Chapter 498 Raising a Cub for Sixty Years
"Sixty years ago, when I was still a little kid, I accidentally got an opportunity from the Shen family couple, who are now the grandparents of Wu'an Hou. Because my clan never owes karma casually, I thought of living in the Shen family to protect the Shen family couple...
Unexpectedly, before I could repay the karma, the Shen family couple both died in an accident, leaving behind a baby boy..."
The rest of the story has almost no twists and turns.
Simply put, 朏朏 originally planned to disguise herself as a cat and go to the Shen family as a pet. Unexpectedly, the Shen couple passed away, and she was forced to change her original career plan and turned from a lucky pet at home to a nanny.
She raised the baby boy alone, not only raising him to be plump and white, but also nurturing him from an unknown warrior into a famous general. She watched him grow up as a son, and then raised a son for him. When the son grew up, she continued to raise his grandson, until the eldest grandson inherited the Wu'an Marquis Mansion. Sixty years passed like this.
Si Linglong was stunned.
"How much karma do you owe to the Shen family..."
[It actually let someone raise its cub for sixty years. For a monster, it has quite a lot of patience...]
[This 朏朏... is a cruel beast. 】
Helian Yue didn't say anything, but he agreed deeply in his heart.
Si Linglong then asked, "How many more years do you plan to raise the child for them? You are not young for a human now."
The old lady finally felt a little respected as an old lady again, and her face returned to its usual kind and gentle expression.
"I originally planned to protect the Shen family for sixty years. Now that the sixty-year period is approaching, I will naturally plan to leave."
Helian Yue's heart was slightly moved when he heard this, thinking of what she had said before that fate was determined by heaven, and how several famous doctors had been unable to make a diagnosis before, and he vaguely understood something.
"So you are pretending to be sick now so that you can pretend to die in the future..."
Helian Yue's voice was slightly deep, but he couldn't describe what this feeling was.
When he heard that the old lady was seriously ill, he was indeed worried about her age, but now...
In fact, they had planned this for a long time.
Suddenly I have a feeling of misplaced emotions...
The old lady seemed to feel guilty when she heard what Helian Yue said. She met Helian Yue's gaze and explained hurriedly, "It's not that I'm pretending to be sick. I just couldn't stand being strangled by the purple killing vine. Although ordinary people can't diagnose it, I really suffered a lot."
As she spoke, she saw that Helian Yue remained silent, so she paused and sighed helplessly.
"Well, I do intend to take advantage of this illness to pass away."
The old lady said helplessly, "My demonic power is weak to begin with. I have not made any progress in the past sixty years because I have been in the mortal world. Instead, my demonic power has been weakening. Now I have been attacked by the Purple Killing Vine. I am afraid that I cannot hold on until the sixty-year period is complete."
Si Linglong had been listening on the side and couldn't help but be curious, "Since you have been staying in Wu'an Marquis Mansion, how did you get entangled by the Purple Killing Ivy?"
That thing usually grows in the mountains, right?
"I secretly went on a long journey a few days ago."
As the old lady spoke, a hint of anger flashed across her face, and she said angrily,
"I know that my demonic power has weakened, and I have been making preparations in advance. Twenty years ago, I accidentally discovered a Lingshuangzhi that had not yet grown in Mount Suo. In the past twenty years, I have specially visited it every winter to bless and nourish it with my demonic power."
"A few days ago, I calculated that the spirit frost was about to grow, so I went there on purpose, intending to pick it and swallow it to restore my demonic power. However, I never thought that the spirit frost had been stolen by someone!"
"I searched the surroundings, but not only did I not find the remains of Ling Shuang, I was also entangled by a purple killing vine! That's why I had no choice but to pretend to be sick in advance."
The old lady finished speaking with an angry look on her face, but she saw that the two people in front of her were both strangely silent, and she was puzzled for a moment.
Si Linglong felt a little strange at this moment, because——
[Suoshan, I think we passed by there on our way back.]
[Lingshuang, it seems, it seems, was also picked by Li Sheng nearby...]
【Ah, this...】
