Chapter 582: Fiancée (3)
“Tamers’ Magic Beasts are just mounts. Did you see that clearly” Yun Feng had a smile on her face. The young man nodded fiercely, and Yun Feng’s eyes suddenly became cold. “I hope your Body-Tempering Origin Eluid is real too.”
The young man became anxious. “Don’t worry about that. I don’t have the guts to lie to a summoner.”
Yun Feng nodded in satisfaction. Looking at the young man’s swollen face, she couldn’t bear to see it. Qu Lanyi saw through Yun Feng’s mind. The light elements immediately enveloped the young man’s body slowly. After a while, his swollen face completely disappeared and his facial features were
revealed.
“A light element mage!” The young man felt that his body was free of all pain in an instant and he suddenly jumped up from the ground. Yan Che curled his lips, unimpressed. “Humph! What’s so great about light elements?”
Yun Feng looked at the young man. “Alright, tell me. How can I help you?”
The young man’s expression suddenly became cold and gloomy. His face was covered with a huge dark cloud and his facial features were even slightly distorted. He clenched his hands into fists and hung them by his sides. The veins on the back of his hands also bulged one by one.
“Help me take the position of my family’s leadership!” The young man’s deep voice came. Yun Feng chuckled with a hint of coldness at the corners of her lips. “You’re quite greedy.”
The young man chuckled with a hint of helplessness in his laughter. “I have to do that. In order to survive and to not let others step on me, I have to drag the others down and reach the position where nobody can bully me!”
“Do you want me to get rid of all the obstacles for you?” Yun Feng asked casually. The young man’s body trembled slightly and he finally shook his head. “No, I want to sit in that position openly! I want everyone to see that I’m qualified!”
“Then, what do you want me to help you with?” Yun Feng chuckled and asked. The young man raised his head with a scorching light in his eyes. “Be my fiancée!”
“What?” Qu Lanyi suddenly shouted with coldness flashing through his black eyes. Yan Che was also stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter. Yun Feng was shocked by what the young man said too.
“Fiancée…” Yun Feng repeated. The young man nodded. “Don’t worry. This is just a pretense. It’s only temporary! I only need a summoner as my fiancée. As long as I become the leader, our relationship will automatically be canceled!”
Qu Lanyi’s face immediately darkened. He stepped forward and grabbed the young man’s collar with one hand. “Kid, say that again?”
The young man was lifted up by Qu Lanyi, but there wasn’t any fear on his face. “This is a last resort. If she were a man, I would’ve had to think of another way.”
“Pfft… Hahaha, hahaha!” Yan Che finally couldn’t help but laugh on the side. He had already known about the special relationship between Qu Lanyi and Yun Feng. It was truly a bit funny that such a scene suddenly appeared right now.
“The one who is qualified to become the head of the family is the one who can bring the greatest benefits to the family. This is something that has never changed,” said the young man calmly. That was indeed the case. For Yun Feng, even though Yun Jing was the head of the Yun family, the backbone of
the Yun family right now was Yun Feng. It was Yun Feng who made the Yun family what it was today.
“You’re absolutely right…” Yan Che finally stopped laughing and nodded in agreement. Qu Lanyi stood there with a sullen face. He knew that he was right.
“If I want to be the leader, I must bring the greatest benefit to the family. What’s a greater benefit than a summoner fiancée?” Speaking of this, the corners of the young man’s mouth curled up into a complacent smile. “I want those people to grovel. I want those people to regret doing that to me!”
After saying that, the young man raised his head and looked at Qu Lanyi. “The title of fiancée is fake. I promise. I know myself. I won’t overestimate myself.”
Qu Lanyi’s lips moved slightly, and then he suddenly threw a punch. The man’s cheek, which had just recovered thanks to the light elements, was hit again. The young man fell on the ground in a sorry state, holding his other cheek, but didn’t say anything.
“If you dare to do anything to her, don’t blame me for being rude!” said Qu Lanyi condescendingly. The young man nodded. Yun Feng watched with a smile in her eyes. She knew that Qu Lanyi compromised because he knew she wanted that bottle of Body-Tempering Source Fluid very much. Yun Feng felt
very comforted.
“Don’t worry about that. I’ve always known what I want.” The young man touched his cheek and stood up. The corners of his mouth curled up and a self-mocking smile appeared again. “I am Yan Ming, a bastard son of the Yan family, the largest family in Yuanshui City.”
Yun Feng was startled. A bastard child? No wonder he was bullied like this. No wonder he was so determined to take the position of the family head. In this world, illegitimate children weren’t recognized and it was even impossible for them to be written in the family register. It didn’t matter if he was the
child of a concubine, but he couldn’t be an illegitimate child. An illegitimate child was destined to be stepped on by others forever and couldn’t rise again.
“Tam Yun Feng.” Yun Feng reported her name casually. Yan Ming smiled. “You shouldn’t have been so calm after knowing that I’m an illegitimate son.”
Yun Feng chuckled. “People can’t choose their birth, but they can choose their future. You’re an illegitimate child. What does that have to do with you?”
Yan Ming was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter. Qu Lanyi frowned, while Yan Che nodded. “You’re absolutely right. You can’t decide where you’re born, but you can decide who you’re going to be.”
“You’re all my friends right now. Let’s go.” Yan Ming’s face was still slightly swollen. His clothes were also very tattered, but his dispirited look just then was replaced with a halo of brilliance. Yun Feng saw this. Once this man was given some help, it was really hard to tell how high he could climb.
She followed Yan Ming into Yuanshui City. There were also a lot of residents in this city and the streets were also very noisy. When Yun Feng entered the city gate of Yuanshui City, she knew that this man’s counterattack had already begun…
