"Kid, I know you're resentful, but the Immortal Cultivation Realm is cruel. You need to learn to face reality, not rage helplessly."
Liu Wudi, the Red-Haired Oboi Ao Bai, glanced at Wang Teng and said disdainfully.
"Also, we're here to inform you, not to discuss things with you."
Liu Ruyan walked up to Wang Teng, sighed, and handed him the marriage certificate. "Sign the annulment agreement!"
All eyes were on Wang Teng.
Ling Yi was also very curious about what his grown son would do next.
Wang Teng immediately gave a crooked smile.
He then snatched the marriage certificate, unfolded it, and looked at it.
" Liu Ruyan, this marriage certificate was agreed upon by my Wang Family and your Liu Clan's ancestor, right?" Wang Teng asked.
"Yes!" Liu Ruyan frowned and nodded, wondering what Wang Teng was going to do next.
Hopefully, this guy won't be ungrateful.
Otherwise, don't blame her for disregarding past relationships.
There is no real affection between us. Our past relationship was only because of this marriage certificate, which you had no choice but to accept."
"And we both know perfectly well how you've treated me on a daily basis."
"That's true, I have absolutely no feelings for you."
Liu Ruyan is all about looks; Wang Teng is just too ordinary-looking.
So ordinary that you'd easily lose your way in a crowd.
Sometimes, Liu Ruyan even doubted whether Wang Teng was actually Wang Yue's biological son.
Even though Wang Yue is over forty years old, he is still very handsome. In his youth, he was the most famous young master in White Jade City.
Why did she have to give birth to a son, and why does he look like this?
Moreover, Liu Ruyan also knew that Wang Teng didn't have much affection for her either.
The two are not only incompatible in appearance, but also in their values.
Liu Ruyan wanted to talk about poetry and songs, but Wang Teng wanted to talk about which restaurant had the best pig's trotters.
Liu Ruyan wanted to play the zither and flute to express her refined tastes, but Wang Teng told her about a pig that had given birth.
They're not on the same wavelength at all.
Every time the two of them were together, they felt very awkward.
But because of this marriage certificate, the two of them knew from a young age that they would be together sooner or later.
So I kept enduring it.
Or rather, trying to adapt to each other and make do with each other.
But as it turns out, matters of the heart cannot be forced.
This year happens to be the year of the Holy Maiden of the Mysterious Sacred Sect.
Liu Ruyan met all the requirements, so she could use the opportunity of participating in the selection of the Holy Maiden to dissolve the marriage contract.
"What exactly are you trying to say?" Liu Ruyan frowned.
Wang Teng then unfolded the marriage certificate, showing the written side to Liu Ruyan.
"Look closely, this marriage certificate clearly states that it is a marriage contract between you Liu Ruyan, and my Wang Family, not a marriage contract between Liu Ruyan and me, Wang Teng."
"Come, look at the last two lines. These are the vows left by our two families' ancestors on the marriage certificate."
"If the marriage certificate is destroyed, the Wang and Liu families will be punished by Heavenly Dao."
A marriage certificate can be peacefully dissolved, but it cannot be destroyed directly.
This is a restriction specifically left by the ancestors of both families when they signed the marriage contract.
The concern is that both families might force the cancellation of the marriage agreement.
"Tell me, what would happen if I tore up the marriage certificate right now?" Wang Teng continued with a crooked smile.
"How dare you?" Liu Wudi in anger.
In fact, the reason why the Liu Clan allowed Liu Ruyan to associate with Wang Teng, that good-for-nothing, was precisely because of this.
The punishment of Heavenly Dao is not merely a simple vow.
Heavenly Punishment will truly come.
In this world, you can make any oath you want, but you must never casually include the words "the Heavenly Dao" in your oath.
"Why wouldn't I dare? You've all come to annul the engagement, what's there for me to be afraid of?" Wang Teng said disdainfully.
At the same time, they held the marriage certificate high.
"Old Deng, I advise you to watch your voice and speak more politely, otherwise I'll tear up the marriage certificate."
"My Wang Family has declined, but your Liu Clan is large and powerful. You should think this through."
"I don't believe you dare." Although Liu Wudi said this, his voice was much softer.
