Chapter 143: Chapter 130 [The Powerful Demon Queen]

Realizing this, those Su Family partners and the Jiangnan elite swiftly diverted their gaze from Chu Ji, unanimously shifting it toward Su Hongyuan.

Seeing Su Hongyuan’s astonished expression, they were sure that Su Hongyuan hadn’t expected the "Demon Queen" Chu Ji to come and support Ye Fan. Likewise, they understood that since Ye Fan had come prepared, the idea of tonight’s engagement ceremony proceeding smoothly was nothing short of a fool’s dream!

For a moment, their faces uniformly displayed a contemplative look, and while they didn’t mind using the occasion to expand their contacts and discuss business, they were also interested in witnessing a drama of marriage disruption unfold.

However, considering that this matter could potentially involve and affect them, they couldn’t help but set aside their amusement to seriously contemplate which direction this situation would ultimately take.

In comparison, the members from Nanqinghong appeared slightly more solemn.

Because in their memory, Chu Ji was not only a Martial Artist with high prowess but also notoriously ruthless.

Ten years ago, when Chu Ji suddenly appeared, an Innate Martial Artist who practiced the Lust Demon Technique tried to assault her and ended up having his Martial Arts crippled by her. She castrated him, amputated his limbs, and threw him to a pack of wolves, turning the Martial Artist into wolf food.

It was unclear who had spread this incident, but ever since then, the "Demon Queen" title began to circulate within the Martial Arts World and eventually reached the secular world. This led the conceited young masters of Yanjing to regard Chu Ji as a poisonous rose, to be admired from a distance but not to be desecrated.

And today, Chu Ji had clearly come to support Ye Fan...

Although they didn’t know what Chu Ji would do, they were sure of one thing: the "Demon Queen" Chu Ji, who had dominated the Qing bang for ten years, definitely didn’t take Nanqinghong lightly!

"Didn’t you say that kid had no backing?"

As the members of Nanqinghong looked terrified, He Qingshu tightly furrowed his brow and asked Lin Ao Feng in a never before seen grave tone.

"Uncle He, I also didn’t know that this kid was connected to this woman." Lin Ao Feng regained his senses from the shock and instinctively replied.

"Hiss~"

He Qingshu sucked in a breath of cold air, looking somewhat displeased at Lin Ao Feng.

"Uncle He, although this woman is powerful and influential in the secular world, given that this issue involves the Ye Family’s and Bai Family’s struggle, she wouldn’t dare act rashly."

Sensing He Qingshu’s anger, Lin Ao Feng analyzed calmly, "Moreover, she can’t openly challenge the authority of the Yanhuang Organization!"

Perhaps feeling that Lin Ao Feng had a point, He Qingshu didn’t respond, but he knew clearly that since Chu Ji had arrived, their plan to infuriate Ye Fan, provoke him into attacking, and use the self-defense rule to kill him, was doomed.

He Qingshu understood this, and Lin Ao Feng was also crystal clear about it!

This realization extremely frustrated Lin Ao Feng!

Apart from feeling frustrated, he saw Su Hongyuan’s face alternating between hope and despair, fully aware that Su Hongyuan was panicking due to Chu Ji’s arrival. Lin Ao Feng suddenly steeled his heart and said, "Lady Chu, I truly did not expect you to grace our wedding. It’s an honor beyond our wildest expectations."

"Who did you call ’lady’?"

Chu Ji, who had just reached Ye Fan’s side, saw Lin Ao Feng greeting her with a fake smile and scoffed in response.

"Uh..."

Lin Ao Feng suddenly found himself at a loss for words.

"Don’t flatter yourself. I came uninvited because some people are shamelessly coveting my nephew’s woman and deserve a beating!" Chu Ji candidly expressed her stance and attitude.

Whoosh—

As soon as Chu Ji spoke, the crowd burst into an uproar again.

Clearly, nobody had expected that Ye Fan would be the famous "Demon Queen’s" nephew!

"Su Hongyuan is going to have a tough time now!"

Almost simultaneously, those Su Family partners and elite figures of Jiangnan society cast their eyes on Su Hongyuan, each harboring the same thought.

In their view, although Lin Ao Feng, as the Nanqinghong Crown Prince, had a distinguished identity and a lofty position, Ye Fan, being the nephew of the "Demon Queen" Chu Ji, was no less impressive and potentially even more beneficial for the future of the Su Family!

After all, Nanqinghong was an underworld force and couldn’t be openly acknowledged!

Difficult, right?

Yes!

From the moment Chu Ji appeared, Su Hongyuan started to feel uneasy, and now, hearing Chu Ji’s words, his discomfort soared drastically.

Besides feeling difficult, he also knew that at this point, he could only hope in the rumors that Bai Family was the backer of Nanqinghong!

If Nanqinghong had no such backing from the Bai Family, he had a thousand reasons to believe that Lin Ao Feng would behave like a tame mongrel in front of Chu Ji, getting completely smoked by Ye Fan, and the Su Family might very well have to bear the wrath of Ye Fan and Chu Ji!

Guessing Su Hongyuan’s thoughts, facing the formidable Chu Ji, Lin Ao Feng forcefully suppressed the fear in his heart and said word by word, "Lady Chu..."

