My Ares Son-in-Law

As soon as you enter the valley, a fresh air hits you, mixed with the fragrance of bamboo, making you feel relaxed and happy. In the valley, everyone is given accommodation according to the number on the ticket.

Coincidentally, because Zhao Dazhi and Xiao Chen's ticket numbers were connected, their residences were next to each other. Their residence was a small bamboo house with an area of ​​only ten square meters. The furnishings in the house were simple, with only a bed, a table and a few chairs.

However, for Xiao Chen, such conditions were enough. He was not here to enjoy himself, as long as he had a place to stay.

On the other hand, the top ten like Oracle Gate had much more spacious places to live. Their residence was an independent small courtyard with deep courtyards and shaded trees. The house was luxuriously decorated and fully equipped. The conditions were naturally much better than those of Xiao Chen and Zhao Dazhi.

But Xiao Chen didn't care about it. In his eyes, these external things were nothing but passing clouds. What was important was whether he could find clues related to the Prison Clan.

Xiao Chen had nothing to do, so he decided to take a stroll in the Hero Valley and look for clues about the Prison Clan. He walked along the winding path, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the valley. It was surrounded by green mountains, gurgling green water, and occasionally you could hear a few crisp bird calls.

However, his mind was not on the beautiful scenery at all. Instead, he was always paying attention to the movements around him, trying to find information related to the Prison Clan from clues.

Inadvertently, Xiao Chen saw a dirty little girl running towards him with a terrified look on her face. The little girl had messy hair, tattered clothes, a face full of dust, and endless fear in her eyes. Xiao Chen suddenly became curious, wondering what happened to this little girl that made her so panicked.

When I looked closely, I found that there were several people chasing after the little girl. One of them was a girl of about 17 or 18 years old, one of the seven people from the Oracle Gate.

The girl's eyes revealed a hint of arrogance and disdain, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a mocking smile, as if she was looking at an insignificant little bug. Behind her followed several disciples of the Oracle Sect, all of whom had fierce faces and weapons in their hands, as if they were going to eat the little girl alive.

The girl looked at Xiao Chen coldly with a gaze as sharp as a knife, her eyes full of contempt and arrogance, as if Xiao Chen was nothing more than a lowly ant in her eyes.

She raised her head slightly, her nostrils pointed upwards, and said in a shrill voice: "I was wondering how this thief dared to steal things from my Oracle Sect, but it turns out he has an accomplice. Today I will take you down too!"

As she spoke, she also deliberately emphasized the three words "Oracle Gate", as if she wanted to use this to highlight her identity and intimidate Xiao Chen.

When Xiao Chen heard this, his brows knitted tightly together like two small hills. He secretly complained in his heart that this girl from the Oracle Gate was really overbearing and unreasonable. Just because of a little unfounded personal grudge, she casually labeled him as an "accomplice of the thief."

He glanced at the dirty little girl, and saw that her face was full of fear, her body was trembling, and her eyes were full of helplessness. Xiao Chen couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart. It seemed that these people who said that this little girl was a thief were probably talking nonsense, and they were just bullying others by taking advantage of their power.

Xiao Chen originally didn't want to get involved in such trivial matters. After all, this was the world of martial arts, which was completely different from the secular world. As the God of War, even if he had extraordinary abilities, it was impossible for him to interfere in everything.

But now that the other party was so unreasonable and openly provocative, his temper suddenly flared up, and he secretly decided that he had to intervene today. "We are in the same group, what do you think?" Xiao Chen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sneer, with a bit of teasing and disdain in his smile. While he was speaking, he moved as fast as lightning, grabbed the little girl's arm, turned around and ran towards the depths of the dense forest.

His figure was like a ghost, moving freely in the woods. In just a moment, he disappeared into the dense forest, leaving only some swaying branches and leaves, causing the people from the Oracle Gate to completely lose their target.

"Damn it, find him for me," Shen Lingling, the girl from the Oracle Gate, was so angry that her face turned red and her eyes were wide open as if fire was about to burst out. She shouted hysterically, "Even if I have to dig the Valley of Heroes three feet deep, I will find this guy for me!" As she roared, she stomped her feet so hard that the ground seemed to tremble slightly from her stomping.

"Miss Lingling, we shouldn't make a big deal about this," a tall and thin man nearby cautiously warned. His voice trembled slightly, and there was a trace of worry in his eyes. "After all, this is the territory of the Gods Society. If they find out why we're chasing that little girl, I'm afraid our plan will fail."

As he spoke, he nervously observed Shen Lingling's expression, afraid that his words would make her even angrier.

Shen Lingling was startled when she heard this, then she took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She bit her lips tightly, and the muscles on her face twitched slightly. Although she was still full of anger, she knew that her subordinates were right.

She slowly raised her head and looked coldly in the direction where Xiao Chen disappeared. She said viciously, "That kid has a ticket. Go check it out. Don't alarm him when you find him. Just keep an eye on him. As long as he leaves the Valley of Heroes, catch him immediately! I want to see how capable he is. How dare he act wildly in front of my Oracle Gate!"

After saying that, she flicked her sleeves, turned around and left with her men, leaving behind only a patch of trampled, messy grass as a witness to what had just happened.

"Yes!"

……

Xiao Chen took the dirty little girl with him, and they shuttled through the dense forest like lightning. Along the way, the wind whistled past their ears. The little girl held Xiao Chen's arm tightly, with fear of the unknown in her eyes, and a hint of dependence on the mysterious helper in front of her.

Soon, they returned to Xiao Chen's residence in the Hero Valley - a small bamboo house that was a little simple but full of peace.

Stepping into the bamboo house, Xiao Chen gently let go of the little girl's arm, bent down slightly, looked at her gently, and asked curiously, "You are not a thief, are you?" At this time, Xiao Chen's tone was a little inquiring, and his eyes were full of concern. In his mind, this little girl looked so frightened, she really didn't look like a thief.

"No!" The little girl shook her head vigorously, her voice clear but a little timid, and answered concisely. She raised her head and looked at Xiao Chen, her eyes seemed to hide endless grievances, but she didn't know where to start.

"Actually, it doesn't matter even if it is," Xiao Chen raised his lips slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, "You stole something from the Oracle Gate, even better!" As he spoke, he reached out and gently touched the little girl's head, with a bit of pampering, as if telling the little girl not to be afraid of anything. (End of this chapter)
