My Ares Son-in-Law

In another room, the lights were dim and dark, and there was an oppressive atmosphere all around. The candlelight on the wall flickered gently, casting mottled light and shadows, as if telling of the upcoming conspiracy.

Yin Zhong's face was gloomy, and he slowly took out a black pill from his arms. This pill exuded a strange aura, and the surface was flickering with a faint light, as if it was hiding endless secrets.

He placed the pill in his palm, his eyes revealing a hint of cunning and ruthlessness, and said to Sun Chengye: "Sun Chengye, this thing is very poisonous. After taking it, you will have to lie in bed for at least a year before you can recover."

His voice was low and cold, and every word was like an icy dagger, piercing Sun Chengye's nerves.

Hearing this, Sun Chengye's brows knitted instantly, his eyes full of doubt and vigilance. He stared closely at the pill in Yin Zhong's hand, as if it was a time bomb.

His lips trembled slightly, and there was a hint of anger and dissatisfaction in his voice: "You let me eat this thing?" He really didn't understand why Yin Zhong asked him to eat such a poisonous thing. Isn't this harming him?

Yin Zhong sneered, and that laugh was like the cry of a night owl, which made people shudder. His eyes revealed a trace of disdain and ridicule, and he said: "If you can defeat Xiao Chen, you don't have to eat, but if you can't defeat him, then you will die. At that time, you still won't eat?"

His tone was full of threats and coercion, as if telling Sun Chengye that this was his only choice.

"I tell you, although this thing has great side effects, its effect is also extremely terrifying. It can make you have the strength of a high-level Tianhe Realm warrior in a short period of time." Yin Zhong continued, his eyes flashing with greed and desire, as if he saw the scene of Sun Chengye defeating Xiao Chen after taking the pill.

"I'll give it to you first, use it if you want." He threw the pill to Sun Chengye, his action full of provocation and disdain.

Sun Chengye reached out to take the pill, feeling that it was heavy, as if it carried his fate. He hesitated for a moment, his eyes full of struggle and contradiction.

He knew that this was the last resort, and if he couldn't win, he would have to use this thing to save his life. But he also knew that taking this pill meant enduring great pain and side effects, and it might even cause permanent damage to his body.

Finally, Sun Chengye slowly put the pill away. He took a deep breath and his eyes became firm.

He secretly made up his mind that he must defeat Xiao Chen without taking the pill. But if it really came to a life-and-death moment, he would not hesitate and would take the pill without hesitation, no matter how great the price.

……

In the accommodation arranged by the Oracle Gate during this grand event, the rooms were decorated quite luxuriously, with carved beams and painted rafters and exquisite decorations, but the atmosphere in the house at this time was as depressing as the sky before a storm.

Shen Lingling's face was covered with tears, and her eyes were red and swollen from crying, like two ripe peaches. She stamped her feet and waved her hands constantly, extremely emotional, and shouted loudly: "Grandpa, I don't care, you have to avenge me, that nasty guy, I want him dead!"

Her voice was sharp and piercing, echoing in the room, as if she wanted to vent all the resentment and anger in her heart. Her body trembled slightly because of anger and grievance, and every movement was full of unwillingness. Shen Huo sat on the chair, his face was as gloomy as the sky before rain, and his eyes revealed a hint of displeasure and dissatisfaction. He glanced at Shen Lingling coldly, and that look was like a cold sword, which made Shen Lingling quiet instantly.

He stood up slowly, put his hands behind his back, and said sternly: "Why are you crying? How dare you offend someone like that? He is less than 20 years old, but he has already cultivated to the peak of the middle level of Tianhe Realm. Even your grandfather doesn't want to offend such a monster, but you offend him? I really spoil you!"

His voice was low and powerful, and every word was like a hammer, striking Shen Lingling's heart.

Shen Huo's brows were knitted together, and the wrinkles on his face became more obvious because of anger. He paced back and forth in the room, his steps were heavy and hurried, as if he was thinking about something.

He knew very well that behind such a talented young man, there might be a powerful force or a mysterious background.

If he easily provoked her, it would probably bring huge trouble to the Oracle Gate. He was very angry at Shen Lingling's willfulness and impulsiveness, and felt that she was too ignorant and did not consider the consequences.

Shen Lingling was so frightened by Shen Huo's words that she dared not cry out loud anymore. She lowered her head, twisted the corners of her clothes with her hands, and her body trembled slightly. She knew that she had caused a big disaster this time, and her grandfather's words made her realize the seriousness of the matter.

Her heart was filled with fear and regret. She regretted that she should not have been so impulsive and provoked that mysterious young man.

She secretly raised her head and glanced at Shen Huo from the corner of her eye, only to see that Shen Huo's face was still gloomy. She quickly lowered her head again, not daring to look again. The atmosphere in the room became more depressing, and Shen Lingling stood there quietly, waiting for Shen Huo's further decision.

Shen Qiang stood aside, looking at the aggrieved Shen Lingling and gloomy Shen Huo. After thinking for a moment, he slowly said, "Dad, don't blame Lingling. This kid has been against us from the beginning. Even if Lingling doesn't take the initiative to deal with him, he will still cause trouble for us and target our Oracle Sect."

Shen Qiang's voice was steady and firm, and every word he said was filled with protection for Shen Lingling.

He took a step forward and continued, "Moreover, he saved that little girl in front of Lingling, which prevented us from getting that thing. That thing is extremely important to our Oracle Sect, and he ruined our good fortune."

There was a hint of unwillingness and anger in Shen Qiang's eyes. Thinking of the thing that was about to be in his hands being destroyed by Xiao Chen, his heart was filled with resentment.

After hearing what Shen Qiang said, Shen Huo sighed slightly, and the expression on his face eased a little. He slowly walked to Shen Lingling and said earnestly:
"I'm not blaming her, but with her personality, she will suffer in public sooner or later. This time I'm here, no one can touch her, but what if she's out there alone? What if she meets someone more powerful than this guy? What should I do then?"

Shen Huo's eyes were full of worry and care. He knew very well how dangerous the world was and was worried that Shen Lingling would be in danger because of her willfulness and impulsiveness.

Shen Lingling raised her head, her eyes full of tears, and looked at Shen Huo pitifully, saying with tears in her eyes: "Grandpa, I don't dare anymore. But that guy is so hateful, don't you want to deal with him? Not only did he ruin our good deeds, he also humiliated Lingling. Lingling really can't swallow this breath." (End of this chapter)
