Chapter 7 The Best Son-in-Law in Progress
"Xiao'er, come in." Jiang Jia's voice came from behind the door.
Ye Nanxiao gently pushed open the door and found that Jiang Nannan had already fallen asleep on Jiang Jia's bed. Her pretty face was covered in tears, which made Ye Nanxiao feel a pang of heartache.
Jiang Jia stroked Jiang Nannan's hair, her gaze gentle and tender. If it weren't for the fact that Jiang Nannan still held a place in Jiang Jia's heart, she might have already passed away ten years ago.
Jiang Jia turned to look at Ye Nanxiao, her face serious, and said, "Xiao'er, from now on I'm entrusting Nannan to you. Please take good care of Nannan for me."
Hearing Jiang Jia's words, which sounded like she was entrusting her to someone, Ye Nanxiao frowned and nodded.
Seeing Ye Nanxiao's expression, Jiang Jia smiled and explained, "I know my illness is incurable."
"That's not necessarily true. How will we know if we don't try?" Ye Nanxiao said thoughtfully, arms crossed.
Jiang Jia pondered for a moment, a glimmer of hope flashing in her eyes, and said to Ye Nanxiao, "What you said makes sense, then I'll trouble you, Xiao'er."
"Household matters are not troublesome," Ye Nanxiao said with a smile.
Ye Nanxiao carried Jiang Nannan back to his room and spent some time sensing the bloodline of the Qingqiu Great Demon. Within his bloodline lay five supernatural powers, which was why Ye Nanxiao felt he could use the power of the Qingqiu Great Demon within him to help Jiang Jia cleanse her marrow and strengthen her bones.
One of his supernatural powers is that "those who eat the nine-tailed fox will not be poisoned," meaning that Ye Nanxiao's primordial blood essence has the effect of dispelling evil spirits and poisonous gas.
According to Jiang Jia, she was ambushed by a poison master who planted a bone-corroding poison. The poison was extremely potent and eroded like a bone. Because of the ambush, she did not have time to suppress the poison and could only let it slowly erode her life force. Even as her soul power continued to dissipate, she could not suppress the poison.
After listening, Ye Nanxiao pondered, thinking, "My primordial essence can dispel evil spirits and poisons, so I can use it to remove the toxins from my mother-in-law's body."
After thinking it over, Ye Nanxiao said softly to Jiang Jia, "Mother, shall we begin?"
Hearing Ye Nanxiao address her as such, Jiang Jia smiled happily, "Xiao'er, I agree. You'll have to take care of Nannan on your own now."
The serious atmosphere was instantly broken. Ye Nanxiao blushed, coughed twice, and began to mobilize the supernatural powers in his bloodline.
Ye Nanxiao felt that his cheat system was quite useful; it was powerful and had many uses, such as using essence and blood to cleanse the tendons and marrow.
Demon cores, demon hearts, demon kidneys—they're all highly nutritious.
A thick, blood-red mist emanated from Ye Nanxiao's body, and his eyes turned into blood-red fox pupils. The light blue patterns beneath his fox pupils transformed into blood-red patterns, and his nine-tailed fox tails also acquired blood-red patterns. Nine streams of soul power, carrying a misty blood aura, drifted out from Ye Nanxiao's nine tails.
The blood energy merged into Ye Nanxiao's soul power, turning the originally light blue soul power into a blood color, and slowly fell onto Jiang Jia's body.
The moment the crimson soul power touched Jiang Jia's body, Jiang Jia's eyes widened in pain, a pain that penetrated to the bone marrow, a pain that felt like her bones and nerves were being scraped away.
Normally, the process of cleansing the tendons and marrow should not be painful. However, Jiang Jia's body contained toxins that had taken root in her nerves and bone marrow and had to be scraped out. The pain of removing nerves is something that ordinary people cannot endure.
During the process, he had to be very careful not to damage Jiang Jia's nerves. After only a short while, Ye Nanxiao was already covered in sweat. The high-precision operation and the energy consumption were taking their toll on him.
The Snow Empress, residing in the Sea of Spirit, sighed, raised her delicate hand, and lifted a corner of the seal. Vast soul power surged out, supporting Ye Nanxiao.
With Xue Di's help, the pressure on Ye Nanxiao was relieved somewhat.
As time passed, Jiang Jia's body began to tremble uncontrollably, and a dark purple liquid slowly oozed from her fingers and toes.
