Feng Zejian's right eyelid twitched.
"Um... never mind, let's not cancel it, let's think of another way."
"Now it's up to you to come back with me and explain the situation."
Feng Zejian shook his head.
"Sister, I admit that my methods were a bit underhanded back then. If I went with you, wouldn't I just be waiting to die? Your elders won't let me off the hook."
"Let me finish what I have to say. What I told them was that you are my boyfriend whom I have secretly pledged my life to, so I made a contract with you. All you have to do is come back with me and play the role of my boyfriend."
Feng Zejian pondered. "Alright, I'll go with you the day after tomorrow."
Yi Fangya shook her head.
"Now, they want to see you now."
Feng Zejian looked somewhat helpless.
"Aren't you guys sleeping in the middle of the night?"
"We are nightmares; we don't sleep at night."
"Alright, let's resolve this matter as soon as possible."
Feng Zejian agreed.
"So, how do we get there? Do I need to call a car?"
Yifang Ya shook her head.
"Nightmare doesn't live in the real world; we have our own space to live. Don't resist; I'll take you there."
One side transformed into a mass of darkness, swallowing the wind and marshland.
Feng Zejian felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at a village.
Looking around, Feng Zejian could sense that this was not reality.
It's a place similar to a copy of a game.
Yi Fangya linked arms with Feng Zejian, behaving very intimately.
Yifang Ya is not short; in high heels, she is even taller than Feng Zejian.
"What should I do?"
"I only said I have a boyfriend, without saying what kind of boyfriend he is. You can fill in the blanks."
After walking for a while, the two arrived at a courtyard that looked like that of a wealthy family, and then they went inside.
Perhaps it was just Feng Zejian's imagination, but he felt that the atmosphere had been somewhat oppressive along the way, and there wasn't a single person in this large courtyard, nor on the way here before.
Pushing open the door, the room was completely dark, but the next second, rows of candles lit up in an orderly fashion.
As the light faded, Feng Zejian finally saw a figure sitting cross-legged in front of him.
The firelight cast the person's shadow, making it appear infinitely long and as if it were moving.
"Go inside, everyone's here."
Feng Zejian swallowed hard and went inside with Yifang Ya.
The door closed a second after the two went inside.
Behind the two rows of candles, pairs of eyes glowing red slowly opened, and Feng Zejian understood at that moment why Yifang Ya had said that everyone was there.
It could be said that Feng Zejian was trembling with fear with every step he took, but he still remained calm.
When she was a meter or two away from the figure, Yifang Ya bowed and said, "Father, I have brought the person. This is my boyfriend, Feng Zejian."
As the figure moved forward, Feng Zejian could see the person's face by the candlelight.
A rather young man dressed in black casual clothes, very handsome, but with a somewhat flamboyant air.
"He's not bad looking. Xiaoya's taste is pretty good."
"Invite your boyfriend to sit down."
Yifang Ya led Feng Zejian to two empty seats on the left, where the two sat side by side.
At this moment, the man asked, "Yang Yiya is my daughter, Yi Fangzhun, and the future patriarch of the Nightmare Clan. I don't object to Yang Yiya finding humans, but there are some things I need to clarify."
Feng Zejian nodded. "Uncle, please speak."
"How did you and Xiaoya meet?"
Yi Fangya became nervous.
Feng Zejian calmly explained, "Uncle, it's like this: I met Ya Ya on the Shinkansen train. Ya Ya was the chief purser there, and I joined the train as a passenger."
"I had a dream in my Shinkansen compartment. I dreamt that I had sex with a woman whose face I couldn't see. When I woke up, I found Ya Ya next to me asking how I was. When I saw Ya Ya, I realized that she looked a lot like the woman in my dream."
"The more I looked at her, the more she resembled the person in my dream. I was convinced that she was the one destined for me. There is one thing I need to repent for: I used some despicable means to pursue Ya Ya."
One side narrowed its eyes slightly. "What methods? How despicable?"
“I used coercion and enticement to get Ya Ya to sign a permanent contract with me. I know a little about some things, and I know that once a permanent contract is signed, it will not be terminated unless one of the parties dies.”
One side was so angry they almost laughed.
"I really admire you for having the guts to say it."
Feng Zejian's head was pressed directly to the ground.
"Uncle, I know this behavior is wrong, but it's my only chance to talk to Ya Ya. I don't want to lose this opportunity. I know that if I don't do this, we'll just be strangers."
“I have always believed that opportunities are earned, and any means are good as long as they achieve one’s goal. I also believe that I can bring happiness to Ya Ya. I am determined to be with Ya Ya, so please grant us your wish.”
One side was deep in thought.
Feng Zejian was indeed angry that he forced his daughter to sign the contract, but from Feng Zejian's perspective, there was absolutely nothing wrong with doing so.
Moreover, now that his daughter's attitude is also on Feng Zejian's side, as it's a matter between young people, and as long as both sides are willing, it's not appropriate for him, as an elder, to say anything.
Yi Fangya suppressed a laugh.
If this weren't the second time the two had met, Yifang Ya herself would have believed what Feng Zejian said.
