My Ares Son-in-Law

Zhou Hongyan could clearly "see"—no, that feeling was far beyond what sight could encompass; it was an extremely keen feeling that reached the depths of her soul!

The warm current, like a torrent formed by countless tiny and dazzling golden specks, surged and crashed wildly through the swollen and painful area of ​​her legs, which seemed shrouded in darkness.

Each golden dot of light was like a tiny yet incredibly sharp blade, ruthlessly severing the ever-present stillness and excruciating pain, forcefully driving them out of her body.

The ruptured muscle fibers, which were originally scattered haphazardly like threads torn by a gale, now seemed to be rapidly stitched together by countless invisible yet incredibly skillful threads.

Those golden specks of light weave through the gaps, precisely finding each broken point and carefully yet resolutely piecing them together, restoring the tattered muscle fibers to their original integrity and giving them new vitality.

The misaligned joints, like building blocks scattered by a naughty child, have strayed from their original positions, causing her endless pain.

At that moment, a gentle yet irresistible force, like a warm and powerful hand, gently yet firmly pushed these dislocated joints back into their original positions.

Each push brought a slight tingling sensation, but it also gave her an unprecedented feeling of comfort, as if every cell in her body was cheering and jumping for joy.

My right leg, which was originally as heavy as lead and completely numb, was like a lifeless wreck abandoned in the darkness.

However, under the fierce impact of this domineering warm current, it was like a withered tree injected with fresh blood, regaining... vitality?!

It was an indescribable feeling, as if an invisible force was surging in her right leg, causing her toes to twitch slightly. Then, her calf began to regain sensation, like the first gentle breeze of spring caressing her numb skin.

Zhou Hongyan's beautiful eyes widened, her once bright and resolute eyes now filled with extreme shock and incomprehensible confusion.

Her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't utter a single word.

This was beyond her comprehension!

She had experienced countless brutal battles and suffered countless serious injuries. She had tried all the top battlefield first aid methods of the Underworld. Even the national-level doctors hired by her family at great expense, who used all kinds of rare medicinal materials and miraculous medical skills, could not make her recover from her injuries so quickly and miraculously.

No method can compare to what's happening right now!
This is simply... a miracle!

Healing with internal energy?! This is something that only happens in fantasy novels...

Scenes from martial arts novels flashed through her mind: a peerless master channeling his inner energy into the palm of his hand, sending a magical stream of true qi into the body of an injured person, instantly bringing them back to life and healing their wounds.

But she never imagined that such a scene would actually happen to her, especially on this bloody, filthy battlefield filled with the aura of death, and to be performed by this man who was as cold and mysterious as an iceberg.

The warm current seemed to possess its own will, and after completing the initial "repair" of the severe injury, it showed no signs of stopping.

Like a flood bursting its banks, it surged upwards along the intricate network of meridians within her body with unstoppable momentum.

The feeling was like a giant dragon awakening inside her body, freely roaming and traversing, bringing a sense of security wherever it went.

This warm current instantly swept through my body, and wherever it passed, the stiffness that had been tightly wrapped by cold, fear and despair melted away like the remaining snow in spring.

An unprecedented sense of comfort, originating from the deepest part of her being, rose slowly from the soles of her feet like a warm tide, gradually engulfing her completely. Every weary cell seemed to have been waiting in darkness for a long time, and now it finally welcomed the long-awaited rain. They cheered and absorbed the vitality and energy brought by this warm current.

Extreme pain and extreme comfort were transformed in an incredible instant.

This stark contrast was like a sudden storm, violently impacting her nerves, which were already stretched to their limit.

The nerves that were originally as taut as a fully drawn bowstring suddenly relaxed, and the whole person seemed to lose all strength, limply immersed in this endless comfort.

An uncontrollable moan, filled with utter languor and satisfaction, escaped uncontrollably from between her tightly clenched lips:

"Mmm..."

The voice was melodious and lingering, as if it were a melody flowing from the depths of her soul, carrying a hint of allure that she herself was unaware of.

The sound was like a soft feather, gently brushing against one's heart, causing ripples to stir within.

In the deathly silence of the wilderness, the sound was exceptionally clear and jarring, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly shattering the stillness.

The moment the words left her mouth, Zhou Hongyan seemed to be struck by lightning and abruptly covered her mouth.

Her cheeks instantly burned like fire, as if they were being scorched by flames, the intense heat seeming to ignite the surrounding air.

She looked up in alarm, her eyes filled with panic and shyness, only to meet Xiao Chen's unfathomable eyes, which now held a subtle scrutiny.

His eyes were calm and still, like a bottomless lake, without the slightest ripple.

However, Zhou Hongyan felt that beneath this calm exterior, there seemed to be an invisible force that saw right through her, inside and out.

Her heart suddenly raced, as if it were about to leap out of her throat. Her hands unconsciously clenched the hem of her clothes, her knuckles turning white from the force.

She wanted to lower her head to avoid Xiao Chen's scrutinizing gaze, but she seemed to be nailed to the spot, unable to move, and could only awkwardly stare at him, the blush on her cheeks growing even more intense.

God!

Zhou Hongyan, what on earth are you doing?!
Her heart was screaming wildly, each word like a heavy hammer blow striking her heart.

You actually made that kind of... that incredibly embarrassing sound in front of a strange man!
That voice was like an indelible stain, deeply imprinted in her memory, making her feel ashamed every time she thought about it.

What's more, this happened right after surviving a life-or-death ordeal!

One moment she was struggling on the brink of death, surrounded by the pervasive smoke of gunpowder, the acrid smell of blood, and the ever-present threat of recurrence; the next, she was uttering such a distraught voice in front of a man. (End of Chapter)
