My Ares Son-in-Law

"No one in this land can touch a hair of mine!"

The wretched man's words were extremely arrogant, and every word was like a sharp blade, deeply hurting the young man in white's heart.

"You!" The young man in white was so angry at these words that he trembled all over. He widened his eyes in disbelief, as if he wanted to see through the ugly soul of this wretched man. However, the surrounding warriors made him even more desperate.

They watched all this with either pity or indifference, but no one was willing to lend a helping hand. An unprecedented coldness and despair surged in the heart of the young man in white, and he felt as if he had been abandoned by the whole world.

At this moment, a calm and indifferent voice suddenly sounded, breaking the silence.

"Tie Meihua, this girl offended that wretched man just to save you. Are you just going to stand by and watch?" Xiao Chen's words were emotionless, but they flowed into the heart of the young man in white like a spring. He turned around and saw Xiao Chen looking at Tie Meihua deeply, with a look that seemed to contain some expectation.

"I didn't ask her to do it." Tie Meihua's words were cold as ice, and her face was covered with a faint chill, as if even the air around her was frozen.

Her gaze turned to the woman in white, and her deep eyes revealed a complex emotion, including helplessness towards the coldness of the world and a hint of reproach for the woman's behavior.

"Little girl, when you go out, remember that people's hearts are hidden in your stomach. Don't get involved in other people's disputes easily. Everything you have experienced today is because of your meddling in other people's affairs. You will have to taste the bitter fruit yourself in the end."

The woman in white heard this and her face turned pale as paper, with despair flashing in her eyes. She had originally held out a glimmer of hope, thinking that at least Tie Meihua would stand by her side, even if it was just to say something fair.

However, reality was like a cold blade, piercing her heart. She trembled, tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall. She looked at the indifferent bystanders around her, and then looked at the indifferent face of Tie Meihua, and the last trace of warmth in her heart was completely extinguished.

"A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated!" The woman in white suddenly burst into a cry of grief and anger, her voice full of determination and indomitable spirit.

She suddenly pulled out a pill from her bosom. The pill was pitch black and exuded a faint bitter smell. She threw it into her mouth without hesitation, closed her eyes tightly, and waited for death to come. At that moment, there was no fear in her heart, only resentment and anger towards this world.

Seeing this, the wretched man was stunned. He originally thought that he could easily play with this little girl, but he didn't expect that she would be so determined and choose to commit suicide by taking poison. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he returned to his usual cunning and wretchedness.

The people around were also shocked by this scene. They all cast complicated glances at her, some with sympathy, some with indifference, and some with gloating. However, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they could not change the fate that the woman in white was about to face.

At this moment, the wretched man raised a cruel smile, and his voice was filled with chilling coldness: "Humph, even if you choose to commit suicide by taking poison, so what? Do you think you can escape my clutches like this? I have my own way. When the time comes, I will hang your body high up in a conspicuous place on the Death Island Reef, so that everyone who passes by can appreciate this body that died because of meddling in other people's business, and it will become their topic of conversation after dinner."

Upon hearing this, the woman's face turned even paler, and despair and fear surged in her eyes like a tide. Her whole body was shaking, and tears rolled down her cheeks like pearls from a broken string. Helplessness and grief were written all over her tearful face.

"You... you are worse than a maggot! You can't rest in peace even after death, why do you treat me like this?" Her voice was choked with sobs, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of her throat, filled with endless pain and anger. At this moment, a warm and firm voice sounded as gentle as a spring breeze, instantly dispelling the coldness and despair around. "Don't worry, I'm here, this maggot can't hurt you at all." This voice was full of confidence and strength, which made people feel comforted and hopeful.

The woman turned her head upon hearing the voice, and saw a tall and handsome young man.

He was dressed in a simple cloth with no fancy decorations, but he had an indescribable mysterious temperament, as if he was a gentleman from an ancient painting, or a hidden master in the world. His eyes were deep and bright, as if he could see into people's hearts and give them the most solid support.

This person was Xiao Chen. His appearance was like a ray of light that penetrated the darkness and illuminated the despair in the woman's heart. The woman looked at him with a flash of disbelief and gratitude in her eyes, as if she had seen the savior of her life. All her fear and helplessness turned into tears at this moment, sliding down silently.

Xiao Chen walked slowly to the woman's side. His movements were gentle yet firm, as if every step was stepping on the ripples in the woman's heart.

He gently stretched out his hand, his palm was warm and strong, and he just gently patted the woman's back. The poison pill that had already dissolved in her throat was miraculously spit out by her, falling on the deck with a slight sound.

"You are such a kind girl, how can you let such filthy things taint your purity?" Xiao Chen's words were gentle and powerful. His eyes revealed his deep care and respect for the woman, as if at this moment, all the beauty in the world was concentrated in his gaze.

The woman was stunned. She stared at Xiao Chen blankly, with disbelief flashing in her eyes.

She originally thought that she was just a lone figure that was about to disappear in this vast sea of ​​people, but she never expected that in the most desperate and helpless moment, there would be such a young man who would stand up and dispel the haze for her and bring her hope.

Complex emotions surged in her heart, gratitude, surprise, and even a hint of indescribable throbbing.

"Thank you..." The woman finally spoke, her voice was soft but full of sincerity and gratitude. She knew that no matter what Xiao Chen's purpose was, this life-saving grace was enough for her to remember for the rest of her life.

However, at this moment, the angry roar of the wretched man broke the tranquility and warmth. "Boy, how dare you meddle in other people's business!" His face was gloomy, and his eyes shot at Xiao Chen like knives, as if he wanted to eat him alive.

A faint smile appeared on Xiao Chen's lips, which contained both contempt for the wretched man and confidence in his own abilities.

"Noisy."

Xiao Chen waved his right hand lightly, and a slap was launched through the air like thunder, with irresistible force. (End of this chapter)
