My Ares Son-in-Law

As they reached the entrance, Zhuang Yuan suddenly raised his voice: "I urge you to reconsider the matter of the Life and Death Arena. The Yang family and the Lu family have formed an alliance, and they will have at least three seats on the judges' bench!"

Xiao Chen hesitated slightly before finally disappearing at the end of the corridor.

Huang Tian quietly entered the room: "Zhuang Zhenshou will never back down."

Zhuang Yuan stared at the crack in the teacup: "Prepare a special plane; I need to see the Commander-in-Chief. You take the special order and infiltrate the scene. If the situation becomes critical, show your cards to protect your person."

"Using the red channel for him?" The middle-aged man beside him was shocked. "Was it worth it?"

This man is Zhuang Yuan's son and his deputy. He is skilled in martial arts and holds a relatively high position.

Zhuang Yuan looked out the window at the churning night clouds: "When a dragon enters the sea, it will naturally stir up the wind and clouds. Today I bet that it can leap over the Dragon Gate!"

Meanwhile, at Xiao Chen's villa in the ancient city.

When Yun Yuyan got home from get off work, she found the house completely dark.

Compared to the usual noisy trio, the silence at this moment was unsettling.

She could understand when Xiao Chen told Zhou Keying during the day that she had been taken back to her ancestral home, but now even Xiao Chen was nowhere to be found?
She stayed on the sofa until 11 p.m., but no one answered her phone.

"Could something have happened...?"

The events of the past few days surged through Yun Yuyan's mind, making her restless. She refused to admit that the man's image was already etched into her heart.

Suddenly, a bitter medicinal scent wafted to her nose. She looked sharply towards a dark room in the villa, a place she had never been to before, but Xiao Chen still gave her the key.

She took a deep breath, unlocked the door with her key, and then pushed the door open to see Xiao Chen sitting cross-legged on the ground, with crimson energy flowing around him, and a dark blue flame dancing in his palm. A medicine cauldron made of celestial power was suspended in front of him!

"Om-"

Once the elixir was finished, Xiao Chen opened his eyes, rolled over, and jumped up, just in time to bump into Yun Yuyan, who was standing dumbfounded at the door.

"How did you find it?"

Yun Yuyan steadied herself by holding onto the door frame, her voice trembling: "Holy crap, this really is yours, not that President Lin's?"

Xiao Chen chuckled and nodded, leading her into the living room. At this point, there was no need to hide these material possessions.

“I have never denied that this place belongs to me. In fact, Lin Youya is just a resident here. But speaking of which, it’s been so long since that girl Lin Youya returned to Linhai, and there’s still no news of her. It’s quite worrying.”

Xiao Chen thought of Lin Youya, after all, on the surface, he was still Lin Youya's bodyguard.

"...Never mind, my brain is about to shut down. I'm going to take a shower!"

She turned and slipped away.

After taking a bath, Yun Yuyan, wrapped in a towel and applying a face mask, suddenly leaned forward and asked, "By the way, what are you planning to give Keying for her birthday party the day after tomorrow? Don't give her any more tacky jewelry."

Xiao Chen's expression changed drastically.

Zhou Keying's birthday happens to be tomorrow, the same day as the appointment at the Battle of Life and Death!
After applying her face mask, Yun Yuyan solemnly carried her pillow to the master bedroom.

Just before closing the door, she peeked out, her eyes sparkling: "My long-cherished wish has finally been fulfilled, and Little Chenchen, you deserve all the credit."

"The night is long, and the night is just right. Would you like to come and warm my bed?"

Xiao Chen pretended to get up, and she immediately stuck out her tongue and shrank back behind the door.

"It's inconvenient today, let's discuss it another day."

another day?

Xiao Chen shook his head and chuckled, then turned and walked into the secret room to begin meditating.

Although they were quite confident in their ability to defeat Yang Nantian, it would never hurt to improve their strength even a little.

After all, his real opponents weren't these scumbags, but the Prison Clan hiding in the shadows.

There has been no news from the Prison Clan during this period, which is too unreasonable and too quiet, giving people a feeling that a storm is brewing.

Of course, even if an even more terrifying being appears, he has his own trump cards.

These are the mysterious memorial tablets that appeared in the immortal palace within the body.

"That's enough, I'll focus on my cultivation."

