Chapter 316: The Mother-in-Law Who Was Tricked

Cover the lid, directly set fire to burn, not allowing the mother-in-law to say another word.

This series of actions was too fast; Shang Hongxue couldn't react, let alone mother-in-law Jiang Luolan. After entering the Alchemy Furnace, the startled Jiang Luolan widened her eyes, asked her good son-in-law, then saw the lid close and the flames rapidly burn.

"Ah."

A miserable cry rang out, just like the father-in-law's miserable cry.

Chen Chuyang's Pill Fire burned the Alchemy Furnace; in less than a few breaths, the furnace was burned red-hot.

The temperature inside can be imagined, but Chen Chuyang slightly weakened it a bit, not letting the fire burn at full force, instead reducing it by ten percent, much weaker than for the father-in-law; this special treatment is in his actions, others do not receive such treatment.

Well, actually, it's controlled according to each person's physical condition and cultivation level, just hitting the limit; this limit is very hard to manage, but Chen Chuyang can manage it.

The mother-in-law's limit seems not yet reached; Chen Chuyang began increasing the firepower bit by bit. If something seemed slightly off, he would immediately weaken it, constantly watching the mother-in-law inside the Alchemy Furnace to ensure she wouldn't be burned to death by the flames.

Chen Chuyang did not intend to refine the mother-in-law into a pill; he simply removed impurities to help her break through her limit, for which he invested some spiritual herbs and blood to help her rebuild her body.

Bit by bit permeation, bit by bit change, unnoticed, the transformation was completed.

This step is very difficult and troublesome, requiring ultimate control; control over the fire must also reach an extremely outrageous level.

Probe the limit, then find the limit, and break through it bit by bit.

Having found the limit, Chen Chuyang exclaimed in surprise: 'I never expected the mother-in-law's limit to be much stronger than the father-in-law's; I underestimated the mother-in-law.'

His mother-in-law Jiang Luolan's strength is not bad, only slightly weaker than Shang Yingnian; at the True Gang Eightfold Heaven limit, she is a little distance from Condensing Pill, yet her limit is actually about the same as the father-in-law's, accurately speaking, even a bit stronger than the father-in-law.

Too unbelievable.

Slightly off from Chen Chuyang's estimate, this mother-in-law looks ordinary, yet she turns out to be a 'old six' hiding her strength like a tiger pretending to be a pig.

"The mother-in-law is very good at hiding; if she hadn't been thrown into the Alchemy Furnace, perhaps even I would have been deceived by her."

"Quite impressive, no wonder the father-in-law is so obedient; the mother-in-law is not simple."

In the Shang Clan, most decisions are made by the mother-in-law.

The father-in-law's authority in the Shang Clan is not as great as the mother-in-law's.

Previously Chen Chuyang thought it was the father-in-law being wife-controlled, but now he realizes it's not just that.

The mother-in-law's own strength is not bad; if she turns ruthless, even the father-in-law could suffer.

Unconsciously, Chen Chuyang glanced another look at Shang Hongxue.

Shang Hongxue whispered: 'Brother Chuyang, you treat my mother like this; aren't you afraid she'll come cause you trouble?'

That's her mother, just thrown in like that; it's too embarrassing.

A mother is not a father; it's not so easy to let Chen Chuyang off.

Chen Chuyang shrugged: 'It's fine, the mother-in-law understands the greater good; she won't do anything to me, you can rest assured.'

'I'm doing this for the mother-in-law's good, helping her transform her body; she should be grateful to me, not blame me.'

Shang Hongxue glanced at Chen Chuyang and said: 'My mother is different, Brother Chuyang; you're likely to suffer.'

One can offend anyone but not offend her mother; this is the shared consensus of the Shang Clan.

Offending father Shang Yingnian, you can still survive.

Offending the mother, sorry, not only you, but even your family will suffer as well.

Because when the time comes, the ones taking action will be her parents; the mother always pretends to be a kindly old person, but in reality, the most sinister is none other than her mother.

Those three siblings have certainly not lacked the mother's discipline.

The eldest sister has learned a bit from the mother, already this formidable; one can imagine how terrifying her mother is. Chen Chuyang doesn't understand, so he thinks that's like other mothers-in-law; her mother is different, very different, cannot be guessed by common sense.

'We'll talk about it later; worst case, I'll just run away.'

Shang Hongxue looked pityingly at Chen Chuyang and said: 'When the time comes, I'll help you block my mother.'

Hahaha.

Hearing that, Chen Chuyang laughed loudly.

He really likes this girl; he likes every aura she emits.

This girl does not waste his affection for her.

'By then, I'll need Miss Shang Hongxue to help me overcome all difficulties.'

Hehehe.

Shang Hongxue really likes being called 'adult'; she smiles all over her face.

Another day.

Inside the Alchemy Furnace there was no movement, only the miserable cries.

The painful miserable cries continued without cease; the mother-in-law's limit broke through again.

This, Chen Chuyang found astonishing; he didn't expect the mother-in-law to be so formidable, her endurance terrifyingly strong. Without refining, one wouldn't know; after refining, he learned why Shang Hongxue's endurance is so strong—she inherited her mother's strengths.

They truly are mother and daughter; many aspects are the same.

The temperature and pressure inside the Alchemy Furnace exceeded what the father-in-law endured and kept rising; Chen Chuyang gradually increased it, bit by bit raising the mother-in-law's limit, since she could endure it, he would not stop there.

The limit is constant breakthrough, constant improvement.

But one cannot stop because of pain and miserable cries.

Shang Hongxue sat beside, not worried at all; she trusted Chen Chuyang, who handles things very steadily, with no accidents.

On the contrary, after father Shang Yingnian finished adjusting his breath, his cultivation stabilized; he rose and began practicing fists.

The Overlord Fist is activated, moving with the wind.

Each punch looks ordinary, but actually contains terrifying energy; one punch can shatter a mountain peak.

The fist wind is terrifying, howling as it passes.

With the fist technique improved, he quickly grasped it; after breaking through, the father-in-law's Overlord Fist became different, gaining a kind of domineering aura.

It seems like the domineering aura of heavenly tribulation, very frightening.

Half an hour later.

Father-in-law finished his martial arts practice, and his entire aura shifted.

He became an ordinary person, all his qi and blood returning completely into his body.

He gained control of his own qi, blood, and body, as well as the energy after his advancement.

His cultivation was now firmly established.

Hahaha, Chuyang son-in-law, come, let's practice boxing.

After Shang Yingnian's advancement, his hands were itchy; he needed an opponent to sharpen his fist technique. His heart overflowing with heroic spirit, he had to give Chen Chuyang a taste of bitterness, letting this brat treat him thus.

Chen Chuyang glanced at his father-in-law and said calmly, "I'm not free right now."

Seeing his wife step into the alchemy furnace, Shang Yingnian was shocked.

His eyes locked onto Chen Chuyang, slowly lifting his hand and raising his thumb.

Son-in-law, you're formidable; your mother-in-law dares to refine pills—aren't you afraid she'll come after you?

His wife had actually been flung into the alchemy furnace.

She too could not escape this fate.

The cries of agony were oddly pleasant to hear.

Shang Yingnian admired Chen Chuyang in his heart; this son-in-law was genuinely brave, and only he would dare act thus.

On this basis, Shang Yingnian completely accepted Chen Chuyang as his son-in-law—doing what he himself dared not, and doing it excellently.

Son-in-law, why not add more fire? Your mother-in-law can handle it.

Shang Hongxue: "..." Holy shit, Father, you're playing with fire.

Chen Chuyang turned his head: "..." Father-in-law, what a huge gall—aren't you afraid of dying?
