C1 Reborn as a Soninlaw!
Lin Feng's eyes snapped open, filled with terror. Instinctively, he tried to flip himself over, but a searing pain coursed through his body!
"Hiss—"
The excruciating pain caused Lin Feng to sharply inhale.
As the esteemed King of Soldiers in Huaxia, he never anticipated being trapped by the Americans during a mission. Luckily, he managed to detonate a bomb at the last moment, taking them all out with him!
"Where am I? Am I still alive?"
Lin Feng fought through the pain, struggling to rise and survey his surroundings.
Everything felt unfamiliar, yet there was an odd sense of déjà vu.
Boom!
Suddenly, a flood of memories crashed into his mind!
Once he had sorted through these new memories, Lin Feng was completely dumbfounded. His face turned pale, and he let out an involuntary curse.
"Holy shit!"
He had traveled through time and space!
What irked him the most was that he had become a son-in-law in this new life!
He found himself on the Heavenly Star Continent, a world where martial prowess was the only law. He had married into the Chu family, one of the three major families of Heavenly Wind City—now reduced to two, since the Lin family had been decimated by the City Lord's Mansion, leaving Lin Feng as the sole survivor.
The Chu family had declared Lin Feng as their son-in-law to the public to save his life and prevent the extinction of the Lin family, sparing him from certain death.
Yet, the City Lord's Mansion remained uneasy. Under the cover of night, they struck Lin Feng with a devastating blow. He survived but was left crippled.
The annihilation of his clan and his new status as a cripple caused his predecessor's health to deteriorate rapidly. After enduring a few harsh words from Chu Lan, he died of rage, leaving the body for another Lin Feng to inhabit.
"This former self really had a fragile heart..."
Lin Feng shook his head in disbelief and muttered to himself, "It's just being a son-in-law, and that's enough to anger you to death?"
"Such a pity..." Lin Feng sighed deeply.
His dantian was destroyed, and his meridians were in pieces!
In this world where martial might was everything, he was as insignificant as an ant!
"Ding!"
Suddenly, a peculiar system notification rang in Lin Feng's mind: "Host has been reborn. System binding is now commencing. Binding in progress..."
A system?
Lin Feng was taken aback, and then his face broke into a wide grin!
Having been born in an era marked by a cultural explosion, he was well-versed in the concept of transmigration. The system was the ultimate tool that could transform countless transmigrators into the crème de la crème!
He had always thought such things were mere fiction, but to his amazement, it was all real!
"The God Level Devouring System is now bound. Checking the host's status..."
"Host's dantian and meridians are damaged. Commencing repairs..."
"Repairs successful. Initiating attribute analysis..."
"Host's Attributes:
Name: Lin Feng
Cultivation: First Level of Spiritual Martial Force
Cultivation Method: Qian Yuan Art
All-purpose Points: 0
Bloodline: Unactivated
Martial Skills: None
Welcome to the God Level Devouring System. From now on, you will conquer the heavens alongside this system!"
As the voice ceased, a deluge of messages about how to use the system poured into Lin Feng's mind.
"Oh my goodness..."
After going through the system introduction, Lin Feng was utterly astounded. What shocked him even more was that the system had completely healed his damaged dantian and meridians!
His strength had also solidified at the First Level of the Spiritual Martial Force!
"Creak—"
Just then, the door opened. Following the sound, Lin Feng saw a young girl in a dress, carrying a washbasin, making her way toward him.
The girl was strikingly beautiful, around fourteen or fifteen years old, with a slender figure and a face as lovely as peach blossoms. Her skin was as delicate as porcelain, and her dark hair was gently tied up.
Though young, she exuded a breathtaking charm that promised she would grow into a woman capable of bringing nations to their knees!
For a moment, Lin Feng was mesmerized.
From the memories he had, he knew this girl to be Chu Yao, the younger sister of Chu Lan.
"Brother-in-law, why are you up?"
Chu Yao hurriedly set the basin on the nearby table and gently helped Lin Feng back onto the bed, her face etched with concern.
"It's okay. I've been sleeping for so long that I felt the need to get up and move around a bit!" Lin Feng answered with a smile.
