"Grandma …"
Hao Ren sat on the edge of the bed and held Grandma's wrist.
After Lu Linlin and Lu Lili's treatment, Grandma, who was usually glowing, seemed to have aged many years in just one day.
Hao Ren was now equivalent to the Nascent Soul Realm. Holding Grandma's wrist, he could feel that all the meridians in her body were still broken.
The most serious thing was not the shattering of his meridians, but the traces of demonic energy that had seeped into his meridians. Even the five-elemental cultivation technique couldn't deal with this devil essence. Only the hundun lightning energy could destroy it, but a mortal's body couldn't withstand the heavenly lightning.
Hao Ren wanted to squeeze out a comforting smile, but he could feel Grandma's condition. She was still gloomy and sorrowful.
"Grandma has been very happy in the past few years. It's a pity that I can't see Linlin and Lili again. My body is at its best with these two little girls by my side, "Grandma looked at Hao Ren and said slowly.
"Grandma … Don't say that," Hao Ren tried to calm her down after hearing what she said.
"I know my body." Grandma nodded slightly and looked at Hao Ren calmly. "It can't last much longer. You look energetic now, but you won't be able to in a few days. "
Hao Ren was silent.
"I'm always joking around, but I'm actually keeping an eye on you. Zi and Yujia are both good girls. Pick one carefully and don't let them down. "
"Ok …" Hao Ren lowered his head.
Grandma was eclectic and seemed to want every girl, but she had been trying to find the most suitable granddaughter-in-law for Hao Ren.
However, the more she looked at them, the more dazzled she became. She felt that all the girls were good, and she couldn't let go of any one of them. That was why she left the decision to Hao Ren.
Her wish was to hold a great-grandson in her arms, but it seemed that she wouldn't have such a chance.
"Tell your dad not to spend too much money and save money for your wedding. I know the things in the hospital cost tens of thousands of yuan a day," Grandma continued.
"Grandma, you'll get better." Hao Ren held Grandma's wrist tightly.
Tears welled up in his eyes, but he didn't want to cry in front of Grandma. Just like Grandma said, boys should have the spirit of a boy. They should fight for what they should and give up what they should.
"Little Su didn't come. Did something happen to her?" Grandma suddenly asked.
"She …" Hao Ren hesitated for a few seconds. "She's sick."
"Alas, this girl doesn't seem to cherish herself." Grandma sighed softly.
"Congming and Wu Luoxue both came today. I think they are good friends, and they might be able to be a couple when they grow up," Grandma said.
Hao Ren smiled. This was good news.
"Zi even introduced a little girl to me today. Her name is Zhao Baibai, and she said that she's her cousin. She looks fun, and she's really close to me. I don't know why, but she looks familiar to me, "Grandma said.
Grandma purposely tried to lighten Hao Ren's mood. Hao Ren stayed with Grandma and smiled from time to time.
Grandma talked more and more. It seemed that it had been a long time since she chatted so intimately with her grandson. Hao Ren suddenly realized that ever since he turned to cultivation, there had been more and more things to do. It had been a long time since he spent time with Grandma.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili often chatted with Grandma to relieve her boredom, but Grandma also looked forward to chatting with her grandson.
Sometimes, it wasn't that the elders were being long-winded; they just wanted to talk to the younger generation. Hao Ren cared about Grandma, but he didn't spend enough time with her.
It was midnight when Hao Ren went out to make some hot water for Grandma. Suddenly, he saw Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia sitting on the bench in the hallway outside the ward, still waiting for him.
They were dozing off shoulder to shoulder with their hands linked together. When they saw Hao Ren walking out of the ward, they woke up and asked, "How's Grandma?"
Hao Ren looked at them helplessly. He didn't expect them to stay in the cold hallway until midnight. He sighed lightly and said, "I thought you all went back. Why didn't you come in?"
"Grandma was talking to you inside. She didn't ask us to come in," Zhao Yanzi said.
Hao Ren rolled his eyes. "It's not a big deal. Let's go in. It's so cold outside."
Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia held each other's hands and finally stood up. They pushed the door open carefully and entered the ward.
Hao Ren looked at them and shook his head helplessly. He was a little touched. Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia were lonely in nature, and they were considerate of each other. This was the best.
He went back with a bottle of hot water and saw Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia standing on either side of Grandma's bed, washing her face and hands.
Grandma didn't expect them to wait outside instead of going back. Her heart ached for them.
"Don't go back so late. There's an empty bed here. You can sleep until tomorrow," Grandma said.
"Ok!" Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia nodded hard.
They planned to spend the night with their grandma. They didn't think they could do much to help their grandma. Staying with her was the best they could do.
This ward was specially arranged by Bai Ze. Not only was it equipped with air conditioner, microwave, and TV, but it was also well ventilated, facing the sun, and quiet. It was one of the best wards in Eastern Hospital.
