The protagonist stole my spiritual root? Hey, heroine, give birth to me!

Chapter 563 Duan Fei Apologizes!

"Speak, what do you mean by 'poisonous writing'?" Chen Xuan frowned.

"Ding! In the world of novels, there are eunuch stories, and naturally there are also toxic stories!"

"Why can't I access the 'good articles' section? So you mean the main characters' personalities and temperaments, and their attitudes towards the female lead...!!"

"Wait a minute, is the plot of this toxic novel about giving a girl away to someone else? Is it a so-called 'giving away a girl' novel? If that's the case, hehehe!"

"Ding, the plot needs to be triggered by the host himself. The system will only notify you when changes occur."

"..."

"What a spoilsport, go away!" Chen Xuan said, turning his gaze toward Yu Guili.

However, while he was talking to the system, Yu Guili and Duan Fei said something, and now the two of them have come to Chen Xuan and Yun Ziling together.

"Chen Xuan, kneel down and apologize to me! I might consider not beating you up!" Duan Fei's arrogant voice could be heard from afar.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan patted the person next to him, Xiao Qiao, on the shoulder. (Let's see if there's a class representative here.)

Yun Ziling blushed instantly, and then awkwardly stood in front of Chen Xuan.

"Duan Fei, what nonsense are you spouting! Do you even know what you're doing?! How can you still be so stubborn? Apologize to Young Master Chen Xuan right now!"

"Ling'er! Why won't you believe me! I've already told you..."

"Shut up! I'm giving you one last chance. If you don't apologize to Young Master Chen Xuan, then... then we'll get a divorce!" Yun Ziling's tone was firm, and at the same time, there was a hint of expectation in her eyes.

She hoped Duan Fei would make a move, so that she could truly divorce him, and then...

Thinking of this, Yun Ziling glanced shyly at Chen Xuan.

'He just hit me, so he must... he must be interested in me! As long as I regain my freedom, I'll tell Chen Xuan... brother, I've never had contact with any other man besides him...'

Upon hearing Yun Ziling's resolute words "divorce," a flicker of panic crossed Duan Fei's face.

He instinctively reached out to pull Yun Ziling, but Yun Ziling dodged to the side, which made him feel as if he had been struck by lightning.

"Ling'er, don't... don't be impulsive, I was wrong." Duan Fei said in a trembling voice, his hands hanging limply at his sides.

Then, he slowly raised his right hand and slapped himself hard across the face with a loud "smack." The slap was extremely powerful, instantly leaving a bright red handprint on his face.

"I shouldn't have acted impulsively, shouldn't have caused trouble at the banquet, and even more so, shouldn't have been rude to Chen Xuan."

As Duan Fei spoke, he slapped himself several times in succession, each slap mercilessly. Soon, his cheeks swelled up, and to make it look more realistic, he even forced a trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth.

'Hmm, I can give up my pride for my wife, I can give up everything, I am definitely the most perfect good man in the world! I suppose my wife has already changed her opinion of me by now, right?' Duan Fei thought to himself, feeling a sense of self-satisfaction.

Yun Ziling stood beside Chen Xuan, arms crossed, watching Duan Fei repeatedly slap himself. A look of disgust flashed in her eyes, and she secretly mocked Duan Fei's cowardice.

Yu Guili, on the other hand, was ashen-faced. He never imagined that Duan Fei, even the mighty Dragon King, would be so "vulnerable," completely surrendering to a woman's threats and emboldening Chen Xuan.

He had intended to use this opportunity to give Chen Xuan a warning, but he didn't expect it to backfire.

"Enough!" Yun Ziling felt embarrassed looking at Duan Fei's disheveled appearance. After all, they were husband and wife, and she didn't want the Yun family to lose face.

"Get up. I hope you'll remember this lesson from today."

Duan Fei felt like he had been granted a pardon. He quickly got up from the ground, didn't even glance at Yu Guili, and looked at Yun Ziling with a fawning expression.

But Yun Ziling looked at Chen Xuan, seemingly asking for his opinion, a scene that made Duan Fei feel extremely unlucky.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully making the Chosen One Duan Fei suffer a setback and unable to retaliate. Reward: 100000 Destiny Points, 100 Vermilion Fruits, and 100 Lottery Draws!"

"Hmph, for Miss Yun's sake, I will not pursue this matter further today," Chen Xuan said coldly.

"But if there is a next time, we won't let it go so easily."

Seeing this, Duan Fei clenched his fist, but did not refute.

Just as the incident was about to come to an end, Ning Xinyou appeared on the scene.

At this moment, she looked at everyone present, her expression showing a hint of helplessness and exhaustion.

This banquet was originally meticulously prepared by the Ning family for Yu Guili, but it has now fallen into chaos due to this sudden farce.

She looked at Yu Guili, her tone carrying a hint of reproach:

“Brother Guili, how can you be so… clueless about the seriousness of the matter? Look at the Celestial King's oppressive aura above, it's almost materialized. No one here dares to move. Instead of dealing with this, what are you doing here watching…”

"Don't worry, You'er. I've already dealt with the pressure from the Celestial King above. It should dissipate in a little while."

Upon hearing this, Ning Xinyou did not refute Yu Guili, but looked at Duan Fei and frowned slightly: "I hope so!"

"And you, Chen Xuan, this is, after all, a banquet of the Ning family. Although you resolved the dispute, your actions were far too ostentatious," Ning Xinyou said, turning her attention to Chen Xuan.

But Chen Xuan still wore that nonchalant smile on his face: "Miss Ning, it was Duan Fei who provoked others first. I was just trying to maintain order at the banquet. If there was anything inappropriate, I hope Miss Ning will forgive me."

Ning Xinyou frowned upon hearing this. She knew that Chen Xuan's words were not entirely unreasonable, but since Yu Guili had now confirmed Duan Fei's identity, if she refuted or questioned him at this moment, it might embarrass her lover.

Even now, she still doesn't believe Duan Fei's true identity.

Finally, after a moment's thought, she turned to the surrounding guests and said:

"Today's events have caused much disturbance, and we hope that all distinguished guests will not take it to heart. The Ning family will handle the matter properly and will give everyone a satisfactory explanation. As for the Celestial King's oppressive aura above... please wait a moment!"
