Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System

Chapter 526 - 445: Su Dragon King Crooked Mouth Activated!

At this moment, Chen Yifeng deeply understood what it means that a grown daughter can’t be kept at home.

An overwhelming sense of helplessness, one that wealth couldn’t alleviate, welled up inside him.

Housekeeper Zheng, who had just walked in from outside, heard this and said with some frustration:

"Miss, everything the Chairman does is for your own good, even if you don’t understand him, you shouldn’t side with an outsider."

"Su Yuan is not an outsider."

Chen Nuoyi retorted without hesitation:

"I still remember clearly what happened two years ago, how you all looked down on Su Yuan and wanted to separate us."

"And on my eighteenth birthday, who exactly tried to block my family bloodline, even intending to capture me and seal the family bloodline forever."

"These things won’t fade with time. I’m back this time to settle these matters with you all completely."

Sitting on the sofa, Su Yuan felt a bit embarrassed; Nuoyi’s combat abilities today were amazing.

It appeared that she had been holding grudges over the conflicts with her family from two years ago, keeping her anger bottled up inside until it finally burst out now.

Su Yuan cleared his throat and stood up for the blue-haired girl:

"If we hadn’t been persistent back then, Nuoyi might have become a caged bird, unable to grow up healthily."

"As the saying goes, thirty years the east of the river, thirty years the west of the river, don’t look down on young people who are poor."

"Chen the Elder, we’re here today for two things: first, to ask you to apologize to Nuoyi; second, to transfer all the Chen family assets to Nuoyi’s name."

Listening to Su Yuan’s unreasonable demands, Housekeeper Zheng quickly became anxious.

"Su Yuan, how can you call the Chairman ’Old Deng’? You’re being disrespectful to your elders!"

"And forcing an elder to apologize to a junior, it’s unreasonable! You shouldn’t be so presumptuous!"

Su Yuan sneered, "Presumptuous, am I?"

He slowly stood up from the sofa, his demeanor proud, and said word by word:

"I’m sorry, you might not know who you’re talking to. Let me reintroduce myself to you and Chen the Elder."

"I am Su Yuan, a top influencer with over a hundred million followers online, the founder of the Primordial Sect, the most outstanding student certified by Evil Extermination University in history, the strongest student in the Federation, the direct disciple of True Monarch Zanyuan Phecda of Taibai, the governor of Dragon City County, the vice governor of the Cold Plum World, the Pope of the only official religion in the Celestial Law World."

"Moreover, I am the owner of the Immortal Treasure the Crown of Corruption, Dragon Emperor Coin, and the Immortal Soldier Profound Strange Demon Sword. Saint Law Celestial Monarch is my friend, Thousand-Faced Celestial Monarch is my employee, Wu Luo True Monarch’s daughter and Star River Celestial Monarch’s daughter are my close friends, and the daughter of the Demon Refining True Monarch is the Dharma Guardian Celestial King under my command."

"Lastly, I possess double Golden Cores, at the age of twenty, I am at the Golden Core Peak, currently the strongest individual in Taihua City without any qualifiers."

"Under such a host of identities, what’s wrong if I verbally attack my past pursuers a bit?"

"If it weren’t for Nuoyi’s sake, I wouldn’t have stepped into the door of the Chen family at all, but instead would have asked you to personally visit and admit your mistakes."

Listening to Su Yuan’s rapid-fire string of identities, Housekeeper Zheng felt dizzy and disoriented.

This young man, whom he once thought was a jobless hooligan, seemed to have identities now that were untouchable for anyone.

Although he wasn’t clear about what the Celestial Law World, Cold Plum World, and Dragon City County were, they seemed quite powerful too.

And when all those identities are bundled into one person, even all the cultivation clans in Taihua City combined can only look up to him.

Two years, in just two years, how did this kid achieve such feats?

Moreover... Golden Core Peak?!

He’s already at the Golden Core Peak? Not even a few months ago, he was just a college student at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage!

Even cheating doesn’t go this far!

The old housekeeper, only at the Foundation Establishment Peak himself, found himself feeling a sense of inferiority that was hard to restrain.

