The Strongest Son-in-Law: A God-Level Choices

"You stinky brat, what's with calling at this hour?"

His father's voice boomed through the phone.

"Eighty thousand."

"Nine Pies."

…

In the background, Ji Feng could hear the clatter of mahjong tiles. He knew his parents were probably playing with their neighbors.

"Dad, I need to tell you something," Ji Feng said.

He needed the household registration book to get married, so he had to tell them.

"What is it?" Ji Jun asked.

"You need to be mentally prepared," Ji Feng began.

"Don't worry. Your old man's heart is strong. Spit it out. Don't beat around the bush."

"You're going to be a grandfather," Ji Feng announced.

"What?"

"I said, you're going to be a grandpa."

Silence followed. Then, his father's voice returned, rapid-fire. "What? I'm going to be a grandfather? Which girl's belly did you knock up? How far along is she? When's the baby due?"

Ji Feng's mouth twitched. When's the baby due? He hadn't even thought that far ahead.

"She's not very far along," he replied.

On the other end of the line, Ji Feng's mother, Xia Ling, who'd been playing mahjong, snatched the phone from her husband. "Son, is this true? I'm going to be a grandma? Don't lie to me!"

"Mom, I'm serious. I'm getting the marriage certificate soon. I need the household registration book. Can you send it to me?" Ji Feng said.

"That's wonderful! We'll make sure the book gets to you, and we'll come see what our daughter-in-law looks like," Xia Ling said, overjoyed.

Their son, whom they'd raised for so long, had finally found someone. And not just someone, but someone who was carrying their grandchild! It was a double celebration!

"Mom, there's one more thing," Ji Feng said.

"What is it? Does the girl want a house? Don't worry. We have some savings. Buying a small apartment in Gimhae City shouldn't be a problem," Xia Ling said enthusiastically.

"No, it's… the marriage has a condition. I signed a contract. I'm going to be a live-in son-in-law," Ji Feng confessed.

Another silence. Then, Xia Ling's voice returned, this time a roar.

"What?! A live-in son-in-law?! You ungrateful brat! I worked my fingers to the bone raising you! You're our only child! You're going to be a live-in son-in-law?! Are you planning to abandon us? You have no conscience! That contract is not going to be signed!"

After Xia Ling's outburst, Ji Jun spoke. "You've really disappointed me, you stinky boy. A Ji family man, a live-in son-in-law? I don't agree to this marriage! Are you ashamed of your family or something? If you dare become a live-in son-in-law, I'll skin you alive!"

"The contract's already signed. I can't back out now. Besides, if I don't, your grandson will be raised by someone else," Ji Feng said.

"Neither is acceptable! You didn't even discuss something this important with us!" Ji Jun fumed.

Just as Ji Feng was about to reply, voices suddenly came through the phone.

"That car is a Rolls-Royce!"

"A luxury car like that in our small town?"

"8888! That license plate is amazing!"

"The car stopped. Someone's getting out. Xia Ling, it looks like they're coming to your house!"

Ji Jun and Xia Ling, still on the phone with Ji Feng, looked outside.

A Rolls-Royce with the license plate number 8888 was parked at their door. An old man emerged, followed by several young men in black suits. Seeing the old man, Ji Jun and Xia Ling's expressions changed drastically.

"You stinky boy, I have to go. I'll call you later," Ji Jun said, hanging up abruptly.

Beep.

Ji Feng was confused. He sensed his parents were hiding something from him.

"Oh well," he thought. "Let's see what goodies are in this newcomer gift package." He opened the system reward.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Rebirth Potion."

He stared at the crystal bottle filled with blue liquid. The instructions were simple: take it orally. Ji Feng was intrigued.

"Let's see if this really makes me reborn," he muttered, and downed the potion in one gulp.

It was tasteless. The liquid turned into a warm current flowing straight to his stomach.

Moments later, a sharp pain erupted, followed by a throbbing in his head. At the same time, a foul odor arose. He saw black stains all over his body—toxins, he realized.

Ji Feng rushed to the bathroom for a shower.

As he washed, he was astonished to discover his physique had drastically improved. He was still 1.8 meters tall, but his body was much stronger, his skin smoother than a woman's.

And his strength was incredible. He was now, in terms of fighting skills, easily on par with any special forces king.

"Wow, this is truly worthy of the name 'Reborn'," he marveled.

This improvement in physique and skill was exactly what he needed.

Even in a law-abiding society, a man needed this kind of strength.

Confidence surged through him. This was truly a rebirth. He was a completely different person than when he'd first arrived in this world.

Moreover, the potion had perfectly strengthened his entire body. He felt healthier than ever.

With such a body, what couldn't he achieve?
