My Ares Son-in-Law

Bai Jun tried to struggle and get up from the ground, but found that his body seemed to be pressed down by a thousand-pound stone and he could not move. He could only stare at Xiao Chen not far away with his eyes wide open, full of fear and despair, as if he wanted to find a trace of answer or relief from him.

At this moment, all the previous scenes flashed through Bai Jun's mind like a kaleidoscope - the confrontation at Jiuseju, Xiao Chen's frightening strength, and his own helplessness and fear at that time.

Those memories were like sharp blades, cutting his heart again and again, making him realize more clearly that the man in front of him was someone he could never reach.

Fear and despair surged like a tide, drowning Bai Jun. He knew that he was powerless to change the situation today and could only let fate take its course. Xiao Chen, like a judge from above, stood there quietly, with a deep gaze, as if he could see through everything.

The people around seemed to be struck by an invisible force, with disbelief on their faces. They looked at each other, whispering, their eyes full of regret and shock for underestimating Xiao Chen's strength.

No one expected that Xiao Chen, who seemed gentle and elegant on weekdays, could burst out with such amazing courage and strength at the critical moment and directly challenged Bai Jun, who was usually arrogant and domineering. This scene shocked everyone present.

When they slowly recovered from their shock, they found that Xiao Chen had already moved among the crowd, slowly leading the anxious Zhao Liang to his unconscious father. The air was filled with a tense and expectant atmosphere, and everyone followed him involuntarily, wanting to witness the miracle that might happen next.

"Mr. Xiao, my dad...he..." Zhao Liang's voice trembled slightly, his eyes full of anxiety and helplessness. He held Xiao Chen's hand tightly, as if it was his only support at the moment. Looking at his father's pale face, lying there without any reaction, Zhao Liang's heart felt like it was being pressed by a heavy stone, and he couldn't breathe.

He knew very well that Xiao Chen had extraordinary medical attainments, but his father's condition was already on the verge of life and death. Even Xiao Chen made him feel uneasy.

Sending him to the hospital and using advanced medical equipment might give him a glimmer of hope. This thought flashed through his mind, but was immediately replaced by trust in Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen patted Zhao Liang's shoulder gently, his eyes full of determination and warmth. He slowed down his speech, as if every word was loaded with emotion: "Don't worry, brother, you've found the right person. I went to the Island of the Dead through many hardships, but I managed to collect some rare elixirs without any danger. Among them, there is one, which can just help your father out of his urgent need and save his life."

After saying this, Xiao Chen's eyes became exceptionally gentle, and he slowly reached his hand to his waist. His movements were natural and covert, as if he was performing a sacred ritual.

While the people around him were either immersed in their own thoughts or not paying much attention to his actions, Xiao Chen lightly touched it, and with a slight movement of his fingertips, a fruit sparkling with a faint luster quietly appeared in his palm.

This fruit, called "Huishen Fruit", is a very rare treasure in the world. It has a smooth skin and a warm color, as if it contains the purest power of life.

According to ancient records, the Huisheng Fruit matures every three years, and each time it matures, it absorbs the essence of heaven and earth, the brilliance of the sun and the moon. For ordinary people, even if the fire of life is about to go out, as long as they take this fruit, they can miraculously regain their life.

For martial artists, the Huisheng Fruit is a rare treasure. It can not only quickly restore the lost vitality in the body, but also nourish the meridians and improve cultivation. Although Zhao Liang's father is just a beginner in martial arts and has a low level of cultivation, the Huisheng Fruit will have a more significant effect on him, as if it was tailor-made for him, and can maximize his potential and help him overcome difficulties.

Because Zhao Liang's father was unconscious, his face was as pale as paper, and he couldn't even swallow the weakest movement. Xiao Chen knew that the situation was urgent and could not be delayed. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes and concentrated, and the immortal power in his body surged like a rushing river, and instantly gathered in his palm.

As he chanted the ancient spell softly, a bright light appeared in his palm. The resurrection fruit seemed to be given life, slowly spinning, gradually becoming crystal clear, and finally turning into a warm and powerful medicinal power.

Xiao Chen carefully guided the medicinal power, using his fingers as a guide, and gently but firmly injected it into Zhao Liang's father's body. Wherever the medicinal power passed, it was like a spring breeze, nourishing the dried-up spring of life and bringing vitality.

Zhao Liang watched nervously from the side, his hands clenched into fists, his eyes flickering with both worry and hope.

But in a moment, a miracle happened. Zhao Liang's father's eyelids trembled slightly, and then slowly opened. Although there was still some confusion and weakness in his eyes, the flame of life had been rekindled, which cheered up everyone present.

He tried to speak, his voice was weak but clearly audible, as if expressing his desire and gratitude for life.

"Zhao Liang, help your father and let him rest aside first." Xiao Chen's voice was gentle and powerful. He knew that Zhao Liang must be feeling mixed emotions at the moment, both happy and uneasy. He gently patted Zhao Liang's shoulder, giving him silent support and encouragement.

Hearing this, Zhao Liang hurried forward and carefully helped his father up, letting him lean on him. The father and son smiled at each other, their eyes full of relief for surviving the disaster and deep affection for each other.

Xiao Chen stood up, looked around, and secretly thought about what to do next. He knew that although Zhao Liang's father was no longer in danger, follow-up treatment and recuperation were equally important.

"Zhao Liang, take good care of your father first. When I finish dealing with some things here, I will develop a detailed treatment plan for him to ensure that he can fully recover." Xiao Chen's words were full of confidence and determination, which made Zhao Liang feel extremely relieved. He nodded, his eyes full of gratitude and trust.

"But Mr. Xiao, this is no joke. The people standing opposite us are the Ami Group, a giant in the business world with connections everywhere. In their eyes, people like us are probably not even as good as ants."

There was an unconscious tremor in Zhao Liang's voice. He looked up at Xiao Chen, his eyes full of worry and confusion.

"Miss Yulan originally arranged for my safety and specially arranged for someone to protect me. But you also know that although the Jiang family is quite powerful, they are ultimately unwilling to easily confront a behemoth like the Amei Group..." At this point, Zhao Liang's voice was somewhat helpless. (End of this chapter)
