"Cave Master!" Snake Skin rushed to Niu Yingng and cried out in a panic, his voice urgent.
Niu Yingng was surprised. "Snake Skin, what's the matter? Why are you so panicked? Calm down."
So many years had passed, and Snake Skin and the other mountain lords who had survived had all reached the Foundation Establishnt stage.
However, due to the shrinking territory of the demon race in the ongoing wars, they were unable to beco cave masters themselves. Niu Yingng remained the cave master here, their leader.
Snake Skin gasped. "Cave Master, Mr. Shit and Brother Tie Dan are back! They've returned!"
"What!" Niu Yingng was shocked, suddenly stood up, and asked incredulously. "Are you sure?"
Snake Skin nodded vigorously. "They're back! I saw them myself!"
After her initial surprise, Niu Yingng sat down again, tears welling in her eyes. "But why didn't it co to imdiately? After all this ti..."
Snake Skin was montarily speechless, inwardly cursing Tie Dan as a heartless ox. What was he thinking?
"Cave Master, perhaps Mr. Shit and the others just returned and have many things to arrange. They couldn't get away right away," Snake Skin quickly explained for Tie Dan, trying to smooth things over.
Niu Yingng shook her head stubbornly. "Anyway, if it doesn't co to , I won't go to it. I have my pride."
Snake Skin muttered to himself, "I really don't understand won!"
Just then, a deep voice ca from outside. "Niu Yingng! Co out here!"
The previously defiant Niu Yingng imdiately stood up and flew outside upon hearing the voice, her composure breaking.
However, upon reaching the door, she suddenly landed, her expression returning to calm. She walked slowly outside, trying to appear unaffected.
Outside, Tie Dan stood upright, his eyes slightly red as he stared ahead at the entrance, his heart pounding.
He had already heard from Snake Skin that Niu Yingng had given birth to a calf, his child. In that instant, his longing surged like a spring, making him desperately want to see her.
After hurriedly consulting with Xu Ning, he imdiately ran over without a second thought.
At this mont, Niu Yingng also ca out, her face cold and distant. "What are you doing here? Why have you co?"
Tie Dan was stunned upon seeing this, and was imdiately at a loss for words. He didn't know how to explain himself, his mouth opening and closing.
Niu Yingng's voice was icy. "Since there's nothing else, then please go back. I'm busy."
Tie Dan gritted his teeth, quickly stepped forward, and pulled Niu Yingng into his arms, holding her tightly. He said forcefully, "Let explain! Please, just listen."
Although Niu Yingng appeared cold, her heart was fluttering, and she nodded coldly. "I'll give you two minutes. Talk fast."
Tie Dan didn't waste any words. He directly lowered his head to kiss her, their two large bull heads intertwining.
Then, Tie Dan carried Niu Yingng directly into the cave, out of sight.

After an unknown amount of ti, Tie Dan embraced Niu Yingng and whispered, his voice gentle. "You know, my older brother is very capable. When we were little, he chose , and I've followed him ever since. For a very long ti."