He seemed unqualified to participate in this debate and should quietly step aside to be a background figure.

However, before retreating, he couldn’t help but want to speak a word for his master.

"Miss, on your eighteenth birthday, the Chairman didn’t actually mean to harm you; he had prepared a birthday..."

But before Housekeeper Zheng could finish, Chen Yifeng shook his head and interrupted him:

"Old Zheng, don’t say anymore. Please leave first."

Housekeeper Zheng had no choice but to close his mouth and quietly leave.

After the latter left, Chen Yifeng slowly spoke:

"Su Yuan, I admit I did misjudge back then, and I thank you for your help to Nuoyi over these years."

"I may not understand how this girl managed to replenish the family bloodline, but I reckon without your strong support, she couldn’t have done it on her own."

"You saved the future of the Chen family and broke the curse of this family."

"If you insist on having me apologize to you, I am willing."

Hearing this, a smile immediately appeared at Su Yuan’s lips.

Now, that’s the way!

Seeing the once lofty Chen the Elder lowering his proud head just to seek forgiveness from the real identity, the urban Dragon King Zanyuan...

This is exactly what I wanted to see!

Smack talk and slap Chen the Elder’s face hard!

Su Longwang with a crooked mouth!

Of course, he’s not really a live-in son-in-law, but that part can be scratched, and it’s still a great feel-good story.

Su Yuan: "There’s an old saying, there’s an old Chinese saying, the wise man knows when to yield."

"Seeing that Chen the Elder you’re admitting your mistake so well, I won’t make things difficult for you. As long as you obediently give us some gold coins, we..."

However, before Su Yuan could finish, Chen Yifeng shook his head emphatically: "Everything else can be discussed, but the family assets can’t be transferred to Nuoyi yet."

"Huh?"

Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi were both taken aback.

No way, this Chen the Elder is still protective of his food, and at this point, still unwilling to relinquish power?

Does he really want me, Su Longwang, to lose my temper?

But Chen Yifeng’s next words left Su Yuan momentarily silent.

"If the family assets are transferred to Nuoyi now, I’m afraid she’ll transfer everything to someone else."

Chen Yifeng said solemnly:

"Before she gets married, as her grandfather, I have to guard the family business for her."

Chen Nuoyi, feeling guilty, said: "Grandpa, what are you talking about, how could I do such a thing? Of course, my own business will be managed by myself."

Chen Yifeng: "..."

Using formal language when lying, huh?

He sighed and relented:

"Fine, transferring the Chen family assets to your name is possible, but you shouldn’t get involved in management. When you get married, the family business will be passed to you as a dowry, without a penny missing."

Hearing the seriousness in her grandfather’s words, a hint of blush appeared on Chen Nuoyi’s pretty face, and she nodded gently.

Chen Yifeng: "Even after you get married, don’t forget to give your dad some beer money, or he’ll starve."

Chen Nuoyi protested, embarrassed and angry: "No matter what, I wouldn’t forget something like that!"

"Alright, it’s getting late. Why don’t you two stay over tonight?"

Chen Yifeng continued, feeling a bit tired:

"Have you had dinner yet? Let me ask the kitchen to prepare something for you."

"Then, then we won’t stand on ceremony."

For some reason, Su Yuan started to feel a bit uncomfortable. Even his crooked mouth Dragon King demeanor couldn’t hold up, and his tone became cautious.

An hour later, after watching the two enter the dining room for dinner, Chen Yifeng rubbed his temples and returned to his study.

Having silently listened to both sides’ conversations, Housekeeper Zheng whispered:

"Chairman, are you agreeing to Miss and that yellow-haired kid being together?"

Chen Yifeng sighed and said:

"What else can I do? Do I still have the power to tear them apart?"

"Even facing that rascal Su Yuan, or even facing Nuoyi, these old bones of mine can’t hold up."

After a pause, Chen Yifeng continued:

"Besides, that kid Su Yuan, though a bit arrogant and with that whole yellow-haired vibe, he’s a legal demon known across the Federation, he’s actually a good person."

Housekeeper Zheng: "..."
