Chapter 264: Help Me Up, I Can Still Be Saved! 25

The True Dragon hadn't expected the young lady, who said she would return, to actually come back. He was both surprised and delighted. After dealing with the Snake Woman, he turned back, only to find that the young lady was gone, replaced by a white-haired old woman.

"Holy crap, who are you?"

Su Tang: "…"

Why did she feel a bit angry?

Having guarded the place for seven hundred years, the True Dragon's mind wasn't as sharp as before. Only when he saw the old woman about to hit him did he suddenly realize, "Young lady, how did you become like this?"

Su Tang replied, "This body of mine was already sixty years old. Without my core, I'm just an ordinary person. Have you ever seen an ordinary person who doesn't age at sixty?"

The True Dragon was still in a daze, mainly due to the drastic change.

"So, what are you going to do now?"

Su Tang thought this dragon was a bit foolish. "Either I cultivate again and form another core, or I wait for death."

Since he had relied on her to find the Snake Woman, the True Dragon couldn't just ignore her. He said, "I'll give you a drop of dragon blood and a dragon scale. Dragon blood is very helpful for cultivation, and you can use the dragon scale for defense."

Although it seemed like only two items, both were incredibly valuable. Su Tang immediately thanked him and then asked, "How is the Snake Woman?"

The True Dragon replied, "Her seven souls and six spirits have just been reunited. She'll remain unconscious for a while. I won't be coming back to this place. If you want to find me in the future…" He paused, then said, "Ah, I'll be returning to the heavens. You probably won't be able to find me."

Su Tang nodded and changed her clothes. After all, at her age, dressing like before was a bit inappropriate. However, there weren't any clothes suitable for her age in her Qiankun Bag. In the end, she reluctantly pulled out a set of nightclothes, styled her hair into an old woman's bun, and then went out.

However, she didn't expect that the first person she encountered after leaving the barrier was the male lead.

This was incredibly awkward!

Mo Qinglan was clearly stunned. They hadn't seen each other for just over a month. She entered as a young woman and emerged as an old woman. Who could handle this? But he quickly regained his composure and even spoke cautiously.

"Little Martial Aunt?"

Su Tang replied, "Call me Grandma."

System: "…"

System: "???"

System: "Holy crap, at this juncture, can we not play around?!"

Su Tang retorted, "Life is already so depressing. Can't you let me have some fun? Besides, I've played so many roles, but I haven't tried being a grandma yet."

The system immediately knelt (figuratively).

Of course, besides the system, Mo Qinglan was also feeling a bit uneasy. Over the past month, he had thought about many things, but in the end, he still hadn't figured anything out. The only thing he was certain of was that he didn't want to leave. But when she actually came out, he didn't know how to speak.

Su Tang said, "If you find it difficult to call me Grandma, you can call me Little Grandma."

Mo Qinglan looked at her, a mix of emotions swirling within him. "Where's the dragon?"

Su Tang answered, "The person he was waiting for has awakened, so naturally, he won't stay here any longer." After speaking, seeing him blocking the way, she couldn't help but ask, "Grandson, is there anything else?"

Su Tang, with that face, calling him "Grandson" was truly impactful.

Mo Qinglan's expression stiffened slightly. "Don't call me Grandson."

Su Tang replied, "Alright, Little Grandson, is there anything else?"

Mo Qinglan was helpless. Indeed, he had imagined countless scenarios of their reunion, but he had never imagined this one.

"Is there any way to change back?"

Su Tang dropped a "I don't know" and walked past him.

She originally thought the male lead wouldn't follow, as any normal man would keep his distance from her in her current state. But not only did he follow, he even drew his sword.

Su Tang immediately took a step back, looking at him warily.

Seeing her guarded look, Mo Qinglan felt a pang in his heart. It was only natural for her to be wary and alert; after all, he had slaughtered the entire Yun family. But the act he had never regretted before now filled him with a faint sense of remorse as he looked at her.

No, he didn't regret killing the Yun family scum. He regretted not seeing her one last time. Perhaps, if he had, the outcome would have been different. After all, at that time, she was, at most, a bit bad-tempered. With the Mo family slaughtered, it was normal for the young lady to be afraid of him. She was so young then, she probably didn't even know about the feud between the Mo and Yun families.

She wasn't wrong; she was just wrong for being a Yun.

"Ding, blackening value decreased by 10%, current blackening index: 48%."

Su Tang was shocked. She had only aged, and it decreased by so much?

But what shocked her even more was yet to come. She heard the male lead apologize to her.

"I'm sorry."

Mo Qinglan's voice was slightly bitter. He knew very well that they could never go back.

Su Tang, with a stern old face – a truly old face this time – said, "I forgive you. But, it's only me who forgives you."

There were so many people in the Yun family. Apart from those who deserved to die, she couldn't forgive him on their behalf.

This was the mistake he made, just like the mistake the Yun family made in the past. No one could interfere in their feud.

Mo Qinglan understood, but the more he understood, the more he realized how wrong he had been in his rage. He still remembered the most difficult period of his life, when he sought help from the Yun family, only to be turned away. The Yun family's eldest daughter, with her haughty chin raised, hadn't even spared him a glance, dismissing him like a beggar and throwing him a pouch of loose silver.

How ridiculous. The dignified eldest daughter of the Yun family had only given him some loose silver, not even enough for her to buy a trinket.

But now, thinking about it carefully, although the Yun family's eldest daughter was spoiled, she had never done anything like beating or killing servants. She would even secretly feed stray dogs on the roadside, let alone her fiancé, whom she had known for so long. Perhaps, it wasn't that she didn't want to help, but that her parents had stopped her. Even that money was likely scraped together by her.

The more he thought about it, the closer he felt to the truth, and his heart felt as if it were being squeezed, the pain making it hard to breathe.

"Back then…"

Su Tang immediately became alert. "Back then, what? There was no 'back then'!"

The more she rushed to deny it, the more it confirmed his suspicions.

He had doted on his fiancée for nearly ten years, watching her grow up since childhood. How could he not know her character? Yet, he had been blinded by hatred.

He gave a wry smile, but continued, "That money back then… it took a long time to gather, didn't it?"

Su Tang replied, "I don't know what you're talking about." Then, looking at him, she said, "Is there anything else? I really have to go."

She really didn't remember; it had been so long, who would remember such small details?

However, Mo Qinglan smiled bitterly. "Where do you want to go? I'll take you."

He took out his sword, intending to escort her.

"No need, we're not going the same way." The young lady clearly disliked him, unwilling to get close to him. But even so, before leaving, she couldn't help but stop. "You… Forget it, take care of yourself."
