My Ares Son-in-Law

He would not let Xiao Chen go, and he would make him pay a heavy price for what he did today! Shen Yushan clenched his fists tightly, his nails deeply embedded in his palms, leaving blood marks, and swore secretly in his heart.

But now is not the time to take revenge. He doesn't dare to provoke Xiao Chen easily.

……

Inside the bar, the lights were dim and blurry, and the noisy music echoed all around, but it seemed unable to penetrate into the small world where Xiao Chen and Jiang Yixiu were.

Xiao Chen stared at Jiang Yixue, who had calmed down from her excitement, with a serious look. He frowned slightly, sighed heavily, and said in a low voice with emotion: "When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter; when the wall falls, everyone pushes it. Your Jiang family is now in decline, and these monkey-like forces are planning to take advantage of the situation and add insult to injury."

As he spoke, he gently shook the wine glass in his hand, and the wine in the glass rippled slightly with his movement.

Jiang Yixiu pulled up a bitter smile, which was full of helplessness and self-blame.

She lowered her head slightly, a hint of sadness in her eyes, and said softly: "After all, I am not strong enough. Otherwise, how dare they act so recklessly. If I were strong enough, I would be able to carry the entire Jiang family on my own, and how could I let the family fall into such a predicament."

As she spoke, she subconsciously clenched her fists, as if trying to grasp the family glory that was gradually fading away.

"What is the Jiang family's attitude?" Xiao Chen leaned forward slightly, with curiosity on his face, staring at Jiang Yixiu, eager to know the answer.

Jiang Yixiu shook her head slowly, her eyes full of helplessness.

She sighed softly, with a hint of fatigue in her tone: "Because of his previous wrong decisions, my father has been completely sidelined in the family. The old men in the family only want me to marry into the Oracle Sect. In their view, as long as I marry into the Oracle Sect, the Jiang family can rise again with the powerful force of the Oracle Sect."

As she spoke, she gently turned the wine glass in front of her, her eyes a little empty, as if she was lost in confused thoughts about the future of her family.

"Hmph!" Xiao Chen couldn't help but snort coldly, his face full of disdain.

He frowned slightly, with a hint of anger in his tone: "You don't want to rely on your own efforts to become stronger, but always pin the family's future on others. How can such a family have a great future? With your talent, if they were willing to concentrate all the family's resources to train you and make you stronger, you would have already reached the Tianhe realm, and you might even be a super master who breaks through to the Tianren realm."

As he spoke, he tapped the table lightly, his expression showing a bit of disappointment.

Xiao Chen had a good impression of the Jiang family because of his wife Jiang Meng. But now, hearing about the Jiang family's short-sighted behavior, he was speechless and his good impression of them faded a bit.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this unpleasant topic." Jiang Yixiu forced a smile, trying to ease the depressing atmosphere.

She looked at Xiao Chen, her eyes full of worry: "You have offended the Oracle Sect now, so you must be careful in the future. There are many masters in the Oracle Sect, so you must not act impulsively alone and rashly fight them." As she spoke, she reached out and gently pulled Xiao Chen's sleeve, as if this could give him some protection.

Xiao Chen nodded seriously, indicating that he would be more careful. Then, he skillfully took out a bookkeeping talisman from his arms and handed it to Jiang Yixiu carefully.

He looked at Jiang Yixue gently and said seriously, "I will be leaving East City soon, so you must be careful. This talisman can be used for self-defense. Under normal circumstances, with it, no one can easily hurt you."

Then, he took out an exquisite storage ring from the storage space and handed it to Jiang Yixue: "Also, there are some cultivation resources in it. These resources are of very good quality, enough for you to break through to the Heaven Realm. You should make good use of them and work hard to improve your strength."

As he spoke, he stuffed the storage ring into Jiang Yixiu's hand, then gently patted the back of her hand to encourage her.

"I can't accept it!" When Jiang Yixiu heard that Xiao Chen was going to give her the precious cultivation resources and storage ring, her eyes widened, filled with astonishment and fear.

She waved her hands repeatedly, with a wide range of motion, as if she was trying to push away some hot potato, and said anxiously, "How dare I take such a valuable thing? This is simply beyond my imagination. I... I really can't afford it."

As she spoke, she twisted her hands together nervously and shrank back slightly, as if she wanted to distance herself from these precious objects.

"Zhao Chuanshen has one too." Xiao Chen looked calm, speaking casually as if he was talking about today's weather. He shrugged slightly, looked at Jiang Yixue calmly, and continued, "You are the geniuses I have chosen. In my eyes, you have unlimited potential and must be trained well. In a few years, you may be of use in this ever-changing world situation."

As he spoke, he gently swirled the remaining half glass of wine in his hand. The liquid in the glass sparkled charmingly under the dim light.

When Jiang Yixiu heard this, the expression on her face froze for a moment, and a hint of imperceptible disappointment flashed in her eyes.

It turns out that Zhao Chuanshen also has the same resources. She sighed silently in her heart. She originally thought that this gift she received was unique, but unexpectedly... She lowered her head slightly and bit her lip, trying to hide the slight loss in her heart.

But what Xiao Chen didn't tell her was that Zhao Chuanshen's resources were distributed by the God of War Alliance according to convention, while she, Jiang Yixiu's resources, were carefully selected by Xiao Chen himself and taken out from his own collection.

Not to mention the extremely precious storage ring, whose craftsmanship is exquisite and it is truly rare in the world, and its preciousness is difficult to estimate.

Xiao Chen didn't seem to notice the subtle changes in Jiang Yixiu's heart. He just slightly raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a faint smile.

Then, he stood up slowly, brushed off the non-existent dust on his body, nodded slightly to Jiang Yixue, and turned to walk towards the door of the bar. His steps were steady and powerful, and every step was firm, as if he had his own firm direction in this chaotic world.

At this time, after many days of unremitting exploration and excavation, Zhang San finally found a key clue hidden deep in the Amei Group - an entrance to a well-hidden secret room. (End of this chapter)
