Beast Taming: the More the Better Chapter 677 - 307: Return to Jianghai! Birth of the Red Devil!_2
"A mere outsider dares to run wild in the Rong Family?"
"What? Not convinced?"
Su Ping glanced disdainfully at the old fellow.
He had never been one to bully others with his power, but if he did choose to use it, no one dared to ignore him.
Meeting Su Ping’s gaze, the elder’s face turned a pallid green.
Su Ping observed the posturing old fellow, who had made a big fuss but ultimately achieved nothing.
Su Ping himself didn’t care. He glanced around. Aside from his grandfather, a few of his younger cousins, Uncle Rong Xia, and Aunt Rong Qiu, it seemed nearly everyone else in the Rong Family had sided against him.
Far from being bothered, he even took the initiative to provoke them.
"Stop staring at me like that. As I said before, if anyone has a problem, just summon your Pet Beast and make a move. Senior Snake Ancestor, Grandfather, neither of you needs to interfere. I’d like to see who dares to make a move!"
There is a limit to what one can bear.
Some were enraged, wanting to summon their Pet Beasts. Even if they didn’t plan to attack directly, frightening this arrogant brat would be enough to show him that the Rong Family wasn’t a place where just anyone could act recklessly.
However, when Su Ping then took the Dragon Emblem, wreathed in golden Dragon Energy, from his Beast Taming Space and pinned it to his chest, a shock ran through them. It was as if a bucket of ice-cold water had been poured over not only the confrontational family members but even Rong Bao and the Snake Ancestor standing nearby, chilling them to the very bone.
Most people wouldn’t even recognize this item.
Even now, within the Rong Family, many of the younger generation looked puzzled at the golden emblem on Su Ping’s chest, failing to grasp its significance.
However, a portion of the Rong Family knew all too well what this emblem represented. Twenty years ago, someone wearing such an emblem had come to the Rong Family. That person had not only seized the ’Poison Saint’ title, which the Rong Family had held for centuries, but had also nearly brought about the family’s utter ruin.
This object represented the honor and status of the Dragon Nation, a true ’iron-clad credential’ and ’Death Exemption Token.’
Who would dare to make a move, especially after this emblem was displayed? The only consequence would be a charge of treason against the Dragon Nation.
But the question remained: how did Su Ping come to possess such an item?
Regardless, a bone-deep chill descended, silencing the entire Rong Family.
Su Ping glanced at these individuals. They had been restless ever since his grandfather announced his decision. Had Xing Chen not been by his side constantly, and had he not spent the majority of the past few days in Heavenly Mountain, who knew what underhanded schemes they might have hatched?
He wouldn’t be staying in the Rong Family for long and couldn’t be bothered with their petty squabbles. However, that didn’t mean he would tolerate them doing as they pleased.
Since they had dared to step out now, he naturally had to make a show of his authority.
Once no one dared to utter another word, Su Ping snorted coldly. He turned to the Snake Saint, who was observing with keen interest.
"Senior Snake Saint, according to Rong Family rules, does the individual approved by the Five Saints become the owner of the Eggs of the Five Saints, with the right to decide their disposal?"
The Snake Saint nodded. "Naturally. But rest assured, your entry into the Five Saints Secret Realms had my approval. The Rong Family will not cause any trouble. If anyone has objections, they can bring them to me."
The power of a Spirit Saint Level expert represented a clan’s peak combat strength and, concurrently, its highest authority in speech. At this moment, the Snake Ancestor also spoke, his words definitively settling the matter.
Su Ping also nodded. "In that case, I will keep the Egg of the Snake Saint. The other four Eggs of the Five Saints will go to Cousin Rong Mang, Cousin Rong Zhu, Cousin Rong Chan, and my aunt."
"Ah?" Rong Qiu, who was by his side, finally spoke up, seemingly a bit surprised that it concerned her as well. "Xiao Ping, Xiao Zhu and Chanchan aren’t of age yet, and they haven’t officially awakened. You know this..."
"It’s fine. It’s just a matter of a couple of years. Besides, what if my cousins are exceptionally gifted and awaken early?"
Rong Qiu rolled her eyes.
However, at this moment, her brother Rong Xia was somewhat at a loss.
"Su Ping, this doesn’t seem right..."
Rong Mang, Rong Chan, and Rong Zhu were his children. Rong Qiu had never married. With Su Ping giving three of the four Eggs of the Five Saints to his children, the favoritism was so blatant it was more than just a minor issue. It made even Rong Xia himself feel it was improper.
But Su Ping simply waved his hand, clearly unwilling to dwell on the matter.
"Consider it a gift from me, their older cousin, to my younger cousins. Alright, Senior Snake Ancestor, I’ll trouble you to bear witness. The distribution of the Eggs of the Five Saints is thus settled."
With those words, the four Eggs of the Five Saints that had riveted everyone’s attention appeared one by one on the altar, drawing every gaze.
