Chapter 784: Chapter 525: Shouting Father (Second Update)_1

The next second, Silver lunges at Qiaozi. Silver moves so fast that Gong Yu barely even has time to react.

Qiaozi’s immediate response is to ascend quickly. Unfortunately, nimble Silver still manages to climb onto its ’beautiful back’, causing Qiaozi to fly recklessly around the jungle.

"Sis, what’s going on here?" Silver actually isn’t afraid of Qiaozi at all. It must be a fake snake, right?!

For the first time, Gong Yu witnesses a snake... a snake that’s no larger than a thumb daring to attack an eagle, and not just any eagle, but the king of the birds, the Oriental Honey-Buzzard.

Unbelievable... absolutely unbelievable.

Where did it get all this courage?

Mu Lin smiles faintly, "It’s okay, they’re just bonding. Qiaozi doesn’t like Silver on its back since Silver once pissed on it". This mess is actually her fault. With a wry smile, Mu Lin admitted that Qiaozi held a grudge for life. "However, Silver loves Qiaozi’s back the most." Therefore, their meetings typically involve love and hate.

"You’ll get used to it." She’s already used to it anyway.

As expected, Mu Lin appears exceptionally composed.

Gong Yu nods but her eyes are still stuck on the two creatures.

It’s almost irresistible. She has no idea where her sister found such smart birds of prey and snakes.

"Let’s go inside first. They’ll come back on their own after they’re done. We haven’t seen each other in a while, so they might play a bit longer." Mu Lin continues to walk towards the cabin, with Gong Yu reluctantly following along. By now, the figures of Qiaozi and Silver had already flown far away.

After entering the cabin, Gong Yu is still full of curiosity, "Sis, how is there a house here?" Isn’t this inside the military camp?

"You should ask your brother-in-law that." Mu Lin smiles and takes a seat in the small living room, "It was already here when I first arrived." It seems she’d never asked Jing Chen why he had a house built here. If she had to guess, she’d think Master Jing probably wanted some peace and quiet.

Although the forest is filled with the sounds of nature, it’s not chaotic. At least, it’s much quieter than the outside world.

"Oh," Gong Yu nodded, didn’t ask anything else, and began curiously looking around. She thought the cabin gave off a very warm and cozy vibe. She wished she could live here for a few days, feeling like a princess in the forest.

Ha ha ha... what an imaginative little girl.

Jing Chen’s original room was now vacant. Gong Yu rushed to the other room and was immediately dazzled by a pink Night Pearl, "Sis, this Night Pearl is actually pink, so pretty." It’s beautiful and cozy. She hesitated for a moment, leaning against the doorframe to ask, "Did your husband give you this?" Does he?\n

"Yes." Mu Lin nodded, "It was here when I came back last time." Probably because he was too shy to give it to her directly.

"Never thought my brother-in-law could be so romantic." Gong Yu sighed. After all, Jing Chen usually came off as quiet, stern, and cold, like a natural air conditioner.

Except when he’s dealing with her sister, he’s mostly like that all the time.

Only someone as powerful as her sister could tame such a brother-in-law. There’s some inexplicable pride in that realization.

Hearing Gong Yu’s words, Mu Lin laughed. It seems like she had thought of something, "If you like it, you can pick one when we return to the Black Forest tomorrow. However, it won’t be pink." She remembered there were a lot more there.

Poor Uncle Qiaozi’s treasure is once again coveted.

"Really?" Gong Yu was surprised.

It wasn’t that she hadn’t seen Night Pearls before, or that Night Pearls were particularly precious. It’s just that it’s a gift from Mu Lin, and she loved anything from Mu Lin ─ even an ordinary stone.

In fact, Mu Lin mentioned it casually; but of course, she always keeps her word.

One could only say that Uncle Qiaozi was not very lucky. If this continues, his treasures would soon be emptied by Mu Lin. Then he will probably cry again.

This is, after all, Uncle Qiaozi’s second most cherished thing.

About twenty minutes later, Qiaozi, with Silver in its beak, came back. Despite looking tired, Silver seemed rather pleased with itself.

After all, no matter what, Qiaozi couldn’t possibly eat it. Therefore, Silver was nowhere near scared, knowing that Mu Lin has its back.

Gong Yu carefully took Silver from Qiaozi’s mouth and held it in her palms to check for injuries.

Luckily, it’s only a minor flesh wound, nothing serious. She carefully continued to check for other wounds, ready to apply medicine.

She knows that Mu Lin’s cabin is filled with all sorts of medicine. They have everything you could possibly need.

In there, too, are surely many poisons; Gong Yu hasn’t forgotten Mu Lin’s old profession.

Mu Lin: "Qiaozi, I’m here this time, because there’s an important mission that I need to give you." It’s all down to them now.

Mu Lin knows that her mother would want to stay there alone.

Qiaozi listens, cocking its head with curiosity. It rarely receives tasks from Mu Lin since she descended the mountain.

"We’re going to the Black Forest tomorrow". Mu Lin continues, "My mother will stay there for some time. Although it’s protected by array, it’s still somewhat dangerous. So I want you and Silver to stay with her, protect her, until she wants to come back, accompany her home."

Mother?

Qiaozi tilted its head; when did Mu Lin get another mother? Is it Jing Chen’s mother?

"It’s my biological mother." Mu Lin reached out to stroke its head, "She’s someone I’ve only just got back. She’s also the one Master loved the most."

At this point, Mu Lin gently smiled, "Qiaozi, do you know, it turns out that the Master is actually my father. So, it’s necessary to return and properly call him father. That was his biggest wish."

Qiaozi nodded, not fully understanding, but it seemed like good news.

Holding Silver in both hands, Gong Yu looked at Mu Lin with a sense of sorrow in her eyes. She could feel the aura around Mu Lin when she said these words.

Her sister must still be heartbroken, right?

And she also felt sad for her little uncle; dying without knowing that the one next to him was actually his child ─ what could be more heartbreaking than this?

Sigh... But discussing it now doesn’t make sense; she wishes little uncle were still alive, which would make everyone happy. But Gong Yu knows that’s impossible.

After all, death is irreversible.
