After learning that Hu Liena was willing to help them and knew about Spirit Hall, Lin Ning and Lin An were instantly overjoyed. Full of anticipation, the siblings shouted at Hu Liena.
"Thank you, Sister!!"
Seeing the two adorable children thanking her so sweetly, Hu Liena's heart practically melted. She could not help reaching out to tap their noses, then said with a soft laugh.
"No need to thank me. Xiao Ning and Xiao An are so cute—anyone would help you."
"Come with Sister to the nearby Spirit Hall now. We'll check where your Mother is, all right?"
Seeing Hu Liena acting so gently, the Teammates beside her were stunned for a moment.
Good lord!
They had never seen Hu Liena this gentle before.
Hu Liena had always been the undisputed Team Tyrant!
At the same time, she had always possessed an extremely resilient personality, neither warm nor cold toward anyone, inside or outside the team.
When had they ever seen Hu Liena be this gentle?
And!
Where the hell had that hoarse voice of yours gone?
Hu Liena, you were putting on a Falsetto just to coax two children!
Still, the charm of a Falsetto was immense. Lin Ning and Lin An were promptly led away by Hu Liena.
The others also wanted to help the siblings, so they followed them out of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Compared to Hu Liena and the others' laughter and chatter,
Chrysanthemum Douluo felt as though his entire life had gone dark.
What the hell was this!!
It was just that he could not say anything right now.
Otherwise, Chrysanthemum Douluo would definitely let Hu Liena and her group learn just how dangerous the world could be.
What a joke!
What child looking for their Mother came to the Star Dou Great Forest first?!
What kind of decent children came here looking for their Mother?
Was this a place one could just casually enter?
Besides, they were already close to the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Even Chrysanthemum Douluo had to proceed with extreme caution after entering this place.
Not to mention that these two children were Soul Douluo!
Did they know what a Soul Douluo was?
There were not even a hundred in all of Spirit Hall!
Spirit Hall covered the entire Douluo Continent, yet even with such an enormous reach, it had fewer than a hundred.
And what kind of ordinary person could the Mother of two Soul Douluo possibly be?
Giao!
To give birth to such gifted existences...
If they really found the Mothers of these two Little Monsters in Spirit Hall...
Chrysanthemum Douluo felt that only Bibi Dong, the current Pope of Spirit Hall, could possibly fit the bill.
But!
How could the flawless Pope, Bibi Dong, possibly be these two little ones' Mother?
Bibi Dong was the most noble person in Spirit Hall. Forget having children—
no one had even heard of her getting married.
After ruling out Bibi Dong, Chrysanthemum Douluo truly could not think of anyone worthy of being these two little ones' Mother.
If their Mother was not within Spirit Hall...
Then that meant...
Lin Ning and Lin An's Mother had most likely really been captured by someone from Spirit Hall!
Fuck!
If they had truly captured the Mother of these two monsters,
Chrysanthemum Douluo genuinely did not dare imagine how much of an impact Spirit Hall would suffer.
It was simple!
What kind of force could raise two Monsters like these?
What kind of ordinary person could possibly be their Father?
And then there was that terrifying White Dog Soul Beast, capable of threatening his life at any moment.
Chrysanthemum Douluo truly did not dare think about it!
Someone who could raise two such Monsters and possess a Soul Beast stronger than a Level 95 Titled Douluo as a servant—
did such a person even exist?
If such a person did exist, then there seemed to be only one person who could have taken away these two little ones' Mother.
The strongest person in Spirit Hall—and in the entire Douluo Continent.
The Limit Douluo who had remained at Level 99 for many years, an old monster only one step away from becoming a god—Qian Daoliu.
What was more!
These two little ones' Mother might even be a Soul Beast!
Just like Tang Hao of the Clear Sky Sect, whose partner had been a Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Grass.
If she really was a Soul Beast...
Then she had most likely become the soul ring of some important figure in Spirit Hall.
If that was the case, Chrysanthemum Douluo felt he could start preparing to run away now.
However...
He had nowhere to run. With that White Dog watching him, Chrysanthemum Douluo did not doubt that if he dared make even the slightest extra movement, death would be waiting for him.
Chrysanthemum Douluo could only obediently follow behind them, hoping Hu Liena and the others would not stumble upon something forbidden.
Meanwhile,
Hu Liena and the others began asking Lin Ning and Lin An for relevant information.
"By the way, what is your Mother's name? What does she look like? If we know that, I can have Spirit Hall look through its records in advance."
The moment those words came out, Lin Ning and Lin An froze.
Lin An's little face immediately crumpled, his eyes filled with grievance. "We don't know..."
Hu Liena and the others could not help but stare.
Hu Liena pressed, "You don't know? Have you never seen your Mother?"
Lin Ning rubbed her younger brother's little head. Looking somewhat downcast, she replied.
"No. We haven't seen Mother since we were born."
The moment they heard that, Hu Liena and the others could not help feeling sorry for them.
So they had grown up without a Mother...
No wonder their Father had said that...
In an instant, Hu Liena had already pieced together the entire story in her mind.
Their Mother had died when they were little.
To comfort the two adorable children, their Father had deliberately created a "kind lie" that their Mother had been captured by Spirit Hall.
And in order to care for them, he had never told them anything about Spirit Hall since they were young.
All the things that had not made sense suddenly did.
Having figured this out, Hu Liena did not expose the "lie." Instead, she walked up to Lin Ning and Lin An with a smile and said softly.
"Don't worry. Even if you don't know anything, Sister will still help you look."
"It might take a while, though. Can you wait?"
Hearing that, Lin Ning and Lin An looked at Hu Liena with eager anticipation.
As the older Sister, Lin Ning was so excited that she began waving her arms and dancing around.
"We can wait! Thank you, Sister!"
Compared to the warm scene over there, Chrysanthemum Douluo beside them was trembling in fear.
There was no other reason!
Compared to the story Hu Liena had imagined,
Chrysanthemum Douluo had also perfectly imagined a story of his own.
It was simple!
Their Mother really had been captured by Spirit Hall's upper ranks.
As a result, the siblings had truly gone years without seeing their Mother.
Their Father feared Spirit Hall's power, so he had temporarily suppressed all his hatred, waiting for the day he could bare his fangs and bite Spirit Hall to death in one strike.
Just as Chrysanthemum Douluo finished imagining this entire chain of events,
a voice appeared in his mind at precisely the right moment, making Chrysanthemum Douluo silently lower his head.
"You can think whatever you want. But if you say it out loud, you'll die. Understand?"
