Chapter 351 – Chapter 349-Immortal Peach (Taking Leave) _1

we don’t have anything good in our house, but these peaches are quite delicious. I’ll pick two for you to try.

“Grandpa! They have three people …”

Zhao youxuan pulled on the old man’s sleeve and whispered.

“What?”

The old man looked at her with a strange gaze, his eyes inexplicably carrying a touch of sadness.

A grown woman can’t be kept at home!

“Ahem.”

Seeing that there were benefits, Li Rui shamelessly called out Li Wei.

A stream of light condensed behind him. Half of his small head poked out and he looked at the two strangers timidly.

“Grandpa Zhao.”

Old man Zhao’s eyes lit up when he heard Li Wei calling him.

“Which family’s daughter is this? You’re so obedient. Come, eat the peach!”

The old man stretched out his hand and a plump peach fell into his hand. He then stuffed it into Li Wei’s hand.

Li Wei smiled sweetly as she held the peach that was about the size of her face and smelled the alluring fragrance of the fruit. “Thank you, Grandpa.”

“Be good! Good girl! No need to thank me! No need to thank me!”

Old man Zhao smiled as if he had seen his own granddaughter.

Then, he saw the anticipation in Li Rui’s eyes. His kind smile instantly disappeared, and his eyes suddenly became depressed. He looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle and sighed sadly.

“AI …”

Did he have to be treated so differently?!

Li Rui rolled his eyes in his heart. He knew that this treasure was not easy to get, so he could only sensibly reply.

“Grandpa Zhao, what’s bothering you? I wonder if we can be of any help?”

Old man Zhao’s eyes flashed with tears and he grabbed Li Rui with his iron-pincers like fingers. Li Rui’s bones hurt.

“Little Rui, are you really willing to help me?”

“Uh … This brat’s abilities are limited …”

“It’s no trouble at all, as long as you can take xuanxuan to school!”

Li Rui was speechless.

“Ha?”

……..

Walking out of the quiet Valley in a daze, Li Rui’s team had an excited yet sad figure.

Zhao youxuan had changed into a plain sportswear. She looked no different from a fifteen-or sixteen-year-old girl, except that she was too beautiful to be human.

She looked back at the valley with every step she took. The old man stood on the path and waved at them from a distance.

“Wuwuwu … Grandpa …”

Feeling her reluctance, Li Rui sighed and patted her shoulder.

“Let’s go. You can come back to see him during the holidays.”

“Wuwuwu …”

They pouted and were pushed away by Li Rui. The four of them quickly disappeared into the vast Valley.

After a long while, old man Zhao still stood in the same place, looking in the direction where Zhao youxuan had left, his eyes full of sadness.

Weng~

A stream of fiery red light shot down from the sky and instantly condensed into a human figure beside old man Zhao.

“You’re willing to give your precious granddaughter away?”

The person was wearing a fiery red Daoist robe, with white hair and a ruddy complexion. He looked about the same age as old man Zhao, but his skin was as smooth and delicate as a baby’s.

“The true Dragon in the prophecy has come, what else can I do?”

Old Zhao’s gaze was still looking into the distance, his turbid eyes filled with a strong sense of reluctance.

“Tian xingzi’s prophecy is a double-edged sword, you believe him?”

The old man sneered, his face full of disdain.

“I can’t not believe it … I … To protect … I can’t … She …”

Old man Zhao’s eyes were filled with pain, and his voice became weirder and weirder. In the end, it became a monster-like roar.

His body began to swell with huge tumors, and snake-like tentacles with scales grew on his face. Countless bloody wounds appeared on his exposed skin, and terrifying eyeballs protruded from them.

Clang~

A worn-out “wooden stick” on the wall of the thatched house suddenly burst out with a thick spiritual light that was visible to the naked eye. It turned into a black pillar of light and shot toward old man Zhao.

The ‘wooden stick’ floated above old Zhao’s head, and a terrifying sword intent resonated with it. Layers of ripples bloomed in the space around him, and all matter within the range was reduced to nothingness.

Even the red-robed old man frowned and retreated far away.

After a long time, the squirming and struggling tumors on old man Zhao’s body finally shrank back.

The eyeballs and tentacles slowly retracted, and the ” wooden stick ” fell into old man Zhao’s hand, supporting his body with difficulty.

“When did it become so serious? Why didn’t you tell me?”

“Hehe, what’s the point of telling you? This is the contamination of spirituality. I can only rely on myself … I can only rely on myself …”

Old man Zhao muttered to himself. His turbid eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of white film, making him look even more bizarre.

Taking a deep breath, old man Zhao stood up straight again, his blind eyes still looking in the direction where Zhao youxuan had left.

only the ‘Dragon’ can protect her. That child’s future should not be in this Savage Land!

“Let’s not talk about this. How long can you last?”

I still have one last chance in ten years …

Old man Zhao finally looked away and turned to his good friend.

if I fail, then I’ll have to trouble you to find a few more friends. By then, they should probably have divinity. After you kill me, don’t waste the materials. Eat and use them when you need them. Oh right, remember to leave some for xuanxuan.

“Are you sure your granddaughter wants those things?”

The red-robed old man didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“You guys can exchange it for something else.”

Old man Zhao smiled and looked into the distance again.

……

With Zhao youxuan, Li Rui and the others couldn’t go back to the city directly, so they could only go back to the Shushan base.

Looking at his system panel, Li Rui was both happy and annoyed.

Heavenly peaches!

I didn’t expect those to be real heavenly peaches!

Although it was not as perverted as the legends said, just extending one’s life by more than 100 years was a great deal. In the outside world, countless rich people would be willing to exchange for one even if they had to go bankrupt, right?

Not to mention that he still had a huge amount of health and mana. This time …

Li Rui paused and looked at Zhao youxuan, who was still confused. He blinked his eyes, and his heart was in a mess. He didn’t know if he had suffered a loss.

Logically speaking, since he had received such a great benefit from her, he should wholeheartedly help her fulfill her wish.

However, old Zhao was vague and only asked Li Rui to take Zhao youxuan to school and take care of her.

Take good care of … These three words had a lot of room for manipulation.

He would find her a school, buy her a house, settle her down, and give her a sum of money. This was considered taking good care of her.

He treated her like family, taught her all the common sense on earth, and worried about her for the rest of her life. This was also taking good care of her.
