The Rise of Dragon Son-in-Law

Prince Yan’s pupils shrank sharply as he saw Long Chen truly dare to deliver a killing blow.

For the first time as Prince Yan, he lost his dignity.

This infuriated Prince Yan, his murderous intent pervading the air, yet he dared not act.

Because Yan Yiqiu was his only son.

If Yan Yiqiu were crippled, he would have no successor, and no matter how powerful the Yan Royal Mansion was, it would lose its meaning.

After much thought, Prince Yan decided to compromise first.

As long as he could save Yan Yiqiu, whatever came afterwards would be up to him.

With this in mind, Prince Yan’s face fell, and he said in a heavy voice, "This son of mine has acted improperly; I ask for your forbearance."

"I can’t forbear, this isn’t even an apology," Long Chen replied indifferently.

"You..."

Prince Yan’s face turned ashen.

"Young man, you’ve disrespected Prince Yan over and over again. Is this really wise?"

Behind Prince Yan, a middle-aged man with sharp eyes was itching to move.

Long Chen raised an eyebrow, "You seem eager to strike at me?"

"Yes."

The man was straightforward and did not deny it, showing a wild nature.

"Fine, I will allow you to try and kill me. If you have the ability to rescue Yan Yiqiu from my hands, then today, you will call the shots.

However, let me be clear, if you fail, then you only have one path left—death. Now, I give you five seconds to consider."

Long Chen remained calm.

"No need to consider, I challenge you to a battle."

The man lunged at Long Chen with the speed of an arrow, intent on assault.

Boom.

His punch was fierce, quite formidable.

But before Long Chen, a titan of the Cultivation World, it was like an ant.

With a mere finger from afar, the man’s forehead exploded.

His charging figure also thudded to the ground, never to rise again, dead on the spot.

Seeing this, everyone around was shocked to their core.

Prince Yan’s face changed drastically, "Wasn’t it said that your Martial Arts Cultivation had... had been wasted? How can you..."

"I have your son to thank for this, if not for him, my cultivation likely wouldn’t have advanced further by leaps and bounds," Long Chen said lightly.

Hearing this, the aura of Prince Yan being a Prince vanished instantly.

Faced with someone who surpassed a Martial Arts Grandmaster, even as Prince Yan, he did not dare to challenge.

He was even more aware that none of the martial experts behind him was a match for Long Chen.

All of them together would probably face disaster.

"Mr. Long, I..."

"Let me remind you, I am called Chen Feng," said Long Chen indifferently.

"Right, right, Mr. Chen, previously this small Prince has offended you greatly, and I offer my sincere apologies now, I’m sorry."

Prince Yan bowed deeply.

As Prince Yan bowed, all present changed their expressions.

The mighty Prince Yan was forced to bow and apologize.

Needless to say, this youth known as Chen Feng certainly had reason to be proud.

But Long Chen was not about to let Prince Yan and his son off so easily.

Because Long Chen had thoroughly understood that if he didn’t show absolute strength, he was sure to die terribly.

Prince Yan’s temporary submission was only because, after weighing his options, he realized he had no way to deal with Long Chen and thus had bowed his head, nothing more.

"Prince Yan, as a member of the Great Xia Royal Family, you can’t even control your own son, letting him run rampant and bully others, wishing to take possession of other women. Do you think that by simply bowing your head and bending your back, the matter will be resolved?

I think, I can report this matter to Ancestor Xia, and if Ancestor Xia doesn’t care, I can find my own way to make you, Prince Yan, die silently in your own manor. Do you believe me?"

Long Chen stared at Prince Yan fearlessly.

In his eyes, so-called kings were of no significance.

Prince Yan knew very well that Long Chen was not joking or merely threatening him.

For Long Chen indeed possessed such extraordinary strength.

It was best not to sing out of tune with him at this moment.

"Mr. Chen, this small Prince has indeed done wrong. And the various actions of my son have truly been impolite. When I return, I will definitely discipline him strictly."

Prince Yan said in a deep voice.

"No," Long Chen stated firmly, "I have said before, ’to not discipline is a parent’s fault.’ The reason Yan Yiqiu is still alive is because I wanted to see your attitude, Prince Yan.

I am giving you a chance to apologize in place of your son, kneel down, and publicly promise that from now on, you will wholeheartedly serve the people and harbor no selfish intent. Can you do that?"

"This..."

