My Ares Son-in-Law

Xiao Chen thought to himself that Zhao Liang was a man of character. He was so frank with him when they first met and was willing to lend a helping hand without hesitation. Such enthusiasm and generosity were rare in today's complex and ever-changing world.

He looked at Zhao Liang carefully, and saw that his eyes were clear and his smile revealed an undisguised sincerity and frankness that made people feel close to him involuntarily.

Xiao Chen still had a calm smile on his face when he heard this, as if nothing in the world could shake his inner peace. He shook his head gently and declined Zhao Liang's enthusiastic proposal: "Thank you for your kindness, Brother Zhao, but you really don't need to bother me."

There was a barely perceptible gleam in his eyes, which was a confident review of his glorious past achievements and a profound understanding of his current strength.

How could he, a mighty war god, be afraid of the mere Amei Group? Back then, before he reached his peak, he dared to step into America alone, stirring up the storm with his own strength, and was invincible. Who could stop him?

Now, he is more mature and stronger than before, and has long been invincible in the secular world. This threat is just a trivial matter to him, so how could he take it to heart?
Of course, he would not say these words out loud, and no one would believe him even if he did, after all, they are a bit too exaggerated.

Xiao Chen's eyes were gentle and deep, as if he could see into people's hearts. He slowly turned to Zhao Liang, his tone filled with concern and insight.

"Young man, from what I see in your complexion, it seems that the energy in your body is not flowing smoothly. When you are practicing, do you often feel pain all over your body like needles, and once you stop practicing, your hands and feet will feel numb from time to time?" Xiao Chen's words revealed his deep understanding and sympathy for martial arts, which made people feel a warm power.

When Zhao Liang heard this, he was stunned at first, then his eyes suddenly widened, his eyes full of surprise and confusion.

"How...how do you know?" His words trembled, and he was obviously shocked by Xiao Chen's accurate judgment. He thought that no one knew the secret problem in his cultivation, but he didn't expect that this friend who just met him would reveal it.

"You!" Zhao Liang's voice unconsciously rose a few degrees, his tone showing both shock and vigilance, "You investigated me? Who are you? Why do you know so much about my situation?" His face instantly turned gloomy and his brows were furrowed. He was obviously extremely uneasy about Xiao Chen's sudden question.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen quickly waved his hands and explained, "Brother, you misunderstood. I have no ill intentions, and I have never investigated you. It's just that I have studied medicine and martial arts since I was young, and I have a good understanding of the operation of human qi and meridians. Just now, I saw that you seemed to have hidden worries in your expression, so I dared to give it a try, and I didn't expect that I would actually discover something."

"Boy, show some respect!" Jiang Yulan's voice was filled with anxiety and dissatisfaction. She put her hands on her hips, pouted her lips slightly, and her big eyes flashed with an unquestionable light. "This man is not an ordinary person. He is a real miracle doctor! My grandfather was seriously ill that time, and even Xiao Xianren, the miracle doctor on Penglai Island, was helpless. But he pulled my grandfather back from the brink of death."

At this point, Jiang Yulan's eyes could not help but flash with admiration and gratitude, as if the past events were still vivid in her mind, warming her heart. Her words were full of affirmation and admiration for Xiao Chen's medical skills, which made people involuntarily pay more attention to him and be more curious about him.

When Zhao Liang heard this, he felt as if he was struck by lightning, and his astonishment was beyond words.

"What...what!" His voice trembled slightly, repeating these two words in disbelief. Although Zhao Liang had never heard of Xiao Chen's name, he knew Xiao Xianren's reputation well, and his medical skills were unmatched. Now, someone could turn the tide on a problem that Xiao Xianren could not solve. The strength and talent of this young man were beyond his imagination. Thinking of his suspicion and distrust of Xiao Chen just now, Zhao Liang could not help but feel ashamed and embarrassed. He hurriedly adjusted his mood, took a deep breath, and then bowed respectfully to Xiao Chen to show his apology and respect.

"I'm sorry, brother. I was blind and too impulsive. I shouldn't have doubted your ability, let alone spoken rudely to you. Excuse me, brother, do you know what's wrong with my body?"

Zhao Liang's tone was full of sincerity and expectation, and his eyes were shining with hope, as if Xiao Chen was his last straw.

For a warrior, being unable to use his internal energy is almost equivalent to losing the meaning and value of life. He desperately hopes to find a solution and regain his own strength and dignity.

A gentle smile appeared on Xiao Chen's lips, and that smile seemed to contain endless confidence and composure.

"Actually, your problem is not that big of a problem." His words were light-hearted and kind, which made Zhao Liang's tense nerves relax a little.

"I guess the reason you are in this situation is probably because you have been consuming toxins in food or medicine for a long time. These toxins accumulate in your body and gradually show symptoms. However, you can rest assured that these are just trivial matters to me. I will naturally find a way to help you solve them."

As he spoke, Xiao Chen waved his right hand gently, and delicate and brilliant immortal powers flowed out from his palm, quickly condensing into several slender and sharp silver needles. Wrapped in immortal power, these silver needles emitted a faint fluorescence, as if they contained endless vitality.

Xiao Chen's eyes were focused and deep. He accurately inserted the silver needles into the specific acupuncture points of Zhao Liang's body one by one. Every movement seemed so natural and smooth, as if he had practiced it thousands of times.

Zhao Liang stood there, motionless, allowing Xiao Chen's silver needle to pierce his body. His eyes were full of trust and gratitude, as if at this moment, he had placed all his hopes on Xiao Chen.

He could feel Xiao Chen's superb medical skills and profound magical power slowly flowing through his body, bringing him a feeling of warmth and comfort.

As time went by, about a minute later, Xiao Chen gently pulled out all the silver needles. The silver needles, originally crystal clear, were now entangled with a trace of black gas, which was the toxin accumulated in Zhao Liang's body for a long time.

Xiao Chen smiled slightly and took a deep breath. A strong suction force came out of his mouth, sucking all the black poisonous gas into his body. Then, he closed his eyes and began to circulate the immortal power in his body, refining these toxins one by one and turning them into nothingness.

When Xiao Chen opened his eyes again, his eyes were clearer and brighter, as if he had just experienced a baptism. He smiled and looked at Zhao Liang: "Now, try to circulate your Qi again." (End of this chapter)
