Forced to Become a Son-in-law Living with Wife's Family

The night was very quiet.

The chirping of insects by the pool had all disappeared, for fear that their sounds would disturb the couple's happiness.

Huo Qingtong, the once aloof and dignified Saintess, was now weeping uncontrollably.

The glistening tears, like pearls from a broken string, rolled down and dampened her temples.

Her shoulders trembled slightly, and the suppressed sobs in her throat seemed like an invisible hand tightening around Hua Qiang's heart.

Seeing this, Hua Qiang felt heartbroken and reached out to carefully wipe away the tears on her cheeks.

He mumbled, "Beautiful lady, no, I should call you my wife now."

"My lady, what's wrong? Has something sad come to mind? Tell me about it."

Huo Qingtong seemed not to hear, turning her face away in a huff, immersed in her own grief, tears still streaming down her face.

The crying started as low sobs, gradually rising in pitch, as if trying to vent all the grievances and resentment in one go.

"My wife, don't cry. It breaks my heart to see you like this." Hua Qiang's voice was full of tenderness; he couldn't bear to see this woman so sad.

Huo Qingtong suddenly turned her head, her eyes, which were originally as clear as autumn water, were now filled with anger as she glared fiercely at Hua Qiang.

She bit her lower lip tightly with her pearly teeth until she left a row of shallow marks, then squeezed out a few words from between her teeth. "Get the hell out of here!"

Hua Qiang's heart tightened, and he subconsciously tried to get up, but after propping himself up halfway, he seemed to suddenly remember something and lay down again, with a somewhat ingratiating smile on his face.

"You, you lecherous scoundrel, what more do you want? Get up right now, you're hurting me!" Huo Qingtong was both angry and annoyed, and reached out to shove Hua Qiang.

The movement had a touch of brashness, but the posture was limited, and it was just a few futile waving in the air.

Hua Qiang chuckled awkwardly, "That lady, it's okay for Xiang to get back together, but you can't keep yelling at him to kill him, or he'll be terrified."

"You bastard, get down on your feet!"

"Then, my lady, if you swear you will never chase me again and will never lay a knife or gun on me, I will get up." Hua Qiang bargained, his eyes fixed on Huo Qingtong, not missing a single change in her expression.

"You!"

Huo Qingtong was so angry that her chest heaved violently. She wished she could bite this scoundrel to death. This man was simply too shameless.

But circumstances forced him to act against his will, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I swear I won't lay a hand on you!"

As he spoke, a cunning glint flashed in his eyes, like a shrewd fox, ready to make its move after careful planning.

Upon receiving this guarantee, Hua Qiang beamed with joy and happily got up, not forgetting to straighten his slightly disheveled clothes.

Huo Qingtong also sat up, gently smoothing out the wrinkles in her clothes with her jade-like hands, and then reached out to grasp the cold, gleaming Longsword beside her.

The carvings on the sword hilt pressed against her palm, but only added to her resolute determination.

Her eyes flashed coldly, and her long sword, Longsword as lightning and accompanied by a whooshing sound, thrust straight at Hua Qiang.

"Damn it! How can you be so uncivilized? You're going back on your word!"

Hua Qiang was so startled that his soul almost left his body. He instinctively lunged forward, looking just like a stray dog scrambling for food in the marketplace.

He rolled on the spot, just like a donkey rolling in the field. After getting up, he stood to the side, panting, his face full of fear, his eyes wide open, staring intently at the sword in Huo Qingtong's hand, as if it were a deadly death warrant.

"You... you just swore you wouldn't lay a knife or a gun on me!" Hua Qiang's voice rose several octaves, filled with disbelief and grievance.

Huo Qingtong gritted her teeth, but a hint of mockery flashed across her face.

"Yes, I swore I wouldn't lay a hand on you, but I'm wielding a sword now!"

"Take this! You lecherous scoundrel, I'm going to cut off your manhood and see if you dare to harm women again!"

