The SSSSSSSS-level Mad Dragon is released from prison!

Li Qiuyue disregarded her dignity and rushed to Jiang Chen's side.

The word "son-in-law" stunned everyone present.

Su Jinyu looked at her mother in disbelief.

Jiang Chen glanced at Li Qiuyue; this woman was the only person in the Su family who had ever shown him kindness.

He loosened his grip.

Xiaoyu fell to the ground, clutching her neck and coughing violently.

"Mom! What did you call him?" Su Jinyu asked, her voice trembling with tears. "He ruined my reputation, and you still call him your son-in-law?"

"Want me to explain?"

Li Qiuyue walked towards Su Jinyu and took her hand.

"Silly child! Have you forgotten what happened last night? If it weren't for Jiang Chen, you would have been an ice sculpture by now! It was me, I begged Jiang Chen to save you! I was the one who let him into your room! Blame me if you want!"

Su Changhe followed him in. Looking at the mess in the room and Jiang Chen's calm and composed demeanor, he was furious.

"Qiuyue! You're confused! Is this how you treat and save lives? Look at this mess, the bed is practically falling apart! This isn't treating patients, this is clearly..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning couldn't be clearer.

"Shut up!" Li Qiuyue turned around and yelled at Su Changhe, "Are you even Jinyu's biological father?!"

Su Jinyu regained some of her rationality, but the physical humiliation and inner pride made it impossible for her to accept.

She bit her lip, tears welling in her eyes. "Whatever his motives, he still took my innocence!"

Jiang Chen found the family's commotion somewhat amusing.

He walked up to Su Jinyu.

"Feel the power within your body."

Su Jinyu felt a tightness in her chest under his gaze and instinctively stepped back.

"If you don't want to die, do as I say."

"Now, punch this bed with all your might."

"Why should I listen to you!" Su Jinyu retorted stubbornly.

You have no choice.

Su Jinyu looked at him, then at her anxious mother beside her, and at Xiaoyu who looked wary.

She needed an outlet to vent her anger and resentment.

"good!"

She took a deep breath, clenched her fist, concentrated all her hatred in her palm, and slammed it down hard on the expensive solid wood bedside table!

She was prepared for the excruciating pain of her fist.

However, the expected pain did not come.

"Bang!"

A muffled thud.

The sturdy solid wood bedside table crumbled into pieces under her fist, like a fragile cookie, with wood chips flying everywhere!

Su Jinyu stared blankly at her fist.

She felt no pain, only a warm current she had never felt before flowing through her limbs and bones.

"This...how is this possible..."

"Internal strength!"

Xiaoyu, who was standing nearby, gasped in shock. Looking at the wood chips on the ground, her face was filled with horror.

"Miss...you...you're a master of internal energy now!"

Xiaoyu is a martial arts practitioner, and she knows best what this means.

For an ordinary person to go from physical training to developing internal strength, even a person with exceptional talent would need ten years of arduous practice.

And Su Jinyu, overnight, crossed a threshold that countless people could not cross in their entire lives!

Jiang Chen's voice rang out at just the right moment.

"I not only saved your life, but also helped you awaken the Ice Phoenix Body, allowing you to skip the Body Tempering stage and go straight to Inner Strength."

"I'm being lenient by not holding you responsible!"

Su Jinyu's mind was completely in chaos.

The facts were undeniable, leaving her no choice but to believe them.

Jiang Chen did not lie to her.

He really saved her and gave her an incredible stroke of luck.

Can……

She looked down at the messy bed, everything on it reminding her of what had happened last night.

"I..." Su Jinyu's voice was hoarse. She wanted to say thank you, but she couldn't get the words out.

After a long while, she raised her head, the tears in her eyes had dried, replaced by a calmness reminiscent of a business negotiation.

"I admit, you saved me."

"But that's one thing. You've ruined my reputation, that's another."

She lifted the covers and took out a checkbook and pen from the bedside table drawer.

