Lu Wanqing was overjoyed to hear her third brother agree, but then she turned to ask for the opinion of Ya Ya's mother.
"Sang Sang, can I feed Ya Ya?" Lu Wanqing asked cautiously.
Lin Sang looked at her and said gratefully, "Thank you."
Lu Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to the cage.
Lu Yang reached out and pressed on the cage, "I'll do it."
Qing Qing was just an ordinary person. Although Ya Ya was small, she was still a mutated human. Just like with Harvey earlier, even though Ya Ya was small and weak, a single whip would still hurt. He couldn't bear for Qing Qing to be in pain.
"She's not like ordinary people. It'll be more convenient if I hold her and you feed her," Lu Yang said.
Lu Wanqing smiled and agreed, "Okay."
Little Harvey didn't hold a grudge either. Seeing his uncle and mother about to bring his little sister out, he got excited again, his eyes sparkling as he looked at his sister in the cage.
Lu Yang opened the cage.
Little Ya Ya, inside the cage, immediately retreated defensively.
Lu Yang carefully picked up the child.
Ya Ya's hands instantly turned into branches, ready to strike, but as her little branches were raised, they suddenly froze as if grabbed by something, unable to move.
Little Ya Ya clearly noticed something was wrong. Fear appeared on her face, her expression contorted as she tried to wave her arms.
"Don't move, we're just going to feed you," Lu Yang threatened in a low voice.
What could a three-year-old cub understand about threats?
Hearing Lu Yang's threat, she felt something was wrong. She was initially stunned and quiet for a few seconds. However, after a few seconds, feeling that nothing happened, she wanted to swing her little whip again and hit the bad guy!
But...
She couldn't swing it!
The little girl held her breath and tried, tried hard!!!
"Wuwuwuwu..." Ya Ya cried. She felt that in the embrace of this uncle, her hands didn't seem to belong to her. This uncle exuded a terrifying sense of oppression, which was very frightening. The little cub was scared and cried.
When the child cried, Lu Yang's hands holding her became flustered. He instinctively turned to look at Qing Qing.
Lu Wanqing also got anxious and quickly reached out to take the little girl from her third brother's arms, holding her and coaxing, "Don't cry, don't cry. Uncle didn't mean it. Ya Ya, do you want to eat? If you don't eat, your tummy will be hungry~"
"Sister, eat!" Little Harvey was also anxious and said anxiously from the side, his eyes fixed on his sister.
But three-year-old Ya Ya had lived in the forest with her mother since birth and didn't understand any of this. She was scared, she cried, and she forgot all about hitting bad guys with her little branches.
Lin Sang, in the large cage, saw her daughter crying so miserably and became anxious. She quickly put down her bowl and reached out to hold Ya Ya.
Lu Wanqing saw Lin Sang and quickly handed little Ya Ya over. The little cub's branches immediately extended towards her mother in the cage.
Lin Sang grabbed her daughter's little branches, and the branches instantly turned back into cute little hands.
Little Ya Ya tried hard to get closer to her mother's cage, but the cage blocked them.
"I'll feed her," Lin Sang said.
Lu Wanqing looked at her third brother.
Lu Yang nodded, "Okay."
Lu Yang opened the large cage, put little Ya Ya inside, and then brought her food bowl in.
Lin Sang looked at them. She was silent for a moment, then said gratefully, "Thank you."
Ouyang Jian arrived at the camp after dark. He came in a hurry and was even more anxious. As soon as he entered, he wanted to see Lin Sang and her daughter.
Lin Sang and her daughter had already finished eating and were resting in the cage.
Ouyang Jian walked in and froze when he saw the mother and daughter in the cage. However, he quickly quickened his pace.
Lin Sang sensed movement and immediately turned her head vigilantly. Her fierce, guarded expression froze when she saw that the person was Ouyang Jian. The next moment, tears suddenly welled up in her eyes, and she cried.
Even little Ya Ya looked curiously at the man who had suddenly appeared.
Ouyang Jian took a deep breath, walked towards the woman and child, and finally knelt in front of the cage.
Ouyang Jian reached out, wanting to hold Lin Sang's hand.
Lin Sang also reached out and took Ouyang Jian's hand.
Ouyang Jian said gently, "Don't be afraid. Ah Yang can cure you."
"Really?" Lin Sang's voice trembled slightly, and she was nervous.
Ouyang Jian smiled and then nodded firmly, "If it were anyone else, I wouldn't dare to promise you, but this person is Ah Yang."
"Sang Sang, you must have heard of him. He has another identity in your region; he is the Emperor of the Empire," Ouyang Jian said with a smile.
Lin Sang's eyes widened in disbelief.
Ouyang Jian smiled and said, "So, trust me, and trust Ah Yang, okay?"
Lin Sang cried and gripped Ouyang Jian's hand tightly, nodding quickly, "Yes!"
For the next week, Ouyang Jian treated Lin Sang and little Ya Ya. The treatment involved using his immense mental power to enter their consciousness, gently guiding the chaotic mental energy within their minds. This process was imperceptible to outsiders. All Lu Wanqing could see was that her third brother's complexion turned slightly pale and he seemed very tired after each treatment.
Lu Wanqing was extremely worried, fearing that her third brother might be in danger. Several times she wanted to stop the treatment, but her third brother did not give up. Ouyang Jian was his good friend, a friend of thousands of years. He had to save Ouyang Jian's wife and daughter.
A week later, the treatment finally ended. Lin Sang and little Ya Ya had returned to normal. Especially Lin Sang, there were no more leaves on her head, and she looked like an ordinary person. However, Lu Yang had fainted. The treatments over the past few days had consumed a great deal of his mental energy.
Lu Yang was unconscious for three full days. During these three days, they rushed back to Tianxing Main City, and Ouyang Jian put Lu Yang in a medical pod for emergency treatment.
Lu Wanqing stayed by the medical pod for three days without leaving. Her heart was in turmoil and full of anxiety. Fortunately, after three days, her third brother woke up.
"Third brother!" Lu Wanqing, standing by the medical pod, saw her third brother wake up and immediately reached out, nervously taking his hand.
A look of confusion flashed in Lu Yang's eyes, but he quickly regained his senses. His large hand tightly grasped Lu Wanqing's small hand and he reassured her, "I'm fine."
Lu Wanqing's eyes instantly reddened. She quickly asked, "Third brother, why did you faint? Does using mental power to treat others harm your mind?"
"I'm fine," Lu Yang reassured her.
Ouyang Jian stood to the side.
Lu Yang glanced at Ouyang Jian, then looked at Lu Wanqing and said, "Qing Qing, could you go out for a while? I need to talk to Ouyang about something, okay?"
"I don't want to," Lu Wanqing refused.
Lu Wanqing held her third brother's hand tightly, her heart filled with anxiety and unease. "Third brother, you are not allowed to save others like this again in the future."
