The Magnificent Son-in-law

Chapter 364: At the Critical Moment


At this moment, Xiao Feng's feelings were indescribable in words.

On one hand, knowing full well that this was an illusion but still playing along seemed foolish, yet on the other hand, he didn't know how to break this Illusion Technique, so he could only play along and see if he could find a way to break it.

"I'm not a generous person, and this isn't a feudal society. Three wives and four concubines, do you think you're Wei Xiaobao?" Du Qingyue said coldly.

Liu Qingrou, on the other hand, said sadly, "Ah Feng, I know you chose this to comfort me. The person you truly love isn't me; otherwise, you wouldn't have married her, and you have a child together. I'll silently bless you both from a corner you can't see..."

Having said that, before the tears could spill out, Liu Qingrou turned around and ran away into the distance with all her might.

"..." Xiao Feng was silent.

Even though this scene was absurd, seeing Liu Qingrou heartbroken was still unbearable, as if a knife had been plunged into his heart.

Just then, the scene before his eyes suddenly shifted, so fake it couldn't be any faker.

But the scene after the switch made Xiao Feng's gaze turn instantly cold.

He saw Liu Qingrou nestled in a man's arms, whispering softly, while the man caressed her back as if comforting her.

The next moment, the man slowly turned his head.

His face was handsome, like a prince from a fairy tale, elegant and noble, but his gaze at Xiao Feng was full of disdain and mockery.

"Who are you!"

Xiao Feng's pupils contracted, not caring about the false or real, he said coldly, "Let her go! Now! Immediately!"

The man sneered, "How does it feel to see the person you love leaning on someone else's shoulder?

Does it make you angry?

Do you feel an urge to kill me to vent your anger?

Come on then!

If you're a man, come and kill me, stop dilly-dallying!"

"Courting death!"

Xiao Feng shouted angrily, and then habitually pulled out a dagger from his boot, stabbing it toward the man's back.

But at that moment, Liu Qingrou suddenly turned around, spreading her arms to firmly shield the man behind her, her pretty face full of determination, refusing to give an inch!

The man's smile grew even more pronounced, looking at Xiao Feng as if watching a clumsy clown.

"Rou'Er, well done!" the man whispered gently into Liu Qingrou's ear.

After saying that, he looked provocatively at Xiao Feng, his eyes seemed to say: Come on, if you've got the guts, come over and kill me!

"Rou'Er is not someone you can call!" Xiao Feng's eyes burned with even more fury, his halted steps resumed, determined to take down the other party in one blow!

At this moment, he even forgot that this scene could never happen in reality.

But this is quite a normal phenomenon, like waking up from a dream and recalling the people and things in the dream. Even though knowing it's fake, the mood can't help but be somewhat affected.

...

After twenty minutes of battle, the situation on the field was already extremely precarious.

The little girl and Lu Yao, along with Lin Zhiyan and Lin Jiaxuan, were all injured.

Among the four of them, the little girl and Lu Yao were especially seriously injured, as they had been attacking like they didn't care for their lives from the start, completely abandoning defense.

As for Fujiwara Keiaki on the other side, things were not optimistic either. He intended to play a cat-and-mouse game with Uesugi Yumi but unfortunately, the conditions simply did not allow it.

Once Fujiwara Keiaki concealed his presence, Uesugi Yumi would immediately target the little girl and others, forcing Fujiwara Keiaki to engage her head-on. If this continued, the battle would end in just over ten minutes.

Just then, Lin Jiaxuan caught a glimpse of Xiao Feng beginning to move.

At first, she thought it was an illusion, but a closer look confirmed he was truly moving.

"Xiao Feng!" Lin Jiaxuan exclaimed in surprise.

Although she usually didn't get along with Xiao Feng, the moment he recovered, the situation would reverse immediately. This was undoubtedly a great thing.

Attracted by this shout, there was a brief pause on the battlefield, everyone stopped fighting and looked toward Xiao Feng in unison.

Xiao Feng slowly raised his dagger, but his movements were very slow and stiff, completely inconsistent with his usual swift and decisive style.

"Brother Xiao Feng!"

"Brother Huang!"

The little girl and Lu Yao were beyond delighted, their long-hanging hearts gradually settling back in place, relieved that he was alright.

Iwakami Shigehiro's expression changed instantly, saying incredulously, "Lord Uesugi, that bastard actually broke free from your Illusion Technique?"

Uesugi Yumi did not reply, just smiled bizarrely; he moved, it's better if he moves!

Not afraid of him moving, it's the lack of movement that was worrisome.

Catching this smile, Fujiwara Keiaki promptly reminded, "Something's not right! Xiao Feng hasn't broken the Illusion Technique yet, don't be careless!"

Just as the words fell, something unexpected happened...

Xiao Feng raised his hand and suddenly flipped his wrist, aiming the tip of the dagger at his own heart, and without hesitation, stabbed downward.

"No!"

The little girl's eyes widened, letting out a hoarse shout, rushing toward Xiao Feng desperately, but it was clearly too late to stop it.

Lu Yao and Lin Zhiyan were completely speechless, how could someone like Xiao Feng suddenly want to commit suicide!

And Iwakami Shigehiro's eyes lit up with joy, his heart surging with an indescribable thrill, like the exhilarating satisfaction of avenging a great grudge, almost making him want to leap up, clap, cheer, or even strip and dance.

"Pa!"

It was as if something shattered.

Looking again at Xiao Feng, the dagger piercing his clothing stopped, as if blocked, unable to go deeper.

"Brother Xiao Feng, wake up quickly!"

The little girl shouted hoarsely, seeing Xiao Feng still not returning to normal, she resolutely grabbed his arm, pulled up the sleeve, and bit down hard.

Immediately, tears streamed down her pretty face, as if she were the one being bitten.

In an instant, clarity returned to Xiao Feng's eyes, then gradually, his original spirit came back.

Iwakami Shigehiro was dumbfounded, looking at Xiao Feng as if watching a dormant beast slowly awaken, his heart sinking to the bottom, as thrilled as he was moments ago, equally regretful now.

Uesugi Yumi also found this scene unbelievable, could it be this guy was wearing something like Heart Protection Armor inside?

"Hiss... it hurts!" Xiao Feng gasped, grimacing.

The little girl was stunned for a moment, then ecstatic, hugged the person in front of her tightly, crying, "Brother Xiao Feng, you finally woke up, sob sob sob..."

Xiao Feng patted the little girl's back, looking at the dust on her face and the hoarseness of her voice that made one's heart ache, took a deep breath and said, "Don't cry, watch me get back at them for you!"
