This little cub seemed even younger than Gaiyin, obediently kneeling on the ground, ready to prostrate himself.
Su Tang hastily stepped forward to help him up while Qiu Mo assisted the elderly woman.
"Granny, there's no need for this, we've only temporarily driven them away. They may well come back," Su Tang assured her.
However, the old woman insisted that the cub bow in gratitude. Su Tang couldn't convince her otherwise and complied with her wishes.
Afterward, the granny held the cub in her arms again, tenderly stroking his face.
"I don't know who you are, but you saved both me and the cub today, and for that, I am extremely grateful. Whatever you wish to know, provided that I am aware, I will not hesitate to tell you."
Su Tang glanced at Gaiyin, then took a step forward and asked, "When did the ruler of the kingdom start issuing orders to capture the younglings? Do you know what they want the cubs for?"
The old woman sighed deeply, her gaze wandering off into the distance.
