"Grandma..."

Hao Ren sat on the edge of the bed and held Grandma's wrist.

Despite Lu L琳琳 and Lu 莉莉's treatment, Grandma, who usually had a rosy complexion, seemed to have aged many more years in just one day.

Hao Ren was now at the equivalent realm of Core Formation. He could feel through his grip on Grandma's wrist that her meridians were still fractured throughout her body.

But what was even worse than the fractures was the faint demonic energy permeating her meridians. This type of demonic energy couldn't be dealt with by the Five Elements techniques, and only Chaos Thunderforce might be able to eliminate it. But how could a mortal's body withstand heavenly thunder

Hao Ren wanted to force a comforting smile, but upon feeling Grandma's condition, he still looked gloomy and sorrowful.

"I've been very happy these years. Unfortunately, I won't be able to see Linlin and Lili again. These two little girls were with me when I felt my best." Grandma looked at Hao Ren and said slowly.

"Grandma... don't talk like this," Hao Ren hurriedly persuaded her upon hearing the implication in her words.

"My body, I know it well enough myself." Grandma nodded slightly and looked steadily at Hao Ren. "I can't hold on for long. Right now I still look spirited, but after a few more days..."

Hao Ren was silent.

"You always see me laughing and joking around, but in fact, I'm paying attention to you all the time. Purple, Rujia, they're both good girls. Choose one carefully; don't let them down."

“Mm...” Hao Ren lowered his head.

Grandma seemed to want every girl she met as a potential daughter-in-law, but in reality, she had been assessing the best match for Hao Ren all along.

The more girls she observed, however, the harder it was for her to choose. She felt that each one was suitable and didn't want to give up any of them, so ultimately, she left it to Hao Ren's own decision.

Her wish was to hold a great-grandchild in her arms someday, but unfortunately, it seemed there wouldn't be such an opportunity now.

"Tell your father not to spend too much money. Save up for your wedding; I know how expensive things are here in the hospital," Grandma continued.

“Grandma, you'll get better,” Hao Ren tightened his grip on Grandma's wrist.

Tears welled up in his eyes but he didn't want to cry in front of Grandma. Just as she said, boys should have a certain spirit: fight for what they must and let go of what they must.

"Su, why isn't the little girl here Could she be busy with something" Granny suddenly asked.

"She... She's sick,"郝仁 hesitated for a few seconds before answering.

"Sigh, this girl doesn’t seem to take good care of herself." Granny sighed softly.

"Qingming and Wu Luoxue came today. I see they get along quite well; there's a chance they'll end up together when they grow older," Granny mentioned.

郝仁 smiled, considering this to be good news.

"Today, Zi also introduced me to a little girl named Zhao Baibai, saying she’s her cousin. She seems quite playful and very close to me. I can't help but feel familiar with her," Granny added.

Apparently wanting to ease郝仁's sadness, Granny purposely brought up cheerful topics. 郝仁 stayed by his grandmother's side, often smiling in response.

Granny continued talking more and more, as if it had been a long time since she’d had such close chats with her grandson. 郝仁 suddenly realized that ever since he started focusing on cultivation, he hadn't spent much quality time with his grandmother.

Luli and Lili could often be there to chat and entertain Granny, but Granny also looked forward to communicating with her grandson.

Often it wasn’t the elders being intentionally nagging; they simply wanted to speak with their juniors. 郝仁 cared for his grandmother in his heart, but he hadn’t spent enough time by her side.

The night wore on like this until 郝仁 went out to get hot water for Granny and noticed Zhao Yanzǐ and Xie Yujia sitting together on a long bench outside the ward. They were still waiting there.

With their shoulders touching and hands entwined, they had both fallen asleep but woke up suddenly when they saw 郝仁 emerge from the room.

"How is Granny" they asked in unison.

郝仁 helplessly looked at them. He hadn’t expected them to stay out so late on this chilly corridor. Sighing softly, he said, "I thought you all had left already. Why didn't you come in"

"Granny was talking with you and didn’t ask us to join," Zhao Yanzǐ explained.

郝仁 rolled his eyes. "Honestly, there wasn’t anything important happening. Come on inside; it’s so cold out here."

Zhao Yanzǐ and Xie Yujia held hands as they got up and carefully entered the room.

Looking at them, 郝仁 shook his head helplessly. Zhao Yanzǐ and Xie Yujia were essentially very lonely individuals, and their mutual understanding and care for each other was best possible.

He brought a bottle of hot water back to the room and saw that Zhao Yanzǐ and Xie Yujia had taken turns sitting by Granny’s bedside, washing her face and hands.

Granny was particularly touched that they hadn’t gone home and were waiting outside.

"It's so late, there's no need to go back. There's an empty bed here; you can stay until tomorrow," Grandmother said.

“Okay!” Both Zhao Yanzǐ and Xiè Yujia nodded vigorously.

Their original plan was to spend the night with their grandmother, as they felt that they couldn't do much for her situation. Staying by her side was all they could manage.

This ward was specially arranged by Bai Ze; it was fully equipped with air conditioning, microwave ovens, televisions, and more. It was also well-ventilated, sunny, and quiet—among the best wards in Eastern Hospital.