Although he is very strong, he still needs to be extra cautious. After all, he only has one life, and if he is careless, it may be too late to regret it.

As he circulated the cultivation technique, a faint golden light emanated from his body. Milky white immortal energy surged in his dantian like a swimming dragon.

Suddenly, a terrifying energy surged from his immortal abode, hanging above his head and casting wisps of clear light.

The entire secret room shone with golden light, and his cultivation level rose at an astonishing speed... The next morning, Xiao Chen opened his eyes and began to breathe.

After a night of arduous cultivation, he truly broke through his cultivation level and reached the seventh level of the Bigu Realm. Although his Immortal Mansion level did not improve, for someone of his level, advancing to each level was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

"The spiritual energy in the secular world is scarce; logically, one shouldn't be progressing so rapidly..."

He gazed at the now-silent celestial abode.

"Could it be that you are the one helping them?"

The celestial abode suddenly trembled slightly, as if nodding.

"You're psychic?"

Just as they were about to investigate further, Yun Yuyan's voice came from outside the door:
"Little Chenchen, breakfast is ready! Don't miss out!"

"Coming!"

After the meal, Yun Yuyan went to the group, and Xiao Chen contacted Huang Tian to retrieve the pill.

Ten minutes later, the doorbell rang.

Huang Tian stood respectfully outside the door: "Boss, I apologize for disturbing you..."

He always maintained a humble demeanor; after all, while others might not know how terrifying Xiao Chen was, he did.

Xiao Chen picked up the eco-friendly bag from the coffee table and handed it to him.

Huang Tian quickly declined, saying, "You're too kind, I've already had breakfast."

Xiao Chen raised an eyebrow: "Fifty Body Tempering Pills, take them or leave them."

Pills?!
Huang Tian's hands trembled as he accepted the plastic bag. Such a miraculous medicine was packaged in such simple packaging?

He hurriedly shouted to his companion, "Quickly, bring the thermostatic safe!"

"But the box contains important evidence..."

"Clear everything immediately! Evidence can be collected again, but can you afford to take responsibility for the damage to the elixirs?"

Seeing this, Xiao Chen chuckled: "The pills I refine aren't that delicate. If there's a problem, I'll compensate tenfold."

Huang Tian breathed a sigh of relief and solemnly saluted: "On behalf of the Martial Arts Army and the entire Yama Palace, I thank you!"

"No need for formalities."

Just as they were about to close the gate, Huang Tian said urgently, "Zhou Zhenshou asked me to convey that no matter what tricks the Yang family uses on the Life and Death Arena tomorrow, we will definitely lend a hand!"

"That's thoughtful."

As the door closed, a whisper came from the end of the corridor: "By the way, Miss Zhou sent an invitation this morning; the birthday banquet has been moved to tomorrow at 1-3 PM..."

……

A private room in the ancient city's teahouse.

Yang Nantian and Lu Fengnan sat on either side, while the old man at the head of the table exuded an imposing aura without anger.

It was Situ Xiong, the vice president of the Western Region New Martial Arts Association, who once ranked 700th on the Heavenly Ranking!

Yang Nantian presented a sandalwood box, saying, "Before Senior Situ, how dare we call ourselves celestial beings?"

The moment the box was opened, Situ Xiong's pupils constricted slightly: "North Sea Mystic Ice Ginseng? This item is extremely rare and hard to come by."

"Only you, senior, are worthy of such a rare and precious treasure."

Situ Xiong stroked his beard and nodded: "If you are interested, I can introduce you to the New Martial Arts Association."

Yang Nantian suppressed his joy and tentatively asked, "What guidance does Senior have for us on the life-or-death arena tomorrow?"

Situ Xiong glanced at him: "A junior in his early twenties, is he really worth your so much fear?"

“Senior, you may not know this,” Yang Nantian interjected, “but this boy obtained some kind of evil elixir from who-knows-where, and after taking it, his power increased dramatically! He even boasted that even if you were present, you couldn't stop him from killing!”

The tea table beneath Situ Xiong's hand shattered with a crack: "Insolence! If he dares to take forbidden drugs, I will personally cripple his cultivation!"

Situ Xiong's promise made Yang Nantian ecstatic!

With this powerful figure ranked within the top 700 of the Celestial Ranking personally presiding over the referee's seat, Xiao Chen had absolutely no chance of survival! (End of Chapter)
