My Ares Son-in-Law

"The reality of this world may still be too heavy for you."

There was a hint of heaviness in Xiao Chen's words, as if he was telling the woman that this world was far more complicated and cruel than she had imagined.

However, he did not let this heaviness last too long, and instead said in a gentle but firm tone: "Since you don't know how to deal with this situation, let me solve it for you."

After saying this, Xiao Chen moved and appeared in front of the wretched man like a ghost. He grabbed the wretched man, and the movement was so easy that it seemed like he was just picking up a chicken. The wretched man struggled in Xiao Chen's hands, but his strength seemed so insignificant in front of Xiao Chen that he couldn't escape at all.

Xiao Chen did not give the wretched man any chance to breathe. He threw him into the boundless sea like trash. At that moment, the sea breeze howled and the waves surged, as if even nature was cheering for this action.

However, this was just the beginning. Xiao Chen did not stop there, he moved again and came to the position where the wretched man was about to fall into the water.

He slapped out his palm in the air, and the palm wind was fierce and overbearing, carrying a momentum of destroying the world. Under the palm wind, the wretched man instantly turned into a blood mist, and he disappeared completely from this world without even a scream.

This scene happened so suddenly that the woman had no time to react. She stood there blankly, looking at Xiao Chen's cold and resolute figure, with an unprecedented shock and fear in her heart.

She had never seen such a bloody scene, nor had she ever imagined that a person could possess such powerful strength.

However, the fear did not last long. Soon, the woman recovered from the shock. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. When she looked at Xiao Chen again, her eyes had become unusually firm.

She seemed to understand some important truth and found her own direction. At this moment, she seemed to be reborn, becoming braver and stronger.

"Thank you very much for saving my life," the woman walked slowly to Xiao Chen's side. Her eyes were full of gratitude and admiration, as if at this moment, Xiao Chen had become the hero in her heart.

"If you hadn't acted in time, I would not only lose my life today, but also suffer humiliation. I, Jiang Yulan, will never forget this kindness. By the way, may I ask your name, young man?" There was a hint of trembling in her words, which was a complex emotion of gratitude for surviving a calamity and awe of the unknown.

Xiao Chen smiled slightly, that smile was warm and humble, as if it could dispel all the haze in the world. "My last name is Xiao," he answered softly, without any arrogance in his tone, "As for the title of 'young hero', I really don't deserve it. You can call me Mr. Xiao, Brother Xiao, or just call me by my name, there's no need to be so polite."

Hearing this, Jiang Yulan showed an even more sincere smile on her face. She looked carefully at the man in front of her, secretly admiring his elegance and extraordinary demeanor.

Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something, her eyes turned, and she smiled mischievously: "I am just 22 years old this year, Mr. Xiao... Oh no, Mr. Xiao, you look so young, but since you can save me from danger, you must be extraordinary, maybe you are younger than me. How about I call you brother? This will make us seem closer." Xiao Chen heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously, and he smiled bitterly in his heart. Although he looked young, his mental age had long crossed the age of 40. Being called "brother" by a young woman really made him feel a little embarrassed and helpless.

He shook his head gently, with a hint of helplessness and persistence in his eyes: "I appreciate Miss Jiang's kindness, but I'm afraid the title of 'brother' is not appropriate. We can talk about our own affairs and call each other by our names."

Although his refusal was direct, there was no coldness in his tone. Instead, it revealed a gentle and firm strength, which made Jiang Yulan restrain her joking heart and nodded seriously: "Mr. Xiao is right, I was rude. In this case, I will call you Brother Xiao. Brother Xiao, I, Jiang Yulan, will remember your kindness today. If you need me in the future, just ask. I will go through fire and water for you without hesitation!"

After saying that, she once again looked at Xiao Chen with gratitude and admiration. That look not only showed gratitude for saving her life, but also deep respect for Xiao Chen's character and ability.

Jiang Yulan was about to speak, wanting to pour out all the words in her heart as gratitude, but was suddenly interrupted by a low and serious voice.

Tie Meihua, the middle-aged woman who had been standing aside with a stern face, spoke slowly at this moment, with an unquestionable firmness in her tone: "Mr. Xiao, you may not realize that the person you just killed is not an ordinary person. He is one of the notorious "Three Monsters of Taoyuan" in the martial arts world, and he is the weakest of the three.

However, even so, he has a powerful force behind him and two equally fierce brothers. If this matter gets to their ears, it will surely cause a big disturbance, and the Chamber of Commerce I am in may not be able to withstand their anger, so..."

Having said that, Tie Meihua paused slightly, her eyes wandering between Xiao Chen and Jiang Yulan, finally stopping on Xiao Chen. There was both helplessness and expectation in her eyes.

"So, my suggestion is that in order to avoid unnecessary trouble and for the sake of your safety and the safety of Miss Jiang, perhaps you two need to leave this ship temporarily." Although her tone was calm, every word was like a heavy hammer, striking the hearts of everyone present.

When Xiao Chen heard this, a sharp cold light flashed in his eyes. He looked at Tie Meihua coldly. His eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts and look directly into their deepest calculations and considerations.

"So, you're going to let me get off the boat?" His voice was deep and powerful, and every word revealed an unquestionable firmness and questioning. There seemed to be an invisible force surging in him, which was a desire for freedom and a challenge to the injustice in the world.

Tie Meihua was frightened by the look and took a step back, but then she calmed herself down and continued to insist: "Yes, Mr. Xiao, including you and her." She stretched out her finger and gently pointed in the direction of Jiang Yulan, as if to remind Xiao Chen that this decision also concerned the safety of this innocent woman.

"That's too much!" Jiang Yulan's voice trembled with anger. She clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, but she didn't feel the pain at all. Her eyes flashed with disbelief and indignation, as if at this moment, all her innocence and kindness had encountered an unprecedented challenge. (End of this chapter)