Feng Zejian's words are a mixture of truth and falsehood, making them the most difficult to discern.
Chapter 278 I know you like smaller ones, but...
One party then inquired about his daughter's opinion.
"Xiaoya, what do you think?"
"I personally like Feng Zejian very much, and I hope my father and elders will give Feng Zejian and me a chance."
One side was deep in thought.
"I, as your father, cannot make this decision entirely; I must consult your elders as well."
At this moment, the other Nightmare Clan members, who had been suppressing their feelings for a long time, began their interrogation.
What do you do? Do you have a stable job?
Although he didn't know where the voice came from, Feng Zejian answered without hesitation.
"Replying to my elders, I am currently just a student and do not have a stable job."
"Student? Which school? What year?"
Feng Zejian was stunned for a moment.
"I'm still in high school, Kanazawa High School, and I'm almost eighteen this year."
The elders of the Nightmare Clan all focused their attention on Yifang Ya at this moment.
Even the father couldn't help but tease him.
"Xiaoya, I know you like smaller things, but..."
Feng Zejian pretended to be very surprised.
"Is Ya Ya very old? I asked her before, but she didn't say. I asked her several times and she said she was twenty years old."
Laughter erupted from those around them.
Yi Fangya blushed and nudged Feng Zejian.
"What are you talking about? When did I say that?"
Feng Zejian laughed:
"So how old is Ya Ya exactly?"
One side suppressed a laugh and said, "Just consider her twenty."
After Feng Zejian's actions, the atmosphere was no longer so heavy.
"In that case, when should we bring our parents over so that both sides can meet?"
Feng Zejian declined, saying, "Please allow me to refuse on this matter."
"Oh? Why?"
“I think this is my own business and has nothing to do with my parents. Besides, I don’t have a good relationship with my parents. In my eyes, there are irreconcilable conflicts between us.”
Yifang frowned slightly. "I don't know what you've been through, whether it's teenage rebellion or something else, but I don't think there are any irreconcilable conflicts between children and parents."
"Uncle, I understand what you mean, and I appreciate that you refrain from commenting without knowing the full story. It was my unilateral refusal to mediate this matter. I got through the most difficult and painful time on my own, and my family, whom I had hoped would lend me a helping hand, did not."
“From that moment on, I decided to cut ties with them. In their lives, I was an insignificant, even superfluous, character. I had gotten used to this kind of life. My life no longer needs them, not now, and not in the future.”
"But my parents did give birth to me, and I will repay that kindness with money, but that's all."
Feng Zejian has said everything that could and couldn't be said, and he's shut everyone up. What else can Yifang say?
“I have been financially independent for two years. All my expenses during these two years have been earned through my own labor. I have transferred nearly 20 million yuan back home. I have kept all the receipts. I own a house in the city, which is registered under my name. In the future, I will purchase another property and register it in Ya Ya’s name in full.”
Feng Zejian told him everything without asking.
"Is this the kind of financial resources an eighteen-year-old should have?"
"Uncle, I think financial resources have nothing to do with age, but rather with ability. My ability is directly proportional to my financial resources."
One side nodded in satisfaction.
"I think her conditions and appearance are quite good, it's just that her age... Xiaoya likes it, so age is not a problem."
"However, as you know, our race is not a simple human being. Becoming the son-in-law of our family will put you under a lot of pressure in the future."
"Of course I know. I'm not exactly a nobody. I'm currently the priest at Asuka Shrine, a full member of the Mystery Club, a servant of Lord Crow God, and I have a permanent contract with Lady Snow Woman."
When these words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked.
To prove his words, Feng Zejian began to use the power of the two contracts.
Two distinct, yet remarkably powerful forces began to spread.
Originally, Yifang was quite satisfied with this young man, but now he is even more satisfied.
"You should have told me about these multiple identities earlier. I only recognize this one. With Xiaoya by your side, we elders can rest assured."
At this moment, Feng Zejian said, "Uncle, because of my age and future career, I may not be able to get married immediately. I wonder if you mind."
"No problem, no problem at all. Young people should focus on their careers, and my Xiaoya is only twenty. She can wait. As for buying a house, I have some savings. I'll go to your district tomorrow, or even today, and buy the nearest house so it'll be easier for you to keep in touch."
"That's not good."
"There's nothing wrong with it. Young people have a lot to talk about. Xiaoya is getting older and doesn't want to stay at home anymore, so it's good for her to go somewhere else."
Yi Fangya blushed and lowered her head.
Suddenly, Feng Zejian was given free rein to do whatever he wanted. This was too much freedom. He had never even been in a relationship before, and now it felt like he was being taken away.
However, she never expected that Feng Zejian would be so powerful.
Moreover, Feng Zejian's actions saved him a lot of trouble in the future.
"Uncle, it's getting late. Why don't Ya Ya and I head out first? I'll visit you in a few days when I have more time, and we can discuss things in detail."
"No problem, but what are you going to do if Xiaoya goes with you?"
"We don't do anything special, just chat and take walks. I personally don't advocate doing that kind of thing before marriage, so please rest assured, Uncle."
