567: Duan Fei apologizes!

“Tell me, what do you mean by ‘poisonous novel’?” Chen Xuan frowned.

“Ding, in the novel world, there are eunuch novels, so naturally, there are also poisonous novels!”

“How come I can’t enter good novels? So, you mean, the personalities and temperaments of these protagonists, and their treatment of the female lead…!!”

“Wait, this poisonous novel’s plot, it wouldn’t be about giving away girls, would it? Commonly known as a ‘girl-giving novel’? If that’s the case, hehehe!”

“Ding, the host is requested to trigger the plot personally. The System will only notify when changes occur.”

“…”

“How boring, get lost!” Chen Xuan said, then looked towards Yu Guili.

However, while he was talking to the System, for some unknown reason, Yu Guili and Duan Fei had said something, and now, the two of them had come together in front of Chen Xuan and Yun Ziling.

“Chen Xuan, kneel and apologize to me! I might consider not beating you up!” From afar, Duan Fei’s arrogant voice could be heard.

Upon seeing this, Chen Xuan patted the small, exquisite backside of the person beside him. (See if there are any class representatives)

Yun Ziling instantly turned red, then shyly stood in front of Chen Xuan.

“Duan Fei, you, what nonsense are you spouting! Do you know what you’re doing! How can you still be so stubborn now? Apologize to Young Master Chen Xuan immediately!”

“Ling’er! Why won’t you believe me! I’ve already said…”

“Shut up! I’m giving you one last chance. If you don’t apologize to Young Master Chen Xuan, we’ll… we’ll divorce!” Yun Ziling’s tone was firm, and at the same time, her eyes held a hint of anticipation.

She hoped Duan Fei would make a move, so she could truly divorce Duan Fei, and then…

Thinking of this, Yun Ziling shyly glanced at Chen Xuan.

‘He just patted me, so he must… he must be interested in me! As long as I regain my freedom, and then tell Chen Xuan… Gege, I have never had contact with any male other than him…’

Here, upon hearing Yun Ziling’s resolute words of “divorce,” a trace of panic instantly flashed across Duan Fei’s Face.

He subconsciously wanted to reach out and pull Yun Ziling, but she dodged him, which struck him like a bolt of lightning.

“Ling’er, don’t… don’t be impulsive, I was wrong,” Duan Fei said with a trembling voice, his hands hanging limply at his sides.

Immediately after, he slowly raised his right hand and, with a loud “slap,” heavily slapped himself across the Face. The slap was so forceful that it instantly left a bright red handprint on his Face.

“I shouldn’t have been impulsive, I shouldn’t have caused trouble at the banquet, and I certainly shouldn’t have been disrespectful to Chen Xuan.”

As Duan Fei spoke, he continued to slap himself several more times, each blow merciless. Soon, his cheeks rapidly swelled and turned red, and to make it look even more realistic, he even forced a trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth.

‘Hmm, I can sacrifice my Face for my wife, I can give up everything. I am definitely the most perfect good man in this world! Surely, my wife must have a different opinion of me now, right?’ Duan Fei thought, feeling moved by his own actions as he continued to slap himself.

Yun Ziling stood beside Chen Xuan, arms crossed over her chest, watching Duan Fei continuously hit himself. A hint of disgust flashed in her eyes, and at the same time, she secretly mocked Duan Fei’s cowardice.

As for Yu Guili, his Face was ashen. He never imagined that Duan Fei, the dignified Dragon King, would be so “vulnerable,” completely giving in after a few threats from a woman, which only made Chen Xuan’s arrogance even more rampant.

He had originally intended to use this to put Chen Xuan in his place, but he didn’t expect to backfire now.

“Enough!” Yun Ziling looked at Duan Fei’s disheveled appearance and felt a bit embarrassed, after all, they were husband and wife, and she didn’t want the Yun Family to lose Face.

“You can get up now. I hope you remember today’s lesson.”

Duan Fei felt as if he had received a great pardon and quickly scrambled up from the ground, not even looking at Yu Guili, and looked at Yun Ziling with a fawning expression.

But Yun Ziling looked at Chen Xuan, seemingly asking for Chen Xuan’s opinion, a scene that directly caused Duan Fei’s Luck to become unstable.

“Ding, congratulations to the Host for successfully making Luck Son Duan Fei suffer and unable to retaliate. Reward: Heaven's Mandate Value 100,000, Vermilion Fruit * 100, Lottery Chances * 100!”

“Hmph, regarding today’s matter, out of respect for Miss Yun, I will not pursue it further,” Chen Xuan said coldly.

“But if there’s a next time, I won’t let you off so easily.”

Upon seeing this, Duan Fei clenched his fists but did not retort.

Just as the incident was about to conclude, Ning Xinyou’s figure appeared at the scene.

At this moment, she looked at the people present, her expression showing a mix of helplessness and fatigue.

This banquet was meticulously prepared by the Ning for Yu Guili, but now it had descended into chaos due to this sudden farce.

She looked at Yu Guili, her tone carrying a hint of reproach:

“Guili Gege, how could you be so… muddled about what’s important? Look at the Immortal King’s pressure above, it’s almost materialized. No one here dares to move, and you’re not dealing with this, instead, you’re just watching…”

“Don’t worry, Xinyou, I’ve already resolved the Immortal King’s pressure above. It should dissipate in a little while.”

Ning Xinyou heard this and did not refute Yu Guili, but instead looked at Duan Fei, frowning slightly: “I hope so!”

“And you, Chen Xuan, this is my Ning’s banquet after all. Although you resolved the dispute, your actions were too ostentatious.” Ning Xinyou said, then turned her attention to Chen Xuan.

But at this moment, Chen Xuan still wore that indifferent smile on his Face: “Young Miss Ning, Duan Fei was the one who provoked others first. I merely stepped in to maintain order at the banquet. If there was anything inappropriate, I hope Young Miss Ning will forgive me.”

Ning Xinyou frowned upon hearing this. She knew that what Chen Xuan said was not entirely unreasonable, but due to Yu Guili having now affirmed Duan Fei’s identity, if she were to refute or question him now, it might cause her beloved to lose Face.

Even now, she still didn’t believe Duan Fei’s true identity.

Finally, after a moment of thought, she turned to the surrounding guests and said:

“Today’s events have caused much disturbance. I hope all honored guests will not take it to heart. The Ning will handle it properly and will surely give everyone a satisfactory explanation. As for the Immortal King’s pressure above… please wait a moment!”
