Chapter 55 Birthday Banquet Leads to Ghost Marriage and Death!
The birthday banquet music was still playing in the banquet hall of the Shen family villa.
The guests were chatting and laughing, raising their glasses, creating a festive atmosphere.
Suddenly, the solid wood door of the banquet hall was kicked open with a loud crash.
Two men dressed in black strode in.
He exuded a suffocatingly cold aura, as if he had crawled out of an ice cellar.
The entire venue fell silent instantly, and the music stopped abruptly.
All the guests turned around, looking at the doorway with surprise and doubt.
I wonder what these two uninvited guests are here for.
Shen Tuohai stood on the stage and saw the face of the person who had come.
His face instantly turned deathly pale, devoid of any color.
His body swayed violently, and he almost fell off the stage.
Xia Wanxing reacted quickly and caught her swaying father.
His mother, Xu Muqing, rushed over and supported Shen Tuohai from both sides.
Xia Wanxing's voice trembled with anxiety: "Dad! What's wrong?"
"Who are they? Do you know them?"
Shen Tuohai did not answer his daughter's question.
He pushed away his wife and daughter's hands and staggered to his feet.
He stumbled and staggered toward the two men in black.
Shen Tuohai's voice was extremely humble, and his whole body was trembling.
"Gentlemen, let's talk this out. As long as you don't take my daughter away."
"I'm willing to pay any price! I'll give up all of the Shen family's assets without hesitation!"
The moment those words were spoken, the entire room fell into a deathly silence.
The guests looked at each other, completely bewildered, and began to whisper among themselves.
No one expected that Shen Tuohai, a prominent figure in Jiangcheng, would stoop to such a humble level.
Xia Wanxing stood there, stunned, her mind blank.
Standing on the stage, completely bewildered and unaware of what was happening.
The man from the Yu family standing in front suddenly burst into laughter.
The laughter was full of undisguised disdain and contempt.
The man from the Yu family, number one, spoke up: "I wouldn't even look at the meager assets of your Shen family!"
"Do you think our Yu family are beggars? Do you think we care about your two coins?"
The two of them were too lazy to pay any more attention to the limp Shen Tuohai.
He walked straight past him and headed towards Xia Wanxing on the stage.
He reached out to grab her and take her away.
Xu Yunfeng had just gotten up from the ground and clutched his chest for a long time before recovering.
Seeing this, he immediately acted impulsively and rushed out of the crowd.
He stood firmly in front of Xia Wanxing, glaring angrily at the two of them.
Xu Yunfeng roared, "What are you doing!"
"Trying to use force in broad daylight, huh? Is there no law anymore?!"
The man from the Yu family didn't even glance at him, and casually waved his hand.
A chilling aura erupted instantly.
In the close-up shot, Xu Yunfeng looked like a kite with a broken string.
He was sent flying backwards in an instant, crashing heavily onto a table in the distance.
Glasses and plates shattered on the floor, spilling wine everywhere.
The man from the Yu family sneered, his gaze fixed on Shen Tuohai with a sinister look.
The man from the Yu family, A, spoke coldly: "Shen Tuohai, you'd better obediently fulfill the agreement you made eighteen years ago."
"Let your daughter come with us to serve my eldest son in the underworld and complete this ghost marriage!"
Upon hearing the words "ghost marriage," Xia Wanxing's pupils instantly contracted.
He started shaking uncontrollably, and his face was as white as paper.
She never imagined that her eighteenth birthday party would turn into such a mess.
Yu Jia, the man from the Yu family, completely lost his patience.
He suddenly charged forward and pounced on Xia Wanxing.
His five fingers transformed into sharp claws, carrying a chilling aura, and viciously grabbed at her shoulder.
At the critical moment, the jade pendant on Xia Wanxing's chest suddenly began to vibrate violently.
It was the protective jade talisman that Lu Jingchen gave her.
A gentle, warm light instantly emanated from the jade pendant.
It transformed into a semi-transparent light shield, completely protecting Xia Wanxing inside.
The man from the Yu family, A, slammed his sharp claws into the light shield.
He was instantly forced back two steps by a powerful recoil, staggering and almost falling.
His face was filled with disbelief and astonishment.
The man from the Yu family exclaimed in shock, "A protective talisman?!"
"How is this possible? How could that old bastard Shen Tuohai possess such a treasure?"
In the corner, Xu Yunfeng clutched his chest and struggled to his feet.
Blood was still trickling from the corner of his mouth as he stared intently at the glowing light shield in front of Xia Wanxing.
Xu Yunfeng was filled with disbelief and couldn't help but swear.
"Holy crap! That jade pendant that kid gave me actually saved my life?!"
"I used to mock it as a worthless rock worth a few dollars, but it turns out the clown is actually myself?"
Xia Wanxing finally came to her senses.
She looked down at the jade pendant that was slightly warm to the touch, her eyes filled with disbelief.
She instantly remembered what Lu Jingchen had said when he gave her the gift.
In a critical moment, this thing really saved her life!
The man from the Yu family, A, realized what was happening and instantly became furious.
Suddenly, a long sword shimmering with black light appeared in his hand, its cold gleam and menacing aura overwhelming.
The man from the Yu family roared in fury, "Just a mere spirit-breaking talisman!"
"I'll see if it can withstand my full-force attack!"
The man swung his sword fiercely, channeling all the evil energy within him into the blade.
A sharp, black sword aura burst forth instantly.
With a piercing whistling sound, it slashed fiercely at the light barrier in front of Xia Wanxing.
In the close-up shot, black sword energy roared in.
But just a few feet away from Xia Wanxing, it was as if he had bumped into an invisible wall of bronze and iron.
It was frozen in mid-air, unable to move forward even an inch.
The sword energy trembled wildly in front of the light barrier, emitting a piercing buzz.
It finally shattered with a crash, turning into black mist and dissipating into the air.
The gentle light shield remained unbroken, steadily protecting Xia Wanxing.
The guests were all stunned; their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
No one expected that this birthday party would turn into such a bizarre scene.
Everyone held their breath, staring intently at the movements on the stage.
Shen Tuohai was taken aback when he saw the light shield in front of his daughter.
His eyes immediately lit up with ecstasy, and he rushed to his daughter's side, shielding her behind him.
The two men from the Yu family exchanged a glance, both seeing seriousness in each other's eyes.
They never expected that just when they were about to succeed, a protective talisman would suddenly appear out of nowhere.
Moreover, the power of this talisman is actually this strong.
The man from the Yu family gritted his teeth, his face turning ashen.
He stared intently at the jade pendant on Xia Wanxing's chest, his eyes filled with greed and malice.
Even within the Yu family, a protective talisman of this quality would be considered a top-tier treasure.
Even if we can't take Xia Wanxing away today, we must get our hands on this jade pendant!
Just as he was about to charge forward again with his sword, a calm voice suddenly came from the entrance of the banquet hall.
The sound wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.
With a chilling aura, it instantly silenced the clamor of the entire venue.
Lu Jingchen's voice rang out: "You dare touch what I gave away?"
"I think you're tired of living."
Everyone turned around at once and saw Lu Jingchen standing at the entrance of the banquet hall.
He walked in calmly, his gaze sweeping coldly over the two men in black on the stage.
It's no different from watching two ants jumping around.
Xia Wanxing's eyes instantly reddened when she saw Lu Jingchen.
The fear and grievances that had been building up for half a day all erupted at this moment.
With a sob in her voice, she called out, "Brother!"
Lu Jingchen looked up at her and nodded slightly.
The coldness in his eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a hint of reassurance.
It was as if as long as he was there, he could hold up the sky for her even if it fell down.
