Chapter 97 097 Helping her fulfill her wish

"Lin Yun".

A kind voice suddenly echoed through the empty valley.

"Grandmaster!"

Before Jiang Yan could react, the small snake on her wrist darted out like lightning.

When I looked up again, I saw several more figures at the entrance of Medicine King Valley.

Qingyuan explained, "Miss Jiang, that is the Ancestral Grandmother. Let me take you there."

At this moment, Lin Yun was nestled in the palm of the Ancestral Grandmother's hand, behaving extremely obediently.

The Ancestral Grandmother raised her hand and gently stroked his head, checking the breath within him, and smiled, "It seems you suffered a lot before, but Miss Jiang has taken good care of you; she has put in a lot of effort."

Lin Yun stared at his ancestral grandmother with his emerald green snake eyes and said anxiously, "Grandma, could you please take a look at her eyes?"

The Ancestral Master looked at him meaningfully and smiled, "I thought your first question was about asking me to help you transform. Now it seems that in your heart, her affairs far outweigh your own. Do you like her that much?"

The little snake, its thoughts exposed, lowered its head somewhat embarrassed and said, "No, transforming into human form is also very important..."

"No big snake can survive."

"..."

Before Lin Yun could speak again, Jiang Yan's familiar voice came from behind him: "Greetings, Grandmaster Grandmother."

The others behind her also greeted her, "Lord Chiling."

'Red Spirit' is the name of our ancestral grandmother, a name that has long resounded throughout the Three Realms.

The Ancestral Grandmother looked at everyone with a kind smile and said, "Come in with me."

Upon entering the main hall of Medicine King Valley, everyone smelled a faint medicinal fragrance, the kind of scent that helps calm the mind.

"Make yourself at home here, don't be so formal. I'm just an old woman, I don't have that many rules."

After saying that, she turned to Jiang Yan beside her and said, "Stretch out your hand, let Grandma take your pulse."

Jiang Yan rolled up her sleeves and offered her wrist.

The moment the ancestral master's fingertips touched her, Jiang Yan felt a warm current flow through her entire body.

She couldn't see the Grandmaster's expression, but Dongfang Chen, Gongsun Jin, Feng Qingyu, and the others could clearly see the subtle wrinkle between Lord Chi Ling's brows.

After a moment, the ancestral master said, "Go back to my room and get some medicine. Although it can't help you recover immediately, it can shorten the recovery process."

Jiang Yan stopped being polite and thanked her, saying, "Thank you very much, Grandmaster Grandmother."

"No need to be so polite." The Ancestral Grandmother turned her head and looked at the others: "Come over here too, let me take a look."

Feng Qingyu, who was closest, said respectfully, "Then I'll have to trouble Lord Chiling."

After showing it to Feng Qingyu, the Ancestral Grandmother turned to Jiang Yan and asked, "I wonder if it would be convenient for Miss Jiang to borrow their daily pills for me to take a look?"

"It's convenient." Jiang Yan said, then took out two bottles of medicine from her magic bag and presented them with both hands.

The ancestral master took out one pill and gently sniffed it.

Then he smiled and nodded: "The recipe is excellent."

She then helped Dongfang Chen, Shen Yuchen, Xiaobai, and Ling Yue finish reading, and finally Gongsun Jin.

"Later, I will add a special medicine from Medicine King Valley to each of you according to your individual physical condition to help you recover as soon as possible."

Feng Qingyu said respectfully, "Then I'll trouble you."

The Ancestral Grandmother smiled and said, "Your Majesty the Demon Emperor is too kind. As I said, please make yourself at home here. I'm going to prepare medicine now. I'll have Yun'er take you around Medicine King Valley."

Jiang Yan originally planned to go along as well, but suddenly heard the Ancestral Grandmother say, "Miss Jiang, come with me to the pharmacy first, and I will have the apprentice take you there to find them later."

Upon hearing this, the little snake in the ancestral grandmother's hand suddenly widened its eyes and looked at her nervously, subconsciously rubbing its tail against the grandmother's palm.

The Ancestral Grandmother raised her eyebrows slightly and said silently: Look how scared you are. I won't make things difficult for her.

