After the beastmen returned, they immediately went to find Xiao Hei. Xiao Hei learned that Yang Mu had left food but had driven away the beastman, which made him itch with anger.
At the same time, he couldn’t help but wonder if the cunning human had discovered something, so he didn’t want to eat in front of them?
“Did that human say anything to you?” Xiao Hei asked.
The member carefully recalled his conversation with the human and then shook his head: “No.”
Xiao Hei fell silent for a moment. He frowned, pondering the possibility that Yang Mu had discovered the truth.
“Should I… deliver the food in the future?” Just as Xiao Hei was silent, a crisp voice suddenly sounded.
Xiao Hei turned around and saw the young one whom the king had rescued from the auction last time.
However, if the human was already wary, even changing to a different beastman would be useless.
But Xiao Hei did not refuse the young beast member. He just said, “Yi Lan, are you really willing to go and deliver food to that human every day?” Yi Lan was rescued from the auction by Shi Dixuan and had suffered a lot from humans since childhood. Xiao Hei was afraid that seeing humans would only trigger sad emotions in him.
Yi Lan nodded and said, “I am willing.” Yi Lan had been abused by humans since childhood, so he hated humans intensely. This hatred made him want to kill every human who had harmed the beastmen.
“Well then, I’ll leave the task of delivering food to that human to you in the future.”
“Understood.”
Xiao Hei wouldn’t know that if he let Yi Lan deliver the food to Yang Mu, Yang Mu would be even more cautious and would be even less likely to touch the food.
After all, Yi Lan was the beastman who had killed Yang Mu in his past life. No matter what, Yang Mu would always remember his face.
The next day, Yi Lan carried the food for Yang Mu into his hut.
He had lived among humans in his past life and had learned many things, so he was not as naive as others.
When he arrived at Yang Mu’s hut, Yang Mu was sitting on the bed lost in thought. Yi Lan quietly approached the table, placed the food on it, and then softly said, “Time to eat.”
Yi Lan was extremely good-looking, and his voice was crisp and sweet, which naturally made people feel fond of him when they heard him.
The voice was both unfamiliar and familiar to Yang Mu. He looked up to see a face that was so familiar it couldn’t be more familiar.

‘… Shi Dixuan actually sent this young man to deliver food to him?’ Yang Mu frowned, glanced at the food, nodded, and said, “You can put it down.”

As for today’s youth… in his past life, he had died at the hands of this one. How could he touch what they sent?
As usual, Yang Mu put the food into his storage ring without tasting a single bite.
For cultivators, a day passes by quickly.
As night fell, just as Yang Mu was about to start his cultivation, he encountered an unexpected person.
“Xiao Bai.” He widened his eyes, looking at the young man who quietly entered his room. Since Shi Dixuan took Xiao Bai away last time, he had not seen Xiao Bai again. Now, seeing his son again, he felt a tingling sensation in his eyes.
Xiao Bai walked up to him, and Yang Mu gently touched Xiao Bai’s head.
His son had grown taller, with sharper facial features, and his whole demeanor was colder than before.
Xiao Bai hugged Yang Mu, feeling the warmth from him. Thinking of everything he had endured these days, he couldn’t help but choke up and call out, “Father.”
The choking and aggrieved tone in his son’s voice sent a shiver through Yang Mu’s heart. He pulled Xiao Bai away from his embrace, frowned, and asked, “What happened? Did Shi Dixuan hit you?”
“Yeah,” Xiao Bai nodded, looking aggrieved.
Although Shi Dixuan’s discipline was meant as a lesson and benefited Xiao Bai greatly, in his mind, this villain was just hitting him, bullying him, and bullying his father and Xiao Huang.
After patting Xiao Bai’s head again, Yang Mu closed his eyes. He knew in his heart that Shi Dixuan’s “discipline” towards Xiao Bai might not have been malicious, considering both Xiao Bai and Shi Dixuan were of the same clan. However, he couldn’t help but feel heartbroken. “It’s all father’s fault, father is useless.”
Xiao Bai shook his head, not saying a word, and threw himself into Yang Mu’s arms. Having not seen Yang Mu for so many days, he missed him deeply. Coupled with what he was about to say, he just wanted to hug his father a little longer.
After the father and son embraced for a while, Yang Mu remembered to ask, “How did you get out? Did Shi Dixuan let you out?”
Xiao Bai shook his head. “No, I found an opportunity to escape.” He paused, then suddenly said seriously, “Father, there’s something I want to tell you.”
“Yeah? What is it?” Yang Mu asked.
“During the days I was locked up by that villain, I was always looking for a way to escape. It was only a few days ago that I managed to get information from a fellow member about a path that could lead us out of here the fastest. Only a small number of members know about this path.”
“The path?” Yang Mu was puzzled.
“Yes,” Xiao Bai nodded, holding Yang Mu’s hands and looking serious. “Father, you should escape. Leave this place.”
Xiao Bai’s words made Yang Mu furrow his brow. How could he possibly leave Xiao Bai and Xiao Huang alone here?
Seemingly aware of Yang Mu’s thoughts, Xiao Bai continued, “Father, you can’t defeat that villain, and neither can I. Both Xiao Huang and I are of the beast clan, so he won’t harm us. But… that villain told me a few days ago that he must kill you.” His tone was filled with sadness. “I don’t want to end up an orphan.”
