Immortal Emperor's Life As A Son-in-law

It was like being soaked in an ice pool.    

The temperature was too cold, and Xiao Chen could not help but shiver.    

He opened his eyes vigorously, and only then did he feel the pain all over his body.    

Except for a pair of eyes and lips, he could not move at all.    

"I'm not dead!"    

When he saw the pure white ceiling above his head and smelled the rich smell of herbs coming from outside the window, he heaved a sigh of relief.    

He rolled his eyes and looked around. What he saw was a simple and crude house.    

In addition to the strong smell of herbs mixed in the air, there was also a faint fishy smell.    

However, in comparison, the herbal smell was much richer.    

"What is this place?" One of the reasons was because it flashed in his mind.    

However, before he could find an answer, he heard a creaking sound. The door opened wide and a child carrying a bowl spoon walked in.    

He was young, about thirteen or fourteen years old. He was thin, and his skin was dark.    

When he entered, he saw Xiao Chen looking at him. His face was wild with joy and he immediately ran to the bedside.    

"Great, you finally woke up!"    

As he spoke, he even used his hand to probe Xiao Chen's forehead.    

"You don't know. When my grandfather and I went out to sea to fish, we saw you floating on the surface of the sea. We were really shocked."    

The child, on the other hand, did not recognize strangers at all. As he spoke, he held the bowl of medicine close to his mouth and blew it.    

"Although you don't look fat, you exhausted Grandpa and me. In order to treat you, I returned in advance. However, since you're awake, our sweat isn't in vain."    

As he spoke, the child finally realized something.    

His hands paused for a moment, and then he raised his eyes, revealing a troubled expression.    

"It can't be that he doesn't understand Mandarin, right? Hey, Sawadika!"    

As he spoke, he placed the bowl to the side and made two gestures.    

He stared hard at Xiao Chen's reaction without blinking.    

In the end, Xiao Chen still did not reply. He frowned again and said, "The basket handle baby."    

After that, Xiao Chen still did not have any reaction. Feeling depressed, the child said again, "Color rice mom three!"    

He tossed and turned and said a few languages, but none of them were standard foreign languages. They had thick accents.    

In short, it sounded a little awkward. They were all words that often appeared in movies or dramas in R Country's Southern Korea.    

"Can you hear me?"    

The little guy was really depressed. He stretched out his claw and waved it in front of Xiao Chen.    

Xiao Chen did not even blink. He just stared at the unicorn.    

"Grandpa, it's bad. This guy might have been injured too badly. He must be stupid. You said we shouldn't care about him for the rest of his life!"    

The little fellow did not even feed him medicine. He directly pounced to the side of the door and shouted towards the outside.    

After saying that, a figure finally walked in from outside the door.    

He was tall and big. Although his clothes were rough and crude, his footsteps were very steady.    

His hair was white, and his deep eyes were shining brightly.    

Xiao Chen's eyes finally lit up when he saw this person.    

"This is an expert!" Xiao Chen had this feeling almost instantly.    

Although he couldn't use his strength due to his severe injuries, his powerful soul didn't suffer any serious injuries.    

Otherwise, he wouldn't have woken up after only two days of coma.    

"You go out first, I'll talk to him for a bit"    

"Then I'll go cook first. What can he eat?"    

"Just make some porridge." The old man said indifferently before waving his hand.    

The child did not think too much and directly turned around.    

After the child left, the old man's eyes fiercely narrowed.    

"I know you can speak." The old man picked up the medicine bowl and pulled Xiao Chen up from the bed.    

The bowl was placed next to Xiao Chen's mouth. He didn't care if Xiao Chen was happy or not, he just poured it into his mouth.    

The pain made Xiao Chen suck in a breath of cold air.    

However, he still drank the medicine in one go.    

At this moment, the old man loosened his arm and Xiao Chen held on.    

Clang! The wound was pulled again, and Xiao Chen's eyelids couldn't help but tremble.    

Although he was grateful that this old man had saved his life, but speaking of which, couldn't he be gentler?    

"Tell me, how did you get this ring?"    

The old man put down the bowl and turned his head to look at him coldly.    

Xiao Chen's heart skipped a beat.    

Now he knew that this ring had something to do with his cheap grandfather.    

In other words, this ring might be related to the Hidden Sect, or even the Death Medicine King's Valley.    

However, he couldn't touch it now, so he could only lie.    

He still didn't understand the origin of this old man, and why he knew about this ring. He didn't even know where it was.    

"Since that's the case, return it to me!"    

"Return it to you? What does this ring have to do with you?"    

"Because it was originally refined by me!" The old man had a calm expression. But his gaze suddenly became distant.    

It was as if he had recalled something from a long time ago.    

Xiao Chen became even more vigilant when he heard this. He had heard that this ring was once one of the tokens of Medicine King's Valley.    

It was a ring worn by the higher ups of the Medicine King's Valley. It was also the symbol of the higher ups in the Medicine King's Valley.    

But now, this person said that this ring was refined by him!    

Didn't that mean that this person wasn't just an old monster, but also a member of the Medicine King's Valley?    

"Could it be that this is the Medicine King's Valley? No wonder the smell of herbs is so strong!" Xiao Chen felt a chill in his heart.    

He had just escaped death, but he did not expect to fall into the tiger's den. At this moment, his mood was not as simple as being depressed.    

"Back then, I specially refined this place to congratulate my old friend on his promotion. In the name of the sect, I bestowed it upon him. Since the ring has fallen into your hands, I'm afraid that my old friend... "    

As he said this, the old man's expression dimmed, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.    

Xiao Chen naturally would not believe this one-sided statement, so as the old man spoke, he kept an eye on the old man's expression.    

But with his senses, all of the old man's emotions were not fake.    

"Of course, with your age, you can't do anything to him, so I believe you, the one who picked it up! But it's fine if you don't encounter an old friend's relics, but if you do, you naturally can't just sit by and do nothing."    

"So, you want to snatch my stuff!"    

"That depends on whether you give it to me or not!"    

"Even if you pick it up, it is still by your old friend's side. Why don't you ask him how he died first?"    

Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes and said indifferently, but it made the old man stunned.    

After that, he burst into laughter and slapped Xiao Chen's shoulder. His cold eyes revealed a trace of relief.    

"Good, good, good! Just based on your words, this ring will be given to you as a gift!"    

Xiao Chen was dumbfounded. He had no idea what this old man was up to.    

"That's enough. Rest assured and recover from your injuries. Don't worry, no one can find you here. We'll talk when you get better!"    

The old man waved his hand and put away the bowl of medicine. He no longer paid any attention to the dumbfounded Xiao Chen. He seemed to be in a good mood.
