23: Chapter 23 War God Xiao Ce... Without a paternity test, you're a human trafficker!
"Ding! Epic-level Child of Destiny discovered!"
The system's voice suddenly rang out.
Shen Yuan looked at Xiao Ce and remained silent for two seconds. "System, can I return my Eye of Destiny?"
I can handle low-level Children of Destiny even without knowing the plot!
But for a high-level Child of Destiny... I can't even see the plot yet!
"Ding! Once sold, no returns or exchanges!"
"No warranty, and no responsibility for subsequent psychological trauma!"
The system said calmly, "Of course, it can be upgraded!"
Shen Yuan smiled slightly. "How much for the upgrade?"
"Ding! Two hundred and ninety million!"
The system was incomparably calm.
Shen Yuan's smile shattered with a 'crack'.
He felt his mental state collapsing.
"System, where's your deep-discount clearance sale?"
Shen Yuan forced a smile again, grinning like a dog. "How about three hundred?"
"Ding! Get lost!"
"Alright then!"
Shen Yuan retracted his flowering smile and looked at Xiao Ce.
Xiao Ce turned to look at Shen Yuan, his whole body trembling, his eyes filled with urgency. "What you just said, is it all true? Yuanyuan, she..."
"Scumbag!"
"Pah!"
Shen Yuan said disdainfully, "Abandoning your wife and daughter, and then coming to cause trouble at my birthday banquet..."
Xiao Ce: "..."
The crowd: "..."
This guy is finished!
Daring to cause trouble at Young Master Shen's birthday banquet, he's definitely doomed.
Shen Yuan walked down while holding Shi Yuanyuan. "Come to find your daughter?"
"Yes!"
Xiao Ce looked at Shi Yuanyuan, his eyes full of tenderness.
"You still have the face?"
"You scumbag who pulls up his pants and refuses to take responsibility!"
Shen Yuan said disdainfully, "Shi Yuanyuan is my daughter now!"
"You..."
"She's my daughter!"
Xiao Ce said.
"You say she's yours, so she's yours?"
Shen Yuan squinted and directly argued, "Have you done a paternity test?"
"No!" Xiao Ce's momentum instantly weakened.
"If you haven't done it, then you're a human trafficker!"
"Also, why the hell did you come back?"
"Do you have transfer orders?"
"This is the crime of desertion!"
Shen Yuan raised his middle finger, relentless while he held the moral high ground!
"I have that!" Xiao Ce said hurriedly, pulling out a transfer order.
Shen Yuan: "..."
Fuck!
How do you actually have one?
Aren't the War Gods in novels all supposed to return secretly?
Why aren't you following the script?
How do you even have a transfer order?
Shen Yuan pinched the paper transfer order and flipped it over three times.
Very good, very reasonable, very legal!
The official seals were complete, the format was standard...
"Fine, impressive!"
Shen Yuan threw the transfer order back to Xiao Ce and took half a step back while holding Shi Yuanyuan. "But... Yuanyuan is my daughter!"
Xiao Ce: "..."
He watched his daughter timidly hiding in Shen Yuan's embrace, and his heart wrenched into a ball.
"Yuanyuan, I'm Daddy..."
Xiao Ce said.
"Are you really my daddy?"
Shi Yuanyuan said timidly.
Shen Yuan held up a finger. "Xiao Ce, I know your identity, and you can look up mine!"
"So, if you want your daughter..."
"One condition!"
Shen Yuan smiled slightly.
Xiao Ce squinted. "Even a hundred conditions are fine!"
"Oh, then beat me to death!"
Shen Yuan's tone was flat, as if he were saying he was going to eat later.
Xiao Ce: "What the hell!?"
Does beating you to death have anything to do with taking my daughter away?
Chu Yang covered his face.
I can see it now, this guy Shen Yuan is really looking for death!
From the very beginning, he wanted me to beat him to death!
"One word, you hitting or not?"
Shen Yuan asked.
Xiao Ce was helpless. "If you did something to betray the country, I would definitely kill you, but now..."
"Boring!"
Shen Yuan waved his hand, looking disappointed.
I just want to go back and be a Homelander, why is it so hard?
"Those are the people from the Shi Family!"
