The Hao Yueshen's exquisite face was covered in cold sweat, her complexion was deathly pale, her eyes were tightly closed, and her body was trembling uncontrollably, as if she were enduring immense pain.
After observing for a moment, Lin Yu couldn't help but frown; the situation was more complicated than he had initially imagined.
This is the calamity of the Hao Yueshen herself, a fusion of all her thoughts and feelings from countless reincarnations. If Lin Yu were to act rashly, it might not only be of little use, but could also backfire.
Lin Yu pondered for a moment, then finally waved his hand.
"Buzz..."
The void stirred slightly, and a scroll appeared in front of Lin Yu. The scroll slowly unfurled, and Lin Yu walked straight in before the scene was fully revealed.
What came into view was a sky full of dark clouds, as if the world had been plunged into darkness.
On a small hilltop amidst a violent storm.
A frail young girl collapsed to the ground, the torrential rain cascading down her thin body, making her look even more pitiful.
The muddy ground stained her hair and long dress; the thin girl's breath was weak, and her cheeks were flushed, as if she had a high fever.
The little girl had curled up into a ball, collapsed on the ground, her chapped lips repeatedly murmuring, "Grandpa... I'm scared... Grandpa..."
But the voice was too faint, like that of an ant, and in this desolate wilderness, no one would bother to listen to the cries of such a frail girl.
And Lin Yu appeared in the dark sky.
"Buzz..."
With just a wave of his hand, the raging wind and rain subsided. The torrential rain, which had been like a waterfall, gradually diminished and disappeared in less than three breaths.
Looking at the frail girl who had collapsed to the ground, Lin Yu shook his head helplessly.
Beside the girl was a somewhat collapsed mound of earth, the purpose of which is self-evident.
Lin Yu raised his hand and the slender girl was lifted into the air, landing in Lin Yu arms.
"Grandpa... I'm scared... Grandpa..."
The girl kept murmuring, her face flushed unnaturally, her eyes tightly closed.
Lin Yu placed his palm on the girl's back, and a gentle force seeped into her body from his Lin Yu.
The girl, who had been trembling and talking nonsense, showed noticeable improvement in her trembling after the power merged into her body, and her flushed face gradually calmed down.
Before long, color returned to the girl's face, and her body, which had been chilled by the downpour, warmed up again.
The little girl was as thin as a little monkey, but she had a pair of extremely beautiful eyes, with long eyelashes trembling gently like butterfly wings.
She opened her eyes groggily, only able to vaguely make out a smiling face.
Who is this?
The little girl looked at it strangely, opened her mouth, and just as she was about to speak, she could feel her throat hurting terribly, and her voice became hoarse and unpleasant.
"Who... who are you?"
The little girl spoke cautiously, and her vision gradually cleared.
It was only then that she realized the man in front of her was perhaps a little too handsome.
Dressed in white, she possessed an indescribable air of otherworldly elegance, and her face held a gentle expression, making her more beautiful than anyone she had ever met.
Although she had always lived with her grandfather deep in the mountains, she had been to the county town several times before to buy medicine, and she had never seen such a beautiful person before.
The little girl stared blankly at Lin Yu, momentarily stunned.
Sensing the girl's stiffness, Lin Yu assumed she was afraid of him, so he forced a gentle smile and softened his voice, saying, "My name is Lin Yu. Shall I take you away from here?"
"Huh?" The little girl stared blankly at Lin Yu, then as if she had realized something, she immediately shook her head like a rattle drum.
"No, no, no, I won't leave! I won't leave! I want to stay! Grandpa, my grandpa!"
Lin Yu's gaze fell on the mound below, which had been somewhat collapsed by the torrential rain. He sighed, raised his hand, and waved his hand. The next moment, the mound was restored to its original state. Not only that, but a magnificent tomb had also appeared on top of the mound.
"Your grandfather has already been reincarnated." Lin Yu said, raising his hand and waving, revealing a painting before the little girl's eyes.
It was a gloomy world, with countless spirits wandering around. Although it was just a picture, the little girl felt an indescribable chill. Her thin body trembled involuntarily, and she leaned into Lin Yu's arms again.
Putting everything else aside, this handsome man's arms are really warm!
In that painting, a long river runs through the heavens and the earth. The river is strange; its beginning is clear, but its end is murky. There are even many ghosts on its banks.
And across that river, there stands a rather flimsy-looking bridge, where countless souls line up in queue.
As if sensing something, one of the elderly men, with a weathered face, raised his head and looked into the void.
"Grandpa!" the little girl cried out almost immediately, her beautiful eyes instantly filling with tears.
The old man's eyes were also filled with reluctance and farewell, but the person beside him pushed him back sharply.
It was an elderly woman with gray hair, holding a soup bowl in her hand, who unceremoniously extended it to the little girl's grandfather.
"Grandpa!" the little girl shouted again. She seemed to realize something and shouted desperately, but her voice could not penetrate the painting.
She only saw the old man glance at the void one last time before drinking the medicine, turning around and walking onto the long bridge, his figure disappearing into the mist.
"Grandfather..."
The little girl knew that her grandfather was truly gone, and large tears streamed down her face; she was heartbroken.
"If you want to see him again, come with me!" Lin Yu said at the opportune moment.
The little girl stared blankly at the scene where her grandfather was no longer there, opened her mouth, but said nothing.
Lin Yu waited patiently, knowing that the little girl simply hadn't realized what was happening yet.
After a long pause, the little girl finally spoke as if she had made up her mind, "Brother, I'll go with you. I'm willing to leave with you!"
"However, I still don't want to see Grandpa. I've heard people say that after people die, they go back to the Underworld to be reincarnated and start a new life. Grandpa was such a good person before, he'll definitely be rich and powerful in his next life, and he'll definitely live a good life!"
"I can't fall behind either. I need to live my life to the fullest and make the most of it. I won't... bother him anymore, because he's no longer my grandfather."
