Chapter 160 Grandpa
After a few hours of staying in the space, Mo Li and Fang Yu decided that it was best to help the humans in this war. Of course, they weren’t planning to involve the rest of the sect. It was decided that the sect would change its base into the secret space.
After a few more days of staying in the space, Mo Li and Fang Yu finally left and went back to the human world. Using Fang Yu’s expertise in potioneering, it was easy for her to create so dicines that were able to counter the diseases that the devils used against humans. Of course, this had sothing to do with the fact that Mo Li was a very old demon. He was practically soone who has lived a long— long— long life. While Mo Li never really told her his real age, she guessed that the man might have probably traveled to different worlds with different tis, aning, he could be older than ten thousand years old.
With his age, cos a lot of knowledge from different worlds.
"I think it would be fair if I call you grandfather," Fang Yu smiled when she lifted her head and found Mo Li staring at her while she finished brewing another batch of potions.
"Grandfather?" he lifted an eyebrow, amusent apparent in his eyes.
"Yes. It would be fair, considering you are so old. Hey, tell .... How co you look like this? Did you found so sort of secret pill that would make you look this handso forever?"
Her words were enough to make him chuckle, slowly, his low chuckle turned into a burst of full-blown laughter. His shoulders shook as he held his stomach and finally sat on the ice bed where he was lying. "Would you believe ... if I tell you that I was created this way?"
This ti, it was her turned to lift an eyebrow. "Created... like a robot?"
"Robot?" he asked. "What’s a robot?"
"Oh... it’s uh... probably you haven’t seen one yet. But they are made of tals and they are programd to do sothing. They are made."
"Like chas?"
"You know about cha?"
"I have traveled to a destroyed world before. It was quick and I wasn’t able to gather any information about it but... I have heard about cha."
"Well, cha are just like robots but chas require people to ride them, yes? A robot can do a certain task based on their programs." She answered absentmindedly before she pursed her lips. As expected, Mo Li’s eyes already glinted.
"Shall I ask you how you know about these robots?’
Fang Yu smiled. "No. You can’t." Her answer was already expected. Thus, Mo Li shrugged in response.
"Alright." He looked at Fang Yu, staring at her side profile as she prepared the next set of ingredients for the potion. A long stretch of silence followed his words.
"Hey, I have a question." Fang Yu uttered without looking at him. "What would you do if I suddenly disappear one day?"
"I will find you," he answered without batting an eyelid. For so reason, he was already expecting this question from Fang Yu.
"And if... you can’t find ?"
"I would," his voice was full of unmask confidence. "I will always find you." There wouldn’t be any goodbye between them as he was confident that even if she disappeared, he would surely find her again.
"But isn’t that tiring?" she asked.
"I am allowed to rest." Mo Li smiled. "But I won’t quit."
His words made her froze for a few seconds. "And... what if... the next ti you find ... I am no longer Fang Yu?"
Again, he laughed, his voice sounded lodious. "You were never Fang Yu." He said, certainty apparent in his voice. "I don’t need Fang Yu’s face to find you." That was a fact. Even if she would look like an old lady, he would be able to identify her.
"Do you— Do you believe in multiple universe?" she couldn’t help but ask.
He shrugged but didn’t answer her. He stared at Fang Yu intently before sighing. "You can’t leave ."
"Hm?" she raised her head and t his eyes.
"I said... you can’t leave ."
She smiled. "Well that would depend on fate, right? We can’t really tell what would happen in the next few days."
"Fate... is what you do with your life," he uttered. "Only you can control your fate. Your fate depends on your actions and their effects. Just like a domino effect."
’Domino Effect.’ Again, she turned silent. What was that just now?
Seeing her face froze, Mo Li added. "It will depend on our choices and this ti... I chose to stay with you." There wasn’t even a hint of hesitation in his voice. Seeing the sincerity in his eyes made her turned her head away. It was bright and warm, and the fact that she didn’t have the sa emotions made her a little gloomy.
She turned her attention to the ingredients. For so reason, seeing him like this is making her chest a little heavy. Mo Li is not supposed to be soone important in this world. He was the master of the villain, and being close to him shouldn’t change anything. But Fang Yu realized that Mo Li’s presence had greatly affected her— the Lily inside her.
Of course, she knew this is irrelevant as she would forget everything. Well, the ti fra of ten years made her think of doing things to least making him happy. Fang Yu convinced herself that this would act as a paynt for Mo Li’s help in this world.
Fang Yu was aware that without Mo Li, everything would have been too hard for her. This was still her second successful quest, and she was aware that she still did a lot of mistakes. She was dumb, and her decision making sotis sucked. But she is determined to learn.
A sigh escaped her lips. It was only sad that she wouldn’t be able to take the pill that was supposed to heal souls. Fang Yu was planning to try the pill, and see if it would affect Lily’s soul.
"What are you thinking?" his voice interrupted her stupor.
"The pill." Fang Yu uttered. "I wanted to make it, but because of this... I think it would delay things."
"You sure you wanted the pill for your disciple and not for yourself?"
It was as if a lump in her throat appeared. "Of course." She answered without looking at him. She knew he would be able to tell that she was lying once her eyes would et his.
"You know that feeding him pills without real experience would make him weak, right?" Mo Li said. He, too, was surprised by Ji Tian’s progress. Ji Tian’s talent was normal. However, his growth was comparable to Dong Hu’s. That is sothing that normal people wouldn’t be able to do. "Pills would help him advance, but without experience, his fighting skills would suck. It would be his downfall."
She nodded. Her job is to make him strong, not make him a good fighter. The robot would surely disagree with her thoughts, but she was sent to stop the killer from killing Dong Hu. That was it. However, since she was Ji Tian’s master, Fang Yu also did her best to help Ji Tian beco more powerful.
Even the robot didn’t give her tasks about Ji Tian’s fighting skills. aning, this is sothing that would co naturally. "You shouldn’t underestimate Ji Tian." Male leads are called leads for a reason. They are lucky and overpowered. Even if you squash them to death, they would still survive just because of so random fluke. They are supposed to be winners, and the universe would make sure it would happen.
Mo Li only gave her a knowing look before he nodded. "You are right. I have been underestimating him since I t him." At first, Mo Li hated Ji Tian because he was weak. Then, because of his progress, he hated him because he was a little handso. However, he soon realized that what he actually hated was the fact that Ji Tian would spend ti with his wife from ti to ti because he was her disciple.
He hated it. He hated seeing them talk. He hated the look on Ji Tian’s face every ti Fang Yu would give him so advice. He hated the fact that he couldn’t touch him because that would surely break Fang Yu’s heart. He just... He hated everything about this Ji Tian! Of course, these were only inside his mind. On the outside, Mo Li was smiling at Fang Yu. His smile to so beautiful that it imdiately made Fang Yu wonder if Mo Li was planning to kill Ji Tian.
"You— " Fang Yu sighed. "You can’t kill him." She suddenly said. "If you kill him... I will hate you forever!"
