Chapter 408 - 409: Saved
Hai Qin didn’t take his words to heart. He shook his head weakly, "It’s all my carelessness. Before we set out, the priest had divined for me that I was going to face a major disaster, and warned me to be cautious. Yet I still fell for that damned fox’s trick!"
Xi Chen furrowed his eyebrows, "Father..."
Hai Qin held up his hand to stop Xi Chen’s words and continued, "You are the next leader of our Mermaid Clan. Don’t be swayed by other’s rumors. The priest has said that unless the Beast God descends, the poison in my body cannot be removed. If it wasn’t for my high Superpower Level that constantly suppresses the toxin in me, I’m afraid I would have been unable to hold on long ago."
Xi Chen opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted by Hai Qin again.
Xi Chen: "..."
"Even so, I can’t hold on for much longer. My only wish now is that you break through to Level 6 before I pass away. Only then can you protect our clan and shoulder the responsibility of the Mermaid Clan!"
Seeing Hai Qin’s speech finally come to an end, Xi Chen quickly interjected, "Father, I haven’t been swayed by rumors. I have personally seen a messenger from the Beast God; she may have a way to save you!"
Hai Qin cast a sideways glance at Xi Chen. In his heart, he secretly wondered whether his son had lost his mind from the pressure?
Xi Chen could tell that his father didn’t believe his words.
