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

```

Mu Tian's visit was exceedingly brief, as he hurriedly arrived and left, carrying with him Ye Feng's entrustment as well as his trust, heading to the Northern Border Camp.

How many people will the Zhu Family have?

Within the spacious tent, only Ye Feng remained, sitting alone above the sand table deep in thought. The outcomes for the main peak and eight hilltops chosen by Zhu Guangbo were now clear, and whether by coincidence or design, the main peak he chose, Azure Cloud Peak, was situated right behind Ye Feng's designated Sky Sword Peak.

Of course, the choice of location wasn't the most important aspect. What mattered most was that beyond Sky Sword Peak lay the bridge spanning Gesang River. To put it more clearly, if the savages from Mingbei also arrived at that time, it would result in a pincer attack from both front and back.

"Why has Sister Feng Yuan returned?"

Ye Feng did not look up; Feng Yuan's strong fiery aura was too easy to recognize.

"Just popping by for a visit, or do I need your permission to go somewhere?"

Feng Yuan took off her fiery red down jacket and casually tossed it on the ground.

Around the council tent, an invisible ring of fire had been set up, insulating against snow as well as sound. Long Nannan was familiar with Feng Yuan's methods. She glanced at Hong Qingyan with her big black eyes rolling around curiously, seemingly lost in thought.

Seductively attractive!

Feeling the fiery passion emanating from before him, Ye Feng couldn't help but shake his head. In all fairness, whether in terms of figure, appearance, or temperament, Feng Yuan surpassed Hong Qingyan.

"As if I would dare to command Sister Feng Yuan."

Ye Feng looked straight into the eyes before him that resembled clear autumn waters. Feng Yuan's family lived in a little mountain village and seemed to practice martial arts, no wonder she possessed such unfathomably deep power at her age.

But was this an attempt to test him?

"I'm thirsty."

Feng Yuan licked her enticing red lips deliberately, lowering her body further.

"Let's talk about serious matters!"

Ye Feng ignored the display and remained indifferent as he calmly poured tea for Feng Yuan, while cursing "demon" to himself in silent frustration.

Such seduction, aren't you afraid it might really get out of hand?

"The serious matter is that I'm still feeling quite hot."

Feng Yuan sipped her tea and started to untie her clothing once more.

"Testing my resolve like this, don't you find it very tedious, Sister Feng Yuan?"

Ye Feng's eyes suddenly turned icy as his expression turned displeased.

"It is tedious."

"Forget it, overpowering you wouldn't be difficult; using such tricks is just annoying to me."

After finishing her statement, Feng Yuan's gaze turned fiery as she looked at Ye Feng with an aggressive demeanor. In terms of skills, she could easily restrain Ye Feng in an instant.

Is this it?

Intending to be forceful?

Ye Feng smiled and shook his head, maintaining a proper seated posture without showing any intention to resist or comply.

"The person valued by Old Long doesn't seem to be anything special in my eyes."

After staring each other down for a full two minutes, Feng Yuan eventually retied her belt.

"Why must there be something exceptional about someone, isn't it also good to be an ordinary person?"

Valued?

Ye Feng didn't think so. He really hadn't felt that his nominal senior brother showed any particular regard for him. Such a laissez-faire attitude from his martial sect was not common.

"Perhaps I was mistaken, being an ordinary person is quite nice indeed."

Feng Yuan said sincerely.

"Was the story over there intriguing?"

One could tell that there was a hint of sorrow in Feng Yuan's eyes at that moment. Such a change made it hard not to feel a sense of pity, to the point where one would struggle not to want to embrace and comfort her.

However, Ye Feng remained motionless, even though he knew that only one person was left from the family that practiced martial arts in the small mountain village, and that person was certainly the Feng Yuan before him.

The people of the small mountain village couldn't be predicted by common sense, just like Long Nannan's tears that cost nothing.

"Blood and carnage, what's interesting about that?"

"Ye Feng, you think you've faced the world's cruelty, but if you ever go over there, you'll get the chance to understand what true cruelty is."

Without actually going there, how could one know how fierce the slaughter over there was?

Just like Ye Feng's Northern Border, how could people who've never been to the Northern Border know what life is like for the soldiers here, day and night? Read exclusive chapters at My Virtual Library Empire

Upon hearing these words, Ye Feng didn't speak. More than once, he had asked, where exactly is "over there"?

How vexing!

Even though Ye Feng was the Northern Border King, and even though he had looked through everything, he still couldn't figure out where the men from the small village had gone. From what Feng Yuan implied, the Northern Border of the Xuanyuan Nation was insignificant in comparison to "over there".

"Alright, let's get down to business."

"I discovered someone who is sneaky and has no small skills. Probably still can't beat Miss Long, what do you think?"

Feng Yuan quickly composed herself, getting to the actual important matter.

"When did they arrive?"

Ye Feng asked with a furrowed brow.

"Right when those few people arrived, and he didn't even notice me."

Which meant, to kill or not to kill, was just a matter of convenience for Feng Yuan.

What exactly is this woman's strength?

Ye Feng found it bemusing to ponder that earlier he couldn't see through Cao Yi of the Punishment Heaven Department, and now he couldn't see through Feng Yuan either. Chasing after this flame-like woman would likely be an exceedingly distant pursuit.

"Let's proceed with the plan as it is; if there's any sign of action, kill them. Also, thank you!"

Ye Feng spoke coldly.

