Chapter 351 Peach (Please Take Time Off to Add 2/8 Updates)

Chapter 351 Flat Peach (please take leave to add 28 more chapters)

"We don't have anything good at home, but these few peaches are quite delicious. I'll pick two for you to try."

"Grandpa! There are three of them..."

Zhao Youxuan tugged on the old man's sleeves and whispered.

"Um?"

The old man looked at her strangely, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

There is no place for women to stay in college!

"Ahem."

Seeing that there was a benefit, Li Rui shamelessly called out Li Wei.

A stream of light condensed behind him, half of his head raised, and he looked timidly at the two strangers.

"Grandpa Zhao."

Old man Zhao's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard Li Wei calling him.

"Which family's daughter is this? She's so good, come and eat the peach!"

The old man stretched out his hand to grab it, and the plumpest peach fell into his hand with a click, and he happily stuffed it into Li Wei's hand.

Holding a flat peach that was about the same size as her own face, and smelling the tempting sweetness of the fruit, Li Wei smiled sweetly: "Thank you, grandpa."

"Be good! Be good! No thanks! No thanks!"

Old man Zhao smiled like a grandfather as if he was seeing his granddaughter.

Then he saw the expectant looks of Li Rui and the two of them, and his kind smile instantly faded, his eyes suddenly turned melancholy, he looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and sighed sadly.

"well……"

Do you want such differential treatment?

Li Rui rolled his eyes in his heart, knowing that this genius treasure was difficult to obtain, so he could only continue the conversation in a sensible manner.

"Grandpa Zhao, what's bothering you? I wonder if we can help?"

Old man Zhao's eyes flashed with tears, and he grabbed Li Rui with his iron-like fingers, squeezing his bones until his bones hurt.

"Xiao Rui, are you really willing to help me?"

"Uh... the boy's abilities are limited..."

"No trouble, as long as you can take Xuanxuan out to school!"

Li Rui: "......"

"ha?"

……………………

Walking out of the quiet valley in a daze, Li Rui saw an excited yet sad figure in his team.

Zhao Youxuan put on a simple sportswear. Except that she was too beautiful to be human, she looked no different from a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old.

She looked back at the valley three times a step. The old man stood on the path and waved to them from a distance.

"Woo... Grandpa..."

Feeling her reluctance, Li Rui sighed and patted her shoulder.

"Let's go. I can come back to see him during the holidays."

"Woooooooo..."

Li Rui pushed him away with his mouth slumped, and the four of them quickly disappeared into the vast valley.

After a while, Old Man Zhao still stood there, looking at the direction Zhao Youxuan left from a distance, his eyes full of sadness.

Huh~

A fiery red stream of light shot straight down from the sky, and instantly condensed into a figure beside Old Man Zhao.

"Are you willing to give away your precious granddaughter?"

The visitor was wearing a fiery red Taoist robe, with white hair and a childlike face. He looked about the same age as Old Man Zhao, but his skin was as smooth and delicate as a baby.

"The real dragons in the prophecy are here, what else can I do?"

Old man Zhao's eyes were still looking longingly into the distance, with deep reluctance in his cloudy eyes.

"Tian Xingzi's prophecy is like a double sword. Do you believe him?"

The old man sneered, his face full of contempt.

"It's okay if you don't believe it...I...can't...protect...her..."

Old Man Zhao's eyes showed painful emotions, and his voice became more and more weird, and finally turned into a monster-like roar.

Huge tumors began to bulge on his body, and snake-like scaly tentacles sprouted from his face. Countless bloody mouths opened on his exposed skin, and terrifying and ferocious eyes protruded from inside.

Qiang~

A tattered "wooden stick" on the wall of the thatched house suddenly erupted with a powerful spiritual light visible to the naked eye, turning into a black beam of light and shooting towards Old Man Zhao outside.

The "wooden stick" was suspended above Old Man Zhao's head, and the terrifying sword intent resonated with it. Ripples bloomed in the space around him, and all matter within the range turned into nothingness.

Even the old man in red robe frowned and stepped away.

After a long time, the sarcoma on Old Man Zhao's body, which was constantly squirming and struggling as if it was about to burst out of his body, shrank back.

The eyes and tentacles slowly converged, and the "wooden stick" fell into Old Man Zhao's hands, struggling to support his body.

"When did it become so serious? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Haha, what's the use of telling you? This is spiritual pollution. I can only rely on myself... I can only rely on myself..."

Old Man Zhao murmured to himself, his cloudy eyes seemed to be covered with a white film, which made it even weirder.

After taking a breath, Old Man Zhao stood up straight again, his blind eyes still looking at the direction Zhao Youxuan left.

"Only the 'dragon' can protect her. That child's future should not be in this wilderness!"

"Stop talking about this, how long can you last?"

"In ten years, I have one last chance..."

Old man Zhao finally withdrew his gaze and looked at his friends beside him.

"If I fail, I will have to trouble you to find a few more friends. I guess I will have divinity by then. Don't waste the materials after killing me. Eat and use when you should. By the way, remember to give Xuan Xuan keeps a copy."

"Are you sure your granddaughter wants those things?"

The old man in red robe didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"You can give her some other good things in exchange."

Old man Zhao smiled slightly and looked into the distance again.

………………

With Zhao Youxuan in tow, Li Rui and others were unable to return to the city directly and could only return to the Shushan base along the original route.

Looking at his system panel, Li Rui was happy and troubled.

"Permanent divine gain energy is detected, Black Iron Level Greedy Gluttony is activated, and the absorption capacity is increased by four times!"

"Absorb and solidify 21% of the overall gain energy, gaining an additional 3572 points of health."

"Gain an additional 1401 mana points."

"Acquire divine solidification and extend the host's life span by 137 years."

"Acquire divine solidification, and the host's energy absorption efficiency increases by 10%."

"The above gain energy accumulates in the host's body and is dissipated over time. The host is asked to digest and absorb it as soon as possible."

Flat peach!

I didn’t expect it to be a real flat peach!

Although it is not as abnormal as the legend says, just extending one's lifespan by more than a hundred years is a huge profit. If you put it outside, countless rich people would be willing to replace it with one even if they lose all their money, right?

Not to mention there is a huge amount of life and mana, this trip is not...

After a pause and looking at the confused Zhao Youxuan beside him, Li Rui blinked his eyes, his heart was in a mess, and he didn't know whether he was at a loss or not.

Logically speaking, after receiving such great benefits from others, I should wholeheartedly help others fulfill their wishes.

But Old Man Zhao was vague and only asked Li Rui to take Zhao Youxuan out to school and take good care of her.

Take good care of... These three words, there is a lot of room for manipulation.

Go out and find a school for her, buy her a house, settle her down, and give her some money. This is considered taking care of her.

Taking her around like a family member, teaching her all the common sense on earth, and worrying about her for the rest of her life is considered taking care of her.

Suddenly, I discovered that many paragraphs were missing from the previous chapters for no apparent reason, ranging from dozens of words to hundreds of words. There was no prompt in the background, and I was confused by the deletion.

If you readers see something that is confusing, please remind me. It is probably the starting point's blind comparison operation, so I can change it again.

Finally, please vote for the third update~
