Mu Bai hesitated for a moment and said, "I can't tell you that right now. I have nothing to repay you with. If you come to the Mu family to find me in the future, I will definitely repay the life-saving grace I received today."
This answer left Aju speechless, and she turned to look at Dongfang Mian.
"Are you looking for the Poison Mother?" Dongfang Mian asked.
"How did you know?!" Mu Bai blurted out, then quickly shut up as if he had revealed some incredible secret.
"I bet you secretly followed the Mu family's group here, right? What are you looking for the Poison Mother for? Do you want to kill someone?" Dongfang Mian asked, puzzled. She couldn't imagine what would cause a ten-year-old child to come to such a dangerous place to search for such an extremely ferocious creature as the Poison Mother.
"I'm not trying to kill anyone, I'm trying to save someone," Mu Bai said, then felt a pang of regret. Why couldn't he control his mouth?
“Save people? The Poison Mother can’t save people. The Poison Mother is the source of this poisonous land. She is extremely vicious and poisonous. Anyone who touches her will die. As for you, with the little bit of life-saving stuff you have, I guarantee you’ll be dead before you even see the Poison Mother,” Dongfang Mian said, shaking her head.
"How did you know? Are you the poison master recruited by the Shi family?" Mu Bai asked.
Dongfang Mian nodded. "I am the leader of the Shi family team this time, but don't worry, I don't have a good relationship with the Shi family. I can swear that every word I say is true."
Then Dongfang Mian took out her Emperor-level Poison Master badge to show him, "I'm an Emperor-level Poison Master, you know, I would never lie to a child."
Unexpectedly, after hearing Dongfang Mian's confident words, Mu Bai's face turned pale instantly, his body swayed, and he fell to the ground, bursting into tears.
"A-Mian, why did you make the child cry?" A-Ju said, feigning anger. Then she came to Mu-Bai's side, patted his head and said, "Good boy Mu-Bai, don't cry. Come on, tell your brother A-Ju what happened to you?"
Mu Bai stammered between sobs, "My...my mother is dying..."
"Stop crying, tell me what happened in detail. Have you seen Sister A-Mian? Let me tell you, she's not only an Emperor-level Poison Master, but also a super-powerful doctor. There's no patient she can't cure," A-Ju said confidently, pointing at Dongfang Mian.
"Really?" Mu Bai looked at Dongfang Mian, his eyes filled with despair but also a glimmer of hope.
"This..." Dongfang Mian didn't dare to be so absolute. Although the hydrotherapy had always been very effective, it wasn't 100% guaranteed.
“That’s right, she can definitely save your mother,” Yan Lin suddenly interjected.
"Don't look at me, I was just thinking about my poor son," Yan Lin said coldly when he saw Dongfang Mian looking at him.
This guy... Dongfang Mian was instantly speechless. What on earth is going on here?
Looking at Mu Bai again, Dongfang Mian had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Yes, don't worry, your sister will definitely cure your mother. Look, you were almost dead just now, but now you're all lively and energetic."
Mu Bai paused for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, then I believe you."
"Then tell me what happened quickly, brother loves listening to stories the most," Aju found a comfortable spot to sit down, pulled Ahua to her side, and looked like she was all ears.
Mu Bai was amused by him and seemed to let down her guard. Perhaps because she was really desperate, she sat cross-legged and slowly told the group her story.
As the story unfolded, Dongfang Mian and Yan Lin slowly sat down beside him, their eyes filled with tenderness as they looked at Mu Bai.
