Dragon King Palace: Urban Affluent Son-in-Law

As Situ Yan parked the car outside the apartment, Jiang Feng finally returned to the long-lost doorstep of his home.

Looking at this quiet little apartment, Jiang Feng felt as if it had been a lifetime; it was both warm and precious.

In his past life, after traversing the Cultivation Worlds, he returned to Earth several times, back to this place, but then the house no longer had its mistress, it was pitch black, desolate and bleak.

This home was a small nest he and Nangong Qingcheng shared, after Nangong Honghu personally arranged their engagement, they moved in here not long after.

But Jiang Feng used to think that Nangong Qingcheng ignored him everywhere, drew a clear line with him, and didn't recognize him as her husband from the bottom of her heart. So even though living under the same roof with Nangong Qingcheng, he never took the initiative to warm up to her.

A very apt description of their way of interaction would be "familiar strangers", with basically no intersection in life, occasionally going out together only when they went to the Old Man's place for dinner.

But Jiang Feng never expected that after he was brutally murdered in the past life and his body discarded in a desolate mountain, Nangong Qingcheng, who should have been freed, chose not to marry anyone else, but remained chaste for him until death!

No one collected his body or built a tombstone for him, it was she who erected a tomb for him, with only a photo of him buried inside!

Every year during Qingming and Double Ninth, she would go alone to his tombstone, pay her respects, and sweep the grave.

As it turns out, she had accepted her fate from the beginning and acknowledged being his wife, only because he was too disappointing back then, too modest and depressed, often drinking to drown his sorrows and smoking excessively, that she was continuously let down, and hid all her feelings inside, treating him like a stranger!

In six hundred years, Jiang Feng had many soulmates in the Cultivation Worlds, but upon discovering these truths, not a single woman moved him as profoundly as Nangong Qingcheng!

In light of this, Jiang Feng could never let this life's Nangong Qingcheng suffer at the hands of others again, to die with grievances unavenged. He would stay by her side, protect her, until he personally vanquished the murderer with the green ring, eradicating the scourge forever!

...

"Is this your home? Your fiancée is inside?"

While Jiang Feng was gazing at the small apartment with endless emotions, Situ Yan also examined this house, snorting coldly and asking.

She was "forced" to send Jiang Feng back, but now that she was really here, she truly wanted to see what the girl, rumored to be the future number one beauty of Binhai City, looked like, and what ill fate she had to become the fiancée of someone like Jiang Feng.

"You can leave now, we shall probably never meet again." Jiang Feng unbuckled his seatbelt and was about to get out.

"Jiang Feng, you don't think our accounts for tonight are settled, right? Let me tell you, it's not that simple, I'm not someone who lets things go easily." Situ Yan said unhappily.

She had suffered such a big loss at Jiang Feng's hands, and had been "enslaved" by him to drive him around for free, she would hardly let Jiang Feng off easily with such irritation in her heart.

"What do you want?" Jiang Feng frowned at her words, turning to ask.

"Don't worry, I won't affect your normal life, but I'm really curious, if your fiancée finds out you've been hiding your true strength, and the useless image you've been showing her was a lie, I wonder what she would think..."

Jiang Feng's face darkened instantly!

For him, whatever thoughts of "revenge" Situ Yan may have out of her outrage towards him were trivial, but if she dared to target Nangong Qingcheng, he would not spare her!

"I warn you, don't get any ideas about Nangong Qingcheng, or you will regret it!" Jiang Feng's face became unusually stern and cold!

Everyone has a reverse scale, Nangong Qingcheng was his reverse scale, and he would not allow anyone to provoke it!

Situ Yan was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Jiang Feng to flip just like that, she had only said it casually, without any real intention, why did he suddenly become so ruthlessly cold, as if he wanted to devour her?

Unreasonably, a strong sense of indignation and grievance rose in Situ Yan's heart!

At this moment, future mother-in-law Wu Peixia and Nangong Qingcheng walked out from the house together.

Wu Peixia immediately saw Jiang Feng in the car and asked in confusion: "What's going on, isn't that Jiang Feng? How come he came back in a woman's car?"

It's well known to Wu Peixia that as a useless man, Jiang Feng didn't own a car, and since Situ Yan was sending him for personal reasons and not driving a company official vehicle, she used her own Jeep Wrangler, naturally arousing Wu Peixia's suspicion.

Nangong Qingcheng also looked towards Jiang Feng in the car with puzzlement, hadn't he told her that he was going out to buy cigarettes? After separating at grandfather's old house, he had been delayed for so long, and it turned out to be with another woman?

And when Jiang Feng saw his mother-in-law and Nangong Qingcheng outside the car, he ignored the irritated and frustrated Situ Yan, opened the car door, and got out.

He knew that there was only one reason for future mother-in-law Wu Peixia to show up in this house, and that was to sow discord between Nangong Qingcheng and him, persuading her to give up on him. Jiang Feng was already well aware of this.

If it were the Jiang Feng from his past life, he wouldn't be angry, because he and Nangong Qingcheng indeed had no feelings, nor did he know about Nangong Qingcheng's affections for him.

But in this life, if Wu Peixia dared to entertain such thoughts again, Jiang Feng would not let her go!

"Jiang Feng, get over here, explain to me, what on earth is going on here?" Wu Peixia glared at Jiang Feng with a cold gaze, speaking in a hostile tone.

Jiang Feng walked over expressionlessly, and Wu Peixia continued to point overbearingly at Situ Yan in the car, "Who is she? Explain it to me clearly!"

Although Wu Peixia despised Jiang Feng from the bottom of her heart and believed he wasn't worthy of her daughter, in the circumstances where the engagement wasn't dissolved, Jiang Feng daring to mix with other women was intolerable to her!

Not only would it sully her daughter's reputation, but it would also make the entire Nangong Family a laughingstock!

At this moment, Situ Yan in the car also saw the tiger-like Wu Peixia, was this Jiang Feng's mother-in-law? She seemed fierce!

However, Wu Peixia couldn't help but be impressed by the stunning appearance of Nangong Qingcheng beside her. Even as a top beauty herself, Situ Yan was still shocked by Nangong Qingcheng's beauty!

"Friend." Jiang Feng said calmly, taking a step closer.

"Friend? Who would believe that? Someone like you with friends? Why haven't we seen them before? And what were you two doing in the car just now, whispering sweet nothings?"

Wu Peixia's sharp eyes had seen how close Jiang Feng and Situ Yan were in the car, using the excuse of being "friends" was laughable!

"Mom, stop talking, it's so late, please go home first." Nangong Qingcheng also saw Jiang Feng "whispering" with Situ Yan in the car. She felt a deep disappointment, but this was a family shame, not to be spread. She didn't want her mother to keep yelling here, as it would be even more embarrassing.

"What? At this point, you still want to protect him, and drive me away?" Wu Peixia glared at Nangong Qingcheng with a look of disappointment: "Are you beyond salvation? Didn't you see what he was doing in the car with that wild woman? Are your eyes failing you?"

"Who are you calling a wild woman?" At this point, Situ Yan, who was planning to leave, felt displeased when she heard this, she opened the car door and jumped down angrily!
