Passing Through the Human World

This time, Shadow Two stayed for about an hour before using the late hour as an excuse to take her leave.

Before she left, Grandma Wen kept telling Shadow Two to come visit often in the future.

It was clear the old woman liked this girl who had dropped by so abruptly.

Shadow Two had indeed done well.

She truly behaved like a thoughtful granddaughter, chatting with Grandma Wen about everyday matters the entire time. Later, she accompanied her in looking through photographs and reminiscing about the past.

The hard years that the mother and daughter had endured alone after her husband departed—Grandma Wen could now recount them with a smile.

Lu Ran could not help but admire her in secret.

She was a great woman.

When she put on her reading glasses and looked through the photo album with her comrade's granddaughter, she seemed so kind and refined.

Beneath that gentle exterior lay a heart that was strong and broad-minded.

Grandma Wen was now in robust health and lived comfortably. The daughter she had raised was even more outstanding—a military doctor who saved lives and treated the wounded, stationed with her unit inside the Demon Lair.

Perhaps this was the blessing Heaven had bestowed upon this great woman.

"Whew~"

The evening breeze of Fallen Immortal Mountain carried the refreshing fragrance of grass and trees, tousling Lu Ran's short hair.

"Give it to me." In the Fallen Immortal Pavilion, Lu Ran sat on a long bench and held out his hand.

The "granddaughter" who had just been gentle and lovely now wore no expression. Kneeling on one knee before Lu Ran, she presented a thin bamboo slip and a photograph.

The photograph was a picture of Wen Lanxin and her daughter together.

The bamboo slip came from Holy Spirit Mountain.