Ye Nanxiao felt his soul power and spiritual sea being rapidly depleted, and his body began to tremble. To ensure the smooth progress, he bit his tongue hard, the taste of blood spreading in his mouth. He forcibly raised his spirit, as he had reached a critical moment. The scraping was complete, and all that remained was to force out all the toxins.
Xue Di noticed Ye Nanxiao's current physical condition and immediately sped up the process of expelling the toxins from Jiang Jia's body.
"Hold on, Xiao'er. This is your chance. Break through your limits, break through your bottleneck, and seize this opportunity." Xue Di's voice echoed in Ye Nanxiao's mind.
I can't stop, I can't let Nan Nan down. Hang in there, Nan Nan is still waiting for me to bring her good news.
Ye Nanxiao thought of Jiang Nannan, and his previously hazy consciousness cleared again. He gritted his teeth and persevered, his nine tails waving wildly.
Ye Nanxiao frantically drained his own soul power, his heart pounding rapidly.
At this moment, Ye Nanxiao felt as if every second was an eternity, and he endured the exhaustion of his body's soul power.
Just as he heard a "crack" from his heart, Ye Nanxiao suddenly became energetic, and a large amount of soul power surged from his heart to his limbs and bones, making his body stronger.
Ye Nanxiao understood that he had broken through his limit, so he immediately increased the amount of soul power he was sending. Jiang Jia was also covered in sweat, her face contorted, and she was clenching her teeth to keep quiet. Her body, which had become bloated due to the poison, was slowly becoming more shapely, and her face was gradually becoming younger.
Just as Ye Nanxiao was about to reach his limit again, Xue Di successfully forced out the last trace of toxin from Jiang Jia's body.
Ye Nanxiao controlled his soul power to slowly put Jiang Jia on the bed, then sat down heavily on the ground, panting.
Jiang Jia looked at the venom ball above her, which was the size of a basketball, and her expression was complicated, filled with mixed feelings.
Jiang Jia tried to sit up, but to her surprise, she sat up easily with just a little effort. Her usually weak body was now full of strength.
Jiang Jia thought for a moment, then used her waist strength to jump off the bed, a move that startled Ye Nanxiao.
Ye Nanxiao was about to say something when Jiang Jiasu waved her hand to stop him. "It's nothing, I feel much better."
Then, Jiang Jia smelled herself and glanced at her bare arms. Her skin was covered with a layer of black, oily substance, which was the impurities expelled from her body after the marrow cleansing. The next moment, she rushed into the bathroom at a speed faster than a Super Douluo. Her speed was completely unlike that of someone who had just recovered.
"Snow Emperor, if you women's love of beauty were combined, wouldn't you be able to rule the continent?" Ye Nanxiao exclaimed.
The Snow Empress, who was helping Ye Nanxiao recover his soul power, raised an eyebrow and said, "Whether you rule or not, I don't know. I only know that if you keep talking nonsense, you can go recover your soul power yourself."
"I know I'm wrong, I know I'm wrong." Ye Nanxiao always follows his heart.
While meditating cross-legged, Ye Nanxiao waited for Jiang Nannan to wake up so he could tell her the good news. Suddenly, he sensed a surge of soul power around him.
Ye Nanxiao released his "Mind's Eye" to investigate and sense the rising soul power. Level 10, level 20, level 30, it soared all the way up and soon exceeded the level that Ye Nanxiao could sense.
"I wonder how much my mother-in-law's cultivation can recover," Ye Nanxiao thought.
The owner of that soul power was Jiang Jia. After years of being poisoned, she felt her soul power dissipating bit by bit, and the pain she endured was unimaginable.
"I've only recovered half of my cultivation level now, but oh well, that's enough." Jiang Jia chuckled self-deprecatingly.
Jiang Jia was already very satisfied with this. Not only had she recovered, but more importantly, she had found a great son-in-law. Thinking about this, Jiang Jia began to think about how to make Ye Nanxiao devoted to Jiang Nannan.
Ye Nanxiao is very outstanding. His appearance alone is enough to predict that he will attract many women in the future. Although it is not uncommon for powerful men to have multiple wives, if not handled properly, conflicts may break out. Back then, Jiang Jia was attacked and poisoned because of her involvement in worldly affairs.
Ye Nanxiao, who was meditating to recover his soul power, suddenly shivered.
Jiang Nannan didn't wake up until evening, and when she woke up, she found Ye Nanxiao asleep next to her bed.
