After dealing with the poisonous mother, Dongfang Mian searched the room again. There was nothing else in the room except for the ant eggs. She guessed that these were the queen ant's treasures. Dongfang Mian did not destroy the ant eggs, but returned the way she came and found Aju and the others who were hiding.
"You're back so soon?!" Mu Bai said with admiration, having thought that Dongfang Mian was unlikely to return.
"Of course, who am I?" Dongfang Mian said casually. Mu Bai wanted to say something, but seeing Yan Lin and Aju's unsurprised expressions, he silently shut his mouth to avoid people saying that the young master of the Mu family was a country bumpkin in the future.
Seeing him like this, Aju kindly came over to comfort him, saying, "Little guy, don't be discouraged. It's not that you're naive; it's just that we've been too low-key."
"Look at that guy who's not very strong. If he revealed his true identity, you'd be scared out of your wits," Aju whispered to Mu Bai, pointing at Yan Lin.
Then he pointed to himself and said loudly, "As for me, I should give a special introduction. You know the Beast Realm, right? I am the leader of all the divine beasts in the Beast Realm. All the beasts bow down and call me the Alliance Master."
Unable to bear hearing this, Mu Bai asked speechlessly, "Excuse me, why choose a little tiger like you as the alliance leader? Are those divine beasts out of their minds?"
"What do you mean 'little tiger'?! I am of ancient bloodline, the highest ancestor of the Crimson-Striped Divine Tiger clan, okay?" Aju said with dissatisfaction.
After he regained his full strength, his body underwent some slight changes. He looked about the same age as Ah Hua and was generally not mistaken for a cat, but rather like a little tiger.
"Okay, okay, whatever you say," Mu Bai said in a tone that sounded like he was coaxing a child.
Aju was so angry at his attitude that her face turned red. "You wait, I will definitely lead thousands of divine beasts from the Beast Realm to raze the Shi family to the ground."
"Crush the Shi family? Great, great, I'll give you my full support," Mu Bai said with an expression that said, "You're just bragging, I'm not going to listen."
Frustrated, Aju could only seek comfort in Dongfang Mian's arms, which amused Dongfang Mian. "Alright, how old are you? Why are you arguing with a child?"
After finally calming down Ah Ju, Dongfang Mian revealed her next plan: "We need to find those poison masters now and help them collect poisons as soon as possible."
"Huh? You're really going to let them complete the mission? They're going to use these things to kill the baby!" Ah Ju exclaimed.
"Who is Baby?" Mu Bai asked curiously.
Aju then enthusiastically pulled him over and told him the baby's story. After hearing the story, Mu Bai's face turned red with anger. "I knew the Shi family was no good, but I didn't expect them to be such scoundrels. Don't worry, I will definitely tell my father when I get back that if you need the Mu family's help, just ask."
Mu Bai's loyalty made A Ju immediately forgive his earlier ungratefulness.
Dongfang Mian smiled and said, "Okay, we will definitely ask the Mu family for help if we need it."
Then Dongfang Mian explained, "The Shi family's ancestral worship has a time limit. Even without these poison masters collecting them, they will definitely find all the necessary poison catalysts before the deadline. So why don't we help them out? We can use the time they spend refining the poisons to go to the Mu family to treat Mu Bai's mother. We can also take this opportunity to ask the Shi family head if we can participate in the Shi family's ancestral worship ceremony."
“Most importantly, don’t you want to show off your prowess in front of those poison masters?” Dongfang Mian said, looking at Aju.
