Chapter 1229: Chu Feng's Group of Fathers-in-Law

Chu Feng’s expression was peculiar, his gaze unfocused. "A group of fathers-in-law?!"

His heart pounded uncontrollably, its rhythm quickening. Where had all these potential fathers-in-law come from? Had heaven opened its eyes and bestowed a great blessing upon him?

He had clearly heard some calling their precious daughters princesses, while others referred to their granddaughters as celestial maidens. All of them seemed to come from incredibly powerful backgrounds!

Chu Feng was in a daze. Not long ago, at the Path Integration Grand Gathering, he had gone around the entire venue recognizing potential brothers-in-law. Had the heavens truly seen his efforts and now granted his wish?

It was truly a dilemma; whom should he choose?

Over a dozen fathers-in-law, each from an incredibly powerful background, exuded terrifying auras. They were all veteran God-Kings, and they had all come to recognize Cao De as their son-in-law.

Chu Feng was genuinely a little dizzy. This kind of "happiness" had come too suddenly.

As for Six-Eared Macaque Mi Hong, Peng Wanli, and Xiao Yao, they briefly doubted their lives. Was there any fairness left? The heavenly dao was unjust!

So many veteran God-Kings, all from prestigious families, had actually come to find Cao De, scrambling to recognize him as their son-in-law.

Had they not seen the few of them standing right there? The others felt indignant.

Mi Tian, naturally, considered himself the Monkey King; his Six-Eared Macaque lineage was incredibly powerful and rare in the world, yet he was ignored.

Peng Wanli, like a peacock fanning its tail, revealed his true form. His golden-winged great roc appearance was exceptionally splendid, with myriad golden rays illuminating the void. He was exceptionally valiant and mighty.

However, the few of them were all ignored. Over a dozen veteran powerhouses, whose accomplishments defied creation, had all set their sights on Cao De, beaming with smiles and calling out enthusiastically.

“Worthy son-in-law, come here, don't miss out on this excellent marriage.”

“Old man, stay away from my son-in-law! This is the companion my precious princess has chosen. Do you want to start a war with my clan to snatch him?!”

“Old Taotie, you’re too overbearing! This is my worthy son-in-law. Do you want to fight me?!”

The Monkey, Peng Wanli, and the others were utterly bewildered. What kind of luck had Cao De stumbled upon? A group of powerful families had come... to snatch a son-in-law!

They really wanted to say, “Esteemed elders, please open your eyes. Haven't you noticed there are a few handsome young men here? With exceptional talent and unparalleled charisma, why are we not getting any attention?”

Six-Eared Macaque, Xiao Yao, and the others were very displeased, feeling it was utterly unfair!

However, soon their eyelids began to twitch, and then they were horrified. After careful scrutiny, they were genuinely terrified, recognizing a few old individuals from extremely significant backgrounds.

At this point, the few of them realized that some of these clans had terrifying origins, enough to make their own families tremble.

In an instant, the Monkey, Peng Wanli, and Xiao Yao all began to sympathize with Chu Feng. This son-in-law position was not easy to hold; it was hard to say if it was a splendid blessing or a nightmare.

For example, the Taotie Clan had arrived. They were a terrifying clan of great demons among beast races. A God-King from this clan would be embarrassed to leave their home if they hadn't swallowed several God-Kings of the same level.

It was said that the Nine-Headed Bird Clan ate people without spitting out bones, but compared to the Taotie Clan, that was just a drop in the bucket.

They swallowed everything without spitting it out, digesting it completely, leaving not even a single hair.

The most outrageous part was that five hundred years ago, a pearl of this clan accidentally swallowed her groom on their wedding night, becoming a widow the very next day.

Furthermore, the Devouring God Tree Clan had also arrived. They were extremely brutal. Don't let the emerald hair and extraordinary God-King aura of the middle-aged man deceive you; once he revealed his true form, it would be a horrific sight, undoubtedly with overwhelming blood energy and pervasive corpse aura.

In the wilderness, there were man-eating flowers, but on the Blood-Colored Plateau of the Yang Realm, there were Devouring God Trees!

In their clan's habitat, they all manifested their true forms, becoming towering trees.

Normally, every Devouring God Tree was covered in hanging corpses, and all of them were gods, suspended from their branches!

This clan fed on gods, making them one of the fiercest families among plant-based evolvers!

