Dragon King Makes His Entrance

After the group returned to the hall, Old Master Tang first expressed his gratitude to the guests who had come to celebrate his birthday.

Then he called Tang Yu and Su Muyue before him and announced to everyone.

"Dear friends and family, there is another piece of happy news to share today."

"Our Tang Family has decided to form a marriage alliance with the Su Family. From today onward, Su Muyue is half a granddaughter-in-law of our Tang Family."

Once Old Master Tang finished his announcement, the guests attending the banquet immediately began applauding.

The Su Family members were grinning from ear to ear.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen, who was sampling red wine in a corner, instantly darkened!

His face brimming with murderous intent, he strode toward Tang Yu.

Su Muyue was the woman he had set his sights on.

Anyone who dared lay a finger on her had to die!

[Fuck, here he comes, here he comes, he's coming over with killing intent.]

[What the hell, why is it still like this? Am I doomed to get beaten up today?]

At that moment, Tang Yu's inner grumbling rang out again.

Hearing it, Su Muyue glanced over and indeed saw Ye Chen walking toward them with a murderous look on his face.

This left Su Muyue rather shocked.

The Su Family had come to attend the banquet today, so naturally they had not brought bodyguards.

Yet Ye Chen had really appeared here? It was exactly as that guy had said.

"I do not approve of this marriage."

Stopping three meters away, Ye Chen shouted furiously with a cold face.

Everyone's attention turned toward him.

The guests present today were all prominent figures from Suhang. Aside from a very small number of Su Family members, no one knew who Ye Chen was.

Su Zhongshan, however, remembered Ye Chen as the newly hired bodyguard of the family.

Seeing him cause trouble, Su Zhongshan's face darkened as he stepped forward and snapped.

"What the hell are you? You're just a lowly bodyguard. Since when is it your place to point fingers at the affairs of my Su Family?"

A flash of killing intent passed through Ye Chen's eyes.

If the one saying that had not been Su Muyue's father, he would have already made his move.

He was the mighty Dragon King! He had roamed freely across foreign lands!

Even the princes and nobles of Europe would not dare speak to him like that!

He stared at the Su Family members and pointed at them one by one.

"You call yourselves the dignified Su Family, a prestigious clan, yet for the sake of the family's prosperity, you would sacrifice a young woman's happiness. Do you have even a shred of shame?"

[Hahaha, here it comes, here it comes, the classic mouth-fu begins.]

[Sticking his nose into someone else's family affairs would be one thing, but he'll beat people up later and put on a hero-saves-the-beauty act. Won't the Su Family be the ones who end up suffering?]

[But he's the protagonist of a power fantasy. One general's glory is built on ten thousand bones, and everyone is just a stepping stone beneath his feet. No big deal.]

Tang Yu's inner grumbling rang out once more.

According to the original plot, Su Muyue had been forced by her family to agree to the marriage alliance.

At her most desperate moment, the Dragon King Ye Chen stepped in and took her away!

After Ye Chen shattered the shackles in her heart, he became her only support!

Thus, she fell in love with Ye Chen and became the first member of his harem!

But Su Muyue only frowned slightly at this moment, without the slightest trace of being moved or pleasantly surprised.

After listening to Tang Yu's inner thoughts for so long, her mindset had completely changed.

"This is outrageous! A mere bodyguard dares act so brazenly? Throw him out!"

Su Zhongshan roared in uncontrollable fury.

Soon, a tall man in a suit hurried over. He was He Jin, the captain of the Tang Family's bodyguards.

He Jin was a retired special forces soldier. Since he could serve as the Tang Family's bodyguard captain, his skills naturally needed no praise, and his loyalty to the Tang Family was absolute.

According to the original plot, he had been the first to make a move and the first to be beaten to death.

Once he was beaten to death, it would soon be Tang Yu's turn to suffer.

"Don't be rash."

Tang Yu hurriedly rushed over to stop He Jin, persuading him, "Let's talk this out. Today is my grandfather's birthday. Fighting would hurt the harmony."

Seeing that the young master had spoken, He Jin finally stopped.

"See that? Young Master Tang is much more refined. He doesn't stoop to the level of such a barbarian."

"If it were me, I'd have dragged him out and beaten him to death to feed the dogs."

"I bet he wants to steal a woman from Young Master Tang. With that poor, shabby look of his, does he deserve it?"

"Young Master Tang, hurry up and verbally destroy him."

The onlookers around them all praised Tang Yu for his grace, while also taking the opportunity to trample on Ye Chen.

