Raising Beast Husbands with My Space — The Villainess Becomes a Beloved Favorite-Chapter 238: A Turning Point

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions changed, especially Xiao Jihan’s face turned pale.

"What did you say, what exactly happened to the Xiao Family?"

"That’s impossible. If something happened, why hasn’t anyone notified me?"

Now that he’s already in Beast Emperor City, any news from the Xiao Family can be sent to him in time.

Unlike when he was in the Beiluo Tribe, so remote and difficult to communicate.

At this moment, everyone looked at the faint golden light surrounding Mei Qingchen, along with that sacred and mysterious aura, and coupled with the rumors about the Mei Family, they couldn’t help but trust Mei Qingchen’s words.

Su Muyao looked at Xiao Jihan, urgently asking, "Qing Chen, what exactly happened to the Xiao Family?"

What on earth happened to the Xiao Family?

The Xiao Family is not in Beast Emperor City but in the Xiao State which neighbors it.

The Xiao Family is an old noble family in Xiao State, and Xiao State was historically named after the Xiao Family.

Mei Qingchen spoke, "The Xiao Family is in the midst of internal strife, and the signs also indicate that Old Madam Xiao is now very weak and in mortal danger."

"Grandmother, how is that possible."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jihan immediately lost all blood from his face and turned to rush to the Xiao Family.

Su Muyao hurriedly stopped him, saying, "Wait a moment, I’ll go with you."

Wen Nanxi didn’t hesitate, "Together."

Shen Ci’an and Hua Linye also expressed that they would go to the Xiao Family to help.

Xiao Jihan instinctively listened to Su Muyao, even though he was anxious, he didn’t move.

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 determined and earnest eyes, he understood her intentions.

What his wife decided on would not change.

Xiao Jihan felt both warm and moved, yet a bit guilty, feeling he hadn’t helped his wife much but had to let her be troubled with the Xiao Family’s matters.

Su Muyao quickly took out some crystal cores from her spatial storage and said, "Moreover, we cannot rashly set out now. You all should absorb these crystal cores first, increase your strength, and then depart."

"Once you’ve absorbed them, we’ll set off immediately."

"These crystal cores are from Qing Chen; different colored cores represent different superpowers."

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

Wen Nanxi and the others were stunned.

Even though they were well-informed, they were shocked at this moment.

Wen Nanxi quickly moved his fingers and set up a barrier around them, isolating them so no one outside could see or hear what was happening inside.

Touching the crystal core in his hand, Wen Nanxi felt a sense of reality.

"Crystal cores, they were only things of legend from ancient times."

"So much time has passed since ancient times that many things have been lost."

"And lots of ancient books from that time no longer exist."

If he weren’t holding a crystal core in his hand, he wouldn’t believe it.

Furthermore, it was a Wind Ability Crystal Core suitable for him.

The crucial point is, not only was there one, but he had four in his hand.

One could imagine how much his strength could increase after absorbing these crystal cores.

At this moment, Wen Nanxi couldn’t stay calm.

However, he didn’t ask much, didn’t ask how the crystal cores were acquired; the Mei Family was different from ordinary families, naturally having extraordinary means.

Not only Wen Nanxi but also Hua Linye and others were shocked.

If Hua Linye hadn’t awakened part of his ancestral memories, he wouldn’t have known about crystal cores either.

"According to the ancestral memories I’ve awakened, in ancient times, beastmen used crystal cores to enhance their strength, and during that era, spiritual energy was abundant, talented beastmen were of higher levels, and even beasts had certain strength levels, not like now, where reaching Level 9 makes someone a master."

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

Of course, the beastmen from ancient times were from primitive societies, all living in caves, surviving in tribes big and small, with wars amongst the tribes.

During that time, the Beast World had no civilization or culture, most beastmen wore beast skins, unlike now, where there’re all sorts of fabrics.

Holding an Ice Energy Crystal Core in his hand, Xiao Jihan looked at Mei Qingchen and said, "Thank you."

Mei Qingchen put away the divination equipment and calmly said, "No need to thank me, we are all family."

"Once one’s strength increases, they can better take care of their wife."

Seeing Mei Qingchen like this, and hearing him speak this way, Wen Nanxi and the others found it quite unusual.

"You’re really different from before."

His appearance and aura had undergone considerable changes, no longer the impulsive and naively talkative Mei Qingchen from before.

Now, his eyes were brimming with extraordinary wisdom.

The way he spoke had changed drastically.

Shen Ci’an had yet to recover, not expecting that there would be energy crystal cores suitable for him to cultivate and enhance his power.

He truly needed to thank Mei Qingchen.

Su Muyao said, "Everyone, start absorbing the crystal core energy."

Everyone nodded, then immediately sat cross-legged and began absorbing the superpower energy of the crystal cores.

Unfortunately, there were no Wood Energy Crystal Cores; otherwise, Su Muyao could have enhanced her strength too.

However, she could stand by and protect them.

Soon, the light around Wen Nanxi shone brilliantly, and his power directly advanced to Level 8.

Shen Ci’an was already at Level 10 power, and since he was from the Blood Clan, the higher the level, the slower the progress; nevertheless, he progressed from the early to mid-stage of Level 10, which was a significant advancement.

Hua Linye, who was already at Level 6, absorbed several energy crystal cores at once, rapidly advancing to Level 7.

This left Hua Linye utterly thrilled.

After stabilizing their power post-breakthroughs, it was only Xiao Jihan who continued to absorb energy from the crystal cores.

For some reason, he was absorbing at a slower pace.

They tidied up while waiting for Xiao Jihan; once he made his breakthrough, they would head to the Xiao Family.

Time slipped by, and after Xiao Jihan advanced from Level 5 to 6, everyone thought it was adequate.

Yet unexpectedly, he directly broke through to Level 7, advancing two levels at once.

Hua Linye exclaimed in surprise, "No way, why could we only break through one level, and he two?"

Mei Qingchen explained, "Every individual’s physique is different, their cultivation techniques vary, and the differences in strength, thus their rate of improvement will vary accordingly."

Once Xiao Jihan made his breakthrough, they set off at once; Su Muyao used a teleportation talisman to head directly to the Xiao Family, reaching the Xiao Family’s manor that very evening.

Xiao Jihan guided them swiftly towards the Xiao Family estate.

As they approached, they saw servants of the Xiao Family holding some white cloth, preparing to hang it on the trees and stone posts at the entrance.

Xiao Jihan felt a sudden chill in his heart, "What are you doing, why are you hanging white cloth?"

"The Family Head has passed, naturally, we have to hang these."

The servant spoke these words and looked at Xiao Jihan, only then recognizing him, "Young Master Ji Han?"

"Young Master Ji Han, you’re finally back."

"Young Master Ji Han, the Family Head had been waiting for your return, but... but the Clan Elders blocked the news, forbidding anyone to inform you, forbidding the news from spreading out."

"Now that the Family Head has passed, the gates have been opened."

The Family Head referred to by the servant was naturally Old Madam Xiao, Xiao Jihan’s biological grandmother.

Hearing this, Xiao Jihan felt his head buzzing painfully, his vision going black, almost fainting.

Mei Qingchen calculated quickly, saying, "Old Madam Xiao still has air, she’s not dead yet."

"Hurry, the only turning point lies with the wife."

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

Xiao Jihan steeled his mind, channeled his superpower, and entered the estate.

At this time, many experts suddenly leaped onto the eaves, nocking arrows in their bows aimed at Xiao Jihan and his companions, poised to shoot at any moment.

Xiao Jihan’s cold eyes filled with an icy chill, "What are you planning to do?"
