Hu Liena and the Others Were Dumbfounded: "What? Spirit Hall Took Da Wa's Mother?!"

The four of them and the tiger immediately dug in, the food on the ground vanishing at a rate visible to the naked eye.

"Wow, delicious... This is delicious too!"

"And this... this."

"That... that!"

Shi Hao accepted almost anything without hesitation, grabbing food and stuffing it into his mouth. He could not cook, so for the past few days, apart from drinking beast milk, he had only been gnawing on Gourd Shells. His mouth was practically going bland from it.

The Demonic Pattern White Tiger was the same... and it had an astonishing appetite. One bite took out a whole pile of food.

Yan could not restock fast enough. The three could only stare dumbfoundedly as nearly all the food they had brought was swept clean.

Throughout it all, Hu Liena did not forget to try getting closer to Shi Hao.

"Little one, what's your name?"

"Father said I like drinking beast milk, so I'm called Shi Hao."

Even while wolfing down food, Shi Hao did not forget to answer Hu Liena's question.

Hu Liena quietly wondered, did liking beast milk mean he had to be called Shi Hao? What was the connection between the two?

"Won't your family worry if you came out alone?"

Hu Liena asked again.

"I'll tell you a secret. I snuck out. Father wouldn't let me come out." Shi Hao suddenly looked left and right before speaking in a tiny voice.

Shi Hao made Hu Liena burst into laughter, but she still frowned and reminded him.

"You snuck out... That's not good. This is the Star Dou Great Forest, the largest gathering place for spirit beasts on the entire Douluo Continent. Even with this Ten Thousand Year Spirit Beast following you, it's still very dangerous."

But Shi Hao still explained seriously.

"Mother was taken away by bad people, so I have to save Mother. Father misses Mother every day... I want Father to be happy."

"So I snuck out to save Mother!"

Hu Liena could not help pitying the child. So his mother had been taken away. How pitiful. But then she thought of something else.

"Then why isn't your father coming to save your mother?"

"Um... There are still six younger brothers and sisters at home. Father can't leave."

"I see."

Hu Liena could not help marveling at Shi Hao's family's incredible fertility. There were seven children in that household.

Even if they had one child a year, it would still take seven years!

"Then I'll call you Da Wa!"

Thinking that Shi Hao was the eldest of seven, Hu Liena said cheerfully.

Shi Hao nodded. Father also liked calling him that.

At that moment, Hu Liena's brother Xie Yue frowned and spoke somewhat sternly. "The people who took your mother are too awful, aren't they? They even took the mother of seven children. Are they even human? Tell us quickly, which bastard did this?"

Hu Liena and Xie Yue had both been orphans since childhood and had never experienced a mother's love. Yet after Spirit Hall's Pope, Bibi Dong, took them in, they came to understand even more deeply the importance of family affection.

At that moment, Qian Daoliu, in Spirit Hall's Worship Hall, sneezed. Is someone thinking about me?

Even Yan chimed in, "That's right. Tell us, and we'll definitely help you."

He also had a strong sense of justice.

"It was people from Spirit Hall. They were the ones who took Mother away, making Father so sad... and keeping us siblings from seeing Mother!"

At the mention of this, Shi Hao's demeanor instantly changed.

Hearing "people from Spirit Hall," the expressions of the Golden Generation trio changed in unison. The things in their hands fell to the ground with three thuds.

The three exchanged glances. They were people from Spirit Hall, and they were even Spirit Hall's Golden Generation.

They were the future backbone of Spirit Hall. In other words, they could practically represent Spirit Hall... Yet now Shi Hao was saying that the people who had taken his mother were from Spirit Hall.

Their expressions immediately turned somewhat unpleasant.

"Were they really people from Spirit Hall... Are you sure? From what I know, Spirit Hall's reputation is actually quite good throughout the Douluo Continent. They serve the common people..."

Hu Liena probed softly.

"I don't care whether they're a good organization or a bad one... I only know that they took Mother away and separated our family!"

"When I find Spirit Hall, I'll definitely crush Spirit Hall and rescue Mother. Then Father will be happy."

Shi Hao spoke in a low voice with unusually determined eyes. The food in his clenched hand crumbled into powder.

Shi Hao realized he had crushed something, so he casually plucked a blade of grass beside him and began playing with it.

"Big Sister, it's true. Father told us several times, so it definitely can't be wrong." Shi Hao patted his chest and declared firmly.

Cough, cough, cough!

The three of them began coughing in unison. As Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, hearing the child before them say he wanted to crush Spirit Hall was indeed rather amusing.

"Big Brother, Big Sister... Are you sick? You keep coughing."

Shi Hao asked worriedly. Hu Liena waved her hand.

"No... I was just moved by your story. Spirit Hall is actually so hateful!"

"Yes, yes, yes... Spirit Hall really is too hateful!"

The three hurriedly agreed. Their expressions were somewhat complicated. If what the child before them said was true, then Spirit Hall really was the party at fault!

However, Hu Liena still felt that there might be some misunderstanding... Besides, it was normal for an enormous organization like Spirit Hall to have one or two scum among its ranks.

Hu Liena and the other two had no intention of revealing their identities just yet.

Hearing that Hu Liena and the others were on his side, Shi Hao immediately felt even more favorably toward them.

"By the way... Big Sister Nana... What are you doing here?"

Shi Hao had now learned the names of Hu Liena and the other two, so he asked them this.

"Did you come here to play hawk catches chicks?"

The three could not help sighing at how rich children's imaginations truly were. Hu Liena patiently explained.

"The three of us came to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt spirit beasts and obtain Spirit Rings. And just now, we were fighting that Demonic Pattern White Tiger, not playing that hawk catches chicks game you mentioned."

Shi Hao scratched his head. Hunting spirit beasts to obtain Spirit Rings... Weren't those things naturally provided at birth?

Shi Hao was somewhat confused, but he did not say anything.

At that moment, Yan poked his head out and asked curiously, "What is this hawk catches chicks thing you mentioned?"

"It's a game. You don't even know that? You're so dumb. You stand like you did just now. You're the mother hen, and the two behind you are chicks. The mother hen has to protect the chicks, and then the tiger is the hawk that wants to catch and eat the chicks."

"Father said that once Mother comes back, she can play with us."

"Father told me all of this. My father is really good at telling stories."

"And also, hide-and-seek. Let the Big Cat hide, and we'll find it together. Then we win. Big Cat gets punished. Hahaha!"

Shi Hao chattered on and on about so many things...

The Golden Generation trio listened with great interest as Shi Hao talked about these fun things. They had never played them either. They had always been cultivating, and had practically never had a happy childhood.

Envy was already showing on their faces. The father Shi Hao spoke of had to be a qualified father, capable of giving a child such a happy childhood.
