feng, I’m willing to return the Qilin Spear to you. I’m also willing to honor the marriage contract and have Ling’Er marry you. ℯℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

I only have one condition: have your master and his people come over quickly. Otherwise, if the Underworld shows up, the Deng family is done for!

If you agree, I’ll hold the wedding ceremony for you two tonight and see you to the bridal chamber!"

’What if I give the Qilin Spear back to Ye Feng and the little bastard just takes it and bolts? Who could I even complain to then?’

’Only by using my daughter can I bind Ye Feng securely to my war chariot. Only then will the Deng family have a chance at survival.’

Ye Feng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. ’The switch from arrogance to servility is a bit too obvious, isn’t it?!’

He was about to speak, but the girl beside him—Deng Ling’Er—spoke up calmly. "Hold on. Let me say something about this."

She looked at Ye Feng and said, "This conflict between the Deng family and the Underworld was entirely provoked by you. If you’re a man, you should take responsibility for resolving this crisis for the Deng family. So, are you a man?"

Heh, how could Ye Feng say no to that? Of course he couldn’t. It wasn’t just that he had the goods to back it up; even if he didn’t, he’d have to bite the bullet and say yes. So he nodded. "I am."

Deng Ling’Er nodded and continued, "Alright, let’s set that aside and talk about our marriage. I won’t say things like you’re not worthy of me. I, Deng Ling’Er, am just an ordinary person, after all.

But I, Deng Ling’Er, refuse to just marry any random man. If you want to marry me, fine. You must first prove your capabilities to me! Do that, and I, Deng Ling’Er, will naturally marry you!"

What a grand speech!

Even Ye Feng couldn’t help but admire her inwardly. Still, he looked at Deng Ling’Er, shook his head, and said, "Miss Ling’Er, I only came here to get back my Qilin Spear. I have no ill intentions toward you whatsoever..."

Deng Ling’Er stared at him, then suddenly let out a dry laugh. "Do you even believe the words coming out of your own mouth? You were all over me the moment we met, and that greedy look in your eyes gives you away. Can you stop being so phony? If this is how you are, I’m just going to fail you right now!"

Ye Feng: "..."

Just then, Ye Feng’s phone rang. He answered it, and Blood Phoenix’s urgent voice came through.

"Ye Feng, the Underworld’s forces are at Tongtian City’s gates! They’re saying they’re going to level the entire city! Get back here, quick!"

Ye Feng’s eyes narrowed. He spoke in a cold voice, "The Underworld, is it? Excellent. I’m on my way."

Ye Feng put away the Qilin Spear and turned to head outside, sending a text message as he walked.

Deng Ling’Er said coolly, "I’m going too. I want to see for myself what you’re really made of."

Behind them, Duncan gritted his teeth. "I’m going too!"

This was the moment to choose a side.

A slight smile touched Ye Feng’s lips as he strode outside.

The group had just reached the entrance when they saw a man in a suit walking toward them. It was Feng Jia.

Seeing Ye Feng in the lead, Feng Jia paused for a second before letting out a cold, mocking laugh.

"You piece of trash, not dead yet? Don’t worry, you’re about to be. I’ve already informed the Underworld. Their masters will be here any minute to finish you off.

This is what you get for daring to steal my woman!"

Ye Feng’s eyes narrowed and he was about to speak, but Deng Ling’Er stepped forward and looked at Feng Jia, her voice cool.

"So you’re the one who called the Underworld."

"That’s right!" Feng Jia made no attempt to deny it. "This is the fate he deserves for daring to steal my woman. You can only be mine! Mine!"

Before he could finish, Deng Ling’Er’s Yama Dagger was already buried in his chest.

Feng Jia screamed, his hands clamping down on Deng Ling’Er’s. He stared at her, his eyes filled with disbelief. "You... you..."

Deng Ling’Er looked down at him and said with contempt, "If you had confronted him openly, like a man, I could have respected that. But you used such a despicable, underhanded trick. I despise cowards like you who scheme in the shadows."

With that, she kicked him, sending him sprawling to the ground. Feng Jia twitched for a moment, then went still.

Ye Feng looked at Deng Ling’Er, his expression twitching. ’She’s talking about scheming in the shadows? Isn’t she the true master of that?’

...

By then, Duncan had gathered the masters of his family. Together with Ye Feng and Deng Ling’Er, they sped toward Tongtian City.

...

「Tongtian City」

The vast plaza before the East Gate was a sea of black, packed with people from the Underworld. There were easily over a hundred thousand of them. A sinister, ghostly aura surged into the sky, instantly transforming Tongtian City into a realm of the dead.

Seeing the scene before him, Han Qiang’s legs almost gave out. ’The Underworld is really playing for keeps this time,’ he thought. ’They’re actually going to level Tongtian City!’

Just then, a burly man stepped out from the crowd. He looked up at Han Qiang and roared, "Han Qiang, you old bastard! You dare conspire with an outsider to harm the Young Master? Are you trying to get yourself killed?"

Although Han Qiang had resolved to stand firm against the Underworld, the sight of so many people scared him shitless. He forced a placating smile at the burly man. "Judge Chen, this is all a misunderstanding, a total misunderstanding! Please, let me explain..."

"Misunderstanding my ass!" The burly man cut him off before he could finish. He pointed a finger at Han Qiang and said coldly,

"I’ll give you two ways out. One: hand over Ye Feng for us to deal with. Two: hand over your daughter. We’re taking her back for a ghost marriage with our Young Master. Do as you’re told, and we can forget this ever happened. Otherwise, we’ll level Tongtian City!"

Han Qiang was stunned. These demands were outrageous!

Just then, Blood Phoenix, who was standing nearby, pointed at Judge Chen and started screaming,

"Why don’t you have your own wife in a ghost marriage with that piece of trash! Have your daughter marry him! Go fuck yourself! Keep running your mouth and I’ll cut you down where you stand!"

Han Qiang stared at Blood Phoenix, dumbfounded. ’When did this girl get so fierce?’

The burly man looked at Blood Phoenix and chuckled. "What a sharp-tongued little bitch. I’m going to enjoy nailing you into your coffin myself!"

With that, he stomped his feet and shot up toward the city wall, lunging straight for Blood Phoenix.

A father’s love is a powerful thing. Seeing his daughter in danger, Han Qiang’s courage suddenly surged.

His legs no longer trembled. He rushed forward, planted himself in front of Blood Phoenix, and glared at the burly man, saying through gritted teeth,

"If you want to touch my daughter, you’ll have to get through me first!"

The words had barely left his mouth when the burly man’s right fist came smashing toward him. Han Qiang let out a great roar and met the attack with his own fist.