Why Feng Yuan was willing to help himself, Ye Feng had still not figured out that point. This woman wasn't his subordinate, nor did she have any relationship with him. If there was any, it was probably only second to Long Nannan's existence.

"There's no need for thanks, if you have time, it would be better to discuss how you plan to compensate me for my help,"

Feng Yuan bit her lips lightly, putting on a lovestruck facade.

Just as I thought!

Ye Feng ignored Feng Yuan and turned to flee in panic, knowing that this woman had been testing him from the beginning to the end.

...

For seven consecutive days, Ye Feng had left his camp on only the first two days; the rest of the time he spent almost entirely inside. Plenty of people visited during these days, but Ye Feng sent each of them away, including Gai Jiutian and Leng Wuming, who hadn't had an opportunity to properly catch up.

Pitifully, both of them were still injured and didn't stay long before they once again braved the wind and snow to continue on their way. No one but Ye Feng knew where they were going or what they were planning to do.

Until the seventh day, a big shot that even Ye Feng hadn't expected arrived—Cao Yi, the Chief Director of the Punishment Heaven Department!

Ye Feng, of course, was not unfamiliar with Cao Yi. Back when the Old Northern King was still around, the two old guys often met each other. In fact, the headquarters of Cao Yi's Punishment Heaven Department was also not in the capital, but in the Northern Plains, very close to the Northern National Line.

The most crucial figures always appear last?

Seeing the people Cao Yi brought with him, Ye Feng was truly shocked—an entire group of a hundred individuals, and not a single one below Grandmaster Level, including more than ten who were genuine Martial Kings.

A whole group of over ten Martial Kings arriving at once!

Only then Ye Feng, having recently made a breakthrough, no longer took Martial Kings all that seriously. Otherwise, the simultaneous appearance of over ten Martial Kings would have made even him speak more hesitantly.

"Boss Cao, what's this all about?"

Ye Feng pulled Cao Yi aside for a private conversation, and in the whole Xuanyuan Nation, only he dared to address the Chief Director of the Punishment Heaven Department in such a manner.

Why call him Boss Cao?

That was because the people working in the Punishment Heaven Department Prison, combined, would exceed Cao Yi's own followers a hundredfold. He was a boss, a legitimate big boss, who could make people work themselves to death for him without paying them a dime.

"What else could it be? Little Yezi, I'm here to back you up,"

Cao Yi said nonchalantly.

Looking at Cao Yi, with his sharp face and typically sly expression—this kind of man is usually not up to any good, vengeful by nature. However, in Ye Feng's eyes, this seemingly frail old man,

was a good man!

He took the seat of honor, which was unashamedly occupied by Cao Yi.

"If you used your personal power to back me up, then I would believe. But if you tell me that the hundred or so people outside are your men..."

"Boss Cao, please have some tea first!"

The unspoken rest of that sentence, of course, was disbelief.

In the Xuanyuan Nation's Three Offices, Cao Yi's Punishment Heaven Department had the best relationship with Ye Feng, who always treated Boss Cao like an elder of his own.

"Figured it out? Guessed it?"

"What are you thinking? If I had so many powerful subordinates under me, wouldn't the other two old guys be bowing and scraping, calling me 'big brother'?"

These words were something Cao Yi dared to say only in a low voice.

"Right, you old man are so mighty, and Ge Nie is just your little sidekick."

Ye Feng intentionally raised his voice loud.

At that moment, many of the hundred or so people outside showed a strange look in their eyes—Ge Nie, a little sidekick?

Hehe!

The Punishment Heaven Department has such great authority.

"Little Yezi, I've come all this way, is this how you repay me?"

Cao Yi was so irritated he clenched his teeth.

It was just that he had spoken without thinking and now Ye Feng had turned the tables on him. In the Xuanyuan Nation, who didn't know that it was Ge Nie who was the real big brother here?

"Boss Cao dares say he doesn't harbor that desire?"

Ye Feng responded coolly.

"Even if I did have that desire, I'd have to be able to win a fight. Just you wait; when I get back, I'm telling Ge Nie this was all your teaching."

Cao Yi quickly thought of a means of retaliation.

Now!

It was Ye Feng's turn to feel uncomfortable. He immediately said,

"Boss Cao, I was speaking up for you. If you betray me, then forget about this year's tea leaves and the like."

It was customary to send gifts to elders during festivals and holidays.

Even in the past, if Ye Feng could not personally visit, he would always have someone send gifts to Cao Yi.

"Alright, I know you kid mean well."

"Don't think I brought many people; this is power that's beyond the rules. The people standing on that side are no less than those outside. If you dare to lose, then in the future, I'll pretend I never had you as a ..."

Cao Yi really wanted to say the word "grandson," but after all, he was not Ye Feng's grandfather.

"Can you tell me which two factions are in conflict?"

Ye Feng asked solemnly, knowing Cao Yi was serious at this moment.

"Now that things have reached this point, it's not impossible to tell you."

"In our nation, some people do not wish to see power so dispersed. Previously, those people didn't dare act too blatantly, but now, with strong figures backing them, it's inevitable that their true colors will show."

Ge Nie didn't spell things out too clearly, but he knew Ye Feng would understand.

"Are they seeking a centralized authority, a revival of the—dynasty?"

Ye Feng laughed.

It was not easy for Xuanyuan Nation to finally reach its current state of prosperity. This nascent nation had everything running on trials, but now, some people couldn't resist the urge to monopolize the fruits of success.
