My Ares Son-in-Law

The Zhou Keying that Xiao Chen knew might have a playful and lively side in private, but in front of outsiders, she was always reserved, aloof, and unapproachable, like a flawless ice sculpture.

He never imagined that she would do something so shocking, so outrageous, so almost insane, in front of everyone!

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Zhou Fenfang. Her face was beyond ugly; it was as black as the bottom of a pot. Her body was trembling slightly. For some reason, her lips moved, but she didn't say anything to stop him.

Time seemed to stretch out infinitely at this moment.

The gentle touch, carrying a slight coolness and a faint, elegant floral fragrance unique to Zhou Keying, lingered on Xiao Chen's forehead and cheeks for a full three or four seconds.

Zhou Keying then slowly left.

Two beautiful blushes rose on Zhou Keying's cheeks, like the most radiant sunset. She lowered her eyelids slightly, tiny teardrops still clinging to her long eyelashes, her voice as soft as a dream, yet clearly reaching Xiao Chen's ears:

"Thank you, Xiao Chen."

Xiao Chen felt a surge of warmth in his heart, and was just about to say something to explain...

"Zhou! Keying!"

A roar like that of a wounded beast suddenly exploded from behind him, filled with unbelievable anger and overwhelming humiliation!
The one who spoke was Lü Kuang, whose face had turned from red to green, then from green to purple, and whose features were twisted and ferocious due to extreme anger!

He was absolutely furious! He was about to explode!
Young Master Lü's fiancée! The future mistress of the Lü family! How dare she... how dare she be intimate with another man in front of so many people?!
This is an utter disgrace! It is a complete and utter humiliation to the entire Lü family! It is a resounding slap in the face to the Lü family!

Zhou Keying is playing with fire! She's pushing the entire Zhou family to their doom! Young Master Lü's wrath is enough to burn the Zhou family to the ground!

Zhou Fenfang was startled awake by the roar, her face turning deathly pale. She hurriedly stepped forward to explain, "Mr. Lü! Calm down! It's a misunderstanding! Keying was just a little agitated, she..."

"Go away!"

Lu Kuang was furious and wouldn't listen to any explanations. His internal energy surged, unleashing an invisible wave of energy. Zhou Fenfang was just an ordinary woman; how could she withstand it? She cried out in alarm, staggered backward by the wave, and fell to the ground with a thud, looking utterly disheveled and drained of all color from her face.

Lu Kuang didn't even glance at Zhou Fenfang; his fiery eyes were fixed on Zhou Keying. He suddenly raised his finger, pointing it at her with a sharp, menacing air, his words as venomous as a viper's hiss:
“Zhou Keying! You shameless bastard…”

The word "person" has not yet been uttered!

A sudden change occurred!

Everyone only saw a blur before their eyes as a dark shadow flashed by like a ghost!

Lu Kuang felt an extremely sharp, death-inducing gust of wind rushing straight towards his face! As a martial arts master, he instinctively raised his right hand to block in the moment of crisis, while his internal energy exploded!
"Crack!"

A clear, piercing sound of bone cracking rang out!
With a piercing scream from Lü Kuang, his right wrist, which was infused with internal energy and powerful enough to split rocks, was snapped off by an irresistible force, like a fragile withered branch! It bent in a bizarre reverse direction!

But this is not over yet!
"Slap—!" A resounding slap, followed by the sound of bone cracking, landed heavily on Lü Kuang's left cheek!

The force of that slap was far beyond imagination! Lu Kuang felt his head buzz, stars flashed before his eyes, and the world spun around him. He felt as if he had been hit by a speeding truck, and he was thrown uncontrollably into the air, tracing a messy arc before crashing heavily onto the carpet below the stage with a muffled thud, kicking up some dust.

The entire banquet hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone was stunned by the sudden turn of events, staring dumbfounded at Xiao Chen, who had suddenly made his move on the stage, and then at Lü Kuang, who was lying on the ground like a dead dog, groaning with his face covered.

Lu Kuang felt dizzy and his wrist and cheek were in excruciating pain, almost making him faint. He shook his head, trying to support himself with his left hand.

A gleaming leather shoe, carrying immense force, stomped mercilessly onto his chest!
"puff!"

Lu Kuang's breath, which he had just managed to muster, was instantly crushed. A sharp pain shot through his chest, and a sweet taste rose in his throat, almost causing him to spit out blood. He looked up in horror, meeting Xiao Chen's gaze that was looking down at him.

icy!

Bone-chilling cold!
There was no longer any tenderness in his eyes when he was looking at Zhou Keying; only a chilling killing intent, like that of an ancient glacier, remained, as if he were looking at a dead person.

"You should feel fortunate," Xiao Chen said, his voice low but carrying a chilling aura that sent shivers down everyone's spine. "Today is Keying's birthday, a special day for her. Otherwise, you would be a corpse by now."

He paused, then increased the pressure on his foot slightly, grinding it so hard that Lü Kuang's sternum creaked, and the latter let out a painful groan.

"I don't want your dirty blood to contaminate even an inch of this villa." Xiao Chen's voice carried an unquestionable tone of command. "Now, get out!"

Lu Kuang struggled desperately, trying to use his internal energy to shake off the foot, but found that a terrifying pressure, as heavy and boundless as a mountain, was tightly enveloping him! It suppressed all his internal energy, making him unable to move! He couldn't even lift a finger!
How...how is this possible?! What is this kid's cultivation level?!

The endless fear was like ice water poured over his head, but even more so, it was the madness brought about by the arrogance and humiliation inherent in the Lü family.

He endured the excruciating pain and fear, glaring at Xiao Chen with a fierce but ultimately weak threat: "You...do you know who I am?! I'm from the Lü family! The Lü family of the Western Region! You...you dare touch me...the Lü family will never let you go! Unless...unless you kneel down and kowtow to me right now to admit your mistake!"

"The Lü family?" Xiao Chen repeated the two words, his tone flat, revealing neither joy nor anger.

"Yes! Scared now?! Kneel down now, cut off your own hands, and I might still leave you with a whole corpse!" Seeing that Xiao Chen seemed to hesitate, Lü Kuang assumed he was scared, and a ferocious and triumphant look reappeared on his face, even though the expression was distorted by pain.

However, the next second, Xiao Chen's voice rang out again, like a thunderclap, exploding in the deathly silent hall:
"What is the Lü family anyway?"

The ferocious smile on Lü Kuang's face instantly froze and solidified!
Everyone in the audience seemed to have stopped breathing; they were all dumbfounded and their scalps tingled!
What...what did he say?
What are the Lü family anyway?!

He actually dared to say... what is the Lü family anyway?!

They've gone mad! Absolutely mad! The Lü family is no ordinary family; they're top-tier martial arts giants who dominate the western region and whose mere presence shakes the entire province! (End of Chapter)