"Those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose. You'll see if I dare to do it." Wang Teng pretended to tear it.
"What exactly do you want?" Liu Ruyan asked at this moment.
"If the marriage certificate is not dissolved, I must marry you within three days as agreed, but there is no love between us."
Wang Teng shook his head and said, "I didn't say you wanted to marry me. Our values and beliefs are completely incompatible. If we force ourselves to be together, we probably won't be able to live together in the future."
"Then let's annul the marriage certificate. I promise to give your Wang Family some compensation," Liu Wudi said.
"The marriage certificate cannot be dissolved."
"If you don't want to marry me, and my daughter doesn't want to marry you, what exactly do you want?"
At this moment, Wang Teng pointed at Ling Yi.
" Liu Ruyan, marry my father."
Ling Yi remained expressionless; he had already anticipated this outcome.
Ling Yi instinctively wanted to refuse.
Just then, the voice of the Kind Father Favorability System rang in Ling Yi's mind.
[Host, this Liu Ruyan is the woman of Karmic Luck in this world. Marrying her will grant you a portion of her Karmic Luck.]
[If you can raise Liu Ruyan's Affection to 200%, you will possess Liu Ruyan's Karmic Luck a hundredfold.]
[At that time, the host Heaven-Overflowing Karmic Luck fortune Heavenly Dao favor, everything will go smoothly, and all wishes will be fulfilled.]
Is it really that amazing?
Why don't you give it a try?
However, my son's condition seems a bit off today!
According to the original owner's memories, Wang Teng wasn't that brave.
At that moment, everyone in the hall was shocked by Wang Teng's words.
Good heavens, he's giving his wife to his Old Man?
What kind of monstrosity is this?
Liu Ruyan glanced at Ling Yi, and for some reason, she didn't feel much resistance to Wang Teng's suggestion.
After all, Ling Yi's good looks speak for themselves.
He was really handsome.
But, would she agree to that?
At the very least, you shouldn't agree to it willingly.
"You bastard! Wang Yue is almost fifty, and you want my daughter to marry this old man?" Liu Wudi roared in fury.
He unleashed the aura of Late Foundation Establishment.
Immediately, everyone in the hall was so shocked that they took a few steps back.
Wang Teng, who was closest to the impact, was thrown backward by the shockwave.
It only stopped after crashing into a stone pillar.
Then a mouthful of blood spurted out, landing squarely on the marriage certificate.
" Liu Wudi, you dare to hurt my son, you're asking for death!" Ling Yi rushed down at this moment with a furious expression.
They looked ready to fight to the death.
Since it's a father-son affair, they have to put on an act.
What's more, he also has a Loving Father System!
"You're courting death! Everyone in your Wang Family deserves to die. Today, I'll wipe out your Wang Family and save you a lot of trouble."
Liu Wudi, the Red-Haired Oboi, was by nature a man with a violent temper.
Having been manipulated by a good-for-nothing like Wang Teng for so long, he was already fed up.
In a moment of impulsiveness, he attacked Ling Yi with deadly force.
Wang Yue was only at the Liquid Condensation Realm.
That slap would either kill or seriously injure someone.
"Father, no!" Liu Ruyan exclaimed in alarm, quickly trying to stop him.
" Liu Wudi, stop!" Wang Teng roared.
But it was clearly too late.
Ling Yi was sent flying backwards like a kite with a broken string.
He collapsed on the steps below the main seat, coughing up a mouthful of blood.
"Boss, are you alright? How about we level up your cultivation first? There's no need to go through this."
[Host, we still have 40,000 years of cultivation time, don't be stingy.]
[bite...]
The three systems also spoke out one after another.
Ling Yi stopped him, saying, "Wait a minute, don't rush. We're the Protagonist. As long as we're not dead, we have a chance to turn the tables."
Just then, the sky outside suddenly darkened.
Immediately afterwards, everyone felt a great terror descend upon them.
The Wang Family and Liu Clan, in particular, felt as if a great calamity was about to befall them.
"Liu, invincible!" Wang Teng roared angrily, holding up the marriage certificate with both hands, each word distinct and forceful.
"You dare hurt my father? I'll make your Liu Clan pay with their lives!"
At this moment, a corner of the marriage certificate in his hand had already been torn.
