Chapter 330: 330. The Still-Charming Luo Shen

330. Chapter 330: The Still-Charming Luo Shen

Upon hearing that she could help Aoweisi, Natasha immediately realized that this was a daunting task.

The time for the steel bars to melt was very short; if the Universe Pearl could not be released in time, it would likely cause secondary injury to the Great Elder, and by then, it would be completely beyond saving.

Therefore, not the slightest mistake could be made.

"I will definitely do my best."

Natasha looked at Luo Shen firmly, her gaze already carrying a touch of seriousness.

"No need to be so nervous; just treat it with a calm heart."

Luo Shen could not help but comfort her in a soft voice.

After everything was arranged, Xiaoxian was the first to release his flames. After these days of cultivation, he could already skillfully control his fire; it was not large, ensuring it could burn the steel bars without harming Aoweisi's body.

Controlling the heat also meant a very long time, but everyone present did not show any signs of impatience and watched Xiaoxian very seriously.

Especially Natasha, whose beautiful eyes were fixed intently on the steel bars, waiting only for the moment they completely melted to summon the Universe Pearl.

"Now!"

Seeing that the timing was ripe, Luo Shen immediately gave the order decisively.

At the same time, Natasha immediately summoned the Universe Pearl.

A dazzling light instantly covered the entire room, so intense that everyone present was briefly blinded.

When their vision recovered, Natasha was panting heavily, beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down her forehead; she clutched her chest in great unease, carefully observing Aoweisi's every move.

Aoweisi sat up directly from the bed and tentatively took two steps. Although the wounds on his body were still aching faintly, he could clearly feel that those hard steel bars had already merged with his body.

He could not help but reveal a grateful smile and said to the people present: "That this old man can be reborn today is all thanks to you. I will never forget this life-saving grace; even if you asked me to climb a mountain of blades or descend into a sea of fire, I would not hesitate!"

As his voice fell, he was about to kneel on the ground to give everyone a heavy kowtow.

But he was held up by Su Chen with quick eyes and fast hands.

"If it weren't for you back then, there wouldn't be us today. If you really want to talk about it, we should be the ones thanking you."

Su Chen looked at Aoweisi very seriously and then continued, "No need to be so polite with me; we are all family. Otherwise, going back and forth like this would be so strange."

By the end, his tone was clearly very relaxed, carrying a hint of teasing.

Hearing this, Aoweisi stopped being overly modest and thanked Su Chen from the bottom of his heart.

"I will take you to see the Mermaid Race cubs. They kept pulling on me earlier asking where you had gone; now there is finally a chance to see them again."

Natasha looked at Aoweisi earnestly, her expression very gentle.

Among the entire Mermaid Race, Aoweisi was her last relative. Seeing that Aoweisi could survive and that there were still survivors of the Mermaid Race, Natasha felt she was the happiest person in the world.

Hearing this, the expression on Aoweisi's face stiffened, and he could not help but become nervous; his fists clenched subconsciously.

Natasha sensed that something was wrong with him; clearly, when he heard this news earlier, his reaction had not been like this.

Why had it become like this now? "What's wrong? If there is anything, just say it; no need to worry."

Natasha said.

"Among that group of merfolk, did you see a boy with black hair?" Aoweisi hesitated for a while before finally speaking cautiously.

One must know that there were not many boys treated as Blood Slaves; most were young and beautiful women, but Lanbo truly did not discriminate between men and women, and some good-looking men were also snatched away by him.

It was just that the status of those men was mostly low, and they were used to take care of the women.

They did indeed have an impression of one with black hair; there was indeed a boy whose hair was black, but he was very insecure, never dared to speak, and always just did his own thing.

He seemed isolated from the outside world, burying his head and focusing solely on his own tasks.

"There is indeed one, but I don't know if it's the one you're talking about."

Natasha recalled it carefully again and confirmed that the little boy with black hair was indeed of the Mermaid Race, and then she answered.

Hearing this, Aoweisi could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

"What's wrong? Does that little boy have something different about him?"

Seeing him like this, Su Chen's confusion grew even deeper, and he could not help but ask.

"You may not know, but that black-haired boy is my grandson. Hundreds of years ago, after my daughter and her husband left here, they disappeared without a trace. Decades ago, they suddenly sent back an infant, saying it was her child..."

By the time Aoweisi finished speaking, he seemed to have remembered some sad event.

Come to think of it, the Mermaid Race patriarch and he were both quite miserable; clearly father and daughter, yet both suffered the separation of their own flesh and blood, but fortunately, both had seen their own grandchildren.

Now that he knew that little boy was not dead, Aoweisi's heart was filled with emotion, and he was suddenly even more grateful to Su Chen and the others.

"So... that little boy is actually your grandson?"

Su Chen could not help but say, "And he would count as Natasha's younger brother."

Natasha was also dazed by this sudden news; she had thought she only had one last relative left, but she had not expected another one to suddenly pop up.

"That's right, if it is him, then it is."

Aoweisi nodded seriously, the expression on his face gradually becoming solemn.

Hearing this, Natasha was too shocked to speak and immediately wanted to go see that black-haired Mermaid Race cub.

"Great Elder, now that your wounds have just healed, be careful on the way. I have some Healing Sacred Medicine here; take it and use it first."

Su Chen looked at Natasha and Aoweisi with a smile, "Natasha, I'll trouble you to take the Great Elder there. I still have some things to discuss with Luo Shen."

"Okay."

Natasha's heart was also somewhat excited. When the Mermaid Race was exterminated, she had been in great pain.

But now that she knew she still had relatives existing in the world, and a small number of clansmen, it made her very content.

Natasha helped Aoweisi leave this place.

Only then did Luo Shen cast her gaze toward Su Chen. She lightly raised her eyebrows, as if asking what was the matter. Now that only the two of them were left, Luo Shen could not help but throw a little tantrum; thinking that the younger sisters behind her had all become Su Chen's women, while she was still nowhere in sight, she felt unbalanced.

They were just younger than her now; if one were to speak of it, she still possessed the charm of a mature woman, and she did not know what Su Chen found lacking in her. (End of chapter)
