Chapter 43: Since I'm a Person with a System Now, I Should Be a Little Braver

"Then I will trouble you, son-in-law."

Feng Chen looked at the few people and said in a cold voice.

Are they for real?

He only wanted to scare them and get some Fear Value; this cheap father-in-law is quite decisive.

As for this group of people led by Feng Mu, they are typical ingrates; keeping them is definitely a disaster.

"Feng Chen, don't go too far!"

Feng Mu was truly afraid now; his tone of voice was trembling.

He cursed himself for being naive; what kind of person was Yan Xiao? He was definitely an unrestrained character. He had said so many grand principles, yet he had actually dared to refute him—wasn't that just courting death?

If he wanted to leave, he should have slipped away quietly after escaping the danger.

The more he thought, the more afraid he became, filled with endless regret.

Yan Xiao slowly stood up, carrying the Magic Sword with his head lowered; the enchantment on the Magic Sword flickered with a bewitching, cold light.

Fear Value from a group of people +1500.

Hm?

"Have I become that terrifying?" He had only just stood up, not even having started to intimidate them, and the people opposite him had already generated such high Fear Value?

This must have scared everyone present.

"Owner, congratulations on comprehending 【Invisible Fear】, unlocking the Magic Sword skill—【Sword Demon's Presence】. The Magic Sword's attack power is doubled; it can only be used when the Magic Sword reaches Peak Grade," the system prompted.

"So I succeeded in an invisible flex? The ancients did not deceive me; invisible flexing is indeed fatal!"

Yan Xiao thought happily.

However, his smile did not look friendly at all to Feng Mu and the others; instead, they felt it was even more terrifying.

"Don't kill me! I wanted to leave the Feng Family precisely to follow you; I wanted to be your most loyal servant.

I am conquered by Young Master Yan's demeanor; I will definitely be loyal and never betray you."

Feng Mu knelt on the ground with a thud and begged loudly for mercy.

"I..."

Yan Xiao was speechless; am I really that scary?

He had only smiled knowingly, and it had scared this guy into shivering; this is an insult to his great, handsome, and amiable image.

"Great Elder, your chance to perform a meritorious service has come; deal with them quickly."

Seeing the Great Elder and the others actually watching the show with schadenfreude, Yan Xiao felt very disgusted.

"Ga..."

The Great Elder immediately suppressed his smile.

Then, filled with righteous indignation, he drew his long sword and charged at Feng Mu and the others.

Yan Xiao watched the battle from the side; he was too lazy to make a move.

Half an hour later, the Great Elder and the others won by a narrow margin; under the siege of the five, they finally killed Feng Mu.

This was only the result of Qian Youdao and Luo Ying secretly helping; otherwise, those five definitely wouldn't have been able to keep Feng Mu.

"Son-in-law, I have... fulfilled the mission; I have already killed that scoundrel Feng Mu."

The Great Elder walked up to Yan Xiao panting heavily to claim credit, with a trace of blood still on his face; he had sustained some injuries.

"Jingxuan, come here."

Looking at the young boy hiding behind Feng Chen and Feng Xianzi, Yan Xiao called him out.

Jingxuan moved his feet, but after seeing Feng Mu's corpse, he shook his head again, feeling very afraid.

"If I hadn't come today, do you know how many people in your Feng Family would have died?"

Jingxuan gritted his teeth and remained silent, tears swirling in his eyes, which made Feng Chen and Feng Xianzi look heartbroken.

"I won't speak of others, but you and your father would definitely die, and your sister would also not know if she could survive in order to take revenge."

Yan Xiao said indifferently.

What he said was the truth; if he hadn't come, no one would have been able to suppress Feng Mu, the Great Elder and others wouldn't have defected, no one would have spoken up for them, and Feng Mu would definitely not have let Feng Chen and his son walk out of the main hall alive.

"You are the future of the family, so you must be a little braver and take on the responsibilities that belong to you."

Yan Xiao reached out his hand, signaling for Jingxuan to take it and walk over, standing in front of everyone to declare his sovereignty.

"Go, child, you can do it!"

Feng Chen encouraged him.

Jingxuan looked at his father, then at his sister, and finally took the first step.

He took a deep breath and walked staggeringly to Yan Xiao's side; Yan Xiao supported him with one hand, signaling him not to be afraid.

