Chapter 667: Chapter 154: Return to the Ancient Dreams (46)

Shi Feiqing’s words filled Lin Lang and the others with joy; it seemed that Young Master Shi Xin also intended to properly punish Gui He during the banquet of the Hundred Clans’ chosen ones.

After all, who could endure the humiliation of having their spouse snatched away?

Lin Lang and the noble scions were eager to see Shi Feiqing unreservedly slap Gui He to death.

When Shi Feiqing announced the penalty drink, Gui He waved his hand, "Recently I’ve been feeling unwell and can’t drink alcohol. What if I substitute tea for wine?"

"Hmph!" At this moment, Terri spoke up, "Substituting tea for wine, feeling unwell? It looks to me like you’re blatantly disregarding Young Master Shi Xin!"

Saying this, Terri stood up, bowed to Shi Feiqing, and said, "Lord Feiqing, I had once arranged a duel with Gui He at Hong Tian Peak."

"Oh? What was the result?" Shi Feiqing chuckled, eager to hear any embarrassing stories about Gui He.

"The fight was inconclusive, interrupted by your wife, Shi Chang Xin. Therefore, today I would like to ask for your permission, Young Master, to restart this fight to add some excitement to this banquet!"

With deliberate emphasis on Shi Chang Xin’s special identity, Terri’s goal was to provoke Shi Feiqing.

And Shi Feiqing did feel the sting, his brow furrowing slightly.

But few of the chosen ones present seemed to notice Shi Feiqing’s displeasure; they all voiced their support for Terri, urging on the fight.

After all, those who were watching the show had no fear of it getting too big.

Shi Feiqing first glanced at Terri, then turned to Gui He, "He wants to fight you in the arena. Do you accept?"

Gui He shook his head, "I am still recovering from an injury and am not fit to fight."

Shi Feiqing nodded; although the Heavenly God’s blood had treated Gui He and further strengthened his body, the physical toll from the great battle was not something that could be replenished in a short time.

However, Gui He’s refusal caused Terri and the others to sneer coldly, "Still recovering from injuries? It’s been over two months - can’t you heal from the small wounds I inflicted? I think it’s clear that you’re just too cowardly to accept the challenge!"

Lin Lang also chimed in, "Since you’re injured, we won’t bully you. Among the chosen warriors here, you can pick anyone to fight in your stead. How about that?"

"No thank you," Gui He still shook his head, picking up his teacup to slowly savor it, as if he didn’t give a second thought to the group challenging him.

Seeing such a contemptuous attitude, the crowd of chosen ones immediately smacked the table and scolded, "Gui He, you can’t refuse today’s entertainment!"

Their confidence in making a scene was entirely because of Gui He’s relationship with Chang Xin, a relationship they were certain of, and they knew that Shi Feiqing definitely wouldn’t let it go without a fight. Due to status reasons, it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to retaliate personally, so they took the opportunity to hassle Gui He, both to vent and to curry favor with Young Master Shi Xin – a profitable situation for them.

At that moment, Shi Feiqing finally spoke, "I very much agree with Lin Lang’s proposal. Gui He, choose someone."

Seeing Shi Feiqing’s expression, Gui He seemed to understand his intention and pointed at Terri, "No need to pick; him."

When Gui He picked him, Terri immediately showed a fierce smile, "Admirable courage, then let’s see if you’ve made any progress these past two months!"

But as they waited, Gui He did not get up and leave his seat.

The crowd of chosen ones around them shouted loudly, urging Gui He to accept the challenge.

And at that moment, Shi Feiqing stood up.

Seeing Shi Feiqing move, Lin Lang laughed heartily, thinking to himself - you’re so arrogant, you put on such airs. Now that Young Master Shi Xin himself is taking action, I’ll see if you don’t meet your end today!

But surprisingly, Shi Feiqing didn’t confront Gui He. Instead, he approached Terri with a contemptuous smile on his face.

Terri was confused for a moment, "Young Master Feiqing, you... what are you doing?"

"Standing in for Gui He in the battle," Shi Feiqing said indifferently, "Since your side can choose a representative to fight, our side can do the same."

What???

Shi Feiqing’s words stunned everyone present.

What the hell? Was Shi Feiqing really standing up for Gui He?!!!

Without giving anyone time to recover, Shi Feiqing continued, "Terri, are you ready?"

"I...I...I..." Fight with Shi Feiqing? Which of all the prodigies present could beat the Young Clan Leader of the Shi Changxin family? Even he couldn’t beat Shi Changxin, let alone the Young Master of the Shi family.

