My Ares Son-in-Law

Xiao Chen frowned slightly when he heard this, and a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes. He never liked these insignificant polite words, and he didn't like people speculating about his private affairs without reason.

So, he said directly and straightforwardly: "The little girl seems to be quite impressive, but let's not waste time talking nonsense. Just tell me what you want to talk to me about. I'm very busy."

There was a certain unquestionable authority in his tone, and it was obvious that he did not have much patience for irrelevant topics.

Jiang Yixue gave a bitter smile, which was filled with helplessness and self-mockery. "Mr. Xiao, am I so unpopular with you? Anyway, I really have no ill will towards you. I just want to ask you for a favor."

There was a hint of sorrow in her tone, as if she was telling an unsolvable mystery.

Xiao Chen's eyes were still cold and calm. He said calmly, "No need to say these useless words. If what you said is within my ability, I can naturally consider helping you. Otherwise, forget it. I don't like beating around the bush."

There was an unquestionable determination in his tone, as if he was stating an irrefutable fact.

Jiang Yixue's eyes flashed with disappointment when she heard this, but she quickly adjusted her mood and continued:
"Mr. Xiao, do you know that there is a popular entertainment activity nowadays called real-life CS. It simulates the life-and-death struggle on the battlefield, allowing participants to experience the thrilling feeling in the game. Have you ever played it?"

There was a hint of anticipation in her tone, as if she was inviting Xiao Chen to share the fun.

Xiao Chen smiled playfully when he heard this. "I haven't played it before, but I have played with real guns in my life. I have seen and experienced life-and-death battles on the battlefield. Those so-called real-life CS games are nothing but child's play."

There was a hint of disdain in his tone, as if he was recalling those glorious years.

Jiang Yixiu was stunned for a moment, and a gleam of certainty flashed in her bright eyes. She felt that she had found the right person, although to be honest, when she came to Xiao Chen before, she was not very sure in her heart, and it was more of a one-sided attempt at luck.

Because this upcoming real-life CS game is of great importance to her, and it can even be said that it is related to her destiny. Therefore, she must find a reliable person, someone who can lend a helping hand to her at a critical moment.

Xiao Chen was a master, Jiang Yixiu knew this very well. After all, she had witnessed Xiao Chen's strength with her own eyes that day.

However, she also knew that although games like real-life CS were exciting and tense, they were still a world apart from real warrior battles.

So, before coming here, she was actually quite hesitant, not sure whether Xiao Chen would be interested in this kind of game, and even less sure whether he had the ability to stand out in it.

But now, looking at Xiao Chen's calm yet confident eyes, the doubts in her heart instantly disappeared.

"Then Mr. Xiao," Jiang Yixiu's voice was filled with a hint of pleading and expectation, "can you help me fight?" Her tone was full of sincerity and urgency, as if at this moment, she placed all her hopes on Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen heard this and smiled faintly, which seemed to contain some amusement and deep meaning. "What's the benefit of helping you fight?" His words were calm and direct, without any beating around the bush. "You should know that the relationship between you and me is not close. I, Xiao Chen, always have principles and bottom lines in doing things. I can't help you for no reason and for free."

His tone revealed an unquestionable firmness and determination, as if telling Jiang Yixiu that if she wanted his help, she would have to pay the corresponding price.

"I know!" Jiang Yixiu gritted her teeth, her eyes flashing with determination and expectation, "If you win this battle, the prize will be yours, how about it?" There was an imperceptible tremor in her voice. Obviously, this proposal was also very important to her.

Hearing this, Xiao Chen raised a disdainful smile at the corner of his mouth, "Prize? Do you really think I would be interested in ordinary things? My vision, Xiao Chen, is not comparable to those ordinary people."

There was a hint of arrogance and confidence in his tone, as if he was telling Jiang Yixiu that if she wanted to impress him, she had to come up with something truly valuable.

Jiang Yixue's heart tightened when she saw this, but she quickly adjusted her mood and said hurriedly:
"This time the prize is not an ordinary thing, but an extremely rare 500-year-old Fire Ganoderma! Mr. Xiao, you should know that although it is the era of warriors now, this kind of spiritual object is extremely rare.

Even if Mr. Xiao is an expert among experts, with the help of this Fire Ganoderma, your skills will definitely be taken to a higher level."

At this point, Jiang Yixue's eyes could not help but reveal a trace of yearning and awe, as if she was telling an ancient and mysterious legend. She knew very well how precious and rare this Fire Ganoderma was, so she wanted to get it at all costs.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and then became enthusiastic, "Interesting... The prize belongs to me, I will help you." His voice revealed an excitement and anticipation that was difficult to conceal, as if at this moment, he had already seen a future in which his skills would greatly increase.

In the secular world, resources are scarce, spiritual energy is scarce, and the path of cultivation is extremely difficult.

A five-hundred-year-old Fire Ganoderma is a priceless treasure for any warrior. Xiao Chen is no exception. He knows how precious and rare this Fire Ganoderma is, so he agreed to Jiang Yixue's proposal without hesitation.

"That's great... But don't you care about who your opponent is?" Jiang Yixue asked softly, blinking her eyes full of curiosity and worry. There was a hint of concern in her tone, as if to remind Xiao Chen not to take it lightly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen raised a disdainful smile and said, "No matter who it is, no one can beat me." His voice was firm and confident, as if he was stating an indisputable fact.

In Xiao Chen's view, neither the arduous training in the army nor the difficulties and obstacles on the road to becoming an immortal can stop him from moving forward. He firmly believes that his strength is enough to cope with any challenge.

Jiang Yixue looked at Xiao Chen's confident look and couldn't help but admire him. But she also knew that this competition was no joke and Xiao Chen's opponent was no ordinary person.

So, she took a deep breath and continued, "Mr. Xiao is really confident, but I still want to tell you that the organizer this time is the Black Hawk Society! They are a big force in the HDD area, powerful and ruthless." (End of this chapter)
