After several days of travel and exhaustion, followed by a hot shower and finishing up the tasks at hand, a wave of drowsiness suddenly hit.
Chu Chen didn’t resist and allowed the drowsiness to sweep over him.
After so ti had passed, a terrified scream suddenly echoed from the courtyard.
Awakened by the scream, Chu Chen hurriedly got up, looked out the window towards the courtyard, and found Mrs. Chu sitting on the ground, surrounded by scattered vegetables and various ats.
At this mont, Mrs. Chu was staring fearfully at the Shadow Golden Mantis.
Seeing this, Chu Chen secretly thought it was bad. He quickly opened the window and said, "Mom, this is the new mber of our family. It won’t harm you."
Mrs. Chu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but she was still too frightened, her legs weakened, and she couldn’t stand up imdiately.
Seeing this, Chu Chen imdiately leapt down from the third floor and quickly ca to Mrs. Chu’s side to help her up.
Chu Chen’s realm had already reached the Soul Master Level, and his physical condition had improved significantly, so this height was nothing to him, akin to an ordinary person jumping down a single step.
Upon seeing her son, Mrs. Chu gathered so strength and glared at Chu Chen, reproaching him, "You should have told in advance, it scared a lot."
Chu Chen responded with a laugh, "I bought so things when I ca back and completely forgot about it."
Mrs. Chu rubbed Chu Chen’s head and said, "Co on, let’s go ho, I’ll make you sothing delicious." Then she started to pick up the scattered vegetables.
Chu Chen promptly helped out.
"Later, tell your dad so he doesn’t get frightened too. Oh, how did you co across this Guardian Beast?"
"It’s not my Guardian Beast," Chu Chen blurted out.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chu’s expression suddenly changed. She grabbed Chu Chen and began dragging him outside.
"I’ll notify your dad right away, have him co back quickly to capture this Star Beast."
Chu Chen hurriedly stopped her, "Although it’s a Star Beast, it won’t harm us."
Mrs. Chu finally snapped out of her panic and looked at the Shadow Golden Mantis, anxiously asking, "What’s going on?"
"It’s a long story; let’s wait for Dad to get back, and I’ll tell you both then."
After Chu Chen’s repeated reassurance, Mrs. Chu finally cald down.
But as she passed by the Shadow Golden Mantis, she instinctively grabbed onto Chu Chen’s arm.
Only now did Chu Chen realize how strong his mother’s grip was.
Once back ho, Mrs. Chu breathed a long sigh of relief and confird multiple tis that the Shadow Golden Mantis posed no danger before heading into the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Mrs. Chu’s big reaction was normal, and the reasons could be broadly categorized into three points.
First, the appearance of the Shadow Golden Mantis was sowhat terrifying, especially its mouthparts, resembling an alien creature.
Second, the aura of the Shadow Golden Mantis was too powerful. The Lord Level aura was not sothing Mrs. Chu, at the Soul Warrior Level, could withstand.
Third, living in these turbulent tis, people had a natural fear of Star Beasts since many had witnessed too many people die at their hands.
Chu Chen dialed his father’s communicator and gave him a heads-up about the Shadow Golden Mantis, then washed his hands to help Mrs. Chu with dinner.
Having her son’s company, Mrs. Chu was extrely happy. Ever since her son awakened his Soul Power, she had less ti to see him.
She cherished this rare parent-child ti, even giving her son so cooking tips along the way.
But halfway through cooking, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Chu Chen hurriedly went to open the door and found that it was Ning Yan, wearing a neat suit, with a refreshed spirit, clearly doing well lately.
"Brother Chen, everything you asked for is here." As he said that, he handed over a Space Belt.
Chu Chen checked it and found an unknown small device, not much bigger than a thermoter.
Chu Chen took out the device and asked puzzled, "What’s this?"
Ning Yan quickly replied, "I noticed you bought so much Vitality Liquid, likely for so important use, so I took the liberty to buy a detector. It can asure the Life Energy content in the Vitality Liquid."
Chu Chen slapped his forehead and said, "Look at , I completely forgot about that. Thanks a lot this ti. Let know how much it costs in total, and I’ll pay you."
Ning Yan handed over a bill.
Upon checking, Chu Chen raised his eyebrows; all the items together totaled less than twenty million, much less than he expected.
Ning Yan seed to notice Chu Chen’s confusion and promptly explained, "Last ti during the city defense battle, the City Lord directly gave you ten thousand Contribution Points, and your contribution level has reached Level 3. You can buy items from the association at a 30% discount."
Chu Chen understood, recalling that during that ti the entire city was imrsed in grief, and having not bought things from the association, he had overlooked this matter.
However, ten thousand Contribution Points was quite high, possibly due to special consideration from Wang Haichuan.
After settling the paynt, Ning Yan departed.
Before Chu Chen could close the door, Father Chu coincidentally returned.
"Son, you’re back."
"Yes, I’m back," Chu Chen replied with a smile.
Father Chu, upon entering the courtyard, imdiately looked for the Shadow Golden Mantis.
Seeing the Shadow Golden Mantis, his expression changed slightly, his body seemingly acting on its own as he instinctively took a step back.
"Son, is this a Lord Level Star Beast?" Father Chu inquired with so uncertainty.
Chu Chen nodded and said, "Yes, it just broke through not long ago."
Father Chu displayed a shocked expression upon hearing this, but seeing that the Shadow Golden Mantis showed no intent of aggression, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Son, it won’t suddenly attack, will it?" Father Chu asked with concern.
Chu Chen smiled and said, "No, I’ll tell you about it later. Could you help inside first?"
Father Chu didn’t ask what kind of help and followed his son back inside.
Chu Chen ca to the living room on the first floor, and upon scanning it, he found an empty spot in the corner.
He took out an aquarium from the Spatial Ring.
Father Chu quickly stepped forward to help, muttering, "This son was raised well; he knows I like fish and even bought an aquarium."
Chu Chen awkwardly said, "Dad, this aquarium is for holding the egg."
"The egg?" Father Chu asked in shock.
Chu Chen didn’t explain and directly took out the Forbidden Celestial Dragon’s Beast Taming Egg.
Seeing this, Father Chu was shocked once again. He pointed at the huge egg and said, "This... Is this a Beast Taming Egg?"
Chu Chen nodded, "Of course."
"Where did you get this? Did you acquire it while training?"
Facing his father’s questioning, Chu Chen laughed and said, "Dad, I’ll explain everything later. For now, please help put it inside."
Father Chu suppressed his curiosity and quickly went up to help.
The Beast Taming Egg was extrely heavy, so putting it into the aquarium was no easy task.
After half an hour of fussing, they finally managed to place the Beast Taming Egg into the aquarium, followed by pouring the Vitality Liquid inside.