The Monkey and the others immediately shuddered, thinking it best to keep their distance from such a "blessing," preferably leaving it all for Cao De!

Chu Feng, still unaware, was so happy his steps were a little unsteady. What was this situation? A group of fathers-in-law had all arrived and singled him out?

He guessed it must be related to his performance at the Path Integration Grand Gathering.

In ancient times, there was the practice of "snatching a groom" from under the examination list; it was quite realistic even now.

This grand gathering was akin to a major examination, and he had "tested" so well that he had caught everyone's attention.

Chu Feng smiled, truly a little intoxicated by the stimulating atmosphere.

He even thought that with so many powerful clans coming together to choose him as a son-in-law, perhaps he could now ignore the Nine-Headed Bird Clan?

If the Nine-Headed Bird Clan really wanted to deal with him, he could simply close the door, unleash his fathers-in-law, and fight that clan to the death. He didn't believe they couldn't handle them.

Chu Feng was truly getting carried away, feeling light-headed. He was now surrounded by a group of fathers-in-law like stars circling the moon. Some tugged at his arm, others grabbed his wrist, and some even slung their arms around his shoulders.

He really wanted to say, "What is this behavior? If things really work out, it would be a father-in-law and son-in-law relationship, and this kind of familiarity isn't quite appropriate."

“Worthy son-in-law, come with me! Once you enter my clan, resources will pile up like mountains, making you a god in a short time, and then you'll look down upon the world!”

A very fat old man said this. His belly was indeed quite large, and his face was shiny, almost giving the impression of a large, greasy head.

This was a God-King, so why was his belly thicker than a water vat? Couldn't they easily refine essence into qi? Why hadn't he refined it away? Chu Feng was puzzled.

He cautiously and carefully asked the old man which clan he was from.

“This old man is from the Canopy Clan, and my daughter is very fond of you!” The old man introduced, his face glowing with health, his large belly jiggling, as he pulled Chu Feng, refusing to let go.

Chu Feng wanted to say, "Your daughter hasn't even met me, so how can she be fond of me? Isn't this just your idea?"

However, when he heard that this old man was from the Heavenly Roc Clan, he felt quite good about it. After all, it was the same clan as Peng Wanli, a familiar connection.

Chu Feng immediately greeted Peng Wanli, who was not far away, with a smile, saying, “Old Xiao, this is from your clan! Could this elder’s daughter be your exceptionally talented cousin?”

His face was full of anticipation, and he was very happy and joyful.

Peng Wanli was expressionless, seemingly unwilling to say much, simply telling him, “No!”

“What’s with that expression? Are you unhappy just because it’s not your cousin?” Chu Feng asked.

Peng Wanli’s face twitched. In the end, he couldn’t bear it and showed a sympathetic expression, briefly explaining the situation: he wasn’t familiar with this elder, and they weren’t from the same clan.

“How are you not familiar? Aren’t you both from the Heavenly Roc Clan?!” Chu Feng questioned, then called out to ask.

“This old man is from the Canopy Clan!” Next to Chu Feng, the old man, beaming with joy, casually corrected him.

Chu Feng was suspicious, looking at the old man, then at Peng Wanli, who remained silent, his mouth tightly shut.

Finally, Peng Wanli felt a chill under Chu Feng’s gaze. With a look of unbearable sympathy, he silently wrote words in the void, revealing the truth.

“The Canopy Clan?!” Chu Feng’s hair immediately stood on end.

His first thought was of the mythical legend from the Lesser Underworld, Marshal Canopy!

My heavens! He stumbled, nearly falling to the ground in fright. There really was such a clan in the Yang Realm? Descendants of Bajie?

And they wanted to marry him?!

Soon, he understood. The so-called Canopy Clan was actually another name for the Monstrous Wild Boar Clan. After a supreme expert from their clan broke through and led them to become the Monstrous Wild Boar Clan, they found the name undignified, so they renamed themselves "Canopy."

Chu Feng trembled, his wrist clutched by this old boar. His face was practically green.

He couldn't choose this one as a father-in-law even if it killed him! He wished he could run away immediately.

Earlier, he had been light-headed, thinking heaven had blessed him and that this "happiness" had come too suddenly. Now, his heart and liver were trembling erratically.