This was also a standard trope in power-fantasy novels.

First, the bystanders would fuel the protagonist's anger. Then the villain would jump out and show off a few times before getting punched to death.

Tang Yu was scared out of his wits when he heard those remarks.

Why are you shouting so loudly?!

Can't you be a little nicer?

You enjoy insulting him for one second, and I'm the one getting sent to the crematorium!!!

Sure enough, after hearing the words of those bystanders, Ye Chen's face immediately turned livid as he fixed Tang Yu with a deadly stare.

It was all this culprit's fault. If Tang Yu had not pestered Su Muyue, how could things have become like this?

[Fuck, why the hell are you staring at me? I wasn't the one insulting you.]

[I didn't even let anyone attack you. What more do you want? If you want to take her, then hurry up and take her. Don't fucking come at me, you stupid bastard.]

Tang Yu's ass clenched under Ye Chen's stare, and he cried bitterly in his heart.

As the Dragon King, Ye Chen alone was more than enough to take on every bodyguard in the Tang Family!

If he really got angry, it would not be long before everyone could come to the Tang Family to attend their own funeral banquet.

After listening from the side for so long, Su Muyue could not hold back a snort of laughter.

When Ye Chen saw Su Muyue smile, his expression softened considerably.

He thought she had smiled because he had stepped out to speak up for her.

So he gave Su Muyue an evil, charming smile, the corner of his mouth pulling into an astonishing curve as he walked over.

"Muyue, no one can sacrifice your freedom in exchange for profit. With me here, you can go wherever you want. Whoever tries to stop you will die!"

Tang Yu, on the other hand, silently took two steps back to widen the distance, feeling somewhat excited.

[That's right, hurry up and go for it. Once the male and female leads hold hands successfully, get the hell out of here.]

In the original plot, Tang Yu would already have led the bodyguards forward to attack by now.

But now, he had stopped the bodyguards too!

As long as this guy took Su Muyue away, whatever happened next would have nothing to do with him.

Ye Chen walked over and reached for Su Muyue's hand, intending to take her from the Tang Family.

Before his hand could touch Su Muyue—

Su Muyue had already taken two steps back. She looked at Ye Chen coldly and said, "What are you doing? Are you insane? When was my freedom ever sacrificed?"

After hearing his inner thoughts for so long, she already understood what was happening.

The world she was in seemed to be a novel world.

According to the normal plot, this guy should have already taken her away to elope with him.

The thought of becoming part of this man's harem disgusted her beyond measure.

Ye Chen's face was full of shock, and a flash of anger passed through his eyes.

This woman actually dared reject him?

Did she not understand that when the whole world betrayed her, he was the only one willing to betray the whole world for her?

Then he came to his senses and smiled at Su Muyue.

"Muyue, I know what you're afraid of. Don't worry. With me here, the mere Tang Family would not dare do anything to you."

After saying that, he fixed Tang Yu with an icy stare.

Su Muyue did not dare leave with him because this guy must have coerced her!

A mere young master of the Tang Family? What the hell was he?

This was only because he was in the country, where it was inconvenient for him to kill people casually.

If they were abroad, with a single command from him, a hundred thousand... a hundred or so mercenaries could reduce the Tang Family to ashes in an instant.

[Do you have water on the brain? What the fuck does this have to do with me? I already told the bodyguards to stay out of it.]

[And Su Muyue, you're really vicious too. Do you have to put on such an act just to protect him?]

[I'll give you a million. Hurry up and run off together, will you? Stop torturing me, big brother.]

Tang Yu felt like dying at that moment.

These two people both had something wrong with their brains.

"You're overthinking it. You are only a bodyguard of our Su Family. From today onward, you are fired. Please leave this place immediately."

A hint of anger appeared on Su Muyue's breathtakingly beautiful face as she pointed at the entrance and shouted.

But that anger was not directed only at Ye Chen. It was also directed at Tang Yu.

Why was that bastard still muttering to himself, convinced that she and Ye Chen had gotten together?

The more Su Muyue spoke like that, the sweeter Ye Chen felt inside.

Look, she was protecting me, which was why she was deliberately playing the villain!

She had feelings for me!

As expected of the woman I, the Dragon King, have chosen—cultured, sensible, and understanding.

Thus, the way he looked at Su Muyue gained several degrees of tender indulgence.

The smile on his lips became ever more evil and confident as he said.

"Muyue, I will not leave you. With me by your side, you don't need to worry about so much. The mere Tang Family is nothing."
