Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

“Well said, Big Bro Dali!” Hua Xiangyu loudly shouted.

Even though she was very shy normally, she couldn’t help but applaud for Hong Dali.

Hong Dali only tweaked a few of Zhu Ningyu’s words and returned it to her, this wasn’t something many people could do.

So what if he’s a prodigal? So what if he’s a normal person? When slapping someone’s face, this is how it should be done! To slap them until they can’t even retaliate! If they dare to come and make a scene in our Hong Family, then they should be prepared for this to happen!

“That’s right! Well done!” The younger members of the Hong Family all shouted in unison too.

With Hong Dali’s performance, everything that the Bei and Zhu families had done was completely destroyed. Reason, talent, power, all that they used as an excuse today were all incomparable to Hong Dali.

Everyone was so excited that their hearts were beating violently. What happened today was really dramatic and exciting. Except for Hong Dali, who was scolding in his heart—damn it, forcing me to transform and even use the third move of the sword technique that I just learned, causing me to lose 60 health points and 15 points each from strength, agility, and reflexes. I will make you guys pay this back later!

Also, although this “Monsters Battle Sword Technique” was quite strong and could even cut open Zhu Yunzhou’s shield, the price was still too heavy—unlike the transformation skill which still had a time period, this move would deduct his attribute points each time he used it. Just now, he had already used up 40 plus attribute points for this…

“Good, good!” At this moment, a cold light flashed in Zhu Yunzhou’s eyes as he stared at Hong Dali and said, “The Zhu Family shall remember what you have done today! Honestly speaking, Hong Dali, I really want to kill you right now!” Malicious words came out from his shaking teeth.

Zhu Yunzhou clenched his fists tightly, his eyes burning with flames of anger.

He had indeed ashamed himself today! He came here to renege on the marriage today, but instead of humiliating them, he himself got humiliated. No one could accept such a thing happening on them, especially him as he the Chief of the Zhu Family!

“Why, you want to fight?” Hong Xingyu decisively blocked in front of Hong Dali.

Hong Dali’s power was enough to suppress Zhu Ningyu, but before he went for further education in the Divine College, even if he could cut open Zhu Yunzhou’s shield by catching him off guard, Hong Dali was still definitely not a match for him. Therefore, to prevent Zhu Yunzhou from suddenly attacking Hong Dali, Hong Xingyu was on full alert now.

“Hu—” Fists clenched tight, Zhu Yunzhou slowly exhaled. After a short moment, the malicious look on his face instead changed back to calmness.

Seeing Zhu Yunzhou suddenly keeping his emotions, Hong Xingyu suddenly frowned, an ominous hunch coming from his heart.

“Hong Xingyu.” Zhu Yunzhou suddenly looked towards Hong Xingyu and loudly said, “What Hong Dali said was right. This time, it’s our Zhu Family who’s being reneged on the marriage by the Hong Family. My Ningyu isn’t deserving enough for your Hong Dali, therefore, let’s just cancel the marriage agreement between our two families!”

He actually admitted! He actually admitted that it was the Hong Family who reneged on the marriage!

How was such a thing possible, what was this Zhu Yunzhou thinking?

When everyone was still puzzled, Hong Dali was instead the first one who understood his intention. Then, he looked at Zhu Yunzhou with a hint of a cold smile on his face. This Zhu Yunzhou is indeed impressive, able to let go when needed to. He’s indeed worthy of being the Chief of a family, he’s really not to be underestimated.

“Hong Xingyu, you probably know this.” A cold smile seeped out from the corner of Zhu Yunzhou’s mouth as he said, “In our Shenglong Royal Family, it’s very humiliating to be reneged on marriage in public. Hehe, I am the Chief of the Zhu Family, but I actually suffered such a great shame today. This matter naturally can’t just pass like this. Therefore…” As he spoke up to this point, he suddenly gave an eerie smile which widened until he was laughing out loud. “Hahahaha, Hong Xingyu, prepare to accept the letter of challenge from the Zhu Family! Three months later in City South’s Duel Arena, the covenant of reneging on marriage!”

