My Ares Son-in-Law

As he spoke, Jiang Qingtao bowed slightly to Xiao Chen, then turned and left the tent, leaving the two of them in a relatively private space.

Jiang Qingtao had actually been secretly thinking about something more far-reaching. He knew very well how extraordinary Xiao Chen was. If his daughter could be with him, it would undoubtedly be an unprecedented opportunity for the Jiang family. He believed that with the help of Xiao Chen, the Jiang family would be able to get rid of the current predicament and usher in a more glorious future.

Money, the hard currency of this world, is so difficult to obtain that it often makes people sigh at the hardships of life. However, compared to the elusiveness of money, the value of real talents, especially miracle doctors like Xiao Chen, is even more inestimable.

For someone like Xiao Chen, making money may be just a piece of cake. His medical skills and wisdom are enough to allow him to easily gain a foothold anywhere and even become a leader.

Such talents are truly precious.

At this moment, the tent was quiet and warm, with only Jiang Yulan and Xiao Chen sitting opposite each other. Jiang Yulan's eyes were full of curiosity and expectation. She wanted to speak several times, but seemed to be restrained by some invisible force. The words lingered on her lips, but she could not blurt them out.

She was afraid that her questions were too abrupt, afraid that they would touch upon areas that Xiao Chen was unwilling to mention, and even more afraid that they would destroy this rare harmony and closeness.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen raised his lips to a gentle smile. That smile was like the warm sunshine in spring, instantly melting away Jiang Yulan's worries and anxieties.

"We are friends who have been through thick and thin together. If you have any questions, just ask. I'm free now and would be happy to answer your questions." His voice was soft and firm, making people feel at ease and trusted.

Jiang Yulan felt a warm current in her heart when she heard this. She mustered up her courage and finally asked, "Mr. Xiao, I have always had a question. Is there really a magical medicine in this world that can prolong life? Do those legendary elixirs really exist?"

Her eyes sparkled with curiosity and yearning for the unknown world, as if she couldn't wait to unveil the mysterious veil.

Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, and then he nodded gently and said, "Yes, there are indeed such elixirs. However, they are not easily available and are often hidden in the most secret and dangerous places in the world.

As far as I know, such miracles are hidden in the vast ancient sea. Those precious elixirs can give people extra vitality, allowing them to walk a little further in the long river of time, and increase their lifespan by five or even ten years. But such opportunities are rare, and it takes great luck and courage to encounter and obtain them. "

Xiao Chen's words were full of awe and yearning for the unknown world. His eyes seemed to penetrate the walls of the tent and see the distant and mysterious ancient sea. Jiang Yulan was deeply attracted by his words, and her heart was full of longing and expectation for the future.

"Ancient Sea... Is there really such a place as Ancient Sea in this world?" Jiang Yulan's eyes flashed with a gloom that was hard to conceal. She had been practicing for a long time, and the years did not seem to have left too many traces on her face, but the desire and doubt for the unknown world were deeply imprinted in her eyes.

Although she often heard various legends about the ancient sea, which is said to contain countless rare treasures and mysterious powers, she has never been able to see its true appearance after years of searching. "Of course there is!" Xiao Chen's voice was firm and warm. He nodded gently, his eyes flashing with understanding and support for Jiang Yulan. He knew very well that for this woman who cared about her family, any clue that could prolong the life of her relatives would be a temptation she could not resist.

"However, this elixir that prolongs life is not unique to the Ancient Sea. The island we are on is vast and full of natural power. Perhaps it hides the miracle you are looking for."

"Really?!" Jiang Yulan's eyes suddenly lit up brightly when she heard that. There was both surprise and disbelief in that light, as if it was the brightest star in the night sky, instantly illuminating her entire world.

Her hands clenched unconsciously, the excitement and anticipation almost overflowing from her chest, all the fatigue and disappointment disappeared at this moment.

Xiao Chen looked at Jiang Yulan's face, which was glowing with hope, and a warm current surged in his heart. He knew that this woman, despite being in danger, always cared about the well-being of her family. He deeply admired her selflessness and tenacity.

"Of course it's true. I, Xiao Chen, never lie, and I will never deceive someone as kind and righteous as you." His words were full of sincerity and promise. "If you really want to find the legendary elixir, I, Xiao Chen, am willing to lend you a hand, but remember, don't act on your own like you did last time. Otherwise, you should know the consequences."

"I understand... By the way, Mr. Xiao, there is an extremely famous restaurant on this artificial island. It is hidden in a green garden with an elegant environment and a warm atmosphere. It is a rare food paradise on the island.

There is an original specialty dish called 'Nine-Color Drunken Fish'. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that it uses nine colorful sea fish unique to the island and is carefully cooked with secret sauces. Every bite is the ultimate tease to the taste buds and is most memorable.

I sincerely invite you to taste it together. You have come from afar, so you probably haven't had the chance to enjoy the special food here yet, right? Please allow me to turn this small token of gratitude into an unforgettable dinner." Jiang Yulan smiled, her tone full of sincerity and expectation.

"Okay!" Xiao Chen agreed happily, with a hint of interest in his eyes. Although he had long transcended the mundane world and reached the state of fasting, and no longer needed to rely on food to sustain life, his love for food had not diminished at all.

For him, tasting delicious food is no longer about satisfying basic survival needs, but a pure spiritual enjoyment, a pursuit and taste of the beauty of life.

At this moment, Xiao Chen felt a faint joy in his heart. He imagined the colorful and fragrant appearance of the Nine-Colored Drunken Fish before his eyes, and he couldn't help but look forward to the upcoming dinner.

He realized that although he had transcended the constraints of the world, his deep yearning and appreciation for beautiful things were no different from that of ordinary people. This love for food allowed him to feel the warmth and color of life while being detached.

So, the two of them walked hand in hand, through the path in the garden, and slowly walked towards the famous restaurant. The scenery along the way was picturesque, and the breeze blew on the face, bringing the salty fragrance of the sea water and the fragrance of flowers and plants, making people feel relaxed and happy.