Shen Yuan yawned and pointed at the two from the Shi Zhichuan duo. "Bullying your wife, abusing your daughter..."
Xiao Ce gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with a chilling killing intent. "The Shi Family, what a Shi Family!"
"Do me a favor..."
Shen Yuan said, "Take down Chen Erhe of the Chen Family while you're at it. I'll have Uncle Gou pull the strings!"
Uncle Gou: "????"
I've already started setting the layout, old man that I am. If you had just said so earlier, I wouldn't have had to do it myself!
"Fine, no problem!"
Xiao Ce nodded solemnly.
Shen Yuan walked down and handed Shi Yuanyuan to Xiao Ce. "Yuanyuan, be good, this is your biological father!"
Shi Yuanyuan's little eyes lit up.
Xiao Ce's gaze became tender as he pulled Shi Yuanyuan into an embrace. "Yuanyuan, I'm Daddy!"
Shi Yuanyuan tilted her little head, hesitated for a moment, then slowly reached out her small hands to hug Xiao Ce's neck.
Xiao Ce's gaze became incredibly tender as he carefully held Shi Yuanyuan, afraid of hurting her.
His voice carried a sob. "Yuanyuan, I'm sorry. Daddy came late. From now on, Daddy will never leave you and Mommy again."
Shen Yuan shrugged; he really hated these kinds of melodramas.
He strolled over and stood before Shi Zhichuan. "I heard that you're in charge of the Shi Family now?"
Shi Zhichuan's legs went weak with fear, and he almost collapsed on the ground. "Young Master Shen, I... I'm just temporarily looking after family matters. I don't have the final say, I don't..."
"Tsk tsk tsk, abusing your niece, bullying your sister..."
"I don't care about that!"
"But..."
"Yuanyuan is also a member of the Shi Family!"
Shen Yuan's mouth curled into a smirk. "Her mother... cough, her mother is also a member of the Shi Family!"
Xiao Ce suddenly looked up. In a daze, he seemed to see that Idiot!
How is this smile of his so familiar?
"Half of the family assets!"
Shen Yuan held up a finger. "As compensation for Yuanyuan and Shi Zhihan, what do you think?"
Shi Zhichuan's face turned green.
"Half the family assets? Young Master Shen, that's way too much!"
Shi Zhichuan said cautiously.
Shen Yuan tilted his head. "Fine then... Uncle Gou, spare no expense, target the Shi Family!"
"Among those present, who is willing to take a piece of the pie?"
"How about we carve up the Shi Family together?"
Shen Yuan sat back with an overbearing posture!
With a 'whoosh', Chu Yang shifted his position and pulled over a chair.
Shen Yuan sat down steadily.
"Yang Zi, not bad!"
"After we go back, I'll beat you a few more times!"
Shen Yuan said happily.
Chu Yang's brow twitched. I'm fucking asking for it.
He looked at Xiao Ce.
This guy should be joining in too, right?
After all...
Who the hell would have thought that this Idiot Yuan Zi has a system and yet doesn't fucking hide it?
Is this a joke?
If it were me, I would secretly kill myself!
Guaranteed to exchange for villain points properly.
After all, I've just started cultivating, so I'm not good enough yet...
Give me some knockout drops and then blow my head off with a gun...
Chu Yang: "..."
Oh no, Old Shen couldn't really be thinking that right now, could he?
The eyes of everyone present lit up.
What!?
The Eldest Young Master of the Shen Family is taking the initiative to lead us in taking down the Shi Family?
Simultaneously, everyone's eyes flared with excitement.
Young Master Shen, go for it, destroy the Shi Family!
You eat the meat, we'll drink the soup!
Shi Zhichuan was so scared his face turned bloodless. "I'll give it, I'll give it!"
His shout cracked. "I'll go back right now and release Shi Zhihan and hand over the assets!"
Cut off an arm to survive...
Otherwise, my Shi Family will be annihilated.
Shen Yuan smiled slightly and looked at Xiao Ce.
Looking at Shen Yuan's gaze, Xiao Ce fell into deep thought.
Big brother, just speak up!
I can't understand the meaning of your gaze!
Besides, we're both grown men, so let's not do this whole 'soul-connecting' thing, okay?
I'm straight, I'm straight!
