My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

"Bring it here."

In the grand hall, the patriarch of the Liang family gestured for his men to bring forth a brocade box containing some low-grade elixirs, spirit stones, and talismans.

He had been informed by the steward that this descendant of the Chen family seemed to have embarked on the path of cultivation.

However, at such a young age and hailing from a rural village, he couldn't possibly possess profound cultivation.

Anyway, he hadn't discerned any cultivation prowess in Chen Feng; he was likely just a novice who had recently started dabbling in cultivation!

Out of gratitude for the favors the Chen family had bestowed upon the Liang family, he deemed it benevolent to offer some resources useful for low-level cultivators.

This gesture was a fulfillment of his obligation. Once these resources were given, this lowly cultivator would likely be overjoyed!

"What is your name?"

"Chen Feng, of the Chen family from the eastern ears, amidst the maple trees of Qingfeng Mountain," Chen Feng replied, lifting his chin proudly.

"A fine name. Have you ever strolled through the ancient town of Green Mountain?"

"I dare not delay important matters," Chen Feng responded.

"Heh heh," the patriarch of the Liang family chuckled politely, but upon hearing Chen Feng's final words, a cold smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth.

Sure enough!

This poor lad harbored ambitions to climb the lofty branches of the Liang family.

Not to mention that the Liang family now boasted a talented female sword cultivator who might ascend to the King Stage in the future, a far cry from their past.

Even in their former glory, the Liang family was a top-tier clan in Green Mountain Ancient Town.

Naturally, they couldn't marry off their cherished daughter to such a rural pauper.

"Chen Feng, since you have come directly with a marriage proposal and have made the matter known to everyone nearby, leaving no room for retreat for my Liang family... I won't beat around the bush."

"I'll tell you plainly, I will not marry my daughter to you!"

At these words, Chen Feng was taken aback, and the marriage proposal he was about to present froze in mid-air.

Have these people misunderstood something?

Did I ever say I came to propose marriage?

"Don't think that embarking on the path of cultivation gives you the audacity to entertain foolish dreams."

"Some individuals are beyond your reach for a lifetime."

"Some matters are beyond even your wildest dreams."

"The cultivation resources in this box are things you, as a wandering cultivator, would never come by in your lifetime."

The patriarch of the Liang family opened the brocade box, revealing the low-grade elixirs, spirit stones, and talismans inside.

Instantly, the Liang family's servants who couldn't cultivate all looked on with envy. For them, these items were indeed priceless treasures.

"Take these things, leave the marriage proposal, and go."

"This is for your own dignity and for the dignity of your deceased parents."

The patriarch of the Liang family stared coldly at Chen Feng.

He wanted to see how this rural pauper would react—would he feel aggrieved, angry, or swallow his pride?

However, he saw none of these; all he saw was a strange smirk on Chen Feng's face—not self-mockery, but more like mockery?!

"You've misunderstood!"

"Oh no, it's not you who misunderstood; it's me who misunderstood you."

Chen Feng corrected himself, shaking his head.

As his words fell, silence descended upon the scene.

Raising an eyebrow, the patriarch of the Liang family asked, "What nonsense are you talking about? What misunderstanding?"

He wasn't angry at Chen Feng's words; rather, he was concerned that this fellow was spouting inexplicable remarks here, which might cause misunderstandings with other nearby families.

He still intended to marry his daughter into a more prestigious family!

Chen Feng held up the marriage proposal and said softly, "Actually, I've come to withdraw from the marriage."

His words rang out loudly, commanding attention!

Withdraw from marriage?

Is a rural pauper coming to the Liang family of East Sea to voluntarily withdraw from marriage?

If one hadn't heard it with their own ears, nobody would believe it no matter who said it.

"Say it again?"

"I've come to withdraw from the marriage."

As Chen Feng repeated himself, the patriarch of the Liang family's expression grew grim.

Once again, the situation had taken an unexpected turn.