"This is the second and last time. If I hear you say ’lady’ again, I will cut off your tongue!" Chu Ji coldly interrupted Lin Ao Feng, displaying her dominance to the fullest.

"You might have misunderstood; I didn’t steal your nephew’s woman..." Perhaps because Chu Ji was so dominant, Lin Ao Feng also inevitably got a bit irked, his tone unintentionally becoming forceful.

Chu Ji coldly laughed again and interrupted Lin Ao Feng, "Then you mean to say that you and the Su girl are truly in love?"

"Uh..."

Lin Ao Feng was at a loss for words.

Su Yuxin was the first to clarify, "Sister Chu, I have no feelings for him; on the contrary, in my eyes, he’s just a scumbag!"

"Sss~"

Seeing Su Yuxin publicly calling him scum, Lin Ao Feng’s face turned pale with rage, and he said irritably, "Engagement and marriage are not just about the two individuals but about the union of two families—I engaged her with Grandpa Su’s permission!"

As his words fell, Lin Ao Feng looked meaningfully at Su Hongyuan, signaling him to make a statement.

"Miss Chu, Ao Feng is telling the truth. He indeed personally came to ask for her hand in marriage, and our Su Family even held a family meeting to unanimously agree on this marriage. As for Yuxin, I think, she just temporarily doesn’t understand our good intentions. I believe that after some time, she will willingly be Ao Feng’s wife!" Prompted by Lin Ao Feng, Su Hongyuan spoke, firmly aligning himself with Lin Ao Feng.

Because he knew that without the Bai Family’s support behind him, Lin Ao Feng definitely wouldn’t dare to be so presumptuous in front of Chu Ji!

"Phew~"

Hearing Su Hongyuan’s words, Lin Ao Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Chu Ji with a smile and said, "Lady Chu, if you and your nephew would like to attend our engagement ceremony, I would be very grateful and sincerely thank you. If you merely came to verify whether I stole your nephew’s woman, then the result is clear now, and Grandpa Su’s words are enough to prove that I’m not lying. Also, I believe someone of your esteemed status would certainly not act out of character."

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

Hearing Lin Ao Feng’s words, the guests at the scene secretly marveled at how the son of the cunning Lin Tianyi, though arrogant, inherited Lin Tianyi’s treachery, using retreat as an advance in such a nicely played move!

On one hand, he placed himself on a moral high ground—if Chu Ji forced the issue, she would inevitably confront the laws of Huaxia and the regulations of the Yanhuang Organization. Furthermore, by deliberately mentioning Chu Ji’s noble status, if Chu Ji really were to forcibly take someone, she would become a laughingstock in the future!

"Little bastard, playing games with me? You’re still too green."

Facing Lin Ao Feng’s strategic retreat, Chu Ji scoffed, then turned to Su Hongyuan and said, "Su Hongyuan, come with me to the bamboo grove for a private chat."

"Uh..."

Upon hearing this, Su Hongyuan involuntarily was taken aback.

"Lady Chu, a person of your nobility, are you intending to threaten and intimidate Grandpa Su?"

Lin Ao Feng feigned a surprised look, ostensibly provoking Chu Ji while secretly worrying if Su Hongyuan would waver, "As a banner of the Jiangnan Business World, I assume he won’t be scared off by a few words from you."

"Little bastard, don’t be too happy with your prancing around; soon I’ll make you regret it deeply."

Chu Ji scoffed and then moved like a shadow, appearing in front of Su Hongyuan, "Su Hongyuan, it’s just a few words, no need to be this scared, right? Of course, you can choose not to go, but I guarantee you’ll regret it!"

As her words ended, Chu Ji didn’t waste more words, leading the way to the bamboo grove.

"Ao Feng, rest assured, since I’ve agreed to your engagement with Yuxin, I certainly won’t change my mind at this time."

Looking at Chu Ji’s enticing silhouette, Su Hongyuan’s heart was in turmoil, but he finally steeled his resolve and told Lin Ao Feng, "I’ll be right back!"

"You..."

Although he faintly felt that the profit-oriented and opportunist Su Hongyuan would go, hearing Su Hongyuan’s words still made Lin Ao Feng quite angry; he instinctively wanted to curse, but feeling it inappropriate, he swallowed the words he had on the tip of his tongue.

And Su Hongyuan simply turned around and quickly followed Chu Ji.

"Little bastard, better not let your underlings harass me, or else, you’ll bear the consequences!"

Noticing that Su Hongyuan was eagerly following, Chu Ji showed no surprise, as if she had anticipated this, and without turning back, she issued a warning to Lin Ao Feng.

Clack!

Lin Ao Feng, originally planning to send someone to spy on Chu Ji and Su Hongyuan’s conversation, suddenly heard Chu Ji’s warning, was startled, and immediately abandoned the idea, only yelling toward Su Hongyuan’s retreating figure, "Grandpa Su, don’t forget our agreement!"

Su Hongyuan’s body jolted, then remembered Lin Ao Feng’s prior threats and promises.

"Su Hongyuan, don’t think about that bullshit agreement anymore." Chu Ji turned her head, looking at Su Hongyuan with a mournful gaze, "Tonight, you will deeply regret your actions!"
