Chapter 171: She now had a direction to work towards. This was obviously a happy thing. (2)

“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.”Reêad latest novels at novelhall.com

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.”

Qing Ruyi paused before continuing to say, “His Majesty said that as long as I complete the task he gave me, he’ll turn me into a full demon and resurrect Brother Mo.”

Ruan Qiuqiu came to a sudden realization. “So that’s why you were so surprised when you found out that Grandpa Mo isn’t dead...”

“Right.” Qing Ruyi smiled, but her smile quickly turned sad. “But your Grandpa Mo doesn’t have long to live, and my life is completely in the hands of His Majesty, so I’m unable to share my life energy Brother Mo.”

Of course she knew what Qing Ruyi meant.

Grandma Ruyi’s task was to monitor them and wait until the time was right to kill her, and then Yuan Jue.

So Qing Ruyi had probably suddenly attacked her yesterday because she thought it would be easier to keep an eye on a disabled person. As for why Grandma Ruyi stopped attacking her and even told all of this, it was entirely because she had helped Grandpa Mo and his family.

Ruan Qiuqiu probingly asked in a heavy voice, “But you didn’t attack us yesterday. Does that mean you already changed your mind?”

Qing Ruyi just leaned down and went back to slowly digging the wild vegetables from underneath the snow. She quietly said, “I don’t want to kill you.”

“Child, listen to me, leave him.” Grandma Ruyi quickly looked at Ruan Qiuqiu. “You haven’t formed a life contract with him yet. You don’t need to stay and work so hard to survive. I can send you to a tribe that’s friendly to humans. I can train you too.”

Grandma Ruyi’s voice became more gentle. “I know that it’s hard for you to make a decision right away. When you go back home, take your time to think about and tell Grandma your decision tomorrow...”

Ruan Qiuqiu shook her head before Qing Ruyi finished speaking.
