In the dense forest, three figures walked forward cautiously, as if they were afraid of disturbing the tranquility. Their steps were light and cautious, and every step was accompanied by vigilance against the unknown.

Finally, they stopped in front of a large rock. One of them, Chu Qian, had a look of doubt in her eyes and asked, "Luo Yu, are you sure there is Ning'er's scent here?"

It turns out that these three people are Chu Qian, Yun Yao and Nangong Luoyu. Chu Qian and Xiyue waited in Xia Mansion for more than half a month, but Ning Que never arrived, and Bai Ziyun disappeared strangely. But time waits for no one, Rong Rouxue decided to return to Piaomiao Xianzong to settle accounts with Xue Lian, while Chu Qian and Xiyue fell into the dilemma of looking for Xiao Ning.

Fortunately, Xiao Ding brought Nangong Luoyu with him, which brought a turn for the better. Before, a wisp of Xiao Ning's soul merged into Nangong Luoyu's body, but the soul alone could not determine Xiao Ning's specific whereabouts. Later, Xiao Ding used a treasure called the Inscription Stone that had been passed down from generation to generation in the Xiao family, which reacted with Xiao Ning's soul and successfully located Xiao Ning's position.

Nangong Luoyu observed the surroundings attentively, and the stone in her hand gradually emitted a faint light. She squatted down and put the stone close to the ground, and the light instantly became brighter. She shouted in surprise:

"Yes, it is here! The further down the stone is, the brighter the light becomes."

Chu Qian followed Nangong Luoyu's gaze and looked at the ground, then signaled Yun Yao and Nangong Luoyu to retreat. She took a deep breath, concentrated all her strength, and swung a punch, hitting the ground hard.

As her fist fell, the ground cracked instantly, and a huge deep pit appeared. Nangong Luoyu stared at the ground nervously, reminding the two to be careful, and then jumped into the deep pit without hesitation.

After entering the cave, they were surprised to find that even without torch lighting, they could still see clearly around them. The three began to carefully observe the surrounding environment. Suddenly, Chu Qian found food residue on the ground, and her voice was filled with excitement: "There are people living here!"

At the same time, the stone in Nangong Luoyu's hand began to flicker and gradually pointed in a direction. She followed the stone's guidance and came to a wall. On the wall, a deep hole suddenly appeared in front of her, and a faint light seemed to flicker in the depths of the hole.

She was full of excitement, as if she had discovered some shocking secret, and couldn't wait to tell the other two people the amazing news. Chu Qian hurriedly came to Nangong Luoyu's side, and the two stood side by side, looking at the mysterious cave entrance curiously.

At this moment, an extremely familiar feeling surged into Chu Qian's heart like a tide, coming continuously from her chest. It was as if it had met its master and was beating happily, conveying joy and excitement to Chu Qian.

Chu Qian's heart tightened, and she hurriedly walked into the cave. Yun Yao and Nangong Luoyu saw this, looked at each other, and followed without hesitation. The three of them continued to go deeper along the winding passage. The further they went, the brighter the light at the end became, like the bright stars in the night sky.

Finally, Chu Qian took the lead and stepped out of the cave. The scene in front of her stunned her instantly. It turned out that what appeared in front of her was an extremely warm little home. The space here was spacious, well-organized, and equipped with all kinds of living facilities.

Nangong Luoyu and Yunyao then stepped into the small house and were also deeply shocked by the warm scene inside. However, before they could come to their senses, a burst of playful noise suddenly came from one of the rooms.

All I heard was a clear and pleasant voice saying, "Master, please don't move. I'm helping you blow dry your hair!"

Then, another gentle and doting voice responded:

"Ning'er, after you finish playing, your master will give you a hug!"

When Chu Qian heard these two voices, her body trembled violently, and tears flowed down her eyes like a flood.

She didn't bother to wipe the tears from her face, and rushed into the room with staggering steps. She saw Xiao Ning blowing Bai Ziyun's hair seriously and attentively. When Xiao Ning noticed someone breaking in, he subconsciously raised his head and looked at the intruder, and the movement of his hands also stopped abruptly. The moment their eyes met, time seemed to freeze, and Xiao Ning's eyes fell directly on Chu Qian, unable to move away.

"Mother...Mother."

He stood up suddenly almost as a conditioned reflex, like a flash of lightning across the darkness, and instantly hugged Chu Qian's trembling body tightly.

At this time, Chu Qian had already cried her heart out, as if she wanted to vent all the pain and longing that had been pent up for a long time.

He stretched out his hand and gently stroked Xiao Ning's face, mumbling to himself as if in a dream:

"Ning'er, my Ning'er, I finally found you..."

This simple sentence was filled with endless affection and attachment, and it was repeated over and over again, as if only this could comfort the tortured heart. The whole house was filled with her sad sobs, which made people cry.

Bai Ziyun, who had been sitting quietly beside the bed, silently watched everything that happened in front of him. The uneasiness that had been faintly in his heart now grew and spread like wild weeds. He didn't know how to face such a situation, and could only stare blankly at the mother and son hugging and crying.

Time passed by, and it was unknown how long it had been before Chu Qian's heartbreaking cry finally stopped. She still gently stroked Xiao Ning's cheek with both hands, staring at the once familiar but now somewhat unfamiliar face in front of her. When she saw the hair on Xiao Ning's head that was no longer as white as snow, she couldn't help but scold loudly:

"You are such a madman! After so much time, why don't you come back to see your mother? At least send us a message! Is it true that you don't have me as your mother anymore?"

Hearing his mother's reproach, Xiao Ning's eyes instantly became moist, tears welling up in his eyes, as if they could fall at any time. His voice was choked with sobs, full of self-blame and guilt:

"I'm sorry, mother... I'm sorry for being unfilial and causing you to suffer. I didn't dare to come back because I was afraid that I would implicate you..."

Xiao Ning apologized and gently comforted Chu Qian. His hand gently patted Chu Qian's back, trying to make her feel at ease. However, Nangong Luoyu on the side cast his eyes on Bai Ziyun, full of doubts.

"Why didn't Bai Ziyun tell us where Xiao Ning is? Could it be..."

Nangong Luoyu pondered secretly, her eyes became deeper and deeper, as if she wanted to see Bai Ziyun's true thoughts through her appearance.

At this moment, Xiao Ning suddenly hurried forward happily, tightly held Bai Ziyun's hand, and said to Chu Qian excitedly:

"Mother, Master is pregnant!"

"What! Ziyun, you are pregnant?"
