Chapter 925 “A Celestial Rank Guardian? (2)”
“Ahumph!” the younger brother Xun Huan suddenly chimes in stupidly, “Big brother, when did our family have such rules…”
However, his thoughtless question didn’t even get to finish1 before Yun Feng shot him the deadliest threatening stare this man has ever mustered up in his life. It’s like a knife, piercing and stabbing right into the womanizer’s heart and telling him that if you so much as say another word, I will twist the blade and make it so it becomes as painful and agonizing as it comes.
Chief Wu Wei was watching his two son’s interaction on the side and he’s absolutely relishing in the fact. After all, he’s their old man yet he’s the one being punished heavily like he’s lost all level of respect and status within the family. Ha brat, that’s what you get for inserting yourself in conversations that you don’t belong. Now know how your old man here feels after getting the cold shoulder from everyone!
Thankfully Di Cang didn’t pay attention to the womanizer’s words there. All firm in his stance: “Aside from her wanting to take a male concubine, I can promise her anything, including killing people. I won’t ask the reasoning nor do I care if its right or wrong. If she grabs the knife then I’ll hold it for her. If she wants to protect others then I will be the shield. I will stand by her side for the rest of my life.”
That proclamation finally had an effect on the stubborn father. Showing a relaxed face, Yun Feng even lost the initial hostility he portrayed thus far. “Thirdly, and like you said just now, I want you to be beside her no matter where she goes. You are her shield and I want you to swear by your words, can you do that?”
In this world where gods and demons are considered real, it’s not that farfetched to believe divine retributions would also be real when it comes to an oath.
“Father!” Bai Yan exclaims and wanted to stop this. However, by the time she could react, Di Cang had already raised a hand to say his oath.
“I, Di Cang, solemnly swear by my name as the demon king, that no matter where Yan Yan goes off to, war or wherever else, I will always be by her side and be her shield. Also… I will listen to anything she says and do whatever she wishes me to do.” Then to emphasize his point, the man turns to lock eyes with his own wife, “If I ever violate this oath, let me be damned to eternal hell and bear the burning flames of eternal torture!” Due to how powerful this speech was, it had the immediately effect of winning the female body over.
“Yan Yan, don’t you worry, nothing will happen as long as I don’t break this oath. There won’t be any problem.”
Indeed, although the oath was somewhat vicious in nature, but that’s only under the assumption of him not following his own words….
“My son-in-law said it right. As long as he doesn’t violate the oath then its nonexistent.” Yun Feng guffaws a hearty laugh and lost any semblance of the stern father-in-law image he portrayed earlier, “He’s now my son-in-law. Yan’er, you are much more fortunate than your mother. Your husband is brave and courageous, breaking through any obstacle that comes his way unlike your old man here who did the stupidest mistake ever.”
That year he lost contact with his wife after being tricked into return to the Misty Fairy House, that’s why he couldn’t even begin to fathom what it must’ve been like for Ning’er. Pregnant and alone, bloody and injured…. Just the thought of that image brought a stir of intense pain in the man’s heart.
“Yun Feng…” Chief Wu Wei expresses remorse and got up from his chair after seeing his eldest son’s sorrow, “I am so sorry.”
“Father, this is not entirely your fault, I also played a role in that tragedy back then. I should’ve known better and not left during a crucial time like that.”
The reason why he forced Di Cang to make that oath was also mainly due to his own past. He didn’t want the pair to follow his own path. A father would always be a father, regardless of how little time he spent with Bai Yan. And if this son-in-law doesn’t follow through, he himself would carry out divine punishment in place of the heavens if nothing else.
