BXBX NOVEL Chapter 82: Chapter 82: George
Nathan\'s frown deepened as he turned to look at Mark.
Mark gave a bitter smile, "Same for me."
"You\'re leaving?!" Nathan was taken aback. He thought they needed something from him but didn\'t expect such news. His eyes widened as he exclaimed, "Can you really abandon the family business of many years?"
"What else can we do? Wait for our demise?" Jerry downed a pot of wine in one gulp. "We can start over if we lose our property, but if we die, that\'s the end. After we leave, Blackwood must be cautious. Everything we leave behind, and all of Forest, will belong to Blackwood. I hope Blackwood will take good care of the people of Forest.
This place isn\'t our root; it\'s theirs."
Hearing this, Nathan saw their determination and had no words to persuade them otherwise. Now that his old friends were leaving, he could only focus on his grandson\'s wedding to distract himself.
At the wedding banquet, Thomas, who was only as tall as Dorothy\'s chest and wore a red veil, suddenly burst into tears.
The people of Blackwood frowned, wondering why a man was crying like this.
This towering man, looking pitifully aggrieved, shouted at his brothers and sisters, "Old man is really no good, don\'t believe him, you\'ll just follow in my footsteps!"
"He also said that if you pester a girl and tell her you\'re going to die tomorrow, you can win her over."
"It\'s all lies, I\'ve suffered so much this past year..."
"Finally, I met Dorothy!"
Julian, who was sitting in the distance, seemed to be laughing, but now his face gradually darkened, and he held his wine, unsure whether to drink it or put the glass down.
Finally, under the gaze of everyone at the banquet, he gritted his teeth and glared at the newlywed Thomas.
"Stop talking, don\'t fucking make me beat you on such a happy day!"
The banquet erupted in laughter.
Hearing her husband\'s complaints, Dorothy lifted her veil, revealing a face as delicate as a snow lotus, and then fiercely pinched Thomas\'s ear, "What did you say? You dare to flirt with other girls?"
"Ah!" Thomas grimaced, "No, that was the old man deceiving me, I definitely haven\'t now!"
The laughter filled the faces of everyone at Blackwood and the banquet guests.
Ethan, watching everything from behind the screen, saw the words \'The couple bows to each other, entering the bridal chamber\' light up, and his smile almost reached his ears.
"Congratulations, your descendant Thomas has married Dorothy!"
"Spiritual Tribute+100!"
And as the newlyweds entered the bridal chamber, the candlelight inside mingled with the moonlight outside.
"Your descendant Thomas enjoys his wedding night, proving that \'seven times in one night\' is not just a legend, surpassing the battles Thomas and Dorothy fought in Forest Town."
"At the crow of the rooster, Dorothy, the third-generation daughter-in-law of Blackwood, is carrying the Blackwood seed!"
"Real man indeed!" Ethan was ecstatic, as the \'Forebearer\'s Warmth\' was launched, piercing through the roof tiles directly into Thomas\'s room. Soon after, noises from inside startled the birds that had just perched on the trees outside.
The young couple quickly got dressed and started serving tea around Blackwood. Earlier, at the Forebearer\'s shrine, after Nathan and his wife had offered incense to their ancestor, they had just received tea from their grandson and his wife. Nathan, with a big smile on his face, paused for a moment before turning to Luna, "Daughter-in-law, our daughter-in-law... is pregnant!"
"What?" Both Thomas and his wife were stunned.
Having reached the mid-stage of Emerging Ability, one could see the vitality and blood of others, not to mention Nathan who was nearing the peak of his powers!
"So, it seems I\'m going to be a great-grandmother," Luna said, her face lighting up with joy. She quickly knelt before the Forebearer\'s cards, "Forebearer bless us, may our Blackwood family see four generations under one roof."
Afterward, the newlyweds were taken around by Nathan and his wife.
Especially when they reached the Silver Iron Forest and first encountered the Boar Monarch Pete, the new bride of Blackwood was so shocked that she couldn\'t adapt to the fact that her husband\'s family had a demon king, who now could dominate the region and was also her husband\'s maternal grandfather!
"Hahaha, I\'m a grandfather now! Who would have thought that I would enjoy the blessing of having many children and grandchildren." The Boar Monarch Pete of the Silver Iron Forest had been waking up laughing in his sleep for nearly twenty years since he had the Blackwood family as relatives.
Being a king of demons is very lonely. Despite the many exotic beasts in the Silver Iron Forest, none dare to misbehave due to bloodline suppression. Only the seven grandchildren from Blackwood could make this lonely old demon king smile every day, a feeling of openness he hadn\'t experienced in hundreds of years.
He never tired of these children and even wished for more, hoping to fill his valley with them.
...
[Blackwood Year 53]
[The two major families of Forest Town had been planning for a long time and quietly left their hometown with their clans. As they left, the heads of the two families looked back step by step, under the watchful eyes of everyone in Blackwood.
Jerry earnestly requested Blackwood to take good care of his granddaughter Dorothy and the unborn grandchild, gifting them top-grade psychic ability equipment—Heavenly Heart Jade Pendant.]
[Blackwood reciprocated by gifting the Martinez family 30 sets of Black Iron Beast Blood Armor, wishing the Martinez family success in their endeavors abroad.]
[Congratulations, your family has successfully taken control of Forest Town!]
[You have gained +1000 Spiritual Tribute!]
The people of Forest Town eventually left, just as they had said at the wedding, decisively. With this, Blackwood became the only major family in the vicinity of Forest Town.
This also meant that if people from Jubilee County continued to invade Forest Town, Blackwood would be the only target!
Yet another few months passed in this year.
Blackwood was even prepared to clash with the Cloudrise Oceanview Pavilion, but Forest Town did not encounter any major invasions. Only some petty thieves from Jubilee County tried their luck.
Until...
[Dorothy gave birth to a son after ten months, naming him George!]
[Congratulations, you have gained +50 Spiritual Tribute!]
[The child, born with the enlightened heart of a Demon King during pregnancy, has a Developing Skill that is gentle, protected by the power of the first layer of the Straight Death Coffin led by Nathan and his wife, and illuminated by the power of the blood pills accumulated over many years from the eighth-grade blood psychic fruit tree.
The child, not yet born, coincidentally received a sword intent realized by Lucas, gaining a special trait—]
[Pure Psychic Body!]
[No threshold before Developing Skill, speed of cultivating psychic powers increased by 100%!]
"Wah~"
Inside the delivery room, the midwife, who had delivered for Blackwood at the age of thirty and was now nearly sixty, trembled as she handed the child to Nathan and his wife, even she could feel the extraordinariness of the child, murmuring, "Master, madam, our family\'s child..."
"Great-grandson George, he has the talent of a celestial being!" The people of Blackwood rejoiced, as they could all see the natural phenomena that occurred at George\'s birth, with psychic abilities gathering around!
Ethan, in front of the screen, also suddenly stood up, excitedly staring at the child in the game.
