The slave owner cheered loudly and couldn't wait to take the crystal after Song Jinqiao took it out, as if Song Jinqiao would regret it if he was a second late.

"Mother, they seem to be dying." Yasen grabbed Song Jinqiao's skirt, his face flushed with anxiety, his knuckles turned slightly white, and his voice was tinged with tears.

Ji Han and Cangye, who were closest to him, picked up the two cubs, and everyone quickly returned home and closed the door.

"Be good, you two wait outside for a while, okay?" Song Jinqiao said softly, touching their heads with a smile.

The two little guys nodded with red eyes, watching Song Jinqiao re-enter the house, praying in their hearts that everything would be safe.

Inside the room, Song Jinqiao took out the herbs and healing crystals that Mu needed, and stood by watching him work.

It was almost sunset when the two little guys' lives were finally saved. Yasen and Sophia breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the news.

Song Jinqiao and Bo Mu were cleaning up the mess at home when suddenly a mechanical system voice popped up in their minds.

[Ding, Mission: Resolve the Desert Temple situation, 1000 points.]

Song Jinqiao raised his eyebrows: "The Desert Temple is also connected to the Chosen One."

The system was silent for a moment, then said, "I forgot to tell you, the task triggering mechanism has changed since the last system upgrade."

"So, the quest trigger is no longer entirely related to the Chosen One?"

[That’s right.]

In other words, her workload has increased.

Forget it, the points given are a lot anyway.

However, when it comes to the mission trigger, although the system didn't give any prompts on the surface, the prompts had actually been there for a long time. When she rescued the two cubs, the mission came, and the breakthrough point of the mission was self-evident.

However, she did not trigger the mission on Thatcher's side. Could it be that Thatcher had nothing to do with the mission? But his reaction at that time was really suspicious. If he didn't know anything, he would not have reacted like that.

Although they weren't making much noise, Dafen was their neighbor and could see everything clearly. She came over and asked curiously, "Why did you buy two slave cubs?"

Even if you want to buy slaves, you should buy adult slaves. Buying a cub slave cannot work, cannot protect, and cannot have sex. Only males with special fetishes will buy cubs.

Could it be...

Dafen stared at the male in Song Jinqiao's house with a strange look.

Song Jinqiao: "..."

Even if she didn't say it, she could understand what was going on in her mind.

"Don't get me wrong, I bought those two cubs because I felt sorry for them being beaten and scolded." She made up an excuse.

Dafen suddenly realized and expressed her understanding, but she still advised earnestly: "These little cubs have become slaves. It's better not to waste the crystals. There are so many little cubs who have become slaves, and we don't have enough crystals to save them one by one."

Song Jinqiao smiled faintly and said nothing, neither agreeing nor refuting her words.

"By the way, didn't you say you were going to find Thatcher? Did you go find him?" Dafen was a carefree female and didn't care about these things. She quickly changed the subject.

Song Jinqiao nodded and said, "I've already gone to look for him."

Dafen immediately asked curiously, "How is he? Is he weird?"
