Chapter 958: A Political Marriage?
Of the two bloodlines within him, the Golden Mammoth bloodline held dominance, but it had almost perfectly fused with another bloodline—so seamlessly, in fact, that it bore a striking resemblance to Tang San's own transcendent bloodline. The only difference was that Tang San's fusion was a true integration of equal parts, while Ning Chen'en's had clearly taken the form of one bloodline devouring the other.
As it turned out, aside from the Golden Mammoth bloodline, Ning Chen'en also possessed the bloodline of the Adamant Nymph clan.
Well now... No wonder even the Golden Mammoth Demon Emperor didn't hesitate to take him as heir. This guy truly has the best of both worlds, the most formidable defensive bloodlines of both demons and nymphs. If there's a real juggernaut in this plane, it can only be him.
Ning Chen'en didn't seem to intend to hide anything. He turned toward Tang San and said, "Since I happened to run into you today, Clan Leader Jin, there's something I've always been curious about. I heard the Adamant Nymph Emperor was slain by the Ancestral Tree after offending it. Is that true? Sigh... To tell you the truth, I actually carry a bit of the Adamant Nymph clan's bloodline myself. My mother was one of the Emperor's illegitimate daughters."
Tang San had a hard time imagining how a rock could father children, legitimate or otherwise, but he wisely chose not to bring up the matter. From what Ning Chen'en said, the Adamant Nymph Emperor had been his maternal grandfather.
"I can't speak to the details. But we did discover large numbers of our people imprisoned and slaughtered within Adamant City, which enraged the Ancestral Tree. Its true body projection manifested, and what happened after that, I honestly don't understand very well myself. But yes, the Adamant Nymph Emperor was indeed slain by the Ancestral Tree. My condolences, Brother Ning."
Ning Chen'en simply shrugged. "No need for condolences. Even though I'm related to the Adamant Nymph Emperor by blood, I've never even met him. Actually, he kicked my mother out long ago. If anything, I'd say my father got a pretty sweet deal out of it."
Tang San didn't respond. So far as appearances went, it seemed that Ning Chen'en wasn't feeling much of a grudge over it. But who could say what he truly felt inside? Blood ties were still blood ties, after all.
"Alright, let's get back to the Throne of Frost. Can you really not give it up, Clan Leader Jin?" The Ice Dragon King Sun Honghao stared at Tang San with a cold expression on his face.
