"Kai, what are you doing in the Star Dou Great Forest this time?" the Titan Giant Ape asked, leaning closer.
"I'm thinking about a problem."
Kai rubbed his hands together, revealing a mysterious smile.
"What's wrong?"
The Titan Giant Ape scratched his head, asking with an innocent expression.
"Is the reason you two are unwilling to trust Spirit Hall because Sister Xiao Wu's mother died at the hands of Spirit Hall?"
Kai directly brought up the matter this time.
Upon hearing this, the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape were startled, instinctively looking in Sister Xiao Wu's direction. Fortunately, Ah Yin was currently chatting and laughing with Sister Xiao Wu, so she didn't notice this side.
The Sky Azure Bull Python's expression grew a few shades more solemn, and a glint of hatred flashed in his eyes.
"That's right, which is why we hate Spirit Hall so much. But we are not unreasonable; we know you are different from the other people in Spirit Hall, which is why we bear no ill will towards you."
The Sky Azure Bull Python said in a deep voice.
"Hmm, Kai, if you're trying to persuade us to cooperate with Spirit Hall, forget about it."
Although the Titan Giant Ape usually acted like a simpleton, his expression was exceptionally serious at this moment.
Kai shrugged helplessly: "What if I could revive Sister Xiao Wu's mother? Would you two then be willing to join Spirit Hall? To be my followers?"
"What?!"
The lake water instantly surged.
The Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape looked at Kai in disbelief.
"Are you telling the truth?" the Sky Azure Bull Python asked in a lowered voice.
"Yes, but there's only one chance. If you don't seize this opportunity, I'll go and revive someone else."
Kai pouted.
In reality, if he could take these two big simpletons as his subordinates, he would not only gain two Titled Douluo-level powerhouses, but with their presence, he could also attract more Spirit Beasts.
"..."
The two big simpletons immediately fell silent.
At this moment, Ah Yin came over with Sister Xiao Wu. Tears welled up in Sister Xiao Wu's eyes, and she choked out to Kai, "Kai, can you really... revive Mama?"
"Yes, but I won't do it for free."
Kai nodded. He wouldn't be a big softie.
"If you can revive Mama, I... I'll listen to everything you say!"
Sister Xiao Wu excitedly grabbed Kai's hand, her face flushing crimson.
If the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape weren't still there, she would probably have said some inappropriate things by now.
"Uh..."
Kai sighed helplessly: "What about you two big simpletons? This is a very fair trade. You two become my subordinates, and I won't treat you badly."
"Who knows, maybe one day I'll be happy and let you two become gods."
The Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape looked at Sister Xiao Wu, who was crying with red eyes on the side, and finally softened their hearts.
Anyway, the person was already gone.
Even if he couldn't revive her, they wouldn't lose anything.
"Alright! If you can revive Auntie, we'll recognize you as our Big Brother! And our grievances with Spirit Hall will be written off. We will also persuade the Spirit Beasts to try and make contact with you."
The Sky Azure Bull Python made up his mind and said in a deep voice.
Sister Xiao Wu cried tears of joy: "Da Ming, Er Ming, thank you!"
The Titan Giant Ape comforted her: "Sister Xiao Wu, you don't need to thank us. If Kai really has a way to revive Auntie, you should be thanking him."
"Spirit Hall having Kai is Spirit Hall's good fortune."
Kai smiled helplessly and said to Sister Xiao Wu: "Do you have anything your mother left for you, something that carries her aura?"
"Does... this count...?"
Sister Xiao Wu took out an exquisite wooden comb.
"I knew it would be this thing."
Kai seemed to have thought of something, his gaze strangely fixed on the wooden comb: "I say, has this comb of yours been used by Tang San? I'm telling you in advance, my resurrection technique can only revive based on the aura attached to the item."
"This comb of yours has been touched by at least three people, hasn't it? Don't tell me I'll end up reviving Tang San!"
Kai could no longer imagine it.
His single phrase: "Revive, my lover!!!"
And then, Tang San appeared... that would be a lifelong trauma... "Ah, that comb, I already threw it away."
Sister Xiao Wu said somewhat awkwardly: "Actually, the comb I asked Tang San to comb my hair with was one I made myself later, it looked very similar to the one Mama made. The comb Mama made for me, I've always kept it here."
"Alright, alright, so you were also playing mind games with that Little Scoundrel."
Kai's face was covered in black lines.
Ah Yin, Sky Azure Bull Python, Titan Giant Ape: "..."
Kai took the comb, looking somewhat awkwardly at the four people around him... oh no, the four Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beasts.
"Big Brother, don't just stand there, you can start!"
The Titan Giant Ape immediately called him Big Brother, urging Kai to begin.
"Kai, I believe in you," Ah Yin also said.
"Kai! You are my God!!!" Sister Xiao Wu exclaimed loudly.
Kai stumbled, almost falling to his death.
Kai took a deep breath, an expression of wanting to cry without tears on his face: "Mocking the Little Scoundrel, becoming the Little Scoundrel..."
Kai's expression turned solemn. He slowly released a trace of spirit power, making the wooden comb float in mid-air. Then, his gaze became devout, though no matter how one looked at it, this devotion seemed more like Kai bravely facing death... Immediately after, under the expectant gazes of Sister Xiao Wu, Ah Yin, and the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, Kai roared: "Revive, my lover!!!!"
Seeing no reaction, Kai completely let himself go.
"Revive, my lover!!!!"
"Revive, my love..."
"..."
Silence, deafening.
Sky Azure Bull Python, Titan Giant Ape: "?!"
Ah Yin: "Uh...?"
Sister Xiao Wu: "I want to be with you, but you want to be my dad?!"
As soon as these words came out... the other three: "Holy crap?!"
And at this moment, Kai's scalp was already numb with embarrassment; he wanted to jump directly into the Star Lake.
However, at this moment, a light suddenly enveloped the wooden comb in front. Then, the light grew stronger and stronger, followed by a faint pink glow bursting forth from within.
Sister Xiao Wu was startled at first, then tears streamed from her eyes.
"It's... Mama's scent..."
Upon hearing this, Kai subconsciously asked: "Mama's scent? Is it spicy rabbit head or rabbit soup?"
The light grew stronger.
Then, a blurry figure actually appeared within it. As that figure became clearer and clearer, the surrounding lake water also seemed to boil, with energy fluctuations emanating from it.
"Boom!"
A massive pink pillar of light shot into the sky. The Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape excitedly looked at the figure within the pink pillar of light. Finally, under everyone's expectant gazes, that figure landed on the ground..