Looking at the family members, he finally raised the precious sword in his hand and shouted in a callow tone, "I, Feng Jingxuan, inherit the position of the 8th Clan Leader of the Feng Family."

Everyone in the Feng Family knelt on one knee in submission, shouting to pay respects to the Clan Leader.

"Not scary at all, right?"

Yan Xiao whispered in Feng Jingxuan's ear.

Feng Jingxuan nodded vigorously, finally showing a bit of masculinity, then said aggrievedly, "Brother-in-law, don't let go; I'm afraid I'll fall."

Yan Xiao smiled without a word.

The matter of the Feng Family came to an end.

As for how to develop cooperation with the Feng Family and how to manage it, that was the business of the Grand Steward Qian Youdao.

He blinked at Feng Xianzi to say goodbye and turned to leave the Feng Family in a dashing manner.

Waving his sleeve, he took not a single cloud away.

Feng Xianzi watched Yan Xiao leave, and suddenly the corners of her mouth lifted, revealing a smile.

After exiting the Feng Family main gate, Yan Xiao ran into Luosang in front of the gate.

At this moment, Luosang was lying on the ground clutching a wine jar, having long since passed out drunk.

"I really don't know how he has survived until now."

Yan Xiao kicked Luosang, but the latter had no reaction at all, his mouth forever muttering only, "Good wine... good wine..."

"Master, get up, I'll give you two jars of good wine when we get back."

Luo Ying helplessly crouched down and said into Luosang's ear.

Upon hearing this, Luosang stood up at once, his eyes filled with surprise as he said, "Really!"

"Really," Luo Ying replied.

"Wine does not intoxicate a person, a person intoxicates themselves; using wine to drown sorrows only makes the sorrows deeper."

Yan Xiao walked in the lead and couldn't help but sigh, secretly glancing back at Luosang's reaction after he finished speaking.

He saw Luosang standing dazed on the spot, his expression pained, continuously muttering: "Wine does not intoxicate a person, a person intoxicates themselves; using wine to drown sorrows only makes the sorrows deeper... makes the sorrows deeper... makes the sorrows deeper!

I am sorrowful!"

Good grief.

Is this guy about to cry?

Yan Xiao saw a tavern not far away, used Earth Escape to get there, bought a jar of wine, and came to Luosang's side, "Finish this cup... jar, and you won't be sorrowful anymore."

Luo Ying rolled her eyes at Yan Xiao; wasn't this clearly trying to get Master drunk?

"He isn't truly drunk yet, a little more and he'll be fine."

Yan Xiao whispered, and Luo Ying was half-convinced.

"When life is going well... glug glug glug glug."

Luosang lifted the wine jar and took a full gulp; he wanted to speak, but Yan Xiao didn't give him the chance, directly helping him hold the jar and pouring all the wine into his mouth.

"Keep going, it's almost finished... don't waste it, there's only a little bit left."

Yan Xiao encouraged him.

"Urp—"

After finishing the jar of wine, Luosang couldn't help but let out three consecutive burps, a look of bliss on his face.

"Is it satisfying?" Yan Xiao asked.

"Satisfying!" Luosang chuckled, feeling like he was floating on air.

"That's good, do you feel like you are flying on a sword?" Yan Xiao asked again.

"It's much faster than sword flying; right now I am in the ninth heaven, inside the Immortal Palace of the Immortal Emperor."

Luosang said proudly.

Luo Ying covered her forehead, unable to bear watching.

Haha, that's more like it; drinking until the automatic bragging mode turns on is when one is truly drunk.

"You are an immortal, what is your greatest wish?" Yan Xiao asked hurriedly; if he waited for this guy to black out, he wouldn't be able to ask anything useful.

"My greatest wish is... to become the Supreme Immortal Emperor and slaughter all the heartless people."

As expected, he is a love-struck fool who has been hurt.

"You are already an Immortal Emperor; your heartless person was killed by you five hundred years ago. Do you have any other wishes?" Yan Xiao asked again.

"I killed her? She died?... How could she just die!"

Luosang's mouth turned down, and he wailed, crying in a heart-wrenching manner.

"Good grief—"

Yan Xiao was suddenly at a loss; if a girl were crying, he could lend her his shoulder, but with this grown man crying... he really had no way to deal with it...
