419. Chapter 419: The Gift Meng Huo Gives to Su Chen

Youji Nuhuang's expression was complex; for a moment, she actually did not know what mindset to use to face him.

After all, before this, she had never imagined that she would conceive a child.

Even more so... and it was the child of her enemy.

"Regarding the matter of the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor, I already know; we are destined to have no further contact for the rest of our lives."

Su Chen's voice was gentle, yet the words he spoke were beyond doubt, immediately making his stance clear.

Youji Nuhuang could not help but stroke her lower abdomen, beginning to ponder.

"You wouldn't be so heartless as to let your own child have no father, would you?" Su Chen changed his tone, looking at Youji Nuhuang with a burning gaze.

If it were before, Youji Nuhuang would certainly have disdained this.

But now, for some reason, perhaps because of the bond of blood, Youji Nuhuang actually could not bear to cast her aside.

This thought process was undoubtedly long, and Su Chen did not speak either, quietly waiting for Youji Nuhuang to make her own decision.

It seemed as long as a century had passed before Youji Nuhuang finally raised her head, looking at Su Chen with a firm expression, her voice resolute: "You were originally the first man to see the true face beneath my appearance, and furthermore, now that you and I already have a blood bond..."

She paused for a long time, only feeling as if her face were burning like fire.

Su Chen listened quietly, not interjecting.

"I am willing to stay by your side, but if you are not good to the child, I will definitely not let you off!"

Youji Nuhuang's eyes turned fierce, a hint of killing intent in her beautiful eyes, "Even if it means death, I will fight you to the bitter end!"

Su Chen curled his lips into a smile, knowing this matter was settled.

He said: "That is only natural; if I have done anything to wrong you, you may hold me solely responsible."

Youji Nuhuang gave a cold snort and turned to the side, not looking at Su Chen.

Su Chen was not in a hurry; now that the hardest hurdle had been passed, the subsequent matters would naturally fall into place.

"Rest well; after all, you were very tired yesterday," Su Chen said softly.

Youji Nuhuang's small face flushed red, instantly recalling the absurdity of last night.

Su Chen revealed a mischievous smile.

It was just that there was serious business now, and he was not immersed in beauty.

He settled Youji Nuhuang down before going out, and before he had walked many steps, he saw the worried-looking Ziwei Xianzi and Yi Zhuyue.

After all, Ziwei Xianzi understood Youji Nuhuang's personality very well; she was inherently extreme, and if she had a moment of despair and did something wrong, the loss would outweigh the gain.

Now, seeing Su Chen walk out looking refreshed, they knew that the matter was likely settled.

"Youji is still resting inside; if you miss her, go in and see her to catch up. I am going to discuss some important matters with Meng Huo first," Su Chen said slowly.

"Remember to be careful; we will go see Youji." Yi Zhuyue nodded, and after walking a few steps with Ziwei Xianzi, she added a worried instruction.

Su Chen nodded, then went to find Meng Huo.

At that time, Meng Huo was refreshed, having finally resolved the Sea Clan's major threat. As soon as he saw Su Chen arrive, he stepped forward quickly, hastening to welcome Su Chen.

"Benefactor, you have finally come; you are now our great hero!"

Meng Huo said with an excited expression, nearly kneeling before him on the spot.

He was accompanied by Hua Gudu and Meng Yong; having gone through the battle with Youji Nuhuang, they could be considered to have gained from misfortune, recognizing their own hearts, and were now in a state of deep affection.

Their hands were tightly clasped together, and they looked at Su Chen with gratitude, as if Su Chen were the matchmaker of the age. Seeing Su Chen sit down, Hua Gudu stepped forward quickly and fell to her knees with a thud.

"Benefactor, thanks to you saving our lives back then; if he had died, I would definitely have followed him."

Hua Gudu's eyes were earnest, carrying a strong sense of gratitude.

Meng Yong also stepped forward quickly and knelt beside Hua Gudu: "Thank you, my lord; in the future, we will certainly go through fire and water for you without hesitation!"

Meng Huo looked at the two of them, only nodding lightly with a smile on his face.

The burden that had long been weighing on his heart was finally lightened, and Meng Huo seemed to have grown ten years younger.

"It is nothing; we are both Human, and at critical moments, we must be united as one."

Su Chen was actually a bit embarrassed, seeing such obvious goodwill for the first time.

He stepped forward quickly to help them up, but the two refused to rise; it took much persuasion from Su Chen before he finally helped them up.

"By the way, since Benefactor is here today, I shall take you to the Shengdi of our Barbarian tribe."

The smile on Meng Huo's face could not be contained, and he had made up his mind.

Although Su Chen was not one of their Barbarian people, in Meng Huo's eyes, Su Chen's status was more important than anyone else's; he was simply a savior.

This piqued Su Chen's interest; after all, the Barbarian tribe seemed very weak, yet they had been able to contend with the Sea Clan for so many years, so they must have had some extraordinary qualities.

Thinking of this, Su Chen nodded, but going to the Shengdi was a solemn matter after all, and Meng Huo still had many things to prepare, so the two agreed to go in the afternoon.

"This Shengdi is exceptionally sacred to us; Barbarian people rarely go there, and almost only the leader and Human people with great meritorious service can go. For thousands of years, outsiders have been forbidden from entering."

When Meng Huo said this, he showed a troubled expression, glancing cautiously at Su Chen.

Although he knew that the people around Su Chen had also contributed greatly, the ancient teachings were set in stone, and Meng Huo was caught in a dilemma.

After hearing this, Su Chen did not make things difficult for Meng Huo.

He said: "It is fine; I will go alone this afternoon, and I naturally will not make things difficult for you."

Meng Huo felt a bit embarrassed in his heart, as Su Chen and those around him had done so much for them.

"It is fine, Leader Meng; since the ancestral teachings stipulate it, there must be a reason for them."

Seeing Meng Huo's poor complexion, Su Chen could not help but speak to comfort him.

"Even so, it still makes me feel bad."

Meng Huo could not help but sigh, then suddenly remembered something and took a crystal-clear crystal stone from his sleeve.

"If I am not mistaken, that Lady Natasha should be of the Mermaid Race."

As Meng Huo spoke, he handed the crystal stone in his hand to Su Chen.

Su Chen took the crystal, examined it closely, and saw it was crystal clear and translucent, with a deep blue color throughout; even inside the somewhat dim tent, it still emitted a faint, ghostly glow.

The Spiritual Power contained within was extremely rich, and even someone like Su Chen, who had seen many treasures, could not help but offer a word of praise upon seeing it.

The Spiritual Power of this Spirit Stone was quite unique, as if one were deep within the ocean, tranquil and distant.

"This is..."

Su Chen looked at Meng Huo with some curiosity.

Before this, he had not mentioned that Natasha was of the Mermaid Race; ever since Natasha successfully transformed, she had almost no characteristics of the Mermaid Race left. (End of chapter)
