Bastard Father!

The next morning, Bai Di made breakfast as usual.

When Luke saw Huanhuan, he was immediately stunned by her beautiful appearance.

He even suspected that this beautiful female in front of him was not the same little girl with short hands, short feet, and a round face.

The difference was extraordinary!

Huanhuan sat on the grass covered in animal hides. Her shoulders were slumped, and she kept yawning. She was weak.

In comparison, Shuang Yun and Xue Ling looked energized. They looked flushed and energetic.

Eggy stood on Huanhuan’s shoulder. She nuzzled her mother’s cheek with her furry body and let out a crisp cry, “Chirp chirp.”

Seeing that her youngest daughter was comforting her, Huanhuan perked up and touched her. “Eggy, be good~”

Although Eggy was still young and didn’t understand many things, she had eyes and could tell that her mother was very tired.

As for why her mother was so tired…

Eggy remembered last night. She had seen her father carry her mother to the stream. After a long time, her father returned with her. At that time, her mother was so tired that she curled up in her father’s arms and did not move.

Eggy immediately had a guess.

It must be because her father had bullied her that she was so tired!

Bastard father!

Eggy flapped her small wings and flew toward Xue Ling.

Xue Ling thought that his precious daughter was going to give him a peck on the cheek and quickly reached out to pick her up.

However, he was hit in the face by a yellow furball.

Xue Ling tore off Eggy who had smashed into his face and carefully checked her. “Are you hurt? Fly slower next time and choose to turn or land in the right direction. Don’t hurt yourself.”

Eggy responded, “Chirp chirp!”

She didn’t fly in the wrong direction!

‘I’ll hit you, my bad father who bullied Mom!’

Bai Di cooked a large pot of fragrant meat porridge.

Shuang Yun scooped a bowl of meat porridge and brought it to Huanhuan.

“Don’t come over. I’ll go over and feed you.”

He sat on his haunches like a large canine.

If there was a dog tail behind him, it would be wagging happily.

Huanhuan had barely slept last night and felt dizzy. She opened her mouth and obediently accepted Shuang Yun’s feeding.

Watching her eat the meat porridge mouthful after mouthful, Shuang Yun felt even more satisfied than when he had become a beast king.

He hoped that he could feed Huanhuan every morning in the future.

He wanted to live a peaceful and happy life with her.

…

After eating and drinking their fill, the group set off for Nether City.

They walked out of the forest and into the desert. There were rocks and weeds everywhere.

Huanhuan lay on the white tiger’s back and fell asleep.

Eggy was sleeping soundly on her back.

In order not to wake the mother and daughter, the white tiger deliberately slowed down. Every step he took was very stable.

The Silvery Frost White Wolf led the way.

Xue Ling flew in the air. He informed Shuang Yun and Bai Di, then flew forward alone and circled the sky above Nether City.

He flew back and said he didn’t find anything unusual.

Although Nether City was called a city, it was actually more like a ruin made of soil mountains and strange rocks. Due to the complicated terrain inside, it was easy to get lost. Hence, this place was called the ‘demon’s maze’.

The group entered Nether City.

Xue Ling flew into the sky. With the height advantage, he could see the layout of the entire Nether City at a glance. With him in charge of guiding the way, no one had to worry about getting lost.

Along the way, they found many bones.

There were bones of beasts and dragons.

Luke examined each skeleton carefully and confirmed that none belonged to his relative.

They successfully arrived at the center of the city.

It was a circular square with eight large stone pillars by the side. Strange patterns were engraved on the surface of the pillars.

Clearly, this place was not naturally formed but man-made.

Xue Ling looked around and said meaningfully, “I keep feeling that something’s wrong with this place.”

“No matter what’s wrong with this place, let’s find Yun Hui first.” Shuang Yun just wanted to find Yun Hui quickly so that he could bring Huanhuan home as soon as possible.

He missed Big Goody, Dos, Tres, and Little Goody.

Xue Ling said, “This place is very big. We walked for half a day before reaching the center of the city. It’ll take at least a few days to search every corner in the city.”

“Then we’ll take our time,” Bai Di said. “Since we’re already here, we have to find some clues before we can go back.”

Shuang Yun nodded in agreement.

While the three of them were discussing it, Luke was already distracted by the pattern on the ground.

He squatted on the ground and reached out to brush away the thick dust, revealing a pattern that looked like claws.

Luke lowered his head and swept away all the dust around him. The pattern revealed gradually expanded until it finally revealed its complete appearance—a dragon.

A very ferocious dragon was engraved on the ground.

Luke’s expression changed. “This is the totem of an evil dragon! This is the territory of an evil dragon!”

His voice was louder, waking Huanhuan and Egg up.

Huanhuan got up and rubbed her eyes. “What’s wrong?”

Bai Di comforted her, “Don’t be afraid. It’s nothing.”

Shuang Yun asked what was going on with the dragon totem.

“The evil dragon is a cursed dragon. From the moment he was born, he lived to kill. He didn’t even let his parents and brothers off! Legend has it that after killing his family, the evil dragon killed dozens of his people in a row. He was captured by His Majesty the Dragon Emperor and was going to be executed. Unexpectedly, the evil dragon escaped from the death cell. From then on, the whereabouts of the evil dragon was unknown. Some people speculated that he might have died outside or found a remote place to hide.”

At this, Luke looked around, his face pale with fear. “I didn’t expect him to be hiding here.”

He lowered his voice as he said these words, as if afraid of alerting the dragon hidden here.

Xue Ling was not afraid of the evil dragon. He leaned over and flew down, landing on the ground.

“No matter how ferocious that evil dragon is, we have to find Yun Hui. I can’t come here for nothing.”

Whether it was intentional or not, his foot happened to land on the dragon’s eyeball.

The stone eyeball suddenly sank!

The entire square cracked!

Xue Ling reacted the fastest. He flapped his wings and was the first to fly.

Bai Di and Shuang Yun then jumped to the safest area closest to them.

Only Luke couldn’t avoid it. He fell into the black hole below and was quickly gone.

Huanhuan slid off the tiger’s back. She walked to the edge of the hole and peeked down.

It was dark below, and she couldn’t see anything.

She tried to call Luke’s name twice. There was no response.

He was too far away to hear her.

Or was he in danger and couldn’t respond even if he wanted to?

Xue Ling clicked his tongue. “I’ll go down and see if that kid is dead. If he’s not dead, I’ll save him. If he’s dead, he can only blame himself for having a short life.”

These words were heartless, but they were objective and rational.

Huanhuan looked at him. “Be careful. Come back quickly.”

Xue Ling lowered his head and kissed her face. Then, he spread his wings and flew into the hole in the ground.
