"Isn't that Jiang Yu, the good-for-nothing? What is he doing here?"
Within the guesthouse, many people looked at the furious Great Xia good-for-nothing son-in-law with intense astonishment.
Dammit?
Could this good-for-nothing be enraged by love?
But...
You're just trash. Even if you're furious, what can you do?
Forget the Second Prince of Great Qi, probably anyone in this guesthouse could crush him effortlessly.
Wait!
That's not right!!
Why is there spiritual power fluctuation coming from him?
This fluctuation...
Tsk tsk!!
He's actually a Divine General expert!!!
This Great Xia good-for-nothing is actually a Divine General?!
How is that possible?
Absolutely absurd!
You must know, in the entire Western Frontier, those who break through to the Divine General realm at his age are all top-tier prodigies from the most powerful imperial dynasties.
But... a good-for-nothing? A prodigy? A Divine General?
How could these terms appear on the same person?
"This is the look I wanted..."
Jiang Yu remained composed, especially feeling immensely satisfied by the shock and fear in the eyes of the people around him.
Open your dog eyes wide and watch carefully!
I! am about to start showing off!!
If it were the past, or if his Grandpa hadn't promised him a return to the court to become Emperor, he would never have dared to so blatantly come to kill Qi Deqiang.
But now...
Hehe!
Is it a crime for me to kill a petty prince who stole my wife?
Would Emperor Xia stand with Great Qi or with my Great Qin? Is there even a choice?
Both are among the upper four dynasties, but my Great Qin once unified the world, with the most terrifying.
Besides, Great Qi is just an ally. Once I ascend the throne, Yanran will be the Empress. Won't Great Qin and Great Xia be one family then?
"Halt."
But just as Jiang Yu was about to walk towards the Great Qi temporary palace, a figure suddenly descended from the sky, blocking his path.
It was none other than Qi Deqiang's guardian, Fang Cheng.
Third-grade Divine Emperor, an expert of Great Qi.
"It's over! Although Jiang Yu hid his cultivation, he has no background after all. Even if Elder Fang beats him to death, Emperor Xia probably wouldn't dare fall out with Great Qi over it."
"This act of showing off hasn't even started, and it's... over?" The shock on everyone's faces gradually faded, replaced by a familiar mockery.
In this world, it's probably like this... everyone was originally cannon fodder and trash, so why do you suddenly become awesome?
What?
You're actually a Son of Fate?
I, his... I'm the Son of Heavenly Dao!
Dammit!
So what if you hid your cultivation?
So what if you're a prodigy?
If I want to mock you, I can always find a suitable reason!
You have no background, so... you're still trash!
And a trash who deserves to die!
"Mock me to your heart's content!" But what surprised everyone was that facing a third-grade Divine Emperor, Jiang Yu showed not a trace of fear on his face, even carrying a faint smile.
Then, he suddenly opened his mouth and roared, "Grandpa!!"
Huh?!
Heaven and earth fell silent for a moment, but after a good while, not the slightest unusual phenomenon occurred.
Immediately after, everyone seemed to understand!
Could it be that Jiang Yu's cry of 'Grandpa'... was meant for... Fang Cheng?
Pfft!
Do you think if you seriously call him Grandpa, Elder Fang will pity you, sympathize with you, and let you go?
I have to say, the with which you just shouted 'Grandpa' was quite convincing.
You made us think you had a really awesome Grandpa backing you!
"You... who are you calling Grandpa?" Fang Cheng was also visibly confused.
But the smile on Jiang Yu's face gradually froze.
I... Dammit?
Where's my Grandpa?
Shouldn't he be descending from the heavens right now, putting on a show of a powerful expert arriving, forcefully killing this villainous Divine Emperor, and proving my destiny as the chosen one?
How... did the plot go wrong?
And... I am strong and prodigious, capable of fighting across realms and killing enemies.
But... facing a Divine Emperor seems... a bit difficult.
To be honest, Jiang Yu was starting to panic a little.
Why is it that when others show off, they do so unimpeded, but every time I try, something goes wrong?
Could that Grandpa of mine be an 'All-Talk Divine Emperor' who took one look at Fang Cheng's terrifying cultivation and turned tail and ran?
"I..." Jiang Yu gritted his teeth, but ultimately suddenly turned to look elsewhere. "Grandpa, so you're not here. But where exactly are you? Your grandson misses you so much."
As he spoke, he actually walked around Fang Cheng, heading in another direction within the guesthouse.
Huh? Fang Cheng's eyes narrowed slightly, a flicker of hesitation seeming to pass through them.
Jiang Yu is, after all, the Royal Son-in-Lief of Great Xia. He naturally didn't dare to actually kill him on the spot.
But...
Killing is out of the question, but if you dare show off in front of me and I just let you go like that, wouldn't it disgrace my Divine Emperor dignity?
"Get back here!" Fang Cheng waved his hand. A tremendous force seemed to grip the space above Jiang Yu's head, directly slapping him across the face.
Thump! Pfft!
Jiang Yu's face instantly turned pale, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, looking utterly miserable.
Didn't you promise to bring me here to show off?
Why does my face... suddenly hurt so much?
I, his... my mentality is collapsing!
Ding, the Son of Fate's mentality collapses. Congratulations, Host, on plundering 500 Luck Points and 5000 Villain Points!
Hearing the system's prompt, the corners of Ling Xiao's mouth lifted slightly, but he still didn't make a move.
Just kidding!
Jiang Yu is a Son of Fate. Have you ever seen a Son of Fate get their face slapped right at the start?
Don't they need to be humiliated, beaten, and then have a turning point at the critical moment?
Of course, we have to let him highlight the halo of the protagonist chosen by fate. Otherwise... wouldn't that mess up his character setting?
"Hahahaha, has Jiang Yu lost his mind? Coming here to show off?"
"Probably acted rashly. Thought hiding his cultivation meant he could do whatever he wanted, forgetting his own status."
The cannon fodders began their merciless mockery once more.
And the aura around Jiang Yu gradually weakened.
Right at that moment, a clear, resonant hum suddenly echoed between heaven and earth.
Immediately after, something terrifying happened.
The Great Qi Divine Emperor, who was so imposing moments ago, suddenly had a look of astonishment flash across his face.
Then, his figure abruptly vanished from the spot.
"Grandson, sorry... I went to... relieve myself on the way. You can continue showing off now." The familiar, aged voice came from the void.
Jiang Yu's eyes instantly surged with excitement!
I damn it!!
Grandpa!
You went to relieve yourself... I was about to relieve myself on the spot just now!
But...
To be able to capture a third-grade Divine Emperor with a wave of the hand, Grandpa's cultivation...
Tsk tsk!
It seems I can happily show off again!!
---
Within the Domain World.
Fang Cheng frowned slightly, especially as he looked at this somewhat desolate world before him, a faint unease rising in his heart.
Just who could have snatched him away to this unfamiliar place, catching him off guard?
But!!
He and Qi Deqiang came for the alliance matter. This is the Great Xia capital. Who would dare attack an envoy like him?
Could it be... that Jiang Yu's Grandpa?
Quite inexplicably, a chill ran down Fang Cheng's spine.
Buzz!
Before Fang Cheng could figure out the answer, spiritual energy surged into the sky from the void thousands of miles away.
Then, he saw with shocked eyes a hundred-zhang long dragon silhouette, seemingly entirely condensed from spiritual power, instantly shattering space as it descended upon his head.