Beside him, an old man with steel-needle-like black hair and a fierce, bristling beard on his face opened his bloody maw and said to Chu Feng, “Worthy son-in-law, don't be afraid. If you're going to marry into a family, it must be mine, definitely not that old boar’s home.”

Chu Feng looked at his wild appearance, and his little heart trembled again. What kind of race was this? They were too close for him to use his Fiery Golden Eyes.

Someone said, “Worthy son-in-law, you mustn't go! You can’t choose that old man’s daughter. Do you know who he is? A Taotie! Daughters of their clan even swallow their companions on their wedding night!”

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng glanced again at the mighty old man with the steel-needle-like hair. He truly felt his hair stand on end. This father-in-law was also out of the question.

He looked at the emerald-haired, very valiant middle-aged man beside him, thinking that this God-King seemed more reliable. At least his appearance was handsome, so his daughter probably wouldn’t be bad either.

The old Taotie immediately became displeased, saying, “Old man from the Devouring God Tree Clan, who are you talking about? Are you so good yourself? Come, come, old friends, let’s all use our power to make him reveal his true form and show our son-in-law what the Devouring God Tree Clan looks like.”

As he spoke, several old kings truly joined forces, pressuring the green-haired middle-aged man. They suppressed him so much that he instantly swayed, and with a hum, a phantom appeared.

A towering ancient tree manifested. Its branches were covered with hanging corpses. Blood energy surged, and corpse mist was thick. It was a truly horrific sight.

Chu Feng’s face turned green. This valiant middle-aged man’s true form actually had many corpses hanging from it?

The old Taotie said, “Do you know what a Devouring God Tree is? It feeds on gods, consuming at least one god every day!”

“Worthy son-in-law, don't be afraid, these are just food,” the Devouring God Tree transmitted mentally.

In an instant, Chu Feng’s hair stood on end with a whoosh. He felt a chill creep up his spine. He would never judge by appearance again, even if it killed him.

Furthermore, he felt that this was no splendid blessing at all; it was clearly a bottomless pit. He wished he could escape immediately.

What kind of fathers-in-law were these? Canopy, Taotie, Devouring God Tree... each more unreliable than the last, all fierce and terrifying. In short, unacceptable.

Other old God-Kings introduced themselves; some were from the Devil Clan, others from the Bone Clan. Just hearing their names made Chu Feng feel uneasy all over.

Of course, there were also members of divine families, and very impressive ones at that, such as the Winged Heaven Clan and the Light Clan. They were powerful races renowned throughout the Yang Realm, and their members were generally beautiful and exceptionally transcendent.

Just as Chu Feng harbored a slight glimmer of hope, a voice called out from afar, “Dad, I’m here.”

“Father, may your daughter come over?”

A woman was transmitting a message.

Then, Chu Feng saw the old man from the Canopy Clan, his face flushed, his large belly protruding, shouting, “Come, my precious daughter!”

In addition, the God-Kings from the Taotie Clan and the Devouring God Tree Clan were also responding. Their daughters seemed to have arrived too.

At this moment, Chu Feng’s scalp tingled. This kind of "happiness" was unbearable. He immediately wanted to run away. He couldn't stay in this place; it was practically scaring him to death.

In an instant, he understood: this was retribution. Not long ago, at the Path Integration Grand Gathering, he had gone around the entire venue recognizing potential elder brothers-in-law. Now, all sorts of karmic consequences were knocking on his door.

His face twitched. Was this also considered heaven opening its eyes? To bestow such a gift upon him, with retribution arriving at his doorstep.

“Esteemed seniors, please release me for a moment. I need to speak with the Monkey!”

Chu Feng, his face pale, pleaded.

The group of fathers-in-law were all very reasonable. They immediately let go, granting his wish.

Because they were all very confident: this son-in-law couldn't run away. With such a large group of them, all veteran God-Kings, who could snatch Cao De away here?

Chu Feng rushed to the side of the Monkey and the others, almost on the verge of tears and snot. This was so agonizing; he had been thoroughly tricked. He wanted to push the Monkey, Peng Wanli, and Xiao Yao over en masse, replacing himself with them!

When he saw Mi Qing secretly enjoying herself nearby, Chu Feng’s eyes lit up. He grabbed Mi Qing’s arm tightly and refused to let go.

“What do you want to do?” the Monkey immediately panicked.

Mi Qing was also annoyed and said, “Cao De, let go!”
