My Ares Son-in-Law

"Moreover, I will give you 100,000 low-grade spirit stones as a reward! As long as you can cure me, these 100,000 low-grade spirit stones will be yours. From now on, I, Shen Huo, will never cause trouble for you again."

Although Shen Huo's voice was trembling, it was extremely firm, as if he was making a final promise to Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen stood there, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, with a hint of sarcasm and disdain. He first shook his head slightly, as if he found Shen Huo's words extremely ridiculous and absurd.

Then, he threw his head back and burst into laughter. The laughter was like thunder, arrogant and wild, echoing in the slightly silent space, as if he had really encountered something extremely funny.

His laughter was full of wantonness and arrogance, and every laugh seemed to be slapping Shen Huo in the face.

"I say, old man, you still haven't figured out the situation."

Xiao Chen stopped laughing, stared at Shen Huo with cold eyes, and said word by word, "I saved you? All grudges are wiped out, and we will not interfere with each other from now on? What makes you say such shameless words?"

His voice suddenly rose, filled with anger and contempt, "How did you treat me before? Don't you know the answer? You relied on your status as an elder of the Oracle Sect to make things difficult for me and humiliate me wantonly. Now that you're dying, you want to just write it off so easily? You're too naive!"

"Everyone, I think this Elder Shen Huo should write a book called "Why Am I So Thick-skinned?"

Xiao Chen looked around and spoke loudly to the people around him with a playful smile on his face. His words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing ripples. People around him began to whisper to each other, with a hint of curiosity and a sense of watching a show in their eyes.

"Do you think you are giving alms? You are just like an idiot!" Xiao Chen looked at Shen Huo again, his tone full of disgust and contempt.

"You are the one who is about to die, not me! You are the one begging me, not me begging you! Look at the state you are in now. Why are you still putting on airs here? Do you think you are still the high and mighty elder of the Oracle Sect? You are just a poor creature who is about to die in front of me!"

Xiao Chen's words hit everyone's heart like a heavy hammer. People around began to whisper. Although they did not dare to offend the Oracle Sect and did not dare to speak loudly, they were extremely contemptuous in their hearts.

Everyone was secretly muttering in their hearts, Shen Huo was injured, was his brain broken, how could he say such outrageous and unrealistic words? Isn't he asking for trouble?

Of course, some people couldn't help laughing. In this depressing atmosphere, Xiao Chen's words were like a dose of stimulant, making some people unable to help but release the laughter in their hearts.

They felt that the Oracle Sect was usually so arrogant, but today they were being beaten to the ground by a nobody. Asking for help from someone and still acting like a big sect was even more outrageous than a domineering president getting the wrong script! This was simply a wonderful farce, which made them enjoy watching it.

Shen Huo stood there, his face looking like a cooked pig's liver, red with purple, purple with black. His body was trembling slightly with anger and humiliation, his hands were clenched into fists, his nails dug deep into his flesh.

He wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, or rush up and tear Xiao Chen into pieces. But he knew that he didn't have the ability to do so now.

It was because he was poisoned that his complexion didn't look so obvious. Otherwise, his miserable appearance would have attracted more attention. He was filled with regret and anger. He hated why he had fallen to such a state and why Xiao Chen didn't give him face. The discussions around him came one after another, like 360-degree surround sound, hitting his eardrums one after another, causing him unbearable pain.

Those words were like sharp swords, piercing straight into his ears, bringing unbearable pain and making him deeply experience what it meant to be ashamed.

He could clearly feel the gazes of the people around him, each of which was filled with undisguised contempt and ridicule, as if they were all saying, "Look, this is the invincible warrior who once dominated the Tianhe Realm, but now he has fallen into such an embarrassing situation."

This invincible and powerful Tianhe Realm warrior, who was usually surrounded by people and looked very majestic wherever he went, was now like a fighting cock with all its feathers plucked, with its wings drooping. He stood there, looking at a loss.

He was filled with helplessness and anger, repeatedly asking himself in his heart, how did things turn out like this? As an elder of the Oracle Gate, he had a high status, so why did he have to suffer such humiliation now?

A strong desire to resist surged in his heart, and he wanted to argue loudly to save his face.

However, when he saw Xiao Chen's unquestionable strong attitude and listened to the harsh sarcasm from the people around him, he suddenly realized that he was powerless to change anything and could only hold all his emotions in his heart.

Shen Qiang stood aside, looking at his father Shen Huo, his face turning pale and blue, his heart full of helplessness. He secretly blamed his father for being so foolish, and still wanted to show off at this time. He was clearly still counting on others to rescue him, but he put on a condescending attitude, which was just asking for trouble.

Shen Qiang wanted to step forward and persuade his father to humble himself and admit his mistake, but when he thought of his father's stubborn temper like an old ox, he knew that this was an almost impossible task.

My father has always been stubborn and self-willed. Once he makes up his mind, no one can change him. Getting him to bow his head in public is harder than climbing to the sky.

In desperation, Shen Qiang could only grit his teeth and decided to go up to Xiao Chen in person to plead for mercy.

Although he is at least a high-level warrior in the Tianhe Realm, and although his strength is not as good as his father Shen Huo, he also serves as an elder in the Oracle Sect and has a high status. He is usually treated as a superior by everyone.

It was extremely humiliating for him to beg Xiao Chen in front of so many people.

However, when he thought about his father's life being in danger, and also considered his future position in the Oracle Sect, if he didn't save his father, he would probably have a hard time gaining a foothold in the sect. After weighing the pros and cons, he could only bite the bullet and walk in the direction of Xiao Chen.

In the audience, Shen Lingling saw Shen Qiang's embarrassed expression, and then looked at Shen Huo who was stubborn and unwilling to bow his head, and couldn't help but sigh softly. She knew in her heart that among all the people present, she was probably the only one who could come forward to reverse this embarrassing situation.

She muttered to herself, "Okay, you all are too proud of your status to let go of your pride, so I, a junior, will risk my reputation to help you solve the problem." (End of this chapter)
