My Ares Son-in-Law

After the poisonous blood was expelled, Xiao Chen casually waved his hand, and more than ten silver needles in the wooden box seemed to be pulled by invisible threads, rising into the air together with a slight whistling sound. They then precisely pierced more than ten key acupoints on Su Yu's back, arms, and shoulders!
As the silver needle entered her body, its tip vibrated slightly at a high frequency, emitting an almost inaudible buzzing sound. Su Yu felt as if countless tiny warm currents were flowing into her body through the silver needle, coursing along her meridians. Wherever they passed, the icy and stinging sensation was greatly relieved, replaced by a peculiar feeling of tingling, numbness, soreness, and itchiness, which made her weak body involuntarily relax.

Xiao Chen then took the herbs, released his inner energy from his palm, and the leaves instantly turned into powder. He then kneaded them with exquisite skill, squeezing out a few drops of bright green, fragrant juice, which he accurately dripped onto the wound on Su Yu's back.

The herbal juices brought a cool sensation upon contact with the skin, followed by a burning sting, and finally transformed into a warm feeling.

"Hmm~"

A sensation she had never experienced before, a mixture of pain and strange comfort, surged through Su Yu's body like an electric current, causing her to involuntarily let out a very soft moan from deep within her throat. The moment the sound left her lips, she suddenly opened her eyes wide, overwhelmed with shame, and hurriedly covered her mouth with her still-functioning hand, her ears turning a deep, almost bloody red.

Xiao Chen paused almost imperceptibly, his face remaining expressionless, but inwardly he sighed. He took out a pill the size of a longan, with a warm luster and subtle cloud-like patterns, and casually tossed it to Su Yu.

"Take the medicine and circulate your internal energy to neutralize its effects. Rest here quietly for the night, and leave on your own tomorrow morning. Then we will be even."

After saying that, he didn't look at the beautiful woman on the sofa again, turned around and went straight upstairs, his back view revealing a deliberate sense of aloofness.

As a man, it would be a lie to say he felt nothing in the face of such a vibrant and alluring scene, readily available for him to take. Especially since Su Yu was not only stunningly beautiful but also possessed a shapely figure; those few unconscious moans she had just uttered were enough to stir the heartstrings of any normal man. Xiao Chen could feel a subtle change in a certain part of his body; if he stayed any longer, the situation might become somewhat awkward.

In the living room, only Su Yu remained. She stared blankly at the pill in her hand. It felt warm to the touch, its fragrance subtle yet rich. The naturally formed patterns on its surface were mysterious and complex, faintly emanating spiritual energy. By sheer perception, she knew this pill's quality far surpassed the antidote pill from her sect, which she considered her life-saving trump card! Even… this pill seemed to have been recently refined, its medicinal activity at its peak!
Who is this man?
Its unfathomable strength is so terrifying that even the Heavenly River Realm experts of the Lan family have to give way to it.
Amazing medical skills that can bring the dead back to life;

And then there are these fresh, high-quality pills that you can just casually take out...

When did such a powerful and ruthless figure emerge in the provincial capital? My supposedly all-pervasive intelligence network knew nothing about him!
A huge wave of emotions surged within Su Yu, and she was unable to calm down for a long time.

……

The next day, the dawn broke.

Xiao Chen slowly opened his eyes after a night of deep meditation. A golden glint seemed to flash in his eyes before returning to their deep depths. He came downstairs to find the living room empty. The sofa had been carefully arranged, the blood-stained blanket was gone, and a plain white notepad lay on the coffee table.

Picking up the notepad, I saw only one line of small, delicate handwriting, bold and clear:
"I owe you my life, Su Yu will remember it and repay it."

There was no signature, no unnecessary words.

Xiao Chen casually placed the note aside, not paying it any mind.

Just then, his phone, which was lying to the side, vibrated, and the screen lit up, displaying a name: Zhou Keying.

Xiao Chen put away the broken sword from Jingzhe and pressed the answer button.

"Ke Ying? I couldn't reach you yesterday. I'm already in the provincial capital. As the host, shouldn't you show some appreciation?" Xiao Chen's tone was relaxed, with a hint of teasing.

However, the response from the other end of the phone wasn't the cheerful or coquettish one she'd expected. Zhou Keying's voice was extremely low, trembling uncontrollably, and filled with... a deep fear. "Xiao...Xiao Chen? You...how did you come to the provincial capital?! You shouldn't have come! Listen to me, for the next few days, no matter what, don't go out! Please don't! Promise me, okay?"

Xiao Chen's brows furrowed suddenly, the ease in his eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a cold, sharp look: "Someone is threatening you? What happened to the Zhou family?"

"No...nothing! Nothing's wrong! Please don't come...beep beep beep..."

Before Zhou Keying could finish her hurried denial, the communication was abruptly cut off, leaving only a busy tone.

Xiao Chen slowly put down his phone, his face ashen. He looked out the window at the gradually brightening sky, his gaze seemingly piercing through the buildings and landing in a specific direction in the provincial capital.

Without a moment's hesitation, he picked up his coat and walked towards the door.

Xiao Chen casually picked up his coat from the back of the chair and was about to get up to go to the Zhou family's house when there was another rhythmic knocking at the door.

Did Su Yu return after leaving?
This was the first thought that flashed through his mind.

Upon opening the door, Xiao Chen was not met by the slender figure, but by a man with a towering, imposing build, wearing a dark baseball cap. The brim of the cap was pulled low, obscuring most of his face, but Xiao Chen instantly recognized the man from his calm and composed demeanor.

"Alliance leader."

The man nodded slightly, his voice low and respectful.

It was none other than Di Tianyan, the commander of the War God Alliance in the Western Region!

He was also his former student and disciple.

Xiao Chen stepped aside to let him into the house, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "How did you find this place?" He remembered that he had not told Di Tianyan his exact location in the provincial capital.

Di Tianyan took off his hat, revealing a sharp and resolute face, but his attitude remained respectful: "I knew yesterday that the Alliance Leader had arrived in the provincial capital, and I should have come to pay my respects immediately, but I was tied up with some urgent matters and was delayed until now. Please forgive me, Alliance Leader."

“I’m not upset that you’re late.” Xiao Chen gestured for him to sit down and asked directly, “I’m asking why you came in person today? Has something happened? You are a pawn I’ve planted in the shadows. Unless absolutely necessary, we should reduce our direct meetings. For ordinary matters, we can communicate through encrypted channels.”

Di Tianyan nodded to indicate that he understood, and then explained, "I understand the Alliance Leader's considerations. But the provincial capital is, after all, the place where I have built my foundation over many years. Since the Alliance Leader is here in person, it is only right and proper for me to do my duty as a host."

He paused, then spoke with a hint of earnestness: "The brothers of the War God Alliance, upon hearing of the Alliance Leader's arrival, are all eager to see your esteemed face to put our minds at ease. We earnestly request that the Alliance Leader visit the War God Alliance so that the brothers may have the honor of paying their respects."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen's eyes flickered slightly.

Although he rarely contacted the War God Alliance after going to the Ancient Sea, it was, after all, an organization he had created himself, filled entirely with martial artists. His initial goal was to better control these martial artists and prevent them from causing trouble outside. (End of Chapter)