Lin Yun lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly, then suddenly jumped out of her palm and said to the others, "Let's go."

The pharmacy in Medicine King Valley is several times larger than the pharmacy in the Li family.

The medicinal herbs inside are arranged in categories, including some that are rare on the market.

The ancestral master took out some medicinal herbs and handed them to Jiang Yan, saying, "Miss Jiang, take these herbs back and refine them into pills that will help them recover as quickly as possible, according to their individual constitutions."

Jiang Yan nodded and said, "I thank the Ancestral Grandmother on their behalf."

Upon hearing this, the Ancestral Grandmother chuckled and said, "Look at you, being so polite with me again."

"Miss Jiang, you've worked hard taking care of Yun'er these past few days. He's a bit mischievous and quite the troublemaker in our Medicine King Valley. I hope he hasn't caused you any trouble?"

Jiang Yan smiled and said, "No, he is a bit too lively, but that's a good thing."

"It's good that I didn't cause you any trouble." The Ancestral Grandmother looked at her kindly, took her hand, and handed her something: "Keep this treasure safe. It can help you achieve your wishes at crucial moments. Remember, it's crucial moments."

Just as Jiang Yan was about to look down, her ancestral grandmother used her magic to send it into her treasure bag, gently instructing, "Don't take it out unless it's absolutely necessary, otherwise its magic power will be greatly reduced."

Jiang Yan nodded: "I understand."

The matriarch smiled and called over the medicine boy outside the door: "Take Miss Jiang to find them."

After Jiang Yan left, the Ancestral Grandmother came to the ancient tree in the courtyard of Medicine King Valley.

In the dead silence, an old, calm voice suddenly rang out: "You're willing to give away the Time Scroll, knowing full well that Yun'er loves her, yet you still help her leave this world? Can you bear to watch that snake's sincere devotion go to waste?"

The Ancestral Grandmother looked up at the ancient tree that had suddenly spoken and said, "It is precisely because I know he likes her that I must help Miss Jiang. It doesn't matter if you don't understand me, but Yun'er will definitely understand me."

"But her mission here is not yet complete. Forcing her to leave would be against the will of Heaven."

The patriarch's expression changed, becoming more serious than ever before: "I've lived to this age, and you're talking to me about destiny? If it were truly according to that destiny, I should have been a handful of dust and a lonely soul long ago! The way of heaven is nothing but an old shackle to me. I can break free, and others may not be able to."

"Besides, what is the Way of Heaven, what is destiny? The people of Heaven act arbitrarily and recklessly, and the bitter fruit they have brewed is to be borne by an innocent person? If everything in this world is decided by their word, then what is the meaning of the existence of all living beings? I do not accept my fate, nor will I allow Yun'er to accept her fate, and naturally I will not allow that Miss Jiang to accept her fate either."

“You…” The branch instantly transformed into a hand with clearly defined veins, stroking his long beard, its tone both helpless and indulgent: “You’re really something else.”

He sighed softly and said, "However, judging from that Miss Jiang, she doesn't seem like someone who has resigned herself to fate. She has a bit of your younger self in her."

The patriarch smiled and said, "That's why I should help her even more."

In the evening, after dinner, Lin Yun was the first to line up for a bath, and then quietly went to the door of the Ancestral Grandmother's bedroom.

He raised his snake tail and knocked on the door of the ancestral master's grandmother.

"Is this Lin Yun? Come in quickly."

Lin Yun pushed open the door with a "snap" using his snake tail, then quickly closed it again, and scurried to the feet of his ancestral grandmother who was reading a book nearby.

With a sweet expression, she called out, "Grandma."

The Ancestral Grandmother put down her book, looked at his true form with loving eyes, and chuckled, "She helped you take a bath? I didn't know that the successors of our Medicine King Valley needed help even to take a bath?"

Lin Yun blushed and lowered his head, saying, "I like it when she helps me wash."

Grandma chuckled softly, "You're quite honest."

Lin Yun, his vertical pupils wide with anticipation, said, "Grandma, I want to transform into human form. Can you help me?"

The Ancestral Grandmother sighed and asked with a smile, "Have you thought it through? If you take human form, she won't be able to help you bathe, will she?"
