Master Head of the Dragon Soul

"Furthermore, by order of Crown Prince Hua, Dragon Soul's God of War Chu Feng, who fought in Xi Xia and recaptured Xi Ye, is hereby granted the title of 'Marshal' for his meritorious service. Here is your military uniform and seal." The official's eyes were filled with envy as someone presented a set of exquisite military uniforms and a large seal.

However, Chu Feng was completely absorbed in playing with Duo Duo, chuckling softly as he watched his daughter pick a plum blossom from the garden. He appeared completely indifferent in the face of such benevolence. Inside the Lord's residence, many servants who were watching the scene had started whispering among themselves. Judging from their tone and expressions, it was clear that they were overjoyed. "Oh my, Young Master Feng is now a Marshal too? What an honor!"

"The Chu family now has two Marshals. This is truly a cause for celebration!"

"Young Master Feng is truly exceptional!"

Duo Duo blinked her big eyes and proudly waved her little fists, saying, "Daddy is a Grand Marshal. Daddy is amazing!"

Laughter filled the Lord's residence.

Accompanying the official was a young girl, approximately 18 or 19 years old. She had fair skin, a beautiful appearance, and an arrogant expression on her face.

When she caught sight of the happy expressions of the Chu family's servants, she sneered disdainfully, "How ignorant. The people in Lord Chu's Castle are nothing compared to those in Di Du. Tsk, the gap between them is as vast as a chasm."

"He's just a mere Marshal. Although he has a title, he doesn't have the power to go with it. He only received the title because my brother said so. Marshals like him are a dime a dozen!"

Her name was Hua Yingying, the biological younger sister of Crown Prince Hua. She had been pampered since childhood and was born into nobility. Thus, she naturally considered herself superior to everyone.

In the eyes of people like her, everyone else in the world was insignificant and could never achieve greatness unless they hailed from Di Du.

Chu Feng narrowed his eyes, his gaze flickering. Although Hua Yingying's voice was low, he could still hear her as clearly as day.

As a god-level martial artist, his senses were ten times more developed than an ordinary person's.

The official coughed a few times and glanced at Hua Yingying with disapproval, seemingly blaming her for interfering.

Then, he smiled and looked at Chu

Feng, saying, "Marshal Chu, congratulations. For you to become a Marshal at such a young age... You truly are a rare genius born in last three hundred years of Donghua's history! Even Lord-Chu, your father, only became a Grand Marshal of the Army' when he was 30. Even so, look how far he has come. I'm sure you'll achieve great things as well. Marshal Chu, please accept the decree."

The official raised a scroll embroidered with a golden dragon, its entire body covered in yellow silk, with a proud expression.

According to the law, this was a decree issued by the imperial family. Everyone, from the officials and citizens under Donghua's jurisdiction to the nobles and commoners, had to kneel and bow nine times as a show of respect. Although the dynasty was no more, the imperial family still existed. So, they continued to follow this feudal etiquette to demonstrate their noble "imperial" status.

Alas, Chu Feng simply waved his hand casually and said, "Just leave it there. You can go now."

Uhm...

The official was instantly stunned. When he snapped out of it, his face turned from green to purple, looking extremely ugly.

This wasn't just a matter of not taking him, an official, seriously. Chu Feng's actions were akin to disrespecting Crown Prince Hua and the imperial family!

Hua Yingying's temper immediately

flared as she pointed at Chu Feng and screeched, "Hey, what do you think you're doing?! My brother

risked so much just to clear your et

name while disregarding past grievances just to reward you with the title of 'Marshal.' This is à blessing you've only managed to receive after accumulating good karma for eight lifetimes!"

Then, she continued disparagingly, "Yet, not only are you ungrateful toward the imperial family's grace but you're also treating us with such a terrible attitude! Is this how you treat your benefactor? Is this the demeanor the descendant of Lord Chu should have?"

Hua Yingying didn't hold back as she looked down at him with her nose in the air.

She had long disliked Chu Feng. So, now that the opportunity was within her grasp, she naturally wanted to teach him a lesson and make him learn his place.

Chu Feng simply turned his head and replied dispassionately, "Did I ask for your help?"
