Light gradually began to shine through the area where the little red squirrel had gnawed. From Lai Siyu and Erniu's perspective, it looked like the red squirrel had gnawed a hole through the mountain. But they both knew in their hearts that the mountain before them was a conjuration of the formation, meaning the red squirrel had gnawed a hole through it.
This is such a surprise!
"Xiaohong, eat faster. I'll make you something delicious when you're done!"
"If I don't call you Xiaohong, I'll call you Yingjun!" The little squirrel protested, waving his little paws.
"Okay, Yingjun, keep working hard, I'll make you braised spareribs tomorrow!"
"Braised spareribs, that sounds delicious! Okay, you two just wait for me!"
After the red squirrel finished speaking, it increased its gnawing speed. After a while, it had gnawed a hole big enough for a person to pass through.
Erniu and Lai Siyu went in one after another. The woman in the cage slowly got up from the couch and looked at them in confusion.
Lai Siyu scratched her head. This woman was so pretty and looked to be in her twenties, but she happened to be Grandpa Gu's junior sister. Should she call her "Grandma"?
It’s really frustrating. Oh, forget it, just call the senior.
"Senior, I am Gu Youcai's granddaughter. We are here to save you." Lai Siyu said.
"Don't come any closer!" the woman hurriedly waved her hand to stop them. "Around the cage is a killing array set up by Tiezhong and Master Xu Tong. If you get close, you'll die."
At this point, the woman's expression darkened, tears trickling down her cheeks. "Little girl, tell my senior brother not to be foolish and fall for Tiezhong's tricks and come rushing to his death. He also doesn't have to keep his promise. I owe him... I can only repay him in my next life..."
Erniu silently looked at the woman in the cage. His heart was bleeding and his eyes were filled with tears. At this moment, he wanted to rush to her side and gently call out, "Mom!"
"Yingjun, come here!" Lai Siyu waved to the red squirrel. "See if you can chew through this killing array. If you can, I'll make you fresh pepper rabbit tomorrow!"
A red shadow appeared in an instant. The red squirrel stared at Lai Siyu with its two little paws clenched and asked, "Where are the braised spareribs?"
“Do it too!”
"Yohoo~ Braised spare ribs and fresh pepper rabbit, here I come! It's just a killing array. It's not even a challenge for those below the third rank. Look at me!"
After the red squirrel finished speaking, it pounced forward and started biting the air wildly, tearing at it with its claws.
The red squirrel was busy in front, while Erniu was staring at the woman in the cage. Lai Siyu was wondering, but the woman in the cage spoke: "Who are you?"
"Xian, Ao, Tian..."
Erniu slowly uttered three words. As soon as these three words came out, his tears flowed like a spring and he could no longer hold them back.
"...You, you are Tian'er, my Tian'er? You really are Tian'er..."
The woman was like in a nightmare, repeating the same words over and over again. Her eyes were fixed on Erniu and she couldn't take them away.
"mother……"
Erniu knelt down in front of the woman and finally called out to her the word he had dreamed of for more than ten years.
The woman also fell down into the cage, shouting "Tian'er..." over and over again.
Lai Siyu didn't expect things to change so quickly. Originally, she came to save her grandfather's junior sister, but now it has become Brother Erniu saving his mother!
If you look closely, you can see that their eyebrows and eyes are really similar.
But no matter who saves whom, it is a good thing that Brother Erniu found his mother, but this beauty is Brother Erniu's mother, and she is my grandfather's junior sister, so doesn't she have to call Erniu uncle from now on?
Well, she had originally planned to discuss the dual cultivation manual she'd found in the underwater palace with Brother Erniu, but now that their generations have changed, it seems inappropriate... (Lai Siyu, what are you thinking? Can you think more rationally? You're actually thinking about dual cultivation in front of such a touching scene of mother and son recognizing each other?)
"Tian'er, I'm sorry for you. I haven't fulfilled my responsibilities as a mother for so many years. Take this little girl away. Don't waste your time. My life is coming to an end. Don't take any more risks for me." The woman paused and continued, "As soon as I leave this cage, Tiezhong will know. He's already in the late Foundation Establishment stage. If he comes, you won't be able to defeat him."
"Mom, you will be fine. I must rescue you. I brought this!" Erniu took out the red bead that he used to heal Lai Siyu's wounds. However, the color was very gray and no red could be seen at all.
"Tian'er, it's useless. Even with the inner elixir, I can't recover..."
Inner elixir? What's going on? Is Erniu's mother a demon cultivator?
Master’s junior sister is a demon cultivator?
This is simply unbelievable!
"Wow~ Grandpa, I've got it done, little girl. Come on and rush forward with your lover. Grandpa has eaten up all the killing arrays here!" The little squirrel smiled proudly, showing his two shiny big teeth.
Upon hearing this, Erniu immediately rushed to the cage, and the mother and son hugged each other tightly across the cage.
"Tian'er, please take this little girl away. I am already satisfied just to see you in my lifetime."
"No, mother, I want to take you away from this damn place. It's all my fault. I'm useless and have left you stranded here alone and suffering for so many years.
"Mom, this is for you. I didn't keep it well, and it hurt..." Erniu took out the gray demon pill and handed it to the woman.
"Oh my god, what's wrong with your demon pill? Are you bringing shame to our Fire Refining Clan?" The red squirrel jumped to Erniu's hand like lightning and snatched the demon pill away.
The red squirrel held the demon pill in its two little paws, squatted on the top of the birdcage, and looked at it over and over again.
Erniu wanted to snatch it, but was stopped by the woman.
"Girl, grandpa will add more dishes tomorrow. If you give me more dishes, I will help you recover this magic pill!" said the little squirrel, waving the magic pill in his claws.
Lai Siyu agreed without thinking. The little squirrel gave her too many surprises that night. No wonder it was so arrogant. It turned out that it was a squirrel with special skills.
"I'll make you a delicious meal tomorrow with at least twenty dishes!"
"Twenty dishes! Hoo hoo! Grandpa is here to help! Hoo hoo! Braised spare ribs, here comes Grandpa..."
The red squirrel threw the demon pill into the air, and then spit out a ball of orange flame to wrap the demon pill.
"My natal heavenly fire!" the woman exclaimed.
"What is the natal heavenly fire?" Lai Siyu asked.
"We fire-cultivating demons all have our own natal fire source, but no one's natal fire source is heavenly fire. Natal heavenly fire has always been a legendary existence among the demons." The woman's face was full of excitement. To be honest, she didn't know what kind of demon this red squirrel belonged to, but one thing was certain: the race that could possess natal heavenly fire must be extraordinary. Maybe...
