Chapter 57: Mother and Son's Bond

  Upon hearing the news of the experiment's success, his brother had a complex and inexplicable expression, silently blaming his younger brother with his eyes for being too naive, especially since there were outsiders present.

  But I also just spoke out and found myself too careless. What if I caught the attention of the red-haired old man, how would I answer this question?

  Regretting in silence, unfortunately there is no medicine for regret in this world. These words indeed sparked the curiosity of the red-haired old man, who asked with interest: "What experiment did you do?"

  "Uh, this experiment, uh, is like this."

  Stammering, he didn't want to tell the truth in his heart, but he wasn't fond of lying either. As a result, he couldn't come up with an excuse no matter how hard he tried, and he was left standing there awkwardly for a minute, looking like he wanted to say something but couldn't bring himself to do so.

  My brother is just a little stronger than me, and he calmly replied:

  "Big brother, it's like this. This time we two brothers entered the Magic Beast Forest mainly to hunt and kill a level 4 magic beast, to test whether our cooperative combat strength can destroy a level 4 magic beast." Then he looked at his younger brother and said:

  "Look at how excited you are, it's just killing a fourth-level magical beast, is it worth being that thrilled?"

  Brother, your words are flawless! The red-haired old man on the side was stunned, and Mu Leng said:

  "You said you all joined forces to kill a level 4 magical beast? Let me see what kind of magical beast it is?"

  At first, I heard my brother say that the two of them were just going to try their strength. In his mind, after the two of them came out, they would definitely be in a sorry state, being chased and killed by the fourth-level magical beast. Who knew they actually succeeded? As everyone knows, humans of the same level are generally not a match for magical beasts, let alone winning against one that is higher leveled. It's no wonder he was surprised.

  "Hey, Uncle, take a look at this corpse of the 6th-tier 4th-level Thunder Leopard, it was killed by my brother and me working together." I suddenly remembered what my brother had reminded me of, and as I spoke, I easily retrieved from my spatial wristwatch the corpse of a lightning-attribute magical beast that we had killed last time.

  The red-haired old man added while looking at the corpse:

  "This is not the case, yesterday the two brothers had a breakthrough in their strength, so they had the idea of experimenting with their combat power; but the third-level magic beast can't test the effect at all, and it's necessary to try boldly. It just happened to meet it, after a hard fight, finally killed it."

  Then I looked at my brother, he gave me a praising expression, and I continued: "Of course, killing a level 4 demonic beast also has some luck in it. If it weren't for its carelessness, we brothers wouldn't have been so easy; Also, if not for brother's massive destructive power, it wouldn't have been possible, I was just playing a little restraining role."

  After my detailed description, the old man with red hair finally nodded, seemingly thinking that this was reasonable. He thought for a moment and said: No wonder he was so excited just now that he couldn't speak, if it were someone else, they might be even more unbearable than him.

  But one thing is certain, that is, these two brothers really have some skills, otherwise, there's a possibility of being hit by falling pies from the sky and getting killed. Thinking of this, the red-haired old man smiled strangely.

  "You're all a bunch of experiment maniacs, no wonder that old codger took a liking to you!" His expression was fairly natural.

  "Grandpa, can we go now? My brother needs to rest and recover." I said with a worried face.

  "Go ahead, take it away, you can sell it and buy some good things for your brother to nourish his body." He used a gentle force to push the corpse of the lightning leopard in front of me, and let out a sigh.

  "Alas, looking at your current state, you're not in a hurry either, I'll send you on your way."

  The two brothers felt a strong gust of wind envelop them and in the blink of an eye they were already under their brother's dormitory building.

  An old man's hearty laughter came from the side, saying: "Haha, you two brothers just focus on recovering from your injuries for now, don't worry about anything else. I'll go talk to the hospital director myself."

  See off us two brothers, the red-haired old man can't keep calm anymore, heh heh sneered and said:

  "Hey old man, this time I've discovered the secret before you! When I tell you about their achievements, just wait and see what expression you'll have! Hehe..."

  The two brothers exchanged a strange smile, and it seemed like the old man was driving them away.

  The two brothers didn't go back to their dormitory directly, but instead returned to the cave, soaked in the hot spring and fell into a state of recovery...

  At the same time, in Junlang Village far away, Dad and Mom were a bit restless. Mother Huang Huolan said:

  "Dad, what's wrong with me lately? I've been feeling really uneasy and my eyelids have been twitching a lot. It feels like something is going to happen."

  Not far in front of him, a sturdy young man was studying an unusual wheel, which was Dad's lifeblood treasure - the astrological disc. At this moment, Dad also furrowed his brow into a川character, instantly sweating profusely, as if doing something extremely strenuous.

  After a while, Father put away the compass and turned around with an expression that was no longer as unpleasant as before, saying calmly:

  "It's all right, the children are fine."

  "Ah, son, you're talking about our son, have they encountered some danger? No way, I've got to go take a look, especially since Xiao Er is so honest and his eyesight isn't good, he's not very capable and always gets taken advantage of..."

  Mom thought it was something else at first and wasn't that excited, but as soon as she heard it had to do with her son, she became anxious and said a lot in a short time.

  "Dad smiled wryly and said, 'Lan, you're worrying too much! Didn't I tell you they're all fine? Although they did run into some trouble, it's already been resolved, so don't worry.'"

  "Really? You're not just saying that to reassure me, are you? Or did you misread it? I clearly felt a sense of unease. A mother's intuition is never wrong, why don't you do another divination to see?"

  "It can't be wrong, is it an illusion caused by exhaustion from recent intense cultivation? Besides, this matter concerns my son, I know what's at stake, so Lan'er, you don't have to worry, just rest well."

  "But I'm still worried, can you just recalculate it again?"

  "Alright, alright, I have no choice but to teach you; come, let me teach you how to read fortunes, so you can finally be at ease."

  "Uh-huh," Mom replied softly, a harmonious scene between husband and wife unfolded.

  One parent is meticulous in teaching, the other is serious in listening. Sometimes some small contradictions occur, but under Dad's gentle tolerance, he enlightens with reason and moves with emotion, and the contradiction quickly dissolves into nothingness. The feelings become even more solid because of the resolution of the contradiction. And when it comes to some obvious places, Mom and Dad are instantly compatible, and in the hearts of this couple, there is a great deal of secret joy that their minds are connected...

  Finally, Mom let out a sigh of relief and said, "I know, this hexagram shows that the two sons have encountered some trouble, but now the situation is optimistic, it seems that this is still an opportunity!" After finishing speaking, she sought Dad's opinion.

  Dad's response would not disappoint her, saying:

  "Yes, it seems that this 'seeing a dragon in the fields' is beneficial for you, sir. You are indeed clever!"

  "Who cares? Don't you know who I am?"

  Mom had a smug look on her face, excited like a kid, this was the change after crossing over, which matched the current mom's identity and age.

  "Lan'er is getting prettier and prettier, haha, and younger and younger!"

  Dad has also changed and become more charming after crossing over.

  Mum directly kissed dad's left and right cheeks, then seemed a bit shy and lowered her head. Suddenly, an idea that had been hidden for a long time popped up in her mind: having a daughter would make the two brothers have a sister, they would definitely be very happy about it, and be good to their little sister.

  Yes, this is what everyone in the family has been hoping to see for a long time. It was discussed a long time ago, but it wasn't possible back then. Now, mom can't bring herself to say anything, and dad won't take the initiative either. I guess we still need some kind of stimulus.

  Sister is definitely going to have one, but not now, look forward to it!
