My Ares Son-in-Law

Xiao Chen looked at Qin Xianglan and smiled disdainfully: "I actually hope he comes looking for trouble. I'm just afraid he won't come. If he doesn't come, I won't have a reason to take action. After all, when I want to deal with someone, I need to have a legitimate reason, unlike some people who bite like mad dogs."

Hearing this, Qin Xianglan smiled.

As expected of Mr. Xiao, she suddenly realized that the person she should be wary of was not Xiao Chen, but Huang Qiankun, who had slunk away.

"Alright, Miss Qin, the auction is over, so I'll head back now. Please deliver the items to the villa for me!"

Xiao Chen smiled and said.

"No problem, you and Miss Yun go first, I'll send someone to deliver the things right away!" Qin Xianglan nodded hurriedly.

"Thank you for your trouble!" Xiao Chen waved his hand and left Wanbaoge with Yun Yuyan.

The blood coral was packed into a special moisture-proof and damage-proof wooden box by the Wanbaoge people. Several security guards carefully lifted the wooden box onto the car arranged by Qin Xianglan and escorted it all the way to Xiao Chen's villa.

There were no problems on the way, after all, the escort team from Wanbaoge was no joke, they were quite formidable.

After Qin Xianglan and the others left, Xiao Chen carried the box back to his cultivation room. Yun Yuyan watched from the side, hesitant to speak.

"Yu Yan, speak your mind. Don't keep it bottled up inside, or you'll catch a disease."

Yun Yuyan then said, "Actually, I've never quite understood why you spent 100 million to buy this thing. You even offended Master Huang because of it. It's not worth it."

Xiao Chen smiled and said, "You don't know this, but blood coral is a great material for crafting magical artifacts. You wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you. Anyway, we didn't lose out. Okay, you can go out now. I need to be alone for a while."

Yun Yuyan knew Xiao Chen's temperament; there was no point in asking him if he didn't want to talk about it. She nodded, didn't ask any more questions, gently closed the door to Xiao Chen's room, and turned to leave.

Xiao Chen was the only one left in the room.

He opened the wooden box, and the moment it opened, a faint, warm scent wafted out.

Xiao Chen reached out and took out the entire piece of blood coral to feel the spiritual energy inside; it was even more concentrated than he had expected.

Xiao Chen gently pried off a small piece of coral with his hand, without any effort.

The reason for breaking this thing off was that I planned to use this small piece of blood coral to make a talisman for Chen Jianguo. A talisman made from such a treasure would definitely be more effective.

He pressed his finger on that small piece of coral and slowly poured his immortal power into it. As soon as the immortal power came into contact with the spiritual energy in the coral, the two began to merge rapidly.

Finally, the entire coral became translucent, like a piece of blood-red crystal.

Xiao Chen then processed the almost translucent blood coral, and soon he had a palm-sized jade pendant in his hand.

The jade plaque was entirely blood red, and he had carved some special patterns on it for the purpose of warding off evil spirits.

This is a talisman for warding off evil.

Xiao Chen looked down at the talisman in his hand and nodded in satisfaction. He could clearly feel that the power contained within the talisman was enough to help the Chen family withstand the imminent calamity.

He placed the talisman and the black card together, and then put them into an envelope.

Honestly, he didn't care about the money Chen Jianguo gave him. He would use it to buy blood coral, and then return any unused portion.

The envelope contained Chen Jianguo's home address.

Then, Xiao Chen took out his phone, opened the same-city delivery app, and placed an order with the delivery request being "delivered within today".

...On the other side, after leaving the auction, Chen Shaocong walked silently down the street, his steps heavy, his mood extremely bad.

Today at the auction, he lost face in front of everyone. Now, just thinking about going back to face his father, Chen Jianguo, makes his scalp tingle. He has no idea how to explain himself.

He kept his head down, focused only on walking forward, and didn't pay any attention to the road ahead.

Suddenly, with a muffled thud, he bumped into someone.

He was knocked back half a step, his shoulder throbbing with pain. His temper flared up instantly, and he blurted out, "Who the hell is that bastard? Can't you watch where you're going?!"

When he looked up and saw the person he had hit, he suddenly froze.

"Master Huang! It's you! I'm so sorry, I was just thinking about something. I'm really sorry!"

Chen Shaocong wouldn't be afraid of anyone else, but this was Huang Qiankun, a terrifying being rumored to be able to kill others with magic. He dared not offend him.

Moreover, Huang Qiankun was clearly in a bad mood at this moment, his face filled with cold killing intent. Offending Huang Qiankun now would be tantamount to courting death.

Huang Qiankun also recognized Chen Shaocong.

"Oh, who do we have here? It's just the Chen family's kid. You don't seem to be in a good mood, do you?"

"Yes...yes, Master." Chen Shaocong nodded immediately in fright. "My name is Chen Shaocong, and my father is Chen Jianguo. I even spoke up for you at the auction, but it was no use. Those guys didn't listen to me at all. And that Xiao Chen, relying on the money my father gave him, is extremely arrogant. I really want to kill him!"

Upon hearing Chen Shaocong's words, Huang Qiankun's eyes darted around.

He quickly calculated in his mind that the Chen family was a prominent and wealthy family in the provincial capital. Moreover, Chen Shaocong had clearly made it clear that he had a grudge against Xiao Chen.

Isn't this a perfect opportunity to take advantage of?
Anyway, Chen Shaocong looks like a complete idiot. I can easily fool him and get him under control without spending any effort.

Thinking of this, Huang Qiankun's attitude instantly became polite, and he smiled and said, "Oh, it's Young Master Chen. Are you going home?"

Chen Shaocong nodded quickly: "Yes, let's go home!"

At this moment, he was incredibly excited. Master Huang, who had just been ignoring him, was now being so polite to him. How strange! But this feeling was really great.

With his limited intelligence, he naturally couldn't have guessed that Master Huang had ulterior motives.

Huang Qiankun smiled and said, "Perfect timing. I've heard that your Chen family has been going through a lot of bad things lately. Seeing how hard you worked to help me at the auction, I feel bad not helping your Chen family. How about you take me to see what's going on?"

Chen Shaocong was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.

This is Master Huang! He's way better than that damn Xiao Chen. If I just take Master Huang home for a visit, the Chen family's problems will be solved.

As for his sneaking out, his father, Chen Jianguo, certainly wouldn't hold it against him.

"Yes, yes, of course! It would be an honor for the Chen family to have you visit us. I'll take you there right away!" Chen Shaocong was extremely excited and quickly led the way.

At this moment, Chen Jianguo sat there in a daze, completely unaware that the tea on the table had gone cold.

Because he's anxious!

Recently, the Chen family's business has been declining, and bad things have been happening constantly at home, leaving him extremely stressed.

He was completely helpless. (End of Chapter)
