My Ares Son-in-Law

The Immortal Abode Contract—could it be a contract signed with these mythical figures?
Xiao Chen frowned deeply, his mind a bit confused, as if he had entered a complex maze and couldn't find a way out.

A flood of questions surged through his mind, leaving him utterly perplexed.

But the signs were all too clear: the Spirit Tablet Transformation Tower had been activated, and this person was in a state where he could be awakened!
Xiao Chen could clearly sense that the tower contained a powerful force, as if it were waiting for his summons.

If he were to focus his mind and communicate with the tower, the Heavenly King Mo Lishou would likely appear before him in some form.

This power was like an alluring treasure, making him both excited and somewhat apprehensive.

"A chance..."

Xiao Chen muttered to himself, his voice low and thoughtful.

He clearly sensed that each tombstone might only have one chance to be activated.

It's like opening a precious treasure chest; there's only one key, and if you miss it, you might lose the treasure inside forever.

This is undoubtedly his most powerful and most secretive trump card at present.

The land of the Dragon Kingdom is teeming with hidden talents and unfathomable depths.

This vast land is home to countless masters and mysterious forces.

The quietly developing Prison Clan is like a venomous snake lurking in the darkness, ready to bare its sharp fangs at any moment; the various forces surging undercurrents in the ancient city are also not to be trifled with, each harboring their own purpose, and secretly vying for power and fighting.

In such an environment, preserving such a powerful trump card and using it at a crucial moment can have a decisive and reversing effect.

It should never be used lightly unless it is a matter of life and death or a last resort.

Xiao Chen secretly warned himself that he must treat this trump card with caution and make it a guarantee for his survival and rise in this complex world.

As his consciousness slowly withdrew from that mysterious and unpredictable inner sanctum, Xiao Chen felt refreshed, as if he had undergone a deep fusion with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

He stood still, tilted his head slightly, and took a deep breath of the fresh morning air, which carried a hint of coolness and the scent of fresh grass.

The air, like a lively sprite, entered his body through his nostrils, awakening every cell in him and filling him with vitality.

After a night of cultivation and breakthrough, his body felt as if it had undergone a transformative baptism.

Under the tempering of the immortal power like a babbling brook, and the enormous energy impact brought about by the improvement of his realm, the deeply hidden impurities inside his body were expelled from his body like dust sucked up by a powerful vacuum cleaner.

He moved his arms slightly, loosened his muscles and bones, and his joints made a soft "crackling" sound, as if his body was singing joyfully.

He subconsciously sniffed himself, and a sour smell hit his nose, like the odor of fruit that had been left out for a long time and had gone bad, making him wrinkle his nose involuntarily.

He looked down at himself; his once clean and tidy clothes were now covered with a thin layer of dirt, making him look somewhat disheveled.

Without hesitation, he picked up his change of clothes and walked briskly towards the bathroom, ready to take a good shower and refresh himself.

……

Meanwhile, in the cozy yet slightly noisy environment of the Grand Mansion.

Sunlight streamed through the cracks in the window, casting golden threads onto the dining table and adding a warm hue to the room. Yun Yuyan and Zhou Keying had already woken up early and were sitting at the table with a simple breakfast laid out before them.

Yun Yuyan was wearing loose loungewear, her hair casually draped over her shoulders, giving her a somewhat languid look.

She held a spoon in her hand, unconsciously stirring the cereal in her bowl, her eyes somewhat unfocused, as if she were thinking about something.

She didn't sleep well last night, waking up several times.

Every time she woke up, she would make a point of going to the living room and Xiao Chen's room to check, but each time she found them empty.

That guy is like a mysterious ghost, always appearing and disappearing without a trace, and no one knows what he's busy with.

A faint sense of worry and curiosity welled up in her heart; she worried that he might have encountered some danger, and wondered what he was doing that no one else knew about.

Just as Yun Yuyan was lost in her thoughts, the screen of her phone on the table suddenly lit up and vibrated slightly.

This time was all too familiar to her; it was usually the time when the authoritative local media outlet, the Ancient City Daily, would push out its daily headline news.

Yun Yuyan was already used to this, and even somewhat annoyed by it.

At this time every day, her phone is like an unwelcome visitor, bringing her messages that she has no interest in.

These push notifications were nothing more than personnel changes at the top of certain large corporations, the job changes of those high-ranking managers, which seemed to be separated from her life by a thick glass, both distant and uninteresting; or which two companies had completed mergers and acquisitions, and the business intrigues and conflicts of interest seemed to her like a series of boring dramas, utterly devoid of substance.

She frowned, reluctantly put down her spoon, and reached for her phone to see what "boring" news it was today.

She casually reached out and picked up her phone as if it were any unimportant item she would normally pick up.

My fingers rested lightly on the phone, without any sign of applying pressure, and then I casually glanced at the push notification title.

His gaze was as if he were looking at an ordinary advertising flyer on the roadside, without any expectation.

However, that one glance was like a bolt from the blue, instantly shattering her previously calm heart.

The expression on her face froze instantly. The faint, nonchalant sneer that had been there was frozen in place, as if a pause button had been pressed, and she could no longer move.

The hand holding the phone trembled slightly, as if struck by an invisible force.

This slight tremor triggered a series of chain reactions.

In her other hand, the glass that had just been filled with milk, which she was holding steadily, seemed to lose its support and slipped directly from her fingertips.

A sharp "crack" sounded, like a firecracker suddenly exploding in the night sky, particularly jarring in the quiet room.

The glass shattered on the floor, and milky white milk spilled out like a burst dam, flowing freely across the clean floor.

Yun Yuyan, however, seemed to be in another world, completely unaware of the chaotic scene before her.

Her eyes were fixed on the phone screen, as if it held some earth-shattering secret.

His pupils dilated with extreme shock, like two black gemstones suddenly stretched open, losing their usual liveliness. (End of Chapter)
