Chapter 1067: Chapter 1067: Once Young
Just now, Grandma Mad suddenly appeared, fighting against the Devouring Sky Golden Python with her back to Qin Sisi. Her movents were nimble and her actions extraordinary, making it hard for Qin Sisi to associate this person with the hunched old woman with a shuffling gait she knew from the canteen at Heavenly Magic God’s Castle.
Now that Grandma Mad had turned around, it was indeed the sa face without a doubt. She walked steadily to Qin Sisi’s side, helping Qin Sisi to sit up and lean against the big tree behind her.
"Thank you, Grandma." Qin Sisi was both wanting to cry and smile. She couldn’t believe that the person rescuing her in this critical mont was Grandma Mad. Back at Heavenly Magic God’s Castle, she prepared als for her every night, waiting no matter how late it was. Qin Sisi had yet to repay that kindness, and now she owed her a life-saving debt as well.
Grandma Mad did not harbor many emotions, just looked at Qin Sisi with pity and asked, "Do you still have any Bodhi Pills? Quickly take one."
Qin Sisi nodded, took out a Level Four Bodhi Pill from her storage ring, and put it into her mouth. Just as she was about to say sothing, a sudden "crack crack" sound ca from nearby.
Both of them turned their heads and saw a series of cracks forming on the ice encasing the Devouring Sky Golden Python, spreading visibly to the surroundings. It wouldn’t be long before the ice shattered.
Grandma Mad was greatly shocked. She had thought her Ice Seal Spells could trap the Devouring Sky Golden Python for around twenty minutes, but didn’t expect the creature to be so formidable. In just a few minutes, it was about to break free from the ice.
"Quick, let’s go!" Qin Sisi struggled to stand up. The Bodhi Pill’s effects hadn’t fully manifested, and a Level Four Bodhi Pill couldn’t completely heal the injuries of a Level Five Magic Spirit. Her muscles and internal organs were still greatly pained, but there was no ti to rest.
Seeing that they probably couldn’t contend against this huge beast, Grandma Mad helped Qin Sisi to quickly walk away. The recent use of the Ice Seal Spells had drained much of her magical power. Conjuring wings to fly with Qin Sisi seed strenuous, so they had to walk for a while and wait for her magical power to recover.
After walking for a while, Qin Sisi stopped and turned back to look at the Devouring Sky Golden Python that was about to burst out of the ice. She had a hunch that the Golden Python hadn’t been seriously hurt and would only beco more ferocious. Their speed of escape couldn’t match its chasing speed; they were bound to face a battle eventually.
"Sisi, why aren’t we leaving?" Grandma Mad urgently urged.
Qin Sisi shook her head at Grandma Mad and said, "Grandma, we are not as fast as it, we can’t escape."
"But we can’t defeat it," Grandma Mad said with a worried face. From the fact that the Devouring Sky Golden Python could break her Ice Seal Spells, which had consud much of her magical power, in just minutes, she knew she was no match for this Sixth Order Demonic Beast. Qin Sisi was also seriously injured right now; they had no chance of winning.
"Wait a mont," Qin Sisi whispered, her eyes fixed intently on the Devouring Sky Golden Python as disordered thoughts in her mind slowly coalesced.
"Grandma, your intrinsic attribute is gold, right?" Qin Sisi looked at Grandma Mad and asked.
Grandma Mad hesitated for a mont, then nodded: "Yes."
"I have an idea." While the Devouring Sky Golden Python was still not freed from the ice, Qin Sisi quickly shared her plan with Grandma Mad.
"Will this work?" Grandma Mad looked doubtful. In her view, it was too risky; if they couldn’t hold out until the end, they might both end up dead. If they fled with all their might now, there might still be a slim chance of escape.
With a grit of her teeth, Grandma Mad urgently said, "Let’s split up. I’ll draw its attention, and you run the other way."
Qin Sisi’s expression changed, and she grabbed Grandma Mad who was about to head towards the Devouring Sky Golden Python, earnestly saying, "Grandma, don’t go, I know your good intentions, but you’re not its match either. Doing this is akin to seeking death. Only by joining forces do we stand a chance to win."
Grandma Mad stopped in her tracks. If there was still a chance of life, no one would choose death.
Qin Sisi grasped Grandma Mad’s thin hands, choking up as she pleaded, "Grandma, believe
once, perhaps we will succeed! If we can’t escape in the end, then let’s die together."
Grandma Mad’s body trembled, looking at Qin Sisi in shock. In her more than eighty years of life, this was the second ti soone had proposed to live and die with her.
Scenes from many years ago blurred in her mory, appearing nebulous in her dreams as if from a previous life. Now, gazing into Qin Sisi’s starry bright eyes, those images gradually beca clear.
The lovely lady who was cold as ice when angry and whose smile blossod like flowers when happy, said crisply like jade, "Xiao Jin, let’s go over there and see, the Demonic Beasts over there must be more thrilling."
"Xiao Jin, push harder, the two of us together will surely win."
"Miss, that Demonic Beast is too powerful, we can’t defeat it." At that ti, Grandma Mad was still a young girl with long braids.
"Don’t be afraid, Xiao Jin. If we really are going to die, then we’ll die together." Her Miss held her hand like Qin Sisi did, encouragingly said.
The first ti she heard talk of death, she was not only unafraid but also felt happy.
The Miss she wholeheartedly served, of noble lineage and powerful mana, actually said she was willing to die together with her, a small servant girl.
At that ti, she secretly vowed to take good care of her Miss for life, even if it ant dying, she would die in front of her Miss first.
Unfortunately, this wish was ultimately unfulfilled.
Latter, when her Miss was to be married, she was genuinely happy for her. The man was not only tall and handso but also the most prestigious man in the Demon Sacred Realm; her Miss was going to beco the most noble Sage Ruler.
She followed her Miss into the Royal Palace, taking care of her daily life, her pregnancy, and also that child who was as beautiful and adorable as her.
She thought her Miss would live happily ever after with that man. However, the man who once said he would shelter her Miss from troubles brought her the most sorrowful and painful storm in this world.
Having an affair with a palace maid, illegitimate child born, and that child being of legitimate bloodline...
Each and every thing beca an unhealable wound in her Miss’s heart. Unable to bear such humiliation, she angrily broke it off, choosing a solitary life in the deep palace, vowing never to et again.
Everyone said the Miss was heartless, but only Xiao Jin, who stayed by her side, knew the bitterness and pain in her Miss’s heart.
As the most loyal servant of her Miss, Xiao Jin harbored so complaints against Sage Ruler Ruiyan, until after the Miss passed away and Sage Ruler Ruiyan also committed suicide, then her complaints sowhat diminished.
She devoted herself to caring for Sage Ruler Tian Yu until he got married and had children, then she decided to retire after achieving her duties.
But looking at the little Ye You, she vaguely realized that this child would likely enter the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle, and eventually beco the next exalted Sage Ruler.