"He's leaving, and I have to follow. I can't forget his kindness to . Niu Yingng, I hope you can understand . He's family."
Niu Yingng's voice was soft. "You're certainly doing right by your brother, but what about ? What about Tie Shi? We needed you too."
Tie Dan sighed. "I'm sorry! I could only choose one. When I left, I finally understood why my brother always viewed love as a monstrous beast, sothing to be avoided at all costs! Because it hurts so much. So incredibly painful. I didn't want to hurt you more."
Niu Yingng asked, "So, I'm just a sacrifice to your relationship? Sothing to be abandoned?"
Tie Dan held her tighter. "Yingng, I'm sorry. If I had stayed then, we would still have faced separation in the future. It was inevitable."
"The only way I can stop this pain is to stay with my elder brother so I won't have to watch you leave. I couldn't bear it."
Niu Yingng was taken aback. "What do you an? What are you saying?"
Tie Dan's voice was mysterious. "I can't say more than that. You'll understand later. Just trust ."
Niu Yingng pressed. "Okay, even if what you say is true, I want to ask you. What's with the bloodline in Tie Shi's body? Whose bloodline is it? It's powerful."
Tie Dan said simply, "Mine. It cos from ."
Niu Yingng shook her head. "Impossible. I can't sense any bloodline aura from you. You're ordinary."
Tie Dan didn't waste any words. His aura suddenly emanated from his body, and the ancient, powerful aura from the Ancient God Seed made Niu Yingng's breath catch in her throat. It was overwhelming.
Tie Dan withdrew his aura and then spoke, "Yingng, when I followed my elder brother, I was just a mortal calf. Everything I have was given to by my elder brother! This isn't bloodline, but my aura. It's all his doing."
Niu Yingng was stunned. "So, my elder brother transford you from a mortal calf into an Ancient God Seed? He made you what you are?"
At this mont, all the doubts in Niu Yingng's heart were resolved. The mystery of Tie Dan's power was solved.
No wonder she had never sensed any bloodline aura from Tie Dan. He didn't possess any bloodline at all. He was the first, the original. He was the bloodline creator.
Tie Dan nodded seriously. "You can't reveal anything about my and my brother's secret. Understand? It's vital."
Niu Yingng nodded. "I know what's important. I understand the danger."
If the demon race knew that soone could make them into ancient divine beings, they would go crazy with greed. They would hunt them down.
Tie Dan said, "I'm still worried. Co with to see my brother. He can explain more."
Niu Yingng hesitated. "? Are you sure?"
Tie Dan nodded. "Let's go! And take Tie Shi with you!" Tie Dan was also very eager to see his calf, his son.
Afterward, the two oxen found Tie Shi and took him to see Xu Ning.

Inside the thatched hut, Xu Ning kept looking at Tie Dan and his family of three, his face full of surprise. He hadn't expected this.
"You an, the cave master gave birth to your child?" Xu Ning asked Tie Dan, looking at Tie Shi.
Tie Dan nodded, gesturing to the black ox with dark red markings beside him. "Isn't that it! That's my son."
Xu Ning stroked his chin. "And then? What are you trying to say? What do you want?"
Tie Dan said, "Nothing much. Just brought it over for you to see. I wanted to show you my family."
Xu Ning nodded, looking at Tie Shi. "You little calf, you're really sothing! A bright future awaits you. You have strong blood."
Tie Dan looked at Tie Shi. "You go out first. Your mother and I have sothing to say to your uncle."
Tie Shi obediently nodded, turned, and walked out, closing the door behind him.
After the door closed, Tie Dan looked at Xu Ning and said sowhat embarrassedly, "Xu Ning, could you help Yingng level up? She's in the Foundation Establishnt stage and has encountered a bottleneck. She can't advance."
Xu Ning glared. "Is that what you're planning? You brought her here for this?"
Niu Yingng stood to the side, sowhat uneasy. The man in front of her was once her mountain lord, and his strength was currently only at the Qi Refining stage, yet he was putting imnse pressure on her with his presence. She was intimidated.
Tie Dan pleaded. "I've gotten emotionally attached. I can't help it. Please help her."
Xu Ning gave Tie Dan a disappointed look, then looked helplessly at Niu Yingng and asked, "What rank are you now? What level is your bottleneck?"
Niu Yingng was taken aback, then answered respectfully, "Big Brother, I'm a low-grade Yuan rank. I've been stuck for years."
Xu Ning nodded and took out so Yuan rank spiritual herbs to feed Niu Yingng, carefully selecting them.
As she ate, Niu Yingng's body began to change, eventually transforming into the shape of a small heifer, more compact and powerful.
Imdiately afterward, her aura and spiritual power began to fluctuate, slowly upgrading from low-grade Yuan level to mid-grade Yuan level. She advanced.
After a long while, Niu Yingng opened her eyes, her eyes filled with surprise and gratitude. "Thank you, Big Brother! I feel amazing."
This upgrade caused her cultivation level to drop slightly, but the bottleneck that had been hindering her for so long had disappeared at this mont. She was free.
Xu Ning waved his hand. "You go back first. I'll borrow your husband for a while. We have things to discuss."
Niu Yingng blushed, nodded, and left quickly, taking Tie Shi with her.
Then Xu Ning looked at Tie Dan, his expression serious.
