Chapter 163 Important things
Shen Lang calmed down. Although this sudden system was strange, it didn't seem to have any malicious intent. He took a deep breath, suppressed his uneasiness and doubts, and asked tentatively, "Opening instructions."
The next moment, a huge stream of information poured into his mind, impacting his consciousness like a flood. Shen Lang groaned, his eyes went dark, and he almost fainted again.
After an unknown amount of time, the information flow finally calmed down, and Shen Lang gradually understood the function of this "devouring system". In simple terms, he could use this system to devour the energy of other creatures and convert it into his own cultivation, thereby quickly improving his strength!
"That is to say, I, Shen Lang, can finally practice?!" Shen Lang clenched his fists, his eyes bursting with ecstasy.
He had always been considered a waste who could not cultivate, and had been subjected to the cold eyes and ridicule of his family. Now, this system was like a ray of light, illuminating his gloomy life, allowing him to see hope, the hope of revenge!
"Shen Yu, just wait. For today's humiliation, I, Shen Lang, will return it a hundredfold!" A sharp cold light flashed in Shen Lang's eyes. He turned and looked outside the ancestral hall, with a cold arc at the corner of his mouth.
At this moment, a pretty figure suddenly appeared in Shen Lang's sight.
"Brother, why are you still here? The head of the family and the elders are waiting for you in the meeting room. They said they want to announce something very important." The girl's voice was clear and pleasant, as sweet as an oriole.
Shen Lang turned his head and saw a girl in a goose yellow dress standing not far away. She had bright eyes, white teeth, picturesque eyebrows, and skin whiter than snow. She was as beautiful and refined as a lotus emerging from water.
"Yue'er..." Shen Lang looked at the girl in front of him, a complicated look flashed in his eyes.
Shen Yue, the most beloved granddaughter of the head of the Shen family, is also the only relative of Shen Lang in this world.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? Did that bastard Shen Yu bully you again? Just wait, I'll go and teach him a lesson for you!" Shen Yue saw that Shen Lang's face was not right, and her eyebrows immediately raised, and she was about to go find Shen Yu to settle the score.
"No need, Yue'er, I'm fine now." Shen Lang grabbed Shen Yue's wrist to stop her from causing trouble for Shen Yu.
He is no longer the Shen Lang of the past. He no longer cares about Shen Yu. What he wants to do is to trample all those who have bullied him under his feet!
"Brother, are you really okay?" Shen Yue looked at Shen Lang, her eyes full of worry.
"Don't worry, Yue'er, I'm really fine." Shen Lang gently patted the back of Shen Yue's hand and said softly, "Let's go to the meeting room."
Shen Lang followed Shen Yue to the outside of the conference room. Just as he was about to step in, he heard a fierce quarrel coming from inside.
"Master, this marriage is absolutely not possible! Our Shen family is a century-old family, how can we marry our daughter to a loser?!"
"That's right, Patriarch, think twice! If other families knew that we married our daughter to a loser who can't practice, wouldn't we be laughed at?!"
"Enough!" An angry shout interrupted everyone's discussion. Shen Tianxiong, the head of the Shen family, slammed the table and said angrily, "Shen Lang is a direct descendant of my Shen family. How can I allow you to insult him like this?!"
"Master, please calm down. We are also thinking about the family!" everyone said hurriedly.
"Humph, for the sake of the family? I think you are short-sighted!" Shen Tianxiong snorted coldly and said, "I have made up my mind. This marriage is settled!"
Shen Lang stood outside the door, listening to the quarrel inside, his face terribly gloomy.
He finally understood why the Shen family had gathered everyone together.
It turned out that they wanted to abandon him and marry him to a woman he had never met!
Shen Lang stood outside the meeting room, listening to the quarrel inside, with a cold arc on his lips. What a century-old family, what a direct descendant! Over the years, have they ever given him any care? Now, for the sake of the family's interests, they want to throw him away like a commodity!
"Brother, let's go!" Shen Yue's face turned red with anger, and she pulled Shen Lang to leave. "They are so cruel, so we don't have to care about our relationship anymore! At worst, we can just leave the Shen family and go out on our own!"
Shen Lang held Shen Yue's hand with his backhand and patted it gently, signaling her to stay calm. He wanted to see what these old guys were up to!
Shen Lang pushed open the door of the meeting room and strode in. His sudden appearance instantly quieted the originally noisy meeting room, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.
When Shen Tianxiong saw Shen Lang, a complicated look flashed across his face, but it quickly disappeared. He cleared his throat and said, "Lang'er, you're here. I called everyone here today because I have something important to announce."
"Master, if you have something to say, just say it directly. There's no need to beat around the bush." Shen Lang said coldly, without any respect in his tone.
