Chapter 312: The Shock of Zhuge Nanfeng

The appearance of Ye Lin made the expressions of everyone in the reception hall turn rather unpleasant.

"Family Head Xie, the security of your Xie family has truly become lax lately; any stray cat or dog can be let in."

Zhuge Ensheng raised his teacup and took a sip, his expression showing some displeasure.

"Elder Zhuge, I am truly sorry. It is not that I wanted to let him in, but I truly dare not move against him..." Xie Hong wore a helpless expression.

"Oh? Within this capital, there is still someone you dare not move against?" Zhuge Ensheng became interested.

Xie Hong nodded, then recounted the entire affair regarding the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm and the Human Emperor Ye Lin.

Zhuge Ensheng's gaze grew a bit more solemn; he had heard rumors that a level 68 Forbidden Spellcaster had emerged in the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm and had even beheaded the Xie family's Xie Zhanxin.

Yet, he could not for the life of him connect a level 68 Forbidden Spellcaster to the guy with green hair in front of him.

To be able to kill Xie Zhanxin, one would at least be considered one of the top super geniuses in the capital; how could he look so sloppy? With Ye Lin's appearance, Zhuge Ensheng wouldn't even be surprised if he pulled a handful of lime from his pocket the next second and started performing the Phoenix Dances in the Nine Heavens.

"Family Head Xie, we are about to become in-laws. Since you cannot move against him, then let my Zhuge family help you out! Causing trouble on the day my Zhuge family comes to propose marriage—even if the Human Emperor himself came, my Zhuge family would still be in the right!"

Having said that, Zhuge Ensheng gave a wink to Zhuge Nanfeng. Zhuge Nanfeng understood Zhuge Ensheng's meaning, stood up leisurely, his expression carrying a hint of playfulness.

"Buddy, it's 2024 already, still playing that 'stealing the bride' routine?"

"I, Zhuge Nanfeng, am a direct descendant of the Zhuge family, of noble status. I would like to know, what do you have to compete with me? If you're smart, get lost."

Zhuge Nanfeng didn't take Ye Lin seriously at all. So what if he was a level 68 Forbidden Spellcaster? If Ye Lin didn't use a forbidden spell, he wouldn't be his match; if he dared to use one, Zhuge Ensheng, who was right beside him, was no pushover!

"You ask me what I have to compete with you?" Ye Lin clutched his forehead and gave a bitter smile, pointing at Xie Xiaoxiao's stomach and saying, "She has my child in her belly!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhuge Nanfeng's expression changed slightly, but as a direct descendant of the Zhuge family, he still possessed that much composure.

"Nephew Zhuge, don't listen to his nonsense, that didn't happen!" Xie Hong hurriedly denied it.

Hearing Xie Hong's words, Zhuge Nanfeng's heart calmed down, and he looked at Ye Lin again.

"I broke through the level 75 barrier at 25; within ten years, I will surely step into the Starry Realm!"

"She has my child in her belly."

"I am one of the successor candidates; if things go smoothly, I could even become the next head of the Zhuge family!"

"She has my child in her belly."

"I have vast wealth and am learned in five cartloads of books!"

"She has my child in her belly."

"I..." Zhuge Nanfeng was choked with anger, his originally calm expression turning somewhat ferocious. "Do you have proof?"

Ye Lin gave a forceful flick, and an eye-catching ultrasound report appeared before Zhuge Nanfeng.

Zhuge Nanfeng's face turned green instantly.

Combined with Ye Lin's green hair, the more Zhuge Nanfeng looked, the greener he felt.

His fiancée was actually pregnant with someone else's child?

"Damn it!"

Xie Hong also stood up with a start, looking at Ye Lin with an expression as if he wanted to eat him alive!

In Xie Hong's mind, the best outcome was for Ye Lin to bear the consequences of breaking off the engagement, while his Xie family remained beautifully invisible and would not offend the Zhuge family.

But now that this ultrasound report was out, the Zhuge family would definitely hold a grudge against his Xie family as well!

After all, the person his Zhuge family was about to betroth had another one in her belly—buy one get one free; which man could stand that?

Those who didn't know would think his Xie family had intentionally humiliated the Zhuge family!

"Family Head Xie, I hope you give me an explanation for this." Zhuge Ensheng's expression also became very ugly.

"That shouldn't be!" Xie Hong's expression was one of shock and suspicion. "I only failed to watch them that one night; how could it be a hit on the first try?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of Zhuge Ensheng and Zhuge Nanfeng turned even greener.

Because whether that ultrasound report was real or fake no longer mattered; what mattered was that they had learned a piece of news from Xie Hong's words: the forest path Zhuge Nanfeng longed for had truly been taken by someone else first!

For many men, this was a very difficult thing to accept.

No matter how successful, powerful, or wealthy you become later, the fact that the girl you like has already been taken by someone else is destined to be unchangeable.

Her innocence, her shyness, her naivety, and her overflowing love might have all been given to another man on that Qixi Festival night.

"I'll kill you, you beast!"

Zhuge Nanfeng's eyes turned red; at this moment, only killing Ye Lin could vent the anger in his heart!

On Zhuge Nanfeng's finger, an ancient ring seemed to sense its master's fury and instantly emitted a brilliant light.

"Lament of the Ice Prison!"

A black portal opened at Ye Lin's feet; the surrounding temperature dropped sharply, and tiny, sharp ice crystals even began to condense in the air.

A terrifying chill surged from the portal, freezing even the space around Ye Lin. A bone-chilling cold rushed from the soles of Ye Lin's feet straight to his crown; the surrounding space seemed to turn solid, squeezing and binding Ye Lin, intending to seal him within the bone-chilling hell!

At the same time, Xie Hong couldn't help but shiver; he didn't think much of it, only feeling that he was affected by Zhuge Nanfeng's skill.

"A direct descendant of the Zhuge family, his strength is truly extraordinary." Xie Hong couldn't help but narrow his eyes; to be able to affect him at level 75—looking at the entire Xie family, the number of younger generation members who could surpass Zhuge Nanfeng would not exceed the count of one hand.

Ye Lin's gaze also grew a bit more solemn; he absolutely could not suffer heavy injuries in front of Xie Hong.

Otherwise, if Xie Hong felt uncomfortable whenever he was injured, it would be very easy for this old fox to notice something.

If Xie Hong realized the existence of the Death Sacrifice Curse, that would be a huge loss; with the Xie family's influence, they might not be unable to find a way to break the Death Sacrifice Curse.

The Death Sacrifice Curse seemed invincible, but it actually relied entirely on catching the enemy off guard. Once the enemy was prepared, this skill would appear somewhat useless; otherwise, Hidan wouldn't have been buried in the dirt for so many episodes.

Thinking of this, Ye Lin didn't intend to hold back, holding the Spear of Imperial Gold, the Dragon Bloodline within his body instantly boiling.

"Break for me!"

Accompanied by a crisp dragon roar, the Ice Hell that bound Ye Lin was instantly shattered.

"What?!"

Zhuge Nanfeng's expression changed; there was clearly no magical fluctuation on Ye Lin's body, yet this guy had broken his Lament of the Ice Prison with mere physical strength?

"I don't believe that a Forbidden Spellcaster's physical body can compare to a Warrior-class profession of the same rank!"
