Chapter 2: Publicly Breaking Off the Engagement at the Engagement Banquet

At this moment, Xia Feng's Family had already arrived at Xingyu Grand Restaurant.

Today was the engagement banquet for Xia Feng and Miss Liu. Relatives and friends from both sides, as well as the noble powerhouses of the entire Xingyu City, were all present.

However, the atmosphere felt a little strange.

Xia Feng was the Young City Lord of Xingyu City, with a noble status. Miss Liu was a Heaven's Chosen of Xingyu City. The two should have been a perfect match.

However, Xia Feng was now sixteen years old, yet he still hadn't been able to generate inner force, remaining at the martial Disciple Realm.

As for Miss Liu, she was only fifteen years old now, but she was already a Xuan Realm Ninth Level Martial Warrior, the number one Heaven's Chosen in Xingyu City. The gap between the two was growing larger and larger.

This marriage was destined not to receive everyone's blessings.

However, Xia Feng was still the Young City Lord after all, so no one dared to say anything mocking to his face.

Shortly after Xia Feng and others arrived, the Liu Family also arrived at the restaurant, along with an arrogant stranger.

Xia Father enthusiastically went up to greet them, and Liu Father also chatted spiritedly with Xia Father, showing no sign of abnormality.

Miss Liu's appearance was also good, but her face was a bit cold.

She glanced at Xia Feng, walked onto the stage that was originally set up for entertainment, and said indifferently, "All dear friends and Family, I am very sorry, but today's engagement banquet is canceled. Xia Feng and I are incompatible. I believe he will find a better girl than me in the future."

The scene immediately fell silent.

Was this... breaking off the engagement?

Xia Feng's face darkened. Being jilted was already within his expectations.

But he never expected the other party to be so heartless, breaking off the engagement publicly at the engagement banquet. Where would the Xia Family put their face?

Xia Father's face also changed drastically. He looked at Liu Father and said, "Liu Tianxiang, is this your intention?"

Liu Tianxiang smiled and said, "Xia, this is Xiao Yu's intention, but I respect her choice."

Xia Father said angrily, "Liu Tianxiang, back then, in order to save you, my Dantian was damaged, and my strength stagnated. Is this how you repay me?"

Breaking off the engagement was understandable; he was actually prepared for it.

But not breaking off the engagement for so long, and choosing to do so specifically on the day of the engagement banquet, was clearly intentional to humiliate Little Feng and the Xia Family.

Liu Tianxiang still said with a smile, "Xia, I will never forget your life-saving grace. But you also know Xiao Feng's Aptitude; he is now sixteen years old and still stuck in the martial Disciple stage. And Xiao Yu's future is not something this Xingyu City can contain. I cannot sacrifice Xiao Yu's entire life for the sake of repaying your life-saving grace. Xia, as a Father, you should understand my feelings."

"Since that's the case, when we went to the Liu Family and asked you to break off the engagement yourselves, why did you refuse?" Xia Father was furious.

Liu Tianxiang sighed and said, "At that time, I also held a glimmer of hope, hoping that Xiao Feng might have a fortuitous encounter and eventually become a Martial Warrior. As long as he could become a Martial Warrior, coupled with the identity of the Young City Lord of Xingyu City, it would be barely acceptable. It's just a pity that Xiao Feng was too disappointing."

"You!"

Xia Father clenched his fists, filled with anger.

He spoke nicely, but it was clearly intentional to wait until today to break off the engagement, to humiliate Xia Feng and the Xia Family.

Xia Feng stared at Miss Liu on the stage, his face grim, his fists clenched.

Xia Mother came to his side and comforted him, "Xiao Feng, are you alright?"

She was worried that her son couldn't handle the blow. Even though she was angry, she immediately came to comfort her son.

Little Feng shook his head and said, "Mother, I'm fine. I'm just sorry that you and Father have to endure this humiliation with me."

Xia Mother smiled and said, "Your Father and I have seen everything. If the marriage is broken off, so be it. With my Xiao Feng's looks, he won't have trouble finding a wife."

"What's the use of being handsome?"

Coming down from the stage, Liu Shiyu, who was passing by, heard this and said indifferently, then left without stopping.

Xia Mother's face darkened.

"Liu Shiyu!"

Xia Feng said in a deep voice.

Liu Shiyu turned back and smiled, "You don't really think that being handsome means girls will fall all over you, do you? This is a world that values strength."

"Is that so?"

Xia Feng's face was grim, then he smiled slightly and said, "Two or three years ago, when you were following me around every day, calling me Brother Feng, Brother Feng, you didn't say that. You said I was the wind, and you were the rain, sailing through wind and rain together, a match made in heaven; you even said you were willing to be my little maid, serving me for a lifetime. Wasn't it my looks you valued at that time? The thought of the Heaven's Chosen of Xingyu City acting like aLicking dog in front of me makes me inexplicably happy."