The word “orphan” struck a chord with Yang Mu. His lips trembled, unsure of how to respond. When Xiao Bai was born, he was the only father he had. He had never told Xiao Bai about his other father, Shi Dixuan. Now that Shi Dixuan and Xiao Bai had met, Xiao Bai saw his biological father as an enemy because of him.
And Shi Dixuan was completely unaware that he had a son.
Now that Shi Dixuan wanted to kill him, if he died, wouldn’t Xiao Bai become an orphan?
He hesitated. Should he tell Xiao Bai about Shi Dixuan being his father?
Just as Yang Mu was hesitating, Xiao Bai spoke again, “Father, you escape from here and focus on your cultivation. Xiao Huang and I will also focus on our cultivation. In time, we will definitely be able to leave here and find you. But if you continue to stay here…” Xiao Bai didn’t finish his sentence, but Yang Mu understood what he meant.
“Perhaps I can take you and Xiao Huang with me?” Yang Mu suggested.
Xiao Bai shook his head again. “That villain is extremely powerful. Not only can you not defeat him, but you would also have to carry me and Xiao Huang, making it impossible for us to leave. Father, rest assured, Xiao Huang and I will definitely be able to take care of ourselves. You just need to safely leave from here.”
Yang Mu looked a bit dazed. He was extremely unwilling to give up Xiao Bai and Xiao Huang, but besides this option, what else could he do?
The mountains remain unchanged, and the green waters continue to flow.
He had to preserve his own life first, so he could continue to protect his children.
Yang Mu closed his eyes and nodded. “Okay, tell me the specific location of that path. Tomorrow, I’ll quietly go investigate. Once I’m familiar with the area, I’ll leave tomorrow night.”
“Alright.” Xiao Bai nodded and carefully explained the location of the path to Yang Mu.
After remembering the location of the path, Yang Mu stared at Xiao Bai, wanting to say something but hesitating.
“Father, if you have something to say, please say it quickly. I have to go back soon. If that villain finds out, it will be bad,” Xiao Bai urged.
Yang Mu gritted his teeth and finally decided to tell Xiao Bai about Shi Dixuan being his other father. Xiao Bai had the right to know, and he shouldn’t be selfish and hide this out of shame.
“I have something to tell you,” Yang Mu said, looking at Xiao Bai with a complex expression. To prevent himself from wavering again, he decisively said, “Your other father is Shi Dixuan.”
Xiao Bai’s eyes widened instantly. He seemed not to have understood and asked again, “Father, what did you say? I didn’t hear clearly.”
Yang Mu’s eyelids drooped. “Shi Dixuan is your other father. You are the son of both Shi Dixuan and me.”
There was a moment of silence in the room. Xiao Bai bit his lip, finding it difficult to speak. “If I’m the son of you and that villain, why does he want to kill you?”
Yang Mu sighed. “I didn’t tell him that you are his son. The situation is very complicated. Since ancient times, no man has been able to conceive. I have a congenital condition. Whenever my emotions are too intense, I emit a… scent.”
It was embarrassing to talk about this in front of his son. Yang Mu paused, mustering his courage, and continued, “It’s a kind of aphrodisiac scent. Due to an accident, I couldn’t control my emotions, and the scent drove Shi Dixuan crazy. After that…”
He didn’t need to say more. Xiao Bai understood, his eyes clouded.
“After that incident, I gave birth to you. I am human, he is of the beast clan. The beast clan’s essence is beneficial to humans, and he didn’t know about my condition, so he thought I had tricked him into that situation. That’s why he hates me. I thought I might never see Shi Dixuan again in my life, or it would be a long time, but I didn’t expect… he would find me so soon.”
Yang Mu had explained everything he needed to. Xiao Bai’s heart was in turmoil, and he remained silent for a long time, unable to speak.
This news was difficult for him to digest.
He had always thought he was a child without a mother. He had never thought about why Yang Mu, a human, could give birth to him, a beastman. He thought it might be because his mother had a special condition, and she might have passed away after giving birth to him.
He never imagined that he did not have a mother but had two fathers. He was the child of Yang Mu, and the villain he had always resisted turned out to be his other biological father.
“Do not ever mention this news to anyone. Me, a human, giving birth to you is already unheard of. If humans were to find out about this, we might both be captured and studied,” Yang Mu cautioned.
As a human, Xiao Bai naturally understood the dark side of humanity. If humans could give birth to a beastman, it would accelerate the reproduction of the clan. To extract the essence of the beastmen, he and Xiao Bai would surely be treated as guinea pigs for research.
“I understand,” Xiao Bai’s voice was somewhat subdued.
Seeing Xiao Bai like this, Yang Mu knew that Xiao Bai was still struggling to accept the truth. He pursed his lips, hugged his son again, and reluctantly said, “Go back.”
Xiao Bai looked up, gazed deeply at his father, then nodded gently and turned to leave the room where Yang Mu was.
Even though he was reluctant to leave his father, he had to let his father leave as soon as possible.
There was a long road ahead. As long as his father safely left this place, there would be plenty of time for them to be together in the future.
But things are never that smooth.
