With her spatial ability to raise beast husbands, the wicked female becomes the darling of the group

Chapter 238 Turnaround
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed, especially Xiao Jihan, whose face turned pale.

"What did you say? What exactly happened to the Xiao family?"

"That's impossible. If something happened, why didn't anyone notify me?"

Now that he has arrived in Beast King City, he can be notified promptly of any news from the Xiao family.

Unlike when he was in the Beiluo tribe, which was so remote and communication was not easy.

At this moment, everyone looked at the pale golden light emanating from Mei Qingchen and her sacred and mysterious aura, and considering the rumors about the Mei family, they couldn't help but believe Mei Qingchen's words.

Seeing Xiao Jihan's expression, Su Muyao asked anxiously, "Qingchen, what exactly happened to the Xiao family?"

What on earth happened to the Xiao family?

The Xiao family is not located in Beast Emperor City, but in Xiaozhou, which is adjacent to Beast Emperor City.

The Xiao family is a long-established and prominent family in Xiaozhou, which was named after them in history.

Mei Qingchen said, "The Xiao family is in turmoil, and the divination also shows that Old Madam Xiao's life force is very weak and her life is in danger."

"Grandmother, how could that be?"

Upon hearing these words, Xiao Jihan's face drained of color instantly, and he turned to head towards the Xiao family.

Su Muyao quickly stopped him, saying, "Wait a minute, I'll go with you."

Wen Nanxi replied without hesitation, "Together."

Shen Ci'an and Hua Linye both expressed their willingness to go with them to help the Xiao family.

Xiao Jihan instinctively listened to Su Muyao's words and didn't move even though he was anxious.

However, he felt that if the Xiao family was in danger, he couldn't let his wife take the risk.

But seeing his wife's earnest and persistent gaze, he understood her thoughts.

Once the wife has made a decision, she will not change it.

Xiao Jihan felt warm and touched, but also a little guilty, feeling that he hadn't been able to help his wife much and had instead made her busy with the affairs of his Xiao family.

Su Muyao quickly took out crystal cores from her spatial storage and said, "Also, we can't go rashly now. You should absorb these crystal cores first to improve your strength before going out."

"Once you've absorbed it, we'll head out immediately."

"These crystal cores were given to me by Qing Chen. Different colored crystal cores represent different superpowers."

As she spoke, Su Muyao gave Xiao Jihan and the others crystal cores with different energy attributes.

Wen Nanxi and the others all showed expressions of shock.

Even with their extensive experience, they were stunned and shocked at this moment.

Wen Nanxi instantly moved her finger, setting up a barrier around them, shielding them from view and preventing anyone from seeing or hearing anything inside.

Wen Nanxi touched the crystal core in her hand and finally felt a sense of reality.

"Crystal cores are something that only existed in ancient times, according to legend."

"Now, it's been too long since ancient times, so much of it has been lost."

"Moreover, many ancient records from the distant past have been lost."

If he hadn't been holding the crystal core in his hand, he would have found it hard to believe.

Moreover, it is a wind-type ability crystal core that suits him.

The key is that he has four, not just one.

It's easy to imagine how much his strength would increase after absorbing these crystal cores.

At this moment, Wen Nanxi could not remain calm.

However, he didn't ask any further questions, such as how the crystal cores were obtained. The Mei family was different from ordinary families, and naturally they had their own extraordinary methods.

Not only Wen Nanxi was shocked, but Hua Linye and the others were also just as shocked.

If Hua Linye hadn't awakened a portion of her ancestral memories, she wouldn't have known what a crystal core was.

"According to my awakened ancestral memories, ancient orcs used crystal cores to enhance their strength. Moreover, in ancient times, spiritual energy was abundant, and talented orcs had relatively high strength levels. Wild beasts also had a certain level of strength, unlike now, where reaching level nine is considered an expert."

"Moreover, there was no pollution, no dark aura, and no mutated beasts back then."

Of course, the orcs of ancient times were orcs of primitive society. They lived in caves and lived in different tribes of varying sizes, and there were wars between the tribes.