"If you can’t, just say so. Don’t hem and haw; there’s a way to deal with what you can do and a way to deal with what you can’t," Long Chen said indifferently.

"I can."

Prince Yan hesitated no longer.

Bang.

He knelt down immediately, kneeling before Long Chen.

With this kneel, the dignity of the prince was gone.

"I promise that from now on, I will wholeheartedly serve the people, sincerely repent, and strive to not make the same mistakes again."

Prince Yan lowered his head, his voice very somber.

Long Chen recorded the entire scene on his mobile phone.

A minute later, Long Chen said, "Stand up."

"Thank you."

Prince Yan got to his feet.

"Now, you can take your son and leave," Long Chen said.

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Chen."

Prince Yan clenched his fists secretly.

Moments later, Prince Yan and his entourage walked towards the exit with Yan Yiqiu.

As everyone headed to the door, Long Chen spoke indifferently, "Prince Yan, I have recorded everything that just happened on video. Whether this video is made public depends on your attitude in the future.

Of course, if any of the many guests here go out and spread rumors, you can deal with them your way. I won’t interfere."

"Okay."

Prince Yan stepped away.

As soon as Prince Yan left, the scene suddenly became lively.

The crafty Ye He loudly said, "Ladies and gentlemen, it’s a fortune for my Ye Family’s Ye Zhiqiu to have encountered such a man whose strength and courage are beyond the ordinary. It’s her blessing and our Ye Family’s blessing. Though today brought some unpleasantness, we are ultimately one family. Please don’t ridicule us, we thank you."

"Of course, congratulations to the old master, congratulations to Miss Ye."

"Miss Ye truly has a discerning eye."

"Congratulations, congratulations."

Now, cries of congratulations and praise were endless.

Long Chen slightly frowned but did not undermine Ye He’s face over the matter.

Because he was giving face to Ye Zhiqiu and Murong Xiu.

After the banquet ended, Long Chen and the Ye Family stood together, and the atmosphere became a bit awkward for a time.

Ye He tried to speak several times but stopped himself.

Unable to bear it, Murong Xiu said, "No matter what, we need to have a talk and lay everything out on the table.

Just now, in front of so many guests, Chen Feng could have directly contradicted, but he did not, leaving the old master’s dignity intact. His impeccable conduct showed great magnanimity, and for this reason alone, we are no match for Chen Feng. We owe Chen Feng an apology."

"You’re right; it was my short-sightedness as an old man. I should apologize."

Ye He said gravely.

"That’s not necessary at all," Long Chen replied. "Old master, we all know what’s in our hearts, so there’s no need for further words. A superficial apology is even less necessary. After all, you are Zhiqiu’s relatives, not Prince Yan.

If it were Prince Yan, I would have plenty of ways to deal with him, but this is unnecessary for you all. Whatever mistakes there have been in the past, they are past, and we don’t need to bring them up again. I only hope that in the future, we can live in harmony. That would be best.

If we can’t live in harmony, well, we will cross that bridge when we come to it."

"Chen Feng, there’s no denying that you are incredibly impressive, but no matter how impressive you are, you’re still my sister’s boyfriend. Grandfather may have said or done wrong things in the past, but you shouldn’t have this attitude."

Ye Zhen immediately said.

Slap.

Murong Xiu slapped Ye Zhen across the face with the back of her hand, scolding, "You have no right to speak here, and your sister’s husband is not someone you can criticize. Listen up, kid; if you want to thrive in Great Xia, let me be clear, without your brother-in-law, you have no hope in this lifetime.

And don’t you dare feel aggrieved. You could try your hardest for a thousand years and still not catch up to your brother-in-law’s pace. Because men like him come once in a millennium, and that’s no exaggeration."

Her words were a lesson for Ye Zhen and also hefty praise for Long Chen.

Even though Murong Xiu was usually harsh, it was precisely because such a harsh person praised him that Long Chen felt quite satisfied.

Having no intention to seriously fault the Ye Family, he immediately smiled and said, "To say I’m a once-in-a-millennium talent is an overstatement, but if Ye Zhen needs help in the future and thinks highly enough of me, I believe I would still be willing to lend a hand.

Of course, if he doesn’t think much of me, then forget I ever said anything."

"Ye Zhen, don’t you have thanks to give your brother-in-law?"

Ye Yuan, too, was excited, quickly nudging Ye Zhen.

He knew that receiving a promise from Long Chen, a transcendent being, was incredibly precious.
