Chapter 1057: The Face Smacking ContinuesTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Clearly, Hong Dali was determined to continue disgracing her. He smiled again. “Sister Nianwei, step out!”
“Young Master, I"m here.” Li Nianwei smiled gently as she walked toward Hong Dali. She put her arms around Hong Dali"s other arm. Hong Dali laughed and said, “This is my second wife. In terms of beauty or figure, I"m afraid you"re a little under par. Hehe.”
“h.e.l.lo, Miss Ningyu.” Li Nianwei decisively added insult to injury. “Our Young Master has plenty of beautiful women around him. It was not easy for me to become the Young Master"s woman. Even if you wish to marry him, I"m afraid you have a long way to go.”
Li Nianwei was usually gentle and like a big sister to everyone. But she was not weak in putting others down as well.
What she said was true. She had gone through so much with Hong Dali before she could become Hong Dali"s woman.
This Zhu Ningyu actually wanted to call off the marriage arrangement? Even if she threw a tantrum wanting to marry Hong Dali, would he take a second look at her?
Indeed, Zhu Ningyu"s expression changed. Zhu Yunzhou"s expression turned green as well.
His own daughter was being criticized in front of so many people. The most hateful thing was that she was so cruelly compared to others. That was enough to make him feel depressed.
However, Hong Dali was not done. “Miss Qianxue, step out!”
“Here.” Jiang Qianxue"s face was red with embarra.s.sment and her heart was pounding. She had been worried that Hong Dali would not mention her. Now, he actually called her out. She walked toward Hong Dali with her racing heart. “Dali, I"m here.”
“This is Miss Qianxue,” Hong Dali looked at Zhu Ningyu and revealed two beautiful eye teeth. “Galaxy Aristocrat. En, it sounds like a rural place. I was a country b.u.mpkin when I first arrived at Milky Way Alliance. Miss Qianxue is an authentic Galaxy Aristocrat. Did Miss Qianxue know at that time?”
“Of course.” It was the first time Jiang Qianxue felt like she knew what Hong Dali was thinking. “You might think that these people"s family backgrounds are not comparable with yours, right? I can tell you, when Hong Dali first arrived at Milky Way Alliance, he was just an ordinary civilian. And I"m an authentic Galaxy Aristocrat. The gap between our status was like Heaven and Earth. Even so, when I went after him, he didn"t even take it to heart.
“Do you think that you"re very great because you"re royalty? I can tell you, even if Dali was a civilian, he wouldn"t have any eyes for you. Not to mention that he is now royalty. Status means nothing to him. I fought for a place in his heart. The journey was filled with frustrations and hards.h.i.+p…”
Speaking up to this point, she looked at Hong Dali gently, then lowered her head, embarra.s.sed.
Loud and clear!
Everyone was dumbfounded. Miss Qianxue was not faking it. A civilian with a Galaxy Aristocrat. Others were well aware of the gap in status. And she actually said that she took the initiative to go after Hong Dali, and Hong Dali did not take it to heart?
“Beautifully said!” Hong Xingyu praised her. “Daughters-in-law of our Hong Family should be resolute like that!”
“Hehe.” Hong Dali looked at Zhu Ningyu and said, “Sometimes, one should not be too confident. They would become a laughing stock.” He shouted again. “Sister Zhang Yi, step out!”
“Here!” Zhang Yi walked over shyly and stood beside Hong Dali. “Dali.”
“Tell her who you are.” Hong Dali chuckled.
“Alright.” Zhang Yi lifted her head and shouted at Zhu Ningyu, “Zhang Yi, member of the Holy Grail, genetic expert, next in line for the Zerg Queen of Blades, Dali"s, Dali"s… little lover!”
Boom…
When she said that, chaos ensued!
Everyone might not know what members of the Holy Grail meant. A genetic expert was not very special, either. But next in line of the Zerg Queen of Blades, that was something!
One should know that the Zergs" survival mode was different from humans. Zerg individuals had little intelligence, and the Queen of Blades was their brain. It was no exaggeration to say that if the Zergs were compared with human society, the Queen of Blades was the emperor of the Zergs, and it was absolutely paramount!
Just ability itself was still okay. The Shenglong Royal Family was not too bad themselves. But the Zergs had one of the most powerful combat individuals, King Zerg! Although the Golden Emperor Beetle was more powerful, it was scarce, after all. The King Zergs could be ma.s.s-produced as long as there were Health gems!
Not only this, King Zergs could merge with humans to become King Knights. This could be ma.s.s-produced as well!
When the King Knights fused with a Soul Stone, their abilities would be even more horrifying.
Hence, when everyone heard that Zhang Yi was the next in line for the Queen of Blades, they were dumbfounded!
What kind of background did this Hong Dali have? He was so good at hiding his ability?!
Zhu Ningyu"s expression became even worse.
Each of these women beside Hong Dali was better than the previous one. Even if she was born royalty, that could not cover up Hong Dali"s glory by any bit!
