My Ares Son-in-Law

Shen Lingling was dressed in black, with a stern face and a scornful smile on her lips. Her eyes were full of disdain and ridicule, and she was casting cold glances in the direction of Xiao Chen and the others.

Her appearance was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly breaking the original harmony and tranquility and making the atmosphere of the entire restaurant tense.

At this moment, Shen Lingling was like a cold statue, standing there straight, her feet firmly rooted in the ground, and her whole body exuded a chill that kept strangers away.

Her eyes were like a deep pool in the cold night, cold and deep, staring at Xiao Chen intently, burning with hatred, as if she wanted to devour Xiao Chen alive. The hatred was like a materialized flame, spreading wantonly in the air, making the temperature around them seem to drop a few degrees.

In her mind, she couldn't help but recall the two things that Xiao Chen had messed up. If Xiao Chen hadn't suddenly intervened, they wouldn't have had to wait in line at that critical moment and missed the best opportunity.

Everything was going smoothly, but because of Xiao Chen's appearance, all the plans came to naught. And the crucial little girl was already under their control, and they could have successfully captured her with a little more effort, but in the end, Xiao Chen also made everything go to waste.

These two things were like two heavy rocks pressing on her heart. How could she not be angry and how could she swallow her anger?

"Miss Lingling, is this the guy who offended you?" There were several people gathered around Shen Lingling, both men and women, of various appearances.

The person who spoke was a man in his thirties, leaning forward slightly, with a flattering smile on his face. That smile was like a sweet pastry smeared with too much honey, which was disgusting.

His eyes were fixed on Shen Lingling, his eyes were full of flattery and fawning, and it was obvious that he was determined to climb up the high branch of Shen Lingling in an attempt to gain more benefits and status in the Oracle Gate.

Shen Lingling pretended not to hear the man's question. She simply ignored it and raised her head slightly. Her eyes were like knives, looking straight at Xiao Chen. Her tone was so cold that it seemed to freeze the air. She spoke word by word:

"I admire your courage. You know who I am and that I have ruined our good fortune, but you still dare to stay here and eat and drink. You are really not afraid of death!"

As she spoke, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, outlining a hint of sarcasm, and she looked as if she was looking at a clown who was not aware of his own life or death.

When Xiao Chen heard this, a look of disdain appeared on his face, and he snorted softly. Although the sound was not loud, it seemed to carry an invisible force, echoing in the air. "You little girl, you can't kill me."

He shook his head slightly, his eyes full of contempt, "You are relying on a powerful elder to bully others. Be careful not to provoke a real master." His tone was flat, but every word was like a needle, piercing Shen Lingling's vital points.

When Shen Lingling heard the words "the fox borrows the tiger's power to bully others", her already cold eyes instantly became sharper and her pupils suddenly shrank, as if her most sensitive nerve had been touched.

She hated it most when people said she was taking advantage of the power of others. In the Oracle Gate, she relied on her own talent and hard work to overcome all obstacles and became a genius in the eyes of everyone.

But once she walked out of the Oracle Gate, there were always people pointing fingers at her behind her back, saying that she was only so glorious because of her grandfather's prestige, which made her heart full of anger and unwillingness. At this moment, Xiao Chen exposed her in person, and the anger in her heart instantly burned fiercely. "How dare you say that I am relying on the power of others!" Her voice suddenly rose, with a bit of hysteria, her hands unconsciously clenched into fists, the joints turned slightly white due to the force, and the aura on her body began to fluctuate violently, as if it would explode at any time.

"Isn't it?" Xiao Chen still had that faint smile on his face. He said slowly, with a hint of teasing in his eyes, "If it weren't for your grandfather who is the Grand Elder, would you have so many bootlickers?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the fawning people around Shen Lingling, his tone full of sarcasm.

"Shut up!" The man next to Shen Lingling saw this and instantly became furious, like a powder keg that had been lit.

He took a step forward, his body trembling slightly with anger, and pointed his finger at Xiao Chen. His face turned red like a ripe tomato, and he shouted at the top of his voice: "You little bastard, you have no sect or faction, and you dare to mock us. You are nothing."

His voice was sharp and piercing, echoing in the restaurant and attracting the attention of diners around him. The originally lively restaurant was now filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, and a fierce conflict seemed to be about to break out.

Xiao Chen heard the man's angry roar, and the contempt on his face became more intense. He slowly moved his eyes away from Shen Lingling and fell on the man. His eyes were like a cold light, looking up and down at the other person, as if he was examining a worthless object.

After a moment, he smacked his lips lightly and said disdainfully: "A dog licker is a dog licker. You like to lick, but I'm not interested in that." As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes full of mockery, "I don't know what breed your dog is, is it a Teddy?"

The tone was as if someone was talking about something extremely funny and ridiculous. The voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone present, with a kind of teasing that could not be ignored.

The man, Huang Ting, the young master of Haohan Valley, turned pale and red when he heard such humiliating words, just like the sky before a storm, with dark clouds. His eyes suddenly widened, and his eyes were burning with anger, as if he wanted to completely devour Xiao Chen.

"Asshole, how dare you call me Teddy!" His voice became distorted due to anger, like the roar of a wounded beast, "Do you know who I am? I am Huang Ting, the young master of Haohan Valley!"

While roaring, he took a big step forward, trying to intimidate Xiao Chen with his identity. His aura surged, and the air around him seemed to tremble slightly because of his anger.

When Xiao Chen heard this, a different light suddenly flashed in his originally calm eyes, just like a hunter seeing his prey, and he became interested.

"Are you the young master of Haohan Valley?" He tilted his head slightly, revealing a meaningful smile on his face. There was a hint of cunning in that smile. "Then your father must be a bootlicker of the God Society, it really is a family tradition!"

His voice was not loud, but it was like thunder exploding in the ground, causing quite a commotion in the restaurant. The diners around him took a deep breath. They didn't expect Xiao Chen to be so bold as to say such sharp words in front of Huang Ting. (End of this chapter)
