My Ares Son-in-Law

Thinking of this, Shen Lingling stood up, straightened her clothes, took firm steps, and prepared to walk forward to plead with Xiao Chen.

Shen Lingling felt uncomfortable all over. Every minute and every second was like torture, as if she was in a hot steamer. Sweat oozed from her forehead, but she didn't dare wipe it off.

The frustration in her heart was like a volcano about to erupt, with hot magma surging in her body, but she had to suppress it, for fear that it would explode completely if she was not careful.

Finally, under the gaze of everyone, she gritted her teeth and reluctantly moved out of the crowd step by step, each step feeling like she was dragging a heavy burden.

She lowered her head, her hair hanging messily on both sides of her cheeks, her eyes were full of reluctance, and her steps were dragging as if they were filled with lead. It was not easy for her to walk in front of Xiao Chen.

She bowed deeply to Xiao Chen in a very unnatural manner. Her movements were as stiff as a puppet and her joints seemed to be rusted.

She raised her voice, with a hint of tears in her voice, and said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Xiao, I was wrong before. I didn't recognize the great man and offended you. As long as you can save my grandfather, you can let me kneel down for you!"

Shen Lingling was in a state of confusion, with all kinds of thoughts running wildly through her mind. She thought to herself that kneeling down was much better than asking her grandfather or father to kneel down.

After all, she is a junior. In this family, it is normal for the younger generation to suffer a little hardship and grievance. Forget it, just go for it. For grandpa, face is nothing! At this moment, she tightly grasped the corner of her clothes, and her knuckles turned white because of the force.

Xiao Chen folded his hands across his chest, the blue veins on his arms bulged slightly. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gaze was like two sharp knives, looking Shen Lingling up and down, as if he wanted to see through her.

The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a smile that was three parts sarcastic and seven parts cold, and he said slowly:
"Miss Shen's sincerity in this apology is even cheaper than the expired milk in the supermarket. You just threatened to destroy me, and now you're running to me to ask for help? What's going on? Are you guys from the Oracle Sect planning to use PUA on me, or are you trying to blackmail me?"

Shen Lingling was choked by Xiao Chen's words and almost bit her back teeth off. Her lips, which were painted with coral lipstick, trembled with anger. The expression on her face was distorted like a devil, and her originally delicate makeup now looked a little hideous.

She opened her eyes wide, tears seemed to well up in her eyes, and she shouted at the top of her lungs: "Are you still a man? I have already apologized so humbly, what else do you want? I am a woman, you are a grown man, can't you give in to me a little? What kind of ability is it to bully a woman!"

Xiao Chen burst out laughing as if he had heard a great joke. But the clear laughter seemed to contain ice chips, which made people feel cold inside.

With a mocking smile on his face, he said:
"The Oracle Gate has really taught me two things. First, never reason with a mad dog, or you will be bitten all over by it;
Second, don't believe the tears of a tigress, they are all crocodile tears, very fake. You are so arrogant, you even think of bullying a woman. Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, this won't count as bullying you!"

After saying that, Xiao Chen turned around and walked away without looking back. His steps were steady and powerful, and the hem of his long gown fluttered in the wind like a battle flag flying on the battlefield, with a sense of determination and elegance.

"Stop right there!" Shen Lingling screamed with all her might, her voice so sharp that it seemed to pierce the air, almost breaking her voice, as if she was going to shatter her entire throat. She knew clearly in her heart that if Shen Huoruo died like this, her position in the Oracle Gate would plummet, and she might not even be as good as a guard dog.

In the past, she was very popular in the Oracle Gate, holding real power and a very respected position. In that sphere of influence, no matter where she went, there were people fawning on her, nodding and bowing to her, and doing everything they could to flatter her.

She enjoyed the crowds and awe of the crowds, and her life was smooth and happy. But now, all these glory was like an illusory bubble, which was ruthlessly punctured by reality after Xiao Chen appeared, and was about to disappear without a trace.

Whenever she thought about losing the power and high position that she once held tightly in her hands, her heart felt like it was being pierced by dense steel needles. The pain and panic intertwined, making her feel uneasy.

And this time, if you trace the source of the conflict, you will find that you are the culprit who offended Xiao Chen. The more Shen Lingling thought about it, the more scared she felt. Cold sweat broke out from her forehead uncontrollably, like fine beads of sweat forming a net that soon covered her forehead.

The clothes on her back were already soaked with sweat and stuck to her back. The cold touch made her more aware of the difficulty of her situation. She knew that if Shen Huo really died like this, she would lose far more than just power and status. If things went wrong, she would be severely held accountable by the top leaders of the Oracle Gate.

After all, if he had not acted so arrogantly and provocatively before and offended Xiao Chen, Shen Huo would not have acted rashly to protect himself.

If Shen Huo had not taken action, he would never have been injured by Achou. If he had not been injured by Achou, he would not be lying there weak and helpless like he is now, with his life hanging by a thread and his fate uncertain.

As for Xiao Chen, it seemed as if he didn't hear Shen Lingling's sharp cry at all, as if her voice was just the flow of air and could not stir up any ripples.

Without even turning his head, he walked with his long, straight legs, steady and fast, with great vigor. Every step he took was accompanied by an innate, irresistible and powerful aura, as if the land beneath his feet was under his control.

The onlookers around saw the tense situation and felt the strong pressure emanating from Xiao Chen, and they couldn't help but automatically make way for him.

The scene was solemn and dignified, just like the ancient people making way for a general who had returned victoriously with great military achievements. The crowd was filled with awe and worship.

Xiao Chen noticed the reactions of the people around him, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised with a faint, slightly sarcastic smile. He looked like a bomb disposal expert who had just successfully dismantled a dangerous bomb. He was filled with a sense of ease and relaxation as if he had won so much after going through so much hardship.

At this moment, he seemed like a king standing at the pinnacle of power, overlooking all living things, disdaining everything around him, as if nothing in the world could catch his eye. (End of this chapter)
