393: Feng Yao is about to fall

Whether it was in terms of looks, temperament, or background, Xiao Chen was no match for Su Xuan.

He didn't even have room to fight back; only in terms of looks was the gap between them not that big.

But in Tianxuan Continent, strength makes right. What good is being handsome?

Even if you're handsome, it only matters if you're handsome enough to bend both men and women.

"Is that so? Then why did you marry him in the first place?"

Su Xuan followed Feng Yao's words.

"Back then, my father wanted me to marry someone I didn't like, so in a fit of pique, I used him as a shield!"

When she spoke of this matter, Feng Yao still felt somewhat guilty towards Xiao Chen.

Her feelings for Xiao Chen were complicated; on one hand, she felt she was wrong to use him as a shield.

On the other hand, she was very dissatisfied with Xiao Chen, feeling that he disgraced her, but out of guilt, she couldn't divorce him.

After all, given Xiao Chen's current state, if she were to divorce him, he would surely be beaten to death, right?

No matter what, Xiao Chen was dragged into this by her, so she had an obligation to protect him.

However, she would still hit him when he deserved it and scold him when he needed it.

"So that's how it is! I didn't expect there to be such a past between the two of you!"

Su Xuan glanced at Xiao Chen with interest.

Xiao Chen didn't look at Su Xuan, merely silently taking care of his own affairs.

Xiao Chen had almost finished cleaning up the things Feng Yao had just broken.

After tidying up, Xiao Chen stood respectfully beside Feng Yao.

His humble appearance made it seem as if Xiao Chen wasn't Feng Yao's husband, but her servant!

No, not even a servant would be like this; he should be called a slave!

Besides that, Su Xuan couldn't think of any other word to describe Xiao Chen's current state.

"I must say, I really admire Xiao Chen. To Breakthrough the Ancient Emperor Realm, he's willing to endure such torment!"

Su Xuan was somewhat impressed. Xiao Chen was the first Destined Protagonist he had somewhat admired since he came to Tianxuan Continent.

The previous Destined Protagonists all had aspects that made him look down on them, but this Xiao Chen guy was truly capable of enduring! To pursue the so-called power, he didn't hesitate to endure such torment.

He couldn't learn it, he really couldn't learn this kind of thing.

As a standard 'lying flat' youth, Su Xuan absolutely couldn't endure such torment.

"It's foolish to not use a cheat when you have one. Luckily, I have one!"

Su Xuan thought to himself.

"What are you standing there for? Young Master Su is my esteemed guest. Is this how you treat an esteemed guest?"

Seeing Xiao Chen like this, Feng Yao was inexplicably displeased. If she offended Su Xuan because of this, it would be a huge loss.

Hearing this, Xiao Chen hurriedly bowed respectfully to Su Xuan, as if Su Xuan were the master of this place.

"No, no, no, you don't have to! I'm just an ordinary person! No need for this!"

Su Xuan said with a smile.

Although he said this, Su Xuan greatly enjoyed Xiao Chen's current attitude towards him.

After all, this was the legendary Great Emperor, the Dragon King War God who once turned Tianxuan Continent upside down!

However, the current Dragon King War God was now merely a slave-like existence that he could bully at will!

Furthermore, he not only had to be bullied by him but also by Feng Yao. Perhaps in the future, it would be both of them bullying the pitiful Xiao Chen.

"I wonder what expression Feng Yao would have if she knew that the Xiao Chen in front of her was actually the legendary Dragon King War God!"

Su Xuan suddenly had a mischievous thought.

But there was no rush now; it wouldn't be too late to explain after he had dealt with Xiao Chen later.

"Young Master Su is joking! How could you be an ordinary person? You've helped our Feng family so much! Everyone in our Feng family is incredibly grateful to you now!"

"Even my father highly praises you. Thanks to Young Master Su's intervention, otherwise, our Feng family might have fallen apart by now!"

Feng Yao looked at Su Xuan with adoration, her eyes full of various ambiguous emotions.

Su Xuan's arrival made the already strained father-daughter relationship even worse.

Originally, Lord Father had always had some issues with Feng Yao because of what happened ten years ago.

But since they were father and daughter after all, no matter how displeased Lord Father was, it was just displeasure.

On weekdays, Lord Father never withheld any cultivation resources and fully fulfilled his duties as a father.

As time passed, both sides had slowly let go of these past events.

However, with Su Xuan's arrival, these old matters were brought up again by Lord Father.

Lord Father said that if Feng Yao hadn't married Xiao Chen, she might have had the chance to curry favor with Su Xuan now!

Because of this, the two had another argument.

Feng Yao certainly wanted to marry Su Xuan, but what displeased her even more were Lord Father's words.

Those words made it seem as if Lord Father had never regarded her as a daughter, but merely a tool to connect with powerful figures!

It was this point that instantly ignited Feng Yao, almost leading to a fight with Lord Father.

Fortunately, others intervened, otherwise, things might have reached a point where both sides regretted it.

It was also because of this incident that Feng Yao disliked Xiao Chen even more.

You might ask what this has to do with Xiao Chen? Of course, it has something to do with him!

In Feng Yao's view, it was all Xiao Chen's fault. If Xiao Chen had shown some ambition, she wouldn't have thought about divorcing him to marry Su Xuan.

It was all Xiao Chen's fault.

Fortunately, Xiao Chen didn't know about these things, otherwise, he might have been speechless.

"Sister Feng Yao overpraises me! How could I be so great!"

Su Xuan called her "Sister" repeatedly, making Feng Yao's heart flutter.

She was already over thirty, yet she was still being called "Sister" by a handsome Young Master like Su Xuan.

She even suspected that she was hallucinating! After all, strictly speaking, she was an old auntie!

However, Su Xuan still called her "Sister," which made Feng Yao feel somewhat unreal!

But as Su Xuan called her "Sister" more and more, Feng Yao became increasingly captivated.

Who cared if it was real or not! Anyway, being called "Sister" again and again made Feng Yao feel good.

"Oh my~ Young Master Su, calling me 'Sister' like that makes me shy!"

"I'm over thirty, how can you still call me 'Sister'? You should call me 'Auntie' or something like that!"

Feng Yao said with a shy expression.

"This woman, she's fallen so quickly?"

Su Xuan was a little surprised. He just called her "Sister" a few times, it wasn't like he used his mouth to...

"It seems that Feng Yao is even more hypocritical than I imagined!"
