144: A way to save Consort Shu

Inside the inn.

Bernal Marsault tremblingly and lovingly pushed aside the bangs of Shu Fei Ma Suo.

"How could this happen!"

His face was filled with sorrow and disbelief.

Why would his most beloved granddaughter, the most dazzling pearl of the Hobbit Clan, use the clan's secret technique to summon an ancestor now?

Didn't she know that her body could only possibly withstand the power of an ancestor descending upon her after reaching at least Level 100?

Forcibly summoning before Level 100 would result in the burning of her bone structure; lightly, her cultivation realm would drop, and severely, she would perish entirely.

Furthermore, summoning an ancestor was a one-time opportunity—it was the ultimate measure the Hobbit Clan had prepared to deal with the Thunder Sub-Dragon.

Now that Shu Fei Ma Suo had used the secret technique prematurely, how would they face the powerful Talos when the time came?

If he failed to elevate the Hobbit Clan to the level of a High Martial civilization, he would become a sinner of the Hobbit Clan!

"Knock! Knock! Knock!"

The door was knocked three times. Before Benal could speak, Huang Chen pushed the door open and walked in.

Benal suddenly stood up and looked at Huang Chen, a faint flame of rage burning in his eyes.

When he arrived in the room, he had already checked: Shu Fei Ma Suo's Cinnabar Mark was gone.

Everything that happened must have been related to the man before him.

"You are the leader of the Hobbit Clan?" Huang Chen said calmly, ignoring Benal's imminent outburst of anger.

"Who are you?" Benal squeezed the three words out from between his teeth.

"I am Shu Fei Ma Suo's husband!"

"Huang Chen of the Huaxia Clan."

"You're bull—" The word 'shit' seemed suddenly caught in Benal's throat, and his face flushed crimson. "You said... you are Huang Chen? That Huang Chen of the Huaxia Clan?"

"Yes!"

Huang Chen nodded and continued, "I will slowly explain the matter concerning Consort Shu to you later."

"Right now, the most important thing is to wake Consort Shu up! Do you know why Consort Shu is unconscious, and is there any way to save her?"

Huang Chen's reputation thoroughly shocked Benal.

Who in the entire Star Abyss didn't know the Huaxia Clan, and who didn't recognize Huang Chen?

In fact, the names Huaxia Clan and Huang Chen had long become the primary choice for auxiliary status among the various High Martial clans in the Star Abyss.

"Ch-Chairman Huang! I am Benal, the leader of the Hobbit Clan and Consort Shu's grandfather!"

Benal's anger quickly subsided. Although his gaze toward Huang Chen still held traces of dissatisfaction and hostility, his tone was considerably more respectful.

After all, the ultimate goal of their painstaking efforts to advance to a High Martial template was to become one of the auxiliary clans of the Huaxia Clan.

Huang Chen raised his hand, signaling Benal to sit, and said, "Clan Leader, there's no need to be so polite. I am Consort Shu's husband, just call me Xiao Chen!"

Hearing Huang Chen's words, Benal's face darkened slightly again.

My goddamn husband.

Although his granddaughter coupling with Huang Chen was definitely the best possible outcome for their Hobbit Clan.

Still, he felt as if they had been forcefully taken advantage of.

Benal coughed twice and gave an awkward laugh, "Then Xiao Chen, don't keep calling me 'Clan Leader'; it sounds too distant. You can call me Elder Bei."

Huang Chen nodded in agreement.

After all, respecting the elderly and cherishing the young has always been a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation.

Afterward, Benal recounted the reason for Shu Fei Ma Suo's unconsciousness to Huang Chen.

After explaining the reason, Benal frowned and added, "Logically speaking, Consort Shu is only Level 50. With her physique, forcibly summoning an ancestor should lead directly to death... but she is only unconscious now. I don't know what kind of fortuitous encounter she obtained!"

Hearing this, Huang Chen awkwardly rubbed his nose. He couldn't possibly tell Benal that Consort Shu had received an injection, greatly increasing her potential, which allowed her to withstand the power of their ancestor!

Huang Chen automatically skipped the topic of Consort Shu's fortuitous encounter and asked directly, "Then Elder Bei, does your clan have a secret method to wake Consort Shu up?"

Benal sighed, shook his head, and said, "After summoning the ancestor, the bone structure is damaged, and it can be reforged using the essence blood of the Golden Radiant Divine Dragon. However, given Consort Shu's current condition, she might not last until the Divine Dragon is born."

The Thunder Sub-Dragon Talos is an Level 80 Epic-grade Boss. Without the ancestral power suppressing it, they might not even be able to defeat it at Level 120.

The Hobbit Clan has remnants of records detailing how difficult it is to level up past Level 50. According to estimates, reaching Level 100 would take at least eight or nine years.

But Shu Fei Ma Suo's vitality is slowly draining away; she can probably only hold on for a year or two at most.

Hearing Benal's words, Huang Chen's eyes lit up, and he asked, "How long can Consort Shu hold on?"

"Two years at most!"

Just as Benal finished speaking, a huge five-colored dragon egg appeared right in front of him, giving him a fright.

After Huang Chen took out the five-colored heavenly dragon egg, he urgently asked, "The divine dragon egg only takes thirty days to hatch, but the golden splendor dragon egg has now evolved into a five-colored heavenly dragon egg. I just don't know if it can be used."

"What?"

Benal hadn't even had time to check the information on the giant egg when Huang Chen's words stunned him again.

"A Five... five-colored heavenly dragon egg!!"

He tremblingly stroked the five-colored giant egg, muttering, "It... it really is a five-colored heavenly dragon egg!!"

"Can it be used?" Huang Chen asked.

Hearing Huang Chen's words, Benal reluctantly withdrew his trembling hand and said, "Of course it can!"

The Five-Colored Heavenly Dragon is the Lord of Ten Thousand Dragons, possessing all Five Elements. If its essence blood can be used to reforge her bone structure, the effect would be far greater than using the essence blood of the Golden Radiant Divine Dragon.

Furthermore, their bloodline might even advance to the peak of the low-tier High Martial level.

Hearing Benal's words, Huang Chen finally put down a heavy weight in his heart and slowly said, "Then let us quietly await the birth of the Heavenly Dragon!"

Afterward, Huang Chen discussed some details of their mutual cooperation with Benal.

Regarding Benal's wish to assist the Huaxia Clan, Huang Chen stated that he would seriously consider it.

Additionally, Huang Chen gave Benal 100 sets of Level 45 Dark Gold Equipment, considering it the betrothal gift for Shu Fei Ma Suo.

Benal did not decline; this equipment was simply too important for them right now.

The best equipment in their entire clan was on Shu Fei Ma Suo, but even that was only Level 45 Gold equipment.

With these hundred sets of Dark Gold Equipment, the development speed of their entire clan would increase by several stages.

For the time being, Huang Chen did not go back to grinding Reputation; after all, whatever he earned alone was just a drop in the bucket.

Only when the people from the Forbidden City arrived would grinding Reputation with hundreds of thousands of people truly count.

Having nothing else to do, he used a Teleport to fly to the Wyvern Territory to grind monsters. Experience and equipment were secondary.

Primarily, he wanted to practice "Blood Battle in Eight Directions" using basic moves, and also collect more wyvern eggs.

Just imagining everyone in the Forbidden City having a Wyvern battle pet would be a spectacular sight.

Huang Chen chose the edge of the Dragon Burial Abyss as his teleportation landing spot.

Just as he landed, a familiar roar suddenly echoed from within the Dragon Burial Abyss.

"Talos?? It's still alive??"
