My Ares Son-in-Law

As for when I'll come again... it all depends on my mood. Maybe a month, maybe six months, or maybe a year from now.

In any case, the agreement made at the beginning was for absolute freedom.

The reason he trained the Martial Arts Army was because he himself was the God of War, and he hoped that the Dragon Kingdom would become stronger.

In addition, the day when the Prison Clan launches the disaster is drawing ever closer, and he must cultivate as many helpers as possible, the more the better, otherwise, once that day comes, he will be completely overwhelmed.

Moreover, what's the point if he's the only living person left in the world?

Moreover, with him around, these kids are less likely to go astray.

Just like Huang Tian, ​​Huang Jian, Di Tianyan, Jun Moxie and others back then.

The car drove back to the ancient city, and Zhuang Yuan personally escorted Xiao Chen to the gate of the villa in the ancient city.

Xiao Chen pushed open the car door, preparing to get out, when Zhuang Yuan seemed to remember something important and quickly took out an exquisitely crafted black flat box from his briefcase: "Mr. Xiao, please wait a moment, this is for you."

Xiao Chen's gaze swept over the box, where a document lay quietly.

The cover is a deep, dark black, made of a special material that feels cool to the touch, exuding a restrained and mysterious aura. Upon opening it, the inner pages are embossed with several powerful, gold-stamped characters that seem to contain a special force: "Martial Arts Army".

This certificate clearly indicates that it belongs to the highest level in the Martial Arts Army, and can even command the Yama Palace and the Dragon Group.

The official seal of the approving authority below represents the highest level of authority in the Dragon Kingdom!

Zhuang Yuan noticed Xiao Chen's confusion and immediately explained, "Mr. Xiao, this document represents the high level of trust the country has in you. In certain situations, it can help you avoid unnecessary cumbersome procedures and provide maximum convenience. Please rest assured that it will not impose any restrictions on you, nor will it require you to assume any additional obligations... This time, we have made an exception, and we hope Mr. Xiao will not refuse."

Although Xiao Chen is the God of War, he cannot reveal his identity.

Now that I have this certificate, things will be much easier, and I can legitimately conceal my identity as the God of War.

Thinking of this, he casually took the box and put it into his storage ring.

For him, these external things were indeed dispensable, but if he could sweep away the noise of some ants, it would save him some trouble.

"gone."

After saying that, Xiao Chen turned around and disappeared into the porch of his villa.

Zhuang Yuan sat in the car, gazing in the direction he had left, not letting the driver start the car for a long time, his eyes filled with a complex contemplation.

This move is undoubtedly a risky one for the central government.

Xiao Chen's strength is indeed unfathomable, but... is it really worth the country paying such a huge price to suppress all dissenting voices?

He remembered that late night, in that heavily guarded courtyard, he finally couldn't help but ask the old man standing in front of the huge map the question that had been on his mind.

The old man didn't turn around; his gaze remained fixed on the winding border line on the map. After a long silence, he spoke in a calm, steady tone, yet with a hint of barely perceptible passion:
"With him in China, all directions can be pacified!"

……

Villa. Xiao Chen had just unlocked the front door with his fingerprint, wondering if Yun Yuyan was alright, when a graceful figure appeared in the entryway upon hearing his voice.

"Yun..." He started to say, but upon seeing who it was, he quickly changed his words, "Ke Ying, you came today?"

Zhou Keying wore an elegant, light-colored long dress, her figure graceful. She looked Xiao Chen up and down, a playful smile playing on her lips: "Things over there are settled. With your performance, my family will most likely not make things difficult for me for the time being. What you should worry about is the Lü family!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen chuckled and spread his hands, saying, "What Lu family or Dong family? In my eyes, they are nothing but a bunch of ignorant mole crickets. They are not worth mentioning. It would be a waste of breath to talk about them."

"Pfft!"

Zhou Keying was amused by his feigned aggrieved expression. She smiled sweetly, like a hundred flowers blooming, her beauty beyond compare. Xiao Chen couldn't help but secretly admire her. This was probably what the ancients meant by "a smile that could topple a city."

"Okay, it's good that you're not afraid. Anyway, I know you're very strong." Zhou Keying suppressed her smile and smoothed the hair on her forehead. "Seriously, where did you go this afternoon? I haven't seen you for ages. Yu Yan has been talking about you for ages."

She seemed to be in a pretty good mood. The turmoil on the family side had temporarily subsided, and although her father had spoken with her at length, he clearly wouldn't force her to return to the main family anytime soon. The only potential problem was the persistent and troublesome Lü family, but she'd heard that the key figures in the Lü family seemed to have important matters to attend to recently, including that annoying young master Lü.

For the time being, we should be able to enjoy a few days of peace and quiet.

Xiao Chen's gaze swept inside. In the open kitchen, Yun Yuyan, wearing an apron, was busy at work, and the rich aroma of food filled the entire living room. Several plates of colorful and fragrant dishes were already laid out on the dining table, all to his liking, making his mouth water.

"I went to a training base and helped someone with a small favor," he explained vaguely.

Zhou Keying nodded, not delving into it further; she was already used to Xiao Chen's mysterious nature.

Soon, Yun Yuyan came out carrying the last dish: "You two, stop standing there like idiots at the door, come and eat." Her cheeks were slightly flushed, and when her eyes met Xiao Chen's, she looked away in a fluster, lowering her head to set out the bowls and chopsticks.

"Coming, coming!" Zhou Keying replied, pulling Xiao Chen's sleeve as they walked towards the restaurant.

The three sat around the table. Xiao Chen looked at the sumptuous dishes before him, and then at the two women beside him, each with a different style but equally stunning beauty, and a rare sense of peace and warmth welled up in his heart.

This kind of life seems... not bad.

It would be even better if Jiang Meng were here too.

At least it can temporarily free him from that state of constant vigilance and tension. The thought of the impending calamity makes even peaceful sleep a luxury; closing his eyes might mean never waking up again.

……

Meanwhile, in the ancient city, on the northern outskirts of an abandoned martial arts exchange center.

Four figures with deep auras stood in the center of the chaotic training ground, solemnly examining the shocking battle marks on the ground, especially the granite arena in the center that was completely shattered, as if it had been broken open from the inside by a tremendous force.

These four men were none other than the patrol envoys sent by the Western Region New Martial Arts Association headquarters—He Yongnian, Chen Yongyan, Yan Song, and Shen Shi!

Any one of the four is at least as strong as, if not stronger than, the vice president Situ Xiong who perished here! Among them, He Yongnian and Chen Yongyan also hold vice president positions within the New Martial Arts Association, holding prestigious statuses!

This shows just how furious and serious Chief Ao Tianchen was about Situ Xiong's death!

"The way this arena was destroyed is very peculiar; it doesn't seem to be caused by pure ancient martial arts energy." He Yongnian squatted down, his fingers tracing a bottomless crack, and said in a deep voice, "The traces indicate that the destruction was an explosive tearing from the inside out. The nature of this force... is very strange." (End of Chapter)
