My Ares Son-in-Law

Jiang Yixue turned to Xiao Chen quietly, with a look of anxiety and help. Her eyes seemed to contain thousands of words, but at this moment they could only turn into silent help. Her hands clenched unconsciously, and the nervous emotion flowed through her fingertips. She hoped that Xiao Chen could give her a positive answer.

Xiao Chen felt the subtle movement behind him, turned his head, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He seemed to see through Jiang Yixue's thoughts and comforted her, "It's okay, just do your best, and leave the rest to me." His words were relaxed, but with unquestionable firmness. His eyes revealed a calmness and confidence, as if everything was under control.

After hearing this, Jiang Yixue was speechless and secretly complained: I'm still leaving it to you. I'm worried about you. You're a novice, new here, and you dare to gamble so many spirit stones with others. Isn't this obviously giving money to others? Do you really think you are the legendary boy who gives wealth and warmth to others? Her heart was full of anxiety and uneasiness, but she couldn't express it directly.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen smiled even more, seemingly unaware of Jiang Yixue's worry. "It doesn't matter. If I lose, I lose. I'm not someone who can't afford to lose. One hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones is a lot, but life is about having fun. Besides, what if I win by chance? Isn't life full of unknowns and surprises?"

His tone was open-minded and uninhibited, which made people admire him. His smile was as warm as the sun, as if it could dispel all the haze.

Jiao Yulang and Jin Lanlan, who were standing by, listened to the conversation between the two and their eyes suddenly lit up, as if they had discovered some new world.

They thought to themselves that from what Xiao Chen said, he just wanted to overpower them with his momentum and had never fished before. Even though Xiao Chen's martial arts skills were so impressive that people were afraid of him, fishing was a technical job and could not be done with brute force alone. In this way, wouldn't the two of them definitely win?
Thinking of this, Jiao Yulang and Jin Lanlan couldn't help but look at each other, with surprise and confidence flashing in their eyes.

They secretly rejoiced that they had agreed to the bet on impulse, otherwise it would not have been so easy to earn these 100,000 low-grade spirit stones. At this moment, their hearts were filled with anticipation and longing for the upcoming victory. Their heartbeats accelerated, as if they had already seen the dawn of victory.

After Jiang Yixiu and Jin Lanlan carefully confirmed the rules of the competition, the two groups couldn't wait to start this unique fishing competition.

The rules are simple and clear. Whoever can catch a fish with higher value within half an hour will be the winner. The judging criteria are not the size of the fish, but only its value, which undoubtedly adds a bit of suspense and excitement to the competition. The time limit of the competition makes everyone race against time and dare not slack off.

Hearing that there was a gambling game, the surrounding fishing enthusiasts stopped what they were doing and gathered around to watch this rare showdown. Even Liu Yong and Zhang Lan, who were known for their superb fishing skills, couldn't help but come over. The crowd was buzzing with discussions, making the scene very lively.

"If you don't mind, how about my husband and I being the referees for this match?" Liu Yong volunteered to make this suggestion, his eyes full of anticipation for the match.

"It would be great if you two would condescend to be the referees. Everyone knows that you two are masters in the fishing world." Jiang Yixue smiled brightly upon hearing this, and her tone was full of respect and gratitude for Liu Yong and his wife. Jiao Yulang also nodded in agreement, and he also had great respect for Liu Yong and his wife's fishing skills.

"Okay, since the four of you are ready, let's start counting." Liu Yong glanced at the watch on his wrist and announced the official start of the competition.

The four of them quickly sat down at their chosen fishing spots, which were carefully selected by themselves and were relatively far away from each other to ensure that they would not interfere with each other. Jiang Yixue's choice of location was naturally not bad. As the boss here, she knew the characteristics of each fishing spot very well. The spot she chose was the most likely to catch large quantities of fish on weekdays.

Jiao Yulang and Jin Lanlan are also experts in fishing. The spots they chose are no worse than Jiang Yixiu's, and everyone cast approving glances at them.

However, when everyone's eyes turned to Xiao Chen, they were all stunned. Even the experienced Liu Yong couldn't help but be stunned: "The location chosen by this young man surnamed Xiao is really strange. There has never been any fish, not even small fish. He must be an amateur in choosing that place."

Zhang Lan couldn't help but nodded, with a look of regret on her face: "The winner of this game can be seen before it even starts. Even if Miss Jiang can catch expensive fish, Mr. Xiao will probably get nothing."

The people around him all looked at him with sympathy, puzzled and regretful about Xiao Chen's choice. However, Xiao Chen seemed to not care about people's opinions at all. He sat quietly at his fishing spot, with a firm and confident look in his eyes, as if he had already made up his mind and was sure of victory.

"Mr. Xiao, don't go there. It's remote and overgrown with weeds, which affects your vision. Come here. This is my secret base. There is plenty of sunshine, the water is calm, and I often catch fish. I guarantee that you will return with a full load and enjoy the fun of fishing."

Jiang Yixue waved her arms anxiously as she spoke, trying to attract Xiao Chen's attention. Her eyes were full of anticipation, as if she had already seen Xiao Chen showing off his skills in this "golden fishing spot".

Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Jiang Taigong fishes and those who are willing to take the bait will be caught. This is about a leisurely and contented state of mind. Now that I'm here, I want to try different locations and experience different fish conditions. What if I'm lucky? Maybe I can catch a big fish that I've never caught before." There was a gleam of adventure in his eyes, and he was obviously looking forward to the upcoming fishing trip.

Jiang Yixue heard this and shook her head helplessly, with a bitter smile on her lips. She knew Xiao Chen's temper very well. Once he made up his mind, he would be like a stubborn wild horse, and even ten cows couldn't pull him back. So she had to give up persuading him and focus on her fishing rod, preparing for the upcoming challenge.

"Since everyone is ready, let's start counting from now on. The competition officially begins!" Liu Yong stood aside, holding a timer and announced loudly. His voice echoed over the empty fishing ground, instantly suppressing the surrounding noise. (End of this chapter)
