The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

For a while, people from all directions were heading towards Xinluo City. This auction was destined to leave a significant mark in the Xingluo auction industry.

As for the beginning of all this, it was thanks to the Fate Fruit Su Changfeng had brought out. At this moment, he was still in bed, sleeping soundly.

Su Changfeng naturally didn’t expect that a small Fate Fruit would cause such a big commotion, almost shocking the entire Xingluo.

When Qiutang Yu’er couldn’t resist waking him up, Su Changfeng still wore a half-awake expression.

”Disturbing someone’s peaceful dreams is not a good habit.” Su Changfeng glared at her with dissatisfaction. Just now, he was happily reuniting with Shen Hanxue and Ye Nianhai in his dream, only to be awakened. How could he not be upset?

”Why are you still sleeping? Something big happened.” Qiutang Yu’er looked at Su Changfeng with a face full of helplessness and said.

”What big thing? As long as the sky isn’t falling, it’s not a big deal,” Su Changfeng said.

He lay back down, preparing to continue his sleep.

Qiutang Yu’er got anxious, plopped down onto the bed, and forcefully tugged at Su Changfeng’s clothes, saying, ”Still sleeping? Take a look at what’s going on outside.”

”What does that have to do with me?” Su Changfeng said indifferently. What mattered to him was going back to his dream, where he was just about to hold his beloved daughter.

”You mean it has nothing to do with you? Don’t you know that because you brought out a Fate Fruit, everyone in Xinluo City is speculating about who the seller is? Besides, many influential families are rushing over. If your identity is revealed, who knows how much trouble it will bring?” Qiutang Yu’er said, full of dissatisfaction.

Her identity must not be exposed. She initially chose to stay by Su Changfeng’s side to conceal her identity. Now that he’s dragged her into this situation, who knows when her identity will be leaked?

Hearing Qiutang Yu’er’s words, the half-asleep Su Changfeng suddenly became fully awake.

He never imagined that merely bringing out a Fate Fruit could cause such an impact. If all the major families within Xingluo Territory were indeed coming, he’d definitely be in big trouble.

”Does the Fate Fruit really have such allure?” Su Changfeng looked at Qiutang Yu’er with surprise. He truly didn’t know the value of the Fate Fruit on the Tianyuan Continent. He originally planned to see how much the Fate Fruit was worth, never expecting it to be so valuable.

Qiutang Yu’er scrutinized Su Changfeng suspiciously, seemingly surprised that he asked such a question, doubting whether Su Changfeng was actually from here.

Everyone, even an ordinary person here, knows of the Fate Fruit’s existence. Though it’s mostly legend, its value is known even to children.

”You really don’t know what the Fate Fruit implies?” Qiutang Yu’er asked.

”I’ve been secluded and training since I was young, so I’m not familiar with the outside world. Is there something wrong with that?” Su Changfeng said calmly.

This explanation was prepared long ago. In case someone questioned his identity, saying this should be enough to gloss over their doubts.

Qiutang Yu’er couldn’t help but roll her eyes exaggeratedly but still explained, ”The Fate Fruit only grows in the Sourceless Forest. You do know where the Sourceless Forest is, right?”

”Of course I know. The Sourceless Forest is full of dangers, only accessible to Primordial Masters. From there, one can travel to other countries,” Su Changfeng said.

”Exactly, there are many powerful Exotic Beasts in the Sourceless Forest, making the Fate Fruit rare. It’s said that the places where Fate Fruits grow are guarded by Exotic Beasts, so you understand the value of the Fate Fruit now, right?” Qiutang Yu’er said helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Su Changfeng finally realized the significance of bringing out a Fate Fruit. Such a rare treasure would undoubtedly cause a huge sensation. It’s inevitable that various forces would come to compete for it.

And as Qiutang Yu’er said, if people found out he was the seller of the Fate Fruit, it would surely bring about countless troubles.

But it had already happened, and he couldn’t stop it now.

”This incident might even have reached the Emperor’s ears. If he personally comes, I’m doomed,” Qiutang Yu’er said, face ashen.

With such a big commotion, how could the Emperor not know? Therefore, Qiutang Yu’er was very worried. She didn’t yet have the strength to confront the Emperor.

”Don’t be nervous. If he really comes, I can protect you. But those families are indeed troublesome,” Su Changfeng said with a frown. He wasn’t concerned about the Emperor coming. Given the Emperor’s attitude towards him, even if he came, he wouldn’t make things difficult for him.

However, as for those families, they were unpredictable. They didn’t even know Su Changfeng. If they found out he was the seller of the Fate Fruit, the trouble would just keep growing. And if they asked how he obtained the Fate Fruit, he wouldn’t know how to explain.

Of course, there was a very simple solution, which was to kill them. But doing so would mean Su Changfeng couldn’t keep a low profile within Xingluo, and that wasn’t something he considered favorable.

To know, he was still unfamiliar with the Tianyuan Continent, and as for the invasion of Earth by the Tianyuan Continent and the subtle allure of the Tuo Shi Forbidden Land, he had yet to find any trace of Chen Qingqing.

If he became too conspicuous, being remembered by everyone, all his subsequent movements would likely be exposed to the public eye.

This would make it challenging for him to act later on.

”Now do you understand the importance of what’s happening? How are you going to solve this?” Qiutang Yu’er asked with irritation.

”What else can be done? We’ll see when the time comes. At worst, just have a good fight,” Su Changfeng said nonchalantly.

On hearing ’have a good fight,’ Qiutang Yu’er’s heart trembled. Over the days spent together, she could feel that Su Changfeng wasn’t someone who resorted to killing easily. Killing the three from Xingluo before was unavoidable.

However, as he spoke those words, Qiutang Yu’er suddenly sensed a domineering and icy aura, as if the Killing God had descended.

Was she mistaken in her feeling? Or was it something inherent in Su Changfeng that she hadn’t seen yet?

In truth, Su Changfeng wasn’t fond of killing. In the world he lived in, killing was not permitted. Unless absolutely necessary, Su Changfeng wouldn’t act impulsively.

But, even though he had his principles, it didn’t mean he lacked a temper or couldn’t commit massacres.

Back in Purgatory, he showed no mercy when he acted. At that time, how different was Su Changfeng from a slaughterer?