Seeing Lin Feng's color had improved, Chu Yao hesitated before speaking, "Brother-in-law, my sister didn't mean to upset you..."
The Lin and Chu families had always been closely connected, frequently interacting with one another. Without such a relationship, the Chu family would not have stepped in to protect Lin Feng.
Chu Lan and Lin Feng, engaged to be married and living close by, grew up together. When Lin Feng was reduced to a state of helplessness, Chu Lan was disheartened to see him so despondent.
Unable to bear it, Chu Lan had criticized the former Lin Feng, hoping to reignite his determination. Unfortunately, her words had the opposite effect, leading to his untimely demise.
"I understand she meant well. I hold no grudges against her."
Lin Feng nodded. He was not the original Lin Feng, but with the memories he inherited, he could understand why Chu Lan had been harsh. He himself felt like reprimanding the former Lin Feng!
"Mhm!"
Relieved that her brother-in-law bore no resentment, Chu Yao beamed at Lin Feng and exclaimed joyfully, "I knew you were the best, brother-in-law!"
While talking, she dampened a towel and tenderly wiped Lin Feng's cheeks and hands.
To Chu Yao, Lin Feng was her brother-in-law in name, but she had always seen him as a brother. What harm was there in a sister caring for her brother in such a way?
Soon after, Chu Yao finished helping Lin Feng freshen up. She tucked him in, bid him farewell, and bounded out of the room, eager to reassure her sister that there was no need for worry.
"Hehe, what a sweet girl," Lin Feng said to himself, smiling contentedly.
With Chu Yao gone, Lin Feng was left alone in the room. Lying in bed, he gazed at the ceiling, slowly piecing together the details of this world.
"Feng, how are you feeling now?"
Just as Lin Feng was about to delve deeper into his research, a robust male voice echoed from outside the door. The sound stirred a wave of admiration and a sense of closeness within him.
The door creaked open, and a man in his forties entered, carrying a porcelain bowl. Upon seeing the man, Lin Feng instinctively exclaimed, "Uncle Chu!" The visitor was none other than the head of the Chu family, Chu Wei.
"Still calling me Uncle Chu?" Chu Wei's expression soured.
"Father-in-law!" Lin Feng corrected himself, somewhat sheepishly.
Chu Wei's face softened as he sat on the edge of the bed and set the bowl aside, looking at Lin Feng with concern. "Feng, how are you feeling now?"
Lin Feng shook his head and replied, "I've let you down, Father-in-law. I'm sorry to have worried you." He attempted to rise, but the severity of his internal injuries caused him to wince and gasp for air.
With Chu Wei's assistance, Lin Feng managed to sit up and took a careful look at the man before him. He couldn't understand why, upon first sight, he had instinctively called out "Uncle Chu" with such ease.
"Feng, don't worry. I've dispatched people to find the best doctors far and wide. We will heal your wounds," Chu Wei assured him, though a fleeting shadow of sadness passed through his eyes—a detail Lin Feng caught with his keen perception.
His dantian shattered, his meridians severed; even a child unfamiliar with martial arts would know that such injuries meant one was finished, incapable of cultivation. But thanks to the system's aid, Lin Feng had made a full recovery. If only it weren't so difficult to explain, he would have shared the truth.
"This is an outrageous affront. Do they truly think the Chu family is defenseless? I will secure justice for you," Chu Wei declared, a fierce glint in his eyes. The unintentional display of his aura briefly overwhelmed Lin Feng.
Realizing the effect, Chu Wei quickly withdrew his intimidating presence, and Lin Feng's countenance improved.
"Father-in-law," Lin Feng began, his expression resolute and a steadfast light shining in his eyes as he spoke earnestly.
"It's my own shortcoming. If the Wang family has indeed sent assassins after me, they surely wouldn't leave any evidence. Without a shred of proof, it would be unwise to stir up trouble on account of my son and drag the Chu family into a war. It's simply not worth it!"
He remembered from his past life that the Wang family was no less formidable than the Chu family. And now, with the system at his side, vengeance was just a matter of time!
"But..."
Chu Wei tried to speak again, but Lin Feng cut him off, his eyes flashing with determination.
"I want to avenge this myself!"
