Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law

Long Shaogong had no ability to resist, and his left leg was directly shattered by Seventeen's punch.

Long Shaowu and the other of Dragon Sound Pavilion looked on, not daring to intervene to help; they were all frightened out of their wits.

"Ah…"

Long Shaogong screamed miserably, gritting his teeth and roaring, "You... you actually broke my leg, you dare!"

Only after Seventeen retreated behind Ye Feng did Long Shaowu dare to rush over, helping Long Shaogong up and pulling him back to the car.

"Ye, we are both direct lineage scions of the Long Family, and you dare to cripple my brother's left leg; my grandfather will definitely not let you go, just you wait!"

"A waste from the Hong Family, relying on a powerful bodyguard, dares to act so recklessly? You really think no one in Jiangdu can handle you, let's go, and immediately go back and tell Grandfather. Tomorrow at the martial hall, even if you, young man, don't come, you're definitely on a path to death!"

After dropping these words, the individual from Dragon Sound Pavilion directly got into the car, and then the driver accelerated, the car immediately roaring away.

Throughout this whole time, Ye Feng was just sitting in the wheelchair, his expression utterly unmoved, considering them nothing more than a few pompous noblemen's sons, unworthy of his attention.

"A battle challenge letter, just a leader of the city's Martial Alliance dares to issue me a challenge? Tomorrow, I really want to see what abilities you actually possess!"

Ye Feng uttered a cold laugh and then asked Hong Qingyan to push his wheelchair as he headed back to the Inner Courtyard.

Hong Wei looked at his departing figure, his eyes spinning with some admiration, "Sister, whether we admit it or not, our son-in-law from the Hong Family seems quite domineering. The way he spoke earlier about breaking Long Shaogong's damned leg was really too cool and satisfying!"

Hong Yuting pursed her lips, rolled her eyes, and said, "Quite domineering? Are your ears stuffed with dragons? Didn't you hear just now? That old man from the Long Family, the leader of the Jiangdu Martial Alliance, has already issued a battle challenge to that useless son-in-law!"

"Tomorrow, a year from now, will probably be the death anniversary of that Ye fellow. Domineering? I think ignorant arrogance is more like it!"

Hong Yuting finished speaking with disdain, crossed her arms, and walked back to her own bedroom.

Hong Wei shook his head and sighed, "It seems like tomorrow, Jiangdu is going to be tossed into another storm. But it's uncertain who will emerge victorious. If only…"

Originally, he felt that their son-in-law might be able to win. If he did, then the Hong Family might indeed ride the tide and rise. However, upon further thought, he felt it was unlikely. After all, the adversary was the Leader of the Martial Alliance!

Without a word overnight, as the first rays of dawn shone through the window the next morning, Ye Feng was already sitting up in bed, placing his hands on his thighs, forming a strange and mysterious seal technique.

He slowly closed his eyes and entered a regular pattern of breaths. Soon, a white misty layer began to emanate around his body. Then, an incredible phenomenon occurred—five different colors appeared above his head.

"Five Qi Returning to Origin!" This was a phenomenon that appeared after a Grandmaster of Inner Force entered the Intermediate Realm.

Once an External Strength Warrior practiced to a certain level, Qi Force, commonly referred to as Inner Strength, would be generated within the body. After cultivating Inner Strength to a certain extent, "Three Flowers Gathering at the Top" would manifest.

The so-called "Three Flowers Gathering at the Top" is when three different colors of Qi appear above a martial artist's head during their practice. This is already a higher-level state for a Grandmaster. Currently, Seventeen was at this stage.

Beyond "Three Flowers Gathering at the Top" is the "Five Qi Returning to Origin," which is the phenomenon that just appeared above Ye Feng's head.

And beyond Five Qi Returning to Origin is the "Nine Return to One."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Suddenly, as Ye Feng continuously performed his breathing technique, the five-colored Qi above his head began to swirl and turned into complex, resplendent hues. Then, all the colors of the Qi vanished, becoming a single color.

A silver-white Qi now hovered above him; at this moment, there was only one color above his head!

"The Realm of Nine Return to One, I've finally recovered to my peak state before the injury!"

At this time, Ye Feng slowly opened his eyes, revealing a faint smile on his usually stoic face for the first time in a long while. Being restored to his peak state meant that he could hold his own unless he faced a high-level assassination attempt.

Of course, having been caught off guard once before, it would not be so easy for enemies to ambush and attack him this time.

"In the Realm of Nine Return to One, I had already cultivated to my peak, yet I simply couldn't Open Aperture. Once I succeed in Opening Aperture, I will step into the legendary Realm of the Martial King!"

"The Martial King, revered by thousands, stands second only to one. This time, I must achieve the Martial King status and return to the imperial capital in the true guise of a king!"

Ye Feng slowly clenched his fists, and just then, the door to the room was opened. Hong Qingyan walked in carrying a copper basin.

"Big Brother Ye, you're awake. Come, wash your face first. I have already prepared the lean meat and mustard soup porridge; it will be ready to serve shortly."

Hong Qingyan came over and began to help Ye Feng wash his face. She had been taking meticulous care of him this whole time.

Ye Feng nodded and asked, "How is the old master doing now?"

"He's much more stable now. Grandfather woke up just a while ago and had some plain porridge. However, he's still lacking in essence, Qi, and spirit, and has gone back to sleep," answered Hong Qingyan.

"He's been poisoned by a Gu, leading to severe vitality damage. It's only because he has a strong foundation that he's been able to hold on. During this time, it's inappropriate to consume too many tonics. Drinking more glucose to replenish his strength is advisable. In half a month, once he has recovered some, he can start taking bird's nest and other such nourishments," Ye Feng said.

"I've got it, Big Brother Ye. The doctor from the Divine Doctor Sect also gave the same instructions this morning."

Ye Feng nodded, he didn't add anything more.

Hong Qingyan helped Ye Feng into his wheelchair, looking at his completely immobile legs, she eventually couldn't help asking, "Big Brother Ye, your legs... is there really no way to heal them?"

Ye Feng was taken aback for a moment but then smiled and said, "My legs are fine, don't worry about them."

"How can you say it's fine when it's like this?" said Hong Qingyan.

Ye Feng didn't want to dwell on this topic, so he changed the subject and asked, "If my legs can't be healed for the rest of my life, would you despise me? Would you still serve me as you have before?"

Hong Qingyan didn't avoid his gaze and replied, "What are you saying, Big Brother Ye? You never despised my background, so how could I ever despise you? Besides, I'm also disabled, and since grandpa has betrothed me to you, I naturally will take care of you for life."

A wave of emotion stirred unexpectedly in Ye Feng's heart. Adversity reveals true feelings, as the saying goes. Perhaps that's exactly what this meant. In his past life, as a once great king, he enjoyed immeasurable glory, and there were far too many women flattering and fawning over him every day.

But Ye Feng knew that those women from noble clans and powerful families admired not the man he was, but the title of the Northern Border King. What they really coveted was the supreme vanity and power the Northern Border King title could bring.

"Let's go have breakfast together. After that, we'll set off for the Jiangdu martial arts gym to meet this so-called Great Grandmaster, the Leader of the Martial Alliance of Jiangdu!" Ye Feng said, looking at the frail woman with a long-lost gentle smile on his face.