Shen Tianxiong frowned slightly, but still said patiently: "It's like this, the young master of Qingyun Sect, Li Yunfei, is young and promising, with outstanding talent, and is a rare cultivation genius in a century. He fell in love with you at first sight and wanted to marry you. After discussing with the elders, I felt that this was a good match, so I agreed."
Shen Lang was furious when he heard this. What a bullshit young master, what love at first sight, this was clearly treating him as a tool for marriage!
"Master, although I, Shen Lang, cannot practice cultivation, I am definitely not a puppet who can be manipulated by others! I do not agree with this marriage!" Shen Lang said every word with a firm tone that left no room for doubt.
"How dare you!" Shen Tianxiong slammed the table and shouted angrily, "Shen Lang, don't refuse a toast and drink a forfeit! This marriage is not up to you to decide!"
"Master, are you trying to force me?" Shen Lang raised his head and looked at Shen Tianxiong with cold eyes.
"What if I force you?" Shen Tianxiong snorted coldly, and said, "If you don't agree, don't blame me for not thinking about the relationship between father and son!"
"Father-son love? Hahaha..." Shen Lang suddenly laughed out loud, his laughter full of sadness and ridicule, "I have been weak and sick since childhood, unable to practice. In your eyes, I am a waste and a shame! When have you ever given me half of your father's love? Now for the sake of the family's interests, you want to send me away like a commodity. Have you ever asked about my wishes?"
"You..." Shen Tianxiong was speechless after hearing Shen Lang's words, his face turning pale and blue.
"I tell you, from now on, my fate, Shen Lang, is controlled by myself!" Shen Lang glanced at everyone present, and finally stopped at Shen Tianxiong's face, "I, Shen Lang, do not! agree! to this marriage!"
As soon as Shen Lang finished speaking, suddenly, a powerful aura burst out from his body, shaking the entire conference hall!
Everyone was stunned. They looked at Shen Lang in disbelief, their eyes filled with shock and fear.
This boy whom they regarded as a waste actually... possessed such a powerful strength? !
Shen Lang's laughter was particularly harsh in the silent meeting room. The coldness in his eyes seemed to freeze people's blood. This sudden pressure made all the elders present feel terrified. They didn't understand why this "waste" of the Shen family, who had been weak and sick since childhood and had no talent for cultivation, suddenly became so terrifying!
Shen Tianxiong was also shocked by Shen Lang's sudden momentum, but he was the head of the family after all, so he quickly came to his senses and shouted angrily: "Evil creature! How dare you be so rude to your elders! Come on, capture him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several Shen family guards rushed forward, trying to subdue Shen Lang.
"Get out!" Shen Lang roared, and an invisible energy burst out from his body, knocking several guards away. They fell heavily against the wall, spitting blood, obviously seriously injured.
"This...how is this possible?!" Everyone was even more shocked when they saw this.
"I said, my destiny is in my own hands!" Shen Lang looked at Shen Tianxiong coldly and said word by word, "Anyone who dares to stop me will be killed without mercy!"
"You...you dare?!" Shen Tianxiong was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at Shen Lang and was speechless for a long time.
At this moment, a clear voice came from outside the door: "Who dares to touch my brother?!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a girl in a light blue dress, accompanied by two maids, walking in quickly. The girl had a beautiful face and a cold temperament, and her eyebrows were somewhat similar to Shen Lang. She was Shen Lang's sister, Shen Yue.
"Xiaoyue, why are you here?" Shen Lang asked with his expression slightly relieved when he saw Shen Yue.
"Brother, I'm here to help you!" Shen Yue walked to Shen Lang's side, looked at Shen Tianxiong fearlessly, and said, "Whoever dares to force my brother, I will fight him!"
"Great! What a deep brother-sister love!" Shen Tianxiong laughed in anger and said, "Since you are so stubborn, don't blame me, the head of the family, for being ruthless!"
After saying that, Shen Tianxiong turned around abruptly and shouted to the outside of the door: "Someone! Capture these two rebellious sons!"
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of fully armed Shen family guards rushed in from outside the door and surrounded Shen Lang and Shen Yue.
"Brother, what should we do?" Shen Yue couldn't help but feel a little scared when she saw the situation in front of her, and she grabbed Shen Lang's sleeve tightly.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Shen Lang gently patted the back of Shen Yue's hand, signaling her to rest assured. Then he raised his head and glanced coldly at the guards around him, with a disdainful sneer on his lips.
"You think you can stop me with just this bunch of rabble?"
The sneer of disdain on Shen Lang's lips was like seeing a devil in Shen Tianxiong's eyes. From childhood to adulthood, Shen Lang always looked timid and cowardly in front of him. Even if he occasionally showed a little dissatisfaction, it would be quickly suppressed by fear. But today, Shen Lang's eyes actually made him, the head of the family, feel a little scared.