The little loli form of Little White, "Zhao Bái", was taken back by Zhao Hongyu and Zhao Guang. Although Yue Yang and Hao Zhonghua wanted to accompany their grandmother, she insisted that Hao Ren stay with her. Considering Hao Ren had classes the next day, they returned home.

For Zhao Yanzǐ and Xiè Yujia to voluntarily stay here was unexpected for their grandmother. Technically, they were not her biological granddaughters, but their willingness to do so demonstrated true filial piety.

In the early hours of the morning, Bai Ze, in her white coat, came specially to check on Grandmother's condition. She didn't need to be on duty as she was vice president of Eastern Hospital, but by staying here, she was actually guarding.

Zhao Yanzǐ and Xiè Yujia were nestled together under the white blanket in the bed, fast asleep.

Hao Ren kept a close watch on Grandmother's condition. When he saw Bai Ze enter, he quietly got up.

"The demonic energy has been temporarily suppressed by my secret technique; there won't be major issues for one or two weeks," Bai Ze said calmly after looking at her.

Hao Ren nodded. He understood that beyond one to two weeks, it couldn't be guaranteed.

Bai Ze looked at Hao Ren and added, "Su Han is already in the hospital."

“What” Hao Ren gazed at her with surprise.

"She's in the ward next to next. She was brought here by Deputy Chamberlain Yue Zilong of Dragon Temple," Bai Ze said.

Hao Ren glanced back at his sleeping grandmother, knowing she would be fine temporarily. He then turned and walked towards the door.

Bai Ze led Hao Ren into Su Han's ward to see her lying quietly in a white bed, still maintaining the position of deep sleep.

"The demonic energy inside her body is heavier than what your grandmother has. I've treated it similarly, but shattered meridians for cultivators have more severe consequences compared to ordinary people. Especially since Su Han is at the peak Qian level and had her tribulation interrupted, allowing demonic energy to invade her crystal core and dragon embryo," Bai Ze said.

"How long can she hold on" Hao Ren asked.

“About a week to two weeks. During the first week, it’s not too urgent, but by the second week, there needs to be a high-level cultivator at the Transcendent stage to keep her alive, and by the third week, no one can save her,” Bai Ze calmly replied while standing beside Su Han's bed.

Hao Ren clenched his fist, causing a crackling sound.

Xu Ke took advantage of the moment when Taiyi Cave Lord was severely injured by Chancellor Xia and used his secondary soul to consume the main soul. Now he is merging with Taiyi Cave Lord and resting somewhere, ready to reappear at any time.

"I've done what I could," Bai Ze said as she looked at Hao Ren. "If it weren't for the Hallmaster of the Dragon Shrine pleading on my behalf, I wouldn't have intervened in Su Han's matter." "I know you returned empty-handed from Kunlun Mountain; even those Spirit Transformation cultivators don’t know how to activate the Eternal Spring. If you want to save Su Han and your grandmother, you’ll have to make a desperate attempt in the upper realm."

Seeing that Hao Ren didn't respond, Bai Ze added, "I will take care of your grandmother and Su Han. As long as I am in Donghai City, the injured魔龍 (Malignant Dragon) wouldn’t dare to appear. But after one or two weeks, it'll likely be around the time for him to recover."

Hao Ren gritted his teeth, feeling that time was very tight.

"You need to hurry up; the Heavenly Dao is turning over, and Jiuniu's rule is ending. Yazi will appear then. Given his temperament—rather than letting one go, he prefers to err on the side of caution by killing a thousand. Your grandmother is an ordinary person with weak demonic energy, so I can help cover it up for her. However, Su Han, being at peak Gān-rank as a dragon clan cultivator, will emit layers of demonic energy over time, which might lead him to kill Su Han to eliminate potential future threats."

Bai Ze’s words caused Hao Ren to be alarmed.

Su Han chose the day when the Heavenly Dao is turning for his tribulation while Taiyi Cave Lord also picked this period to transform into a demon, both taking advantage of the relatively weaker cosmic order. But Hao Ren almost overlooked this new "Ancestor Dragon," whose temperament was fierce and bloodthirsty.

If Jiuniu still values some sense of justice, then Yazi, who acts alone, aims to carve out tranquility in the world through killing!

Su Han, with demonic energy potentially changing inside him, might very well be his target!

Every few thousand years, the world uses Yazi’s power to cleanse all filth, but this inevitably results in countless wrongful deaths.

"I've warned you of everything I could. I don’t wish to get involved in these cosmic disputes; if Yazi comes looking for you, I won't intervene," Bai Ze said.

Hao Ren nodded.

Bai Ze chose to live a secluded life among ordinary people and avoid revealing her identity just to stay out of such conflicts. She already did enough by helping save the lives of his grandmother and Su Han.

In Su Han’s hospital room, no one was there to take care of her, making her look lonely. This was probably due to chaos at the Dragon Shrine right now, where the nine deputy hallmasters who fought Taiyi Cave Lord all had some demonic energy in their bodies, requiring it to be expelled within the shrine. Other inspectors were also unsuitable for taking care of Su Han.

Hum!

A golden glow flashed outside the window; when Hao Ren opened his eyes again, he saw a female cultivator dressed in white already standing inside the room.
