Chapter 298: Why Not Make Him the Patriarch?
Chapter 298: Why Not Make Him the Patriarch?
Time rewinds to the moment when the Poisonous Heartwood's aura burst forth from Xiao Qing's body, marking her advancement.
Darkness.
The deepest part of the Rong family's residence.
In the outskirts of Beihan City, the Rong family's mansion occupies an area akin to a small town, and beneath it lies a hidden underground space.
A swirling vortex of space blooms with a verdant green light.
The Five Saints Mystic Realm, the Rong family's secret trump card and greatest foundation.
It has been the Rong family's most significant reliance, passed down through generations.
Of course, in the past, many powerful families possessed similar foundations.
However, there's no need for further explanation. Among the remaining families in Dragon Country, the Rong family's Five Saints Mystic Realm is undoubtedly impressive.
At this very moment, in the dark place where the secret realm is located, a pair of orange-green eyes slowly open.
An inverted triangle-shaped gaze filled with confusion.
Subsequently, the owner of this gaze, a snake, slowly emerges from the darkness in a peculiar swaying posture.
It's a snake!
But there's something different about it.
At this moment, this snake has two horns on its head.
They are not the antlers of the Divine Dragon Clan, but more like the spiral, pointed horns of the Giant Dragon Clan.
However, both of these horns are currently broken from the head.
One long and one short, they exude an indescribable sense of tragedy, yet the snake's aura shows no signs of injury.
Even the teal-green scales have a white streak running from its abdomen to the tip of its tail. Its body length is approximately ten meters, and its thickness is no more than that of a water barrel.
This size is already quite impressive.
However, in a world where various types of pets exist, the potential of snakes with this body size is immense. Snakes over a hundred meters or even larger are not uncommon.
Such a size is insignificant in the eyes of many.
If someone were to say that this snake has reached the Spirit Saint rank, no one would believe it! But this is the truth.
The green snake slowly crawls out of the darkness.
This is a crypt-like ancient shrine.
It is the Rong family's absolute core.
The green snake climbs up the steps from the darkness, facing the spring sunlight. Its orange-green inverted triangle eyes gaze towards the distance.
At this moment, the green snake senses that in the Rong family, not far away, a certain aura suddenly appears, attracting it.
As the core of the Rong family, Rong Bao, the current patriarch, is naturally very aware of the slightest changes within the family.
Therefore, as the green snake's body slowly emerges from the crypt, it leaves a trail on the ground as if it had been scorched, and a figure appears before the crypt's staircase.
It is none other than Su Ping's cheap grandfather, Rong Bao:
"Snake Ancestor, why have you left the ancestral temple?"
The green snake glances at this contemporary patriarch, who is also a descendant of its former master.
This snake, which can be called Rong Bao's grandfather, tilts its head towards a direction:
"Is there something happening in the Rong family recently?"
The Snake Ancestor's human-like speech doesn't surprise Rong Bao at all.
Most Spirit Saint rank pets have wisdom that is no less than that of humans. As long as they want to learn, they can master human language within a certain period.
As the guardian of the Rong family, the Snake Ancestor is a powerful pet that has survived for over a century, using special means to continue existing even after the death of its Beastmaster. It is the true guardian deity and totem of the Rong family for over a hundred years.
In response to the Snake Ancestor's inquiry, Rong Bao naturally doesn't hide anything:
"Snake Ancestor, there's nothing major happening. It's just that the son of my late daughter, my only grandson, has returned to the Rong family."
"Your daughter? Is it Xiao Chun? Her son is already so big?"
A hint of reminiscence flashes through the ancient snake's eyes.
The Snake Ancestor clearly remembers the people of the previous generation. Even when mentioning Xiao Chun, the snake sighs:
"What a pity, Xiao Chun's death was truly unfortunate. It's a shame that she was born in this generation, not having obtained the Five Holy Eggs."
