Chapter 800 - 792: Enormous
Xiao Zhuo’s father’s leg had been seriously injured before, and he lay to the side, his entire body bound with ropes, seemingly unconscious.
Xiao Zhuo said to Mei Qingchen, "These are my parents."
"My father is heavily polluted, afraid of hurting my mother and me, so when he’s conscious, he ties himself up."
Even without consciousness, his father wanted to watch over him and his mother.
"Thank you, kind benefactor, for exchanging the Purification Elixir for me."
Xiao Zhuo was immensely grateful to Mei Qingchen and the others.
He knew very well that the fruits in his sack were unwanted by other stalls.
Even if set up as a stall, such things wouldn’t sell, let alone be exchanged for food or medicine.
He hadn’t expected the benefactor to genuinely be willing to exchange for the Purification Elixir.
"You should give your parents the Purification Elixir first."
Mei Qingchen understood why Su Muyao helped.
It was because they were Ice Wolf Beastmen.
His wife probably thought of Xiao Jihan.
Thinking of Xiao Jihan, Mei Qingchen sighed inwardly.
If he one day becomes the Beast God, perhaps someday he will also be initiated onto the Ascension Road.
If possible, he actually just wants to stay by his wife’s side.
Xiao Zhuo nodded and took the elixir to give it to his father first.
After Xiao Zhuo’s father took the Purification Elixir, the pollution’s black aura on his body visibly faded, the elixir taking effect.
Watching this scene, Xiao Zhuo was very excited.
He hurried to give the elixir to his mother.
But his mother, acting crazy, shook her head and laughed, "It’s useless, it’s useless, everything is useless..."
"Fake, it’s all fake..."
"No one can become a god... haha..."
"The Beast World is going to be destroyed... The Ice Wolf Clan has been annihilated..."
She muttered these words to herself.
It seemed like mad babbling, but a careful listen to each word sent chills to the heart.
Especially that sentence, unable to become a god.
What on earth does it mean?
Xiao Zhuo’s eyes reddened, teary-eyed he looked at his mother and said, "Mom, this is the Purification Elixir. Once you take it, you’ll be fine, really. Take it, and the polluted aura will disappear, you won’t mutate."
"Mom, look at me and dad, dad will recover too..."
Xiao Zhuo especially longed for the time when he was very young, back when the Ice Wolf Tribe was still there, his father was the hunting team’s captain, his mother the High Priest of the tribe, and they spent time with him when not busy.
Back then, his parents were so good to him.
But overnight, the Ice Wolf Tribe was annihilated.
He doesn’t even know what really happened.
Mei Qingchen watched Xiao Zhuo’s mother, his expression turning solemn.
"Xiao Zhuo, what do your mother’s words mean?"
Xiao Zhuo shook his head, saying, "I... I don’t know, my mother was previously the High Priest of the tribe, during sacrificial rites, she could communicate with the Holy Tree and knew things others didn’t."
"But now she’s insane, she babbles things incoherently."
Xiao Zhuo didn’t take his mother’s words seriously at all.
But Xiao Jihan thought otherwise.
He felt it was best if Xiao Zhuo’s mother could regain sanity.
Since she was the High Priest, she must know many things.
No matter how Xiao Zhuo coaxed his mother to take the Purification Elixir, she wouldn’t, running back and forth in the cave.
But she didn’t leave the cave.
At this moment, the polluted aura on Xiao Zhuo’s father, Xiao Shi, gradually dissipated, and he regained consciousness.
"Zhuo’er."
"Dad, you’re awake, that’s great, sob, dad... you’ve finally woken up, this elixir is so effective..."
"The benefactor saved us, dad, we must sincerely thank the benefactor..."
Overcome with emotion, Xiao Zhuo hugged his father and cried, recounting many events.
Since the pollution had worsened, his father was rarely conscious.
He thought his father would completely mutate and die in madness, but to his surprise, the situation turned around, and his father recovered.
Xiao Zhuo couldn’t be more overwhelmed, and he poured out everything.
Xiao Shi saw Mei Qingchen at the cave entrance, and at a glance, knew this person was extraordinary, but more than anything, he felt gratitude.
He wanted to get up and kneel to express his gratitude to Mei Qingchen.
But because he was bound, he couldn’t move.
Mei Qingchen helped untie the ropes binding him.
Xiao Shi hastily tried to kneel in gratitude to Mei Qingchen.
But Mei Qingchen stopped him and said, "It’s my wife’s elixir, and she’s willing to save you, so if you are to thank someone, thank her."
"I’m just running an errand for my wife; if not for her, I wouldn’t meddle."
"Still, right now, you should first give the elixir to your wife to take; her condition seems quite serious."
Looking at his wife’s state, Xiao Shi said with a sorrowful expression, "My wife was not like this before."