"You shut up."

Liu Shiyu shouted angrily, her face gloomy.

Liu Father and Liu Mother's faces also looked bad. Saying these things in front of so many people was intentionally making their Liu Family look bad.

Liu Shiyu said coldly, "Xia Feng, I have broken through and am now an Earth Rank First Level Martial Warrior, taken as a Disciple by the Cloud Mountain Sect First Elder. The gap between you and me has completely widened."

"Hiss! Yunshan Sect? That's a mid-grade Sect. The Sect Leader is a Martial Venerable, and the Grand Elder is also a Sky Rank Ninth Level Martial Grandmaster. I never expected Liu Shiyu to join the Yunshan Sect and even be taken as a Disciple by the Cloud Mountain Sect First Elder. This Liu Family is going to become the number one Family in Xingyu City from now on."

"With the help of the Yunshan Sect, they will not only be the number one Family in Xingyu City, but there won't be a single Family in the nearby dozens of cities that can compare to them."

"Liu Shiyu has joined the Yunshan Sect; she and Xia Feng are indeed people from two different worlds."

The guests discussed amongst themselves, shocked, with envy for the Liu Family in their words.

Xia Feng suddenly understood. His face immediately darkened. The other party intentionally broke off the engagement at this engagement banquet today to showcase Liu Shiyu's achievements in front of all the noble powerhouses in Xingyu City.

At the same time, it was also to tell everyone in Xingyu City that their Liu Family was about to rise strongly. After today, the City Lord's Mansion would likely be isolated.

What a Liu Shiyu, what a Liu Family.

"Xiao Yu, let's go after you've finished speaking. Why waste so many words on a good-for-nothing?"

The strange man who had been standing in the Liu Family's group without speaking, said coldly.

"Yes, Master."

Liu Shiyu said respectfully.

Master?

He is the Cloud Mountain Sect First Elder, a Sky Rank Ninth Level Martial Grandmaster?

Everyone turned their heads in unison to look at the strange man, their eyes filled with awe.

Some Low Grade Sects don't even have Sky Rank Ninth Level Martial Grandmaster powerhouses, and the strongest in Xingyu City, the City Lord and the three great Family heads, are only Sky Rank Martial Kings. The gap is too big.

"Good-for-nothing, just be your Young City Lord of Xingyu City properly. Don't think about Xiao Yu anymore." The Cloud Mountain Sect First Elder glanced at Xia Feng and said indifferently.

Good-for-nothing!

Xia Feng suddenly clenched his fists, a surge of anger rising in his heart, but he still forcibly suppressed it.

The other party was a Sky Rank Ninth Level Martial Grandmaster. If he angered the other party, it wouldn't matter if he died, but the entire Xia Family would be annihilated.

He wasn't a child; an adult Soul resided in his body. He could endure this anger.

"Who is so bold as to dare to insult my Husband like this?"

Just then, an angry voice echoed in the restaurant.

Chapter 3: Kneel Down and Apologize to My Husband

Everyone looked towards the sound, and saw a woman with a proud bust, a slender waist, a tall figure, and peerless beauty, wearing a black tight-fitting outfit, a scarf woven from fox fur, and walking slowly with a catlike gait.

She had a perky nose, rosy lips, fair skin, and a standard oval face. Coupled with those beautiful eyes that seemed to always carry a seductive effect, she was simply a tempting vixen.

However, at this moment, the "vixen's" beautiful face was as cold as ice, and her seductive eyes were filled with endless anger.

As she walked slowly, a powerful Aura spread out, making the surrounding people feel a little difficulty breathing.

Husband?

Who is her Husband?

Insult?

Could it be...

Everyone recalled the woman's words, and their eyes instantly fell on Xia Feng.

Before the woman appeared, only the Cloud Mountain Sect First Elder was insulting Little Feng.

Xia Mother asked in a low voice, "Xiao Feng, when did you get such a beautiful wife? I, your Mother, didn't even know."

"Mother, I don't know either."

Xia Feng was also a bit confused. It would be great to have such a beautiful woman as a wife, but the problem was that he didn't know her at all.

"Who are you, and from which Sect are you?"

The Cloud Mountain Sect First Elder slowly took a step forward, blocking the pressure for the Liu Family members, and looked at the woman, asking in a deep voice.

"Were you the one who insulted my Husband?" The woman stood in front of the Cloud Mountain Sect First Elder and said coldly.

At this moment, Liu Shiyu stepped out from behind the Cloud Mountain Sect First Elder and said, "Senior, may I ask who your Husband is?"

The woman turned her head to look at Xia Feng. A gentle and sweet smile suddenly appeared on her cold beautiful face, and the tenderness in her eyes seemed to melt everything.

"Husband, I'm late. After I help you vent your anger, you can punish me however you want."

Her sweet voice was simply enough to make one's bones go soft.

Holy crap!
