Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Chapter 1513: Chapter 344: Chen 94’s Silver Tongue Tricks His Father-in-law (3)

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhong immediately said: ”Then, we’ll follow the Lord’s lead.”

After speaking, he waved his hand and immediately led his men to withdraw from the area.

Chen Jie continued to ride forward, took a few more steps, and then saw Zhu Zong and his group in the trees, rescuing them according to protocol.

At this time, Chen Jie inquired about the situation from Zhu Zong, who answered: ”The attackers were experts, likely possessing cultivation of the Dragon Realm. I was knocked down before I could react.”

Chen Jie responded: ”Hmm, did you see the Commandery Princess and the others?”

Zhu Zong shook his head.

Chen Jie instructed him to take his people and leave first.

Meanwhile, Chen Jie continued forward, sensing that someone was deliberately leading him towards Evil Tiger Ridge.

Sure enough, after walking for a short while, Chen Jie heard a series of muffled sounds. Looking up, Chen Jie saw Shi Gengming, the Soul-breaking Spear, Chen Xiaohu, and their subordinates all hanging from the trees.

Upon seeing Chen Jie, they began to call out muffled voices. Chen Jie narrowed his eyes in thought, wondering who was acting behind the scenes.

As he pondered this, two people emerged from the darkness ahead, both dressed in black, looking at Chen Jie and saying: ”Chen Jiusi?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at them and asked: ”Where is the Commandery Princess?”

The two did not answer but instead looked at him and said: ”Our master wants to see you.”

Chen Jie looked at them and asked: ”Ruyang King?”

The two did not reply, but their expressions told Chen Jie that he was correct; indeed, the Ruyang King wanted to see him.

Understanding this, Chen Jie took a deep breath, thinking that even a hideous son-in-law must meet his father-in-law.

With this thought, Chen Jie followed the two forward.

Upon arriving ahead, Chen Jie saw a large tree beneath which there was a tent illuminated by lamplight.

A burly man sat inside, holding a book, though it was evident his attention was not on the book.

An oil lamp was lit beside him, and not far away was a post with a woman tied to it — it was Zhao Ya.

Zhao Ya was tied to the post, a piece of white cloth stuffed in her mouth.

Two guards stood watch there.

The Ruyang King irritably put aside the book in front of him, and upon seeing the two guards leading Chen Jie in, he slowed down and flipped the pages carefully.

Chen Jie pretended not to notice, taking a few steps to the front of the tent.

Upon seeing Zhao Ya, who had reddened eyes, she made muffled sounds upon seeing Chen Jie.

Chen Jie was just about to speak when the Ruyang King slammed the book onto the table beside him and said: ”Chen Jiusi!”

Chen Jie immediately turned around, clasping his fists and saying: ”Prince.”

The Ruyang King looked at him and said: ”Long time no see.”

Chen Jie replied: ”Indeed, it’s been about one or two months.”

The Ruyang King looked at Chen Jie, sizing him up and down, and said: ”Hmm, you do have some talent. I haven’t seen you for one or two months, and you’ve already entered the Middle Melting Furnace Realm.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie quickly cupped his hands and said: ”This is mere luck, mere luck.”

Being scrutinized by the Ruyang King, Chen Jie suddenly felt as if he were being examined for the first time at his father-in-law’s house.

”Little Chen, I’ve heard you can earn over thirty thousand?”

”Ah, yes, yes.”

”Hmm, you still need to work harder...”

...

Chen Jie shook his head to clear these odd thoughts, realizing that he was facing a formidable Melt God Realm expert who could take his life at any moment!

Bang!

The Ruyang King looked at Chen Jie, and with a fierce slap on the table, his expression turned grim as he said: ”Do you think I’m being polite with you, Chen Jiusi? You have quite the nerve!”

Upon uttering these words, the next moment, Ruyang King’s fierce flames started burning behind him.

The Gang Qi had almost become tangible, and the next moment, this terrifying Gang Qi directly transformed into a giant hand, instantly gripping Chen Jie, followed by a tight squeeze, making Chen Jie feel his chest bones cracking, as if they might break at any moment.

Crack, crack, crack...

Listening to his chest bones crack, Chen Jie suddenly looked up at the Ruyang King.

The Ruyang King said: ”Chen Jiusi, now I’m crushing you like crushing an ant. You dare touch my daughter? Speak, any last words.”

Woo, woo...

Watching the Ruyang King suddenly attacking Chen Jiusi, Zhao Ya struggled desperately, her eyes full of terror.

She understood her father; although he appeared smiling and easy to talk to, those who understood the Ruyang King knew he wouldn’t even blink while taking someone’s life. Sometimes he’d casually kill someone while speaking.

This was the terror of the Ruyang King.

And Chen Jie was being grabbed by the Ruyang King, able to feel the genuine killing intent. The claw formed from the Gang Qi, if squeezed fully, could leave his already injured body dead, or at least crippled.

Chen Jie gritted his teeth, resisting the pressure from the Ruyang King.

Looking at the Ruyang King, he said: ”Prince, if you kill me now, you’ll regret it.”

The Ruyang King sneered coldly in response, saying: ”Regret? Ha, ha, I never regret.”

”Is that your last words?”

Pressing him further, the Ruyang King asked. Chen Jie took a deep breath and said: ”Prince, while killing me is easy for you, have you thought about the consequences afterward?”

The Ruyang King said: ”Consequences? Are you trying to threaten me?”

”Prince misunderstands; I dare not threaten you. But, Prince, I do have something to say.”

”Speak.”

”Right now, my life hangs in your hands, Prince. With a mere twitch, my life could be gone. So every word I say now comes from the heart, and I ask you, Prince, to take careful note.”

Upon hearing this, the Ruyang King looked at Chen Jie and said: ”What are your words?”