Hua Qiang suddenly felt a chill in his lower body, and his legs clamped tightly together, as if his most vital parts were about to be brutally attacked.

His face was ashen, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

"My wife, let's not do this, okay?"

"You need to understand that I am now your husband and you are my wife. We are family. It's not good to hurt either of us."

"Besides, if you really cut off my thing, you'll lose your sexual happiness in the future."

"Pooh!"

Huo Qingtong was almost amused by his shameless words.

How could this bastard be so shameless?

The Longsword in her hand was still pointing at Hua Qiang, its tip trembling slightly, flashing a chilling light in the night.

Suddenly, a sinister smile flashed across her face as she said, "I'll stop chasing you, but you have to agree to one condition."

"Wife, let's speak more politely. Don't keep calling me 'old lady,' it makes people feel uncomfortable," Hua Qiang muttered under his breath, his eyes filled with resentment.

"Hmph! I told you I'd always be called 'Old Lady'! You took advantage of me, ruined my purity, and even stole my virginity. Can't I even call myself 'Old Lady'?" Huo Qingtong's Liu Mei shot up, her aura fierce.

"Okay, okay," Hua Qiang completely admitted defeat, his head drooping like a defeated rooster.

"My lady, please speak."

"My condition is..."

When Hua Qiang heard the change in address, he was secretly pleased, wondering if the woman's anger had subsided and her attitude had softened.

He hurriedly replied, "Please speak, my lady. I'll agree to ten conditions, not just one. After all, I'm your husband now."

"Hehe, I haven't officially acknowledged you as my husband yet. How about this, you marry into my family and become a live-in son-in-law, how about that?"

Huo Qingtong's lips curled into a smile as she stared at Hua Qiang, her eyes revealing an unwavering determination.

"What? A live-in son-in-law? You want me to be a live-in son-in-law?"

No, not even the Heavenly King himself could do that!

Hua Qiang shook his head vigorously, his face full of resistance.

He's a real man, and deep down he's quite the traditionalist; he couldn't stand such humiliation.

"Is that so? Then I'll hunt you down to the ends of the earth, and I swear I won't rest until I've killed you!"

Huo Qingtong Liu Mei an eyebrow, and with a "whoosh," she slashed her Longsword sword, the wind whistling and ruffling a few strands of her hair, adding to her chilling aura.

When Hua Qiang saw Huo Qingtong's fierce and menacing face, his arrogance instantly diminished, and he became timid.

He secretly recalled what had just happened. If he hadn't risked using that move, if they hadn't both been hit...

Wait a minute, no wonder there was a fragrance in the mist earlier. It seems that the two of them were bewitched by that fragrance.

But why is the fragrance gone now?

Hua Qiang was secretly grateful for the lingering fragrance. If it weren't for that, he really didn't know what would have happened to him.

After much deliberation, Hua Qiang gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and compromised, saying, "Fine, I'll be a live-in son-in-law. It's better than dying."

When Huo Qingtong saw that Hua Qiang had agreed to her request, the clouds on her face instantly cleared, and a charming smile bloomed on her tense face, just like the warm spring sun breaking through the ice and dispelling the chill around her.

"This kid is so handsome, although he's a bit lacking in practical skills, but he can be trained." Thinking this, she Longsword sheathed her longsword. The "clang" sound was crisp and melodious, as if it were the prelude to a different story.

"My lord, since you have agreed, then come with me." Huo Qingtong moved gracefully to Hua Qiang's side and reached out to pull him.

Hua Qiang instinctively pulled his hand away, but Huo Qingtong grabbed it tightly. Her fingers were slender yet strong, and she wouldn't let him break free.

"Don't worry, now that I've given you a title, I won't make things difficult for you anymore."

"But the journey is long and arduous, so stay close to me and don't cause any more trouble." Huo Qingtong's expression softened slightly, and her tone was gentle, but Hua Qiang sensed a hidden warning in her words and nodded hastily.
