Xiao Qianchuan looked over and saw that it was the cook of the castle.

"Oh my! How can the guests come here? My ingredients are not ready yet! Are you so impatient to taste the most delicious original flavor?"

Everyone's eyes moved down to the cook's hands.

The old woman was holding a winnowing basket in her hand, which was filled with a lot of insects, which were twisting and wriggling as they tried to crawl out.

The cook pulled a sticky fleshworm from the cocoon silk nearby and threw it in, then picked up the worm hanging on the edge of the bamboo strips.

Seeing that no one responded, she didn't get angry. Every wrinkle on her face was trying to force a smile.

"Everyone, please go back to the restaurant and wait. I will finish processing these ingredients soon, and I will definitely prepare a good breakfast for today."

Once insects are cooked into exquisitely presented foods, they are not so unacceptable.

But when they appear before your eyes, alive and kicking, one can't help but feel a chill all over one's body.

Lanbo's sense of danger has always been accurate, and they can't afford to offend this NPC.

He scratched his head and laughed at the cook.

"Ah! Then you are busy, we won't bother you. It's hard work! It's hard work!"

After saying that, Lanbo held Xiao Qianchuan's arm with one hand and grabbed Newt's collar with the other and was about to retreat out of the cave.

But he had just taken two steps when he was pushed away by a thin hand.

Lan Bo couldn't help but glare at Xiao Qianchuan, not understanding what this young master was doing again?

Xiao Qianchuan and the cook's eyes met through the giant cocoon. The latter was stunned for a moment, then put on a kind smile.

Xiao Qianchuan said in a serious tone, "We can't get out. Foley and Mantis are fighting up there."

The corners of the cook's mouth tightened, but she quickly smiled again, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

"Hey! These two kids have loved to fight since they were little. The younger sister is willful, and the older brother doesn't know how to give in."

"They have awakened their bloodline power."

Xiao Qianchuan's words completely broke the cook's disguise of indifference.

The dustpan in the latter's hand fell to the ground with a thud, and the smile on his face was instantly replaced by anxiety.

"How could this happen? They haven't been back to Inset Castle for many years. It's impossible..."

As she spoke, she seemed to suddenly think of something and her expression changed.

The cook picked up her apron that was in the way, and without paying any attention to the swarm of insects under her feet, she stepped on a ground full of broken meat and blood, and ran straight towards Xiao Qianchuan.

Everyone was startled, and Wood quickly stepped back, raising his gun to warn.

"Stop, or I..."

But before Wood could finish his words, the other party passed through the entire cave at an extremely astonishing speed and stopped in front of them.

Wood's words were stuck, but the other party's actions were not.

Everyone watched helplessly as the cook with strange steps flew towards Xiao Qianchuan, but they were unable to stop her.

Lan Bo's heart was in his throat.

Then he saw the old witch kneel down in front of Xiao Qianchuan with a thud.

The powerful NPC who triggered his danger alert actually knelt down before a player?

The development of the plot was too magical for Lanbo to understand and accept.

The look he gave Xiao Qianchuan was quite complicated, and contained a hint of admiration that he himself was not aware of.

Xiao Qianchuan lowered his eyes and looked at the cook who was crawling at his feet. Her kneeling posture was the same as that of the fire ghost before.

Just as cautious and humble.

Xiao Qianchuan didn't look surprised at the other party's action.

Xiao Qianchuan had guessed this when the cook insisted on waiting for him to arrive at the restaurant before starting the meal.

This person might know something about the inside story of the Insette family, so his attitude towards him is unusual.

However, after he said that Foley and Mantis awakened their bloodlines and transformed into insect monsters, the sudden change in the expression on the cook's face made Xiao Qianchuan confirm his other guess.

"Please, save my child, my Lord."

This sentence contained too much information, and Lan Bo, as a player, was unable to understand it for a moment.

The indigenous NPCs Newt and Wood, who were born in this world and grew up in this era, also failed to understand the meaning of those words.

The cook's child? Who is it?

Why should we save them? Who will save them?

Who is the ancestor?

Isn't that Master Billy?

Many questions filled the minds of the three people, and countless clues confused their cognition like a hurricane.

Perhaps, they actually know the answer in their hearts, but they just don't dare to believe it.

Newt looked at the gentle and harmless boy in front of him and suddenly felt that this person was terrifyingly unfamiliar.

"who are you?"

"Me? I'm from the Inset family!"

There is nothing wrong with what Xiao Qianchuan said, as the ancestor of the Inset family was also a member of the Inset family.

But this was not the answer Newt wanted to hear.

He wanted to ask more questions, but was interrupted by Wood behind him.

"Who do you say your child is? Whose mother are you?"

Wood's brain was a little confused.

He was not good at calculating, so he just asked the question that concerned him most based on instinct.

And expect the answer to be something other than what he expected.

The cook ignored Wood and just kept begging the ancestor in front of her.

"Master First, please save them. Foley and Mantis are just children!"
