Small snowflakes gently fell down between Ruan Qiuqiu and Qing Ruyi.

Her ears felt hot, but Ruan Qiuqiu didn't touch them. Standing in front of the slightly hunched over Grandma Ruyu, she straightened her back. There wasn't any hesitation in her eyes.

In front of the half-fiend and half-demon, who had once walked down that difficult and dim path, she once again said, "I won't give up on him."

Qing Ruyi looked slightly stunned. Although she had changed her appearance into an elderly person, her light brown eyes were still clear and beautiful.

Ruan Qiuqiu's voice was shaky, but her gaze was firm. "I won't give up on him."

Even if she had seen Grandma Ruyi's half-demon and half-fiend form, she wouldn't give up on her gray wolf Tianluo.

If it wasn't for Yuan Jue, Lu Ziran might have succeeded in forcibly taking her away from here.

No, even earlier than that, he had saved her when he had fought off that fiend by himself on that snowy night, and when he had come out and picked her up from the snow when her legs had cramped.

If it wasn't for him, she would have died a long time ago.

"I almost killed him. What I did wasn't that much different from killing him." Grandma Ruyi stroked the white hair on her temple and very gently and softly said, "Even though he had paid so much, the fiend energy still clashes with my demon energy. The reason I can live until now is entirely because of His Majesty."

Qing Ruyi paused and turned to ask her, "Are you curious why I'm here?"

Ruan Qiuqiu nodded. Choked with emotion, she asked, "... Is it because of Grandpa Mo?"

Grandma Ruyi briefly smiled. "Sort of. Back then, I thought Brother Mo had died because of me. When I regained clarity, I planned on committing suicide, but I was save by a powerful fiend."

Ruan Qiuqiu was floating in the air. She looked along the row of willow trees. From a distance, she saw a teenager slowly walking over here with a thin roe deer on his back. He was dressed very strangely. It was obviously very hot, but he was wearing thick animal skin robe and pants, and his complexion was pale.

Ruan Qiuqiu saw him getting closer and closer. She was finally able to make out his face. It was Grandpa Mo!

Ruan Qiuqiu was surprised to see that Grandpa Mo's hair was already greying at this time

Thinking of the wolf at home, who was absorbing spiritual energy and recovering from his injuries, Ruan Qiuqiu instinctively refuted. Her voice was full of panic that she wasn't aware of, "No, that won't happen."

Her wolf was already slowly getting better. How could he lose his mind and become a monster? How could he have so little time left to live? He… He was clearly already getting better.

She shamefully teared up and forcibly pressed her lips together to keep herself from crying out.

After thinking about it, Ruan Qiuqiu answered, "Do you mean half-demons like Little Mao?"

Qing Ruyi shook her head and slowly said, "No, half-demons aren't unusual. The children of demons and humans will be a full demon, a full human, or half-demon and half-human. Half-demons won't suffer too much discrimination. Other than not being able to fully transform into a human form or demon form, they inherited the intelligence of humans and the attack power of demons. They had a lifespan of two to three hundred years. Although half-demons are special, their lives won't be too rough."

Even at their slow pace, they arrived at the spot to pick wild vegetables without noticing.

Qing Ruyi had asked a bunch of questions without pause. Ruan Qiuqiu felt almost overwhelmed by that series of questions, especially by the last question. She couldn't clearly put into words the emotions that spread from her heart, which in turn caused an unnatural blush to spread over her face.

Ruan Qiuqiu struggled to find the right words to say. She stammered, "Grandma Ruyi… this can't be why you wanted to speak alone with me, right?"

Qing Ruyi saw her reaction and slightly raised her eyebrows. She could tell that Yuan Jue and Ruan Qiuqiui's relationship hasn't progressed that far based on Ruan Qiuqiu's reaction.

She moved closer to Ruan Qiuqiu and took a sniff. She relaxed a bit. "That's good. You're not a real husband and wife pair yet."

Ruan Qiuqiu thought Grandpa Mo might not be as old as she had guessed. That's why he had become younger in such a short period of time.

She quietly glanced at the gentle-looking Grandma Ruyi. She had probably changed herself to look so old in order to match Grandpa Mo. How unexpectedly romantic. She noticed that Qing Ruyi wasn't pushing Grandpa Mo to eat the grilled meat...

"Brother Mo, you don't want to eat? Are you not eating because you want me to feed you?" Qing Ruyi was smiling as she picked up a skewer and walked over to Grandpa Mo.
