"I can't believe you have such a good appetite!"
Hu Dali patted Hu Qianshan's shoulders vigorously, smiling with wrinkles all over his face, just like a newly opened flower.
"What did Brother Tian say? Well, there are differences in aesthetic standards among tribes...so generally speaking, we tiger demons think that human girls have too small butts, too flat breasts, and no hair on their bodies. They are really ugly when they are naked!"
"And you human men will also think that us tiger demon women are too rough! Not elegant enough! With thick arms and legs, and rough voices, we are not fit to be taken out to meet people!"
"You... how pitiful must you be that you couldn't find a wife, so you just found a tigress?"
Hu Dali laughed so hard that his eyes narrowed into a line. He looked at Hu Qianshan with a million times more enthusiasm for gossip.
"Tiger Mother and I are truly in love!" Hu Qianshan glared at Hu Dali fiercely: "You young boys, you know nothing!"
"Then where are they?" Hu Dali looked at Hu Qianshan with great interest: "Hey, you already have a tiger cub, why are you still claiming sons everywhere? I treat you as a brother, but Uncle Hu, if you want to claim me as your son, I won't do it. My Tiger Dad will probably blow your head off!"
Hu Qianshan looked at Hu Dali, who was oozing with sturdy energy and had a reckless look on his face, and sighed heavily.
Looking up, Hu Qianshan said in a deep voice: "I don't know where they are now. Maybe they are alive, or maybe they are dead?"
Hu Dali's face looked a little ugly. He frowned hard and stared at Hu Qianshan: "Uncle Hu, how come you can't even figure out the life and death of your own woman and son? What happened? The Hu family does not allow you to flirt with a tigress?"
Hu Qianshan laughed dryly, and remained silent for a long time. After walking seven or eight miles, he shook his head gently: "The Hu family... If the Hu family hadn't used their strength, I would have been killed by someone, right?"
Hu Dali said nothing, but just stared at Hu Qianshan intently.
"Tiger Mother... is already in a relationship." Hu Qianshan laughed bitterly, "Her family background is not very good. Her ancestor was a patrolling spirit beast of a certain powerful force. When Tiger Mother was born, she was the private property of that powerful force."
"Which big force? Your Hu family is not weak?" Hu Dali looked at Hu Qianshan in surprise.
Although Dali Ge was not very smart, after hearing what Hu Qianshan said, he could guess the following plot - Hu Niang was just a slave, the private property of that powerful force, and she secretly gave birth to a baby with Hu Qianshan, which must have violated some taboos.
She and the tiger cub of Hu Qianshan should have been captured, right?
"We can't afford to provoke the Hu family... They can crush the entire Windless Canyon with just one of their little fingers." Hu Qianshan said dully, "They are from the deeper inner ocean of the ninth island of the Fallen Star Ocean, the real core area of the Fallen Star Ocean. They are the most powerful, oldest, and most complete force in the entire Fallen Star Ocean, and they can confront the Celestial Clan head-on."
Hu Qianshan sighed, "If the Hu family didn't have a backer who was only one level weaker than them, I, Uncle Hu, would have been crushed to pieces that time. A patrolling spirit beast is more noble than the head of my Hu family. Hey!"
"You really look like my tiger cub!" Hu Qianshan patted Hu Dali's arm hard.
"I don't want to be your son, I'd rather be your brother!" Hu Dali patted Hu Qianshan's shoulder hard: "If there's a chance, Brother Dali will help you bring your wife and son back!"
After a pause, Hu Dali muttered in a low voice: "From your tone before, I thought they were all dead. It turns out that you don't even know whether they are alive or dead..."
"After all, let's just treat them as dead!" Hu Qianshan laughed bitterly, "What good ending can they have?"
Hu Dali blinked his eyes and glared at Hu Qianshan: "That's just bullshit, it stinks. How can you think like that? As Tian Ge'er said, there is no such thing as hopelessness in the world. As long as there is still a glimmer of hope, try your best, and there will always be a glimmer of hope!"
"Don't sigh and complain. Think about it. They are still alive and well. Maybe they are doing hard labor, or being locked up in a dark prison, or being tortured in some other way. But don't say the word 'death' so easily!"
"Believe they are still alive, and then, we will slowly work hard, and one day, we will be able to pull them out!" Hu Dali smiled brightly, and said to Hu Qianshan with a very bright smile: "Come, follow me, they are still alive and well, at most they are suffering a little, so we need to rescue them!"
Hu Qianshan looked at Hu Dali blankly. After a while, he truly believed what Hu Dali said.
All along, Hu Qianshan kept telling himself that his wife and the cub were dead and there was no way they could survive. With the harsh rules of such a powerful force and so many strict regulations, his wife had violated the rules and sneaked out. If she was caught, she would definitely not survive.
The Hu family tried their best, and Hu Baichuan ran to the family's backer and knelt down to beg for three days and three nights. Only then did the family's backer come forward and save Hu Qianshan's life!
That’s all. The power of the Hu family can only protect Hu Qianshan, but it can’t do more.
Therefore, Hu Qianshan kept telling himself that his wife and cub were actually dead. Even every time he talked about this matter with outsiders, Hu Qianshan would tell them in a calm tone that they were dead, all dead, and died cleanly.
But Hu Dali's words gave Hu Qianshan other hopes.
Maybe, really or?
Maybe, there is hope?
"It's just that we want to save people from them!" Hu Qianshan laughed bitterly, "Even if we use all our strength, we can't do it!"
"We are there!" Hu Dali raised his head and smiled disapprovingly: "Tian Ge'er often said that those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. As long as you are willing to sacrifice your life, you dare to dethrone the emperor. As long as you are brave enough and your methods are ruthless enough, what can't you do?"
"Don't worry!" Hu Dali patted Hu Qianshan's shoulder fiercely, grabbed his shoulder and shook it: "If you can't do it in one year, then ten years. If you can't do it in ten years, then a hundred years...even a thousand years, ten thousand years? As long as you work hard, water dripping through a stone, what can't be done?"
Bending his arms and showing off his strong muscles, Hu Dali said proudly, "It's just like when I was a kid and got beaten up by Tiger Dad, I always thought that I could beat him back someday... But now, Tiger Dad is no match for me! Tian Ge'er is right, nothing is impossible in this world!"