Covenant of reneging on marriage!

Hearing this phrase, all of the members of the Hong Family were shocked!

This covenant was one of the most serious covenants for the Shenglong Royal Family!

Once a party was being reneged on marriage in public, they could request for this covenant. Then, the two families would completely become mortal enemies, and the Chiefs of the two families would be required to duel to the death in the Shenglong Royal Family’s duel arena. Once one party’s Chief died, the winning party would be allowed to completely wipe out everyone from the losing party!

No one would imagine that Zhu Yunzhou would actually request for the covenant of reneging on marriage!

Hong Xingyu was already high on his years, but Zhu Yunzhou was still in his prime. Therefore, Hong Xingyu’s winning probability was only 40%. And since Zhu Yunzhou dared to mention this covenant, he definitely had other trump cards up his sleeve.

The result of this duel was very unpredictable!

“This Zhu Yunzhou has indeed made a good plan.” Hong Dali squinted his eyes and thought. “This move of using a retreat to make an attack is indeed well played. With his body condition now, he does indeed have a high chance of winning against Great-grandfather. Therefore, even though all of his other plans just now failed, as long as he requested the covenant of reneging on marriage, he can probably reverse the flow of things.”

As expected, the three Elders were all anxious now. Big Elder loudly said, “Chief, you mustn’t accept it! Definitely not!” The Second elder nodded as well and anxiously said, “That’s right, this is obviously their trap, you mustn’t accept it!”

Everyone’s eyes turned towards Hong Xingyu.

Once he accepted this covenant, it couldn’t be changed anymore. It would only end when one party died, the consequence of this was really serious.

But being the Chief of the Hong Family, Hong Xingyu was a person of great power and influence in the past too. But now that he was old, someone came to his doorstep and tried to slap his face. Now, when the person was slapped back in return, if in the end, he didn’t dare to accept the covenant, wouldn’t he become the laughingstock of the entire Royal Family if word of this got out?

“Zhu Yunzhou, three months, is it?” Hong Xingyu laughed and nodded. “Okay, I accept it.”

The entire scene turned quiet.

“Chief!” “Great-grandfather!” All of the members of the Hong Family became nervous. With Hong Xingyu’s current body condition, his chances of winning against Zhu Yunzhou who was still in his prime was quite low!

“Good, hahaha, I shall see you three months later in the City South’s Duel Arena!” Zhu Yunzhou laughed savagely and said, “Old Bei, let’s go! Hahahaha. Get ready to take over all of the Hong Family’s resources, hahaha!”

“Old fellow.” Now that things came to this stage, Bei Mingxuan didn’t even bother to maintain his manners. He looked at Hong Xingyu as if looking at a dead person. “Cherish the last three months of your life, haha!”

Bei Mingxuan and Zhu Yunzhou’s expression were very pleased, but the people from the Hong Family were all very nervous.

“Chief.” Big Elder anxiously said, “It wouldn’t be a problem if you had just tolerated it, why did you bother yourself with them!?”

“Hong Dali, it’s all your fault!” The Second Elder angrily said, “If it wasn’t for you, why would the Chief need to risk his life!? This is the covenant of reneging on marriage, it won’t stop until one party is completely wiped out!”

Hearing the Second Elder’s words, the others all stared at Hong Dali angrily too.

Although they indeed enjoyed how Hong Dali slapped the Zhu and Bei families’ faces just now, now that their Chief accepted the covenant, if he lost…

“A bunch of useless trash!” Hong Xingyu violently stamped his walking stick on the floor and angrily said, “How did a bunch of gutless rascals like you guys appear in our Hong Family!”

“Hahaha, you guys slowly quarrel, we shall return first!” Seeing the Hong Family was going to fight amongst themselves, Bei Mingxuan and Zhu Yunzhou laughed loudly and left. Yet, just as they reached the door, a lazy voice sounded again. “Great-grandfather, I want to buy something from you. You must definitely sell it to me.”