"This matter must not be leaked. My reputation and the Su family's face must not be tarnished in any way."

She lowered her head and quickly scribbled a string of numbers on the check.

"Fill out whatever you want on this check. Ten million, one hundred million, it's all fine."

"Take the money, leave the Su family, leave Qincheng. And never show your face in front of me again."

"We're even."

She spoke these words resolutely, leaving no room for negotiation.

Upon seeing this, Su Changhe immediately perked up. He snatched the check from Su Jinyu's hand as if he had obtained a royal sword.

He walked up to Jiang Chen and waved the blank check in front of Jiang Chen's eyes.

"Did you hear that, you labor camp inmate!"

"Our Su family owes you nothing! Take this check and get out! Someone like you dares to covet my daughter? A toad trying to eat swan meat!"

"Get out of here! Don't dirty our Su family's land!"

Li Qiuyue tried to stop him, but Su Changhe pushed her away.

"Look closely! This is how the Su family disposes of garbage!"

Jiang Chen looked at the father and daughter in front of him and suddenly smiled.

He didn't even glance at the check.

His gaze fell on Li Qiuyue.

"Auntie, you seem to have some old ailments related to blood and qi deficiency."

Li Qiuyue was taken aback, then nodded subconsciously. She had developed a chronic illness in her youth, and in recent years she had often felt dizzy and weak, having seen many famous doctors, but none of them could cure her.

Jiang Chen swiftly pressed a pressure point on her wrist with his fingers.

A warm current flowed in, and Li Qiuyue felt a lightness all over her body, as if the heaviness of many years had been swept away.

"you……"

"This finger is to repay your kindness in protecting me last night." Jiang Chen withdrew his hand.

Then, he turned to look at Su Jinyu.

"You think I care about your Ice Phoenix Body?"

"To tell you the truth, through our dual cultivation, the first shackle within me has been broken. Now, you are of no use to me."

His words were like a knife, precisely piercing Su Jinyu's proudest spot.

"As for this check..."

Jiang Chen turned around and strode towards the door.

"Keep it for treating your own brain."

He left decisively, without the slightest trace of regret.

"Stop right there!" Su Changhe yelled behind him. "Did I say you could leave?!"

Jiang Chen walked to the door without turning his head.

He looked at Su Changhe, who was blocking his way, and said only one word.

"roll."

Su Changhe wanted to say something, but was swept by Jiang Chen's gaze, a gaze that looked like he was looking at a dead man.

His words caught in his throat, and his body involuntarily moved aside to make way for him.

Jiang Chen opened the door and went out.

Until his figure disappeared outside the villa gate.

Su Changhe finally let out a long sigh of relief, as if he had just gotten rid of a plague.

"Good riddance! I'd feel bad if someone like that stayed even a second longer!" He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Su Jinyu stood by the window on the second floor, watching Jiang Chen's departing figure.

That figure was tall, aloof, and showed no trace of lingering affection.

For some reason, a strange emptiness and unease welled up in her heart.

But she quickly suppressed these feelings.

It's okay to leave.

From now on, we owe each other nothing.

……

Jiang Chen stepped out of the villa gate of Xijiang Garden, the midday sun shining warmly on him.

He could feel that the True Qi of the Formless Technique in his dantian was like a surging river, more than ten times stronger than before.

The first Immortal-Slaying Curse was broken, giving him a sense of liberation and freedom.

The Ice Phoenix Body has been obtained.

It's time to go to the Jiang family and take back what's rightfully ours.

He flagged down a taxi.

"Master, to the Jiang family mansion."

Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a grand Chinese mansion.

Jiang Chen paid and got out of the car.

He looked up at the plaque hanging above the door, with the words "Jiang Mansion" written in a flamboyant style.

Five years ago, he was sent to hell by his own family through this very gate.

He came back today.

Within Jiang Chen's body, his true energy began to surge uncontrollably, and an uncontrollable killing intent rose from the depths of his heart.