It was not the end. Hong Dali continued to sneer. “Chuyin, step out!”
“Oh.” Lin Chuyin walked out slowly. She usually obeyed what Hong Dali said. She looked at Zhu Ningyu, expressionless. “I"m not interested in this kind of person with a low IQ.”
Then, she actually stood beside Hong Dali and took out a bunch of small devices and began playing with them…
It was still bearable to suffer setbacks. But to be completely ignored, Zhu Ningyu could not take it anymore.
Her expression became black as she took a step forward. There was a vicious smile on her face as she sneered. “Hong Dali, I have to say that you are indeed quite capable. I"ve underestimated you. But, since we can stand here today…”
Speaking up to this point, a terrifying aura emitted from her!
This aura was nothing to members of the Hong Family, but Hong Xingyu and Hua Yueling"s expressions became serious as they said, “Star Sector-level!”
Yes, this strong aura was exactly Star Sector-level! There seemed to be a horrifying aura all around. The power was suffocating.
“That"s why. That"s why you had to guts to see us face-to-face to call off the wedding today.” Hong Xingyu"s expression was grave. “Zhu Ningyu, you are able to become Star Sector-level so quickly, your talent is comparable to our Hua Xiangyu. Although I have reservations about your character, your talent surprises me.”
Zhu Yunzhou said c.o.c.kily, “Hehe, our Ningyu"s talent compared to Hong Dali is like Heaven and Earth!”
The hearts of everyone from the Hong Family sank.
Bei Yuanqing was extremely talented in martial arts. Now, Zhu Ningyu"s talent was as high. It might not make a difference to the people in the current generation, but the key lied in their descendants!
Why was the Hong Family able to become the head of the three families? The main reason was the unification of Hong Xingyu and Hua Yueling! They were both geniuses. Hence, their son Hong Jun was the genius among the geniuses! Hong Jun was only sixteen when he achieved Third Order Star Sector-level! Third Order Star Sector-level!
At that time, the Bei Family and the Zhu Family did not dare to show up in front of the Hong Family, because they knew that if they angered the Hong Family, once Hong Jun became an adult, he would definitely be able to bring both the families down with his strength!
Hence, they did not have the guts.
But later, Hong Jun became ill and disappeared. That was when the Bei Family and the Zhu Family came to be so c.o.c.ky. If Hong Jun was around, would they have dared to approach the Hong Family on their own today? They would be beaten up upside down any second!
Zhu Ningyu looked at Hua Xiangyu briefly and humphed. Then, she turned around to look at Hong Dali. Her tone was extremely calm. “Now, do you understand?”
“Ah?” Hong Dali said curiously, “Understand what?”
“The gap between you and me is so high, millions of light-years apart. Although the women beside you are all very outstanding, that"s about it.” Zhu Ningyu stared into Hong Dali"s eyes and said condescendingly, “I"m different. My life has just begun. Your life is nothing compared to mine. We are fated to be two parallel lines, our paths will never cross. Hence, no matter what you do or say today, nothing can cover up the great differences between us.”
At this moment, everyone"s attention was on Zhu Ningyu.
Her words made everyone breathe heavily. She was right. No matter how outstanding the women beside Hong Dali was, he could not hide the fact that he was just an ordinary person.
An ordinary person, a prodigal at that, whose marriage arrangement was called off by the other party. No matter what, they were poles apart. The person who got their marriage arrangement called off, was definitely Hong Dali!
“Haha, Hong Xingyu, Chief Hong.” Bei Yuanqing laughed out loud. His voice was so loud the roofs trembled. “Your Hong Family was indeed very powerful. You and Hua Yueling are both very talented as well. We can"t deny that. It"s a pity, your glory is nearing its end. How many more years do you have to live? Once our Yuanqing and Ningyu unify, they will be at the peak of their age. And when they have children, in addition to the fact that your Hong Family has no descendants, the then genius Hong Jun has died, it would not take them more than a couple of years to replace your position among the top three royal families.”
“You!” Hong Xingyu"s expression changed!
Hong Jun was his forever pain. This was his Achilles heel! Hong Xingyu would not let anyone who dared mention Hong Jun in this tone off so easily!
“Zhu Yunzhou, just from this sentence,” Hong Xingyu"s eyes emitted a terrifying coldness. “I will remember what happened today!”
“So what if you remember it?” Zhu Yunzhou was infinitely arrogant. He said with his ever-gentle voice, “In terms of strength, we and the Bei Family might not have been your match. But now, hehe…”
The expressions of everyone from the Hong Family looked awful.
Their att.i.tude now was clearly “I"ll step all over your head since you can"t beat me”. Just as there was no one exceptionally outstanding in the Hong Family"s current generation. Hua Xiangyu was still too young.
“Haha.” At this moment, Hong Dali suddenly laughed. Zhu Ningyu turned around only to see a smile in Hong Dali"s eyes. “It seems you are rather confident. However, I would like to ask you what made you so confident. Do you think that I would not be comparable to Zhu Ningyu?”
