The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

The Forbidden Land of the Situ Family has always been only accessible by the Family Head, but since Situ Yuan died, no one knows the way to unlock the Forbidden Land. Situ Feng tried many methods, even having Zhou Hongyun attempt it, but all failed in the end.

So, out of desperation, he could only come to Su Changfeng.

In Situ Feng’s eyes, the Forbidden Land surely contains the family’s most precious items. How could he not be curious?

”You mentioned it’s the Forbidden Land of the Situ Family, right? It’s called forbidden after all. Isn’t it inappropriate for an outsider like me to go there?” Su Changfeng said with his mouth, but deep inside he was already quite interested.

Considering that the Situ Family is the top family within Xingluo, their Forbidden Land surely holds many treasures, possibly even ones he would like.

”The items of the Situ Family are naturally Mr. Su’s as well. Anything Mr. Su takes a liking to, just speak up.” Situ Feng wasn’t foolish. To seek help, one must offer something in return. So he had made up his mind that if Su Changfeng fancied anything, he could have it.

Su Changfeng raised an eyebrow. Indeed, dealing with smart people is easy; no need for much nonsense, and the other party understands your meaning.

”In that case, I’ll go with you to take a look.” Su Changfeng stated.

Soon, the two arrived at Situ Feng’s room. This was originally Situ Feng’s residence as all the previous Family Heads of the Situ Family stayed here, mainly because the secret passage to the Forbidden Land was right here.

To Situ Feng, living so close to the Forbidden Land every day but unable to enter was indeed torturous, otherwise, why would he seek out Su Changfeng? After all, asking for Su Changfeng’s help definitely required a price.

Then, Situ Feng operated a mechanism, and a hidden door appeared in the room, and they walked in.

The passage was narrow, only allowing one person to pass through. After walking for a few minutes, they finally reached another door.

”Mr. Su, this door is made of extremely special materials, force cannot open it,” Situ Feng explained, also informing Su Changfeng to not attempt to force it open.

Seeing the door in front of him, Su Changfeng was startled, because the door was too familiar. Although he wasn’t sure what material it was made of, it absolutely seemed like some kind of steel. But how could something like this exist on the Tianyuan Continent? It was clearly from their world.

Su Changfeng suddenly looked at Situ Feng beside him, scrutinizingly. Elder Wu had mentioned before, Tuo Shi had sent many people to the Tianyuan Continent, but none had returned. Could it be that the Situ Family had some connection with Tuo Shi?

Or perhaps the Situ Family was originally founded by someone from Tuo Shi, and that’s why they knew about steel?

Thinking carefully, Su Changfeng felt it was unlikely. Even if the other party knew about steel, and had the technology, without professional tools and equipment, how could they create such a perfect thing?

”Mr. Su, are you alright?” Situ Feng asked, glancing at Su Changfeng, his body trembling slightly.

”I’m fine, just find it peculiar. After all, I’ve never seen such a material before,” Su Changfeng said.

Situ Feng nodded, he had also never seen such a thing before, much harder than iron.

”Mr. Su, do you have a way to unlock it?” Situ Feng asked.

A hint of amusement flashed in Su Changfeng’s eyes. He had already noticed the password lock, so opening this door was just a matter of time. But it was curious, even in their place, such high-level security doors weren’t common in ordinary homes, so how did it appear on the Tianyuan Continent?

”You could actually try entering from elsewhere, worst case, dig an entrance,” Su Changfeng suggested to Situ Feng.

Situ Feng gave a wry smile; he had already tried. However, the surroundings of the Forbidden Land were made of the same material, completely like an iron box; the only way in was through this door.

Hearing Situ Feng’s explanation, Su Changfeng became even more curious. Who left this and what was inside?

”You go out first, let me see if I can crack it,” Su Changfeng said to Situ Feng.

A flicker of worry appeared in Situ Feng’s eyes, but he skillfully concealed it. He had no right to refuse Su Changfeng’s command.

Once Situ Feng was out, Su Changfeng felt a headache coming. He had never done such a thing, and as far as he knew, if one failed a few times with this kind of password lock, it would lock permanently, making it even harder to open.

Su Changfeng had watched movies about lock picking before, but such things generally required professional tools. Where would he find tools now?

”Hey, can you open this thing?” Su Changfeng asked.

The White Jade Python coiled around his arm suddenly became lively, looking somewhat excited. It hadn’t been out for a long time, and during the previous battle, it was on the verge of breaking free if not for Su Changfeng’s suppression.

This prime Exotic Beast like the White Jade Python would typically only appear deep within the Sourceless Forest. Though Su Changfeng couldn’t determine its level, he knew it was much more powerful than ordinary Exotic Beasts.

”If you can’t manage it, keep still. If you open it, I’ll let you outside to play for a few days, how about that?” Su Changfeng proposed.

Hearing this, the White Jade Python visibly grew more excited.

In the next moment, the little creature’s entire being emitted a faint glow, seemingly gentle and harmless, yet gathering potent strength.

Then, it crawled onto the security door, and to everyone’s surprise, it began to dissolve, the sizzling sound audible. Such terrifying corrosive power left Su Changfeng stunned.

What the hell, this little thing had such an ability?

Remembering that it wrapped around his arm every day made Su Changfeng shudder. If this little thing did something to his hand, would he still be alive now?

Luckily, Su Changfeng was already bonded with the White Jade Python, their lives interlinked together, so the White Jade Python would do nothing against him.

”You little one, you’re quite formidable, aren’t you?” Noticing the door had successfully formed a hole, Su Changfeng couldn’t help but smile.

At this moment, the little creature suddenly paused, its tiny head aiming towards Su Changfeng, as if prompting something.

”I know, once you open it, I’ll surely let you out to play for several days,” Su Changfeng assured.

Hearing this, the little creature finally calmed, continuing to work diligently.

Not long after, a large hole appeared in the door, enough to let someone pass. Su Changfeng retracted the White Jade Python and then called upon Situ Feng.