Regardless of the reason, as long as nobody knew about this matter, it would have been manageable.

But now that it had spread, he would not allow a rural pauper to come and withdraw from the marriage at his doorstep.

If there were to be a withdrawal, it would have to be initiated by the Liang family.

"If you refuse the toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, do you really think the gates of the Liang family are so easily opened?"

The patriarch of the Liang family's expression darkened.

Chen Feng glanced at him, lifted the marriage proposal in his hand, and tore it gently.

Crack!

The marriage proposal that he had carefully kept for over a decade was torn in half.

Originally, he had considered this matter a major issue because it was the marriage contract left to him by his parents before their passing.

He wanted to withdraw from the marriage without hurting the other party's pride. But now, there was no need to hold onto such sentiments.

These people were simply unworthy of fulfilling his parents' promise!

On the other hand, Prince Jingyang, who had no blood ties with him, treated him with respect, which truly befitted a person worthy of inheriting his parents' legacy!

"How dare you tear the marriage contract? How dare you!" The patriarch of the Liang family flushed with anger.

In front of everyone's eyes, Chen Feng tore the marriage contract. Perhaps within a day, the Liang family would become the laughingstock of the entire Green Mountain Ancient Town.

No, the laughingstock of all cultivation families in the East Sea. He couldn't let Chen Feng leave like this! The patriarch of the Liang family's eyes turned ruthless, and he harbored murderous intent.

At that moment, a delicate shout came from outside the hall.

"Where is Chen Feng? Come out!"

"Now that I am an honored disciple of the Flower Sect and will soon become a King Stage sword cultivator, I will never marry you!"

A woman walked into the hall, her head held high and immediately spotted the unremarkable Chen Feng among the crowd.

Three years ago, she learned about her engagement to a rural pauper. She secretly sought him out and set a three-year deadline.

If Chen Feng's cultivation surpassed hers within three years, she would agree to marry him. This was just her delaying tactic.

She was afraid that her family would really marry her off to a rural pauper, so she resorted to this strategy.

"Three years have passed, and you haven't made any progress at all."

"Give up, I will never marry you!"

"Heh heh... Very well."

Chen Feng nodded, then added, "You don't need to marry me because I've just divorced you!"

Divorced me? For a moment, Liang Qianhua didn't react, then she saw the torn marriage contract under Chen Feng's feet.

If Chen Feng had shamelessly come to propose marriage, she would have been annoyed at most and found a way to dismiss him.

But now, he didn't come to propose marriage; he came to withdraw from it. This was slapping her face! This was humiliating her!

"You divorced me? What kind of person are you!"

"A rural pauper dares to come here and insult me! If I don't kill you today, my name will never be cleared!"

"Go to hell!"

A flying sword appeared in Liang Qianhua's hand. She circulated her true qi and stabbed Chen Feng's heart without holding back.

Her anger stemmed from being provoked by an ant. An ant dared to try to get her and then dared to come and insult her! It would be best to crush him.

Chen Feng looked at her, his expression as calm as ever. Originally, according to the three-year agreement, he thought that if his cultivation surpassed hers, he would marry her.

But now, it was evident that she didn't take that agreement seriously. Facing the decision to withdraw from marriage, Chen Feng felt even more relieved.

He even regretted not withdrawing sooner, wasting his time practicing cultivation beside his seniors! Liang Qianhua, seeing him hesitate, felt angry and puzzled at the same time.

Was he preparing to die? Did this person come to humiliate me as an enemy of my Liang family?

"Break!"

Liang Qianhua, at the Innate Realm, shouted and attacked. She was also a renowned genius sword cultivator nearby.

Everyone in the room watched this scene intently. Even in the Liang family, such a scene was not easily witnessed.

Just when everyone thought Chen Feng was undoubtedly doomed, something unexpected happened. There was a clang. A pitted armor appeared on Chen Feng's body, shimmering brightly! Read the latest on My Virtual Library Empire