However, soon after, the Snake Ancestor turns its head towards Rong Bao with a puzzled expression:
"Your grandson, returning to the Rong family at this time..."
Rong Bao takes a sip of his tea and smiles, his aged face showing a hint of joy:
"That's right, I want to give one of the Five Holy Eggs that appeared in this generation to Su Ping."
The Snake Ancestor turns its head towards Rong Bao with a doubtful expression:
"Rong Bao, I remember that you are not so confused person?"
Rong Bao doesn't mind the Snake Ancestor's familiar address and smiles:
"The situation of the Rong family now, you understand it. In the past decade or so, Dragon Country's suppression of families has been unprecedented. It's much more difficult for family members to stand out in various industries.
Even more so, speaking of entering the higher echelons of the Dragon Nation, Su Ping has great potential, and Su Anyong also has great potential! Ghost Saint Leng Ao has high hopes for the two of them! Ghost Saint and the Wolf Saint of the Northwest are the biggest hawkish representatives in the Dragon Nation.
Future Su Ping and the current Su Anyong are very likely to have a much easier path in this aspect. They may even have a chance to take over a portion of such a political legacy.
Regarding Chun'er and Su Anyong's matter back then, I didn't say anything, because this Su Anyong is not bad, and although the family's relationship is clean, there are many points that can be uncovered! Of course, it's mainly because Chun'er herself likes him.
The biggest regret of the eldest daughter back then was the Five Holy Eggs. As a father, I don't have much power, but I also want to be willful for my deceased daughter once.
Old Snake glanced at Rong Bao, who was no longer the boyishly mature youth of the past but had transformed into a truly old man. In the end, he didn't continue speaking on this matter, only emitting a hissing sound from a snake python-type pet beast:
"Hiss, Little Chun's son seems pretty good, huh?"
Old Snake came back to his senses. Currently, the head of the Rong family is Rong Bao. This guardian deity is merely following the will of his master from back then.
As for the distribution of the Five Holy Eggs, it's fine if he says something about it.
But now, what interests it even more is that strange attraction.
Old Snake can feel that this attraction is right nearby.
However, it feels extremely abrupt at this moment, sensing the attraction of a breath.
Although it only appeared in a fleeting glance, it still made its heart waver.
So, Old Snake thought for a moment and said:
"Little Chun's son, why don't you take me to see him? I need to see the Five Holy Eggs given to an outsider before I can feel at ease."
"Yes..."
...
Even without Rong Mang speaking up, Rong Cheng, who had figured out everything, also came back to his senses.
He looked at the strange emerald-like mutated Forest Wolf in disbelief.
This thing is actually a mutated Toxic pet beast?
The correct version is available at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar
However, what makes him feel even more baffling is why this pet beast, which is only at the Overlord Third Tier, can resist the poison of the Corrupt Blood Mosquito that has reached the Overlord Peak, and even a single drop of blood can knock down the Bloodthirsty.
This doesn't make sense.
What kind of assistance did the family head give this guy?
What made this strange pet beast possible? Rong Cheng doesn't understand, but at this moment, there are more things he doesn't understand,
Including the medical beast tamer from the family medical team who rushed over, looking dazed as he cast multiple detoxification techniques on the Corrupt Blood Mosquito.
"Rong Cheng, the poison in the Corrupt Blood Mosquito is something I can't solve."
Indeed, at this very moment, the Corrupt Blood Mosquito that consumed Little Green's blood is not only poisoned.
Even the medical beast tamer from the medical team, who is most skilled in detoxification, using the Overlord Rank pet beast 'Evil-Repelling Sea Star' specialized in detoxification, is unable to restore it.
What should be done now?
Regarding the outcome of the beastmaster combat, there's no need to say more.
The Corrupt Blood Mosquito has been knocked down, and the one who tied the bell must untie it.
Su Ping was also speechless.
In fact, he seemed to have only just realized that he might have underestimated Little Green's combat abilities.
