Celestial Night Emperor

Chapter 67: Chapter 67: The Heroine Returns

The scene was terrifying.

All the guests stood up again, surrounded by a deathly silence.

Er Gou and Da Hu—two hardened thugs like them—why were they so terrified?

”This lowly one deserves to die!” Da Hu also dropped to his knees, kowtowing even louder than Er Gou.

Prince was baffled. ”Why are they kneeling? I haven’t even said anything.”

But Er Gou and Da Hu were about to faint from fear. ”We... we came with Boss Lin, with the property management... the vehicle fleet... Marquis, you are a magnanimous man, please be merciful! We’ll get the hell out of here right now!”

Prince couldn’t help but laugh at the two of them. ”I have nothing to be angry about. It’s just that our Mr. Qin is also here. Are you two looking for trouble?”

’The Marquis’s boss?’

’The legendary Mr. Qin?’

THUD. Er Gou collapsed flat on the ground.

Da Hu’s face was ashen as he trembled, unable to speak.

At that moment, amidst the quiet banquet, Qin Tianxuan spoke up. ”Looking for trouble? According to the rules, you have to leave something behind before you go, don’t you?”

Er Gou and Da Hu understood the rules.

CRACK. Er Gou gritted his teeth and broke one of his own fingers. Da Hu, too, closed his eyes and snapped a finger.

Qin Tianxuan picked up the teapot and leisurely poured a cup for Uncle Han, not even glancing in their direction. ”How much did the Chen Family give you in red envelopes?”

Enduring the excruciating pain, Er Gou and Da Hu fumbled as red envelopes fell from their pockets. It was a hefty sum—twenty thousand each!

Qin Tianxuan took a light sip of his tea. ”Prince, give them money for their medical expenses. Also, reward each of them with two hundred red envelopes identical to the ones from the Chen Family!”

’Two hundred ten-thousand-yuan red envelopes?’

Oh my god!

Er Gou and Da Hu forgot all about the pain, their eyes wide with disbelief.

Prince, meanwhile, initiated a direct mobile transfer—cold, hard cash, no hesitation.

Grimacing in pain, Er Gou and Da Hu got to their feet. They and their men bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle. ”Lord Qin, there’s nothing more to say! It’s a rare honor to have you visit our turf in Wuzhou. If anyone here dares to disrespect you, my brother and I will go in with a clean knife and come out with a red one!”

The two thugs spat these words out through gritted teeth, directing their threat straight at the Chen Family.

Patriarch Chen and the Second Aunt began to tremble, their lips dry and their throats constricted.

Qin Tianxuan frowned. ”Do I need you to back me up? Get lost!”

Er Gou and Da Hu scrambled away. At the door, they didn’t forget to shout in unison, ”Thank you for the red envelopes, Mr. Qin! Thank you for your mercy, Marquis!”

Inside the Chen Family Mansion, some of the high-status guests scrambled to get closer, lining up to greet Qin Tianxuan and exchange pleasantries.

They handed over their business cards one by one, bowing and scraping as they introduced themselves.

These shrewd operators had long since figured it out.

This son-in-law of Han Qian Jun and Jiang Wan Jun was definitely a major figure, an extraordinary man!

The faces of Patriarch Chen and the Second Aunt flushed with shades of green and red from humiliation.

Just then, a kinsman came over and whispered, ”I just checked on the warehouse. It was blown up!”

Patriarch Chen shuddered. ”Bl-blown up?”

”Yes, with Battle Department methods! You know I used to be in the Battle Department; I’d never mistake it. These are top-tier special forces techniques. You can’t afford to offend Jiang Wan Jun’s son-in-law! Hurry up and go apologize.”

But Patriarch Chen couldn’t swallow this humiliation.

’Apologize to Qin Tianxuan?’

’Wouldn’t that be giving Han Qian Jun the last laugh?’

He couldn’t stand Han Qian Jun. ’That good-for-nothing thinks he can walk all over me?’

Meanwhile, the Second Aunt was already furious. ”The Battle Department? Fine! Just wait until my daughter gets here! Don’t forget who my daughter is!”

That’s right!

Patriarch Chen’s back straightened instantly.

The eldest daughter of the Chen Family, Chen Fengzhi, a Captain in the Northern Domain Battle Department, was a renowned and beautiful heroine!

”Let the banquet continue! It’s time to receive gifts. This Qin Tianxuan just looks like some underworld thug to me, not someone from the Battle Department. We’ll deal with him when Feng Zhi gets back!” Patriarch Chen sneered.

The Second Aunt sat down at the head table, her expression dark.

Friends and family wheeled out the birthday cake.

According to local custom, a red cloth was spread out beneath the cake, where various gifts for the birthday person were placed.

This was the Chen Family’s moment to shine.

Jewelry, jade, red envelopes full of cash—the cloth was instantly piled high.

Jiang Wan Jun had already regained her face and didn’t want to be too conspicuous, so she presented her gift last.

The Second Aunt, vexed, grabbed the Cyan Hundred Flowers Jade Bracelet from Jiang Wan Jun and threw it directly on the ground. ”I am not worthy of this gift!”

Jiang Wan Jun trembled and bit her lip.

Qin Tianxuan bent down, picked it up, and placed it back. ”You’ve been sisters your whole lives. Are you really going to refuse a birthday gift over a matter of face? If Tianxuan has done anything wrong, please forgive me. But don’t take it out on my aunt!”

His tone was calm and his words reasonable.

Thinking of her bond with her sister, the Second Aunt felt a pang of regret. She wiped the jade bracelet, exchanged a few words with Jiang Wan Jun, and her expression softened considerably.

Qin Tianxuan presented his red envelope, then turned and sat down, silently waiting for the Chen family’s eldest daughter to appear.

”Prince, we’ve received several battle reports from the Northern Domain, but I won’t be at ease until I question that Female Captain from the front lines myself. For now, it seems the remnants of the Celestial Demons lack combat strength. The Northern Domain might be able to hold its ground.”

Prince shook his head. ”I’ve heard that the Celestial Demons in Beimo are gathering their forces and have secretly recruited all sorts of shady characters. Next time, I’m afraid that Qin Celestial King of the Northern Domain truly won’t be able to hold them back.”

Just as they were speaking, the sound of footsteps came from outside. A few female cousins rushed in excitedly, screaming from a distance, ”Feng Zhi is back! Our general is home!”

The entire hall erupted in excitement. Everyone stood up, ready to welcome her!