Back then, the Beast World had little civilization or culture, and most Beastmen wore animal skin clothing, unlike now, where there are all kinds of fabrics.

Xiao Jihan held the ice-elemental energy crystal core in his hand and looked at Mei Qingchen, saying, "Thank you." Mei Qingchen put away the divination tools and calmly replied, "No need to thank me, we're all family."

"With increased strength, I can better take care of my wife."

Wen Nanxi and the others felt quite uncomfortable seeing Mei Qingchen like this and hearing her speak in such a way.

"You're really different from before."

Her appearance and temperament have changed drastically; she is no longer the impulsive, impatient, and clueless Mei Qingchen she once was.

His eyes now gleam with extraordinary wisdom.

They speak with a completely different perspective.

Shen Ci'an was also stunned; he hadn't expected there to be energy crystal cores suitable for his cultivation and improvement.

He really should thank Mei Qingchen.

Su Muyao said, "Let's absorb the energy from the crystal core first."

Everyone nodded, then immediately sat down cross-legged and began to absorb the crystal core's special energy.

It's a pity there's no wood-elemental energy core, otherwise Su Muyao could have improved her strength.

However, she can stand by and protect everyone.

Soon, Wen Nanxi's light intensified, and his strength broke through to level eight.

Shen Ci'an has already reached level ten strength. In addition, as a vampire, the higher the level, the slower the strength improvement. Even so, he has directly progressed from the early stage of level ten to the middle stage of level ten, which is already a great improvement.

Hua Linye was already at level six before, but after absorbing several energy crystal cores, he broke through to level seven in one go.

This greatly excited Hua Linye.

After everyone else broke through and stabilized their strength, only Xiao Jihan continued to absorb energy crystals.

For some reason, he was absorbing the nutrients rather slowly.

They tidied themselves up and waited for Xiao Jihan. After Xiao Jihan broke through, they headed to the Xiao family.

Time passed slowly, and when Xiao Jihan broke through from level five to level six, everyone thought that was enough.

But unexpectedly, he broke through to level seven, breaking through two levels in a row.

Hua Linye exclaimed in surprise, "No way, why can we only break through one level, but he can break through two levels?"

Mei Qingchen explained, "Everyone's physique is different, their cultivation methods are different, and their strength is different, so the speed of improvement will also be different."

After Xiao Jihan broke through, they immediately set off. Su Muyao used a teleportation talisman to go directly to the Xiao family, so they arrived at the Xiao family mansion that evening.

Xiao Jihan led them quickly toward the Xiao family mansion.

When they arrived, they saw the Xiao family's servants carrying some white cloths, preparing to hang them on the trees and stone blocks at the entrance.

Xiao Jihan's heart sank suddenly. "What are you doing? Why are you hanging white cloths?"

"Since the patriarch has passed away, these must be hung up."

The servant looked at Xiao Jihan as he spoke, and only then did he see his face clearly. "Young Master Jihan?"

"Young Master Jihan, you're finally back."

“Young Master Jihan, the patriarch has been waiting for you to return, but... but the elders have ordered people to block the news, not to notify you, and not to let the news out.”

"The gate was only opened after the patriarch left."

The head of the household mentioned by the servants was naturally Madam Xiao, who was Xiao Jihan's maternal grandmother.

Upon hearing these words, Xiao Jihan felt a buzzing headache, his vision went black, and he almost fainted.

Mei Qingchen calculated with her fingers and said, "Old Madam Xiao is still breathing; she's not dead yet."

"Time is of the essence; the only turning point lies with the wife."

Su Muyao realized something and said to Xiao Jihan, "Quick, I'll take you inside to find your grandmother."

Xiao Jihan steadied himself and used his special ability to enter the house.

Just then, a number of experts leaped onto the rooftops, drew their bows, and aimed their arrows at Xiao Jihan and his companions, ready to fire at any moment.

A chilling frost appeared in Xiao Jihan's cold eyes. "What are you trying to do?"

　There will be an extra chapter this afternoon! I've been wanting to add more chapters for the past two days because I've been so touched by everyone's kindness and care.