The power of this Toxic element was indeed astonishing.
Of course, it was likely because during this time, Little Green had been absorbing the mutated Green Demon Spring Grass, and as a result, there were some changes on its body that even the True Eye couldn't discern at the moment.
Although Su Ping had long wanted to discipline these remaining Rong Family disciples who had been wagging their tongues, he didn't intend to actually take the life of their Healing Beasts.
Thinking of this, Su Ping waved his hand at Little Green.
Little Green approached the Corrupt Blood Mosquito.
Then, the moment the Corrupt Blood Mosquito's body reached the 'Perfect Rank', the Toxic Heartwood was slowly activated by Little Green.
After reaching the Perfect Rank, not to mention the other effects, Little Green's attraction to the Toxic forces within a certain range around its body reached a meticulous level.
The Corrupt Blood Mosquito's body, covered in purple-green hues, gradually gathered together, becoming even more concentrated.
Then, from its body, the source of the poison seeped out once more.
As expected, the ultimate source of the poison was that drop of blood absorbed from the Forest Wolf.
However, this time, within that drop of blood,
the Toxic energy didn't fall with the blood but instead revealed its true form.
This was an incredibly tiny, hidden within the fresh blood, a strange purple-green flower.
Toxic Flower!
Having reached the Perfect Rank, the Toxic Flower could be condensed by Little Green through any medium, even its own blood.
Looking at the Toxic Flower that almost killed its Bloodthirsty, Rong Cheng subconsciously took a few steps back.
What kind of poison was this?
At the same time, the Corrupt Blood Mosquito finally woke up from its Bloodthirsty state.
Then, it saw the terrifying Forest Wolf squatting beside it.
The originally sinister and cunning hexagonal compound eyes instantly turned horrifying and fearful, buzzing as it hid behind Rong Cheng, avoiding him like a snake.
It was a Bloodline Healing Beast.
But if the opponent's Healing Beast's blood was also poisonous, how could it defeat it? So, the Corrupt Blood Mosquito hesitated and even reacted to the Forest Wolf saving it again, this giant poisonous mosquito showed no scruples, ignoring its master and flying towards Little Green once more,
buzzing as it approached Little Green, seemingly trying to please this giant Toxic King!
Su Ping calmly looked at the Corrupt Blood Mosquito and was about to ask if they should continue, perhaps with a group Beast Battle or something.
This kind of battle wasn't satisfying enough!
However, at this moment, a teal shadow transformed into a bolt of lightning, appearing in the center of the arena.
And all the Rong Family elders watching from afar were stunned, their eyes widening in surprise.
At this moment, most of the younger generation on the arena were filled with doubt.
The family head and the others naturally knew what was happening, but the younger generation didn't understand.
Some of the older generation who knew about it quickly ran over.
However, at this time, no one dared to disturb the sudden appearance of the Snake Ancestor.
They didn't understand why the Snake Ancestor appeared here. At the same time, after a few breaths, Rong Bao's figure appeared beside the teal shadow.
Su Ping was also stunned, and Little Green, who had been squatting there, was even more frightened, taking several steps back.
At this moment, the teal giant snake's gaze remained fixed on it.
Then, the teal giant snake said nothing, thought for a moment, and looked at the ground, where the strange remaining Toxic Flower was picked up by its mouth, and then, surprisingly, it swallowed it.
The old snake fell silent.
Then, looking at Little Green, although the strange attraction had weakened significantly, there was still a portion of it remaining.
But this was Su Ping's Healing Beast, and the old snake always felt a sense of comfort from this little wolf's body.
This feeling made it want to stay by this little wolf's side.
And after consuming the Toxic Flower and sensing Little Green's unique poison, the old snake suddenly spoke up in front of everyone, asking Rong Bao:
"Little Bao, why don't you ask your grandson if he's willing to stay in the Rong Family and inherit the family head position?"
