In a moment of impulse, I forcibly kissed my brother's best friend.

The ancient beast king with black markings was carrying two children who were starting to get sleepy.

The little boy was still struggling to keep his eyes open, while the little girl was already snoring softly in his arms, clearly exhausted.

The beast king silently approached the Illusionary Blood Vine, its crimson pupils growing increasingly eerie and ferocious. The thick fog, as if alive, attempted to converge upon it. Suddenly, it raised its head and roared, and the thick fog gathered on the entire tree instantly dissipated.

The two little babies were also startled awake by the shout. The little girl suddenly opened her eyes, pouted, and burst into a loud, earth-shattering cry.

Xie Yige paused, her large, peach-blossom eyes filled with confusion: "Why is there a little girl crying in the forest?"

Several people immediately formed a circle around her, protecting her tightly in the center.

Jingqiu calmly said, "After that big tiger roared just now, the mist in the forest seemed to have completely dissipated."

Sang Miao crouched down and, using the moonlight filtering through the leaves and the light of the torches, carefully examined something on the ground.

After a moment, a hint of fear flashed in her eyes. "There are some terrifying things in this misty forest."

Xie Yige quickly walked up to her and looked at the ground as well, "What is that?"

"The legendary Illusionary Blood Vine has blood-red vines that can weave a net that covers the entire mountain forest. The Illusionary Flower can exhale miasma, bewitching living beings, and then use its vines to entangle, drag, and carry them away, nourishing itself with the flesh and blood of humans and animals."

Sang Miao pointed to the ground, "These are the marks left by the blood-red vines."

Xie Yige moved the dragging floor she was stepping on, and a chill spread from the soles of her feet throughout her body.

The thought of him being dragged away by those terrifying Illusory Blood Vine, his fate unknown, sent shivers down her spine.

"Sang Miao, lead us to the location of this Illusionary Blood Vine."

Sang Miao looked at the marks on the ground, sniffed, and caught a faint smell of blood mixed with the sour smell of rotting grass and trees.

"Come with me."

Suddenly, Xie Dudu in her sea of ​​consciousness seemed to sense something and jumped out.

"Master, I'm leaving for a bit, I'll be right back." It seemed to be in a hurry, and before Xie Yige could react, it disappeared without a trace.

Xie Yige was stunned for a moment, but at this moment, her worry for Cui Yutang had overshadowed all her curiosity, and she had no time to care about anything else.

In the heart of the dense forest, on the gnarled branches of the Illusionary Blood Vine, sixteen figures swayed silently among the crimson blossoms.

"Little sister, don't cry, it looks like Daddy is hanging up there." The little boy looked anxiously at Cui Yutang, who was bound and hanging by the Illusionary Blood Vine.

His appearance is very easy to recognize.

Her long hair was tied up high, flowing in the wind like silk; her skin was as bright as white porcelain; and her eyes were deep and noble.

Even when tied up and hanging, it's still the most beautiful zongzi.

The little girl stopped crying and looked up curiously, tears still glistening on her eyelashes.

"Guoguo, is Daddy sleeping upstairs?" Her voice was innocent and carefree.

The little boy was frantic. "Sister, Daddy isn't comfortable sleeping up there." He glanced at the terrifying tiger, swallowed hard, and said, "Ask the big tiger if he can help us."

The little girl crawled forward a few steps and patted the head of the Ancient Miasma Beast King with her little hand.

"Big Tiger, help me put Daddy down, be gentle, okay?" She pointed her little finger at the person in the tree.

The crimson beast's eyes followed her small hand, and with a swift swipe of its claws, the giant rice dumpling Cui Yutang fell from the tree, the vines binding her body instantly slicing away.

The two children quickly dismounted from the Ancient Miasma Beast King and ran to Cui Yutang's side on their short legs.

"Daddy, it's me, Chaochao! Get up and play with me!" The little girl happily hugged his face and kissed him.

The little boy immediately reached his trembling hand under his nose and felt a faint breath. He breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Chaochao, did you bring the white medicine candy your uncle gave you?"

"Yes, do you want some, Brother Pot?" the little girl said, opening her small backpack and taking out a tiny red box.

"Give this to Father. My eldest uncle said this medicine can save lives in critical moments." He took the small wooden box from his sister, took out the medicine, and stuffed it into Cui Yutang's mouth.

He filled a small water bladder from his backpack with some water, which spilled from the corner of his mouth. He clumsily wiped it away with his sleeve.

Two little ones squatted on the ground, one on each side of Cui Yutang's head, their two little heads touching, hovering above his face, their eyes fixed on his gently trembling eyelashes without blinking.

After a short while, he slightly opened his eyes.

Through a blur, he met two small faces. When he saw them clearly, Cui Yutang's pupils dilated in surprise.

He even secretly pinched his palm, wondering if he was hallucinating again. The stinging pain in his palm was unbearably real.

"Daddy, you're awake!" the little girl exclaimed excitedly.

"Daddy." The little boy's voice choked with sobs. He and his sister were terrified when they inexplicably fell into this terrifying forest. His eyes were red, but he stubbornly refused to let the tears fall.

Cui Yutang took a deep breath and slowly sat up, with the two little ones clinging to him.

He touched their faces; they were warm. They must be human, right?

He sniffed again; it was a refreshing milky scent, mixed with the faint floral and fruity fragrance of himself and Xie Yige, and a subtle hint of cool sandalwood.

It's confirmed.

Are they two human babies, or were they born to him by Yige?

Thinking about this, he felt inexplicably happy.

He picked up the two little ones, one in each arm, and let them sit on his lap.

"How did you two end up here?" He looked down at the two small faces in his arms that looked just like his and Xie Yige, his voice soft and gentle.

"Daddy, Su Dudu brought us here," the little girl happily raised her hand to answer.

"Who is Dudu?"

"Dudu is just Dudu." The little girl's soft and cute face was innocent and carefree, and it was obvious at a glance that she was still naive.

Cui Yutang looked at the little boy, but the little boy shook his head, his face showing a seriousness beyond his years.

"Father, I don't know who this Dudu she's talking about is. I've never seen her before."

"Daddy, Dudu's here." The little girl pointed to a hollow in the forest.

The two men followed her hand, but saw nothing.

Moonlight streamed through the gaps, and the Illusionary Blood Vine's flowers flickered like will-o'-the-wisps of red lanterns, creating a particularly eerie scene in the forest at night.

The little boy couldn't help but hug Cui Yutang even tighter, burying his face in the crook of his neck.

Xie Dudu stared at the little girl, and the blue halo trembled.

"You can see me?" Xie Dudu was somewhat distraught.

"Yes." The little girl suddenly spoke to the void, tilting her head slightly.

"Dudu, when are you going to send me and Guoguo to the fattening place? It's all dark and no fun here."

I don't have this function. Xie Dudu looked at this mini version of Xie Yige and was on the verge of tears.

"How did you get here?"