"What’s up? Not ready yet, can you hurry it up?"

Faced with Shi Feiqing’s pressure, Terry’s face turned red, and after a long time, he spoke softly, "I am no match for you, I admit defeat."

"Heh," Shi Feiqing sneered, "Useless trash, still trying to issue challenges. You can’t even beat me, and you still dream of challenging Gui He? Get lost!"

Shi Feiqing’s scolding carried a bit of Bloodline Power, which made Terry step back repeatedly, ultimately slinking away from the banquet in disgrace.

This sudden turn of events rendered all the prodigies of the Lin Lang lineage silent as cicadas in winter and also made them ponder the relationship between Gui He and Shi Feiqing.

As for Tian Xianghong, he was stupefied early on. He couldn’t understand why that weak, pitiful, and bullied little waste from the turtle tribe could suddenly rise to the heavens and become the friend of the strongest prodigy among all the beast tribes?

Shi Feiqing did not continue to pursue the matters with Lin Lang and the others, after all, the banquet was a matter of face for the Shi Changxin royal family, and some family relationships were not something he could decide at the moment.

After sending away Terry, Shi Feiqing then approached Gui He, grinning, "What are you sitting there for? Come sit beside me. We’ll have a good drink tonight."

"Didn’t I say I can’t drink alcohol?"

"Oh come on, small matters, all small matters. Who says you can’t drink?"

"The physician from the Beast Battle Hall."

"Quack doctors, absolute quack doctors. Tomorrow I’ll find a physician to treat you. We’re not going home until we’re drunk tonight."

"Alright, then." Gui He no longer refused, "But you’re paying for the medical bills, right?"

The banquet officially began, gathering prodigies from hundreds of tribes, exchanging ideas and getting along splendidly.

Among them, the most eye-catching was Gui He, sitting beside Shi Feiqing.

After three rounds of drinks and five dishes, Shi Feiqing raised his glass and called loudly, "Quiet down, quiet down, everyone!"

Under everyone’s gaze, Shi Feiqing announced loudly, "I declare that Gui He is my brother-in-law. From now on, his matters are my matters. If I hear of anyone daring to target him, hehe."

Brother-in-law, holy crap? What brother-in-law? Which sister of Shi Feiqing?

Could it be that Gui He made a deal with Shi Feiqing? Gui He gave Shi Changxin to Shi Feiqing, then Shi Feiqing selected a woman from his family as compensation for Gui He?

While everyone was speculating, Shi Changxin took her own initiative and walked into the hall.

Shi Feiqing looked at Chang Xin with a chuckle, teasing, "Hey, my sister has arrived at just the right time. You’re not going to be angry about my official announcement, are you?"

Shi Changxin gave Shi Feiqing a white look, then walked straight up to Tian Xianghong.

Facing the overpowering presence of Shi Changxin, Tian Xianghong instinctively shrank toward Lin Lang.

"Tian Xianghong," Shi Changxin said, "I don’t care what your relationship with Gui He was like in the past, but since you renounced the marriage, he has nothing to do with you. I hope you’ll conduct yourself properly and stop flaunting your coquettishness to trouble Gui He. Can you do that?"

"I..." Tian Xianghong was somewhat reluctant, but under Shi Changxin’s gaze, she couldn’t muster any courage and ultimately had to accept the outcome, "I can."

"Good." Shi Changxin nodded in satisfaction, then turned and walked up to Gui He’s side, leaning against his shoulder with the tenderness and quietude of a little bird depending on someone, a stark contrast to her earlier self.

Now, everyone was sure that Gui He and Shi Changxin’s relationship had been recognized by Shi Feiqing.

But why on earth would Shi Feiqing recognize him, Gui He? It didn’t make sense! Even Terry couldn’t beat him, so what made Gui He qualified to be looked highly upon by the Young Master of the Shi family?

While they couldn’t understand the dynamics, it didn’t stop the multitude of prodigies from offering their congratulations.

Gui He and Shi Changxin had drunk dozens of toasts in succession, acting as if they were the hosts of the banquet.

Shi Feiqing was rather relaxed, pondering whether he should have Shi Changxin and Gui He sleep separately or together tonight.

Wait, wait a minute!

Suddenly, Shi Feiqing realized something and sneaked up beside Shi Changxin, asking quietly, "Hey, Chang Xin, have you ever thought about what your future son with Gui He would look like? Lion head with a turtle body? Or turtle head with a lion body?"

Shi Changxin was hugely embarrassed and punched Shi Feiqing, tipping him over onto the ground.
