My Ares Son-in-Law

Seeing that his movements were swift and skillful, and his expression was open and honest, without the slightest hint of lewdness, Jiang Xuanxuan realized that she had completely misunderstood him and felt a pang of guilt.

However, she had been taught from a young age to distinguish between men and women and to observe proper etiquette, but now, her thighs were almost completely exposed.

She was even held and had her wound treated by a strange man, which made her blush with embarrassment. She wished she could disappear into the ground and never look up again.

Jiang Xuanxuan lowered her head, her ears were bright red, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, full of apology: "Thank you... and... I misunderstood you just now, I'm sorry."

……

Jiang Xuanxuan instinctively shrank back, the intense pain from her wound causing her to tremble slightly.

"Don't move."

Xiao Chen's voice was low and calm, devoid of any extraneous emotion; one could not discern whether he was happy or angry.

He slowly squatted down, his gaze sweeping precisely over the wound on Jiang Xuanxuan's leg. His brows furrowed slightly, and he immediately discerned the severity of the injury.

"The blade pierced through your quadriceps and damaged a branch of the femoral artery. If the bleeding doesn't stop, you won't last long; you'll die." Xiao Chen stated the terrifying truth in a very calm tone.

Jiang Xuanxuan was completely stunned: "I...I'm not really dead, am I? Are you a doctor?"

Xiao Chen ignored her.

He should have been home by now, resting in his room, but instead he's here treating Jiang Xuanxuan's injuries. He doesn't owe this woman anything.

Although he was unhappy, it wasn't in his nature to stand by and watch someone die, so he continued what he was doing.

His fingers were already firmly pressed on the Xuehai acupoint, three inches above Jiang Xuanxuan's left knee.

With a slight exertion of his fingertips, a strange, warm energy slowly seeped in from the point of contact, spreading along the meridians of Jiang Xuanxuan's legs.

Jiang Xuanxuan felt a gentle warmth suddenly burst forth from her acupoints, suppressing her injuries.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Chen's fingers swiftly and accurately struck the Liangqiu, Yinshi, and Futu acupoints in succession.

Every press was precise, with just the right amount of force.

Jiang Xuanxuan's face was filled with disbelief. The blood flow from the wound was decreasing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!
In the end, it actually stopped.

Jiang Xuanxuan was completely dumbfounded. What was going on? Was she dreaming?
Stopping bleeding with acupressure? Isn't that something that only exists in martial arts novels? How could anyone possibly do that in real life!

Xiao Chen had already withdrawn his hand, stood up, and said calmly, "It's just a temporary blockage of the flow of qi and blood to stabilize the injuries. The ambulance will arrive in five minutes."

However, to be on the safe side and prevent Jiang Xuanxuan's wound from worsening and leaving any sequelae, he still quietly injected a trace of pure immortal power into Jiang Xuanxuan's wound to nourish it and help her recover quickly.

Regardless, this is Zhou Keying's best friend, so we need to be careful.

Jiang Xuanxuan stared blankly at the masked man in front of her, feeling a mixture of gratitude and curiosity.

She desperately wanted to know who the person who saved her was; if it weren't for this man, she would definitely have been violated by those thugs today.

Her life might have ended just like that. Unfortunately, the man was very well disguised, wearing not only a mask but also sunglasses, clearly not wanting to reveal his identity so late at night.

Jiang Xuanxuan felt that either she knew this man, which was why he acted this way.

Either the man is some kind of celebrity, or... her woman's intuition told her that the first possibility was more likely.

"Who exactly are you?" she couldn't help but ask.

"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. Why so much nonsense? If it weren't for saving you today, I wouldn't still be here. We're both injured, can you be quiet?" Xiao Chen said, somewhat speechless, in a distorted voice.

Jiang Xuanxuan sighed and stopped pressing the matter: "Fine, if you don't want to talk about it, then so be it. Anyway, you saved my life, and I must repay this great kindness. I don't have anything to thank you with, so how about I give you a million as a reward?"

"Forget about the money. Consider it good luck that you met someone who doesn't like money." Xiao Chen certainly didn't dislike money, but he had too much money and didn't know what to do with it. What he needed now was something useful for cultivation.

Just as he was about to refuse the woman, he suddenly noticed the white jade pendant around Jiang Xuanxuan's neck. "Your pendant is nice, it's quite pretty. If you really want to thank me, just give it to me. I like collecting all kinds of jade."

The pendant was small, only the size of a thumbnail. The jade looked ordinary, and the carving was rough and simple. It looked like a cheap item that could be bought for a few dozen yuan at a street stall.

Jiang Xuanxuan has worn it since she was a child, for many years, and has never felt that there was anything special about the pendant, treating it as just an ordinary personal item.

Since her benefactor wanted it, she didn't refuse. After all, it was just a free trinket to her, and she would give it to him if he wanted it.

"You want this?" She reached out and decisively took off the pendant, handing it over. "It's just a very cheap, ordinary pendant. Take it if you want, don't be shy. But I do feel a little bad. You saved my life, and to give you this worthless thing makes it seem like I'm some kind of swindler."

"Don't worry, I'm very satisfied!"

Xiao Chen was naturally satisfied, because when he reached out and took the pendant, the moment his fingertips touched the jade, he discovered that this seemingly ordinary white jade pendant contained a hidden spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy contained in this is similar to that contained in the jade pendant that Chen Jianguo had given him before; both contain a lot of it.

"The ambulance will be here in five minutes."

Xiao Chen thought for a moment, then took off his own clothes and covered Jiang Xuanxuan with them. "The people chasing you have been completely dealt with. You're safe now. I have to go now; I have things to do at home and can't stay with you forever!"

Jiang Xuanxuan subconsciously wrapped the coat tighter around her. His body heat still lingered on the coat, making her heart beat faster for no reason, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

Jiang Xuanxuan grabbed Xiao Chen's trouser leg in fear: "Can we wait another five minutes? I'm scared!" She was genuinely scared, mainly because she was afraid that if Xiao Chen left, those thugs would come back.

The saying goes, "Once bitten by a snake, twice shy." Although Jiang Xuanxuan has a strong personality, she is still a woman, so it's normal for her to be timid.

Xiao Chen sighed, looking at Jiang Xuanxuan's pitiful appearance: "Alright, five minutes it is!"

So he leaned against the wall and started smoking.

Jiang Xuanxuan usually dislikes other people smoking, but she didn't feel that way at all right now. It seems that it really depends on who's smoking. If someone she likes is smoking, it doesn't seem so bad anymore.

After a while, Xiao Chen heard the ambulance siren. He stubbed out his cigarette and said, "Let's go. The ambulance will take you directly to the hospital. Keep it a secret that I treated your wound beforehand!" (End of Chapter)