It wasn't that Ye Nanxiao wanted to act, but he was just too tired. After breaking through his physical limit once, he quickly reached the threshold of the second limit. Originally, Xue Di wanted Ye Nanxiao to continue meditating, but after Ye Nanxiao recovered a little bit of his soul power through meditation, he immediately ran to Jiang Nannan's room to take care of her.
Seeing that Jiang Nannan was still asleep and in good health, Ye Nanxiao completely relaxed. A wave of drowsiness washed over him, and he fell asleep right next to Jiang Nannan's bed.
Seeing that Ye Nanxiao was sleeping soundly, Xue Di couldn't bear to wake him. Ye Nanxiao was only twelve years old and just a child. Thinking of this, Xue Di silently tidied up and expanded Ye Nanxiao's spiritual sea within her spiritual sea. After breaking through one limit, Ye Nanxiao's spiritual sea expanded by about twice its original size.
"Nannan, dinner's ready." Jiang Jia's voice came from outside the room. Jiang Nannan responded subconsciously, but then froze, large tears streaming down her face. "Mom?" Jiang Nannan called out.
Jiang Jia entered Jiang Nannan's room, walked up to Jiang Nannan, and smiled as she wiped away Jiang Nannan's tears. "Silly child, why are you crying? Mom is here."
Jiang Nannan cried even harder, her sobs waking Ye Nanxiao. Still groggy, Ye Nanxiao looked up and saw Jiang Nannan crying. He immediately crawled to her side, saying, "Nannan, don't cry. What's wrong? Who bullied you? I'll go beat them to death!"
In her frantic attempt to wipe away Jiang Nannan's tears, she realized that Jiang Jia was right in front of her. Her outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and she awkwardly said, "Um, good morning."
An awkward atmosphere ensued. Jiang Jia smiled, pointed at Jiang Nannan, and then walked out, closing the door behind her. "Remember to come out for dinner later."
After Jiang Jia left, Jiang Nannan finally had the courage to rush into Ye Nanxiao's arms and hug him tightly around the waist.
"Thank you!" Jiang Nannan said.
Stroking Jiang Nannan's golden hair and holding the beauty in his arms, Ye Nanxiao suddenly realized that the world he was in was real, not a game, and that death was not a way to return to the original world.
He had always lived with the mindset of a game world, occasionally playing Snow Wolf King, bickering with Snow Empress, and taking a nonchalant attitude towards things.
After living in the Jiang family for a while, Ye Nanxiao finally faced the world squarely. Whether it was Jiang Nannan, Jiang Jia, or the people in the town, they were all flesh and blood, with their own thoughts, and were vibrant lives. He had truly entered this world.
Having figured this out, Ye Nanxiao suddenly felt enlightened, as if a layer of fog that had been troubling his heart had been dispelled. A profound and mysterious feeling welled up in his heart, and his soul power unconsciously began to circulate, and his spiritual sea began to expand.
Sensing the fluctuations in soul power, Jiang Nannan looked up and asked with concern, "What's wrong, Xiao?"
Looking at Jiang Nannan, whose eyes still had tears in them, Ye Nanxiao cupped her pretty face and kissed her. This time, although Jiang Nannan's face was flushed, she tightly hugged Ye Nanxiao's waist with her hands and leaned forward a little, as if she was offering herself up willingly.
Although Ye Nanxiao had never been in a relationship, he had a considerable amount of theoretical knowledge.
The air was filled with Jiang Nannan's faint fragrance, which made Ye Nanxiao unable to resist becoming intoxicated. Jiang Nannan kept her eyes tightly closed and responded to Ye Nanxiao cautiously. This invasion ended with Jiang Nannan unable to hold back her shyness. Ye Nanxiao licked his lips and said softly, "Delicious. I'll take care of you from now on."
Jiang Nannan blushed to the roots of her neck and buried her pretty face in Ye Nanxiao's chest, gently pounding him with her small hands, though it was more like tickling.
However, Jiang Jia waited anxiously for the two of them, her stomach growling again and again, and she cursed Ye Nanxiao countless times in her heart as she waited in vain.
"Ah Xiao".
"I am here!"
"Ah Xiao, you bad guy."
"Be your bad guy."
"It's a deal, you'll be my bad guy." Jiang Nannan raised her head, her big eyes staring straight at Ye Nanxiao, waiting for his answer.
"Of course." Ye Nanxiao gently kissed Jiang Nannan's forehead, then took her hand and walked out.
The unreasonable parts have been corrected!