Zhao Hongyu and Zhao Guang took Zhao Baibai, the little loli that Little White had turned into. Yue Yang and Hao Zhonghua wanted to stay with Grandma, but Grandma asked Hao Ren to. Considering that Hao Ren had to go to school during the day, they went back as well.
Grandma didn't expect Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia to stay with Grandma. After all, Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia weren't her biological granddaughters, but they showed their filial piety.
In the early morning, Bai Ze came to check on Grandma in her white coat. As the Vice Director of Eastern Hospital, she didn't have to be on duty. However, she stayed here to guard Grandma.
Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia were lying on the bed with each other under the white quilt. They had fallen asleep.
Hao Ren stayed by Grandma's bed and kept a close eye on her. When he saw Bai Ze come in, he stood up quietly.
"I used a secret technique to suppress the devil essence, and it won't be a big problem for a week or two," Bai Ze looked at Grandma and said lightly.
Hao Ren nodded, knowing what Bai Ze meant. She couldn't be sure after a week or two.
Bai Ze looked at Hao Ren and said, "Su Han is already in the hospital."
"Oh?" Hao Ren looked at her in surprise.
"She's next door. Yue Zilong, the Deputy Shrine Master of the Dragon God Shrine, sent her here," Bai Ze said.
Hao Ren looked back at Grandma who was sleeping soundly. Knowing that Grandma would be fine for the time being, he turned and walked to the door.
Bai Ze led Hao Ren into Su Han's ward and saw Su Han lying quietly on the white hospital bed, in a deep sleep.
"The devil essence in her body is heavier than the one in your grandma's, and I've done the same treatment. However, the consequences of a cultivator's broken meridians are more serious than that of a mortal's, especially when Su Han is at peak Qian-level. Her Heavenly Tribulation was interrupted, and the devil essence has invaded her mystic crystal and dragon core," Bai Ze said.
"How long can she last?" Hao Ren asked.
"About the same as your grandma. One to two weeks." Bai Ze stood by the bed and looked at Su Han calmly. "The first week is fine. In the second week, she must have a Soul Formation Realm cultivator to keep her alive. In the third week, no one will be able to save her."
Hao Ren clenched his fists, and his knuckles cracked.
Xu Ke had swallowed Taiyi Cave Master's primary soul with his co-soul when he was severely injured by Premier Xia. Now, he had merged with Taiyi Cave Master and was resting somewhere. He could come out at any time.
"I've done what I could. If the Shrine Master of the Dragon God Shrine didn't ask me for mercy, I wouldn't have helped Su Han." Bai Ze looked at Hao Ren and said, "I know that you came back empty-handed from Kunlun Mountain because those Soul Formation Realm cultivators don't know how to open the Ageless Godly Spring. If you want to save Su Han and your grandma, you have to fight in the Heavenly Realm."
Seeing no response from Hao Ren, Bai Ze continued, "I'll take care of your grandma and Su Han. As long as I'm in East Ocean City, the injured devil dragon won't dare to come out. But in a week or two, it should be the time for him to recover. "
Hao Ren gritted his teeth, feeling that time was running out.
"You must hurry up. The Heavenly Dao has changed, and Qiu Niu has abdicated, and Ya Zi has appeared. He would rather kill a thousand people than let a single one go. Your grandma is a mortal, and her devil essence is weak, so I can cover it up for her. However, Su Han is a peak Qian-level dragon cultivator, and she will emit layers of devil essence as time goes by. It's hard to guarantee that he won't kill Su Han to prevent future troubles. "
Bai Ze's next words startled Hao Ren.
Su Han chose to pass the Heavenly Tribulation on the day when the Heavenly Dao rotated, and Taiyi Cave Master chose to turn into a devil on the day when the Heavenly Dao rotated. Both of them were taking advantage of the fact that the natural order was weak on this day. However, Hao Ren almost neglected this new 'Ancestral Dragon'.
He was strong-willed, bloodthirsty, and loved to fight. He could destroy all kinds of evil spirits.
If Qiu Niu still cared about relationships, then Ya Zi, who was a loner, would kill for peace in the world!
Su Han, who had devil essence in her body that could change at any time, might be his target!
Every few thousand years, the world would use the power of Ya Zi to wash away all the filth, but this would result in countless innocent killings!
"I've warned you. I don't want to get involved in the conflicts of the world. If Ya Zi attacks us, I won't do anything," Bai Ze said.
Hao Ren nodded.
Bai Ze lived in seclusion in the mortal world and didn't want to expose her identity because she didn't want to get involved in these conflicts. She had helped a lot by keeping Grandma and Su Han alive.
No one stayed in her ward to take care of her, making her look lonely. Since the Dragon God Shrine was in a mess, the nine Deputy Shrine Masters who were fighting with Taiyi Cave Master all had traces of devil essence in their bodies, and they were trying to force the devil essence out in the Dragon God Shrine. Besides, none of the other inspectors was suitable to take care of Su Han.
Hum!
Hao Ren closed his eyes and opened them when a golden light flashed outside the window. When he opened his eyes again, he saw a female cultivator in white standing in the ward. (To be continued.
