158: Chapter 158 The Chu family is not one you can afford to offend.

Su Mingyue no longer wanted to pay attention to Ye Yun, that mangy dog. She walked to Chu Yuan's side, leaned into his embrace, and said with an adoring look:

"Chu Yuan is already my, Su Mingyue's, husband, and even more so, Xiao Ling's father."

"In this world, apart from Chu Yuan, there is no one else who can bring any happiness to us mother and daughter."

"As for what you said about using the rest of your life to protect us mother and daughter and make up for your so-called mistakes, I don't care for that either."

Chu Yuan had never expected that Su Mingyue, who was originally known for being quiet and shy, would actually say such affectionate yet heartless words in front of him and Ye Yun.

And Ye Yun, who was already heartbroken and devastated at this moment, how could he possibly withstand this round after round of critical hits?

Just as Su Mingyue said, in her eyes, the rest of Ye Yun's life could not compare to even a fraction of Chu Yuan.

Although Chu Yuan understood that the main reason Su Mingyue said these things was to make Ye Yun give up.

But at this moment, Ye Yun didn't think that much at all. He certainly wouldn't think that Su Mingyue was just putting on an act.

Chu Yuan, always happy to help, naturally wanted to give Su Mingyue a hand. He wrapped his arm around her waist again, stroked her hair, and comforted her with a deep, affectionate look.

"Mingyue, don't worry. Since Ye Yun has appeared here today, I will definitely seek justice for you two."

"I will make sure Ye Yun kneels before you and swears never to appear in your sight again in this lifetime. If not, I will make him pay the price."

Su Mingyue did not doubt what Chu Yuan said. It was as if any words spoken by Chu Yuan gave Su Mingyue an inexplicable sense of peace.

However, no matter what a jerk Ye Yun was, he was still Ye Xiaoling's biological father. Even if there were to be fighting or killing, she absolutely could not insult his biological father in front of Ye Xiaoling, nor did she want her daughter to face any of this.

Thinking of this, Su Mingyue shook her head and sighed: "We mother and daughter don't need his apology, nor do we need any promises from him."

While saying this, Su Mingyue turned her gaze to Ye Yun. "Ye Yun, get lost immediately, and don't come back."

Saying this, she ignored the mangy dog Ye Yun and looked at Chu Yuan with tenderness: "Husband, let's go back. Don't waste your mood because of a mangy dog."

Su Mingyue gently took Chu Yuan's arm and walked straight towards the villa. Chu Yuan had no intention of killing Ye Yun right then and there.

He glanced back at Ye Yun, who looked like a wilted eggplant and seemed to have lost all will to live, and let out a disdainful cold snort.

Just Su Mingyue and her daughter had almost played you to death. There were still many exciting things to come that would guarantee you would doubt your life. It was just unclear whether this fragile Protagonist could withstand the critical hits that were coming one after another.

"Godfather, Mom, why are you running so fast? Wait for me!" Seeing her godfather and mother returning to the villa, Ye Xiaoling glared fiercely at Ye Yun and quickly followed them.

His own woman was lying in another man's arms, and even his own biological daughter was following happily behind. That family of three looked so happy and fulfilled. And he, Ye Yun—all of this originally belonged to him, but now it had been ruthlessly cast aside.

Ye Yun collapsed to the ground, weak and limp, looking completely devastated. "Love is truly terrifying. The dignified master of the Underworld Palace, the mercenary king who shook the overseas territories—once tainted by this thing, he has actually been completely crippled."

Hidden in the shadows, Phoenix, who had seen the whole process clearly, looked at the dejected Ye Yun and found it truly pathetic. With no fighting spirit, like a defeated rooster, he was no different from a dead dog. It was hard to imagine that such a person was once the king who shook the mercenary world.

Since the other party had once saved her life, Phoenix decided to go and counsel him.

"Underworld Palace Master, you don't need to be too discouraged. Don't forget that you have an important matter to attend to upon returning to Shanghai."

"Those people who wiped out your Ye family are still waiting for you to deal with them, and the unjustly dead souls of the Ye family are still waiting for you to avenge them."

"Are you really going to give up on yourself completely and become a useless person just because of such a mere woman?"

Ye Yun, immersed in pain, suddenly heard these words and couldn't help but turn his head, staring fixedly at Phoenix. That was the woman whose life he had saved; he had even mocked her back then for being flat-chested.

"Underworld Palace Master, although you shake the foreign lands, and the Nether Palace enjoys a great reputation abroad and possesses extraordinary strength, the Shanghai Chu Family, where Chu Yuan resides, is not as simple as you imagine."

"Chu Yuan said he would make you pay the price. Don't think he was just joking with you or threatening you."

"To tell you the truth, if Chu Yuan wants to move against you, let alone my Dragon Group, even the Nether Palace behind you won't be able to protect you. The Dragon Kingdom will be your burial ground."

Looking at the man in front of her who was like a useless dead dog, Phoenix reminded him once again. "The power of the Shanghai Chu Family is not something we can provoke. Let alone us, even if the Nether Palace were to provoke him, they wouldn't have a good outcome."

"If Your Highness Underworld Palace Master insists on going your own way and intends to fight Chu Yuan to the end, then our Dragon Group will have to re-evaluate our cooperation with you."

Facing Phoenix's nervous reminder, Ye Yun gradually sobered up. His expression was very awkward, and he was even a bit puzzled.

"The Chu Family—which Chu Family exactly has such strength that even your Dragon Group has to look on with fear? Could it be..."

"Your Highness Underworld Palace Master has already guessed it, so I don't need to say much. Apart from the Shanghai Chu Family, there are not many forces that can make our Dragon Group fearful." Phoenix gave a bitter smile.

"What? It really is the Shanghai Chu Family." Ye Yun widened his eyes, unable to say a word for a long time.

Over these years abroad, he had not been completely unconcerned with affairs in the Dragon Kingdom. Especially recently, people from the Nether Palace had assassinated Chu Yuan, which gave Ye Yun a profound understanding of the Shanghai Chu Family. It was just that he hadn't connected the Chu Yuan he was preparing to crush with the Chu Yuan in front of him, and he hadn't expected that the Dragon Group would be so afraid of Chu Yuan.

As a mysterious organization guarding the Dragon Kingdom, there were not many forces in the entire Dragon Kingdom that could make the Dragon Group fearful. According to what Phoenix said, the Shanghai Chu Family was probably many times more powerful than he had imagined. Never mind that the main forces of the Nether Palace were all abroad; in the entire Dragon Kingdom, they didn't have much influence to speak of. Even if they had some foundation, they simply could not compete with the Shanghai Chu Family.
